Installing ACNE on Windows 7
There are two parts to the Windows 7 and ACNE tale – installation and running. The crux of the matter is that you need to install and run ACNE as a Windows XP compatible application
AutoCAD Layers are not Layers
AutoCAD “Layers” should be called Collections, or Bundles. They are a way of grouping objects (lines, blocks, text, whatever you like) together so you may easily adjust properties they share.
Using ACNE with Excel 2007 or 2010
ACNE was originally developed to run in Windows XP and with versions of Excel that used the .XLS format (97 & 2003). Excel’s file format changed to the .XLSX format with the release of Office 2007 and continues with Office 2010. Both ACNE and Excel need some adjustments to make ACNE work properly.
Full-screen Shortcut for AutoCAD
I wanted a full-screen shortcut like Internet Exploder, Firefox and other web browsers, just for having a good look at a drawing on the whole screen with no distractions.
The Cleanscreen command is a good start but it didn’t go far enough for me, so I hacked it and added a few things to it. Now my full-screen has only the Top window bar with the quick-access menu and nothing else.
