Can someone tell me what determines how the icons/thumbnails look for new components?
i am trying to standardize how they look for future components and they all seem to be taken from different views or perspectives

Is there a way to delete the default library since i never use it
It would save me from having to change directories to my own library all the time

I watched that russian video and I see that this work around works, i just cant figure out what he is doing exactly, can someone help explain it to me, i see him using a tool I dont have on my screen and then clicking over some of the faces of the cube but not all of them..sucks being a noob

This is a tricky one
I use an extension called Estimator to help me calculate the area and cost of surfaces in my drawings.
To use the extension to its fullest, objects must be saved as components. I have created a dynamic component of a shower stall, when i query the estimator extension to calculate the square footage of the surfaces it uses the original non scaled dimensions, any scaling i do to the dynamic component gets ignored. so my question is, does any one know how to delete the history associated with a scaled object, i notice that if you right click on a scaled group or component there is an option to reset scale., can i make the modified size default in some way so the estimating extension will hopefully capture the correct surface square footage.
Thanks, i realize this is really specific

I have a surface pro and iam about to kill myself, so painful speed wise at times i wont to rip what little hair i have left straight out
OMG
I dont remember it being this slow at first but when i first started using the program i was just learning, so now my demands are getting more intense

case closed
thanks guys
i realized i was not reloading the component into the scene so the attributes were not assigned

Can you be explicit as to where the model tab or edit tab is
I cant find them, i do see entity info tab but there are no options there for glue

Is there a way to add "Glue" to an existing component
I do NOT want to collapse the component first as it has complicated Estimating language and formulas attached to it that i will loose if I collapse the component
Thanks

Thanks
It seems like such a simple thing to integrate
Surprised it is not doable

I just discovered autotext and i would love to automate the scale info of each image using autotext.
Is there a way to reference the scale value from the model tab?
Thanks allot

Thanks
I think i can use this technique to speed things up

Is there a way to substitute(replace) one profile(Face) for another with out having to re trace the path you are extruded along.(follow me tool)
I am trying to make several different door casing examples along a path and am trying to save myself some steps
Thanks

Is there a way to select parts of multiple groups at one time using the marque selection tool?
For those familiar with Adobe Illustrator the hollow arrow tool provides this feature.
It temporarily ignores group status to select at the most basic level

I apologize if this is a duplicate
i am new to the forum and could not find my previous post
