    outline only of a solid

    We're running 3D mouldings around a room and cabinets. They're drawn by using a 2D profile block and then extruding (this is done automatically in our drafting/machining program, Microvellum). The problem is that there are too many contour lines that show, even when Hide is used. In fact, there...

    text being hidden

    Is the problem the layer the text has been put on? Mine ends up on 2D_Text, perhaps due to the third party application I'm running (Microvellum). Is anyone who is running straight ACAD have their text end up on a different layer?

    layer manager question

    Seems to be in the Layer States. I'll give that a try. Johnny

    layer manager question

    This must be simple but I've been wresting with ACAD for a while. We want to have options of what layers to show in some situations and not others. We have, say, base and uppers cabinet layers. I want to be able to choose "Uppers" in, I guess, Property Manager, and have the base layer not be...

    text being hidden

    Man, this is exasperating! Text no thickness, hidetext on OFF or 0 (or ON or 1), still becomes obscured. I went through the text style manager but no setttings that look like they apply. Others using the same add-on program (Microvellum) don't seem to have a problem. I wonder what setting I've...

    text being hidden

    Even though I've set the HIDETEXT command to OFF (actually, it doensn't seem to matter, OFF or ON), text that is placed behind a 3D solid is still being hidden when that view is chosen. I thought that was what the HIDETEXT command was all about it. Am I missing something? Johnny

    low volume on voice mail messages

    Chris - Thanks. I knew it was old but it came with the system via auction for a good price. You say the volume setting is system wide. Where is that? At least I may be able to bump everything up. Thanks again. Love these forums. Chris Sideris Sacramento Cabinet & Millwork, Inc.

    low volume on voice mail messages

    We're using a Partner Plus v 4.0 although is has a VS Mail 1.0 module. On SOME of our voice mail messages (such as from my Nextel phone) the volume upon playback is very low. Any settings to check or alter? Thanks. Also, are there no forwarding of voice mail message to other mailboxes in...

    unable to zoom out far enough

    Sometimes I'll start a new drawing and try to draw a line that is, say, 100 inches long. The line goes off the screen cause it's longer than the display is currently wide. I try to zoom or pan out with the mouse but I can't go past a certain screen size. It's like I butt up against a wall or...

    partner plus 4.0 losing settings?

    Thanks. Where can I find a new battery and how long will it save the settings?

    partner plus 4.0 losing settings?

    I've recently installed a used Partner Plus 4.0 system. When power is removed from the system it loses ALL of its settings. Is there supposed to be a battery backup or some read-only memory? We'll have the whole system on a UPS when I do the final setup but I was surprised to find that when I...

    accessing Partner Voicemail VS 1.0

    Thanks so much. Yep, that #505 was the ticket. Made sure I wrote down 32 and 33 in the manual.

    accessing Partner Voicemail VS 1.0

    I bought a used Partner Plus phone system recently for our new shop. I'm installing it and the phones seem to work fine but I can't get into voicemail. My manual says hit Intercom 777 but all it does is ring with no answer. The green power light on the module is lit. Clues: with Voicemail module...
