that make you happy.
Like when you figure out a very basic procedure in auotcad that really simplifies plat drawing....something you wish you had known for the last 5 years.
Share the Joy!

print?????????? 🙂
Actually Daniel, I have wanted to take a sledge hammer to the printer a few times, but that's not it.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have just figured out how to make a block of multi-line text wider or more narrow without changing the text size or reprinting it. I'm self taught on cad so there are a LOT of even simple things I hit and miss at until I find the best way to do them.
On the off chance there is someone else like me out there:
[edit text]
select the text block
right click on the gray line at the top of the edit window
a small window will open with the existing width
enter the new width.
That's a lot easier than shifting stuff around the plat until you find a space wide enough for the block after line work starts creeping into it.
You are not alone. It took me years to find that.
Are we talking about Mtext?
Carlson lets you drag the box to be any size you want....:-D
I just found out that you can move the "fields"(?) of AECC pts with regular acad commands. (don't even have to use grips)
I was used to using DCA pts, where the pt#, elv and desc were block attributes. (requiring "attedit")
I "just knew" if I moved the elev in an AECC point it would move the node, so never even tried it.
Doh!
