What version of AutoCAD are you running. You can either use plotstamp feature (2004 or later) and have just the system date show or in 2006 and later you can use fields. Have you heard of either?

When I have run across this issue, I know you mentioned you did an audit, but have you done a recovery (goes much deeper). Then I have always been able to bind the xref with no problem. Here is a specific link...

I have never experienced this error before, but just out of curiosity what were the exact values entered? There is a system variable called DIMDSEP. If you accidently specify a comma instead of a perdiod as a decimal seperator, you can get this error. I can say this for certain, that the...

For starters, does your machine meet the minimum system requirements for AutoCAD 2006? If it does, then the next step would be to try to attempt an installation when the antivius is disabled. I have personally seen when AutoCAD has failed to respond because of this very issue. In fact its a...

Just in case CarlAK's suggestion didnt do what you were seeking even though I am sure his suggestion is correct, you can try the system variable MTEXTED MTEXTED Sets the primary and secondary text editors to use for multiline text objects. The default setting is Internal, which calls the...

I believe the command you are looking for is STYLESMANAGER. This launches the folder where the CTB's are stored for the current profile/workspace. Hope this helps.

The network capability that you are seeking is still not available in AutoCAD LT, of any version, to include 2007 I'm afraid.

Let me preface my opinion with saying I am instructor and teach people both basic and advanced features of Autodesk products. I have seen a vast amount of different training books. In my opinion I think the help file is far superior to any book you can buy. For example in the Help menu (F1)...

My apologies that my suggestions haven't proved sucessful for you. These have worked for me. The only thng I noted that was different between both our experiences, is that I have never used the free pdf writer. It has always been Adobe. I will try and see if there are any other possible...

Hmm thats odd? The area I had you change for the plot dilaog box in the properties of the PDF writer was correct. If you changed it from vector to raster and you are still having issues then it is something very simple Here are a couple of things you can try. -Is the frame for the wipeout on...

I am almost positive you can't do what you are asking, the CTRL++ anyways like you would find in Photoshop. You may already know this but, whenever you specify an override (accelerator key), you typically first input either CTRL or SHIFT, then a + sign automatically gets entered and then the...

The problem is under the properties of the pdf in AutoCAD. I am not exactly sure of the tab but you need to change the default setting from vector to raster. This has resolved this very issue for me on several occasions.

By default there isn't. If you have AutoCAD 2006 you can easily create a keyboard shortcut through your CUI for date. (type cui in the command line). Expand the heading for keyboard shortcuts. You could create an alias in the express pulldown menu. The tool is called Command Alias Editor...

Here is an idea after talking with an associate of mine 1. You can set a pt move parameter set in the node (or center)of the plate. 2. Associate the point move parameter with the node. 3. Redefine the stretch action to include the point move parameter. 4. Click on the point move parameter and...

So you would still place a linear parameter on the X and then the Y, and set a stretch action. Or a XY stretch box parameter set . On each of the properties of the linear dimensions you could enter the several different values. Left click on whichever grip you want and type one of the values...

So if I understand you correctly, you have the different sizes of blocks, but you want to access these different size plates? First of all this ISN'T a super-easy process and I can describe one process. Double click on the existing block, Edit Block Definition dialog box comes up. make sure...

DO NOT double click on the viewport in 2006. This maximizes the viewport. If you have double clicked on the viewport you will see a red box around your drawing. There is a buton on the status bar (to the right of Othro, Snap, Polar)to come out of Max viewport. There is a much easier way than...

I want to start off by apologizing to Tcarpenter. IT IS possible to plot without the prefix or filename when using publish within sheet set manager from version 2005 & 2006. If you were to plot several sheets in the publish dialog box, as the link says, you are somewhat stuck with the naming...

In version 2006, right click on any icon on one of the visible toolbars. A list of toolbars should pop up with check marks next to the ones that are currently visible. The ones that aren't checked are off. While that list is still up, left click next to the layers toolbar. If it is a version...

Ok. I understand. For the next time, you may try instead of reinstall is a repair. Go to add/remove programs select Autocad and select change Select reinstall or repair select repair errors or repair registry And follow the rest of the instructions
