Dimensioning with Grips Using AutoCAD 2012 you can now define baseline, continuous dimension, stretch and flip arrow. Without typing the command in command line but instead using the grips of the dimension and you can choose with variable options. More on that even the text dimension you can manipulate how will look like to your settings. However only dimension break is not on the list. Thanks to the power of Multifunctional Grips. Multifunctional grips You can do several more things with grips. Since AutoCAD 2011, Autodesk has introduced multifunctional grips. This was later enhanced in AutoCAD 2012. With multifunctional grips, you can choose what modification you would like to perform. You need only select an object, and then move your cursor above a grip. Grips not only allow you to use fewer tools, they also provide quicker and easier methods. Previously, it was not easy to add a vertex to a complex polyline. Multifunctional grips now allow you to click a grip and quickly ad

What is AUGI?

What is AUGI? AUGI is the Autodesk User Group International, officially recognized by Autodesk as representing the Autodesk user community. AUGI has two prime directives. The first is to assist its members by presenting programs and information that will enhance their use of Autodesk products. The second is to deliver the voice of the user community to Autodesk, thus assisting Autodesk in product development and giving users a say in the process. 1990: Mystery Meet/Meat The North American Autodesk User Group (NAAUG) was the original brainchild of John Forbes, then a senior Autodesk representative. Before John became an Autodesk employee, he had been a user of Autodesk software and an Autodesk dealer; he knew that AutoCAD software users could benefit greatly from sharing their knowledge and experience of the software with one another. So, in 1989 he began planning the first national meeting of AutoCAD users in San Jose, California, near Autodesk's headquarters in Sausalito

Tips Before Recovering a Drawing

Autodesk Product Support strongly recommends that you perform the following steps before recovering a corrupted drawing: • Make a copy or copies of your drawing on reliable storage media. For example, if you suspect that your hard disk contains bad sectors, copy your files to another network drive, USB flash drive, and external hard drives. It is best to perform recovery operations on a copy of the file, since there are several different methods of recovery and each method alters the file in a different way.  For each recovery method, it is best to use a copy of the original file since recovery processes may alter a damaged drawing yet still not recover it enough that AutoCAD can open it.  If you retain a copy of the original damaged file, you can then use another recovery process on the original file. • Identify and make backup copies of BAK files associated with the damaged drawing. If you open and save a damaged file without fully recovering it, you may overwrite a good BAK
