Drawing Lists
Has anybody come up with a quick way of producing a List of all Drawings in a file ?, possibly by using the listing of saved drawings at the end of the filepath. I need to keep a list of drawings in with 11 x 17 hard copies of the drawings and have been laboriously typing out drawings names and numb...

Re: Styles
A little quicker option to recreating your styles in each new file would be to Load your Styles into the file and 'Modify' them to change any of the attributes ( properties ) that have loaded incorrectly. 'Modify Style' is found in the drop down menu that appears when you click the arrow that appear...

Styles
Is anyone else having problems with the Save/Load feature of Styles ? I have created Styles and 'Saved' them but when I 'Load' them into another project some of the attributes are changing e.g. In a Linear Dimension 'Style', what were 'Slash' line ends are changing to 'Arrowheads'. I've sent a coupl...

Re: CHANGING DIMENSION LABELS
I should add a point that does partly address this wish. In my experience with HD, the closing and reopening of the Dimension Properties pane for each dimension text label that needs to be changed is only necessary if the label is not one that already has Custom Text in it. If labels already have Cu...

CHANGING DIMENSION LABELS
Now that we can change the text of a leader label without opening the Dimension Properties pane I have come to realise that at the top of my wish list now is the ability to do the same with the text label of all other dimensions. I just detailed four Safety Guards for Vee Belt Drives. They were all ...

Re: 'free' multiply
My kids used to do this in a program called KidPix .... it's called 'Rubber Stamp'.

TEXT SIZE
I have never been able to keep the Text Size Selection Box, in the Text and Dimension Properties panes, set to Pixels. When I open these panes the size is almost always shown in Millimeters even though I change it to pixels at every use. I haven't been able to find a pattern as to why, on infrequent...

Re: Precision Woes
Have you tried performing the same functions that you was having problems with but with the precision set much finer. 1/4 " precision seems huge to me but I use decimal inches in the engineering field. 1/4" might be perfectly alright for what you are doing but would it be a problem if it w...

Re: ***LEADERS...
A leader is a line ( usually with an arrowhead) pointing to a particular item on your drawing, and with a note attached.
It is the tool within the dimensions tool that resembles this.

Layer Colours
I would find it much more productive if, when I switch layers, the pen colour changed to that of the newly chosen layer every time. If I have previously forced a change of the pen colour of the layer that I am leaving then this colour stays active and I have to manually change the pen colour of the ...

Re: ***LEADERS...
Isn't it nice when you can eliminate yet another step ? It would be great if we could also do this to customize a dimension in the same way .... all in good time I guess, the list is endless. I was partially in error ...... if you are already in the dim'n tool then you have to single RIGHT click on ...

Re: ***LEADERS...
It works either way ..... whether you are already in the dim'n tool and then select the leader in question, or vice versa, then single left click on the text.
It can be any dim'n tool, you don't have to be in the leader tool

Re: ***LEADERS...
Since HD 1.8..... ? came in, you can just click on the text attached to a leader and a text box opens up that can be edited right there on the page ....... I have had no trouble with this so far. Not sure if it only works if you have created a 'Style' for the leader you want ( which I have ) but I d...

Re: Nuts and bolts
If it's symbols that you are looking for they would be in the High Design Symbol Library but I don't recall seeing any there.
Are you looking for Imperial or Metric ? ....... I have some Imperial that I have created in my custom library.
