View 3 RepliesI am making a film and I am wondering if there is any way I can manipulate models and make it look like they crack in half etc.
For ex., I have a helicopter in a scene and it get's shot. Is there anyways I can change/animate the helicopter to look realistically blown up to peices? Not cheesy blow up - like blowing up to blocks and such, but into realistic, organic, pieces.
I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.
Is it possible to select an object for reading in an XRef?
PS I think it has something to do with Editor.SelectNestedEntity() but it is the end of a long day and I can't fathom it out
Occassionally the object properties in my object manager will dissappear and I am unable to bring them back. I have tried toggling all the buttons on the manager, restarting corel, resetting corel to it's default settings and restarting my computer but nothing will bring back the properties. It does not happen on every single file but it happens often enough to be a pain. I have attached a picture of what the object manager looks like.

Is there a trick to expose all the functions of the obejct (like a curve or oval) and it's properties?
I would like to measure and identify all points on a combined curve and I was hoping for a function to identify if a curve is at or near an X Y location.
How to get the Object Properties by Javascript
I found that it is hard for me to get the property of selected object by Javascript.
Just like the following code, I can get the object ID of each selected entity. But when I want to get the property of the DBEntity, just the center of a Circle entity, or the Position.X of a Point, I dont know how to Continue. The getExtent is the only function that I can writeout the property, it is List in the develop guide.
function setPromptSelectionOptions(options) {
options.messageForAdding = "
Please select some entities"

Juts had Acad LT 2009 re-installed on my new laptop, and all of my old settings, desktop preference etc have been wiped. No problem, couple of hours to set it back up.
BUT
When right-clicking on any object to bring up the properties, (line length, text height etc) the properties do not appear in the drop down box on the right, or in any 'quick properties' display
I saw that I can add Fields or store data in dictionaty, but those data are not showed in Properties Windows.
In not Acad-application (but .net application) I can create property description and add "virtual" properties with the use of designer. In Aced it doesn't work.
Is it possible to add custom properties from .NET?
i want to zoom object by its properties, such as i want to zoom the object was using 0.13mm lineweights or zoom the text which was using 3mm testheight
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Acad experience is very old-school, and I have been away from true Autocad for a number of years.
I have been attempting to edit the properties of objects in the block editor and ran into a problem.
+ I select an object.
+ Right-click and choose Properties.
+ A list of properties is displayed, but they are not for the object I am trying to edit.
I did a test by selecting the object and using the command prompt, used the CHPROP command to change the objects color. It did change color as expected.
However, when I used the right-click/properties method, the properties shown do not show the new color. So, I suspect that my right-click/properties method is not showing me the object's properties. But, rather the default properties when any new objects are created.
So, obviously right-clicking is not the way to get there. What am I missing?
Is there a way to access AEC object (AEC_WALL etc.) properties from RealDWG? I am able to get the class name AecDbWall. And even the extents of the entity.There are some Aec*.dll files in the RealDWG folder but I am not sure what to use to get the properties of Wall,window.I'm using visual C++. I have installed the object enablers of Architecture Structure Drawing, MEP, and also of Civil.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a template for a project type (Residential). I have created all of my drawings, views, sheets, etc. I have a View drawing set up for a site plan - where I include some m-text regarding the survey and site plan information. I want to create fields that reference the Surveyor's Name, the Survey Date and the Project Address.
I tried creating custom properties in the project, but it appears that fields that reference the project properties only update on the sheet views in paper space. Is there a way of creating drawing specific fields in model space where I can input some data and them extract it in a field in model space that is quick and easy (as opposed to creating some type of MVB)?
How to get the properties of plant 3d ortho block?
AutoCAD Plant 3d 2014
I cannot change the color of any object in any drawing file from the properties manager or color command. I can change the color through the layer manager by assigning a new color to that layer, but cannot override the ByLayer and ByBlock settings with the object properties. The color drop down is simply grayed out. I am using Autocad lt 2006.

When selecting an AEC and going to the properties dialogue box I no longer have items showing up in the prpoerties like cleanup group, size, or endpoint type. It only has the general tab and 3d visualization. I did a repair from the uninstall software fromn control panel. I also rebooted. I don't want to do a reinstall becuase of customizations. I have vista Ultimate operating system.

When the box does come up the properties of a picked object does show and you cannot change the properties of the picked object. I am runnung AutoCadLT 2014.
View 7 Replies View RelatedTrying to see what the properties of an object are so I wrote a function, doesn't seem to work though. it is definitely an object though.
alert(typeof selection); //returns object
function printType(obj) {
var key;
for(key in obj) {
if(obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {

it sure is useful to be able to get to the rest of the object properties that are there but hidden from property sets.

