AutoCAD 2010 :: Polyline Width In Blocks
Sep 11, 2012I 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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Polyline Not Solid After Changing Width
Aug 31, 2012I 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.

Sep 10, 2012It 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.

Sep 12, 2012I'm drawing a polyline with a width of 5". In previous versions, the pline would always appear solid. Now it appears clear. I want it to appear solid. If this is editable in the pline properties, or if it's something you turn on after you pick the first point, much like typing 'W' to enter the width?

Jan 14, 2013i have a set of coordinates, not on the polyline. i want to find the polyline width where that coodinate intersects perpendicular to the polyline (shortest distance). without going through all the vertices.
i have a polyline with many segments with varying width, which are constant through the each segments (no taper width). need to read off the "instantaneous" width.
just 2dpoly or lwpoly not 3d.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Width Polyline
Oct 22, 2012I am having a problem with trying to come up with a way to create an inventor entity that is like an an autocad multi-width polyline. We make some of our lines in our silk screen as multi-width polylines - see example fig 1. I can't figure out how to accomplish this type of line effect in inventor - see example fig 2. We are actively trying to move from MDT2009 to Inventor and i can recreate most everything except this multi-width polyline.-

Aug 24, 2011Can it be done like you can with Text etc?
i know it can be done via lineweights, but you cant "lock" the lineweight in model space,
at the mo, to generate a thinkness in a line i use the global width for that pline.
i dont want to use line weights as i sometimes have multiple lines with different widths on the same layer, i could split the layers, but i'd rather not to.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Set Specific Width Of Polyline On One Layer
Sep 20, 2012I know you can change the width of the polyline by using the command "plinewid". Is there a way to set a specific width of the polyline on just one specific layer?
For example, I create a layer called "WIDE", and I want the width of the polyline to be 4". But i want the pline width to be 4" ONLY whenever I draw on this particular layer called "WIDE"; but if I draw on the other layers, the polyline width would be back to the default width. Is this even doable?
AutoCad :: Label For Polyline Width In Dynamic Block
Jan 14, 2011I have a dynamic block with several look-up values for the polylines width and I'd like to label them (as a text in the drawing over the block), and be able to move this label where best fits. I've being trying inside the block, but then it can't be moved outside of it. I tried MText with field outside the block, but it has to be applied in many one by one.
Should I use the block itself (how?) or there is a lisp for this? I have a lisp for bearing and distance for lines, which places the bearing text above them and the distance text below those lines, no matter what angle is. It will place in the middle and in the same angle as the line. I edited this lisp file, but how to change it for my purpose, as I don't understanding all the codes inside of it.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Polyline Width And Fillet
Feb 5, 2013I'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?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Plot Polyline Width In Survey Symbol
Sep 13, 2013I have a survey symbol for a tree that is created using two polyline arcs with width to make a solid circle. It is scalable in the desc key by tree size.
Sometimes when I plot a drawing the tree symbols plot (both paper and pdf) as "spokes on a tire", like a line with a polar array. (Even though the style is created with 2 polyline arcs with width)
If I explode the point object (not anywhere near ideal) then it plots as a solid circle as it should.
I don't maintain the template, I just use it, so modifying the point style isn't really an option.
I have not been able to nail down when it occurs and when it doesn't.
AutoCAD LT :: System Variable To Maintain Polyline Width When Joining Non-polylines?
Nov 17, 2013Existing polyline set to a width of 6. Want to fillet this to a non-polyline with a width of zero.
Currently the two lines will join to create a connected polyline but the original widths are maintained (6 and 0).
I am looking for the system variable where the non-polyline becomes joined and the global width for the new segment matches the first polyline.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Polyline With Global Width To Hatch?
Feb 8, 2010I have a bolt program that draws the thickness of a bolts in elevation as a polyline with a global width, what i need is a lisp to then change this lwpolyline to a hatch, ie if global width is 20 and the polyline is 30 long i need to change this to a 20x30 solid hatch, is it possible to get the the global width and length and convert this to a boundary hatch? I need the same thing done for bolts in plan too as the circle is a lwpolyline also.

Apr 10, 2013I am trying to store some data to polyline entities. and I'm planning to use xdata. Is it possible to store some string and integer values? Also each of them should have a tag name like block attiribute names.
For example:
Type= "XLPE"
Capacity= "Medium"
LengthMultiplier= 3
thickness=5
etc.
I searched internet for utilizing xdata, and it seems that Xdata is only for predefined types such as: datalayername, dataycoordinate, datazcoordinate,datascale etc. And it seems it is not possible to store more than one string with tag name.
AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Convert Solid To Polyline With Mechanical 2010
Nov 8, 2012I'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?
