Bruce,
You are quite right in telling that (ai_propchk) is defined as a Lisp
command and therefore can not be repeated using RETURN Key. But in AutoCAD
R13C3 version (ai_propchk) has been defined as lisp function,In R13c4
it has been made as a command.So if you are using a old menu file the
modify as follows
c^c^(ai_propchk)
change to
c^c^ai_propchk

Mel Corley,
First you check the Acadr12.bat file and see if the Path is set correctly
or not as specified in Installation Guide and correct it.
Then check whether the file ACAD.mnx is present in Support directory
or not, if not then reload the AutoCAD.
Check whether you have given proper Read , write and Share rights to
these files.
In case of a lock file created then delete the Acad.Mxk file you can find
it in the support directory.

Just make sure that the file does not exist when out of AutoCAD. I
recently had a client who could not do an autosave if the program was
started in a particular directory. It turned out that the AUTO.SV$
file had somehow been made read-only and hidden. Once that was taken
care of all worked.

There is nothing to worry about.The problem you are getting is nothing
to do with the Autodesk collection.
The problem is that you have not loaded the DOS drivers for the CDROM.
Instead use the Windows95 itself to install the softwares.Just goto the
MSDOS SHELL and run the CD.
If you have the drivers for the CDROM then load it also.Then in that
case you can use the CD after rebooting the system in the MS DOS mode.
This was the reason you were getting the MSCDEX.EXE not found message.
Regarding the mouse again load the MOUSE.COM file in the autoexec.bat
file like
c:\mouse\mouse.com
Then restart your system.If the Autoexec.bat is not available then you
have to create one.
Let me know if you have any problems.

This indicate that the lines are not end to end.Use the OSNAP 's (end of)

whether the lines are joined. If not , I would like to see the drawing.

I would suggest you to take a look at the Autodesk web site on the

There is no direct routine available to do this.However , I have seen
one routine called as Zoom2txt.lsp in the Jeff Foster web site.This will
allow you to search the text specified in the drawing and zoom around it.
I think you can modify the routine to your needs.Get also the permission
of the author to do this or just develop one similar routine instead.

This symptom can be caused a several things.
If this is a Summa dig using a wintab, make sure you have the latest driver
for Windows 95 and NT (Tablet Drivers Version 2.1). For
another device it's still a good idea to check with the manufacturer for
the latest driver. Find out what other programs are running. For example,
MS Plus (a task scheduler) may cause this type of problem. Also examine the
ports settings for the com port the digitizer is connected to. If you need
help, post another message and we'll go from there.

Mark,
The DISPLAY of SOLIDS in R13 are controlled by three variables
DISPSILH
ISOLINES
FACETRES
Try to have a combination of these and it should solve the problem.
For me the plotting comes fine. Select the Viewports one at a time and
see whether it comes fine.Also switch on the HIDE LINES toggle in the
PLOT dialog box.

Tim,
I feel that the toolbar is hidden in some corner of your display.Just drag
all the toolbars and see whether you find it.
Goto the Tools Pull down menu and click on the Customise Menus and
then UNLOAD the RTPANZM menu. Now reload it . Now see what happens.

Michael,
I did the same steps as mentioned by you.I opened 6 sessions of R13c4 in
Windows 95 . But it didn't come up.What is your system setup.Can you say
that.How much is your permanent swap file size and RAM.
Meanwhile I will also look into other possibilities.

Well, I'm no expert on the internal workings of AutoLisp, but I doubt that
it creates a new stack for each funtion call. My main reason for making
functions local is to decrease global clutter (ie. only define the function
when it's needed). There are some tradeoffs, in that slightly more memory is
used at runtime with a local function, but that memory is freed once the local
function goes out of scope.

Call for Papers
1997 International Symposium on Physical Design
April 14-16, 1997
Napa Valley, California
Sponsored by the ACM SIGDA in cooperation with
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society
The International Symposium on Physical Design provides a forum to
exchange ideas and promote research on critical areas related to the
physical design of VLSI systems. All aspects of physical design, from
interactions with behavior- and logic-level synthesis, to back-end
performance analysis and verification, are within the scope of the
Symposium. Target domains include semi-custom and full-custom IC, MCM
and FPGA based systems.
The Symposium is an outgrowth of the ACM/SIGDA Physical Design
Workshop. Following its five predecessors, the symposium will
highlight key new directions and leading-edge theoretical and
experimental contributions to the field. Accepted papers will be
published by ACM Press in the Symposium proceedings. Topics of
interest include but are not limited to:
1. Management of design data and constraints
2. Interactions with behavior-level synthesis flows
3. Interactions with logic-level (re-)synthesis flows
4. Analysis and management of power dissipation
5. Techniques for high-performance design
6. Floorplanning and building-block assembly
7. Estimation and point-tool modeling
8. Partitioning, placement and routing
9. Special structures for clock, power, or test
10. Compaction and layout verification
11. Performance analysis and physical verification
12. Physical design for manufacturability and yield
13. Mixed-signal and system-level issues.
IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: December 20, 1996
Acceptance notification: February 1, 1997
Camera-ready (6 page limit) due: March 1, 1997

Please don't give out incorrect information regarding the replacement cost
of lost or stolen hardware locks. Simon, contact your AutoCAD dealer and
tell them of your problem. Autodesk will replace your stolen hardware lock
for a fee, but they will require a letter from you, on company stationary,
stating what happened.
Best of luck with your replacement.
Regards,
Dave
