‘PRESELECTIONEFFECT’ (Controls the highlighting of lines when you hover over them) 1= ON 0 = OFF You can control the selection highlighting effects by typing the following commands at the command line: Note: You may need to re-start AutoCAD to see the result of adjusting these variables. I noticed that the new graphic acceleration options in AutoCAD 2015 slow down some of our users machines who don’t have dedicated graphics cards. However, after a while – they just gave me a head ache! The new ‘Luminescent’ selection effects in AutoCAD 2015 look really cool.
#AUTOCAD RIGHT CLICK OPTIONS PDF#
To get this set up go to:Ĭlick on the ‘Settings’ button to create single sheet files and turn off layers in the exported PDF I use PDF export a lot (When I don’t need to batch publish!). Right click over viewcube and choose ViewCube Settings:Ĭhange the size to ‘Small’ and the Inactive Opacity to 0% I prefer to set it to a smaller size and turn the inactive capacity right down, so that it only appears when I hover over it. I don’t do any 3D in AutoCAD, and I don’t use the view cube much. Right click in the layout tab area to push them up above the Status bar and give them more room to breathe! The new, clean user interface for AutoCAD 2015 doesn’t leave much room for layout tabs. To turn off Automatic column text go to In the MTEXT editor and select > Columns > No columns One day I will want to type a whole load of text in AutoCAD and have it neatly set out in columns. Type it at the command line to change it. When I set Mtext to centre justified, I like the grip handles to size the Mtext width equally on both sides.ĬENTREMT controls this. You can add them up to combine properties. Type FIELDEVAL at the command line to change the behaviour. We use fields and the Sheet set manager extensively – so it is important that information in block attributes with fields are current. I don’t know why this was turned off when I booted AutoCAD 2015 for the first time? FIELDEVAL controls whether values in fields are updated when re-gen’ing. I use Polar tracking and object snap tracking a lot, and I like to set it to 45° increments.Ĭlick on the drop down arrow next to the polar tracking icon in the status bar and pick your preference. We all have our own favourite OSNAP setting – here are mine. Look under double click actions > Attribute block > edit attributeĬhange the command from ‘EATTEDIT’ to ‘ATTEDIT’īonus Tip: Can you believe that I’ve been using AutoCAD for ten years and I only just noticed that you can fill out block attributes from the properties palette! OSNAPS Type ‘CUI’ at the command line and hit enter. Give me the plain old fashioned block attribute manager any day! I’m not a big fan of the advanced attribute manager when I’m filling out title blocks. I don’t mind this, AutoCAD is still waaay quicker at plotting than I am!īig Red A > Options > Plot and Publish > Back ground processing options If you turn Back ground plotting off, you will have to wait for AutoCAD top open and plot each layout in turn. I haven’t experienced to many problems with batch publishing – but when I have Background publish appears to be the culprit. We currently use AutoCAD 2007 file format without too many complaints!īackground plotting allows you to continue working while you batch publish plots in the background. We share a lot of files with customers, partners and subcontractors.
Here are twelve settings that I just had to change in AutoCAD 2015 before I could get productive! File format But there are some AutoCAD settings that I’m just used to. I love getting my hands on the latest technology.
