A few minutes ago, I tried to drag & drop a *.png image to a thread response. The result was that my image appeared to open in a web based image viewer, and the "window" I was in had no forum navigation controls except the back arrow on the header, which would only take me back to my unread topics list. And that wiped out the post I was going to make completely. I will try and duplicate the error here. I will copy this message and paste it in a new post if the error occurs and add further info if there is any. Here goes... OK, I figured out how it happens. If you drop the image file anywhere else other than the drop "box" while it is highlighted and wrapped in a dashed line. the image opens in a new window with the LOCAL file name as the web address. If one is careful and doesn't get lost in the fog of "How in the @#$% did this happen?", one can get back to the postable message by closing the extra window before hitting anything else. Is the cause simply that I am too old and befuddled to do this computer stuff any more? More edit. Oh my. It is me. The image opens in a viewer when dragged to ANY webpage and dropped in empty space. I have been using computers since 1982 and have never even done this action one time before. I didn't even know it would happen. Can someone bring me some hot cocoa and a blankie? I'll be here in my rocking chair by the fireplace.

I guess once people get used to it and realize what it is and what it's for, they will start using it, but right now I don't really see it happening. I've been pretty active the last few days, helping out where I can, but my rep count doesn't show it. People say thank you but don't click the button.

Another (defun coords (lst) (apply 'append (mapcar '(lambda (x) (cond ((atom x) nil) ((vl-every 'numberp x) (list x)) ((coords x)) ) ) lst ) ) )

(defun foo ( L / pointp r) (defun pointp ( p ) (and (vl-consp p) (= 3 (length p)) (apply 'vl-every (cons 'numberp (list p))))) (while L (setq r (append (vl-remove-if-not 'pointp L) r)) (setq L (apply 'append (vl-remove-if-not 'vl-consp L))) ); while r ); defun foo _$ (equal (coords lst) (foo lst) 1e-2) T The above check equals to (vl-consp lst) (defun f ( L ) (cond ( (atom L) nil) ( (append (f (car L)) (f (cdr L))) ) ( (and (= 3 (length L)) (vl-every 'numberp L)) (list L) ) ) )

Something like this perhaps? (defun coords ( lst ) (if (and lst (listp lst)) (if (and (< 1 (length lst) 4) (vl-every 'numberp lst)) (list lst) (append (coords (car lst)) (coords (cdr lst))) ) ) )

Test of drag+drop image. Whoa, that works.....! Yet, somehow Adsk says it's too hard....

Mea culpa @ronjonp I created a new group for members with more than 100 posts but less than 1000 so I could reward loyalty - naturally, I didn't have forum permissions correctly set for that group and the upshot was that after you were promoted, you were actually penilised! Sorry, I'm still getting used the the new ACP

I guess myself and Dana W wasted time directing you to the appropriate editor for fixing these.

David, I just accidentally misspelled Shift. I forgot the "F" so I'm sure you can figure out what that spelled. I guess there's no swear filter on the forum anymore?

That's pretty awesome actually. Not even Facebook has a Dislike button. One can only unlike a post there.

This made me think about myself. If we had this "reaction bar" implemented ten years ago, I think I'd be the champion of dislikes haha. -TZ

It's early days. It's difficult to draw any conclusions about usage after less than a week on a new platform.

So, this is called "reactions" and the purpose is exactly as you have described. Currently the options are like this: From right to left we have: Like = +1 reputation point Thanks = +1 Ha Ha = +1 Confused = 0 Sad = 0 Dislike = -1 The general look and functionality of the widget isn't easily configurable but we have total control over what reactions are included and what the point scores are. On reflection, I don't see a real need for "Sad" but all the others feel relevant to this forum (particularly "Confused" ). As this is an entirely new featutre for us, I'd quite like to see how it goes before making any significant changes (other than removing "Sad"). I've seen it working on other forums and members seem to like the added variety that this gives over just like/dislike.

No problem it was just a suggestion. Some fora allow them others don't, it's the site owners choice and we respect that.

OK, how about this... It seems only fair that those who contribute to this forum get a link back to their personal site or business each time they post. Traditionally, this would be included in a forum signature but the problem with signatures is that they break the flow of a topic/conversation for those reading it. So why not include a link as part of the author information in the block on the left-hand side of the post. It could look like this: The link will be part of the member's profile and will only appear in the author details block if there is a URL in your profile to display. It seems to me this is a good arrangement since members get what they are entitled to (a link to their portfolio/business site) and the reading experience of topic is not disrupted. Let me know what you think.

It's a very large club. Us Boomers are all getting ripe at the same time.

For the purpose of printing, you definitely want to save as tif format, no doubt. But for the web, png or jpg is a better option. When I had my website, I tried putting tif images of my renders on it, but the large file size's caused the pages to load very slowly. When I switched to png, the images were still good quality and the pages loaded much faster.

AutoCAD has the ability to import Bing images into your CAD drawings, or are you simply wanting the raw imagery itself? If the latter, perhaps this might help?

It seems to be fixed now for me at least, I'm able to post to the forum and send private messages again. Thanks for the quick fix!

Added Chars (question marks) after COPYING from CODE (I'm joining an animated gif to show the behavior, hoping it shows) That happened to me maybe 3-4 times so far. Trying to figure out why this code bombed on my side, I found out that the var "msp" wasn't defined (but the var "msp?" was). I was about to post about that and noticed that the the var in the code section was actually "msp", and not "msp?". (Having tried numerous time in the past to use "wisiwig" kind of things, I found out that too often we get our text messed due to hidden mismatched tags, so back then I just learned how tags worked and controled them manually, turning off for good wisiwig.) I thought that maybe some kind of html tags were responsible for the added question marks, I pasted in notepad (that I always use to remove all formatting from copied text when I need to remove formatting) and to my surprise it modified the police of the txt file after pasting in it. In vlide, it instead adds randomly "?" The weirdest part is that when I reload the page either "?" don't insert themselves in copied text, or get inserted randomly at (other) random positions as example below. (I just noticed on the gif that it added one inside the c:scatter function as well.) So I went back, reloaded the page, copied and pasted again and look. None in scatter and in the "msp" var name, and none at the end of that line but one has been added before the scatter command. Am I the only one having that issue?

So, we can do this: The two software items are now on the same line (which makes sense), recovering the space used for the website link. Optionally, we could close the gap between "Website" and "AutoCAD" but this arrangement has a nice vertical rhythm IMO.

I believe hanhphuc is referring to the home page at cadtutor.net where it has recent and hottest posts not being connected to the forum now.

That's how it's always worked. Just freeze the block's layer.

You are correct. However folks are always looking for answers. And, there's no such thing as stale question. Stale threads perhaps... besides, I'm new to this site/forum and admittedly didn't notice the date.
