Lazer Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Lots of drawings open, hold CTRL and tap TAB to cycle then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Using the right-click bring the quad menu but by combining R-click with SHIFT CTRL and ALT you can access different menu R-Click + ALT = Animation quad. Coordinate transform set R-Click + Shift = Snap option R-Click + CTRL = similar to the defaul with Primitive Creation R-Click +Shift +ALT = Reactor Menu R-Click + CTRL +ALT = Rendering Menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 If you used layer color in your drawing and want to distribute material fast Use the select by Color Function when selecting for propagate material. edit > select by > color or type in the listener ( the pink window in the bottom) without the quote "Max select by color " The cursor will change, then select an object , all object sharing the same wirecolor will be selected.

DavidB Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Shift + Q quick render 'useful if your screen is too small and you have to scroll the main toolbar everytime) ALT + Q = Isolate selection . This i use a LOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS_Port Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 This is a very simple one All my standard layers start with "_" eg. "_S-Slab-txt" this way all my layers come first in the layer manager and the drop down list. I know there are filters you can set, but this way I dont have to worry. That is until some else starts doing this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADgirl Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 In 3D AutoCAD: If you select an object and then go into the orbit command it will orbit around that one object. When you end the command everything just goes back to normal. I don't use this that often but it's kind of cool and comes in handy sometimes.

fuccaro Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Nice one CADgirl! This is especially usefull when working on assemblies with a lot of components. Select one or a few objects before to start the 3DORBIT command and AutoCAD will hide the other ones during the orbit. It helps to see better the hidden parts. Also there is a command called 3DORBITCTR. It provides the same functionality as the "regular" 3DORBIT but in adition you specify the center of the rotation.

dtkell Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Maybe as a reminder to most, AutoCAD does not allow the following characters to be used in layer names; > (greater than) / (forward slash) \ (back slash) " (double quotation mark) : (colon) ? (question mark) * (asterisk) | (vertical bar) , (comma) + (plus sign) ` (single quotation mark) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtkell Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 BURST Burst is used to Explodes blocks, converting attribute values to text objects. More over this command will not explode the polylines to lines, mtext to text. This command will not damage any objects even if you select by ALL.

CADgirl Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I don't know if I was the only one who didn't know this, probably, but I was pretty excited when I figured this out- Whenever I'm using MText and I want to end the command I always hit enter but it just moves to the next line. But I figured out that if you hit Ctrl + Enter it ends the command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 In Inventor, use Volt or Design assistant when making a copy of large assembly, you will have options allowing you to control what will be updated and what will say the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 AutoCAD: Salvage a corrupted drawing. So, you opened a drawing only to find it has been corrupted. You've tried Recover but to no avail. Now what? As a last rsort, open a new drawing and then insert the corrupted drawing into the new one. The insertion will only bring in the main components of the corrupted drawing. Note that this trick does not bring in paper space objects. Hey, I didn't promise a miracle but it sure beats losing the drawing altogether now, doesn't it?
