I am a long time user of AutoCAD way back in the DOS days, but I am stumped.
I cannot see my pline while drawing cant see where I am going. No all the layers are on. One weird thing is that if I draw a "line" in line function I can see where I am going but not with pline. I use pline pretty much exclusively. This problem just started. I hope you have an answer for me.
Best,
Lori
Hi
My question is that in AutoCAD LT. When I open a drawing and work from it, then open another drawing to refer to some design ideas. which I would have two windows of files open at one time. Then I close the last drawing I had opened. Try save my latest drawing, and it always attempts to save back to the reference file that I had opened. Any help
Hello,
I encountered an error while opening my AutoCad file, it says INTERNAL ERROR: !dbutil-core2d.cpp@895: eHandleInUse
I had copied some drawings from an AutoCad file, converted from Solidworks,
I would be thankful if you could help,
Thank you and best regards.

I would fall under the "new employee learning new software" category here. We're looking into AutoCAD LT for some survey work, and I'm struggling with overlaying files.
I'm working with an apartment building file - roughly 200 apartment units across two buildings. There are several different unit types, and the electrical file simply has a "typical unit" layout page, rather than a reflected ceiling plan. I'd like to lay the electrical apartment layout on top of the architectural drawing, but will have to do so by each unit type (like putting together a puzzle.) One additional wrench is that the typical unit drawing is on a different scale than the architectural drawing (1/4 vs. 1/8.)
What's the best way to accomplish this goal? Thanks for your help.
I have a subscription to Autocad Lt 2018 which I downloaded about a month ago to replace my previous version.Do I automatically get any patches or updates or do I need to somehow download these manually?
I am using AutoCAD LT 2011 and was trying to explore sheet set command when I realised that the command and icons both are missing from CAD. I have read other forums and know that LT 2010 had sheet set command. What can I do to activate the command? I have attached supporting image showing View/Palettes where sheet set should be there.
So here's my question, and it might be harder then you think, or perhaps you have been using it and you answer it fast. My fellow mechanical designers and myself are creating dynamic blocks to help speed the time it takes to create our drawings. I am a huge fan of using attributes and dynamic blocks.
With dynamic blocks in mind. I think it will be better if I create a scenario for you to understand what I am talking about.
You are sitting in front of your computer, you have your AutoCAD open with a design layout, there are numerous dynamic blocks as well as regular blocks in your layout. Based on what you know you; you can see that 30 of them are old, this particular dynamic block has changed. The new improved design is in another file.
The question is; can I just import the new dynamic block into this drawing file and have it automatically update the 30 D-blocks? Because I have already tried it and the AutoCAD file ignores the new import as if I didn't try to import it, instead the dynamic block already in the file that resembles the 30-old dynamic blocks appears. So is there a way for me to import the improved dynamic block and auto-fix the 30 old blocks?
Thank you.
My coworker is having the below issue after getting an upgraded windows 10 computer and an upgraded version of AutoCad LT (2018).
"At first when I tried Autocad earlier this week, it seemed to be faster and not having the delay issues. But now it seems like cad is delaying with every single command. There is a lag, and it’s creating massive drawing delays"
I am running AutoCAD LT 2018 on a Dell Alienware 17R4 notebook computer. I'm on Windows 10 Home (64-bit OS), 32 GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. I know the graphics card is more suitable for gaming, but can someone recommend an AutoCAD compatible graphics card that would also fit this computer? The list on the Autodesk website seems to be just for workstations.
How do I change viewport scale from imperial units to metric?
Hi.
Excuse me for bothering.
I write here for the problem in subject.
since last windows 10 update(judging by the time it took, I think it's the Fall Creator Update), installed last Thursday, I keep having this message on every launch of Autocad 2018 LT (but I found it also in Revit and in 2017 LT, as specified).
I already looked on the community and on the web and that's what I did:
- uninstalled/reinstalled .NET framework, using .NET cleanup tool and trying to install via off-line package (system said it already was installed the same, so I used Add/remove windows functionality Panel to get 4.71 also checking all subsections);
- cleaned the system cache, temporary Files and registry with CCleaner;
- checked for updates and manual reinstalled latest update, both for 2018 LT and ReVit;
- installed hot fix 5.1.5 for license services (x64, because x86 says there's no application for it)
- adding a new user profile and trying launch apps with it;
- tried also a recovery to last point, even if it's subsequent to Fall Creator Update;
Is there something I can try, before uninstalling/reinstalling products? Since I've 3 of them, I would avoid it.
I attach here 2 screenshots and dumpdata.zip, hoping they help.
thank you.
Where are the sample files for Design Center in LT2018?
my autocad lt 2018 keeps freezing and then shows an error message. not sure why please help i have attached a picture of the message that pops up
john.vellek has edited your subject line for clarity:ERROR MESSAGE
Can anyone suggest an advantage in using plines over regular lines, without the need for width, measuring an area, or convenience of having them joined to each other? One of my colleagues insists on using individual plines and it's driving me batty.
We just received a new plotter HP DesignJet Z5600 Plotter. It has been awhile since I sent cad files to a plotter and I cannot get my drawing to scale down to a B or C size plot.
My drawing is an architectural drawing drawn to 1:1 scale bldg. is approx. 200ft wide x 100ft. I have my paper set to B size, I drew a "Window" around the feature I wanted to print and then set my scale to 1/128" : 1' 0" It DID print smaller but the portion that I selected with my window got cut off. Then I set my limits around the area I wanted to print and that did the same thing. How do I get it to print the entire drawing that I selected? The "Print Preview" screen shows it should be perfectly centered within my window selection. Any ideas will be appreciated.
I have had to bring back on to my screen the tools as I clicked on them earlier today and they vanished - why?
Not the problem although it was another one of those AutoDesk complicated procedures - when will they realise that it's almost easier to go back to the drawing board as AC is getting too complicated.
Anyway, since I'be brought the tools back on to the screen, the hatch won't let me get past setting the pattern, scale and angle - 131/650/0 as I've always used for denoting existing walls.
Why - please?
Can't be a###d to change my account details as that's another week's work so davidarchservs@gmail.com please
Anybody got a sharp pencil and a piece of tracing paper??
I have been working with LT 2015 on my new mobile workstation for about two months now.
I am finding this version is not as legible on this new machine as it was on the old machine.
Three items you should know:
My second monitor resolution is 1920x1080.
I can hardly read the text (it is so small) on either monitor any when I adjust the Scaling up. Scaling has little effect on the tool icons.
Prior to purchasing the new computer I inquired with Autodesk Support if AutoCAD LT 2015 (stand alone license) would operate on Windows 10 Pro, they responded, yes.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Ed
何が 何故変更されたのでしょう？
何かが変更されてポリライン編集が変になったりするような気がするのですが気のせいなのかどうかイマイチ判らないんですけどね
なぜなら該当ファイルを閉じで開きなおすと元に戻るもので・・・

Dag,
Ik heb Acad 2018 geïnstalleerd als student. Mijn laptop is vrij nieuw en moet het programma aankunnen. Echter tijdens het tekenen begint mijn beeldscherm te trillen. Volgend onze ICT-er is dat niet de videokaart. Weet u misschien at hier de oorzaak van is?
Hi.
1) Is it possible to somehow select objects by their handle ids in AutoCAD LT?
I am fully aware it can be easily done in the full version - but is it possible in LT?
2) What can a user do in AutoCAD LT with handles?
Sorry about the vague question, not sure how to even search/ask for this.
Are there any user-side use-cases for object handles in AutoCAD LT (maybe there are some commands that accept handle ids?).
If yes, what are they?
