Hi there reltayeb

Using AutoCAD alone you can not actually make a presentation with the requirement mentioned above, however there are a few presentation software out  there that could help you do what you need;

For example you could do a power-point presentation and design the graphs you would like using the built in graphing functions then import your DWF file into Power Point

Here’s how to import a DWF

1)  First you need to create a DWF out of the drawing file(s) you wish to load into Powerpoint.  If you aren’t on a fairly recent release of AutoCAD, or want to create a DWF out of a non-Autodesk product you can download the free DWF Writer from autodesk.com/dwf.

2)  Download the free dwf viewer (don’t you just love free?) from autodesk.com/dwf.

3)  On the slide you wish to insert the drawing file(s), select Object from the Insert pull-down menu.  Select Autodesk DWF Viewer Control from the dialog box.  A DWF object icon will appear in the middle of the slide.

4)  Now you need to tell Powerpoint which DWF file you want to view.  Right click on the icon, and select DWF Viewer Control, Properties from the shortcut menu.  Use the browse button to select the desired DWF.

Note:  You will not see your drawing unless the powerpoint is in Slide Show mode.

You’ll find that you can zoom, pan, and cycle through the different pages of the DWF file all within your powerpoint presentation !

Hi there Tamer,

What are your current system specs,

if your processor supports multiple cores we’ll enable the multi threading option and I promise you’ll be racing through tasks.

Cheers 🙂

Hi there Super User,

What kind of printer do you have?

Also have you tried downloading the latest device drivers?

You can flip objects about a specified axis to create a symmetrical mirror image. (MIRROR Command)

You flip objects about an axis called a mirror line to create a mirror image. To specify this temporary mirror line, you enter two points. You can choose whether to erase or retain the original objects.

By default, when you mirror text, hatches, attributes, and attribute definitions, they are not reversed or turned upside down in the mirror image. The text has the same alignment and justification as before the object was mirrored. If you do want text to be reversed, set the MIRRTEXT system variable to 1.

MIRRTEXT affects text that is created with the TEXT, ATTDEF, or MTEXT commands; attribute definitions; and variable attributes. Text and constant attributes that are part of an inserted block are reversed when the block is mirrored regardless of the value of MIRRTEXT.

MIRRHATCH affects hatch objects created with the GRADIENT or HATCH commands. Use the MIRRHATCH system variable control whether hatch pattern direction is mirrored or retained.

Well, a good rule of thumb is to draw all your drawings scale 1:1

then you might ask “My drawing is a building; and is too big to be drawn 1:1” but you can change your viewport scale from:

1. Click the border of the viewport whose scale you want to modify.
2. Right-click, and then choose Properties.
3. In the Properties palette, select Standard Scale, and then select a new scale from the list.

when plotting choose the scale according to your own required scale, there’s no “right” or wrong here but there are a few limitations such as paper size; whole drawing size, etc….

• You can find the scale options from Model Space, Scale inside plot box.

Hi there maroun, (Cool Name :))

Let me clarify this, you have drawn a drawing in AutoCAD and forgot which scale you used, but now you need to export and need to write the right scale, is this correct?

Hey there KMWilson,

What’s the make and model of your laptop?

Hi again,

I have been searching around

maybe if we change the dynamic settings(Where the Dynamic Prompt box appears) this might help, here’s how:

Use the Command

DYNMODE = 3

Here’s the whole table on all options:

0 ->All Dynamic Input features, including dynamic prompts, off

1->Pointer input on

2->Dimensional input on

3->Both pointer input and dimensional input on

Cheers 🙂

Hi there CivilTekton and welcome to CAD Answers,

I’d suggest you first try to disable the suggestion list and re-enable it.

here’s how:

1. In the command window, click Customize button > Input Settings.
2. On the Input Settings list, uncheck:
   • AutoComplete.
3. Restart AutoCAD.
4. Re-enable Autocomplete using same procedure above.

if that doesn’t work try to reset AutoCAD settings to defaults here’s how:

Each user account on a system will have its own AutoCAD settings. Resetting to defaults will only affect the currently active user account. To reset in a different account, you must first log in to that user.

For most versions of AutoCAD 2012 and later (including AutoCAD-based vertical products), the reset utility can be found in the AutoCAD program group located in the Windows Start Menu. The reset utility gives you the option to back-up your settings first. Once the reset is complete, AutoCAD automatically opens and initiates its secondary installer. For AutoCAD 2011 and older (and versions that do not have the reset utility), a manual reset must be done to reinitiate the secondary installer (see Reinitiating the Secondary Installer for AutoCAD).

Windows 7:

• Start menu > All Programs > Autodesk > AutoCAD 201x > Reset Settings To Default.

Windows 8:

1. Click the Windows button to access the Start Screen.
2. Right-click the bottom of the screen.
3. Click the down arrow to access all the installed apps.
4. In the AutoCAD section, click “Reset Settings to Default.”

Windows 8.1:

1. Click the Windows button to access the Start Screen.
2. Move your cursor down and click the down arrow to access all the installed apps.
3. In the AutoCAD section, click “Reset Settings to Default.”

Windows 10:

• Start menu > AutoCAD 201x > Reset Settings To Default.

Note: The reset utility specifically for AutoCAD 2016 is found under Start menu > Autodesk.Prior to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update:

1. Click the Windows button to access the Start menu.
2. Click ‘All Apps’
3. Click the down arrow to expand ‘Autodesk’.
4. Scroll down and click on ‘Reset 201x Settings To Default’.

Mac OS:

There are multiple ways to get to the reset option in AutoCAD for Mac.To reset only the palettes in AutoCAD:

• In AutoCAD for Mac, click the Window menu and choose Reset Palettes or enter RESETPALETTES on the command line.

To reset the entire program:

• In AutoCAD for Mac 2014 SP1 and newer, hold down the Shift key while starting AutoCAD for Mac.
• In AutoCAD for Mac 2015 and newer, click the AutoCAD menu and choose the reset option.

• For all versions of AutoCAD for Mac:

1. Click Preferences under the AutoCAD menu.
2. Click the Application tab.
3. Click the button “Reset Application Options.”
4. Click “Reset AutoCAD.”

Hi there KMWilson,

Let’s try to turn off windows key filtering

Adjust long delay in keystrokes appearing due to Windows FilterKeys

Here’s how: (Copied from Microsoft support)

Please do tell me how it goes.
