Click once in the screen menu area - this sets the cursor "focus"
click a second time on the menu item you are interested in.
This works for me anyway.

Tom,
If you are using the "WHIP" driver under "config" video driver you
have the option of selecting or deselecting "automatically repair

Hi David,
In r12, when a drawing calls for that a XREF that can not be found, a BLOCK is inserted at 
the XREF's insertion point, it looks like text on the "0" layer.  The SCALE of the BLOCK is 
the scale of the XREF.  Before you can reattach the XREF, you must delete the BLOCK.   I 
hope they r13 works the same way. 
I wrote a program to reattach XREF's but it is based on some very strict rules.  The program 
identifies the BLOCK(s) thar are not resolved and updates them.  After using the program, 
you must re-open the drawing.  AutoCAD dosn't know the XREF is there. :)))
I use this program for reattaching Title Block XREF's when moving the drawings from my DOS 
machine to the Windows machine.

Yes it is possible, I've just created my first custom linetype today!!
You need to create a shape file for the arcs ".shp".  This involves coding
the definition using an ascii text editor (not exactly inuitive).  You then
have to compile this file using the COMPILE command in autocad.
This new shape file ".shx" can now be included in a linetype difinition
file ".lin" which can then be loaded, and the linetype used.

ABACUS have  a shareware routine that goes through all xref's and strip
the path from the xref's for export to another company. The routine
copies all nescessary drawings and strip the paths on the copied
drawings, so the original drawings are untouched. It can handle nested
xref's and differ between overlays and attached xref's. It also allows
nested paths and solves filename collisions.
Price $30 ex. vat.

Subject: Announcement: FME Universal Spatial Data Translator Now Shipping
From: "Dale A. Lutz"
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 12:32:49 -0800
Safe Software Inc. is pleased to announce that its universal spatial
data translator product -- the Feature Manipulation Engine (FME)(tm) --
is now shipping.  
The FME is a powerful, configurable, peer-to-peer spatial data translator
which allows sophisticated spatial processing and attribute manipulation
during translation between:
     o  MapInfo MID/MIF
     o  IGDS/Microstation Design Files
     o  AutoCAD DXF/DWG (up to and including R13)
     o  ESRI Shape
     o  ESRI Generate/Ungenerate
     o  ESRI Spatial Database Engine
     o  GIF (Image Output Only)
     o  Spatial Archive and Interchange Format (SAIF)
     o  BC MOEP
     o  CSV, DBF, Column Aligned Text Database Formats
More formats are being added all the time, and a developer kit is planned
for mid '97 to allow sophisticated users to "roll-their-own".
The FME ships with a variety of generic configurations that will solve
most user's translation needs with a simple point and click.  However,
advanced users are able to take the FME beyond its generic translation
capabilities by configuring the FME for custom translations through its
editable ASCII control file.  The FME can be set up to extract and output
data in EXACTLY the way you want.  Part of the power comes from FME's
ability to apply a variety of operations to data as it is translated.
In fact, there is no need for the source and destination formats to be
different -- the FME can be used to accomplish transformations which
would otherwise be difficult or awkward to do within many traditional
GIS systems.  Available operations include:
    o COORDINATE CONVERSIONS: Convert between over 600 coordainte systems,
      130 datums, and 37 referenced ellipsoids.  If these aren't sufficient
      then the FME allows you to define your own!
    o TOPOLOGY OPERATIONS: Remove duplicate arcs, connect arcs, form
      polygons, or dissolve polygons on the fly.
    o ATTRIBUTE OPERATIONS: Read or write feature attributes from/to
      DBF or ASCII files, or live databases (contact Safe Software for
      availability).  Both 1-1 and 1-Many relations are supported.
    o GEOMETRIC OPERATIONS: Purge area features less than some threshold
      size, generalize area, and line features. Calculate Area() and
      Lengths()
The FME provides a single universal spatial data solution, removing the
need for separate translation programs to be purchased and maintained for
each translation.  The product is stable, and has been available to 
selected customers for more than a year now.  But don't take our word
for it -- here's what some of our early adopters are saying:
    "Because many FME operations perform so much faster and more simply
    than with conventional software, very complex manipulations can be
    run routinely.  Two reasons for its overall power are (i) a clever,
    readily extensible systems architecture, and (ii) a high degree of
    compliance with geographic modeling concepts emerging from national
    and international standardization efforts."
    Mark Sondheim, PH. D.,
    Head, Strategic Developments
    Geographic Data BC, Province of BC
    "The FME's powerful configurability allows us to construct solutions
    to problems in minutes rather than days.  We no longer find ourselves
    writing C code to move our Intergraph data around -- instead we just
    whip up a new configuration and move on to actually using the data,
    as opposed to fighting with it."
    Dave Ash
    Senior Technical Analyst
    Vivid Solutions Inc. 
    Victoria, B.C.
    "Safe Software provides a fast and easy to use translation application
    with diverse functionality that is directly controlled through
    a script file.  A responsive product support staff helped us to
    customize our output to suite our customer's needs."
    Ernie Pacholuk,
    Madrone Consultants Ltd.
    Duncan, B.C.
The FME is available for Windows NT/95, and a multi-user server
version is available for Solaris, DEC Alpha, and other UNIX systems.

