Zoom to Point

Published by tomshumpert on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 19:00

Here is how to create a toolbar for you to "ZOOM TO POINT" Not sure why it is not in C3D2012 or 2013 for that matter. Atleast I was not able to find it in 2013. If you know where it is let me know. Great command in Land Desktop.

Create a new command in the CUI and add this macro: ^C^C'ZC;'PN;\\30;

Gaps on your Dragged Labels Fix

Ever drag a point label and the leader does not point to the center of the point?

Kinda old. But just had to do it again so thought I would post.

 

 

 

Your first thought is to just edit the label style, close. After a few minutes of digging here you go.

Select the Label

Right click and select "Point Group Properties"

Select the "Point Style" Not (Label Style)

Most people have maybe one or two server license of Raster Design. Once you have finished doing what you need to do in the program use :IUNLOAD.

This will release the license you had open and make it available to other users. Just keep in mind you will have to shut Acad down in order to run RasterDesign again.

Here is a quick example on how to create a Command to run in a toolbar. First thing you want to do is decide what toolbar you want the Command/Macro to run in. I have a separate CUI that follow me around version to version. If you were to add custom commands to the Acad or Civil CUI for example, when you upgrade versions you would have to remember what you added to those menus and that is to much thinking. So Create your own CUI/Menu!

Working with a large topo file?? Turn OFF the Level of detail View and it will significantly increase your speed.

Go to your View tab->View panel->Lavel of Detail

Once selected it will give you this warning

Command Line Variables=LevelOfDetail and LevelOfDetailOff

When you zoom out the amount of drawing data decreases, while you zoom in the amount increases..Plotting is not effected.

Don't forget when setting up your C3D2013 to check the "Automatically save workspace changes". Nothing like getting all your menus and toolbars set, exit C3D and get in later and your stuff is gone.......
