Today’s 10 second Tip of the Week is: Pasting as a Block

if you're like me, every once in a while you will have a number of individual objects you'd like to copy.


However, after you copy them, you might not want them acting as individual objects for various reasons.

Simply paste them as a block!


Select all the objects you'd like to copy. Press [Control "C"] to copy them. Now type in [PB] and then Enter, and you'll have all those objects pasted as one block!

"I wanna P-line, and a Door, and a Dimension." " You'll select nothing, and like it!"

Denim Jackets!!!it's getting colder, the leaves are about to start falling, and it's about time to start thinking about fall jackets, and nothing says, "hey, i want to keep warm and make a statement at the same time, why don't i wrap myself in denim"

so while you're out there looking for "that" look this fall, don't forget about those denim jean jackets. and keep in mind, i'm not only sponsored my denim jackets, i'm also a client.

Today’s 10 second Tip of the Week is: the [de-select] command

if you're like me, every once in a while you select a bunch of stuff you don't want, just to grab a few things.

After selecting, simply hold down shift and alt, and "de-select" the objects you don't want.

To "re-select" an object or select a new object during the command, simply hold down just alt.

Pushed to the Edge

this week's [tip of the week] is brought to you by:

Pluto
why pluto? well it's because we all get pushed to the edge sometimes, and last week "pluto" reached his edge point. Some punk kid, kicked this lovable character right in the planets. Pluto then proceeded to chase the kid down, however he was unable to catch the kid and inflict any much needed punishment. too bad......

Today’s 10 second Tip of the Week is: the [ edgemode] command

if you're like me, every once in a while you use the trim command. well here's a little tip that some of you might like.

when trimming you usually trim using intersecting lines. However you can also trim using implied lines. To change this simply type in [edgemode].

you will then be prompted to type in a 1, or 0.

O = the line must intersect to act as a trim line.

1 = the line can be an implied intersection.

Hope this helps you from going "pluto" on anyone today.

It's the little things...

Miss Teen South Carolina herself: Lauren Caitlin!

Question: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map. Why do you think this is?

Miss Teen South Carolina: "I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh...people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and...I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our...children

Bona Fide [refedit]

this week's "ten second tip of the week" is brought to you by:

Operating under the assumption that by procuring alcohol for an upcoming party they will finally be able to break their longstanding losing streak with the fairer sex, socially inept high school seniors Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) set out to secure the adult beverages that could get them off of the geek list before they even attend college orientation. Evan is a bright young student whose outward sweetness belies his suffocating fear of heading off to college without his lifelong best friend Seth - a hormone-driven mischief-maker who wasn't accepted to the same school as Evan. But Evan and Seth both know that college is a place of personal reinvention, and that if they are able to make that first leap together they will have forged a bond powerful enough to last a lifetime. Meanwhile, Evan and Seth's friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) acquires a hastily rendered fake I.D. that instantly endears him to a pair of truly irresponsible cops (Bill Hader and Seth Rogen). Penned by co-star Rogen in collaboration with former Da Ali G Show co-writer Evan Goldberg, the semi-autobiographical SuperBad was produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Greg Mottola - who previously helmed episodes of Undeclared and Arrested Development. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Now I hate recommending movies to people, however, I do believe that if some of your favorite comedies include, but not limited to:

Animal House
Caddyshack
Old School
Wedding Crashers
Dumb and Dumber
16 Candles
Bridges of Madison County

You’ll want to see “SUPERBAD” for yourself.

Today’s 10 second Tip of the Week is: that is Bona Fide [refedit]

I’m pretty sure this is one of those tips that everyone else knew about and I just found out about, but let’s try it anyway. Now if you’re like me you have a few x-references in your drawings. I use to go back to the drawings the x-ref was in and make the changes, however a co-worker pointed out that I can simply click on the x-ref’ed drawing, and type in [refedit]. This allows you to fix the referenced drawing right where it is! I tell you, I’m “mcloving” this one. I might even go as far as saying it's “superbad”.

Don't be so Square

Today’s 10 second Tip of the Week is: the [ WPolygon ] and the [CPolygon] command

Now if you’re like me, every once in a while you'd like to use a different shape, other then the default square you get when selecting objects.

Now you can!

After typing in a command such as [copy] or [move], you have the option to select objects using a polygon. this is basically so you can narrow down and really select only the object you really want.

one option is the WPolygon command. after typing in a command simply type [wp] and you will have the option to create a polygon and select everything within the lines. after creating your shape hit return, and those object will be selected.

the other options is the CPolygon command. after typing in a command type in [cp] and you will be allowed to create a polygon and select everything that crosses the lines. after creating your shape hit return and those objects will be selected.

now that you know the steps, get out there and practice. don't be so square.