Subject: Microstation to AutoCAD, can you do this?
From: adrianjl@aol.com

Hello everyone,
A customer of ours wants to do the following:
He has 800 Microstation drawings that with parts list, and wants the
information in the parts list information extracted to a searchable
database.  We don't have Microstation, only AutoCAD R13, so I was
wondering if there is any way that we can import those drawings in
AutoCAD, and export the parts list info to some some kind of text or data
base file that can be searched.  This is a whole new area to me, and I am
not even sure how you would convert Microstation drawings to AutoCAD, but
I would appreciate any info you all can give me.  If you don't mind I
would appreciate an e-mail from anyone who know about this stuff.  Like I
said, this is really something new to me, but i'm always willing to learn.
Thanks in Advance,

Maybe it's a generational/geographical thing.  I'm 35, and in all my
time in the workplaces, and all the places I've worked, Drafter and
Designer are the standard terms, even by the Old Guard guys, who are
traditionally sexist in every other way.

Although Norton's FileFind is better, easier, and faster, if you don't
have it, you can still use the DOS command FIND in recent versions of

I never thought of myself as an "elder' as Morton made reference in
another post but with 25 yrs cartooning experience maybe I'm
approaching that threshold. Is the "magic'" age 45 ? I'll be 44
in two weeks so another year and I can relax.
In all seriousness now - speaking for myself I have gotten lazy in the
last several years but it occurs to me I work very hard at being lazy.
The work I conduct involves quite a bit of "mindwork", the drafting
process is merely documenting my thoughts and ideas for communicating
to others and as such is now boring and distracting. The thing that
trips my trigger is developing methods and techniques that streamline
this process.
Learning AutoLISP programming has been a fun adventure and creating
programs and routines to automate the drafting (& design) chore has
been highly rewarding. Being self employed allows me the luxury of
taking the time to thoroughly examine the process. Having a vast
amount of experience helps but the greatest asset I possess is an
active mind. While the (seemingly) majority of cad people choose to
use cad as an electronic drawing board I choose to use it as a
three-dimensional extension of my mind.
Well that's getting a little off the subject but the point I'm
attempting to make is this....
uhh I forgot! (just part of the aging process)

I agree!!  I am a feMALE studying at Purdue University for Mechanical 
Drafting and Computer Animation...  I think that we all need to get real 
and stop worrying about whether someone calls use draftsMEN or 
whatever!!!  MAN has been used to refer to both men and woMEN for 
centuries, and it is definitely "too much time on our hands" that has 
caused us to worry about such minor things.  I am a woMAN and proud of 
it.  I am not weak because I am feMALE, but I don't have to have the 
English language changed in order to prove that!!!!
Get on with something that is important in life and get over this 
feminist attitude.  People like you ruin being a woMAN for people who are 
proud to be one!

