The classic workspace no longer ships with AutoCAD. Using this Lisp you can easily recreate the AutoCAD Classic workspace. As much as we older types resort to the way we "used to do it" I suggest that you learn the newer UI instead of reset to the classic-style interface. However, if you really want to go there try these settings/steps: Manual Mode ========== MENUBAR = 1 Tools > toolbars > acad > layers hoover over layers toolbar > right click > properties  hoover over any toolbar > right click > standard  hoover over any toolbar > right click > styles hoover over any toolbar > right click > workspaces  RIBBONCLOSE  arrange toolbars  workspace, saveas, Classic Automatic Mode ============ 1. Load the LISP 2. Type "CLASSIC" 3. Done 4. To Restore to Original Ribbon Mode Type "ORIGINAL"

To improve AutoCAD performance you can tweak some settings related to the operating system and your hardware. But apart from making these changes, there are also some default settings which can be changed using system variables to visibly enhance the performance of AutoCAD. In this article, I have listed such system variables. TOOLTIPS ======== This variable is set to 1 as default which will show tooltips when you hover your cursor over a tool. To improve the performance you can turn off these tooltips by changing TOOLTIPS system variable value to 0. ROLLOVERTIPS ============ If the ROLLOVERTIPS system variable is set to 1 and you hover your cursor over an object in the drawing area then a tooltip will appear which will show a small list of the object properties. Make this variable 0 to increase speed when working with large drawings. SELECTIONPREVIEW ================ By default, the value of SELECTIONPREVIEW system variable is set to 3, which allows a preview of th...

A slope describes the steepness of a line. It is also known as gradient. The slope or gradient of a straight line can be calculated when  points (Level 1) and (Level 2) are given. In this calculator, you can find the slope and equation of the straight line with two given points (two point slope form).  What is new in Ver. 2.1  Tangentangent of a Circle Calculator  A tangent intersects a circle in exactly one place. It is a line which touches a circle or ellipse at just one point. The square of the length of tangent segment equals to the difference of the square of length of the radius and square of the distance between circle center and exterior point. Length of the tangent from a point can be calculated from circle radius and angle using this Tangent of a Circle Calculator.

1. Load the LISP using APPLOAD command (AP) 2. Draw or select a line along the longest side of the property, building, etc.  3. Type "ROD" command to activate the lisp. 4. Select the line or object. 5. Done "This can also be done in a viewport without affecting model space, but you will need to reset the VP scale." Notes : Rotating your UCS to an object is a very quick way to rotate your drawing's view so that it is aligned with a major object in your drawing. This works very well when you want to rotate the view in a viewport. It is instant and it rotates the view to the angle of the object you select. To put things back to normal, type PLAN on the Command line and choose WORLD, then type UCS and select WORLD.

This program creates a user command that will quickly remove formatting applied to individual characters and words inside Mtext objects. StripMtext can remove the following types of formatting: Alignment  Color  Font Height  Underscore  Overscore  Linefeed (Paragraph Return)  Obliquing  Stacking  Tracking  Width  Non-breaking Space StripMtext does not modify Mtext properties such as style, justification, width, and rotation.  Nor does it manipulate inherited properties such as layer, entity color, etc. Note: Removing Mtext formatting is a very complex procedure.  This program has been designed to safely remove formatting but no guarantee exist.  Until you become familiar with StripMtext, please save your drawing before using.  If you do not like the results, you can immediatly issue an Undo command to restore your Mtext to its prior condition.  You are encouraged to spend a few minu...

 This program enables the user to generate one or more closed          polylines or regions outlining all objects in a selection.                                                                                  Following a valid selection, the program calculates the overall       rectangular extents of all selected objects and constructs a          temporary rectangular polyline offset outside of such extents.                                                                              Using a...

TreeComp is an interactive utility to keep 2 directory trees and the files within the directories in sync. The combined tree is displayed using a treeview control with icons indicating the status per directory. Programs to view the differences (i.e. Microsoft's WinDiff or WinMerge) between files with the same name can be launched by double-clicking, as well as editors for a file residing in one of the 2 trees. After inspection files can be copied/deleted interactively as desired. In our organization we view this program as an indispensable tool that is far beyond xcopy /s /e. TreeComp should work on all versions of Windows (95/98/NT 4/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016). Credits : https://lploeger.home.xs4all.nl/TreeComp3.htm#intro

Convert Unicode to ML is a small utility designed to convert Unicode Malayalam fonts to ISM ML fonts. It is very simple to use. After opening the software You want to copy and paste the unicode text on the left Textbox and press convert button to convert. The converted text will appear in right Textbox. You can then copy that text and use in other windows applications. Courtesy :
