Adding SelectSimilar to the right-click menu in AutoCAD 2005:In a previous post, I showed some code from Adam W, and now we're going to create an easy way to access that command.First, I’ve got to find the ACAD.MNS file (run ROAMABLEROOTPREFIX to find = "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Map 3D 2005\R16.1\enu\Support"(I usually like to make a copy of this before I get started… just in case ).We’ll be adding the new command under the ***POP502 section (this is the right-click menu that shows when objects are selected)You...
EDIT 4/6/2010: SelectSimilar has been present in vertical products such as AutoCAD Architecture, however, due to the popularity of this post, I'd like to note that in AutoCAD 2010, this command was included in a package of extra tools offered to subscription users, and in 2011, it is present in vanilla AutoCAD as a native command.In MAP3D 2006 there is a tool, accessed by most via the right-click menu, called SelectSimilar. Once you’ve selected an object(s), you use this command to add all other similar entities throughout the drawing to your selection...

What am I talking about?Well, honestly, lots of things...one of the more well-known of course, is the build-your-own shoe page on Nike's website. Here you can select a basic shoe style and dictate everything from which Nike symbol appears on the tongue, to what colour the airpocket in the sole is. And at a price fairly similar to what you'd pay in stores.You can also design your own ring on the 'A Diamond is Forever' site.While slightly different, but, with the same 'power to the end-user' spirit, Home Depot is tied in with a software called Big...
After checking out a cool link posted by Robin Capper, I remembered my favorite artist, and how, when I'd finish classwork ahead of the other caddies-to-be, I would attempt to replicate his work in AutoCAD.MC ESCHER. I have always been fascinated by his work. I could stare at any one of his drawings for hours at a time without getting bored. You can find the official website with information about mr. escher here: http://www.mcescher.com/ (you can also order prints and other collectibles featuring his artwork). Following is a snippet from his biography......

There were sooo many choices for every feature that I was really impressed. (lacking only in the area of curly hair))here's what I came up with for myse...

Review: Ipod to PC transfersSince I got my new laptop, I wanted to backup my iTunes music library onto the hardrive. While examining the options in iTunes, I couldn't figure how to accomplish this. After a quick Google search, I discovered that I'm not blind, you really can't do this. I assume this is a licensing thing, or a piracy prevention-method.In order to transfer your iPod music library to your PC, you'll need to download an application to handle things. There are evidently many options out there, but a great list can be found on About.com....
Well, just felt like making another update about the storm. It's so odd that we're here in our nice powered home but so many things around us just aren't up and running. You should have seen the run on the one open gas station I passed on the way home. Not too easy to find ice and bottled water around here I've also heard. Some of the cities are making arrangements to have water primarily, but, also some food trucked in and distributed throughout affected neighborhoods. Many locations have instituted curfews.Thank the Lord that the temperatures...

Well some of you might have seen on the news or read over the ap-wire that St. Louis has been declared a disaster ( ;) all cultural jests aside from the coasts, please)... the National Guard came in sometime overnight last night to help check on residents without power and to transport them to cooling stations set up all over the area, with plans to set up additional locations (these efforts are also being facilitated by the fire department and area volunteers). If you're in the affected area and you *do* have power, don't get out driving around,...

from autocad help: DRAGMODE controls the display of objects being dragged. When Drag mode is on, the image of an object is displayed as you drag it to another position. With some computer configurations, dragging can be time-consuming. Use DRAGMODE to suppress dragging.0 - Does not display an outline of the object as you drag it1 - Displays the outline of the object as you drag it only if you enter drag on the command line after selecting the object to drag2 - Auto; always displays an outline of the object as you drag...

Of course, having spent a great deal of my time here growing up, I already knew that... I just thought I'd rub it in for those who aren't enjoying it right now. ;) Yesterday, the augi first lady (aka the lovely Mrs. Binning) escorted me around to some lovely scenic parks and overlooks. We did a little bit of hiking... and then a little shopping. We also visited the Frank Lloyd Wright building here in Marin County.Wow. Just Wow. The building is just MASSIVE but, still sort of close and cozy inside. A memorable experience.My other half is still working...
