AutoCAD 2010 :: 3D Offset Or Scale Or Extend?

Feb 20, 2012

I have a rectangle shape (a 3D polyline) as in the attached DWG. I want to Offset, Scale, Extend (call it whaever you wish) so that the new 3D polyline (after the scale, offset or extend) is at the same plane as the original one.

Obviously the Z values of the new 3D polyline will be different from the original.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Arc Offset By Distance And Scale?

Jun 24, 2013

I am trying to find a routine that will allow me to offset an arc by a distance and to a scale.

The offest command is very limited as to how far I am able to offset without the boject completely vanishing. 

I am trying to make a flat pattern from a cone or something close to it. The routines and programs that I have found do not quite accomplish this very accuratll. They are always off on the upper and lower arcs and on the distance between the arcs. Tho this would not completely sovle my problem, it would allow me to get the distance between the top and bottom correct.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Extend Leader To Text

Feb 8, 2012

I have turned off or unchecked "Extend leader to text" (Multileader Style > Modify > Content > Extend leader to text) in all my templates.

Yet, when I start a new drawing using those templates, that feature is turned on (checked) again.

I've tested this several times. Yes, I'm using the same templates I've been saving. I've even created a new template from scratch with none of our standards in it. The check for Extend leader to text keeps returning.

I've tried this in both AutoCAD and Civil 3d.

Any way to duplicate this?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Trim And Extend Will Not Work

Feb 14, 2013

I am using Autocad 2010. I have been using 2008, but recently upgraded. I have a project that one particular file is driving me nuts! I can not use trim or extend on any existing line work. However, if I draw two non intersecting/crossing lines and ust the 'TR' command it works fine. I have checked to see if all lines are in the same plane and the appear to be. The only way I can trim or extend is if I use the 'Flatten' command.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multileaders And Extend To Text Option

Dec 15, 2011

I am in no way an expert in ACAD.We are experiencing "random" problems where we have a multileader with left justified text and the leader extension option turned on.  There is probable a common trait with all the offending leaders but we are yet to see it.

Basically, with some leaders, the landing length is being set to a negative value.  We have only noticed this since we turned on the extend leader to text option.  The result of this is that the leader lines can sometimes cross through the text.  Sometimes we fix them, then they revert to a negative value again when we close the drawing.

We can, of course, uncheck the extension option in the drawing and the problem appears to go away.  However, we have unchecked this option in our templates now, but when we open a new drawing based on the updated templates, the option is checked again.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Extend Command Doesn't Work

Mar 10, 2012

I have a 3d drawing file which I manually flattened except the section. The ground plan is at 0 Z axis. 

Now I am trying to draw lines on top of it, and I cannot extend my lines. Any solution to this?

Additional question:

I also had some difficulties when I was trying to flatten the 3d model. "Flatten" command did not work. I understand Flatshot did not work because these are not solids. But why Flatten did not work? That was why I had to manually change start and end of z position.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Scale On Printed PDF File Not Matching The Plotted Scale?

Jun 27, 2012

We have recently noticed that after printing a PDF of a drawing I plotted from AutoCAD we are coming up with differences when we double check the scale on the printed hardcopy using a carpenter ruler.  

For example, there is a dimension labeled on the drawing of 200 ft.  However, if I try to scale this out with a carpenter's ruler at the drawing was set to (say for instance it is 1 inch = 100 ft) I am coming up short of the  2 inches it should be (typically come up around an 1-15/16" or around 194 feet, approx 97% of the correct amount).

In the Page Setup Manager in AutoCAD, I have the following options selected (see the print screen as well):

Printer/plotter selected: DWG to PDF.pc3

Paper Size:  ANSI full bleed B (11.00 x 17.00 Inches)

What to Plot:  Layout

I don't have a plot scale scale other than the default 1" = 1'

No plot style selected

Then, on the print menu when I open the PDF that I have exported from AutoCAD, I have the following settings (see the print screens I have attached):

Printer:  The printer I use (Konica Minolta c650 Series PCL)

And I have selected the Options "Auto Rotate and Center" and "Choose paper source by PDF page size**"

** Note, that I have tried unselecting the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option and accordingly changed the paper size in the "Page Setup..." button at the btoom to match the document size (i.e. 11.0 x 17.0in) and it gets the difference to be closer (i.e. I now get 198 ft but some of my border gets cut off).  See the print screen below for this a print screen of the print menu and sub-menu of Page Setup showing the paper size selected.  

I saw that some people in other forums state that there is no real solution when trying to scale off of PDF's and that there should be a disclaimer saying as much if you are to send the file out to a customer who may rely on doing some in the field scaling from the printed copy of the PDF file.  I find it hard to believe there is no solution as we have received some drawings from others whom the scaling works just fine.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotation Scale Is Not Equal To Plot Scale

Mar 15, 2011

I work in autocad 2010 and I draw in scale 1:1 . What an annotation scale is, moreover I have never used annotative objects in my drawings.

Nonetheless, when I try to plot a drawing, while I am in the model view, I choose the scale in mm/units, I select the plot area and when I press preview or plot, I get the message THE ANNOTATION SCALE IS NOT EQUAL TO THE PLOT SCALE. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?

I press yes, I print it and the outcome is always a bit smaller than it should be.

When i am in the layout mode and I try to plot, I dont get this message. But I dont know how scaling works in this case. For example I want to plot in a A4 paper, scale 1:100. So I type 1000mm/100units, as I did in the model mode, but the result is wrong.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Station-offset Label Style That Will Drop Trailing Zeros In Offset?

May 14, 2012

I am trying to create a station-offset label style that will drop the trailing zeros in the offset section - e.g. 15' instead of 15.00', but if the offset is not at a whole number, e.g. 15.01, etc.  it will display the entire offset.

I created two expressions:  IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)

and this one:  IF(OFFSET-TRUNC(OFFSET)!=0,.1/12,.00000001/12)

I then created two offset components, one called truncated, and one called full, and assigned the heights to match the expressions. 

I have attached the file, the style is ACHD-Sta Off-Rt [copy]

C3D 2011, Win x64

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimension Scale Changes

Aug 3, 2011

In AutoCAD 2012 My dimension style/scale seems to change automatically.  I'll add one dimension in paper space,and then the very next dimension will be in a different style.  It will say 30" one time, then 400" the next.  Seems like it picks its own scale randomly.  It happens with the default dim styles as well as custom styles.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cannot Use Properties Box To Scale X Y And Z Independently

Mirrored blocks with annotative attributes, I know I can scale each one individually, but there are over one hundred. It would be nice to use the properties box and type in the scale. As soon as I type in the "x" scale, y and z follow! I need to put in negatives in x only.

Why do y and z automatically follow x?!?!?
