Yes it's possible. User may have to provide all dimensions (x, y, C, D, t, etc) and pick "starting corner" of the strip, etc.

Is this a classroom problem?

I think I can generate a csv file from the AECC points, if that would help. Post file of just points if interested.

I believe the message has to do with hatching which uses an xref for part of the boundary. Edit hatches to remove associativity.
I don't know what might be auto- answering the message.

Current layer is "off" or "frozen".

I believe you don't have the ability to download files the first few days after joining. (I can download it)

Here's a document from my archives that may be of some use.

The current annotative scale can be read in the system variable:
"cannoscalevalue"

It may be your DRAGMODE setting. Or some other obscure system variable :)

If you are drawing in feet, the cad drawing should report (somehow) what the dimensions are of anything drawn, and area of enclosed object. Units would be whatever you intended when drawing; if you...

Check the DYNMODE variable as one option.
Or menu, tools>>drafting>>dynamic input.

As I mentioned earlier, perhaps the problem is your drawing rather than your setup. By the drawing sizes you mention , seems to be more pointing at this.

You may be starting with a drawing that is...

Your welcome. And my take on appearance:


A,6,-0.2,["W",ARIAL,S=0.1,R=0.0,X=-0.05,Y=-0.05],-0.2


The S=0.1 results in text 0.1 unit high when LTSCALE=1.
The y setting is used to center the...

I meant 2 lines of definition in the Acad.lin file; and I provided syntax for the first line.


So you'd need to insert:

*WATER_LINE,Water line ---W----W----W----W----W---
...

Comparing it to AutoCAD's "gas" linetype-

You will need two lines to define it, first line something like:
*WATER_LINE,Water line ---W----W----W----W----W---

What you show for definition looks...

I think you are SOL as far as getting the look you want from a custom linetype. As you found, the pen width controls the letter weidht.

One approach is to make your "W" out of a polyline; this can...

Check these variables:

One pointer-
You have a lot of text styles, many of them just to set different heights.
I'd suggest you have just one style per style/font; set the height to 0, then set height as text is placed....

No problem. Now you need to use that F1 key and delve in as deep as you like, then post here if you still have questions. :)

Type "pickfirst" then "1" !
Sometimes AutoCAD is intuitive. :)

How do you open an ew file? Perhaps this action has a control set that issues the " _newsheetset" command upon starting a new drawing.
