A wheel mouse has two or more buttons and a small wheel between the two topside buttons. The default functions for the two top buttons and the Wheel are as follows:
Left Hand button is for input and can’t be reprogrammed.
Right Hand button is for Enter or the shortcut menu.
The Wheel may be used to Zoom and Pan or Zoom and display the Object Snap menu. You will learn more about this later.
The following describes how to select the Wheel functions. After you understand the functions, you may choose to change the setting.
To change the setting you must use the MBUTTONPAN variable.
MBUTTONPAN setting 1: (Factory setting)
| ZOOM | Rotate the wheel forward to zoom in. Rotate the wheel backward to zoom out. |
| ZOOM EXTENTS | Double click the wheel to view entire drawing. |
| PAN | Press the wheel and drag the mouse to move the drawing on the screen. |
MBUTTONPAN setting 0:
| ZOOM | Rotate the wheel forward to zoom in. Rotate the wheel backward to zoom out. |
| OBJECT SNAP | Object Snap menu will appear when you press the wheel. |
To change the setting:
1. Type: mbuttonpan <enter>.
2. Enter 0 or 1 <enter>.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Open multiple Drawings.
2. Easily switch from one open drawing to another.
3. Test your current AutoCAD skills.
4. Plot from Model Space.
Note :
This lesson should be used to determine whether or not you are ready for this level of instruction. If you have difficulty creating Exercises 1A, 1B and 1C you should consider reviewing the Beginning AutoCAD® 2018 Exercise Workbook before going on to Lesson 2.
The File Tabs tool allows you to have multiple drawings open at the same time. If the File Tabs tool is switched on (on by default), you can open existing saved drawings or create new ones.
The File Tabs tool is located on the Interface Panel of the View Tab, and is a Neon Blue color when switched on.
How to open an existing saved drawing from the File Tabs
1. Right mouse click on the “+” icon.
2. Select Open from the menu.
3. Locate the Directory and Folder for the previously saved file.
4. Select the File you wish to open.
5. Select the Open button.
How to open a new drawing from the Files Tab.
1. Right mouse click on any File Tab and select New from the menu.
2. Select Drawing Template (*.dwt) from the Files of type drop-down list.
3. Select the Template you require.
4. Select the Open button.
Note:
If you right mouse click on any File Tab a menu appears with various options, including closing all open drawing Tabs except the one you just clicked on.
You can also start a new drawing using the default template by left clicking on the “+” icon.
The File Tabs drawing previews allow you to quickly change between open drawings. If you hover your mouse over any open File Tab, a preview of the Model and the Layout Tabs are displayed. You can click on any of the previews to take you to that particular open drawing or view, as shown in the example below.
If an asterisk is displayed on a File Tab it means that particular drawing has not been saved since it was last modified. The asterisk (*) will disappear when the drawing has been saved. An example of having two separate drawings open that have not been saved is shown below.
These two drawings are showing the asterisk and have not been saved.
The following drawings have been included for two purposes:
First purpose: To make sure you remember the commands taught in the Beginning AutoCAD® 2018 Exercise Workbook and to get you prepared for the new commands in this Advanced AutoCAD® 2018 Exercise Workbook.
Second purpose: To confirm that you are ready for this level of instruction.
