CADMabel: Thank you. I just upgraded from 19.1 to 19.2.15 this morning. I figured it had something to do with the new software.
I was accustomed to holding down the mouse button for the entirety of the move. Now I'll just click the move rods instea…
Went to settings to find out what number to assign to the variable. It appears 1 is for 3D.
I checked the box for 3D and keyed in the command to see the current setting. It's 1.
Doesn't work. I picked a solid and initiated a copy and the ghost is…
Michael: I looked up DMMove, etc to see if there was a hint of a setting or keystroke but found nothing. A document search for 'move' in the offline docs returns too many hits to follow.
I arbitrarily called the moving image the 'ghost' image but I…
CADMabel: I watched the video and saw how you used the Manipulator to move the triangle. Thank you for waking me up to the possibility of using the Manipulator and using my vision to place the item. I was trying to figure out how to do it with grips…
ScottS: I never heard of 'point filters' before.
I followed your detailed example and it did exactly what I wanted. I'm going to research 'point filters' to get an education and possibly stumble across some other top secrets you guys know.
Thank …
I do use the Manipulator periodically to move things in a particular X, Y or Z direction. I really like it's repeat copy functionality.
I have yet to use it for rotations or mirrors because I didn't associate the Manipulator with those tasks even t…
It never occurred to me to leave out the '-'.
I tried y, Y, y-z, Y-Z, y-z plane, etc and none of them worked. I assumed one needed to key in some portion of the sequence as presented in the options list to get it to work.
Since none of the hot cha…
I'm on V19 Ubuntu 18.04. My CAD skills are near nonexistent as is evidenced by the threads I've started. I'm grateful for the support I've received from the forum users. Again, Thank You.
I get the impression that Bricsys Linux support isn't as goo…
Wiebe: I've written software in 22 computer languages but I can't identify what you provided. Not only that, I have no idea where to put it to get it to run or how to call it up. I'm just too BricsCAD ignorant at this point.
I'm not ready to delve…
Jason: Thank you for the explanation.
So, to reiterate, .bak files are NOT part of the autosave mechanism, but the .SV$ files are.
A .bak file represents the previous generation of a manually saved drawing and is placed along side the drawing file…
Bricscad crashing/freezing/disappearing but Lookfrom stays on screen.
That means it's a separate application as far as Linux is concerned. That's what I mentioned in my post. Every so often, the lookfrom vanishes from within BricsCAD and if I use L…
I just exited BricsCAD and started it up again and noticed that the fog/shadow was gone so I took a print screen of it.
As I work the text eventually disappears. That smells like an invalid memory pointer issue.
I'm on V19 Ubuntu 18.04 and the fog / shadow suddenly disappeared and I could actually read the text for the various lookfrom positions as I hovered the moused over the control.
Then the fog / shadow came back. I have no idea what I did or why it s…
Michael, Roy:
I finally got it to work as you described. For the longest time, the CTRL key was doing absolutely nothing.
I then remembered I had a mouse pointer locator installed under Ubuntu Linux that was activated by the CTRL key. Every time I…
I was finally able to download a copy last night. I tried numerous times during the day on Chrome and Firefox under Linux and Chrome under Android and all failed.
The mode of failure is what attracted my attention. Usually a download will show some…
I just looked up 'Marquee' in BricsCAD and got no hits so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Your use of 'vertices' is much better that my use of 'grips' as it's more accurate. Vertices is what I meant but couldn't think of the proper term.
I'…
Richard Webb: As I mentioned, my old app would move the grips within the window and leave any grips outside the window alone. And, yes, you could end up with some odd results if you didn't take precautions.
For any entity that straddles the dividin…
There is no path curve. All you have are two solids.
The method I outlined uses a crutch to allow DIVIDE to do the heavy lifting. I'm looking for something that can do it without creating a phony element.
Does such a method exist? That's the quest…
Robt:
I just tried again using a different browser (Firefox) with the same result.
I'm on Ubuntu Linux usually using Chrome as a browser.
What Operating System are you using?
Hint to tech support ...
When I was an active white hat hacker protecting my clients from SPAM, I used TMDA (Tagged Message Delivery Agent) to force a confirmation from the sender to release his/her/it's first email. Basically, the sender needs per…
Tijs said - "Right, sorry about that, I will eliminate that dependency asap."
I assume he means to fix the 'make' file and recompile the whole shebang.
There's no 'fixing' the current release short of recompiling and reissuing the product.
Any attempt to locate and supply the library, even if BricsCAD were to start, does not mean it's stable.
Sit back and wait for a proper fix. Don't start inst…
@Michael Mayer
I wrote software professionally for 40 years, the last 15 exclusively on Linux. Knowing your way around a command line is a benefit on any operating system.
Do a 'man tar' to get all the options for the tar command. Entering the le…
It would appear that the tar ball you have isn't an installation environment, but the actual execution environment from an install.
The best place to put the executable environment would probably be: /opt/bricsys/bricscad/v19/
I'd nuke whatever i…
Normally you cd to the destination directory and while sitting in that directory issue:
tar -xzvf /where/ever/the/tar/ball/is.tgz
Then typically look for an install script something.sh and run it.
