I have my temp directory set to d:/acadtemp so all my sv$ dwl1&2 ac$ files go there and have a clean up bat that is called from the CMD line of windows. I would not delete bak files until really sure that a project is all done.
I use notepad ++ and often just paste into plain notepad to stop bugs like this. Using word is a big No NO writing lips code as so many hidden characters get created so again paste to notepad from WORD and then save.
I use word as you can do repla…
If you export The TIN as 3dfaces can redo a new TIN based on 3dfaces with exaggerated Z's. Have done in the past. Some of the add on software has a exaggerate factor for display.
Like wise dynamic blocks allow for a wealth of changes, using in simple terms constraints.
have a look at what David Bethel FDI, has done he uses lisp to make 3d models complete industrial kitchens. A different way of generating the cabinetry, what…
Whilst Terry has provided excellent help have you looked at exporting the TIN as 3dfaces, were external clients were involved found this to be very reliable as other software could read 3dfaces and recreate a TIN if required.
A side note found expo…
This was done like 30 years ago prior to Autocad Architecture, If your serious about comparing then you need to look further what about Archicad and there are others out there.
I used the lisp method we had 8pc's, would load Autocad, then just run the lisp, I had a script for each user which had their toolbar choices, as they were different. Then would make and set a workspace as user name, this was really handy a few time…
Using OBDX can you open set the save as 2004 its a variable, then save. Not sure as have not used OBDX.
In Autocad would run accoreconsole.

Its a fairly straight forward dcl and while it does not auto could be changed for a custom version, I check strlen of text lines so change the dcl width = to suit. Maybe change to Alert.
If your debugging change the path for the dcl output to a known directory you open the dcl then and inspect etc I have had dcl with missing } etc. When it all works change back to mktemp
4K monitor ? As PC resolution goes up text gets smaller, there is a multiplier you can use I have mine set to 125%. Its in windows display settings will try to find, I think there is something in the register also that can be changed.
Like Owen our laptops have 2 icons a remote and a office icon Just copy desktop icon and right click look under "properties" can change the label as well. Edit the Target. Used with Autocad this way for years.
A vertical toolbar does not take up much space and can have lots of options, you can have a "FLYOUT" which is a sub menu of a toolbar so 1 icon opens to 10 choices.
Just a quicky saved blank dwg got size, added 2000 "POINT" compared and got 13 Bytes per point. So it went from 13kb to 40kb. So a triangle is 3 points of data maybe more so my quick calc using 107k points * 4 * 2 = 120mb obviously more info saved s…
