​

Hi guys This is sourbh again with the unique Idea to collect the all secrets of Auto-cad commands and feature's. . I hope you will love to work with auto-cad but it will become more interesting after you will know it "Deeply". If you have any idea or a great tip to pass along...Here i am inviting all grab-cadder's to share your ideas with other users here in this page, This only work when we all share ideas and concepts.

​

​

#1.TRIM AND EXTENDED DIMENSIONS:-

Trim and extend commands were common commands for all people who were working on auto-cad,this is such a handy feature and it seems that most user don't even know they can do this.

Use either Trim or Extend command to modify dimensions as well as arc, lines etc.

​

#2.

TRIM YOUR HATCHES:-

The new hatch capabilities allow you to trim your hatches just like you would other objects.

​

#3.

Take the edge out of Trim and Extend:-

Using the system variable EDGEMODE can simplify your Trim and extend functionality. Did you know that you can TRIM and EXTEND to non-existent edges?

0 Uses the selected edge without an extensions. 
1 Extend or Trims the selected object to an imaginary extension of the cutting or boundary edge.

​

​

#4.That is to Using TASKBAR command.

The new TASKBAR command allows you to see each drawing separately like other window application.

​

#5.The new command ZOOMV zooms to the maximum screen area in "virtual space" that is available without regeneration. You might have seen your virtual space during a zoom in or zoom out command in the past. The icons when you hit the edge of your virtual space look something like this.

​

#6.You can get a second line of text on your dimensions by using the "\X" format code in 
the SUFFIX field of your dimension style. 
This example shows how to use commonly 
used dimension requirements easily using 
this shortcut

​

#7.TEXTTOFRONT:- 
A new command TEXTTOFRONT brings all your text and dimension text to the top of the draw order stack.

​

#8.

Do you want to make your drawing more interesting? 
You can assign an image of your choice or a color gradient to window background of the drawing editor:

*Access the system dialog and select the system tab. 
*Select the properties button for the 3D graphics display and turn on render option and enable background. 
*Use the background command to set the required parameters of the image and gradient. 
*Use the shade mode command to use flat, gouraud or any other or any combination to use the background of your choice.

​

#9. REMEMBERFOLDERS:-

There is an auto-cad command called REMEMBERFOLDERS that control the default path for the Lock in or save in option of all standard file selection dialog boxes.

0 The folder will open to the same place every time. 
1 (Default) the current folder shown will remain as the default untill the another folder accessed.

Each option has Good and bad points.

​

#10.

If you prefer to use the overlay attachment option when attaching external references.

You can now set this as the default attachment option. 

Set the system variable Type:-

XREFTYPE

0 for attach 
1 for overlay

​

#11.Do you need to share your custom tool pallet's with others friend, co-worker or organisation.

Use the customize command to export the pallate to an .XTP file, and import the .XTP file on the other computer.

​

#12.Auto-cad sets a default limit of hatch segments to 10000. So if your hatch has more segments than that Auto-cad will not create the hatch. You can change this so that you can get a more dense hatch when needed.

Key In the following command line to modify this setting. note that this key-in is case sensitive and you must include parenthesis.

(setenv "MaxHatch" "10000").
