SubscribeWe've been hitting a town a day here in Australia (it's a pretty tough schedule)...seen lots of airports and hotel rooms, not much of Australia! Today's event was in the Sydney Olympic Park- a beautiful site.
So I just have enough time for a quick AutoCAD tip today before I have to run and catch my next flight to Brisbane...
Letting the Command Prompt do the Searching for you:
Have you ever forgotten the name of an AutoCAD system variable? What do you normally do - search through the list of system variables in help? Or do you go into the SETVAR command and list them all out? AutoCAD 2006 allows you to be extra lazy (something I definitely support whenever possible in AutoCAD). Just key in the starting characters of the system variable (as much as you know) and then hit the tab key. AutoCAD will cycle through all of the commands and system variables that start with those characters until you get to the one you want! Gotta love it...
You can also use this just to save a few character strokes (don't want to burn off too many calories!). I've got to run my flight is leaving!
