  • DataCAD 18 • Re: Detail and dimensions July 4, 2020
    I might be unclear on what is to be done here, but if I were doing this as it seems, I'd just XRef (or SelfXRef) the detail and enlarge that. It would allow for changes to be made at real world scale. Dimensions would continue to work as needed. As a matter of fact, I […]

  • DataCAD 18 • Re: Detail and dimensions July 3, 2020
    You could also turn off text Scale in Settings so the dimensions are not scale-dependent on the plot scale and layout out the detail(s) on MSP sheets at the different print scales you want. This also saves having to artificially enlarge/reduce the details allowing everything to remain at real world scaling.Another way could be to […]

  • DataCAD 18 • Detail and dimensions July 2, 2020
    I have drafted a detail and dimensioned it, but now I want to enlarge the detail without the dimensions changing. Is there anyway to make this happen.Statistics: Posted by mijenix — Thu Jul 02, 2020 3:24 pm

  • Wishlist • Re: Z-Distance - extra readout for Z-Base and Z-Height June 30, 2020
    I have made the zd macro available on my web site (exact same version as previously posted on the forum, but the download from the web site also contains some bitmaps that could be used for toolbar icons if required).One thing I have realised is that because it does not solicit any user input it […]

  • DataCAD 21 • Re: TRAINING in Sydney Australia? June 30, 2020
    I don't think there is any DataCAD training at all in the Sydney area.There used to be a Sydney User Group with regular meetings. There are still DataCAD users in the Sydney area, but the user group hasn't met for quite a few years now.There are some on-line training videos around if you do a […]

  • DataCAD 21 • Re: Symbol Browser Symbol Order June 30, 2020
    Same here, I created a basic DataCad directory, and keep all my defaults, Templates (yes I still use them) and Symbols there, also back up of support files just n case.I still use Templates, have a drop down menu item to grab all my typical ones. After I have the drawing going, then I use […]

  • DataCAD 21 • Re: Symbol Browser Symbol Order June 30, 2020
    Something I did long ago was I created a new symbol folder outside of the DataCad directory named DataCAD Symbols SJE. I then copied all the current symbols into this directory.Why? Every time I upgraded my symbol modifications would not get transferred so I spent time trying to find the ones I had modified to […]

    You can just use you file explorer to rename the files in the Symbols directory.Statistics: Posted by Steve Elton — Tue Jun 30, 2020 2:57 pm
