AutoCAD LT Users using Diesel macros...

[Tyke]

As I recall there were one or two other LT add-ons in the past but apparently AutoDesk managed to drive them out of business. I can't recall exactly what happened though. Anybody recall?

 

There was a thread about a week or so ago, if I remember correctly, where this was raised. There was a guy in Berlin called Thorsten Moses who had the "LT Extender" which allowed LISP to be run in LT, but Autodesk came down on him and he took the product off the market, but not willingly. Not sure what he's doing now.

I heard they got sued because of those programs... I imagine the same will happen with "cadsta" before too long.

Quick...buy now before CADSTA has a stake driven through its heart by AutoDesk!

I am just now realizing how much help it is by me slowly learning how to do this.

Where can I get Diesel Macros or is it off the market

[Matsui21]

what kind of diesel macros are you looking for?

[Diesel]

Is there a way to auto number Sheets. EX:

 

Sheet No: 1 of 42

Sheet No: 2 of 42

 

And so on, I want the sheet number to change every time I add a layout. I Also use SSM if it can be don in this as well. I currently have the sheet No: as a CurrentSheetCustom in SSM.

 

Thanks

Learning doesn't take long, it's the problem solving that takes forever. If you have a problem with one all you really have is the command line to let you know where you went wrong. After that it's guesswork.

that is a very good point Tuns
