armenta_43 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Anyone out there that can help me figure out a mystery? I am working with Acad version 07 and I have inserted some points (PDMODE 34/PDSIZE 5). For some reason, now that I try and insert a point, it is so small you can't see it. I keep trying different sizes & styles but nothing works. I aso tried regen with no success...bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 what units are you using? a PDSIZE of 5 gives a point of a fixed size of 5 CAD units. perhaps you are drawing at very large scale, like a map or something which will make 5 CAD units very miniscule depending on your units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armenta_43 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 I am using Milimeters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 By saying Millimeters do you mean your INSUNITS are set to [4] or are you drawing objects with 1000 CAD units is to 1 Meter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armenta_43 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 My Insertion scale is in Milimeters...unsure what you mean by INSUNITS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Have you tried to change to size to something ridiculous, say 1000000, to see if that makes a difference ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 try -5, a negative size will keep the point a relative percentage to the zoom factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Have you tried to change to size to something ridiculous, say 1000000, to see if that makes a difference ? yep also on my mind, since pdsize of 5 is a fixed size, its very very small if you are working on a very large scale drawing.

armenta_43 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks, if the dimension style on the toolbar is saying ISO-25 would this cause the Node to be smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Scientist Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Would DDPTYPE help here at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armenta_43 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 DDTYPE did help...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Scientist Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Good stuff. What did you do just out of interest? Daz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armenta_43 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I typed in ddptype and changed the settings from relative to screen to absolute units and gave it a different size...resulting in Node sizing to average size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Having quoted what the PDSIZE was in your original post, I assumed that you would be familiar with the system variables and thus would not have needed DDPTYPE. Just shows how you should never assume anything and that our advice was falling on deaf ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Entering a negative number at PDSIZE is the same as changing it in the dialog, notice I gave you this answer earlier, did you consider it at all? Just curious how folk's minds process advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
