Room with a view...
I just have to share a picture of the view I had from my office a few minutes ago. The snow is falling (again) and the deer are looking for food. (I live in the foothills west of Denver and we haven't seen the lawn since mid-December!)
Do you see the two in the background?
After trekking across the front yard, they stopped for a break in the backyard.

AutoCAD Insider Good Question!
As you might imagine, I get many emails with questions about using AutoCAD. While I can’t respond to every email, I know that many of my individual responses would be helpful to other readers as well. So, taking the idea from a local news station, I’ve decided to try answering some “Good Questions” online.
My first question comes from Tyler. He asked if there is a way to prevent the Sheet Set Manager from automatically opening every time you open a drawing that belongs to the sheet set.
There are two variables that can help you control this SSM behavior:
- SSMAUTOOPEN Controls the display behavior of the Sheet Set Manager when a drawing associated with a sheet is opened.
- SSMLOCATE Controls whether the sheet set associated with a drawing is located and opened when the drawing is opened.
(Thanks to my coworker, Jon, for refreshing my memory about these variables!)

Dynamic Block Tip: Cycle Order
After reading my previous blog posting about dynamic block cycling, my coworkers Jon & John (aka the Dynamic Block Duo :-), offered the following additional information:
The BCYCLEORDER command opens the Insertion Cycling Order dialog box, which enables you to control the cycle order of dynamic block grips.

The next CAD Camp is in Seattle on February 22! If you are in the Seattle area, you don’t want to miss this special event as Shaan Hurley looks at the future of AutoCAD! I’ll catch up with the CAD Camp team in Little Rock on March 22 where I too will have the pleasure of leading a tour through the future of AutoCAD!
