Tips & Tools Weekly (Vol. 14, No. 18)
10 May, 2009This Week's Software Tips
Text tips are here! Several weeks ago, we invited readers to submit text tips for AutoCAD. And you responded -- thank you! In fact, you responded so well that it's going to take us two weeks to share most of the tips. Because of the volume received, we've sent some of the AutoLISP-based text tips to Cadalyst's Hot Tip Harry. Some tips didn't make the cut, and a few others will be shared as reminders. Following is round 1 of text tips from Tips & Tools Weekly readers.
Insert Microsoft Word Text as Mtext Time-Saving Text Tricks Simplify Your Fonts Text with Shadows Text Size and Scale Chart And More Tips! Text Case Shortcut: Select your text and press Ctrl+Shift+U to convert selected text to uppercase. Ctrl+Shift+L for lowercase. This works with dtext and mtext.
Submit Your Tip for your favorite CAD software. If we publish your tip, we'll send you a Cadalyst T-shirt, and each month Cadalyst editors will randomly select one published tip and send a $100 gift card to its author. Please remember:
