Q: PLOT and ASE command only prompts on the command line, without pop-up dialog boxes, and why?

A: the AutoCAD system variable CMDDIA used to control PLOT commands and dialog boxes that display the ASE command, setting CMDDIA = 1, you can solve the problem.

Q: the printed chart effect is very poor, there are differences of gray line, why?

Answer: this is the case, most of the configuration of the printer or plotter, driver, and the operating system. Usually the following points into consideration, can solve the problem.

1. configure the printer or plotter, error jitter switch is closed;

2. printer or plotter drivers are correct, if you need to upgrade;

3. If the AutoCAD system printer configured to output, swap with AutoCAD for all types of printers and plotters provided ADI driver reconfigure AutoCAD printer;

4. on the different models of printers or plotters, AutoCAD provides command, you can further configure.

For example, to support the HPGL/2 plotter series of language, you can use the command "hpconfig";

5. in the dialog box, set the AutoCADPlot brushes, and colors and styles, as well as the correspondence between the pen width; a different color assigned the same pen number (preferably the same one), but the sum of the line, and the pen width, can be different. Some inkjet printers can only support 1-16 of pen number, if the sum of numbers is too large you will not be able to print;

6. the pen width settings are too high, for example, greater than 1;

7. operating system if a WindowsNT, may need to update the NT patch package (ServicePack).

Q: after installing R14, MSWORD, what fonts have not, what happened?

A: the reason affecting MSWORD font is installed for system R14 called PhantomAutoCADOLE/ADI's virtual printer. PhantomAutoCADOLE/ADI virtual printer allows R14 to the adoption of new ADI drivers, print or draw raster graphics. R14 typical installation, and does not include this option, only in the full install or custom install, you will have the virtual printer, sometimes it will be set to the default system printer, without making any hints.

According to the MicrosoftOffice software "WYSIWYG" principle, MSWORD document the use of fonts, and the system default printer. That is, the screen font and the printer font is the same as or similar. Windows will print printer fonts, look for a suitable screen display font, if you do not find a matching font, or the printer driver does not provide a screen font information, Windows will select the nearest printer fonts, screen fonts. If you put the ADI PhantomAutoCADOLE/virtual printer as the default system printer fonts, MSWORD only two: morden and plotter.

In the Windows system, specify the correct system printer as the default printer, MSWORD font can be restored to normal. If the system does not have any other printer, it should be in the "printer setting", you configure a Windows system printer, even if it is a "logical" printer is also available.

One thing to keep in mind that you cannot modify PhantomAutoCADOLE/ADI virtual printer properties, but cannot delete it, otherwise it will affect the raster graphics and the output of the OLE object, may even cause a system crash.

Q: can achieve mass printing?

A: the method a: the first graphic output to the PLT file, and then use the DOS batch file specifies the directories under PLT files batch printing.

Method two: R14 have specialized external functions, will be able to take multiple graphics files, based on different print configuration file, the output to one or more printers or plotters, to achieve the purpose of the batch plot. These two modes are more flexible, less chance of error, the efficiency is higher. In the AutoCAD program group, select BatchPlotUtility.

Q: is pasted into a Word document in the AutoCAD graphic print out of the line is too thin to do?r>
A: the AutoCAD graphic clip to MSWord document, it seems everything is relatively smoothly. But when you print the document, the AutoCAD graphic lines become very small, the effect is really not good. We give users the following workaround:

1. use the AutoCAD PostScript print driver, configure a PostScript printer.

2. If the background color of AutoCAD and MSWord different background colors, such as the R14 default background color is black, you have to change the background color of AutoCAD, and background color the same as MSWord.

3. run the PLOT command, select a drawing to a file. In the brush specifies the dialog box, set the width of the pen.

4. start a new layer, use the command input PSIN .eps file.

5. then put the graphics in the clip to MSWord

There is also a method, you can convert lines in AutoCAD into PLINE cord, set width and then copy and paste into Word.

Q: why do some graphics cannot be displayed, but they do not print?

A: If the graph drawing in AutoCAD automatically generated layer (DEFPOINTS, ASHADE, etc.), this is expected behavior. You should avoid these layer drawing entities.

ACAD gives background transparency in

TIFF-color chart in CAD can be set to transparent. Increase the memory you can print and display problems. My computer has been inserted 768M 100M or raster image shows that although slowly, but can operate.

