#Lynda autocad lisp for mac#
It’s not really even an AutoCAD for Mac function, but one built in to Mac OS X.
I had a user ask me last week “That’s a really handy feature, why can’t I do that in the Mac version?” Well, actually, that feature has been available on the Mac side since the first version 4 years ago. An option like this makes it so much easier than opening Explorer and navigating from scratch. pdf’s, images of the site, Excel bill of materials, etc. When I’m working in a drawing I often need to look at other files pertaining to the DWG file.
#Lynda autocad lisp series#
Why so happy you might ask? Most firms I’ve worked for use a fairly expansive series of folders to manage their projects. At one point I even added a lisp routine to my AutoCAD setup that allowed me to accomplish this, so I was quite happy that by simply right-clicking on the tab, you can choose “Open File Location” and an explorer window will open at the files location. This may seam like a simple addition but it is one I’ve welcomed with open arms. This tab system allows for simple and quick drawing switching and also added the convenience of opening the parent folder of the current drawing.
In AutoCAD 2014, a new tab bar was added to the drawing interface.
