Image
Hi everybody.... This is Part II of my last AutoCAD Architecture post How to get your AutoCAD Menus back in AutoCAD Architecture... As I said before some times the ACA.cuix (AutoCAD Archicture Menus) and the ACAD.cuix (regular AutoCAD Menus) don't play well together, in my last post I showed you one way to make it work, but some times loading the ACAD Menus generate a problem with the Ribbons, so here is another way to get it done... Please take a look at the video and if you have any question feel free to drop me a line... ENJOY!!! ;)

Hi everybody.... I know that this is not a Civil 3D post, but I have been asked this questions so many times lately that I decide to do a post about it.... As probably all of you know by now when Autodesk introduced the Ribbons in 2010 for every single Autodesk product, your Menus in AutoCAD Architecture (ADT or ACA) are no longer loaded by default, and if you being working with ADT since before, you also know that the ACA.cuix and the ACAD.cuix don't play well together, but we can make it work just doing a couple of steeps... Please take a look at the video and if you have any question feel free to drop me a line... Hope this will help... have a good one...

Binding a Raster Image in AutoCAD...

Image
Hi again... After a really quiet time, I am back... I being ask lately about How to Bind a Raster Image in AutoCAD, as you probably already know raster images can only be referenced into AutoCAD drawings. If you send the drawing to someone else, you must send the image file also, if you will end up with a broken reference. One way to get it done is inserting the image as an OLE object. Go to the Insert Tab and look for OLE Object or just type INSERTOBJ on the command line. Choose "Create New", then choose "Paintbrush Picture". Next, Windows Paintbrush should open up. In Paintbrush, choose the from the ribbons -> Paste, then Paste from ... Select your existing image file (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF, etc.) Close Paint and save your AutoCAD drawing... Hope this will give you some ideas and help you somehow...
