Joe, EMM386 and QEMM386 allow 386/486 machines to use EXTENDED memory as EXPANDED memory. This requires the use of a page frame in the memory space between 640K and 1M. Expanded memory can be used by many programs such as Quattro to allow large amounts of data to be processed.…
#SLOWWWWW ACAD
Message #33621
Joe, In my experience, it's possible to get the SLOWWWWW ACAD problem with DOS5 even with NEWDX and/or QEMM. On my system, I have already run NEWDX. If I set up EMM386 or QEMM386 to provide EMS memory all is OK. If I disable EMS and use the memory manager…
#Plotter/Mouse Problem
Message #33616
Dave, The parity settings of the HP plotter can be changed but it involves setting tiny DIP switches on the back of the plotter. The plotter itself is shared among 3 users using a manual switch. The other two users require NO parity. I am running two applications that require…
David, I wonder why it keeps getting the wrong answer. BTW, who is John Intorcio? Ray
Dave, I get the plot size message even when plotting the extents of a drawing that I KNOW isn't too big. This happens with EVERY plot and the calculated plot size is almost an inch larger than the actual size. Exactly what information does AutoCad get from the plotter? HP…
Hmmm … Good idea! BTW, another bug. When TEDIT is used to move the text for a dimension with the arrows and the text outside the extension lines, the arrows are moved inside the extension lines. The only workaround I've found is to EXPLODE the dimension. This has two drawbacks.…
#Plot Questions
Message #28322
I am using R11C2 with a Hewlett Packard Draftpro 7575 DXL plotter and I have a couple of questions: 1. Every time I plot a full-page drawing, ACAD complains that the drawing is too large to fit and asks if I want to plot anyway. I answer YES and the…
#<> Error in Dim
Message #28321
I have found an annoying bug in R11C2. It occurs when using to add a suffix to a dimension. Specifically, I want to add "TYP" after a dimension with different plus and minus tolerances. What I end up with is the basic dimension, a large blank space, then the tolerances…
At any rate, I downloaded the "new new" Logitech mouse driver (6.0) and this seems to correct the problem. This is my fourth mouse driver upgrade in two years. While the upgrade solves compatibility problems with Windows 3.0 and DOS 5.0 it makes all the Logitech mouse utility software obsolete…