1. use Photoshop drawing open, select from the menu bar, then click the "image" → "mode" → "grayscale".

2, again from the menu bar select the "image" → "mode" → "bitmap" set "methods" and "use" and "50 per cent threshold".

3. Save as TIFF, exit. This TIFF file is monochrome, you can set any color inside CAD.

1. Why does my autocad to use CTRL + c to copy, the copied object is always far away from the mouse control points. How to solve this problem to?

In the CAD's clipboard copy function, the default starting point of the lower-left corner of the graph. It is best to copy with base points, so that you can specify the required basis points. Take BP replication is CAD requirements combined with the WINDOWS Clipboard. In the "Edit" menu, or right-click the menu with the command.

2. I text description has been used kanji font, output text and the size of the letters, numbers, is essentially the same. However, some symbols are not available. And occupy a large space. Try another font, but the size of text and numbers too much difference. Consult you with that font. But how to change the input type some text in the font style to mobility or a whole.

Use multiple lines of text.

3. How do I measure with arc segments of polylines in length?

Just use the list command (list)!

4. how to equal division geometric? how to make a rectangle divided into arbitrary N×M inside a small rectangle, or a circle divided into N, or the equal division of arbitrary angle.

Divide command is carried out on the line, and so on, and cannot be divided other geometries. Direct and divide the geometry is no such feature. But when you are on the two edges of the rectangle do M and N respectively equal division, also not available on the rectangle, etc?

5. may I ask what commands you can quickly cancel the previous command, the undo, and enter the "u" very troublesome, whether there is a return to the last saved command when operation?

In fact, there are early on in the CAD. The UNDO command cannot be used to "U". Please see the UNDO command prompt:

Command: undo

Enter the number you want to abandon the operation or the [Auto (A)/control (C)/(BE)/end (E)/mark (M)/back (]

You can use the UNDO command line option to give up more than one at a time. "Start" and "end" to a number of actions defined as a group, the "marks" and "returns" and discard all operations with the use of return to predetermined point.

If you use the "back" or "number" abandon the AutoCAD multiple actions, will be necessary to build or repainting graphics. This occurs when the UNDO close, so enter UNDO5 will generate a time, and will generate uuuuu entered five times.

UNDO in some commands and system variables, including to open, close, or save window or graphics, display information, change the graphics display, to generate graphics and in different formats output graphics commands and system variables.

6.hatch fill long range not found? we use often encountered when hatch fill for a long time could not find a range of situations, particularly in the dwg file itself is relatively large, I frequently used method is to use a command that you wish to fill layiso range line where the isolate, then use layer hatch fills you can quickly find the fill range.

Hatch fills the main line to closure, you first have to fill layiso command range line where the layer of isolation is a good idea. in fact, many people didn't care about the fill pattern of the border have a boundary set (in the high bar). The so-called boundary set, this is a collection of objects in the how to find the boundary, the default setting is "the current viewport", so the map objects in many cases it will be very slow. In this case you can create a new boundary set, let the system within this range to find the boundary would be a lot faster. Of course this boundary set should be relatively easy to get good

7. how to implement layers from top to bottom order switch?

AutoCAD has no layer stacking order, only the object of the front and rear.

1) front and rear is relative, it is only when you have special needs (e.g. Hatch object's layer reset, axis and columns, wall line layer to front to show the outer contour), you need to do so.

2) typically we only on a few specific layer of these objects do, therefore, you can select objects by layer and then on the select objects to place in front of the operation.

3) If youhave to press your custom layer order placed after previa, a program object can do: LayerManagerpro

Download Center have downloaded (or go to their website www.layermanager.com) (e2002)

8.14And 2002 traceable? for example 14 drawing tracking feature seems to have changed in 2002, while the inside is also tracking but could not get used, do not know what the experts in the use process has no such confusion

2000 later object tracking tracing than R14 strong — convenient! can also be used in conjunction with the polar axis is tracking the R14 cannot.

It seems your understanding is wrong Oh? choose point type 2002 "tk" can be tracked down, and exactly the same as the R14.

In fact 200x tie PolarSnap and don't want to then AutoTracing almost directly type the track "tk", and you can track a very large number of specific points (e2002)

9. in 2002 in a table, the many data in the table, letters, and numbers. How to make them as in word2000 do align?

