Zoom in and out by rotating the wheel, direct where you are zooming by placement of the crosshairs, hold the wheel down to Pan and double-click the wheel to do a Zoom Extents. What about using the Zoom command? I encounter many students who do not know how to use the wheel to zoom. It is very easy to do with the Express Tools. Learn the command aliases and even customize your acad.pgp file to suit your needs. Sure it only saves 3 keystrokes (Only?) but multiply that by hundreds throughout your day. Instead of typing “LINE”, type “L” and tap the “Spacebar” to enter. If you are going to type your commands (I do frequently) at least use a command alias. I see this frequently while teaching and visiting client sites. I wish I could say this is the first time I had seen this in my class but it’s not. Now keep in mind this gentleman had been using Autodesk for 10+ years. He moved is mouse to the Ribbon and fishes for the “ZOOM WINDOW” command. He drew the line and then I told him to zoom in on it. With his left hand on the keyboard and his right hand on the mouse he typed “LINE” and hit the “ENTER” key.
I was helping one student and I told him to start the line command. Recently I was teaching an “Advanced” class with students that have been using Autodesk software for years. So there you have it everyone.Warning: The following blog contains my ranting for today So MacGyverish! Check out the pics below: Lastly, I received some pictures from a fellow user who has solved the F1 problem I mentioned earlier this week a slightly different way - he customized a water bottle cap to protect it from accidental selection. Yes that's right, Tooltip controls the size of the fonts on your Tool Palette - go figure! After you've set it to the desired size select OK and check it out in AutoCAD. Drop the Item list down as seen in the picture below and select Tooltip from the list. Go to the Appearance tab and select the Advanced button.
Recap: Right Click on your desktop and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
So first of all, it's not controlled inside of 's also controlled in the Display Properties dialog box. I should have mentioned it on Tuesday when I was talking about changing the size of your various fonts.ĪutoCAD Hip Tip to change the size of the Tool Palette Fonts:
My good buddy dave espinosa-aguilar (all lower-case) reminded me about the bizarre display setting that controls the text size on your AutoCAD Tool Palettes. Second of all, I realized that though I told you how to switch the AutoCAD MTEXT editor back to AutoCAD 2005, I didn't tell you how to reverse this setting and get it back to AutoCAD 2006! Simply set the system variable MTEXTED to INTERNAL. Mark is one of our top rated speakers at Autodesk University (have you signed up yet?). I pulled it up today and already nabbed a valuable tip to add to my repertoire. First of all I'd like to recognize a fellow blogger, Mark Kiker, and his CADD Manager Blog.
