As per title, a block inserted into a drawing modified by a colleague is appearing with text that has no fill. The block definition hasn't been edited (i think?), and other text within the drawing appears normally. Sysvars such as FILL, FILLMODE, and TEXTFILL are set to 1, but this doesn't seem to fix the problem either. I think I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something about references and blocks as I cannot get the text to display with fill using refedit or system variables, or I'm just not using refedit properly. If anyone knows what's going on, and as a bonus if you can explain it in terms of this - as I'm having a little trouble understanding where/what exactly the object is after inserting a block that contains references(?) - that would be super appreciated. Thanks for any help.

hi guys i have a FIELD expression working fine in AC2007 old 32bit desktop LINE's delta properties= x,y multiply scale factor eg: 0.03,-0.04 x 1000, then entmake MTEXT should display dX=30 dY=-40 but it's weird, Bricscad/v19/win7 x64 (sorry as i'm newbie) dX %<cExpr (1000 * %<cObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId 1889532720>%).Delta after double click to edit it became dX %<\_FldIdx 0a (if ACAD double click to edit FIELD, a dialog pops up, you can check formula 1000 * 0.030 & preview) can you replicate this bug?? (defun foo (obj x) (apply 'strcat (mapcar '(lambda (a b) (strcat a "%<\\AcExpr (" (rtos (float x) 2 0) " * %<\\AcObjProp Object(%<\\_ObjId " (itoa (vla-get-objectid obj)) ">%).Delta \\f \"%lu2%pt" b "%pr8\">%" ") \\f \"%lu2%pt" b "%qf1%pr0\">%" " \n" ) ) '("dX " "dY ") '("1" "2") ) ) ) test delta x=0.03 y=-0.04 (and (setq pt (getpoint "\nSpecify point.. ")) (setq en (entmakex (cons '(0 . "LINE") (mapcar '(lambda (a b) (cons a (mapcar '+ pt b)) ) '(10 11) '((0. 0.) (0.03 -0.04)) ) ) ) ) (entmakex (list '(0 . "MTEXT") '(100 . "AcDbEntity") '(100 . "AcDbMText") (cons 40 (getvar 'textsize)) (cons 10 pt) (cons 1 (foo (vlax-ename->vla-object en) 1000.) )) ) ) need some comparison eg: xxxcad/20xx/winxx dX ? ? ? ? dY ? ? ? ? or something else? if there's bug, any solution? thanks

I am an older user of AutoCAD and I am a newbie with BricsCAD. I am after assistance &/or help with conversion of my latest AutoCAD.arg to a BricsCAD.arg equivalent. I have read that BricsCAD is able to import user profile settings from a *.csv file but I don't think that AutoCAD can export user profile information to this *.csv file format. Thanks in advance Kim WILLIAMS

FYI: Steve Johnson has an article about this new lisp function called (inspector), in BLADE, for inspecting objects.

For anyone wanting to find out more about Bricscad here is a link to hundreds of short 2 or 3 minute tutorial videos each covering different topics 2d-drafting 3d-modeling learn-bim customization drawing installation-licensing interface images mechanical printing-plotting programming sheetmetal learn-shape There is also a series of books offered freely that cover Bricsacd BricsCAD for AutoCAD users (348 pages) Inside BricsCAD V18 (386 pages) Customizing BricsCAD V18 (590 pages) There is a complete training course covering the basics which is apparently over 36 hours of content from “Ron Myers - Summit Learning & Technology” which looks to be free as well, though you do have to register. And quite a few blogs are now covering Bricscad https://blog.bricsys.com/ https://blog.bricsys.com/category/topics/heidis-blog/ https://www.cadnauseam.com/2018/07/31/a-b-tip-1-clean-slate/ http://www.cadalyst.com/cad/bricsys-we’re-not-holding-back-dwg-part-1-37431 For anyone wanting to try out the program here are links to download a 30-day trial https://www.bricsys.com/en-intl/bricscad/ https://www.bricsys.com/en-intl/bim/ https://www.bricsys.com/en-intl/sheetmetal/ Bricscad also has a free program called Shape which gives you the chance to build models using the same tools as are found in the full program. It's a really good way to try out all the 3D modeling tools. Without the 30 day limit The file format is DWG just the same as all the other flavours of Bricscad so if you are doing an initial sketch or developing a complete drawing package in Bricscad, turning your model into a BIM model or using the sheetmetal upgrade, it always remains the same DWG file, with the same commands https://www.bricsys.com/en-intl/shape/ And if you come across a problem with the program or even have ideas to improve it then there is always support, and any questions here are sent directly to the people developing the program.

Hi! Have you thought of adding a BricsCad forum title here? Or is BricsCad a bad word? I'm wondering what the experiences of the users of both are and if BricsCad merits attention. Thanks! Ernie
