Isometric Dimensioning
Edit Drawings Online using AutoCAD WS
The not so latest innovation on AutoCAD today that I just recently discovered is, the AutoCAD WS. This version of AutoCAD allows the user to open and edit any dwg files using just an internet browser and from any computer even without the actual software installed. AutoCAD WS, can also be use with any android mobile, Iphone, ipad and Ipod touch.
How to Disable the Creation of BAK file
By default AutoCAD, creates a back up copy of the drawing every time you save or save as either with the current drawing name or with another name. Every update you’ve done, AutoCAD updates the back up files at the same time.
The Case of the Invisible Point Symbol
Why is it in my drawing the Point symbol is not visible? but when I open the other drawing the Point Symbol is visible?. That is the question thrown at me by my colleagues while doing her assigned task.
How to Place a Text in an Arc
How to write a text around a circle? that was the question that I have received in one of the yahoo groups that I recently joined. I have been doing AutoCAD works for 14 years and counting, but I have not known yet if there is a command regarding, writing a text in a circle.
How to Draw a Straight Angular Line
Normally in AutoCAD you can only draw two types of straight lines, one is vertical line, the other is horizontal line, provided you’re working on ortho on mode. However you can always draw a straight angular line by turning your cursor to ortho off mode. But inspite of this, you cannot specify the exact angle of the line you’re going to draw.
Using TEXTFILL
Have you sometimes encountered a scenario, when you plot your drawing then the TEXT in your drawing appeared only as an outline? (Fig.1) but if you look at it in AutoCAD it is appear as normal filled text. This happen specially if you are using the ARIAL type kind of fonts.

Text Under the Dimension Line
How do you put a text under a dimension line? No, I’m not talking about literally putting a Text under a dimension line using the command Text or Mtext then putting it under the dimension line manually. What I’m talking about is how are you going to a put Text under a dimension line automatically, without doing any command other than DIMEDIT or Edit.
Underlining a Text in AutoCAD
Sometimes putting a mark or putting a note in our drawing is necessary, specially if you want to specify something, then highlighting it, in order to notice it easily. In my case, whenever this kind of scenarios arises, I always put an Underline and OverLine on my Text or Mtext, as a highlighter, making it easier to caught the readers of my drawing’s attention.
