AutoCAD 2010 :: Adding Listing And Showing Lines Of Different Lengths?
Nov 20, 2013
I checked a couple of old posts looking for a lisp routine that will count the number of lines and list each different length either in a dialog box or txt file. I am working on an estimate and I have a floor plan of owsj of different lengths. I downloaded the tlen.lsp but that is only giving the total number of joists and the total length.
I am looking for a lisp so that I can window all the owsj at once and have it list or show the result for the joist in this manner
sample output:
xx joists = 10'-0"
xx joists = 20'-0"
xx joists = 30'-0"

Is there an Autocad command that will list the lengths of several seperate lines and combine the lengths similar to the areas command?

I'm not sure if there's a way to stop this, but whenever I add parts to an assembly and switch to the drawing of the assembly, the hidden lines for those parts show up in every view of the assembly. Right now I'm having to go to each view and select the hide hidden lines option for each part. Is it possible to stop the hidden lines from showing up everytime I add a part?

How i'm adding lengths of individual plines...I am running MEP 2013 and lately we've been doing a lot of measuring of plines...The problem i'm having is that we are supposed to add 24' to every length...So if I measure a polyline and it's 10' long, the number i'm supposed to be putting on the drawing would be 34'...Is there a way to create a command that will automatically add what I need to every pline?

If I draw a line and label it I get the correct bearing and distance. If I list the line it gives me a different bearing. how can I correct this?

Adding contour lines to a map? I entered roughly 200 points (x, y, and z values) into an x-y plane on AutoCAD and figured that if I were to add contour lines (1' elevation difference), it would rely on the z axis. In short: how do I add contour lines if the points are all plotted?

I had to go out yesterday and measure an house indoors. Anyway the room is not square but sort of an triangle. I have measured 3 wall sides.
How to arrange them so that I get an triangle. I could draw 3 lines and then start rotating them till I get satisfactory result but can this be done any quicker?

I'm trying to extract the 3d length of multiple lines into either a CSV, SSV or directly into a table, I have done a fair amount of research but all of the solutions seem to be for later versions of CAD than the one i'm currently using, I think 2008 is the first to have embedded data extraction for objects as well as attributes?

Labeling lines with their lengths,
I got the attached lisp file from the web which automatically labels the lines with their length. Resulting the values of the length in the absolute values of the length instead of saying that the length is in inch. i.e, i need to remove the inch sign (") from the suffix of the length.

If I have a series of lines on a layer, is it possible for a macro to place a label for the lengths of the lines at the center of each line in AutoCAD LT 2012? Adding a DIMLINEAR to each line is for the birds....my drawings have as many as 250-300 lines that need to be labeled with thier lengths.......

CorelDraw_ExtendedLines.JPG
I have a time consuming problem that I was hoping a work-around or solution could be found for.
Some background: I use CorelDraw sort of as a CAD file creation software. The tool I use traces out straight, horizontal and vertical lines. At times, there are areas that need to be excluded being processed over, so my design has holes and gaps in it. The tricky part is, the tool I use needs time to accelerate up to full speed before I want it to start it's process. This requires that I add the same length to every single line in the layer (different layers need different added lengths). The problem that I run into, is that if I select multiple groups of lines that are not the same length and try to extend them, CorelDraw sees them as one group and extends the largest lines the right distance, but shorter lines get a different percentage of the distance, and gaps get shifted. I put in pictures of what I am talking about (a before, a good, and a bad).
can I select all the lines in a layer and tell CorelDraw to add X length to all of them, while keeping their center positions the same? It would save me a good deal of time.

i am doing a simple project making a survey plot for a piece of land that will be broken into subdivision. all measurements are of my starting point. after plotting the starting point i try to draw line that is 113 feet long and at a bearing of N 5d W i have no problem entering this data but when i hit enter it draws a straight line. now i know 5 degrees is much of an angle so i thought maybe it just looked straight and tried to plot the next point which was 542 feet from the last point at a bearing of N 39d E but once again after i put the info in and hit enter or space it would plot a line of the proper length but vertical, not the proper angle i need it at. here is how i would put in the info:
first i choose the lne command and choose my "beginning point" as that starting point for my line then i type 113<N 5d W for the length and direction and hit enter. when i do this it plots a vertical line of the proper length but wrong angle. what am i doing wrong? i have ortho set to off and idk what else to mess with

I was trying for an option with wipeout mask.
Is there any option with wipeout to turn the continuous lines into dotted lines instead of hiding the object? I have been working on one staircase block, i want to show half block as a dotted lines.. is there any way to do that without going in to the block edit and change? thats why am looking for wipeout mask option.

I'm wondering why it is that lines only show linestyle if I explode them?
If I just draw a single line the linestyle shows directly, but If I have an imported drawing (I mostly work with LisCAD projects that has been exported to AutoCAD) the lines consist of joined sections of shorter lines (as lines in the LisCAD drawing go from point to point and are not joined). When the file is exported to AutoCAD the lines seems to become a group and won't show the linestyles I choose for presentation unless I explode them and then apply a linestyle.

We recently received a LiDAR data in the form of an .asc file. Brought it fine into Civil 3d.
However, the level data is in mm so levels are showing as 98450 instead of 98.45. The level ranges from 98450 to 166260.
When I create a surface and set the style to show contours, it only displays contour lines below 100,000. Is this a limit in Civil 3D or am I missing some setting somewhere? I'm using the UKIE template btw.

I have been send a dwg of a elevation of a kitchen plans that I want to include into my drawing, everything looks ok in autocad but when I go to print this drawing, non of the lines show up just a few random text boxes but no text, no layers are set to not print so why this is so.
I can not upload the file as its 3.32mb.

I'm using autocad for mac. I've just saved a pdf in illustrator as an autocad dwg and opened it in autocad. It shows up but is not visible in my paperspace.
I've made sure it's on in the viewport. I've even tried to plot from modelspace but the lines don't show up in the plot. They are visible in the modelspace. They have all imported on the same layer, though some are different colour - some of them do show up, but not many.

We recently upgraded to AutoCAD Architecture 2013 from Architecture 2011 and am having all sorts of intermittent issues with walls showing up as single lines in x-refs (even though the file being refrenced has been brought into 2013 and shows correctly when opened by itself). We are also having intermittent issues with the plans and walls themselfs showing as a single line. I need assistance on strightening this out as we have several jobs pending construction that are all having this issue in incosestant areas.

I needed to make a dome-like feature and the only way I could get something that looked even close to what I was modeling was to use the loft tool. I've attached the model of what I'm talking about (it's Inventor 2010) The problem is when I try to make a drawing for it, it won't show some of the lines on the dome feature. The only way the loft would work was if I checked the "closed loop" button. I tried checking the box in the drawing saying show tangent faces or something like that and that didn't work either.

When creating a piping part, like a strainer, I'd like to be able to show something to represent the area that needs to be kept clear to allow for removal of the filter cartridge. In AutoCAD I'd just draw a phantom circle and a few lines extending from it to show the needed room. Any way to indicate the area in an Inventor part that won't obscure parts of the main object or other objects that may be located behind? Transparent solids, or maybe sketch entities? It's primarily needed for design, but if it can show up in the 2D drawing (without totally blocking what's behind it) it would be a plus.
See the attached file for an example of what we've been doing in our AutoCAD models.

I have a piece of my 3D model (it's a square tube with rounded corners) that I'm trying to display in a viewport in 2D but there are too many surface lines on the corners. Is there a way to display the rounded corners as sharp edges and the hidden lines of the object?
