- Cheap Tricks • Help restoring Keyboard Shortcuts June 21, 2021With a recent hard-drive purge, I lost my keyboard shortcuts and feel cut off at the knees as a result. Does anyone have the MCR files with some of the shortcuts popularized by Evan Shu and in our Boston Dbug meetings? I'm thinking in particular of ones such as Alt Z for changing text contents, […]msalink

- DataCAD 22 • Re: Enhancements to Batch Plotting June 17, 2021We batch plot using MSP, GTV and quick layout quite often. Not necessarily all in the same file however.Here are some suggestions people in the office have come up with:Batch plotting with the custom naming feature so it doesn’t spit out 20 characters I have to modify laterBatch plot and merge sheets all at once […]Paul Nida

- DataCAD 22 • Re: Enhancements to Batch Plotting June 17, 2021Same here. I only batch plot from MSP sheets. Don't think I have ever plotted from QuickLayout or GTV. For my use, those two options are not even needed with Batch Plotting. I think that might be the user poll to take and it would cut down on the programming workload.Statistics: Posted by David Porter […]David Porter
- DataCAD 22 • Re: Enhancements to Batch Plotting June 17, 2021PDF plotting is the default these days. Even if the drawings are going to be printed on paper, every print shop takes PDF. It lends itself to a more reliable output.As for recommendations:Setting print to file and then PDF file type is a little redundant on top of already having the system's PDF printer set […]melina