Subject: Can anyone identify the file type?
From: "David E. Gonsalves"
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 23:44:16 GMT
This is a file emailed to me from our local county, it was supposed to be
an AutoCAD drawing, I haven't seen this type of file before, have any of
you?  Sorry for the size, thanks for any light you might be able to shed
for me.
David E. Gonsalves, LSIT
delliottg@olywa.net

Attached is digital version of well map.  Hope it makes it through and is
useable.  We are catching TIm Tayne, our groundwater data/mapping
guru, in the final hours of employment here at the County so has time to
manipulate this map is extremely limited.
Call me at 357-2491 if any questions.

Hello and thanks for reading!
My problem is like that:
After updating from WIN3.11 to WIN95 Autocad can�t work with
the Standard-Wintab driver.
Are there any setting to this driver that must be configured
or is it impossible to work with the Wintabdriver in WIN95?
Please respond to:

Is there a lisp routine or other method to basically lock dimensions
in place.  I would like to keep them from changing once I define the tols.
etc.  As it is, if I use mirror, grips, etc. -  the dims are updated to
the most recent settings.  I know I can use styles but I find that very
tedius as I may need a different style for virtually every dim.

Subject: How Do I Draw A Spoon In 3D?
From: Jesse Hall
Date: 14 Nov 1996 23:39:51 GMT
I have a machine part to draw that is shaped very similar to a large 
tea spoon. I need multiple views of this part because of the different 
radii and concave shape, and the best way I can think of doing it would 
be to do it in 3D.
 While I am proficient in 2D drawings, I am still quite the rookie in 3D. 
Any advise, tips, or shortcuts would be greatly appreciated. 
 Thanks in advance.

One question:
Is it possible to display lines (Monitor: 72 dpi) in the
width they would appear on a plot (Plotter: 600 dpi)?
If it isn't possible: WHY DO WE HAVE TO SEE LINE WIDTHS !!!

Subject: Lisp Files updated !! is web site ok ???
From: Desi Moreno
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 16:08:55 -0800
For those of you who have downloaded some of my lisp files from my web
site, you might want to grab an updated version.  Here's why. . .
I have had some problems when canceling out of these commands.  The
problem was the names of my variable(s).  One in Particular "type".
It seems AutoCAD uses this variable as well.  And when canceling out of
the commands, that variable was still changed.
I fixed this, so now, it should all be working fine.
I also Fixed the "chgstyl"  it now works fine.
As a reminder here is the site
DESMOS
one Question to all
what's the policy of trend on posting my web site every month (once a
month only) ??

I have not tried this myself but I do recall some similar
queries/responses to the newsgroup not too long ago indicating that
Excel Charts etc. will only reproduce if the plot device selected is the
Windows System Printer.

  you can use the nt3.51 drivers.  go to 
http://www.calcomp.com
i believe there is no major difference between drivers
of nt4 and nt3.51, in the sense that the kernel architecture
did not change much.

It's been a while since I had this type of problem ...
but *I think* that if AutoCad cannot find the XREF on the path it
expects to, it then will search the current directory and then the
AutoCad path.
If all you want to do is get the XREFs to load properly ... I would try
putting the XREFs in the same directory as the drawing in which they are
referenced.
Not *exactly* an answer to your question ...

