Jul 18, 2013I drew a 3d spiral, and now i need to create a cut-sheet in sections (half or quarter) so I can sent to my shop for fabrication. Please see attached photos.
I want to be able to provide a cut sheet template so i can print it out and they can trace it on the sheet metal, cut however many sections required, and weld it together to create the spiral. My concern is that the top view dimensions is not an accurate dimension when the piece is bent 8 inches from the start of the spiral.
Also, my next issue would be the side wall of the spiral, and how to properly create a cut sheet on the given dimensions.
I also tried to do this in Autodesk Inventor, using the sheet metal tool, flatten command, and I was unable to flaten the object.

Sep 4, 2012We are using iPart - iAssembly workflow with Inv-2013 and Vault Basic 2013
My question is related to released state of iparts. Currently we are generating/ releasing
all the iparts when new member is added in order to manintain the parent child version relationship
Example : say i have a ipart 41020.ipt and i have members 41020- 001 ~ 008 . I check out the parent
from Vault and add 009 member to it.
Question :
Do I have to generate all and check those in to maintain the version relationship between the child and parent inside
Vault 2013 ?
Or
Only generating 009 will maintain version relationship inside Vault 2013

AutoCAD 2010 :: Attributes In Blocks
Mar 20, 2012I'm working on creating some blocks for our office. Basically it is a simple block with a few lines that remain and then a couple attributes you can click on and change. I have added the attribute and all is working well.
My only issue is I would like to make the text in the attributes to be bold. For some reason I can't see to do this. Is it not possible.
Basically I want to try and get some of the attributes to stand out more than others. I tried changing the color and the lineweight of the attibute (which worked the color is different) but when it prints it doesn't change at all.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Attributes Appear In Red
Jan 31, 2012I have a client border that is attributed, however, when I open the attribute editor, some lines appear in red, while others are black. Turns out the font "FRACTION.SHX" is not on my system. So, I reset one of the problem attributes to a ROMANS. Saved, closed and reopened the drawing and still, the attribute editor displays them in red lettering, as if there is still something not right.
I've attached it. Note that drawing title texts seem fine, but "DRAWN DATE" and a few others are the ones showing up in red..
AutoCAD 2010 :: Quick Select Attributes
Mar 12, 2012I have a drawing containing over 100 blocks with 8-10 attributes each. I want to align all the attribute text without rotating the associated blocks. I can select individual attributes by holding down the Ctrl key while I select each attribute. Then I can change the text angle in a pop-up dialog. Is there a quicker way to select all the attributes without having to click on each one? Remember that I do not want to rotate the whole block, just the attribute text.

Nov 7, 2012I have a terminal from Phoenix Contact(their p/n 3031429) it's a 2 level terminal - sttb4. When I associate two terminals (one on the top points, and one for the bottom points), it ends up putting the wrong terminal number on the top line. It does not matter what order i click as "master terminal" or not. And When I am dealing with a PLC, I use multiple 2-highs and it is a pain to constantly go in and manually force it to switch. I will always have one terminal with the wire number(based on rung number) and one based off from a PLC address. Is there a way when associating these terminals it will alway look at the PLC address as the top point?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Redefining Blocks With Attributes
Apr 12, 2012I have a large amount of P&ID drawings that have blocks with attributes. One of the blocks is missing an attribute field that I need so I recreated the block using the same name and added the missing attribute. When I reinsert the block and say "yes" to updating the block's definition within one of my P&ID drawings everything seems fine except when I try to edit the block to fill in that field.
The newly added attribute doesn't show up but when I right click one of these blocks and select Block Editor the new attribute field does shows up so the redefine did work I just can't use that attribute. Is this a bug in AutoCAD? How I can use this attribute?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Attributes For Bill Of Materials
May 21, 2013I am drawing water pumping stations for my company, and they are wanting to do a "Bill of Material" for each job. But they are wanting to do it through the block attribute system in autocad. This actually seems more time consuming than just counting the parts and inserting the new quantities in a table.
I am drawing these with 2 and sometimes 3 views.....the problem with that, I would draw 3 views of a valve (3 blocks), and It counts it as 3 different valves.

Jun 28, 2013I have just added all my attributes to the main template, but the default for the attributes is four dashed lines ----
so if the attribute has data it puts it in, but if it does not it just uses these dashed lines and I cannot seem to remove them. I don't want to make them invisible and don't particularly want to have to use code, but I have never come across this before .

AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Attributes To DWG Document Properties
Mar 21, 2013My company is building a template library, and I want to fill in the .DWG document properties by extracting the information from a the block attributes
For example we need the following document properties (TITLE, SUBJECT, and KEYWORD) to be filled in from the same block attributes (TITLE, SUBJECT, and KEYWORD). The template we have now has this information manually input, but we would like to "automate" it on the .DWG document properties.
How do we do this, use a macro or is there some other way to do this automatically?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Multi Leader With Block Attributes
Oct 1, 2013I have a multileader with attributed labels in a block, see included png file. The attributes are indicated by the rectangled text. As you can see the block looks fine, but the leader attaches itself to the insertion point of the block. I want the leader to justify automatically left or right, depending on the drag position of the block. One thing I noticed is that if the block contains an odd number of text lines the leader will automatically self justify. An even number of text line produces what I have here.

Apr 20, 2011Is there any way to edit multiple attribute properties, NOT using battman? While battman will chnage every att-block within the drawing, I'm looking for a way to change the text size of one specific line of text within an attribute, and ONLY change it in a certain few within the drawing. It'd be nice if I can select those specific blocks and change the properties in the properties manager, but it's not an option.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Block Constraints With Attributes
Apr 19, 2013I am trying to create a dynamic block that represents a cable with an attribute attached. The block is essentially a line that runs along the Y axis. I have created a distance parameter with a stretch action attached. The line is to remain anchored at the top and the bottom end is permitted to stretch.
Problem: I have an attribute inserted to the left side of the line (offset at -2mm TC insertion) at a rotation angle of 270. When I select the stretch grip (in the drawing environment) I would like the attribute to remain centered with the line maintain the offset and maintaining the rotation angle. I have exhausted all of my options (limited experience).

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Font Attributes Lost When Exploding Block
Mar 27, 2012I have a strange problem with one of our library blocks.
For panel schedules and light fixture schedules, we have DWG block files, and we insert them into our drawings and explode them for editing.
The light fixture schedule loses all of its font attributes when we do this. It looks fine when you insert the block, but once you explode the block all the font information is lost. Interestingly, if you insert the block and go into the block editor, the block editor doesn't show the fonts correctly even though the un-exploded block does show the fonts correctly.
An important detail in all of this is that the panel schedules are just drawings (lines, text, hatches, etc.). The light fixture schedule is a table.
I'll attach some pictures showing what I'm talking about and the DWG block file.
