johnshar123xx Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 AutoCAD 2008 Desired AutoCAD Map/Land Desktop Tools 1.) These programs contain a tool known as "SHRINKWRAP" which simply allows you to select numerous lines and automatically joins/closes the lines, making them a closed polyline shape or envelope. Does anyone know of a way to get this tool into plain AutoCAD? 2.) These programs also contain a simple fast tool for selecting similar objects known as "select similar" For example if you select a leader and the text attached to this leader and you right click to pull up the menu of numerous tools, on this list you will see the "select similar" tool. When you choose this tool the program automatically selects all the leaders with attached text located in the drawing. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this tool in plain AutoCAD? Thank You Quote
BOB'27T Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 For question 2: I'm not sure if LT has it, but try out quick select. Quote
rustysilo Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Shrinkwrap? Never heard of it. I thought regular AutoCAD had select similar... Quote
lpseifert Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Shrinkwrap? Never heard of it. Try AecLineWorkShrinkWrap Quote
rustysilo Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 That works! Pretty cool. Not sure if I'd use it though. Thx Quote
