AutoCAD 2010 :: Model View From Block VLISP

Nov 6, 2013

I'm trying to create something great VLISP app that extracts an attribute and vertices for each instance of a selected block and creates a model view based on those inputs. This is my first attempt at a VLISP app.

Let's say there's a drawing populated with a block that has multiple visibility states for different size viewports and an attribute to label your sheet number. Once they are laid out, you run this app and it prompts you to select the "viewport block" that is placed. The app extracts the block name and for each instance it extracts the attribute name (sheet number) and vertices of the extents for the viewport. You will need to add the insertion point to the vertices, so that will have to be extracted as well. The app will then run the VIEW command to make a model view with the extracted data from each block.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Plot One Or More Of Drawings In Model View To PDF

Oct 8, 2012

When I attempt to plot one or more of my drawings in model view to pdf the plot will show gaps in between the edge of the paper and my border. The plot will vary per drawing but limited to the ledger and tabloid paper size, the plot area is set to window for the area the border contains, and the plot scale is fit to paper.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Model Object Colour Changes After Switching From Layout View To Model View

Jun 14, 2012

CIvil 3D 2013 / My drawing opens in layout view and all model objects are appropriately coloured by layer. If I hit plot at this point, my colour dependent .ctb file works fine. However, once I swtich to model view, all my linework turns white and if I switch back to Layout view it remains white and plots each line with the weight assigned to the colour white.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Label Block For View?

May 31, 2012

In the Sheet Set Manager, in the Sheet List tab, if you click on the project name and Righ-Click and select Properties, you can see the file to be used as the Label Block for Views. It appears that there can be only one block chosen.

I would like on our Enlarged Plan drawings to use another block.I made a subset for these Enlarged Plans, but Right-Clicking on it does not offer a place to specify a different block.

Is there anyway to have a different block for a subset of drawing?

AutoCad :: Model Space View To Match Viewport View?

May 14, 2013

Let’s say you have a large building plan in model space but there is only one small area of the building that the view port is looking at. Is there a way that you can draw around that viewport and then take that into model space and paste it in the same place so now you have the same area located in both views?

At the moment I need to try and work out where the view is by drawing a rectangle around the correct area of the building and this is time consuming.

I could then trim/delete everything else outside that box.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Find Primary Point Group Using VLisp

Aug 30, 2013

When I use the AutoCAD List command on a Civil 3d Point, one reported datum is Primary Point Group.

I want to get at that information with vlisp, but when I vlax-dump a point, there is no mention of Primary Point Group. If that's a limitation of using vlisp, let me know, and I won't chase it. 

Maybe I have to go in through the point groups collection?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotate 3D Model In Model Space?

Apr 13, 2012

Basically I've got a detail specific to my design, I've extruded all of the layers up to their desired levels etc, but now I want to be able to rotate it all so that instead of these layers being orientated vertically, they are orientated horizontally, if that makes sense. I understand that there is something involved with the UCS but I'm not sure how to get this to work. This may be an issue with my computer as I know my laptop graphics card is pretty rubbish and impacts a lot of 3d programs such as Rhino and SketchUp so this could be the issue here

AutoCAD 2010 :: Inserting New Block And Entering Attribute Data By Selecting Another Block?

Aug 13, 2012

Is it possible, via whatever methods (lisp?) to be able to have a premade block with an attribute and insert it into a drawing then assign a value to it by selecting another existing block in the drawing and using one of its own attribute’s values?

For example, say I have a block representing a telephone and it had an attribute called "PhoneNo" and I inserted it into a drawing showing an office floor plan that had blocks in each office space that are telephone junction boxes with attributes "PhoneExtension".  I would like to be able to autocomplete the entering of the “PhoneNo” data by selecting one of the telephone junction boxes in the drawing and using its attribute’s value.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Convert Block Back To Title Block Or Border

Feb 15, 2012

We have a title block and border which is used in MS.  If this is referenced using AMTITLE then it acts as expected.  We issue these to some external people to create our drawings but they have been using CTRL-C and V to place them in a new drawing.  ACAD does now not see them as a Title block or border but as blocks.  We have a process to bring DWG's into SAP and this will check for a title block and border. 

The issue is we need to fix these drawings and currently this means removing the borders and title blocks and placing new ones then adding all the attributes again.  Is there a way to convert the blocks back to how they should be?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Way To Have Block Within Block That Has Same Ability To Move Around

Aug 15, 2013

I have a block (room info) that has five line os text with attributes that display grips which allow them to be moved in whatever drawing I put them in. Within that block there is a little polyline that is the square with a dash through it to represent sq. ft. that I made into a seperate block ( sq ft tick). The room info block part of it works great in all my drawings, but the darn sq ft tick block within the room info block won't budge! I have tried giving it a seperate insertion point and giving that block its own attribute, but no luck.

Is there any way to have a block within a block that has the same ability to move around as the other elements?

Revit :: How To View And Rotate A 3D Model From Autocad

Dec 3, 2010

Some time ago, I used Adobe Reader (the basic one) to view and rotate a 3D model from Autocad. Yes, I know that I can export a Revit model into a DWFX and view it in Design Review, but that requires a ferr Design Review download. Some clients don't have administrator rights, are too lazy, don't have the computer savy to install, etc..., so a PDF 3D model would be nice.
 
---Is this possible with Revit?
---Is this possible with Autocad?
 
I have Adobe X Pro where I can enable this if Revit and CAD have the ability to print a 3D PDF.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Use Layout As Model View

Jun 19, 2013

As the layout tabs I'd like to have a multiple model-views tabs.

I can use layouts tabs, I can change the background color to same as model tab and all its ok. 

However I'm unable to set scale to have text and annotation with a "human" size (that is, thinking on my screen and not on the paper).

Maybe this is a newbie question but I'm lost....

What is what I must to set ? I dont want to use layout to print, but to view my drawing with custom layer settings.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW View Skews When Model Changes

Jan 7, 2013

IDW views:

Regarding a view created from a part that is not on an orthographic plane in the model:

After placing a standard idw view from a model that's on a weird angle to the construction plane, I have to "rotate" it, and then create another projected view from that view, and then rotate the new view, and create a projected view from that 2nd view, and then rotate that 3rd view, in order to get an orthographic view into the drawing.

BUT, when the model changes, the main view skews, and is therefore not orthographic any longer.

When that happens, the program forces me to start from scratch, and create a new main view, and then basically re-draw the entire idw sheet. This is a total time waster, and costs $$$.

Is there any known way to make the original view return a true orthographic view?

Please note that once the view has dependent views, the 'rotate view' command is disabled.

AutoCad 3D :: Creating Exploded View Of A Model

I have made a 3d model of my balcony by simply extruding the steel profiles I used in my sections. I then used the union command to join them all together.

I now think and exploded isometric may be the better way to present the drawing but as I have now made the frame all one element what is the best way to seperate it?

the corners I think will be easy I just create a planar at 45 degrees and use that to split the corners but is there an easy way to seperate the mid PFC and angle?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Overall Model Dimensions In Title Block

Nov 13, 2013

I'm looking for a solution to place the overall model dimensions in the title block.

We have a box (Promted entry) in our company title block were we manually typ our overall dimension of a part (or in some cases assembly). 

For our planning engineer this is easy because he can easy see the dimensions of the "base material" or the size of a container / box in case of an assembly.

 The risk that sometimes people forget to change these dimension when the model is changes.

Now I'm looking for a solution (e.g. VBA / iLogic) to place the overall dimensions Automatically in the title block.

The overall dimensions are available in the "BIM Exchange" menu > Check Design. Maybe these dimensions can be used.

We're using Inventor 2014.
