I wanted to create simple shape for rectangle such that its dimensions are selected from the block table. For that purpose, I have constructed the required constrains (geometric and dimensions) and then a “block table” (attached).
As I tested the behavior to have 1X2 rectangle (attached), I got a rotated one (attached)!-
I need to know how to create a simple shape with dims /code that centers on the page.
Example:
4x6 retangle /centered.
I want a reference to understand how to create objects if that makes sense. Im doing codes i dont quite understand, and i want something simple to play with. Like a rule of thumb to memorize.
I have been watching the recordings, but the codes seem so long.
I am creating a Carbon Fiber glider. I have drawn the entire file and assembled it in autodesk inventor. How can I take each individual part and create a mold that I can CNC out? I just need a mold CAD file and then can run it through mastercam to get the G&M Code.
I trying, trying to create parametrization on 3d simple object - box. And it is no result. Why it works on 2d drawing but doesn't work on 3d... Can I someway link 3d object to 3d object? Just like in Inventor for example.
What I am trying to do is drawing a rectangle. But apparently autoCAD is acting up and wouldn't let me draw it. After clicking the rectangle button located at the top, I tried to draw a rectangle in the sketch area and this is what I got.
I have just been trying the stretch command. I have never used this before today so thought it might be good to learn a bit more.I have managed to stretch items ok but not accurately. I tried to stretch a simple rectangle 200mm to the right. I hit the stretch command and make my selection, hit enter then type in 200mm enter, and it goes right off the screen. If I drag the rectangle it's fine but not accurate.
I have 4 points/corners (with XYZ-coordinates) of a square shape created in the DWG of my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 program. I want to create 2 "triangle-shape" parcels (one parcel connects Points #1-#2-#3-#1 and the other parcel connects Points #1-#4-#3-#1. How can I create these 2 "triangle-shape" Parcels from the 4 points/corners of a squre shape?
I have been messing with a simple black rectangle and when I transform it, jagged edges appear. This is the base for a logo for web. I have anti-alising checked in pref. The logo looks horrible and blurry/jagged on the edges even when previewed on several screens from pc to mac.
this is also happening with text, that has been made an object (top of text seen in the rectangle.)
I am attempting to draft a shape that begins as a protruded rectangle. The shape then continues as a protruded rectangle that bends and conforms to the shape of cone. That may have been confusing. The profile does not change in shape to a cone. Lets say I want to do a sweep, and use the rectangle as the profile. I pick a path that was project wrapped to the cone, and the cone as the surface. I have trouble with the outcome.
I get all kind of open loop errors, and stuff with the paths, oh and also I get an error saying that the the path is not tangient and continuous. I have spent hours trying to go at it different ways. I tried using rails and I still can't get this sweep to do what I am wanting it to do. The rectangular profile has to be perpendicular to the cone surface as it follows it for the outcome to be correct. I have attached the file.
All I want to do is put a couple of arrows in an illustration! I select custom shapes, then arrows, then I mouse-drag out the arrow, and, of course, they disappear when saved. So...now realizing that this is a path, I duplicate my first layer and place the arrows on the new layer. then I flatten. Still, arrows disappear.
I want to create a custom linetype that uses a solid rectangle 0.5wide and 1.0 long. Basically I want to create a shape file from an existing block I have so that I can insert it into the linetype definition. Is there an easy way to do this in ACAD 2009?
I have adobe CS5 and when I opened my software today, I discovered my swatches were gone from my tool bar. They are not entirely gone because I can get to them from my swatch libraries, however, I cannot drag and drop these swatches into my toolbar in order to click on them. I am trying to use the pen tool to draw a simple shape and the only swatches that come up is the none option (the white box with the red line going through it) and the registration, which I admitadly don't know much about.
I am using a Mac. I cannot figure out how to draw my shapes without a fill and using a black outline.
Been using Illstrator for over 7 years now, and never really wanted to ask this question, but I have to now. If I draw a sqaure using the rectangle tool, it shows a cross in the centre, and if I draw one using the pen tool, there is no cross. Is the cross there to merely show the centre or does it have a different purpose in showing it's a different property? Also, if you want to recreate this, make sure you are in Outline View (⌘/ctrl + Y) .
I would like to shape the bottom of a rectangle at 600dpi that equates to 5100px by 900 px (8.5 x 1.5) using 5 or so total anchor points.
It would be 1.5" high on the left and 0.825" high on the right. The curve would look like the, warp-rise effect, but only on the bottom, and then subtly flatten out to the .825 end or right side.
I was wondering if there is an option in Paint.net to crop pictures not in the usual rectangle shape but like using scissors, like someone that cuts a drawing he did on a sheet of paper with scissors, which means to crop in any shape that I want.
How can I convert the shape of textbox to rectanglebox and fill any desired color into it? Can any API do so?
Here are steps that I follow in illustrator to convert the shape.
1. Create a textframe. 2. Select, choose "effect->convert to shape" menu-item. 3. Create a new fill from Appearence palette(Window->Appearance). 4. Fill the desired color from color palette(Window->Color).
We are implementing a new ERP system and we've programmed the configurator in it to build a price for us. We'd like to create a simple 2D drawing for us in AutoCAD based on some of the data from the configurator automatically. Is it possible using AutoCAD LT 2013 or do you need the full version to build something like this? Also, does this sound like it would require a lot of programming in CAD?
I would like to know if there is a way / setting that I can turn of to where can do simple math problems when inputing numbers say for like offsetting a line without having to use AutoLisp.
For example if I was to offset a line I would type in "5.75/2" and get 2.875. I would like to be able to do this without having to type ( / 5.75 2).
Is there a way to do this without having to type all of that.
I am using AutoCad 2014, and at work we design driveline equipment so a lot of the drawings are from a front view to a section view, and for like a round cover that is in the front view it is easy to offset the centerline in the section view by the radius and continue drawing the section view.
I have plan and elevation views in autocad 2012. I am adding a new entry to my house and I just want to see what it will look like in a perspective view or something.
I went to the library and took out a tutorial on autocad 3D drawing. After 8 hours all I can draw is a stupid birdhouse with no hole for the bird to go in. I am not stupid and I am good with computers, so I figure that I am completely missing something here.
Is there not some way for me to take my plan and elevations and just put them together like one would a paper model?
Is there not some quick and easy way to mock up parts of houses?
I am just a homeowner, and I don't want to pay an architect to do this for me. Maybe I am using the wrong tool? Maybe I need Autocad Architecture? Maybe some other product? I am very frustrated.
So here is my challenge to all of you: assume that your dad or your friend wants to build a deck for his house, and he wants to model it in 3D to see what it will look like. He has never done anything in 3D in AutoCAD, but he can draw 2D drawings. He has exactly 8 hours to learn whatever tool he needs, AND, to produce the 3D drawing.
Note: a simple wireframe drawing is fine, I can color the thing with pencil crayons or whatever after if I need to.
i'm basically making a shape with the pen tool, then i click the paint bucket, then the shape disappears. i've also done this with the rectangle tool and the exact same thing happens.
usually, it will work when i frst open the document, but after i start making new layers/text then i try to do this, the shape i make disappears.
how i can keep the shape so i can select the paint bucket tool?
How do I curve a rectangle so that the bottom one can sit neatly next to the top distorted rectangle shape,as in the picture below? What tool do I need to use? I have tried placing extra point but it does not allow me to curve the rectangle.
