Direct data entry (autocad)
« on: Aug 16, 2024, 06:45:28 AM »
I've always moved stuff, giving XYZ coordinates... it's always seemed faster... but autocad doesn't like "@" anymore for the last point..  what gives?

Another command I'm finding very useful is "CLASSICINSERT"  the new insert command SUX.

When moving things in Autocad using X,Y,Z coordinates the from works I just need to right click and select "from" and then use @  and enter coordinates.  Do not forget to use the @ symbol after selecting reference point and before you enter the coordinates values which you want to move the object(s) over.

I love when I do a search for something and find out it was something I answered years ago. It's a "DOH!" moment. haha
