AutoCAD 2010 :: Matching Polylines
Jan 3, 2013
I have drawings at the moment where I need to convert some lines to polylines. I know you can use PEDIT and PEDITACCEPT=1 but i want to match properties at the same time.
Just wondering if there is a comand or lisp routine that duplicates the MATCHPROPERTIES command but converts lines to plolylines at the same time, this way all i would need to do is type in the appropriate command and select my source polyline and get multiple duplicate polylines by clicking the lines I wish to change?

As the above mentioned, I have a drawing drawn using polylines with width from someone. The width of the line are suppose to represent area,
To put things into prospective, here is an example:
The polyline is 10 unit long and with a width of 2 unit wide. If i explode that polyline, it will become a single polyline without width. The line are suppose to represent 10 unit long and 2 unit wide; representing an area.
My question is is there a way to change the line above directly from polyline with width to a close polyline (4 x polylines) of 10 unit long and 2 unit wide.

I've seen it's possible to match a property from one drawing into other using the same command. It's necessary to set something else?

My main issue with 2010 is with Match Properties. When I start the command, I am used to selecting the source object and then selecting those to be changed. With 2010, the command prompt is asking that I select all objects to be changed and THEN select the source.
I love AutoCAD 2008. As soon as I started using 2009, then 10, and 2012, I realized that the Autodesk engineers are attempting to 'improve' the program but not for those who have been using cad for 10-15 yrs, but rather for those who are new to it. It stinks!! I don't want CAD to be so 'user-friendly' that it clogs the system, adds a bunch of nuances that we don't want, and makes things more cumbersome!

Is there any way to have 3d polylines show a linetype? I need to have my contours that are created as a 3d polyline show up as a hidden linetype. These polylines came from an aerial mapping and have lots of vertices.

I'm trying to create a 3D solid from four 3d polylines that represent a bridge deck .
If it is not possible to create a 3D solid, can i create a surface?

Whenever I select a block or polyline in 2012, the program hangs for about 1 minute. This never happens when using 2010 on the same system. Obviously this can't continue.

Is there a way that I can add multiple polylines in feet and inches? I downloaded some lisp routines, but they are not in feet and inches.

In 2007, I was able to select multiple polylines before typeing in PEDIT. When I was done with the command, I could then type in PEDIT and L for last and it would select the multiple polylines I had first selected. We just got 2012, and when I do L now it just selects one line. Can I change this?

I have several days of experience with Autocad 2010... The problem: I have many (a lot) polylines in my 2D drawing that are adjacent to each other, but not joined. What is a good way of joining them, so that those that "touch" each other become one? Maybe I can hatch the area, then delete polylines and then reconstruct the boundary?

Is there a way of converting 3d polylines to polylines with an elevation?
I have a dwg of contour information, the contours are 3d polylines, because they are contours the z value is constant all along the line, so there no question what the elevation of the polyline would need to be.
I need to do this as I then need to import the dwg into a GIS programme called MapInfo whch doesn't read 3d polylines.
I have access to AutoCAD 2004 or 2005LT.

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.

how to match up certain points. I have imported 2 point clouds and have tried to use the 'align' tool to specify three points from the source object (cloud) and three points from the destination object (cloud). When doing this, it does not properly align them. The point cloud makes it difficult to select the exact point I would like to align, since there may not be a point at that exact location, but close to it. Does AutoCAD require the points in alignment to match up perfectly or is it capable of doing a best fit?
Also, is AutoCAD capable of creating a solid 3D piece from the point cloud? I would like to take all of my points and make a smooth object.

We have two drafting assistants using LT 2010, with Windows XP. One is assigned to do record plotting, and uses our company standard .ctb file without any problems.
The second LT 2010 user has now been assigned to assist with record plotting. However, lineweights are plotting out about half the width of the specified .ctb file. We have double-checked all the ACAD LT & Windows plot settings, and they are identical for both drafting assistants.
Is there a system variable or other setting that I am missing?

Is it possible to match the ends of two splines (whose end points are coincident) such that there is tangency between them. This would require the end control vertex (CV) and preceding CV for each spline to become aligned? I have explored the SPLINEDIT options and see there is a FIT DATA option that leads to TANGENTS option but I'm not sure how this works and whether it will give the desired effect.

i have
Dwg A: Circle & Square is drawn in the model space and 2 Viewports in Paper Space annotating the 2 objects
Dwg B: Triangle is drawn in model space and 1 viewport in paper space annotating the triangle
i want to bring the Square detail (model and viewport with annotation) from Dwg A to Dwg B,while copying the Square and pasting it in Dwg B with the same reference points, i am having the square object over the Triangle in model space.I do not want to move the triangle since that is matched with the viewport on the paper space and annotated
i want to move the Square to a new reference (while pasting) BUT in a way to have the layout annotations matching and being asscociated with it,

When i match dimension styles from one viewport in layouts to another, all scaled to the same scale, the dimensions match nicely.
However if i move the second dimension, the one matched to the first, the dimension changes to another scale.

I'm using CAD 2009. I've inserted a Bitmap image (a company logo) and I want to insert text with the same colour as the logo.
Can I sample the colour in the logo and apply it to the text? NB - I really don't want to go through all the colour options in CAD to find the nearest match.
I want to do something like the Microsoft Paint 'Pick Color' option.

I've enlarged a component by dragging the mouse to the desired size (by visual inspection). I have a second (similar) component I'd like to scale to be the exact same size, but I'm not sure of the easiest way to do it. I'm thinking there must be a way to reference the scale of the first component to match its scale with the second component.

I downloaded a free PDF to DWG converter and converted a land survey PDF to DWG, subsequently i imported the file to ACAD 2006 LT.
I would like to be able to dimension the drawing using the dimensions from the PDF, this would require some form of rescaling.
I've attached the file, you can see the line i've dimensioned is 80,6 units whereas the drawing is detailed 312.63 feet - how do i make them match?

I specify a template when I open a new auotocad file and drawi some shapes in autocad with c#.
the problem is the coordinates that I use to draw shapes does not match the template file and therefore the shapes are misplaced.(I am using centimeters for my code).
how can I change the coordinate of the template file to match my code coordinate?

I used to have a third party plugin that had a "clone" command.
It was like "Add Selcted" & keep matching the properies for more new objects. So new objects would match the layer, linetype, etc.of what was previosly selected Not just the once.
Is there a command like this in ACA 2012 ?

I created a file with all the blocks that I use of horn/strobes and strobes only for fire alarm systems and made a tool pallet. I've had to edit and tweak them until they fit my needs but now when I opened autocad my tool pallet was gone so I made another one but now my blocks are not the new revised blocks but the old ones. I double checked the path for the file and it's correct. When I open the file containing the blocks they look and behave like the blocks I revised.
