3ds Max :: Setting Length Of A Line?

May 4, 2013

Maybe this is just me being super new to 3ds, or maybe it's just a limitation of the program, but I can't figure out/see a way to set the length of a line.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Change Length Of Line Based On Length Of Attribute

Jan 8, 2013

Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?

I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum).  But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Line Length Follow Content Length Of Attribute

Mar 16, 2012

I was wondering if there is a way with DB's to have a line "follow" or "grow" with the content/value length of an attribute. Maybe some method of linking the attribute width to length of the line? Essentially, it would work just like turning on the underline setting when typing in mtext editor (or any program with an underline option for that matter), expect that the line could be placed anywhere, and would not have to reside directly below the text.

AutoCad :: How To Make Third Line Relative To Second Line So Angle Is 75 Degrees And A Certain Length

Oct 27, 2009

I have been practicing using a older book(copyright 1990) and it has some decent exercises in it. I was able to do this one but it seems I can"t find the proper way to do this..First drawing a line a certain distance..ortho on,click the first point anywhere,move curser to the left and click again. that gives me a line at 180 degrees at what ever length..Line command again starting at the second point of the first line..after clicking that point,I type in @2.38<150 that gives me a line2.38 long at 150 degrees..now how do i make a third line relative to the second line so that the angle is 75 degrees and a certain length..the picture shows what I am trying to draw..using the polar cordinates you get an angle based off the UCS( which is set at world) when you try to draw the third line ..that makes the angle between line 2 an 3 not the angle that I want..To make the drawing,I rotated the ucs -30 degrees..But there has to be a better way than that..

AutoCAD 2013 :: Won't Allow To Specify Length Of A Line

Jun 13, 2013

I have used AutoCad for a few years and I installed 2013 to my laptop recently.I noticed that I couldn't specify how long a line should be. When I select the line tool and specify the base point and type how long it should be i.e. 3' and a red box appears around the dimension box and the line isn't drawn. I tried not specifying a unit of length and it draws the line just fine. But for some reason it wont complete the line if I specify feet or inches.

AutoCAD LT :: Using Symbol To Enter Line Length?

Dec 9, 2011

I'm having a problem entering line lengths - something I remember occurring some time ago - but I can't' recall how I remedied it.  The '@' symbol take time to register - instead of registering immediately as previously.  I now have to check the command line each time and allow a moment for it to register before entering the values.

AutoCad :: Automatic Measurement Of Length Of Line

Sep 5, 2013

I've recently re-install my AutoCAD on my Win7 PC and now whenever I try to draw a Line, there's this automatic measurement of the length of the line I'm stretching. It is really causing a lag on my PC for some reason and I seem to can't find a way to turn it off.

AutoCad 2D :: Control Length Of Dimension Line

Nov 15, 2013

In Autocad 2006, is there a way to control the length of the dimension line when it extends outside of the dimension distance itself? In other words, when a dimension is small, and the arrowheads flip to the outside of the dimension parameter, the text and the extension line outside of the dimension seems to go to far outside of the dimension area..

Can I control how far outside of the dimension area that this line and text are placed? They seem to go to far out on my drawings. I prefer them to be closer to the actual dimension area instead of extending so far out.. Didn't know if there was a control for this and where to find it.

AutoCad :: Measure Length Of Continuous Line?

Oct 12, 2006

Is there a tool where you just click on any line and it tells you how long the line is from end to end?

Basically I am drawing a curvy line that twists and turns here and there, but the line has to be less then so long. So I have to approximate the length by doing strait measurements and multiplying, it's really a pain.

I'd much rather just click the line, and it tell me how long it is from end to end, across turns and rounded edges and corners.

Revit :: How To Determine Total Length Of Multiple Line

Jan 18, 2012

This is something that used to be very easy to do in autocad (with a polyline) and checking the length on the properties bar. When I select multiple lines (chain of lines) the "length" data is greyed out. I hate having to measure every segment separately!

Revit :: Minimum Line Length In Family Editor?

