Renwick, try disabling the cache memory controller with MODE MEMCACHE OFF. This is not necessary with Release 9 but has proved to be needed with 2.6. Optionally, simply upgrade to Release 9. =SM=

Tom, try putting DEVICE=ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file. That should fix it. (Don't forget to have the file ANSI.SYS present in your root directory.) =SM=

Joe, it should work if you configure your display device as CGA and your rendering display device as PGA. =SM=

Ray, contact Vectrix at 919-288-0520, I believe they have (or are working on) an ADI driver to support Release 9 AUI features on that board. =SM=

Seymour, you have some sort of hardware problem. If the graphics board is Hercules brand (not a Herc clone) then it is *probably* OK. The monitor may be the culprit. Perhaps your dealer might be of assistance in tracking this down. =SM=

Six serial ports?! Wow! Welllll, the address of the port is located in the ACAD.CFG file, not the overlay file – if you want to dive in there with Debug, go for it, but I'm afraid I can't offer any assistance on that. I just don't have the information and…

Mark, if you get "out of node space", you probably have an inadequate LISPHEAP setting. Read up on LISPHEAP and LISPSTACK in the Installation and Performance Guide. Try SET LISPHEAP=39000 and SET LISPSTACK=5000. =SM=

Joe, the 7221A is not supported but I hear there is a conversion kit available from HP that will allow it to function with AutoCAD. You might give them a jingle at 619-592-8080 (San Diego Division). =SM=

Seymour, what kind of graphics board is in this Fountain 236? Sounds like there is something that isn't "compatible". Personally, I've never heard of Fountain (however, until recently I never heard of Maury Povich, either). =SM=

Z-100 AutoCAD ports
Message #21401
Dale, look in the Installation Guide at the beginning of Chapter 5, "Digitizer Options". It only describes ports A & B, and the differences in pin configuration between them (special cabling may need to be done if you're having problems here). Apparently only two ports (A & B) are supported,…

Steve, there is no command or LISP program to do this (that I know of) but it wouldn't be too hard to write one. Assuming you have AutoCAD Release 9, you would use the SSGET "X" function to get a "selection set" of LINEs on a certain layer (or that…
Erol, you must not have seen Jamie's and Brad's previous replies (#'s 20795 & 20821) to your earlier message (#20786). Yes, this is a known "problem" that is on the wishlist, and the workaround is to partition the drive to 100 MB or less. =SM=
Mike, you're exactly right: any change to the prototype drawing (ACAD.DWG unless specified otherwise) will cause DXFIN to warn you that it is not a "new" drawing. One way around this is to begin a new drawing and enter a "=" after the filename. For example, if your new drawing…
Bob, the program called AutoSIG (also known as ATO) is great for message management, most of us here at Autodesk use it. It is a public domain program that you can download from the IBMCOM Forum. It has a function "T" (for "Thread") that downloads all messages and replies starting…
There are a couple different ways, Angus: 1) In each DL there is a file called BRO-#.ARC (#= number of the DL) which is a "browse" (list/description) of all the files in that DL. To read this "binary" file, you must download it and de-compress it with an un-arcing utility…
The HP Laserjet Series II is supported by AutoCAD Release 9. Perhaps you need to upgrade to this version? =SM=
There are no announced plans for a 386-specific version of AutoCAD. The current version runs quite briskly on 386 machines. Yes, you can customize the AEC menu to include pop-down menus. Either create your own, or you can cut-and-paste from the ACAD menu to the AEC menu. =SM=
Michael, you may also need to download some "movies" (.MOV files) to "project". If you just enter "AFEGA" at the DOS prompt, the program will display a message showing command-line syntax and options. The simplest way to run the projector part of the program is to enter "AFEGA [FILE]" at…

Dimentioning lines
Message #21278
George, dimensions are drawn with the linetype of the layer it is being drawn on, unless the LINETYPE: command was used to specify a certain linetype regardless of layer. If you have a user-defined linetype, either draw your dimensions on a layer that has been assigned that linetype (be sure…

Herc Troubles
Message #21277
John, the PC Ltd machine should work, but the clone Herc card sounds like its not fully compatible. There is no special driver for that machine. My advice is to get a different graphics board. To "officially" transfer a registration requires that the original owner write a letter to Autodesk…

Z-100 AutoCAD ports
Message #21276
Dale, task 2 of AutoCAD's "Configuration" menu is "Allow I/O port configuration". If you toggle this to "yes", AutoCAD will ask you which port to use when you configure peripherals. I think this is what you're looking for. If not, let me know. =SM=

7220A HP PLOTTER
Message #21243
Joe, the HP driver supplied with AutoCAD supports the 7220(A), see the AutoCAD Installation and Performance Guide. If your cable is wired correctly and the communications parameters are set right (2400 baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity), it should work. What happens when you try it? =SM=

AutoLISP
Message #21228
You're welcome, Lewis, glad to be of assistance! (By the way, if you deleted my reply, please don't do so in the future – others on the Forum might also benefit from seeing the replies, or possibly correct / add to them.) Happy LISPing, =SM=

NEC 24pin
Message #21227
Jimmy, if you upgrade to AutoCAD Release 9, there is a driver for the NEC cp5 that should also work with the p6 and p7. Otherwise, drivers are available from Limburg Engineering Associates (213-820-3359) or CodeLab (509-838-5535). =SM=
