I've encountered a problem while plotting DWG to PDF.
I plot in A4 format, and when I'm choosing the window area to plot while I click on preview I see that the area has changed a little in the top and left sides.
My brother also uses autocad and maybe he changed something because this never happened to me before.
Thanks
It seems you're having problems with printing margins.
Double check you're using the same printer/plotter that you're used to.
Also, look into the properties of the printer/plotter where you have more options to customize your margins.

Ok. I am finding it difficult to visually discern where the current focus of my editor is. The image below shows that I am currently in the bottom PathIcon tag while the top PathIcon tag is highlighted because it is a matching type. The similarity in color has finally driven me crazy.
Does anyone know the correct text-type in the Fonts and Colors dialog of Visual Studio 2015 to change this color? And, look, for all the StackOverflow haters trolling the board, please resist closing this q until there is an answer. Then you can have your fun.
It looks like there are actually two different colors in play here. The grey box on the "<PathIcon" that contains the cursor is "Brace Matching (Rectangle)". The purplish box on the other "PathIcon" looks like it is the background portion of the "Match color", which is installed by the pro power tools.
The latter color won't reset if you change the color in fonts and colors but will be correct for editor instances you open after changing the color.
I think you're looking for Highlight Current Line (Active), which controls the colors of the line your cursor is on.
I'm studing AutoCAD and encountered with a scale problem.
I write a simple detail, but when i'm setting Lineweight 1.00 mm AutoCAD draw 2cm line instead of 1mm line. I tried to change scale in Annotate -> Dimensions -> Scale factor = 0.05, but it didn't help.
Here is two screenshots: how it is with and withoud LWB pressed. It does some crazy things when I want just to create a line a bit thicker than default.
I have the same problem, but this post wasn't very helpful
And this post wasn't neither
I posed it gere according to this aricle that says, that SO is the best options for this kind of questions: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/188052/which-stack-exchange-site-is-best-for-autocad-questions
The scale factor only controls the scale of the linetype.
To change the way the lineweight displays on the screen, right click on the "Show/Hide Lineweight" toggle at the very bottom, click "Settings..." and adjust the slider labelled "Adjust Display Scale".
Note that this will not change the printed weight of the lines, just how they show up on your monitor.
Pretty sure the Autodesk forums is the best place to ask an AutoCAD setup question.
Both posts you linked to above (Autodesk forums and AUGI) pertain to plotting and/or PaperSpace but your post is clearly showing ModelSpace.
I would check if you've drawn your sketch using polylines with a defined width. Could be a units issue as well.
I want to export certain shapes in powerpoint as images. For that I am using the following code:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Export "C:\dink_template\created_files\testimg.jpg", ppShapeFormatJPG
I also tried with other image formats:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Export "C:\dink_template\created_files\testimg.png", ppShapeFormatPNG
and I get this image:
Here you cannot notice because the white peace that appears in the image button (and also a bit in the top) is mixing with the page but if you make inspect element on the photo you will see it.
As you can see in this other image in powerpoint the shape fix perfectly and it is not bigger that the image:
Why is appearing this white peace in the top and in the button? How can I export the image without them?
EDIT
I know when it is happening. Because I try with other ones and sometimes they where not appearing and sometime it was. The problem is that when the text you write in the shape is so close to the border and you export it as image it export with this white space. Now the question is... how can I solve this?
One option would be to adjust the size of your shape and/or the size of the text accordingly to the total text length, before exporting it as an image, in order to make sure that your text will never be too close to the border...
Something else: have you checked the margins properties of your shape? Putting them to 0 might help a bit.
I'm trying to make an educational interactive presentation for kinder children using Power Point, and I'm trying to do a kind of test/activity in which the children have to click on some pictures according to the question. Some will be right, some don't. (for instance: can you point the tools used by a fireman? and show 4 images of different tools)
Using the mousemove event, I can reproduce a sound that says the name of the object, and using the click event I can reproduce another sound to tell the children "wrong" or "right".
Now, I would like to change the border of the picture they are clicking on (color and or width), but I have no clue how to do it in VBA.
It must be very easy, but I don't know the sintax :-(
Any help? Please?
Thank you!
You would be surprised but it's not so easy as you expected, of course, when doing smartly with classes and events.
I'll give you simple idea, so if you have time and really need it you could go this way. But there would be some problems- you will have to figure out how could you get starting borders of your shapes.
Here is idea how to start.
name each of the shape on the slide- select one and run the following instruction in Immediate window in VBA editor, eg.:
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Name = "Fireman"
to change the color and line write macro for each shape (this will run only in slideshow view):
Sub FiremanClick()
With SlideShowWindows(1).View.Slide.Shapes("Fireman").Line
.Weight = 2
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End With
End Sub
in application right-click fireman shape and associate action with macro you wrote.
you will need to figure out how to set back standard setting of each shape and when.
For some reason, some kind of bug happens when setting the border shape color first and then the weight, the shape border color becomes the generic blue one in PowerPoint 2010.
For some reason the selected tab on TextMate is almost un-noticeable, I really cannot make it out, they all look the same to me. When I switch tab I notice it changing color, so I guess it's very very very slightly different, but that doesn't help much.
I've been having this problem for a while, but IIRC it worked fine some times ago — I've no idea what happened to trigger this change.
TextMate 1.5.10, OSX 10.6.8
Any idea?
Your screenshot looks normal to me.
Check your monitor’s “brightness” and “contrast” settings, and possibly your color profile (System Preferences → Displays → Color). On a flat-panel display, there may be a setting which will over-brighten the input signal, causing the top end of the range (light gray to white) to be clipped, so that it is all white (just like overexposure in a camera). There is no good reason to do this ordinarily, especially with a digital input signal, so you should adjust the settings to avoid clipping.
Here’s an image of a black-to-white gradient with a gray border. If a large portion of the left end looks flat white, then you are having that problem.
