I am using to export meshes to OpenGL ES for the Android. What I would like to do is place a rectangle with one corner at (1,1,0) and the other corner at (-1,-1,0) which represents the two corners of the Android screen in OpenGL ES. How would that best be done in 3D Studio MAX?
View 1 Replieschange all circles of a certain diameter in a .dxf file to points. I received the following lisp file. For the last 10-12 years it has worked great. We create many custom sized parts that could be cut on a plasma (utilizing the circles for holes) or punched, assigning a crosshair tool to the point. Now we are switching to a laser, and want to etch a crosshair at this same location. Our solution has been to draw the crosshair and copy to each required location. Sometimes this may be 20 to 30 locations. Now I would like to know if there is a way to replace all of these circles with a crosshair. This could be a similar lisp file, or an easier manual operation. I know that I can select all of the circles using the filter command and specifying the radius. But I don't know how to assign the 'crosshair' to these locations. (defun c:ctopt ( / ename cnt ss) (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "CIRCLE")))) (if ss (progn (setq cnt 0) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq ename (ssname ss cnt)) (if (equal (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.025 0.005) ;use this line for a radius 0.025 +/- 0.00015 ;(<= (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.05) ;use this line for a radius of 0.05 or less (progn (entmake (list '(0 . "POINT") (assoc 10 (entget ename))(assoc 8 (entget ename)))) (entdel ename) )) (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) ) ) ) (princ) )

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop / Illustrator, when I create a polygon, and rotate it around it's center point it wobbles. When I scribe it inside of a perfect circle, and rotate it around the circle's center point it rotates smoothly. Basically proving that (at least according to these Adobe products) that the center point of a circle is different than the center point of a polygon scribed inside of it.
An image – the dots in the center are the corresponding center points according to Adobe:

This is incorrect according to basic math. Is Adobe aware of this bug?

It's given that the ellipse shape tool is chosen.Neither simultaneously depressing the shift or control key concurrent with the drag motion accomplishes this objective. any simple way to draw concentric circles each of which has a randomly chosen diameter and varying stroke width? The polar grid tool isn't relevant to this objective.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to find a way how to insert a point or a * on the center point of a hole and put it on a different layer. The reason for this is - I am a CAD tech for a welding shop and we cut parts out of steel and we use the dxf file format for our plasma table to cut parts. For example : if i have a 1 inch thick plate and want to put a 3/4'' hole in the plate the hole will be distorted because the hole is smaller than the material thickness. For these situation we can use the plasma table to burn a point or a dot on the center point of the hole. But to do this the point or dot must be on a different layer in the dxf.

If there are provisions for changing the object type and changing length in that importing process it will be very useful.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I seperate the edges at these two vertexs (red circles) and connect them together (green line)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two adjacent circles. I created two tangent lines between them on opposite sides. I want to connect the lines to the circles. So - I make the circle into a pie, and with the node editing tool, drag the nodes around until I see the little info text go from edge to "node" where it snaps on the nope of the line.
Before I start this, the lines are perfectly tangent. When complete, the lines are no longer tangent and the circle is shifted upwards, and is moved off the perfect tangent by different amount for each line. I can see a difference at 3200% and 11000% zoom at 0.5 point lines.
This occurs if I rotate the circle, or make the circle into an arc also.
It seems that when the circle is drawn, the center point about which its rotated, and from where the arcs/pies are drawn is not exactly center. This is happening when I manually rotate it. It I rotate it giving it a specific degree in the properties bar across the top, it rotates fine. For instance, repeating this again, the arcs of the circle is below one line, and above the other live by a lesser degree.

Basically, I've created the 9 planets (I've chose to include Pluto) and being the anal person I am, I would like to know how to set selected objects (in this case spheres) a defined distance apart, not at the pivot points, but from the far edge of the planet(s).
For example, I want each planet to be exactly x amount of 'units' apart from each other (from their edges); is this possible?
I have just installed Inventor 2012 and am experiencing a bizarre problem with placing content center parts. When I start a new assembly, and place a content center part, I would expect it to locate itself central to the assembly origin. What actually happens is that it grounds itself wherever I click on the screen. This doesn't happen with parts that I have created myself.
Is there a bug in the system or maybe an option that I have unknowingly switched off?

I want to find the tangent intersection point between 2 circles within certain conditions.
Circle 1 is r: 30 m and is fixed.
Circle 2 is r: 20 m and its position is inside circle 1.
Circle 2 can be moved in a given angle.
The question is: what distance should circle 2 move, to become tangent with circle 1.
i need a lisp routine for a situation like this:
I have a polyline consisting of various point intersections, total length of polyline is around 600m. I want to place a point along this polyline at some distance e.g. 50m.
Is there a way to keep the selection line to stay after you place the end point? Right now the default (and my guess the only way) just removes the selection line and dots the lines selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how I can rotate many different circles (could really be any shape) aound a single point?

Is there a quick method using CorelDraw's tools/features to accomplish this task?

Is there any way to locate exact center of a circle in after effects? I made a perfect circle in photo editing program and since layer's boundaries corresponded to circle's edges, i thought that anchor point in after effects will be exactly at the center. but it's not the case - the anchor point is at the center of a composition!
I imported the circle .psd layer together with other layers as a composition, does this have any importance? As i said,the circle layer boundaries corresond with circles edges, not with canvas' edges in my photo editing program. But whe i solo the circle layer, i see that the anchor point is at the center of a composition, not the layer.
So now i have to place anchor point at the center manualy, and it's pretty difficult to do it perfectly. when i rotate the circle, it wobbles and wobbles.
When placing a puch table in a flat pattern drawing, can the origin point be placed anywhere or does it have to correspond to the origin point of the Inventor drawing (0,0,0)?I placed the origin point at some point which I randomly chose but no table popped up for me to chose the puch table option.

I do this by clicking on the eye object and "Affect Pivot Only", "Center to Object". This works but when I export the model as FBX the moment the export has finished my eyes have both jumped to the the floor and my pivot is still in the correct place.

I also have the same when I try to do the pivot point in Softimage [URL]....I am a competent modeller however a begginer when it comes to Autodesk's software.
