This Week's Software Tips Do you have a favorite tip or shortcut that you use every day in your CAD software? One that saves you time? Makes life easier? Share it with other readers and, if we publish it, we'll send you a “ Cadalyst: CAD the Way You Want It” t-shirt. Followup: Pick a Percentage Toolbars NOTES FROM CADALYST TIP PATROL: The Patrol reminds you that if you want to include toolbars from past releases, tread carefully. You don’t want to import anything that conflicts with your current release, because undoing this action can be a minefield. If you are looking to import personal toolbars, load them into your CUSTOM.CUI and not the ACAD.CUI. You can use the Transfer tab in the CUI dialog box to drag-and-drop toolbars from old into new (CUSTOM.CUI). However, remember that you need to be able to access the button icon files as well.

NOTES FROM CADALYST TIP PATROL: This does not apply to regular AutoCAD. There is plenty of documentation regarding AutoLISP and Visual LISP; however, AutoCAD’s Help files are not the place to learn any type of LISP programming. Go buy a book instead.

If we publish it, we'll send you a "Cadalyst: CAD the Way You Want It" t-shirt.
