Over the weekend I referenced the fabulous e-Learning that's available for free as part of the Subscription Program...and yes...I do work for Autodesk so obviously I am biased - but I have to tell you it's a great benefit of Subscription that I don't think enough of you are taking advantage of. I, myself, am guilty of the charge! So today's Hip Tip is a direct result of my taking one of the e-learning modules.
An AutoCAD Hip Tip on Dynamic Input (AutoCAD 2006):
Many of you have fully embraced the new Dynamic Input in AutoCAD 2006. For those of you who have - I thought this minor little detail could really help you out. By default, AutoCAD will use relative input as you are drawing as seen below. The distance and angle are relative to the last point.
But what if you would like to switch it over to absolute coordinates on the fly? Simply enter the "#" number symbol and you'll see that the input automatically switches to absolute as seen below.
Here's hoping this Hip Tip will help you out!
