ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Do you have GRIPTIPS enbabled? Re: length of line. Maybe you are thinking of Quick Properties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikqdrum Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 yes tip are enabled. not quick properties.... usually there is info that follows cursor ie when you want to draw a line from the center of another, the word "center" would appear at that point, as well as the center symbol....

ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You must be thinking of OSnaps. Re: input at cursor. That's controlled by the Dynamic Input setting. Re: make command line go away. Ctrl+9 is what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikqdrum Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 how do I check dynamic input setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) What do you mean "how do you check it?" It's either Enabled or Disabled. Status Bar > Customization icon (far right hand corner of your screen) > Dynamic Input. You might benefit from taking a basic AutoCAD introductory course. These can be one or two day sessions held at your local authorized AutoDesk reseller. If that isn't an option use your Help file and/or buy a good after-market AutoCAD 2015 book. There are many available. Edited March 16, 2015 by ReMark Changed Task to Status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikqdrum Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 this is LT version, not sure if it can do that. cannot find customization icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Please include the letters "LT" in your Profile description. Edited March 16, 2015 by ReMark OP is using 2005 not 2015. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Try to remain calm and in your seat please. I was suggesting you also add it to your profile. What "other stuff" don't you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikqdrum Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 yea, im calm. haha forgot to update profile with job change...my bad so you don't think theres a way to get that on this version? Ive used 2002LT and it had that input... like I said, first day here and no other drafters... will def get a book, cause this little stuff drags the process down ok, another thing can only click ON object that needs trimmed or extended, cannot "window" the object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) What exactly IS showing in the general area (Status Bar) displayed in my previous image? Edited March 16, 2015 by ReMark OP is using 2005 not 2015. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Try this re: Dynamic Input. Press the F1 key for AutoCAD Help and type in the words Dynamic Input. Is there a topic on how to enable/disable dynamic input? Yes or no? And...is the system variable PICKFIRST set to a value of 1? Edited March 16, 2015 by ReMark OP is using 2005 not 2015. My bad.

ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Gadz! My bad. I thought you were using 2015 not a dinosaur like 2005. Sorry. Yes, there was no Dynamic Input back in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Do the letters DYN show up in the Status Bar by any chance? What happens if your press the F12 key? Type DYNMODE at the command line and press Enter. What do you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
