<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by john gaunt: Or put it on a function key - "ID endp". <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks John, that's pretty close to what I wanted and would improve accuracy although requiring a (simple) extra...

John, I export to DXF for use in a CNC machine so I have to be careful that the entities exported are exactly at 0,0,0. I'm too smart to not verify that EVERY time because being off can crash my CNC into a fixture. In Autocad, all I do is to DIST and simply pick the first point I want to be sure is ...

I know Dave, but when you're moving along pretty good in a drawing, things happen fast. I need to know that I have a particular point at a particular location like, RIGHT NOW. Having to stop and play with menus to get information isn't my idea of a fun session when it's automatic in Autocad. I was j...

Entity Snap and coordinates shown

In either Autocad or Intellicad, the coordinates can be toggled to move with the cursor. However, a very helpful feature in Autocad is that when you select an entity with one of the snap settings, the coordinates shown also "snap" in that they show the exact location of where the snap was ...

DXF output adds entities

I use dxfout for cutting templates in a small CNC machine (simply 2D shapes with just the one cutting depth for the template thickness). I can easily do this with Autocad using versionR12 dxf output and it works fine. But when I dxfout from Intellicad 6.1 using either versionR12 or R13 (R13 is not a...

Noting that it is customary for most software companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, etc., to offer no/charge upgrades (within versions) to cover bug fixes etc., will a registered Ver.6 user be able to download the 6.1 upgrade for free? I understand requiring a paid upgrade from, for example, Ver. 6 to...

I could do that, but then I'm afraid I could lose control over the start and stop points of the entity when it gets converted to G-code. After seeing your reply, however, you got me to thinking so I went back in and played around with various workarounds (such as Joining). What I came up with actual...

Polyline anchor points

I asked this question directly email but got no answer so I'll try here: I frequently draw small templates with AcadR14 that are straight on 3 sides, but they have a shaped fourth side that might include curves and straight lines that begin and end on their common end points. After I draw the shape ...
