There are lots of commands in AutoCAD that starts with letter X, commands that AutoCAD users frequently use or never been used at all . Personally some of these “X” commands that I am talking about got a chance to be use by me, but then some I never got a chance to try at all.
These commands are:
Probably one of the most exciting sub-tools of the express tools is the change space under the layout tools. This tool, allows you to transfer any objects from model space to paper space or vice-versa.
For instance, there was one time that I want to put all drawing legends in my drawings in paper space. But the problem is in paper space I have to re-draw again all the necessary legends that I needed when in facts all legends are already drawn inside the model space. All I need is just to transfer it or copy it from model space to paper space.
As an AutoCAD user for some period of time now, I have encountered so many problems involving data losses, data corruption and damaged drawing files. Which trigger when the AutoCAD that I am using encountered a program error, system error or a windows manager failure. And to some point an, unnoticed power failure.
Usually when I encountered this, the first thing that comes to my mind is the questions, what will happen with the data that I am working on? will it be loss? or can I recover it without any damaged at all?. Especially when times I forgotten to save it.
It is safe to say that some advance users of AutoCAD, regardless of what releases of AutoCAD that they uses are using modified command aliases or command abbreviations. Some users also have their own personalized set of command aliases that they prefer to use it over the default command aliases available on AutoCAD. These aliases are usually the frequently used AutoCAD commands (eg. Line, Dimension, fillet, Trim, etc. etc.).
On some of the features of AutoCAD LT version 2006, the capability to trim the hatch pattern I think is the most useful and probably some users may think the same way as I do. Though all the features of the said version are useful in terms of completing a drawing task.
I got a chance to use the latest version of AutoCAD LT, the version 2006 and while using it I discover something that I think it would be a great help on the users like me, The copy command in autoCAD LT version 2006 is rather different from the previous version, it has an enhancement that probably most users will surely love. On the previous version when you’re using copy command and you want the things you are copying in multiple you have to key in the multiple sub-command right after the copy command. But on the latest version of autocad LT keying in the multiple sub-command is not neccessary anymore, for it is already copied automatically in multiple.
While searching the net and using the keyword AutoCAD the yahoo search got back at my search, a site containing a clueless questions of the meaning of AutoCAD and the used of it.
What exactly is AutoCAD? and what is it used for?, where can I find it useful?.
A question, which of course has their answers, coming perhaps from an AutoCAD practitioner himself/herself or a professional that has a first hand experience of the wonder of AutoCAD.
