Since Autodesk is aware that a large number of AutoCAD users continue to use Windows XP, we are notifying customers about the impact to AutoCAD software products.<br /><br /><b>Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2014 is the final version of AutoCAD software* that will run on the Windows XP operating system.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #666666;">What this means for you: </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">AutoCAD 2014 is the final release that can be installed on the Windows XP operating system.</span><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">AutoCAD 2014 is the final version of AutoCAD that will be supported on Windows XP.</span><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;">If you have a currently supported version of AutoCAD on Windows XP, Autodesk will continue supporting your AutoCAD software through the "support life" of the product (Autodesk support is limited to the most current version and previous three versions of AutoCAD software).</span> </li>

OK I like FREE, I have downloaded and played with Nanocad for a few days now, and it is really exceptional value for money ;0). It's as good as IntelliCAD and better than A9Cad and if you are still playing with 2D then don't give Autodesk any more money for AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT check out NanoCAD at <a href="http://nanocad.com/"><span style="color: #009eb8;">http://nanocad.com/</span></a><br />
<br />
The interface is not the latest Ribbon and it has an AutoCAD Classic type interface but hell I started using AutoCAD at version 2.5 in DOS and still love the Classic windows 2004 interface. and it will run LISP routines - check out the Comparison Chart<br />
<br />
Then go download and play for FREE<br />

For this update, only the 2012 compatible technology preview was updated. This is even different from the 2012 update the team made in June of this year. In fact, this update is a complete rewrite that interfaces to Google Earth using a new Java Application Program Interface (API). The former version used the Microsoft COM API (// more), so we'd really like your feedback on this new version at labs.acad.google@autodesk.com or the AutoCAD 2012 discussion forum.<br />
<br />
As part of the rewrite, the extension now supports additional flavors of AutoCAD:<br />
<br />
•AutoCAD 2012 <br />
•AutoCAD Architecture 2012 <br />
•AutoCAD Map 3D 2012 <br />
•AutoCAD MEP 2012 <br />
•AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 <br />
•AutoCAD Plant 3D 2012 <br />
<br />
As before the list of capabilities includes:<br />
<br />
•Import a Google Earth image into AutoCAD <br />
•Publish your 3D model to Google Earth <br />
•Drape a Google Earth image onto a 3D mesh in AutoCAD <br />
•Attach time span information to your model <br />
<br />
but color is now supported. The former version was black and white. Color was the number 1 request on the survey feedback. The user interface has also been updated to let you work with Google Earth while remaining in AutoCAD.<br />
<br />
The read me for this update notes<br />
<br />
•AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 is not supported. <br />
•the Google Earth Extension may encounter problems when used with a proxy-server that requires authentication (i.e., user name and password). <br />
<br />

This underused command has been in AutoCAD for many releases and is certain to save you time while editing!<br /><br /><strong>Copy AutoCAD Layouts</strong></p><p>Using this feature that's been part of AutoCAD going back many releases, you can quickly and easily copy/import layout tabs from any existing DWG file into your current drawing.<br /><br /><strong>Using Tracking (TK) in AutoCAD</strong></p><p>Don't waste your time drawing construction lines. See how Tracking can save you extra steps in AutoCAD! (Works with AutoCAD 2009 and several previous releases.)<br /><br /><strong>Reverse Search for Xrefs</strong></p><p>We all know how to find the external references (xrefs) attached to an AutoCAD drawing -- but have you ever wanted to do the reverse -- that is, find all the drawing files a specific file is attached to? This tip will show you how!<br /><br /><strong>Customize AutoCAD's File Settings</strong></p><p>Use AutoCAD's File dialog box and the FILEDIA system variable to manage your files and maximize productivity. (Works with AutoCAD going back many versions.)<br /><br /><strong>Express Tools -- BlockReplace & Ncopy</strong></p><p>Use these handy features to replace one block definition with another in a drawing and copy nested objects. (Works in AutoCAD going back many releases.<br /><br /><strong>Restore Lost UI Elements</strong></p><p>AutoCAD dialog boxes, toolbars, and command lines gone missing -- it's an occasional problem for some users and more common for those who have dual monitors. Here's the fix.<br /><br /><strong>Tips for Tables</strong></p><p>Check out this batch of tips for AutoCAD tables, which have been around for several AutoCAD releases. Learn to use Autofill, which came along in AutoCAD 2008.<br /><br /><strong>Delete Layer Filters</strong></p><p>Too many layer filters in your AutoCAD drawings can really slow you down. Use these two commands to control the number of layer filters.<br /><br /><strong>DC Online and Autodesk Seek</strong></p><p>Use Design Center Online and the new Autodesk Seek to grab existing content from the Internet to incorporate in your drawings. (DC Online works with AutoCAD 2000 and later.)<br /><br /><strong>Maximize Viewports, Minimize Effort</strong></p><p>Quickly edit objects within a viewport without modifying the scale factor. (AutoCAD 2005 and later)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br

Fortunately, the procedure isn't as disgusting as it sounds.<br /><br />Many books tell you to clean the mouse ball, but the problem usually results from dirty mouse ball rollers. Here's how to clean them:<br /><br />1) Turn the mouse over and remove the little cover that keeps the ball from falling out<br />2) Remove the mouse ball. If it does happen to be dirty, clean it.<br />3) Look inside the hole where the mouse ball lives. You should see three little rollers, and they'll probably be caked with crud. Use a dull, non-abrasive object (e.g., the end of a small screwdriver or you finger nail if you can bear it.) to clean all of the crud off.<br />4) blow out the crud.<br />5) Replace the mouse ball and cover.<br />6) Whack the eraser dust, potato chip crumbs, and anything else off of your mouse pad (so that you don't have to perform this same procedure two days later).<br /><br />If the cursor still doesn't move smoothly, then you might have an obsolete or corrupted mouse driver, a defective mouse, or an IRQ conflict. In this case call IT support or chuck it away and buy an optical mouse.cadalothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09677438790709042867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516420565152807502.post-21986757301070095472009-02-15T09:22:00.000-08:002009-02-15T10:37:26.407-08:00Mark Middlebrook<strong>Power User Series</strong><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303076555194377202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 72px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 145px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPHiqA4Av3-YOBJHs-gDRwzMqWyZcgiaZ1wnXHgc_ZnPhdf-cZDewph5Ig3qJW1j44TfV9ZSvaNU22f85tglgxvKGpq3IoIr0ds6SjsFHR8jhvtB3loxl2UYrrw-CrQl1D_dZQgmReBJMW/s320/Mark_Middlebrook.jpg" border="0" />Mark Middlebrook is president of Daedalus Consulting in Oakland, California, and contributing editor of CADALYST.<br /><br />He is co-author of AutoCAD for Dummies and AutoCAD LT for Dummies, both from IDG Books.<br /><br />Marks <a href="http://www.markcad.com/">web site</a> has a number of tutorials and articles that are not available on the <a href="http://www.cadalyst.com/cadalyst/article/articleList.jsp?categoryId=3299">Cadalyst site</a>.
