Cadalyst to Award $100 Monthly to Selected Tipsters Send us your tips, code and other shortcuts for AutoCAD, MicroStation, SolidWorks or any other CAD software. If we publish your tip, we'll send you a t-shirt and put you in the running for the $100 monthly prize! Follow-Up to Redir Command Bob Stewart says, “Another method when dealing with hard-coded paths in xrefs from clients or subcontractors is to create a subfolder called XREF under the parent drawing(s) folder, and put the xref files in it. Go to Tools / Options / Files / Support File Search Path and add .\XREF. As long as the xrefs are in a subfolder of the parent drawing called XREF, AutoCAD will find the files. Arrow Pointer NOTES FROM CADALYST TIP PATROL: All Patrollers agree that this is a great little tip. Note that if you change applications and then return to AutoCAD, your crosshair will automatically be back to normal. One Patroller reminds us that AutoCAD 2007 users have some helpful tools at their disposal when showing a drawing. Use the Cleanscreenon and Cleanscreenoff commands -- accessible by clicking the icon in the bottom right corner of the display -- to hide all toolbars, providing a larger display screen for your mini-presentations. MicroStation Tip – Level Description at the Active Level Tab Axiom offers many MicroStation Tips on its MicroStationTips.com Web site. Send usyour tip, code or shortcut for your favorite CAD software. If we publish it, we'll send you a "Cadalyst: CAD the Way You Want It" t-shirt, and each month Cadalyst editors will randomly select one published tip and send $100 to its author. Please submit only code and other tips that are your original work, or provide the original source so we can include proper credit. By submitting code to Cadalyst, you grant Cadalyst the right to print and distribute your code in print, digitally and by other means.
