AutoCad :: Circle Pattern Around Perimeter Of 8" X 12" Rectangle?

Oct 12, 2011

Using Autocad 2000 LT and would like to know the best way to draw a 1/4" dia circle pattern. The circles centers to be 3/4" in from the edge and equal distance apart ( as close to 1" as possible) on all four sides of an 8" x 12" rectangle. Have tried a rectangular array and can't seem to get it to work properly.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Why Can't Use A Dimensional Constraint On A Knot In A Spline

Jan 23, 2012

why can't I snap to a knot on a spline when trying to use a dimensional constraint?  I can snap any other geometric feature like a line or a dimension string to a knot.  I can grab the knot (also seems to be in the same place as the "fit point", yes?) and move it around, so why, why, WHY can't I use a dimensional constraint?  I really need to be able to control a spline's fit points with dimensional constraints, but I can't get at them exept to manually move them around.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Constraint Based On Attribute (text Box) Width?

Apr 17, 2012

Is there a way to constrain a few objects to an attribute text box width?  I want the background box and line to stretch, based on what is typed in that attribute box.

I know that if I make the attribute, a multi-line attribute, I can add a backgroud mask.  I don't want to take this route, because the mask boundary varies, depending on what character is typed.  Also, there is a gap between the mask and line I would like to maintain.

I tried some constraint stuff, but all I seem to be able to constrain is the insertion point of the text box, and not the width grip...

Is there a way to setup Field entry text in a Table that will control Dimensional Constraint Parameters in a model?

I basically want the control of the Parameters Manager to be in table form on the drawing that is usable and printable.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Angle Constraint / Drive Constraint

Jul 30, 2012

I am designing a vertical axis wind turbine just for some practice (just started using Inventor) and everything was going smoothly until I tried to "animate" it spinning.  First, I set up a work plane that goes through the center of the structure, and then I clicked angle constraint "explicit reference vector." After watching several youtube videos, I figured that I should click on the work plane, click on another reference point, and then click another point that would be orthogonal to those two (right?). Well after I choose the first point, Inventor will only allow me to choose the center axis  as the second option (which I think should be the third option).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Pick Box Turns Into Rectangle (not Square)

Dec 8, 2011

The pickbox keeps turning into a rectangle and not a perfect square.  It's width is less than its height.  This keeps happening and is annoying.  When I close AutoCAD 2012 and then reopen the drawing its a square, but soon turns into a rectangle.

AutoCAD LT :: Wipeout Does Not Hide At Perimeter?

Jul 16, 2010

Using LT 2009.

I am just using wipeout for first time, made some door blocks with it to hide wall the door is planted onto.

I find that the wipeout works fine for the area within the wipeout, but does not work well at the wipeout's perimeter.

I have messed with draw order, frame on/off, line weight, and am not able to get wipeout to hide correctly at it's perimeter.

In print preview it looks fine. Printing pdf with Acrobat leaves a line. Printing to HP laser prints line that is supposed to be hidden.

You can see the pdf attached. Zoom in and you will see the line. The hatch and inner lines are all hidden just fine.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Make White Rectangle That Represents Paper In Paperspace Larger

Dec 6, 2013

I am trying to use a title block I made as a template in a paperspace. I made the title block in the model space of a separate drawing, its origin is at 0,0. I used the WBLOCK command to make the title block into its own saved block, but when I insert it into the paperspace of the drawing that I want to use the title block in the drawing of the title block is larger than the white rectangle which represents the paper. I can insert viewports and print the drawing fine, but the drawing of my title block being larger than the white area of the paperspace bugs me. How do I make it bigger?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Schedule With Area And Perimeter

Mar 4, 2011

The architect has a schedule set up that will schedule his room numbers and names. He draws spaces for each room.

I want to add perimeter and area to this. I copied this room schedule in the tool pallete, renamed it with "trial", added columns for perimeter and area, BUT STILL GET ? FOR VALUES!

I've looked everywhere and it should work. When I look at "properties" of the space it shows area and perimeter, but I can't figure out how to extract the info.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Perimeter Line Weights

Aug 13, 2013

I'm doing a parts manual and would like to have a heavier perimeter line weight around each of my parts or sub assemblies. I know I can manually change the line weights however some lines that make up part of the perimeter also run into my part or assembly so this doesn't really work. Is there a way to get inventor to do it automatically? 

I'm running inventor 2012, and generating a .dwg file from an .ipn.

AutoCAD LT :: Measure Perimeter Of Part And Length Of Circle

Oct 2, 2012

Is there any way to quickly measure the perimeter of a part, and also measure the length of any circles?

Our estimator is taking the drawings supplied from the customers and needs to quickly know what the cut length is around the part, and then also know the cut length of all holes or internal openings.

I have a vertical stripe pattern and I have to put it on each glass drawing that I have (8 total). I've four countersunk holes on each unit so I need to trim the glass perimeter and larger hole from the stripe pattern (which is 1/4 inch solid hatch fill with 1/2 inch clear space). How can I make this faster?

AutoCad :: Export To Text File Data Points That Make Perimeter Of Sections

Oct 4, 2011

I am completely new to the forum and to Autocad. I am using version 2011.

I am working with irregular solids and after I SECTION them, I would like to export to a text file the data points that make up the perimeter of the sections.

Ideally, I would like to do it from the command line, but that's a secondary goal, first of all I would like to know how to do it.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Searching For Dynamic Blocks With Visibility Perimeter That Is Case Sensitive

create a routine to list all the dyanmic blocks in my drawing with a specific visibilty parameter name. The problem with the blocks that I'm trying to search for in my draiwng is that the visibility names are very similar with the only differences being CASE sensitivity (ie. OBJECT vs. Object).

Revit :: Spot Elevation Finding Perimeter Only?

Apr 30, 2013

One of my colleagues was able to insert Spot Elevations by picking anywhere on the surface of his floor objects in his floor plan yesterday (2013 Central file with two users working).  Today, when he tries to place the same Spot Elevation object, he is only able to pick the floors at the perimeter of the floor objects instead of the surface of the floor.  what setting or mode they accidentally changed to prompt this unfortunate behavior?

Photoshop :: Rounded Rectangle With Other Layers As Actual Rectangle

Feb 14, 2011

I have 4 layers (background, layer1, layer2, layer3-text). They fill all 300 x 600 pixels that comprise the .psd/future image. What I want to do is use a rounded rectangle to encompass all of the other layers, so that the surrounding pixels (around the rounded rectangle) are transparent.

I want all of my current layers to be the content of a rounded rectangle.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Can't Add A Constraint

Jul 25, 2012

In my line of work, the constraints are fantastic. I do use them a lot for the design and drafting.But, somehow, they are slightly buggy. I wanted to know if there is something I can do to make them better.The problems are:

1- Sometimes I can't add a constraint that I KNOW will not overconstraint and that CAN be added. This happens for all the constraints types. For example, sometimes I have one big block with the plot plan of the factory and I want to make a constraint of one other smaller block (an equipment, for example). The constraint is a simple coincident. The plotplan has several objects constrained to it (blocks, lines, etc.) but the smaller equipment block has no constraint whatsoever. Why doesn't it work?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Get Constraint Type

perfil = trans.GetObject(entRes.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Profile;
foreach(ProfileEntity entity in perfil.Entities)
[Code] .......

 or I could save TypeCode in my List.

aB.TypeCode= entity.Constraint2.GetTypeCode,  but I don´t have the table of those codes.  ¿?

I would like write with "typeof(.....)" and put my own code in my List.