Subject: R13 student version from Addison-Wesley
From: Heska
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 17:49:23 -0700
"The Autodesk Collection" based on R13 is now available.
It's for sale to students or faculty/staff only and costs
$350.  For that you get R13 and Autovision 2.0.
Here's my question:  is R13 much better than R12?  I'm tempted
to buy it because installing the previous "Autodesk Collection"
on Windows 95 is really horrific.  But, the old/R12 version
costs only $250, and it is possible to get it to work on
Windows 95.
Can anyone point me to a discussion of the relative merits
of R13 vs. R12?  The only posting I see here in the group
strongly condemns R13 and implies that R12 is better.
Thank you!
Incidentally, "The Autodesk Collection" is published by
Addison-Wesley, and is typically available through
university bookstores.  They do demand good proof that
you're a full-time student in a degree-earning program,

Subject: HELP-non-alphabetical layers listing
From: rider@freemark.com (Rider)
Date: 15 Nov 1996 01:30:14 GMT
	Sometimes my layers are listed non-alphabetically in the
DDLMODE dialog box. This only happens on my Pentium machines. I am
running r12c2 for DOS under Windows 95 from the DOS mode. Does
anyone have an explanation or a fix for this?
Thanks,

I seem to recall there being problems with the DXFOUT when r13 was first
released.  This may have just been the compatibility with previous
releases.  I know there is a DXF Fix utility on the AutoDesk Web site
(DXFX13.EXE is the file name I have) which will create an release 12 (or
lower) compatible DXF file from a release 13 DXF file.  You don't
mention what patch of r13 you are using but it may be that this problem
was rectified with a more recent patch (just a guess).
And just a thought - are you sure that you are creating the DXF file
correctly? (perhaps you are not in the correct space or the entities are
not being selected correctly).  You should look at the file with a text
editor and see if there is anything listed in the ENTITIES section
(there should be).
I am uncertain what you mean when you say you cannot take the DXF file
back into AutoCad.  Does it bomb (giving an error such as "block x
undefined")?  Try creating a new drawing with no prototype and then
import the DXF file.  If that doesn't work then you really do have a
screwed up DXF file.

Subject: Re: XREF path question
From: "George S. Phoenix, III"
Date: 15 Nov 1996 02:17:17 GMT
Try the following:
1. Copy all of the Xref'd dwgs to the same directory as the 'main' dwg.
2. In the main dwg, one at a time, change the Xref's path to ONLY THE NAME
OF THE    XREF. (e.g. xref name: plan1; path: c:\dwg\plan1.dwg.... change
path to: plan1)
3. After all paths have been changed, if the Xrefs don't appear, save and
reopen the dwg.
I hope this works.

You may be able to print directly to a device on another computer - I am
not sure.  You will likely be better off using the plot spooling feature
of AutoCad. This is documented in an article available on the AutoDesk
Web site - http://www.autodesk.com (I'd tell where but I can't connect
to the site right now).
The essence of the spooler feature is that you plot to a file -- created
for the particular output device -- and then it is automatically copied
by the AutoCad spooler (in binary mode) to the plotter - wherever that
plotter may be.
Once you have this set up your autospool batch file will contain a line
such as this:
copy %1 /b \\KELLER\ENCAD > nul
where %1 is the name of the plot file that the spooler has created.
If you want to check this out before you set up the Autospool feature
then plot a drawing to a file and then (from an DOS window) execute the
copy command as shown above (substituing the name of your plot file for
%1).

The variable MAXSORT controls how many layer names are to be sorted
alphabetically. It is set to 200 as a default so therefore if you have less
than 200 layers they will be alphabetically sorted otherwise they will be
jumbled.  The trade-off is that the higher the setting for maxsort the
longer it takes Autocad to list all of the layer names in the dialog box.

Casey,
  There is no such thing as an AutoLisp compiler.  The interpreter is
AutoCAD itself, nothing else could read an autolisp file.  There is an
encrypter that allows you to encode your lisp files so that no else can
edit them.  But there is no Compiler

BTW,  It WAS slow for us to but that was just windows 3.1.  Once we went NT it was fast

I needed to explode the attributed block so that when I translated it to 
Microstation I could manipulate the text (ie text width, font, etc...). Thanks 
to all who replied - I have a few routines that have done the trick and saved 
me quite a bit of time.
