AutoCAD 2010 :: Polar Array Function

Jul 2, 2013

I have drawn a bar counter in 3d which has a top rectangular shape with curved corners. The front of the bar has 100mm wide wooden fascia panels and they need to follow the line of the bar. I am using the Polar Array function which works great except I cant seem to get the panels to follow the curves/arcs around the corners, but they sit neatly on all the straight edges of the bar. So in other words the panels are straight and lined up on the straight parts of the bar but the panels stay at 90 degrees instead of following the curved areas of the bar.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Polar Array Of A Circle

Dec 5, 2012

I am trying to do a polar array of a small circle within a large circle. I chose the center point of the large circle as the center point of the array, but for some reason the smaller circles are not in perfect array as some one them slightly overlap the larger circle. Is there some way to calibrate it correctly?

AutoCad 3D :: Edit Holes In Polar Array?

Dec 13, 2012

I put the three holes in the outer ears/lugs with a Polar Array and want to change their diameter to make them smaller. If try to use Delete Faces to remove the holes it drastically effects one of the other lugs.

Is there a better way to edit holes in an array and is there a way to make arrays non-associative after the fact of creating them? The dwg is saved in 2007 but created with 2013

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Unable To Find Drop Down For Polar Array

Jun 26, 2013

I cannot find the drop down for Polar array.  I just have the 4 squares  for array when I click on it I can request polar as the array type but it gives me a quirky menu with grips and does not allow me to set fill angles and number of pieces. I had issues loading this program, Map3D 2013 and was wondering if it was skipped in the installation, The circular pattern button is not on list of commands but does show in the documentation provided.

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Polar Stretch And Array

Dec 6, 2007

i'm trying to do a polar stretch and array for rigid insulation. RIGID2.dwg is my best option. but as you can see in the jpg, the first line should have arrayed already, because the gap is over 2". i tried to follow the instruction someone used for the clothes hangers URL.... and it resulted in RIGID.dwg, with the lines rotating off the main line.

AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Draw A Polar Array Around A Rectangular Shape

Apr 29, 2013

I do not understand how to draw a polar array around a rectangular shape. If it were a rectagular dining table of any size how do I array the dining chairs around the table's shape. Alternatively what if I had a large square table and wanted to array 12 chairs with 3 chairs on on each side of the table ?????  I get polar arrays around a circle or polygon but do not understand the rectangle concept ???

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Creating Array Using Split Function?

SheetNumber = arrFileName(2)

I'd like to do the same thing in lsp. I don't want to be limited to three fields so the split function is perfect.Is there an equivalent?

AutoCAD 2010 :: POLAR And ORTHO Dynamic Displacement Display

Aug 22, 2013

I would love for my 2011 and 2013 to work the same as my 2008 does.

In 2008, when I grab a grip and stretch it with either ortho or polar turned on, I get a little tooltip beside the crosshairs.  All it says is the distance and the angle, and whether it is Ortho or Polar.  For example, if I stretch to the left with ortho on, it may say  

Ortho: 16.55 < 180°

Or if I stretch up and to the right with Polar on, it will say

Polar: 16.55 < 45°

I really, really really want this back!  This is not dynamic input, I hate all that ridiculous clutter around my crosshairs.  But this little info box is absolutely invaluable!

I have checked the Tooltip setting (on in all versions),  And I've been playing with all the Dynamic Input settings, but I can't get it to work.  The odd part is that 2011 was working until about a week ago.  I'm not sure if 2013 was or not.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Using The Dynamic Array Function

Nov 21, 2013

I have created a small dynamic block that manipulated some lines (attached). The properties table allows s1, b1, b2 and c to be modified.  The white lines control the cyan and red.

The red-lines have an array within (green lines) which I want to lock to the blue line parametrically. The array may be dragged physically but thats not the point; its need to be automatic (Revit style).

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Get The Old Array Style Back

Jun 2, 2011

My company just got all new computers and upgraded out AutoCAD to 2012 from 2009. And every single drafter has complained to me that the new Array is terrible. Basically, it seems to take 10 times as long to set up and array as it used to and now it's linking all of the objects together as a group which is absolutely terrible for what we do especially when we are making 4 or 5 columns or hundreds of objects. I cant find any classic or legacy array commands.

This really needs to be put back in because right now everyone is asking us to put AutoCAD 2009 back on the computers, and the whole reason we bought new PCs is because they couldn't run anything after 2009 without being too slow to be productive.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Edit Array With Parameters Manager

Oct 23, 2012

I want to make a grid that is adjustable by editing parameters. I want to change the size of the blocks. And i want to change the number of blocks in the x-direction and y-direction.

I have created a square with a width of 50mm and a height of 20mm. I have created 2 parameters called width and height. Next I added dimensions to the square and i call those dimensions width and height. Now I can adjust the width and height of the square by editing the parameters.

Next I want to copy this square in the x- and y-direction so that you get a grid. The number of copies in x-direction I call number-x. The same in the y-direction.

I then link the number-x and number-y to 2 parameters that i have named number-x and number-y.

The distance between the squares has to be the same as the size of the first square. Only then you get a grid. So i created parameters for this to. I call them width2 and height2.

Now I can adjust the size of the grid by editing these parameters. When i change number-x or number the grid becomes larger. But when i want to change the size of the initial square, it doesn't work. I think because of the fact that the first square has become a part of an array.

How to make a grid that is adjustable nu editing parameters in the parameters manager?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Do Solid / Subtract With Array Items

Sep 27, 2011

If you have a housing with say, 12 cylinders in the flange which are to be cut out of the housing to become the 12 bolt-holes.  If you positioned your cylinders using polar array, are you supposed to be able to use the command solid/substract?  I can't as it won't pick the array parts to cut.  I had to resort to rotating/copy all the cylinders around the flange and then it works great. Any way to do holes through a solid...

AutoCad 2D :: Use Path Array Feature On 2013 To Array Stairs

Sep 19, 2012

I'm trying to use the PATH array feature on 2013 to array stairs, and I can't get the array to be 100% accurate. It seems like CAD rounds the decimal to the nearest 3/4" which could be causing the problem.

I set my run to 10.5" and rise to 7.25", array along the angle of the stringer, and there's always a small overlap on the stairs. The "distance between" should be 1'-209/256" and CAD rounds it to 1'-3/4" which is where I believe the error is. Is there any way to fix this or array this correctly? Otherwise...back to the COPY method I suppose.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Create Array (of Circles) That Stretch To Length Of Bar Spanning Left To Right

Aug 16, 2012

Okay, I'm new to associative arrays, I'm attaching a drawing so you can see what I'm trying to accomplish with this.  I'm doing an elevation view of a slab that has a cross section of the rebar.  I've shown one of the bars spanning from left to right, represented by a rectangle, and the cross section of the bars running front to back represented by circles. You can see what I'm trying to show here.  In the drawing I've attached, the top three sketches are examples of how this would look if it were working correctly.

What I'm trying to do is create an array (of circles) that will stretch to the length of the bar spanning left to right.  I want the quantity of items in the array to automatically change based on the length of the bar and the spacing of items, so if there is 6" of spacing between the items instead of 12" it will automatically add twice the amount of items to fill in that space.  I've been trying to use a path array, and it isn't working the way I want.  I'm not familiar with rectangular arrays, so not sure what to do there either.
