Has anyone else run into this situation? You're checking on dozens of objects, one after the other, keeping the Properties pane open and docked to the side. Normally the pane closes after it loses focus (you move the pointer off of it). Every so often, though, it stays open for no apparent reason. The easy way to close it is to click on the border.

Hello im running AutoCAD 2010 as part of a Inventor Package and everything was working fine until i installed the Inventor 2011 ......(it was to try to sort something else out as the new features were introduced in 2011, but because of work policy were stuck using 2010......isn't work grand) Ive uninstalled 2011 without anything going wrong with Inventor 2010 but its AutoCAD 2010 im having trouble with If i create anything (could be a line or dimension) and then open the properties window or quick properties what used to be there isn't..... - in the quick properties it says it cant define anything - in the main properties window, instead of being able to alter the scale of the line / text & adjust lengths etc, the fields have been replaced, at the bottom of the fields are UCS co-ordinates initially i thought it was because installing 2011 has corrupted the files or done something weird and wonderful to them so ive tried: -Repairing -Reinstalling - Without Uninstalling the original AutoCAD 2010 -Reinstalling - With Unistalling the original AutoCAD 2010 Im running a XP 64bit machine with the latest service pack Ill get a screenshot to add tomorrow to make it clear what im on about.

I'm having a minor irritation with LT at the moment, when selecting multiple items near one another I occasionally click too fast and the machine reads this as a double click and subsequently brings up the properties palette. As I have quick properties enabled and can quite easily use ctrl+1 when I want the panel there is there a way of disabling the double click properties? It's more annoying than anything else and it breaks my concentration My machine is a bit slow as I may have mentioned (*****ed) about before so leaving the palette open and hidden does slow me down and I have tried adjusting the mouse double click settings but can't find a happy medium.

I have been working on a lisp program that will change one or multiple attributes on one or more blocks. I would however like to be able to add the current attribute values to the .dcl program, however I cannot manage to get attribute values for more than one block at a time. For example if you had two identical blocks with two separate attribute values (values not tags) and you pick both at the same time, when you open your properties window it will list the identical values (if any) and list the different values as "varies". Is there any way I can get this exact thing in autolisp? I am using vanilla lisp not visual, any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I would appreciate any help I could get on this matter. I'm running CAD2011, a pretty good flavor of an i5, 8GB, Win7x64, 1GB graphics, etc... a nice-enough laptop for sure that CAD should be run seamlessly. HOWEVER! When I select a dimension, it takes at least 5 seconds for the properties box to correctly display and populate, then another few seconds once I click inside the box to be able to scroll/operate a drop down, type, etc. I have seen this posted with no resolution before... can anyone offer any advice on this matter? I saw one poster mention reloading support files such as fonts that may be corrupted but I must concede that I don't know exactly how to do this i.e, where would I get another copy of all of my fonts?

I am trying to calculate multiple arcs (to similate part of an ellipse) to determine the individual distances from certain parts of the ellipse, but when I double click on the arcs, the properties manager shows the arc lengths as fractions, and not very accurate ones. I want it to show decimal inches. I already have my dimension settings on decimal inches, but that doesn't help. How do I get the properties manager to show me arc lengths in decimal inches? Thanks!

I have a whole lot of U-Bolts that I need to make in to Dynamic Blocks - I need to just add a stretch parameter so the nuts can be moved up and down according to plate thickness. I've done about 15 so far, quite a few left - then I wondered if it was possible to match properties of one completed dynamic block, to one non-dynamic block? Thanks.

Hi friend, sorry for my bad English. I need help, my properties menu have no information like weight, x,y,y layer etc. Ineed to know how i can activate it.