Sep 28, 2010

I'm in an RFA file and can't seem to draw lines shorter than 1/32" without getting the "Element is Too Small on Screen" error.  Even when I zoom in so that 1/32" is equal to the width of my monitor, I still get this error.  I'm trying to draw very shallow grooves in a mullion.  The attached shortline.jpg file show a line that is long on my screen, but to short for Revit, being drawn. how I can draw very short lines in the Family editor?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Line Length Display Box Missing?

Oct 19, 2010

I must have changed a setting and now I cannot figure out what I did.

On AutoCad at school, when drawing a line, there is a light blue dialogue box that would pop up above the cursor telling you the length of the line before you set it. (not the coordinates).

This is not showing up on the educational version of AutoCad I am running at home.

AutoCad :: Line Length Display On Endpoint Hovering

Feb 1, 2013

So when i would select a line, hover over one of the endpoints, the length and angle would be shown, as a quick dimension. for some reason that has stopped, all it does now if i select the line, hover over an endpoint the only thing it says is stretch, or lengthen.

RANT!!! (come on 2013, thats stupid, stretch and lengthen are basically the same thing, dont you think if i stretch something it would automatically lengthen something, and if i lenghtened something, it in fact would also be stretching it. and to see you replaced the simple dimensioning of that line with a pointless i wouldnt call it option. now to figure out the length i have to keep the properties file open, or i have to draw a faux line over the current one just to check its length, or literally i have to draw a dimension line.) EnD!!

What option might have been turned off? and that the new array no longer gives you a box, but you do it all through the command line. or the dynamic input. That was an AWESOME box that i do miss dearly, and no longer have the option to bring back..

May 18, 2005

I have a plane defined from ucs-world points: (1,1,0),(3.6,2,1),2.2,3.6,2) .

It is intersected by the line defined by ucs-worlds points: (1.6,3.2,0.2) and(2.8,1.4,1.8 ).

Im having trouble trying to manipulate the UCS in order to find the location of the piercing point, the true length of the line and slope.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Style - Line Component Length

Jun 20, 2013

I have surface style (could be slope or spot elevation) with a 2 line component, and text component above and below the line.  I'm trying to create on style for many options. I'm using c3d 2013, but moving to 2014.

I would like to do the following after placing the label:

1.  adjust the length of the line component.  (ex: as I rotate the lable, the length of seg 1 changes )
2.  turn off one of the line component
3.  adjust the angle of one of the line component.
4.  when drag, the length of the line changes to a new value.

and while I'm asking, is there a way to move/rotate/drag the syle to a percise distance.  I want the leader to be 1 unit long at 30 degree angle.

Revit :: Family Instance Won't Extend To Full Length Of Line

Jan 22, 2014

I have made a Family that is based off the Metric Structural Framing - Beams and Braces template. When I import my Family into a project and create a instance of the Family (which is a channel) the channel doesn't extend the whole distance of the geometric line. Its always 1500mm long (thats the default length in the .rfa file). See below image for my problem:

I made my extrusion inside the Left Elevation view and not inside a Floor Plan view; simply because it is easier to create the complex geometry of it. Maybe this has affected its inability to stretch to the length of the line? How can I edit my family so that the extrusion will stretch the whole length of the line/beam?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Line Length Report

I want to take this list and create a function to create a list of total lengths i.e. the CDR's.

(("CUT6SS" .total length)("CUT4SS" . total length))

AutoCad 2D :: Any Command That Actually Splits A Line Into 3 Equal-length Lines?

Jan 23, 2014

I have a line that i would ideally like to divide into 3 equal segments. The divide command places points along the line, but I can't snap to them.

I know that I can place a block at each point which I could snap to, but is there a way of doing it without creating a block? Also is there a command that actually splits a line into 3 equal-length lines?

AutoCad :: Circle Radius Doesn't Match Up With Line Length

Apr 26, 2011

I'm trying to plan an access road which must run at least 2.5m away from an existing fenceline. I've put a few parallel road lines in at 3m distance, but at the fence bends I decided to put some circles at the bend points to give me a 3m radius. When I did this I was suprised to find that the circle extends further than my access road. I've dimensioned them both up, CAD is telling me they're both 3m away but they're clearly not at the same distance.