A simple approach, each column data use the multiline text (MTEXT), alignment with MTEXT window properties to modify.

There are many skills, their own experience more. （lmlmss）

10. How will the Red words in drawings into grey (the easy way)?

Use the Modify method of the block attribute (battman). This command is in 2002 and 2004, R14 command under the "modify" menu, object--property---global.

11. given that decomposition (explode), which, in turn, use the command what is the command line without "block" command

Use the "GROUP" command can do similar work, focus on learning. It depends on you what object decomposition. If a multi-segment lines, you can merge after decomposition. "GROUP" command to complete.

12. Why does my CAD2000 stack button unavailable

Stacked use, has the tiered symbol (#, ^,/), the second is to put the contents of the stack before it can be selected.

13. how to draw a three-dimensional polylines? I feelCAD200X doesn't seem to be such a feature? (only tools)

In it the default tool bar is not. You can "drawing" menu, or keyboard input 3dpoly. Often, you can customize the tool bar.

Sorry sz-gg, but I want to thank you for your enthusiastic! my question wrong. I want to try along 3D polylines/or 3-d spline drawing a face: for example, triangle. Because 3D spline along I repeated bit stretched, so I thought: If you can draw smooth 3D polylines, I do not know if I can stretch? so said, I want to draw a smooth 3D polylines.

This thing he can't do. Three-dimensional multi-segment lines can only be a straight line segments. Of course, if the line length short enough that almost smooth. So there are some small programs is to use this method to make a three-dimensional drawing. But like you said a section of the triangle will appear distorted.

14. you know how to draw the line into L PL?

Pedit command, used to edit multiple line, combine (J) option.

15. in model space art is dotted, dashed line is printed, but how to layout in print becomes solid? in what print dashed lines in the layout?

Estimate you have changed the linear scale, while the proportion of "is used to paper space" (this is the default method of CAD). Online profile settings dialog box in the "scale to paper space" uncheck try before

16. in the pattern space style proportions, in model space set good alignment, the pattern space but cannot display!

There are two situations, if you only require a paper space watch style is appropriate, regardless of the display in model space, then I think you put style proportions change it back. If you want to model space and paper space and are looking at right, then you set the line style of the "proportional percentage to paper space" before the hook to get rid of it.

Psltscale-0, can be. Model space paint preferably 1: 1, otherwise edit up a lot of trouble!

17. Why use a print style sheet, when you print colored lines or dash? what is set?

There are two ways to set the print, if the color-related print, you cannot change the layer Manager print style settings. The other is named print style.

18. others have used ACAD2000 Chinese printmaking 140 more sheets barn Bay to modifications I, as-built drawings. The drawings are a significant part of the line is PLine multi-segment lines bold, I use ACAD2000 ACAD2002 Chinese version and English version when you print, PLine multi-segment lines cannot display stroke, a line with Line (including other ARC) in layer defined stroke can display stroke, I set up multiple print has remained the same. What can be done

When the line is set to pline width is 0, the print is printed by the line width. If the multi-segment lines width is too small, not the width. (Such as millimeters, drawing multi-segment lines width is set to 10, when you use the ratio of 1: 100, that is, when you print 0.1 mm. ) So many line width settings to print scale. While the width is 0, you can press the object properties to set (and other objects).

19. I used to do figure, AUTOCAD2000 PLINE of thick line, the line width for .25, in print, result R14 is thin, thick line not typed, then the stroke width to .5 or no change to .35. the final printed resultNormally, this is why? treat every drawing, change the line width is too troublesome, there is no set R14 once solved this problem?

Originally printed should not use this method to set, but print pen width setting.

R14 here is based on the colors to define the width of the line, the line width is not supported by the ratio of the value is in millimeters. Line width setting in the print dialog box.

Use pl line typically used in modeling of time, as there are colors of a plane with a single-line, print output, if you use different proportions, use pl line is based on proportional resize width. I'm afraid your figure is the line width and plot. Is recommended that you use the color line pen width control printing.

For ink-jet printer, if you set the pen width by color will print out the colored lines. Put the pen number changed to 7, is printed black.

20. before I run the command, depending on the mouth solprof can display more than one profile. But these days I find that my CAD2004 running the same command, but it cannot display the outline. But you can choose, can be printed. I ask each for DX don't know is what parameter is I have no intention of modifying or other reasons?

