Using Acad release 12. Have there been any fixes to direct entry. Draw a 3d 6" cube. On the top surface draw a 2" line from a corner by moving your curser in the direction you wish to go, direct enter 2". It will be a 3" line. Move with direct entry also does not work when placing an object on an object.
View 7 Replies Did 2013 change the way Direct Distance Entry is handled?
Say I want to start a line a distance of 3 from another line using Otrack and a running endpoint snap. Before, I could just hover over the existing line's endpoint, move the cursor in the right direction, and enter 3 on the keyboard. Now in 2013, I need to have Dynamic Input (F12) turned on to get this behavior. 2012 was not this way.
Where the CUI custom files are so I can use them to update a new install of Acad 2010? My computer crashed, and I had to reinstall from scratch, so I just need to get the customization files off the old hard drive and put them somewhere to use for the new install.

In my drawing there is tie rod item ( find attached file) i have shown hidden line of only this part . and i have to select all items one by one.
When I click and drag with the direct selection tool, I'm getting a drag on the object rather than a marque for selecting points. As soon as I click, the tool switches to the black arrow tool. Did I mess up a setting somewhere? I'm not using any modifier keys.

how to put a 3D object on top of the another 3D object in autocad"! E.g.,I want to put a 3d object of one leaf (raised 1") on top of the vase, so that the edges of the leaf are placed completely on the surface of the vase.
I extruded the leaf 1" first, then tried to copy it on a solid cylinder of a vase, but it didn't work!!! It seems to be simple, maybe not!
When I select an object and pan to make another selection the first object "deselects". The object(s) will stay selected until I pan and as soon as I start to pan the grips go away and the object(s) is deselected.

I'm currently running 11.0.1).
Whenever I load photoshop, just as it is about to finish "Initializing panels..." an error box pops up saying: "Adobe Photoshop CS4: Photoshop.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point
Is ThreadDesktop Composited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll." After the box pops up I press the "Okay" button (that's the only one there) and it then opens Photoshop - which works perfectly. No other errors, no missing functions, no lag.
I'm pretty sure getting an error during start up is a good indication that not everything is 100%.
Suppose I have a Drawing Structure like:
MasterRoot
Root1
MasterChild1
Child
MasterChild2
Child
Root2
MasterChild1
Child
MasterChild2

When I use XrefGraph xg = mainDb.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(true); in Code then I get all the Files as a node including MasterRoot (say count=6).
If I want to get Only direct Children (here, Root1 and Root2)(means count=2 only), then what i have to do?
so I am working on tis project in China and rainfall stats and soils are not available, instead i get a measurement of 50 year peak flow at various river sections. in order to model this in SSA I put in juctions with direct inflows at each measured section. is there anyway I can apply an SCS typeII curve to these userdefined inflows to generate volumes for sizing of detention ponds and check dams?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhy am i not allowed to have multiple direct links for a node (junction/outfall)? i have a situation where i want to add the flows to two junctions, one for each side of the property, then add the two junctions to an outfall (overall site). i do not want to model the pipes, just want to add hydro graphs.
my each junction has two direct links coming from two other upstream junctions, and then this junction flows out by a direct link to the overall site outfall (the set of junctions from the other site does the same). i cannot run the model because of the error:
ERROR 134 : Node TOTAL-EAST has more than one DIRECT outlet link or DESIGN pump.
ERROR 134 : Node TOTAL-WEST has more than one DIRECT outlet link or DESIGN pump.
I have an SSA model that has multiple on-grade inlets along a city street. Each on-grade inlet has a roadway/gutter bypass link defined (the link is defined as 'direct' in the conveyance link properties) and where applicable an upstream roadway link. Therefore most inlets have a direct link coming in and a direct link leaving to represent the gutter bypass flows. The model will successfully run under kinematic wave routing method. When changed to hydrodynamic, I get Error 134 stating:
ERROR 134 : Node CB-13 has more than one DIRECT outlet link or DESIGN pump.
I know that it is fairly self explanatory error except the error does not appear for every inlet that I have defined direct links for. Some inlets that have one incoming direct link and one outgoing direct link are not listed in the error listing, while some do. In review of the model, I do not appear to have multiple direct outlet links (I also don't recall drawing more than one per structure in my model). Based on my review of SSA documents, it seemed like modeling bypass flows using direct links as opposed to open channel flow was the most common practice. That said, if I change the outgoing direct link to open channel, that inlet is removed from the error list.
Version:2014 Civil 3D
I'm just starting to learn how to use the 3D environment in AutoCAD (2014 version). I'm following some tutorials but I'm a bit confused regarding direct input values when using the polyline command.
I've drawn a 50mm square, starting at coordinate 130,130,0 (lower left corner) using the polyline command (NOT using the Close command to complete the square). The next step then states draw a second polyline using the following input @7<45,55 to locate the first corner, then draw a 40mm square. It doesn't quite put the inner square where I'd have expected it so I wanted to tweek the command to correct any error but I haven't used the @ symbol or < sign before. What the input description means? From testing it appears to base the starting point of the inner square in relation to the outer square.
I've been using flatten for a long time and I just noticed that after flattening an objects sometimes it doesn't give you the exact shape of an object. Is there a reason why?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI cannot get the advanced select objects tools to work.
I type:
select <enter>
wp <enter>
Make my polygon, and then I'm stuck in a single item select mode. If I hit enter, they all unselect and I can't do anything. Typing a command (like "m") does nothing.
Typing m <enter>, and then doing the selection yields the same result. At the end of my selection process and I hit <enter>, it sits in the single object selection mode (the little box cursor). Hitting <enter> here again makes the selection dissapear and I'm back to square one.
every time I select something a small box pops up in my way with the object's properties. I can't figure out how it became turned on, and don't know how to get rid of it.

i am selecting an object to move but rather than moving it alone its moving like stretch!
Virtually all coordinate entry as well as many other tools and operations reference the current UCS. 2D tools.
Absolute and relative coordinate entry Absolute reference angles Definition of horizontal and vertical for Ortho mode, polar tracking, object snap tracking, grid display,and grid snap Orientation of horizontal and vertical dimensions Orientation of text objects View rotation using the PLAN command
Moving or rotating the UCS can make it easier to work on particular areas of a drawing. However when selecting an object or a portion of the dwg. crossing - window , (a good exemple is stretching) the selection of the area is still 'rectangular' from the ortho of 0° or 90°. This cross-window selection should follow the direction of the ortho angle selected. Is there a command or a setting in order for this operation to take place? IF NOT for future autoCad releases or a update for current releases should be reviewed and implemented

i did some other arrays in the same file before and they are working with no problem.
Is there a way to change linetypes within a certain object?

I want to show hidden lines under another object.
So far, what I do is trim the existing lines and draw new ones with a new layer.
After working for a short time in 3D, my object snaps dont actually connect to any visible corners or points on the item I have chosen to edit or move. The triangle or square appears further from the point I select. The only work around is to close down the program and restart. After only a few transactions, the problem starts again.I have checked the system and found it is using the latest driver.
