AutoCAD 2010 :: XClipped Block Appearing Outside XClip Boundary

Oct 24, 2012

I have drawn a special brick pattern that I need to use at the hatch for a three story building.  The idea was to draw the pattern on a large scale and then use xclip or clipit to crop the pattern to the openings in the wall, i.e. windows, doors, etc.  The polyline that I'm using to clip the brick pattern block is quite complicated.  When I use it to clip the block, stray lines appear OUTSIDE the boundary.  The xclip frame does match the boundary I want.  Note, the entire block isn't appearing, just a row of lines here and there.  It's obviously a glitch of some sort.

AutoCAD Architecture :: XCLIP Causing Lines To Disappear (Within XCLIP Boundary)

Apr 20, 2011

I've been using XCLIP for years.  Never had an issue.

Today I installed 2012 and found that the ability to stretch and edit XCLIP boudaries had finally been added.  SWEET!....wrong.

I was working merrily along when all of a sudden my screen blinked, refreshed, or something, and 80% of the lines within my XCLIP boundaries just disappeared.

I closed the drawing and reopened.  Closed ACA and reopened.  Rebooted and reopened.  Gone.

If I delete the XCLIP, it all comes back.  Apply a new XCLIP, gone again.

Open the drawing in ACA2011, still gone.  EGADS!

Is this a totally new problem???

It literally took less than an hour after installing to find a problem in ACA 2012.  My Autodesk woes continue.

AutoCad :: How To Retain XCLIP Boundary

Jan 2, 2014

So I have a reference that has been xclipped. We have multiple drawings that need to be xclipped using the same boundary. It is a HUGE boundary and very complicated. It would take me at least half a day to recreate it (the time it took me in the first place). I copied the drawing and am trying to find a way to essentially explode the boundary in order to create a new polyline. I don't care about the reference, I just want the boundary.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Solid Hatch Appearing As Lines From Center Of Block

Dec 3, 2012

I have a problem with a File in Autocad.

We have a dynamic block here at work that has a solid hatch in it. It is a simple block which only utilizes a dropdown menu.

This block is a circle with a solid hatch in it. However when I select the block via dropdown menu, the hatch is not solid, it is a bunch of lines originating from the center of the circle.

I have never had this problem before with this block and nothing has changed with the block.

It also works fine when I open up other drawings.

This tells me that there is a problem with the settings of this specific file but I cannot figure out what setting.

I believe the problem occurred because I brought my work home with me and I have different settings on my autocad (both ACAD 2011).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Xclip The Xref

Sep 16, 2012

I have an xref that I am trying to xclip. Normal xclip works fine, but when I try to invert the clip (which I was I need), a light grey background shows up (in preview mode and on prints) around most of the boundary, and takes up most of the screen.

It also clips objects from other xrefs along the plane of the boundary, even though they're not actually within the boundary (they are visible in the drawing, but clipped in preview mode). I have purged and audited both drawing and xref.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatch Command Reveals Xclip That Isn't In Drawing

Jun 7, 2012

I'm trying to hatch floor patterns in suits. I draw a pline aroudn perimeter. There are a couple of problems. 

First, when I do a hatch by selecting the pline ("object"), it doesn't detect islands, such as our room tag. This is likely because the hatch is over an xref (the suite is an xref, room tag and pline are not), and hatches don't seem to like xrefs. 

Next option is to hatch by "pick points". When I do that, and select a point on the floor of the suite, all of a sudden an old xref or xclip appears in 2 locations, and the hatch boundary takes the lines from that new xref into consideration. The crazy thing is that this xref does not exist in any form in the drawing. I have purged/audited the drawing, and the drawing no longer even exists in our computer.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hide Wipeout Boundary

Oct 7, 2013

I am working with a situation that requires me to block some lines underneath some text, and can't use a background mask because the text is located within a block. I tried to use wipeout, but I don't want the boundries of the wipeout to plot. Is there a way to set the boundries to not plot? I have tried changing the color of my wipeout object to 255, but for some reason I was unable to get that to work (I think that has to do with how my company uses plot styles to handle colors).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Query Point Cloud Boundary Then Add All Points Within Boundary

Nov 9, 2012

i need to know if there is any way to control the points in the point cloud.

1. either only import the point cloud in a polyline area i specify

2. add all the points within a boundary not limited to the pointclouddensity = 100, freaking default is 15 almost cost my job today. extremely stressed out right now.

i am talking about extreme lidar surveys. 1km 1km LAS/0.5m contours/xyz files times 355 of them. covers a 2km wide corridor. but i only need 100m wide after i define the road alignment. no need to have all the extra points.

right now i densify the heck out of it and end up like 5-12m points. decent but not good enough because the geotech is bitching about that accuracy is not good for some feasibility study. or is there any software i can do this besides civil 3d.

what i want can also do is automate the 'add points to surface" under point cloud and have the software do multiple boundaries without having me baby it over the night. right now every click is 5 minutes and adds like 400k to 1 million points. Civil 3D 2012

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatch Area And Delete Polylines Then Reconstruct Boundary

Aug 25, 2009

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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Xref Is Appearing Twice In List Under Two Different Names

Dec 5, 2012

I have a drawing (let's call it "main.dwg") with an external reference (let's call it "file.dwg") as the bulk of its content. The drawing "main.dwg" has 16 layout tabs, each with several mview windows.

Needing to make some changes to "main.dwg" for the first time in a couple months, I just opened it and was having issues with freezing out layers in the mview windows. It turns out that "file.dwg" appears twice in the xref list under two different names (let's say "File 1" and "File 2") with the same target path.

Besides the disorganization created by the double xref, it makes freezing layers in the mview windows twice as complicated, since each layer now appears twice in the layers list. For example, since layer 0 appears in "file.dwg", "main.dwg" contains the layers "File 1|0" and "File 2|0".

Detaching "File 2" in the xref list removes both references. Retargeting "File 2" to a different file retargets both references. Detaching both and reinserting the xref resets the layer freeze settings in every mview window, making every layer visible again.

AutoCAD 2010 :: When Copied Leader Lines Appearing Bold

Sep 20, 2012

I am using vanilla autocad 2011. installed from the autocad mechanical suite. I keep having a problem when copying blocks, leader lines and text, they sometimes apear bold in paper space. I have used the trick of changing the Z dimension from 0 to 1 and back to 0. My leader lines do not have the ability to do that. How can I keep this from happening. Autocad 2010 never had this isssue. Attached is a capture of the problem, you will see the bold text.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Xref Reload Notification Bubble Not Appearing?

Aug 31, 2010

I am using AutoCad 2011 and am not seeing the bubble notifying when an xref needs to be reloaded.  I do see the notification alert in the taskbar immediately after saving the xref, but do not see the bubble with the link to reload.  XREFNOTIFY is set to 2.  Thought XNOTIFYTIME might have worked but I don't know how to use it as typing it in the command line in AutoCad doesn't work. Also tried (setenv "XNOTIFYTIME" "#") but typing that in the command line doesn't work either.

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?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Boundary Only Showing Portion Of Surface Within The Boundary

Oct 24, 2012

I used a 2d polyline to create a surface boundary for a surface created.  The polyline is a closed loop.  For the boundary type it is outer, unchecked Non-destructive breakline, and mid-ordinate distance = 1.

My problem is that when I do this I only get a small portion of the surface to show up within my surface boundary.  If I don't have a surface boundary the entire drawing surface shows up no problem.

The purple polyline is my boundary and the light blue is the surface created within the boundary.
