AutoCAD 2007 and higher versions

Hello Dailyautocad readers,

One of the features that will improve your productivity in AutoCAD is using editing functions more efficiently. In near future, we are planning to write more about editing commands and achieving them under AutoCAD lessons title. However, before learning editing commands in detail, it is more important to learn how to efficiently select the entities over which editing will be made. My 18 year experience in AutoCAD, says that first step of using editing commands efficiently is good knowledge of selecting entities.

Dear Bloggers,

All AutoLISP versions

Hi to all,

Since this is my fist article on this site, I want to share a LISP, which I have created in the very beginning of my AutoCAD history. The aim of the program is to search a defined area and perform mathematical operations in the found text objects with number entries. I have written this program because I have had to change lots of elevation entries since the datum is set wrong. Since chancing them one by one means a serious time, it helped me a lot. I hope it will help you too.

Hi,

Dear Bloggers,

We have to use 2D POLYLINE especially when modeling in 3D and using EXTRUDE command. But most of the time, that fact is forgotten and we still use two dimensional lines and arcs. On the other hand, we are very aware of it sometimes and we first draw decorative objects using ARC-ARC continuity and then transform it into a PLOYLINE to send it to the CNC. PEDIT command is designed for these kinds of situations.

Autocad R8 (2.8) and higher versions

Those who make drawing in 3D by AutoCAD may want to rotate objects also out of Z axis. Most of us try to do this by changing UCS. However, it is a very laborious work to change UCS first and then use ROTATE command and change UCS back to its original. For this reason, AutoCAD introduced a new command named as ROTATE3D. Now, let’s take a close look at this command together Read the rest of this entry »
