mikemiller.gyc Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi, i am not an incredibly advanced user but i know a bit. I have Autocad 2008 , and Autocad 2004 LT. Answering the question for either one would be great, also considering upgrading to 2009, so if that has relevance... Basically doing some basic wiring stuff and was wondering if there is any command that behaves like Visio Line Connector tool. (Microsoft Visio) (i.e. line jumps, auto routing, and click points) If there is a way to get that same behavior with an Autocad line, i would love to know. Thanks.

rustysilo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Perhaps you should explain what you are trying to accomplish. The more info you give the quicker you will get answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemiller.gyc Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 very basic electrical wiring... if anyone has used visio, they have the line connector tool. there are click points that you can click from one to the next... when you do that it auto draws a "path" from the first point to the second point. if there is another line connector in the way it will automatically "jump" the other line connector. i am not sure if there is a way to make a line that behaves this way in Autocad, and i was just hoping someone else would know. i don't know if that clarifies what i mean at all?

acemasi Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You might have to write up a lisp routine on this. I don't think that works in CAD. It will be great to have this on CAD. Makes Life Easier. I've experience Visio and its great when you are drawing a line and it automatically jump over a crossing line creating semi-circle above it when approaching.

richardkent Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Set SNAP to a value that makes sense for what you are working on. Also use OSNAPs to snap to the end point, mid point of lines, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
