As you have probably noticed, I have changed the theme used on this blog. You may see some more minor changes to the layout over the next few days. If there’s anything you don’t like about the new theme, please say so.
 21 April 2011, 8:53 pm |  8 comments | Tags: Blog Layout, Theme | Category: Announcement, Comments, Web Stuff One of the less obvious features introduced by AutoCAD 2012 is the Autoloader mechanism that has been provided to make installation of plug-ins (current standard Autodeskspeak for add-ons, apps, utilities, routines, etc.) easier for both developers and users. It may not be immediately obvious, but it’s a useful and important addition. This mechanism has [...] 20 April 2011, 5:29 pm | 16 comments | Tags: Autoloader, Plug-in, Startup | Category: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2012, ClassicArray, Customisation, Development, Interoperability, LISP, Other Autodesk Products, Win The most popular post on this blog, in terms of both hits and comments, is AutoCAD 2009 – Putting things back to “normal”. This is followed by AutoCAD 2010 – Putting things back to “normal”, with AutoCAD 2011 – Putting things back to “normal” not too far behind. As it seems many people find [...] 14 April 2011, 9:28 pm | 148 comments | Tags: AutoCAD 2012, Tip, User Interface | Category: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2012, ClassicArray, Nostalgia, Other Autodesk Products, Performance, Tip I have now posted the second Release Candidate of ClassicArray™ (version number 0.7.0). The main changes from the first Release Candidate (0.6.0) are: Help documentation, which you can also view here, now describes how to resolve an AutoCAD CUIx loading problem. (The problem is not specific to ClassicArray and can affect any CUIx file [...] 14 April 2011, 1:11 pm | Comments are closed | Tags: Beta software, ClassicArray | Category: Announcement, AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2012, ClassicArray, Development I have just posted the Release Candidate of ClassicArray™ (version number 0.6.0). The main changes from Beta 2 (0.5.0) are: Setup executables have been provided to provide easier installation and uninstallation. Pretty comprehensive Help documentation is now in place, which you can also view here if you want to learn about the product without [...] 9 April 2011, 11:23 am | Comments are closed | Tags: Beta software, Bloat, ClassicArray, Download, Irony, Release Candidate | Category: Announcement, AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2012, ClassicArray, Development, Fun One of the things that most pleases me about this blog is the amount of comments it gets. I’m sure there are several AutoCAD-related blogs that are much more frequently visited than this one, especially the Autodesk ones. However, I’m not aware of another AutoCAD blog with the volume of comments I see here.

It may be ridiculous and hard to believe, but unfortunately it’s all true. After I managed to overcome Autodesk’s obstructive download manger and download AutoCAD 2012, it became available on the Subscription site (when that site wasn’t running unusably slowly). Or it became kind-of available.

This will be welcome news to those of you who have discovered that AutoCAD crashes when using Copy/Paste after installing the 10.6.7 OS X update. If you haven’t applied Update 1 yet, you will need to do that [...] 1 April 2011, 10:50 am |  One comment | Tags: AutoCAD for Mac, Copy, Crash, Paste, Update | Category: Apple, AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2011, Bug, Other Blogs |

3DConnexion device support in AutoCAD
Do you have a 3DConnexion device (3D ‘mouse’) and use it in AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based products? What do you think of the way it works in the most recent releases of AutoCAD?
From AutoCAD 2011 on, Autodesk provided built-in support for these devices. Has that made things better or worse than in earlier releases? [...]
