AutoCAD 2010 :: Turning Off Lines In Nested Blocks?

May 30, 2013

 Autocad 2011

wondering if its possible to turn off lines inside of nested blocks.

When we tried to do this inside a heavily layered and blocked drawing, it seemed to make the file unresopnsive, unloadable, and general "autocad freezing" issues. We Reconsitituted the entire file from the ground up and found that by NOT turning off these lines inside of nested blocks (ceteris parabis) the file works fine.

We like to turn these lines off becuase different teams are working on different parts of the drawing and we like to focus on one section by turning the other off. Is this possible? Is there a better way to do this?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Remove Legend Font Style Or Table Style?

Nov 5, 2009

There is a font and table style called "Legend" that is automatically generating and can not be purged.

I have looked through all the start up files, all the lisp files and can't find anything that would be creating them!

They appear in any file I open, new or old and even if I open a template file.

I have attached a file that should be empty but you will (or should) see both a font and table style called "Legend".

(FYI I am running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 as AutoCAD 2010)

Lightroom :: 3 - Changing Style Of Text Font When Inserting Captions?

Aug 12, 2012

I am trying to produce a slideshow in LR3 of a series of travel shots. Problem is that I want to insert a nice caption to each individual shot showing the place, country etc etc.

It seems the only way to do this is to enter the caption initially in the Metadata in the Library module and then select " Captions " in the Custom text box in the Slideshow module.

My problem is that I hate the clunky big white text that shows on the slideshow. I cannot seem to find anywhere where I can change this to a nicer text font, style and colour. You can change the style text in the text overlay panel but that then applies to the whole slideshow. I need a nice individual caption for each shot.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Text Style Font Override

Jan 4, 2013

I have a text style called standard2 in a drawing, I put all text whether it be in blocks, dimensions, mtext, dtext everything into the style I want.  Purge the drawing which gets rid of the style, save it, close it then reopen.  I then get Standard style reset, existing objects moved to standard2 and now the standard2 style is back in the drawing.  This problem is only affecting some drawings and not all drawings.

(BTW: The "Applies to" - list is not up-to-date and the setting accepts only the font but not the colour)

But how to change the font which appears in the dialogue of Editors (Texted, att-ed, ...)? Yesterday I changed the Windows setting for "Dialogtext" (Messagetext?), but the dialogues only changed the colour but not the font ...?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Select All Lines And Changing Dimension Style

Aug 9, 2012

I just got a new job with AutoCAD 2011. In the previous version (was using 2008 beore), I could select all lines, dimensions hatches, and then change the dimension style. But with this new version, as soon as I select anything that is not a dimension, like a hatch pattern or a regular line, I can't change the dimension style anymore. Is there anyway to change this back to how it was?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Data Link Is Changing Table Style?

Mar 16, 2012

I have created a table style in ACAD 2012 with all of the cells formatted to what I need.  The trouble begins when I bring in a BIAS excel data link to populate the table.  I have tried every option in the insert table steps and have even tried all the different options under the modify excel link options.  I have toggled the use excel formatting on and off, which does change the table size a small bit, but does not allow the table style to take affect.

I have attached a screen shot of the "good" and "bad" tables.  The bad table is what the good table comes in as and it is also what happens everytime the table link updates.  It always reverts back to the bad style and then I have to change the table back to the good one by hand - changing each column individually.

Is there a way to attach a data link to a table with the table style holding its shape and formatting?

This happens on all of my drawings and using all kinds of different excel links.

how to bring in the data link??

In my model i need to display in 3D. When i change the visual style from 2D Wireframe to 3D Hidden nothing is changing.

Its not a problem with the software as if i draw a cube in the model this changes but my model still does not.

Also the model is imported from Tekla Structures in the same way as the 20 a week and this is the only one which i have had problems with.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Removing / Changing Line Layers Buried In Blocks

Mar 21, 2012

I’m currently working on getting a system for easier plant layout management.  Part of which is condensing what started as 195 mostly random layers into about 15 usable layers.

