    Embarrassed Text Lock

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi

    Not sure if you mean how to improve AutoCAD or how to improve Forum...I do have a thought on AutoCAD tho...

    Here goes....

    I use x-ref's inserted in model space and label in paper space - always.

    I would like to see a way of locking out model space while editting text in paper space. Unless you double click right on the text, you often end up in Model Space...I know - big deal right? It can become annoying or a big deal when a deadline is looming - when is one never? Also big fan of locking viewports, that has saved many a heart attack!

    I am not a Newbie, I have been around since Version 10, so I really appreciate all the improvements, each version gets a little better.

    Anyone else have a solution or any thoughts on this?

    Change SPACESWITCH to 0 and no more dbl clicking and going into MS.

    There are plenty that I don't know, and lots more I have never, nor likely ever will use. Be that as it may,
    I have spent a fair amount of time looking through them...I would have thought I would notice one as interesting as that!
    rkent delivers, as usual! :

    Say it ain't so dude! I consider you to be the Encyclopedia Britannica of system variables. I refuse to think otherwise.
