Drafting settings dialog box autocad 2010

There was one forum that mentioned editing a dialogboxes registry value, which doesn't even appear in this users registry, although that was for a different version of ACAD. I'm not an ACAD user myself and am not familiar at all with the software or what it does or how it works, so when providing solutions please provide as much detail as possible. Go to Solution. Solved by pendean. Thanks for the help. The system restore did it for now.

If it crops up again I'll be sure to either update this post or create a new one. I was grasping at straws and took my computer back to the place of purchase and had them reformat the harddrive and reload Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, but that did not solve the problem.

I contacted Autodesk and they uploaded a cleanversion of AutoCadLt along with Service Pack 2 thinking I had a bad copy, but it still has the same problems. On my only XP computer it worked fine. When you have saved file "test01" What happens if you disconnect your workstation from every network no cable, no WLAN , can you now work with the save dialog?

A question that is also open: log in to your Windows with a local administrator account, disable every firewall, antivirus and defending software and start AutoCAD then The program opens but all the attributes seem to have disappeared from the ribbons and pallets. I am a retired Landscape Architect who uses cad to further develope plans. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities.

Back to Topic Listing Previous Next. Grid On. Turns the grid on or off. Grid Spacing. Controls the display of a grid that helps you visualize distances. Specifies the grid spacing in the X direction.

If this value is 0, the grid assumes the value set for Snap X Spacing. Specifies the grid spacing in the Y direction. If this value is 0, the grid assumes the value set for Snap Y Spacing. Specifies the frequency of major grid lines compared to minor grid lines. Grid Behavior. Limits the density of the grid when zoomed out. Allow Subdivision Below Grid Spacing:. Generates additional, more closely spaced grid lines when zoomed in. The frequency of these grid lines is determined by the frequency of the major grid lines.

Controls the AutoTrack settings. Polar Tracking On. Turns polar tracking on and off. Polar Angle Settings. Sets the alignment angles for polar tracking. Sets the polar increment angle used to display polar tracking alignment paths.

You can enter any angle, or select a common angle of 90, 45, 30, Makes any additional angles in the list available for polar tracking. If Additional Angles is selected, lists the additional angles that are available. To add new angles, click New. To remove existing angles, click Delete. Adds up to 10 additional polar tracking alignment angles. Deletes selected additional angles. Object Snap Tracking Settings. Sets options for object snap tracking. Applies polar tracking settings to object snap tracking.

When you use object snap tracking, the cursor tracks along polar alignment angles from acquired object snap points. Polar Angle Measurement. Sets the basis by which polar tracking alignment angles are measured. Bases polar tracking angles on the current user coordinate system UCS. Bases polar tracking angles on the last segment drawn. Controls running object snap settings. With running object snap settings, also called Osnap, you can specify a snap point at an exact location on an object.

When more than one option is selected, the selected snap modes are applied to return a point closest to the center of the aperture box.

Press TAB to cycle through the options. Object Snap On. Turns running object snaps on and off. The object snaps selected under Object Snap Modes are active while object snap is on. Object Snap Tracking On. Turns object snap tracking on and off. With object snap tracking, the cursor can track along alignment paths based on other object snap points when specifying points in a command.

To use object snap tracking, you must turn on one or more object snaps. Object Snap Modes. Lists object snaps that you can turn on as running object snaps. Snaps to the closest endpoint of an arc, elliptical arc, line, multiline, polyline segment, spline, region, or ray, or to the closest corner of a trace, solid, or 3D face. Snaps to the midpoint of an arc, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, polyline segment, region, solid, spline, or xline. Snaps to the center of an arc, circle, ellipse, or elliptical arc.

Snaps to a point object, dimension definition point, or dimension text origin. Snaps to a quadrant point of an arc, circle, ellipse, or elliptical arc. Snaps to the intersection of an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, polyline, ray, region, spline, or xline. Extended Intersection is not available as a running object snap.

Intersection and Extended Intersection do not work with edges or corners of 3D solids. Causes a temporary extension line or arc to be displayed when you pass the cursor over the endpoint of objects, so you can specify points on the extension. Snaps to the insertion point of an attribute, a block, a shape, or text. Snaps to a point perpendicular to an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, polyline, ray, region, solid, spline, or xline. Deferred Perpendicular snap mode is automatically turned on when the object you are drawing requires that you complete more than one perpendicular snap.

You can use a line, arc, circle, polyline, ray, xline, multiline, or 3D solid edge as an object from which to draw a perpendicular line. You can use Deferred Perpendicular to draw perpendicular lines between such objects. When the aperture box passes over a Deferred Perpendicular snap point, an AutoSnap tooltip and marker are displayed. Snaps to the tangent of an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, or spline. Deferred Tangent snap mode is automatically turned on when the object you are drawing requires that you complete more than one tangent snap.

You can use Deferred Tangent to draw a line or xline that is tangent to arcs, polyline arcs, or circles. When the aperture box passes over a Deferred Tangent snap point, a marker and an AutoSnap tooltip are displayed.

Snaps to the nearest point on an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, point, polyline, ray, spline, or xline. Snaps to the visual intersection of two objects that are not in the same plane but may appear to intersect in the current view.

Extended Apparent Intersection is not available as a running object snap. Apparent and Extended Apparent Intersection do not work with edges or corners of 3D solids. Constrains a line segment, polyline segment, ray or xline to be parallel to another linear object. After you specify the first point of a linear object, specify the parallel object snap.

Unlike other object snap modes, you move the cursor and hover over another linear object until the angle is acquired. Then, move the cursor back toward the object that you are creating. When the path of the object is parallel to the previous linear object, an alignment path is displayed, which you can use to create the parallel object. Turns on all object snap modes. Turns off all object snap modes.

Controls pointer input, dimension input, dynamic prompting, and the appearance of drafting tooltips. Enable Pointer Input. Turns on pointer input. When pointer input and dimensional input are both turned on, dimensional input supersedes pointer input when it is available. Pointer Input. Displays the location of the crosshairs as coordinate values in a tooltip near the cursor. When a command prompts you for a point, you can enter coordinate values in the tooltip instead of in the Command window.

Shows an example of pointer input. Displays the Pointer Input Settings dialog box. Enable Dimension Input. Turns on dimensional input. Dimensional input is not available for some commands that prompt for a second point.

Dimension Input. Displays a dimension with tooltips for distance value and angle value when a command prompts you for a second point or a distance. The values in the dimension tooltips change as you move the cursor.

You can enter values in the tooltip instead of on the command line. Shows an example of dimensional input. Displays the Dimension Input Settings dialog box.
