  • DataCAD 19 • Re: Hatch display January 25, 2021
    Can you post screen shots of your printer menu, your pen table, and the Line Settings and 2D Cavity Settings tabs from the Wall Type Manager so we can see what settings you are using? I tested it here and they are ordering correctly so I am guessing it might be something to do with […]

    Hello,I'm having a problem w/ how the wall fill is behaving. On the working drawings I have a client who wants to show a zig-zag line in the center of the wall for graphic reasons pertaining to the permitting process in his area. We have a 6" wall w/ the zig-zag right in the middle, […]

    Hi Ted,Yes, a gaming PC with a decent nVidia video card. A midline video card about the 2060 level, probably. If you can find one with a 4, 6, or 8 core CPU, and 16-32GB of RAM, and a boot SSD (check your current HD for a capacity that will work). An SSD will boot […]

    Back again.I checked for outlying 'things' in outer space and think I found nothing, but who knows? I was working, revising symbols (ever more taxing my memory) and I think something there may have introduced 'things.' I deleted many exploded symbols, cleaned up the drawing and may have coaxed better behavior, but created more questions:The […]

  • How do I ...? • Re: SMALL RADIUS SPB FILLS January 23, 2021
    UPDATEChanging accuracy in Settings does not work in more complex cases (with several curves of small radius).However, I found another workaround: If I Enlarge the shape by a large factor, DataCAD will allow me to convert the lines into a polyline, then I can SPB fill the entity, then I need to shrink the entity […]

    I would probably just start at https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com, import them into Datacad and save as a symbol as needed.Statistics: Posted by joshhuggins — Fri Jan 22, 2021 8:10 pm

  • DataCAD 21 • Re: Changing the Color Map January 21, 2021
    So this really should be made more clear somehow. You CANNOT switch the color map (.tbl) file. You CAN switch the color pallete (.rgb) file as described above, and by association the color map will change to the .tbl file of the same name as the .rgb file. 4 hours of digging, placing and moving […]

    Sounds like one of the symbols you inserted has a point/line/something WAY out in NeverNeverland.Statistics: Posted by MtnArch — Thu Jan 21, 2021 2:19 pm
