AutoCAD 2013 :: Calculating Values On Fly

Jul 26, 2013

A fundamental question that comes across regularly is calculating values for offset distances, move, radii, etc. If I want to calculate a value of .5 the interface does not accept 1/2 as a valid entry.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Calculating Multiple Areas And Putting Data In A Table?

Nov 4, 2013

We do a lot of very large site plans with mulitple options and have to compare cost differences for Concrete, Asphalt, & Base Course. We hatch the areas and print in color so it is easy to see what is concrete, asphalt, grass, water, & Base course. Is there a way to create a table that would update the total areas that we have hatched? We make a lot of changes to these plans and it takes a long time to keep adding up the areas that are hatched everytime and typing the informaiton into a table. I have the table setup so once we type in the sq. ft. of area it calculates the totals but was hoping there was  away so it would automatically update the ares in the table for us when we make changes.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Changing Properties Default Values

Dec 2, 2013

changing some properties default value for 2 items i have here. I want to keep the new settings inside my dwg template but i don't find any why to do it yet.I have to modify these manually or use match properties.

THE TEXT: Has the first picture, i would like to keep the setting Line Space Style: "Exactly" instead of "at least" all the time, each time i open a new autocad.  How can i modify this default value? is there a way to do it ?

THE LEADER: Has the picture, in my dimension style i use 2 mm standard closed filled arrow. BUT i like to use the "dot" style sometimes but i like to use the dot at 1 mm not 2 mm.

Is there a way to set individually each type of leader tip size ? With dimension style override it's not working for now..Or maybe if i could change the default properties value for the particular dot in a configuration file?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Leica Cyclone 7.4 PTS Intensity Values Not Showing?

Oct 23, 2012

I have tried multiple ways to have the intensity from our pointclouds show up inside Autocad 2013 with no success. I have tried multiple jobs exporting different formats from Cyclone 7.4. The file types I have tried are PTS, PTG, and PTX. All of these file read into AutoCad 2013 and create a Pointcloud. In AutoCad the pointcloud properties state that intensity values have been loaded, but when I attempt to view them the cloud stays white. I have also tried all the Shademode types in AutoCad. The intensity values from Cyclone appear between -1000 and +1000 values. The following is a list of steps I tried on multiple projects. Software Cyclone 7.4- AutoCad 2013 File types exported and imported PTS PTX PTG Shademodes Used All Standard Modes.

I want to edit some values in the data table of a shape file (*.shp) with AutoCAD Map 3d 2013. Every time I alter a value in data table it takes about 30 seconds until AutoCAD Map saves (?) the value. I have to wait 30 second until I can continue working. Why is this so slow?

The shape file has 7000 lines and is stored on a local drive.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Attribute Blocks - Change 1st Tag Values Automatically According To 2nd Values

Jul 18, 2013

I have an attribute blocks and this att block has two tag values , is there a simple code for to change 1st tag values automaticly according to  2nd values ?

for example :

1st tag (50x50) - 2nd tag ( 100 )    ==> 50x50-100

if i enter 201 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 100x100

if i enter 501 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 150x510

I attached a jpg file for explain much better

AutoCAD .NET :: Calculating Angle Between UCS And WCS?

AutoCAD .NET :: Calculating Angle Between UCS And WCS

Jun 3, 2011

A question regarding converting angles between co-ordinate systems in AutoCAD .NET.

Im creating my first little utility to form selected block attribute references into a nice neat list. The current version takes a selection of blocks and a list insert location and then moves the attribute references to the location and rotates them to WCS angle of 0.

I now want to expand the program to make it a little more flexible and allow you to form the list parallel to the currently selected UCS x axis (the i.e. and angle of 0 in relation to current ucs's).

I have managed bumble my way through and transform the attribute positions correctly to form a list relative to the current UCS but am strugling on how to work out in code what the equivlanent WCS angle value would be.

I have done some calcs using .net framework to calculate an angle between two vectors (see code extract below). But this introduces a small error into the angles (i.e. if my ucs is set rotated 45 degrees around the zed and i use the below maths, the resulatant angle is 45.0000002 when read in acad afterwards).

Matrix3d ucsCur = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem;
CoordinateSystem3d cs = ucsCur.CoordinateSystem3d;

// the below seems to work by calugulating the angle between two vetrex using .net maths class but this introduce a small accuracy error. Is there a better way?

Double rotAngle = Math.Acos((1 * cs.Xaxis.X) + (0 * cs.Xaxis.Y) + (0 * cs.Xaxis.Z));
//set the attribute reference rotation to the calculated WCS radian rotation value "rotAngle" 
attRef.Rotation = rotAngle;

Im sure there is a better way built into the managed autocad wrapper using a tranform matix and the ucs vertex information but dont really know how to go about it. Any links explaining how to work with the UCS in .net.

AutoCad :: Calculating Area Of Floorplan

Nov 1, 2012

Any good tips when it comes to calculating the area of a floor plan? You are supposed to start measuring from the outermost part of the walls, but when I do that I run into trouble with the porch on the bottom of the drawing and the room on top left.

The problems are basically that the porch is not supposed to be included in the total area, and in the room on the top I end up measuring a small area twice if I start my measuring from the outermost part of the walls. This is not very well explained but I've drawn two red lines on the drawing to try to show where the problem areas are.

AutoCad :: Calculating Area With 2010?

Jul 15, 2012

When I am trying to calculate area, i got wrong answer. At very first i thought it calculates area with inches (iam in metric sys), but then i checked options and its answer should be in mm, but I am getting wrong answer. In my object (which is rectangular) there's many other things, like hatch, buildings and so on. Maybe this can abstract for direct answer, because when i draw just a simple square or rectangle.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculating Total Volume

Apr 11, 2012

I want to know if it is possible to calculate the water displacement volume of an assembly if it were immersed in water.

In other words,  I want to create a file in which ALL hollow spaces inside structural members, valves, pipework etc are assumed to be solid so that when that assembly is dropped in water, the total volume of water being displaced will be equal to the iProperty value for volume.  I know its possible to hole patch when creating a shrinkwrap,  but this is only effective for 'circular' hollow spaces and does not fill obscure or rectangular shaped empty volumes.

AutoCad :: Calculating Total Area Of Windows

Oct 31, 2012

I have a building like this and it has a lot of windows.

I know how to calculate an individual window area by using 'area' or 'ls' command. But this is just partial drawing and the whole building has hundreds of windows and it will take forever to calculate one by one and add them together to get the total area. Is there any way to get the whole area easily?

windows are just rectangles (and solid hatch inside the rectangle).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculating Average Parcel Area

Any quick way of calculating average Parcel Area?  I used to export to LandXML and do an area report in CSV.  That doesn't seem to be working for me when I export out of C3D 2012.

The workaround I found was to select all the parcels in Prospector, copy to clip board, paste in excel, find and replace "_Sq. Ft._" with 0, then do the average.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculating Volume From Corridor Models?

Sep 19, 2013

I've been learning civil3d for some time now and I really want to understand how the program calculates volumes from road corridors.

When the top code is used to create surface from a road corridor, the created surface coincides with the top of the road pavement (binder/wearing course), which is not part of earthworks.

How can I create a surface at the formation level so as to compute actual earthworks?
