It's been a few years, but I need to determine if AutoCAD LT is worthy... Where did BLIPMODE go?

¡Resuelto! Ir a solución.
Deprecated several versions ago.
If you want it on, try this:
Command: REDEFINE
Enter command name: blipmode
All bets are off for LT, and doubly off for the crippled Mac version.
one more thing to try - enter .blipmode (note the period prefix)
Hi @drew7KRQP
.BLIPMODE
(with period in front of the name) should work on Mac.
Unknown command "BLIPMODE". Press F1 for help.
To be clear, I *did* add the period in front of the command—it just doesn't exist in AutoCAD LT for Mac.
Hi Drew,
Actually BLIPMODE is still there in AutoCAD LT for Mac, even in 2022 version. And you can enable it.
1/ Quit AutoCAD LT
2/ Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/AutoCAD LT 2022 Standalone/R24.1/local folder and find HKCU_V1.plist file in it. Note - it is Library folder inside your Home folder, not in the root folder of your Mac . If you have 2021 version, then replace 2022 with 2021 in the path above.
3/ Open HKCU_V1.plist in plain text editor and use Find function to find BLIPMODE:
on the next line replace 0 with 1Ж
4/ Save HKCU_V1.plist and close it.
5/ Launch AutoCAD LT and test "blips", they should be there.
6/ To revert back - edit HKCU_V1.plist again and replace 1 with 0.
>>>>why are the icons so small?
Do you mean icons on the Tool Sets palette?
Yes, most of them are really small. And there is no official way to make them bigger. Look >>>here<<<
>>>>>"measure" no longer seems to "measure" a distance
Not sure what do you mean?
This ^^^^^^^
On another note, I wonder if Autodesk can count on two hands how many AutoCAD LT for MAC they've rented?
Very nice, Maxim!
I was able to edit HKCU_V1.plist in ProperTree:
ProperTree edit of HKCU_V1.plist

Yes, most of them are really small. And there is no official way to make them bigger. Look >>>here<<<
I kind of meant all of them... but I'll look at your process for changing the sizes.

>>>>>"measure" no longer seems to "measure" a distance
Not sure what do you mean?
I was using the "MEASURE" command—which appears to be functionally useless. Looks like the updated command is "MEASUREGEOM":
MEA command
(a few blips thrown in a for good measure... pun intended)
Thank you!
Drew
i tried with the "." in front, doesnt work on AutoCad LT 2022 on a MAC, has anyone figured out how to turn on blipmode
Welcome to Autodesk Forums!
Hi @Anonymous ,
>>>>>i tried with the "." in front, doesnt work on AutoCad LT 2022 on a MAC,
Yes, this method doesn't work in AutoCAD for Mac.
Please look at another solution >>>>here<<<<