This is the profile projection four times. The system adopted in the mouth of freezing the xinshi (PV). This work can change practices. You can directly copy the model in model space and adjust orientation do enter layout set profile. This four objects can have a projection.

21. the surface of the field, blocks, entities, what concept? put several entities synthesis of an entity, and then select Select the at once when the merged entity.

Surface domain is to use a closed contour or the Central create two-dimensional region. block is are combined to form a single object (or known as block definition) collection of objects (a picture in a picture in General can be used as a block). the entity has two concepts, one is to constitute the basic graphic elements of the visible, and the second one refers to the three-dimensional objects. for three-dimensional solid, you can use the Boolean operations "to unite, for general entities, you can use the" block "or" Group (group) "to" joint ".

22. introduce custom AutoCAD2000 of pattern fills files

Fill pattern does not correspond to the pattern files, define pattern shape files are SUPPORT directory ACAD.PAT and ACADISO.PAT, pattern is by defining a different line patterns and corresponding angle but composition, you can reference ACAD.PAT and save the file as PAT ACADISO.PAT compiled file defines the fill pattern, but cannot be any pattern, for example, therecannot be an arc.

23. on the DXF file format

DXF-DrawingExchangeFile (graphic interchange file), this is an ASCII text file, which contains the corresponding DWG files of all the information that is not an ASCII forms, poor readability, but use it to form a graphics speed. the different types of computers (such as PC and compatible with SUN workstation specific different CPU use bus) even with the same version of a file, its DWG files are not interchangeable. in order to overcome this shortcoming, DXF AutoCAD provides, in its internal type file as ASCII, so that different types of computers available through Exchange DXF files to achieve the purpose of exchanging graphics, because the DXF file readability, users can easily modify it, programming, reached from external graphics editor, modify the purpose.

24. How do I enter 2.5 dimensional drawing of polar coordinates (angle)

This argument is not very precise, are you a three-dimensional drawing (because some of the books put in original two-dimensional drawing methods plus elevation and thickness of the 3D graphics as two-dimensional half) or worth mapping (CAD has an isometric function)?

Is worth mapping

It is not a two-dimensional half. Worth mapping If coordinates input, then three orthogonal direction angles are 30 (210) degrees, 150 (330), and 90 (270) degree. If @ 100 < 30.

25. who can tell me all of the shortcut command CAD?, somewhere described open cad support directories under the installation directory of the file inside the grindstone acad.pgp

Acad.pgp file defines a command alias CAD, not shortcuts! hope not mistaken concept. Command alias in the command line after you press ENTER to enter the command input method. While the command alias is pressed to the executed command. If ctrl + c for copy, ctrl + 2 to open the design center.

26. in the building plan Insert figure boxes do not know how to adjust the frame size? read the help, but still do not understand.

Figure box is the standard figure numbers. When used, it is necessary to take into account the proportion problem. printing So your graphic computing a selected figure numbers print scale. If the ratio is 1: 50, then when the frame is the frame zoom 50 times, narrow 50 times when printing is exactly the size of the original figure box.

27. see talk vectorization, just what is vector-based?

The so-called vectorization is is determined by the color dots bitmap files converted from a direction vector element graphic file.

Bitmap: commonly used formats are bmp, jpg, tif, etc, they are composed of many of the color dots, the higher the resolution, color, the more points, the larger the file size, color, point no concrete meaning, simply represents the color of his location.

Vector illustration: data (coordinates and the direction vector) to represent the graph, and does not change the graphics of zoom in, even if the file size has changedVariable will not be too big, and there is no concept of resolution, that is, not because the graphics enlarge or reduce the display of graphics and yinxiang.

These are individuals, it may be wrong. （zhynt）

This is a computer graphic recording, apart from the vector diagram and raster maps. Vector graphics in a line is defined by the segment length and direction defined. And grating figure is arranged by a point. Raster image zooming is like a stage like that.

28.acad2002: fillmode parameter to 1, 0; print out only the wireframe, asking how it shaped out of the surface?

If this is the 2004 Edition, it's very simple, you can print the screen effect. If not, this kind of stain, 2004 effect will not be able to print directly. To deal with a picture, and then insert the picture. After the print or rendering.
