Recently in an AutoCAD training an age old question came up - how do I change the path of XRef from Full Path to Relative Path? The answer has always been to open XRef Manager and type in some combination of “..\” in the text string under Saved Path. This pathing concept has become easily digestible in recent times, but still remains a challenge overall.In the screen shots below the file Wall Base.dwg is shown as XRefed with Full Path as is evident...

While working on a grading I needed to change grades along a path that had been defined as a 2D polyline. Well, it is a fact that a 2D polyline cannot hold different elevations at different vertices. This is a property of a 3D polyline. So, is there a way convert the 2D polyline to a 3D polyline? Yes, there is!I was reminded of two fantastic and very old tools that would let you do just that – Convert 2D polyline to 3D polylines and Convert 3D polyline...

Working as the Ideate Support Tech the other day, I ran into a question where a user wanted to change a value of a parameter within a family.

Problem was the description was grayed out, and the value could not be edited.After editing the family we went to the Family Types dialog box and expanded the Identity Data Section. Note that in the Identity Data...

One of the benefits of Building Information Modeling is the automatic coordination associated with having a single element being represented throughout the project documentation in many ways. A duplex outlet, for example, can display itself as a 2D symbol while in Plan View, a 2D cover plate within Elevation View, and as a load component within an Electrical Panel Schedule, and as part of a Quantity Takeoff Schedule for Electrical Devices. Any change...
