09/24/12 - AutoCAD - FILEDIA SysVar

The first of many short screencasts covering some of the tips and tricks I've picked up working with various CAD and 3D software.

I recommend viewing these videos in full screen mode because they're pretty small by default.

This video covers an AutoCAD issue in which a user's standard visual 'Open File' dialog is replaced with a text string requesting that the user manually type in a full path.

Questions, comments and topic suggestions are always welcome at brendan.thompson@bct3d.com.

11/04/12 - AutoCAD - Where is my .ctb file?

I recommend viewing these videos in full screen mode because they're pretty small by default.

This video covers an AutoCAD issue in which a drawing file does not recognize a .ctb (Color-dependent Plot Style Table) file although it's in the correct folder.
