Is there a command out there that allows you to mirror objects from an apparent midpoint from like an otrack without physically drawing a line then having to erase it later? I thought there was a way to do it, but my memory is failing me.
View 1 RepliesIm trying to dimension the midpoints of a series vertical beams thats perpendicular to the x axis. How to dimension the midpoint of one beam to the midpoint of another beam?
Normally i just select dimlinear and then ctl + right click "mid between 2 points", but this way just seems time consuming when you have a series of them to do, is there a better way to dimension a series of beams from one midpoint to another midpoint?
How to place the “midpoint” of window on the midpoint of wall?
In the screenshot below, I wanted to place the window from its midpoint to the midpoint of the wall. How this can be performed on Revit?
I have a 3D polyline (blue in attached) for which I am trying to calculate the surface area. I use the area-->object command and get 1912342m2 in AutoCAD 2012. My colleague uses the same command in AutoCAD LT 2009 and gets 1807093m2. Due to the discrepancy, I roughly traced a polyline (yellow in attached) around the area in AutoCAD 2012 and I get approx. 1810000m2 so assumedly the AutoCAD LT 2009 version is giving the correct answer while my AutoCAD 2012 is not!
Why am I getting a different area for the polylines...is the difference is due to it being a 3D polyline? Is there a way I can ensure I obtain the correct area using the 3D polyline?
If you can mirror a block without mirroring the text within? I tried the mirror text variable and it did not effect the way the block was mirrored.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI got a simple question about the creation of copies of an object. Is it possible to have the objects in the mirroring of an object change with the object used as reference for mirroring?
If there is no function to do this directly is there a way to do it via Ilogics to update the mirrored objects? If possible even by deleting and creating a new the mirroring yet not manually but by i logic?

I can't snap to a midpoint in a line. For example, If I draw a line 10" long, I can't draw a line from the center of that line. It used to give me an auto snap option to go to, but now it only allows me to snap to the ends of that line.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow would one add a sketch-point to a midpoint of an arc? For a SketchLine its easy...

However, I can't see how to do the same operation to find the midpoint of a SketchArc. The interface of course has a selection filter for this so I assume the API can do the same?
on my work pc i'm missing two features i used to have:
- Firstly, when i click a PL i can't see the midpoint of the line, and can't drag the line like i used to. I tried to change GRIPS, but can only choose between 0 and 1 when choosing grips. 0 being nothing visible, 1 being visible endpoints of the polylines. 2 is NOT valid options that i can choose.
- I can't add a new vertex. I think the way i used to do it was to hover over the midpoint and it would suggest if i wanted to add a new vertex. If this is the case, it's obvious that if i get problem 1 fixed, problem 2 will solve itself.
Having problems dimensioning to an apparent intersection in an IDW?
Once I hover over both lines to show the intersect and both line do intersect but it should turn green, it's not, it just keeps yellow.
It is placing the dim in the right place but it's also not drawing in the intersect lines.
It was working last month as I have a drawing to prove it.This is on a few machines.
Also moving dimension is a problem. Sometimes they will not reattach after moving one end.

I need to define a mate constraint with a workplane as EntityOne and a midpoint from an Edge as EntityTwo.
API-Help tells me valid objects are planar faces, linear edges, vertices, cylindrical faces, conical faces, spherical faces, revolved faces, work planes, work axes, and work points.
The Edge object gives me StartVertex and StopVertex, but what about the midpoint?
I'm using ACA 2008 and used to be able to pick two lines that didn't physically cross each other and use the trim command to trim them based on where they would cross if they extended to each other. But it doesn't seem to do it anymore.
Best way I can describe it is it used to trim at the apparent interest ion of where they would come together. I'm sure there's some easy fix to this, just don't know where it's at.
I'm electrical and have my own display set oddly enough named "electrical". When I set the display to "electrical" I can't osnap to endpoint or midpoint of smart walls in the background (nearest works fine). When I change the display to something else, generally it works.
Is there an "osnap" setting for displays?
When I use a tool such as 'move'/'select base point' in the sketch environment, I used to be able to select line midpoints.
Is this no longer possible? My constraint options seem to be fine.

I'm having a frequent but random problem with Multileaders where the landing distance will change on its own from its initial standard 1/8 inch to some relatively large negative distance which also causes the landing to disappear altogether. If I use the move trick for resetting all elevations to zero (Move 0,0,10e99 then 0,0,10e-99) the landing will reappear connecting the landing grip at the strange negative offset.
The problem seems only to happen when the leader is connected to the bottom right of the note.
When I remove the leader and add a new leader it appears correct but as soon as I save the drawing the affected Multileaders will again present this problem.

How can use the Osnap "APParent Intersect" into a Lisp.Others osnap options use only one point as CENter option below:
(setq pt2 (osnap pt1 "cen"))
But to use APParent Intersect ou Perpendicular is necessary two points.I've tried use:
(setq pt2 (osnap pt1 "app"))
(setq pt2 (osnap pt1 pt2 "app"))
(setq pt2 (osnap pt1 "app" pt2))
(setq pt2 (osnap "app" pt1 pt2))
How to keep text from mirroring? I know about the MIRRTEXT command and set it to "0", but my text still mirrors. It's not just one bit of text, if I mirror my entire drawing, every piece of text in it does, too. A co-worker a year ago had figured out how to keep some certain objects with text in them (shelving/tables - we do foodservice layouts) from mirroring, but it has been so long, she forgot the program.

I have an AutoLISP program that hangs up for no apparent reason. I can run the program with an Alert in the loop. The program is a sheet generator, creating a border (insert with attributes), dimensions and MultiLeaders in Model Space, then a new Layout Tab is generated and the new elements are CHSPACEd into the new layout. An Alert temporarily halts the program once the task of a new Layout is created. In this form, the program works as designed. However, if I comment out the Alert, the program hangs up as if in an infinite loop. Also, hitting Escape does not cancel the AutoLISP, I must use Task Manager to end AutoCAD instead. My computer was recently upgraded to Win7 64-bit. I'm running 64-bit versions of software. (AutoCAD MAP 2011).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently looking into mirroring and arrays and i wondered if it is possible to have some kind of adaptive mirroring activated or used.
The aim is as i change the instance which is arrayed or mirrored i want the objects in the array and the mirrored parts changed too.
If it is´not possible just like that i would want to do a macro or i logic form that updates the array or mirror to have matching parts again.
I have installed the service pack, but I am still having trouble getting my structural steel shapes to mirror correctly. The green button is not an option for these parts, only the yellow and grey. I can, however, mirror everything else properly. How do I get these parts to mirror correctly?
