Tweets this week: XLine, Bass, and edits

Below is a summary of topics we covered this week on Twitter. This week we cover the many abilities of XLINE command, text editing and one CEO's interview.

• An old post that is still worth a read: reassigning F1 key (or any other keyboard F-key) to other commands in LT: http://ow.ly/1sxdNc  
• Add some extra text in your dims and still keep the actual dimension: use <> when you edit a dimension's text with DDEDIT or PROPERTIES.
• When you finish editing Mtext, instead of clicking OK button, just click in the background screen area to accept the changes you made.
• LTisACAD Blog: OTRACK quick tip for AutoCAD/LT http://dlvr.it/NM0CT

• Bisect an angle tip. Use XLINE command’s BISECT option: select the intersection point, then the first leg of the angle then the second.
• XLINE command's Offset feature: http://ow.ly/1ssCkF  Resulting XLINE’s center point is the start point of the Line or PLine you offset from.