Problem:

I have about 28 more layers that need to get rid of and I can’t delete them because there are lines assigned to them. However, when I hide all the layers I need so that only the unnecessary layers are showing, there’s nothing there.

Side Note:

I know this problem is most likely because there were layers applied to features deep within blocks. I just don’t want to go through the 700+ block to check each layer assigned to each line.

(This file I was given to start with is a mess. Examples: Some of the blocks have the same exact feature that’s buried 7 blocks deep with no features added to justify an extra bock being there. Some of the blocks aren’t even being used in the layout. Name of the block has no coloration with the actual thing it represents. Stuff like that…)

Question:

Is there a way of hunting down these layers in the blocks to delete / change them without checking each individual block? Or is it possibly because the layer i need to get rid of is applied to a block that’s not being used in the layout?

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Get All MLeaders Even In Blocks Nested Ones

Aug 13, 2013

I need to EnableFrameText to all MLeaders in a drawing, I also want to get the MLeaders who are nested in Blocks automatically...

I started this way but It just works fine with the Mleaders in Modelspace or if I open the Blockeditor to edit Mleaders nested in a Block...

I know I'm not going to "deep", maybe I need an other Transaction, or thirst open each Block to edit... not right sure...

my example:

//Ändert leider nur die MLeader die nicht in einem Block sind....
[CommandMethod("MLeaderIterator")]
public static void MLeaderIterator_Method()

AutoCAD .NET :: Nested Blocks From Selected Subentity

Sep 27, 2013

I'm attempting to have the user select mText from a nested block within a block and then copy the nested block to model space out of the block. I'm able to change the mText successfully, but when I attempt to get the nested block it is not in the list of GetContainers() it only contains the block in model space and the model space block. The nested block is missing in the list. I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013. 

Here is the code to select the mText object which works correctly.
 
Sub GetNestedMtext() ' Have the user select an object. Using the prompt provided. Dim ed As Editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor Dim entopts As New PromptNestedEntityOptions(Environment.NewLine & "Select a mText in block to replace: ") entopts.Message = Environment.NewLine & "Select a mText in block to replace: " Dim ent As PromptNestedEntityResult = Nothing Try ent = ed.GetNestedEntity(entopts) Catch ed.WriteMessage("You did not select a valid entity") End Try If ent.Status = PromptStatus.OK Then CreateDuplicateBlockInModelSpace(ent) End If End Sub
 
Here is the code that attempts to get the nested block which is missing the nested block.
 
Private Shared Sub CreateDuplicateBlockInModelSpace(ByVal ent As PromptNestedEntityResult) Try Dim containerObjIds As ObjectId() = ent.GetContainers() Dim blkToExtract As BlockReference = DirectCast(containerObjIds(1).GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), BlockReference) Dim blkToPlace As BlockReference = blkToExtract.Clone() Dim doc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim db As Database = doc.Database Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Dim acBlkTbl As BlockTable acBlkTbl = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) Dim acBlkTblRec As BlockTableRecord acBlkTblRec = tr.GetObject(acBlkTbl(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite) acBlkTblRec.AppendEntity(blkToPlace) tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(blkToPlace, True) tr.Commit() End Using Catch ex As System.Exception End Try End Sub

 Is there another way I can get the parent block object for the nested object?

AutoCad :: Data Extraction Nested Blocks?

Dec 13, 2011

Here is the problem with the process put simply:

Start with a new drawing Drawn a rectangle. Place a block which has an attribute with a number at each corner. ie. 1-4. Convert all objects into one single block. (the attributes become nested). If you use data extraction and retrieve the attribute number, position X and position Y, and output to a table the information displayed is correct. HOWEVER, if you rotate the block and update the link the coordinates become incorrect? This seems to be an issue with nested blocks?

AutoCad :: Edit Text Attributes Nested In Multiple Blocks?

Jun 22, 2010

I have a .dwg file which contains numerous blocks (70 or so) and they all have unique names.All these blocks have nested text.

I want to edit the attributes of all the text, in all these blocks, such that they assume the same text style, text layer and colour.

