Another AutoCAD accuracy issue problem

April 16, 2012 by Edwin Prakoso 2 Comments

precision

I posted about this issue a few years ago. Sometimes you just find that AutoCAD is loosing its accuracy.

Apparently this problem is still occur when you work very far away from your drawing’s origin. I found this accuracy issue in AUGI forum, using AutoCAD LT 2012.

This problem mostly happens for metric drawings, because we often have to use mm even for very large site. The only thing I can advice you is trying to draw as close as possible to origin.

I would like to hear your opinion too, how you prevent this happens.

6 Things AutoCAD Command Line Can Do for You (Infographics)

AutoCAD Command Line is the most important feature in AutoCAD. Veteran users can use two hands (one on the keyboard and the other using mouse) and draw very quickly. It is faster than relying on the GUI only.

The new users probably using GUI more than older users like me. They prefer the Ribbon and use the Command Line less. 

In this post, you can see 6 things AutoCAD Command Line can do to make your life easier. You don’t have to use them all, but at least you know it can be done. If you think it’s good, use it. But if you don’t like it, leave it.
