AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Make External Reference File (DXF) Clearer

Jan 16, 2013

I had a DXF file with an external reference file inside, when showing in AutoCAD 2012, the external file appeared very 'dull' and blurry. But when I look at the same file in the new AutoCAD 2013, it shows very clear.. this puzzles me, and our clients are complaining about this quite often. 

Is there a setting I can change in 2012 version to make it (external file) clearer? The right hand side shows the external file (table and words) much better than the left.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Remove Feature Line Used As Break Line When Creating Surface

Dec 11, 2012

I needed to remove a feature line that I used as a break line when creating a surface.   When I removed the feature line from the definition of the surface, the grading did not change.  It appears the points created by the feature line remain which is why grading didn't change.  The only work around was to delete these points. 

I noticed the same thing happens when I removed the surface boundary and inserted a new boundary.  why these points remain and how to remove when I delete boundary and feature line from surface?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Line Break In Text Label Doesn't Center 2nd Line Like It Does First

Feb 22, 2012

I have an FDO layer which I am styling like so:

Concat ( FDO_LAYER1,  Concat ( '
',  FDO_LAYER2  )   )

This layer is styled so that all text is centered. In this case, FDO_LAYER2 is having it's text left aligned. I'm pretty sure this is due to the method I am using for a new line. Is there something else I can use to break the line and maintain the center styling?

Using a second point for FDO_LAYER2 is not an option.

AutoCad :: How To Not Make Curved Line Break Into Straight Line Segments

Jun 27, 2012

I draw a curved line and would like it to remain as a curved line even after saving the file. However everytime after saving, and opening the file again, the curve breaks into many line segments, which is not what I want! I want the curved line that I draw to remain as a curved line even after saving and opening. How do I do that? I am using autocad2010.

I use the ARC command to draw a couple of lines, they look okay here. But after I saved it, and re-open it again, what previously appeared as curved lines changed in their appearance to polyline segments.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Extract Some Info From Table To Reference File That Can Be Opened In MS Excel

Jun 15, 2013

I've spent the last 4 hours searching for an answer to this question, but I simply can't find one.

As a start I think you have to know that I'm currently using AutoCAD 2012.

Here's the problem: I need to extract some info from an AutoCAD table to a reference file that can be opened in Microsoft Excel. Everything I find on the subject is actually an answer to the question "How does <DATAEXTRACTION> work?" or "How to do an extraction of DATA in AutoCAD?"....

In this particular case I have a set of production drawings (cut tickets) for manufacturing of stone. And in every single sheet I have this material schedule or a table, if you wish, that is made with an AutoCAD table. In this schedule I have the height, width and thickness of the stone plate and with a function it measures it's area and volume. What I want to do is to extract those values into a reference file that I can open with Microsoft Excel, as I already said.

How exactly?

AutoCad :: One Reference File To Control Multiple Reference Layer Settings

Jun 27, 2012

I'm working on a large infrastructure project with numerous of drawings. On quite a few layout drawings I need to have the same base set of references, however I need to change the layer settings (colors, lineweight etc.). This cannot be done in the base reference itself as it is used by others. As the layouts I work with includes other references as well, it is time consuming to filter and change layer settings on each base reference.

My concept is to have a master reference file to manage all layer settings and add/remove base references. When the master reference is referenced into the layout, all layer settings on the base references should stay as set in the master reference. In this way I can easily control all base references with one file and make sure all changes will be the same for all the layouts.

New illustration of concept:

AutoCad :: Break Line When Inserting Block?

Jan 25, 2007

Is there a way to set up autocad(2004) so that when I insert a block, the block then automatically breaks the line I am inserting it on. My drawing's are mostly electrical schematics so the line I am refering to is the circuit and my blocks are components. At the moment I insert my block and I have to use the command 'break'. I know this does not take up a lot of time but I am always looking for ways to speed up!

AutoCad :: Break A Line But For Circles And Ellipses

Aug 15, 2011

I would like to ask a question on “Break at point”.

It is possible to break a line but for circles and ellipses, my attempts resulted in no break at all (see attached picture).

Does “Break at point” support circles and ellipses? If you have a circle and you would like to make it a ¾ circle arc, or any arbitrary angle, how do you do that?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Break A Closed Feature Line

Jul 28, 2011

I often use feature lines for parking lots and ponds.  They're great when they work, but they drive me NUTS when they don't - which is a lot of the time.  For parking lots and ponds, my feature lines usually close back on themselves.  That's when I have trouble breaking the feature line.  When I use BREAKFEATURE, I choose two points and this should, in theory, leave a gap in the feature line between those two points.  That's not what happens.  I end up with a huge gap between the first point I picked and a vertex point 5 or 6 vertices away.  It doesn't matter where I pick the breaking points.

I've also tried TRIMFEATURES.  I draw lines across the feature line where I would have chosen the breaking points.  But the portion that I want to remove is the portion that always remains.  It doesn't matter where I select the feature line to be trimmed (inside or outside of the cutting edges).

I think there may something wrong with the feature line itself.  Sometimes, if I erase the original and draw a new one, it will trim just fine.  But that's such a headache, and it doesn't always work.  If I knew what was causing the feature lines to go squirrely,  I would aviod it.  Unfortunately, it seems like breathing the wrong way can screw up a feature line.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Use One Line Break In Same Command On ILogic

Oct 31, 2012

How can I use one "line break" in the same command on iLogic ?

For a simple doubt, a simple sample :
 
MessageBox.Show("Message blabla blablablabla blablablabla", "Title")

In this case, how could i divide the message in 3 lines in the messagebox ?

actually this would work for me in other case too, creating a text with more than one line, instead of creat many text boxes.
