TECHtalk: autocad, technology and gadgets: The AutoCAD AutoStack

The AutoCAD AutoStack

Sunday, December 11, 2005

I have received a couple of e-mails from some friends asking me how to restore the AutoCAD AutoStack proprieties dialog box when you have suppressed the automatic display (by mistake, etc). So I resolved posting the solution on my blog.

First right-click over the stacked text and choose Properties on the shortcut menu.

In the Stack Properties dialog box, click AutoStack.

Once you click on the AutoStack bottom the AutoStack proprieties window opens and you can uncheck the checkmark saying “Don’t show this dialog again; always use these settings”. By doing this, you will suppress the constant pop-up of AutoStack.

About me

I'm Fernando Salgado From Whitby, Ontario, Canada I work at a consulting company as a Structural technologist, where I use AutoCAD daily. I have used AutoCAD, off and on for about 10 years, starting with the R14 version up until the current version. I like learning new tricks, sharing my knowledge and involving myself in the "CAD" community. I've also ventured into the web design field, with my own company Chimera for a number of years. On a personal note, I was born in Mozambique, lived in Portugal from the age of three, where I studied land surveying and engineering. In 2000, I moved to Canada, where I pursued web design and it wasn't until 2004 that I went into drafting again. I'm mostly self-taught AutoCAD and make it a hobby to collect as many books on the subject as possible.