Obviously, with so many blocks, I want to avoid clicking on the text and editing the attributes individually.

I tried a lisp file called ATcolour.lisp, but even this is very time consuming.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Sharing Parameters In Nested Dynamic Blocks Using 2014

Nov 20, 2013

I am drawing a block that containes a number of other blocks which I want to control parametrically.  For example. In one block, I have set the diameters of a circle restricted to 10 and 12-mm.  I have a second block that also contains the circles which have similar restrictions. I now want to control the diameters of the circles from a single source - similar to shared parameters in Revit.  Am I able to share a global parameter between blocks?

Eventually, I want to control a 2D drawing from a table only.  Should I be using .Net or AutoLisp for this.

AutoCad :: Edit Line Weight In Nested Blocks Of All XREF Drawings

May 13, 2012

The 2D drawings I am working with were exported from 3D REVIT files to 2D AutoCAD files. There are several XREFed drawings that are both mechanical and architectural from the original REVIT files that for whatever reason, the block's line weights came over with line weights of 70 in those blocks.

When I plot, the objects are a blur with the line weight so high. I tried using the command "setbylayer" but that didn't work since nested blocks still had lineweights of 70. Is there a VBA or LISP routine to run through all the blocks (including nested) that can change the line weights to a given number?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Changing Text Style Used By Table Style

Jun 29, 2012

I am looking for a way to change the text style used by a table style with Visual LISP.  So far I have been able to get the IAcadTableStyle object from the acad_tablestyle dictionary, but there is no property for text style.  Is this even possible?  Code and results are below.

(setq TableStyles (vla-item dict "acad_tablestyle"))

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Dimension Style Reverts To Different Style

May 7, 2012

I am working with a template, that doesn't allow me to change the dimension style. In the project the Use Style Library is set to Read/Write. I have created my dimension style, at this point just a copy of the ANSI standard with a text size difference. I went to my template and set that syle as my default, and saved it. Now the fact that it doesn't automatically update the drawing I had alreadycreated is a nuisance, however if I creat a new drawing, the style has reverted to a different standard, that is not even the ANSI default. If I right click a dimension and change the dimstyle to what I saved it does update, but if I try to change the style again it defaults to a random dimstyle, AND changes the style even if I hit cancel. So... the question is how to make the changes stick?

Revit :: Exploding Families (nested) Similar To Blocks

Apr 10, 2012

Basically the question is if it is possible to explode families similar to blocks in AutoCAD.
 
Here is an example: A Family made for placement in the model has 2 nested families. Once placement is done is it possible to eliminate the initial family so only the nested families remain? All the parametric values can go away that’s fine and the nested families are also shared if that matters.
 
Since I come from AutoCAD and started with Revit v2012 it is basically like a block within a block which you could just explode so much until only lines are left.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Nested Xref Layer Colors

Aug 17, 2012

My question pertains to layer colors from xrefs that have other xrefs nested inside them.

When I get xrefs from the architects, I get a building layout, RCP, space layout, etc.  I tie all these together into a single "architect base" xref so I don't have to attach 4 xrefs to each new file I create.  What I would like to be able to do is set all the layer colors in the misc. architect xrefs in my "architect base" file and have those color settings propagate into my drawings as I create them.  This comes into play especially if I have to create a new drawing late in the project, and I don't want to have to go set hundreds of layer colors individually. ?

Visretain comes to mind, but visretain (if I'm correct) is really for keeping xref color settings in your current file from session to session, not in a new file that you are creating using an xref.

AutoCad :: Font In Library But Not In STYLE Drop Box?

Oct 26, 2012

I work with a AutoCAd drawing that's been drawn in LisCad, then Output to AutoCAD for continuing work.

I want to use a font that a collegue used on his drawing (he used Microstation but all our drawings are first done in LisCad), I have it in the AutoCAD font library, but for some reason it doesn't show under properties in the STYLE drop box in my drawing... Is that because my drawing comes from Liscad?

I guess I can copy a word from another AutoCAD drawing to get it in, but if I can get in into my drop list it would be handy!
