How to fillet a 3D polyline with AC2012?

How to automatically set the corner bend radius of a sweep along a 3D polyline?
The attached image shows what I did in a different program, but need to repeat with AC. The swept 3D object is moved off its path in the attached image.
Is there a way to sweep a 3d polyline in AutoCAD 2012? Colleague has a sweep path that he wants to put radii in the corners. I know that in the past you could not do it. I didn't see anything in any post that told me otherwise.

Is there a way to put a FILLET radius in a polyline? (2D dwg)
e.g. a straight line crosses a radius, both lines trimmed off, turned into a polyline and joined using PEDIT.
When I try to put a FILLET radius between the straight line and the original radius, the command line quotes;`Cannot fillet polyline arc segements'
I've been searching on and off all morning for a lisp routine, without any luck. I'm trying to draw a pline with a pre determined width (5") and be able to draw unlimited line segments then automatically fillet with a pre determined radius (5").
I wrote this generic macro: ^C^CPLINEWID;5;PL;\\;FILLET;R;5;F;P;LAST; to save SOME time but I want unlimited line segments. Can this be modified or would a lisp be the better route to go?
What settings has changed to make any polyline I offset to add a radius fillet to it. See attachment

I have a lips that creates a zero radius fillet.
(defun c:FZ () (setvar "FILLETRAD" 0)(command "_.fillet" "multiple"))
This works great.I would like to expand this by turning the line into a polyline..
How do you convert a closed Polyline to 2D Polyline? CONVERT does not work in reverse.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I define the fillet radius in a drawing and close the drawing, then next time I open the drawing, the fillet radius has defaulted back to 0 and I have to redefine it again. Is there a way to maintain the fillet radius in a drawing so that I do not have to redefine it every time I open the drawing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to fillet plines to make rounded curbs at street intersections. Whenever I create the fillet, the 2 plines that were filleted remain as they were before the fillet.
This only happens on my computer and only in AutoCAD 2011, it works fine in Civil3D 2011. We only have a limited number of Civil3D licenses or I would just use that all the time.
The attached screenshot shows an example of what happens. The 2 red lines are what were filletted (the fillet is in white). Both lines are long enough to accomodate the radius of the fillet.
What is causing this problem?
I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 and received a .DXF file that contains 'solid' objects. Unfortunately the next tool in my workflow doesn't understand 'solids' only polylines (and a few other basic shapes like circles, lines, etc). Is there some way to convert the object in AutoCAD?
I tried the 'boundary' command but when it asks to 'Pick Points' and I click inside the solid, it always gives the error 'Valid hatch boundary not found'.
What am I missing here?
How to get the individual polyline length of the entire drawing as per the name of the line written against him in the excel sheet. That would prepare the Bar bending schedule quickly.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a block that contains polylines. these polylines need to be able to have the width of them set individually.
What parameter do i need to assign so that this can happen?
I've had a problem for a while now trying to extrude a 3d polyline into a 3d solid. The polyline is on different planes which is one cause of why it won't work. Instead of extruding into a solid it only does the sides making it a mesh rather than a solid. If its on one plane I know it will work.

But sometimes when i Join them it turns them into a Spline which i dont want.
Then i have to convert it into a polyline and it then it adds load of points/grips on the line which i dont want.
Is there a setting that stops the lines converting to a spline
Any command or lisp that will do new pollyline between two polyline on 1/3 or 1/4 space between them.
I need something that would be faster, use measure on pollilines then i draw between horizontall polylines on verteks or point new pollyline and ther divide it on 4 or 3 parts.
Autocad 2011 and 2011 LT both give the wrong area for sertain polylines. While Autocad 2005 gives the correct area.
Its terrifying how many official documents may be wrong because of this bug.
The vertices of the polyline cant’ be extracted!
The “list” command does give the coordinates of the vertices of the polyline while these data can’t be extracted by using the command “Extract Data”.
Is there some workaround to have the vertices of the polyline extracted in a table?

I am some trouble working with 3dface. I want convert 3dface to polyline but in some cases I faces with problem that a 3dface don't convert surface or solid.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a sinusoidal curve, that I've created using a third party app, which has worked really well. But the app only produces the form in a straight line and i now need to fit it to a number of curves.
I have a form of 3 radii and a couple of flats, which the sinusoidal form needs to fit along. All this work is just in 2D as i need to output the dxf into a CNC machine.
I would like to explode a polygone I've created within a block.
But I get the "_amexplode This command is not allowed while the REFEDIT command is active."
Um so, I have to explode the block, explode the ployline/polygone and recreate the block.
Or, I could minus the polygone from the block set, save the block, explode the polygone, reopen the block and add the lines back in.
I don't see an explode option in the "pedit" options.
Am I missing something here, is there more than one explode command now? It worked in a previous version.
I have polylines and changed the width to 3/4" and now the Plines are not solid (filled like a hatch) anymore? They are splined as well. I must have changed a setting somewhere and did not know it. AutoCAD 2012.

I am hatching (a very quick sketch for info) but the hatch lines are going across the ploy line zone.
What happening. I cannot snap to these, but if in put a selection window acorss an of the lines, it will select the hatch.
I dont want to see these and dont want to have to hatch indivual rectangles. Never seen this before.
I cannot see anythign obvious in any of the settings.
I drew a very complicated 2-D plot this afternoon. The most majority of the plot is composed of different straight lines, arcs. Then I used the polyline function to join them together to form a closed single polyline (Modify->object->polyline).
Later on I want to change something in part of the polyline. Then I used the 'pedit' again, I chose 'open'. But the whole polyline won't break into its original segments. I tried through all the menus, just cannot find the right tool for this purpose.
Does it mean I have to start over from scratch to redraw the whole plot?
I recently exploded text but now i need it to be a Polyline, when using PEDIT.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is something I should know as a long time CAD user. I have line of points, ~200 on the screen and I want to draw a polyline through them without selecting each point. I know there was a command to select the first point and the last and ACAD would draw the line between. I am using AutoCAD 2010.

Cannot create solid from open curve.
Cannot sweep or extrude non-planar objects.
Unable to extrude the selected object.
Other folks have opened my drawing – some can extrude, some get the same or similar message. I’ve tried re-building the shapes to extrude. It worked with one thing this morning and now it won’t extrude again.
I have a polyline wich has 3150.25m I have to break this into 100m length from one end. How to do this.?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt used to be that when you selected a ployline onscreen you could set properties for the line in the properties dialog. With this version of ACAD, if the polyline is not of uniform width on all sections then the global width option is missing from the options dialog.
I know that you can now right click and go polyline/width but i suppose i have been doing this a certain way for so long and now i cant and its annoying.