ADT Window Style Type in a PSD
Filed under: visitmycarfeed, drivemy cars, minicartag, internet — wilhemina947judith @ 5:38 pm
The Window Type for a windows style is not available as an automatic property. So a bit of VBScript is needed. Create a PSD (Property Set Definition) that applies to Windows styles and add the automatic property Handle. Then add the formula below. Notice that [Handle] in the formula must be selected from the “Insert Property Definitions” list. In the code

How can I restore my object properties dialog box in its default state? I'm recently working on a project when my Autocad Architecture 2013 just stopped working while it was saving. When i re-opened the file, I just noticed that the object properties doesn't show the full parameters of a certain object anymore. The width,height and other parameters in adding a wall is not included in the properties dialog box. Same scenario goes for all the objects, when i click on a dimension line or any line, an incomplete dialog box appears. Solutions that i've tried but nothing worked:
1. Changed User Profle Preferences
2. Changed my .CUIX in the customization file
3. Restart Autocad
4. Reset Autocad
5. Reinstalled Autocad
6. Downloaded and Installed Autocad Architecture 2013 service packs 1&2
I'm Using Autocad Architecture 2013 64 bit and OS windows 8 64 bit.
I am having an issues that I am unable to change the properties of a selected object using the tools located within the ribbon. Instead I need to go through the properties popout to change them.
for instance, I seclect a line and want to change the layer from A-wall to A-door. I try to change it using the drop down layers located within the ribbon, but it does not change. however If I do the same only though the properties popout window I can change it.
Is there toggle that I accedently switched?
I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2009. I am not getting the object data values seen in the properties window in one of my machine. The other machine I am able to get the object data in the properties window.
I have attached screen shot of the machine where the object data can be seen in the properties window.
I have a drawing with several layers being used. I also have some objects that are included in rectangular arrays.
When I update the colour or visibility of the layer, the array items do not follow the layer properties.
I have verified in the properties that the array object is on the correct layer.

AutoCAD LT 2013 SP 1.1
We run 2012 Civil 3D. We recently loaded an application which provides tabs of mutiple open drawings at the top of the page so you can easily switch between drawings.
I typically dock my Object Properties Window on the left side of my window. Once we added the application, I can no longer access my Object Properties window. It is slightly visible within the window where the drawing tabs are. However, it is only 2 -3 lines of the window.
I cannot drag the properties window to another location.
I tried removing the application for the drawing tabs. However, then I cannot access the properties window at all. It says it opens and closes but it is hidden.
I attached a screen shot to try to show the problem. The properties window can be seen in the top left corner.
Just picked up this Extendscript for a quick utility function. I can't seem to use any of the "usual" Javascript logic contstructs to test for undefined object properties.
Example:
typeof(app.activeDocument) === "undefined"
This is an *error* in Extendscript (Error 1302: No such element). I don't believe it should be, but if I'm supposed to do something different in Extendscript.
My corel x5 opens with object properties are set with x no fill and on opening a new document and creating a shape, it has no fill.
My boss opens corel x5 and his object properties are set with x no fill but on opening a new document his properties change and a blue color shows in his fill, and of course when he creates a shape it is filled with this blue color.
Yes, he can just change the properties to x no fill each time he opens a new document but i wondered if we can change it and have it set at x no fill as the default ? I have tried everything I can think of but it seems to want to keep this blue color as the default.
I have some blocks which were overruled. Now I would like in properties palettes show some thing else instead of" block reference " for those overruled objects. Is it possible ?
View 4 Replies View Relatedas the subject states, at some point (I believe after uninstalling autodesk 360), our properties tool pallete will not populate info for the selected object. is there a fix other than re-installing from scratch? The installation fixer didn't work, and I've had to re-install twice now for other issues with the software, so it's getting very costly/time consuming to just re-install for these problems.

Is this more of a Windows issue rather than AutoCAD? We are running Windows 7/64.
When objects are selected, they don't show up on the properties panel (or on the Quick Select panel either) It doesn't matter what method I use:
-Pick one object (lines, arcs, circles, blocks, etc), the Quick Properties flyout appears, but empty. Properties flyout show "no selection"
-Window-select object or objects. Quick Properties bar shows up empty again. Properties flyout show "no selection"
-Click on the Quick Select icon. It prompts me to pick geometry. I do. The Quick Select window comes up, but where it says "Object Type", it only has the option "Multiple", and not the normal list of the geometry you selected.
