1. Circle in the graphics shows polygon

People who regular to draw graphics will have such an experience, the painted circle is not round, into a polygon.

Computer screen do not know the round, CAD-round polygon, said polygon shown in the number of edges depends on the size of the circle in the current figure, as well as circle and arc smoothing degree: viewres, parameter settings. CAD will automatically calculate the circle displayed in the most appropriate number of edges. Viewres variable is set too low, or round a sudden is magnified many times, the circle will appear as obvious polygons. If the graphic is the Debu round amplified directly enter the RE command to re-draw a circle on the view will be rounded, if the size of the circle shows the right, still shows the polygon, the viewres parameters can be set a little larger, and then RE .

The Viewres variables can also be set in the Options dialog box: OP (option)----- Show ------ circles and arcs smoothness

2. How to displayed scroll bars in the graphics window

Some people may also use the mouse wheel, then when the scroll bar is perhaps the role (if not quite pan will be used): OP ---- Display ------ scrolling graphics window.

3. How to convert PDF to AutoCAD DXF?

In order to convert PDF to DXF, you can use the PDF to DXF converter. There are many of this kind of software online. You should choose the one can support batch mode so you can save much time if you have thousands of PDF files need to be converter.

4. Set the default save format

OP ---- opening and saving ---- Save as 200X format

Higher CAD version is compatible with lower version, colleagues or partners with a lower version of the CAD can be saved by default is set too low. Of course, if only on a one drawing processing to save time can also choose the version of CAD.

5. How to print the same style sheet as this time in the next time?

In other words, how to save print list

Print op option ----print style table settings

Edit an existing print style sheet or add a new print style sheet in the print style sheet, set the output color and line width corresponding to the various colors, and then save.

6. If the title bar displays the incomplete path how to do?

Option ----Open and Save -----in the title bar displays the full path (check) can

7. Is OSNAP helpful?

Now this is not a problem, many people have used familiar objects capture by capturing a variety of feature points of the surface of a variety of graphics, such as the endpoint, midpoint, intersection, center, so that we can accurately drawing the same time Object Snap also offers some special commands, such as MTP, by two points to calculate the intersection; TRACK (TK) can track a reference point, set the offset of more than one direction, do not draw the auxiliary line to accurately locate some special point .

8. How to reduce the file size

Solution 1: complet graphics, perform cleanup: the PURGE command to clean out redundant data, such as defined but unused blocks, layers, linetypes, text styles, label styles. Clean-up, check the dialog box below the "clean up nested project, it can be thoroughly cleaned up, there is no need to repeatedly clean up.

You can also clean up the drawing process, this can increase the display and operating speed, but need to pay attention to the contents of the cleanup, such as some linear layers, text styles, dimension styles may be used later, do not clean up these Cleanup dialog box can be selected.

Solution 2: WBLOCK command.

Need to send graphics WBLOCK command to block the way to generate new graphics files to the new generation of graphics files to send or archive. The effect is the same as clean up, because the redundant data in the write block file will not be written to the block file. Or you can convert DXF to PDF files so the AutoCAD drawings in PDF file format is smaller in size.

9. How to recover the automatically saved graphics?

CAD will automatically save the graphics memory is saved as *. SV $, search this file extension to *. Dwg can be opened in CAD. General of the file stored in the temporary directory of WINDOWS. By the following method: Start Menu -> Run, enter% temp% (or tmp%) can enter the temporary files directory. Can also direct search.

CAD may also exist another backup file is the extension *. Bak, the file is usually generated manually save when the file was last saved will be renamed as *. Bak. When the file is extended into a DWG, it can be directly opened. This file is usually stored in the DWG file directory. To print the DWG file, you can convert AutoCAD DWG to PDF.

10. Why input text height can not be changed?

If you have set your text style height, it won’t prompt the text height and directly use of the height of the text style settings, the same as dimension. If you want to manually set the height, go to the Text Style dialog box, the text style height set 0.
