AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Template To Convert Coordinates Into Script

Jul 9, 2013

I have been tasked with trying to create some type of template (or multiple templates, if needed) to convert my coordinates (some having straight lines and some having arcs) into a script file. I will be gathering the coordinates from an excel file then linking them to my script file.

My problem is, I have hundreds of sets of coordinates (all with varying arcs and straight lines and varying order in which arcs and lines are used) in which I'm trying to establish a method to convert to a script file. Also, the total number of lines (arcs and straight) vary. Some have as little as 10 lines and some contain as many as 20 lines total.

I have successfully created a script file using one set of coordinates but can't imagine doing this hundreds of times over.    I have attached a PDF file showing an example of the coordinates along with the radii (in some cases there is no radius, therefore must be a straight line) and how I can accomplish this without creating a script file for each and every set of coordinates I have. The example I have is only a small portion of what I am working with.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Base View Doesn't Show Anything And Jumps To 0,0,0 Coordinates

Dec 30, 2013

I created multiple base views and projected views on drawing (autocad 2014). suddenly when I create base view it doesn't show anything, jumps to 0,0,0 coordinates (it is fixed can't be changed), scale can't be changed. It shows it is drawing view in properties, however when I want to edit (click edit then select the view , it won't recognize it is view). I created many views without problem, now all base views jumps to 0,0,0 coordinates....

(pic 1 )- shows the usless view

pic 2 - shows previous view without any issues

AutoCAD 2013 :: Export Coordinates From DWG Or IGS?

Jan 17, 2013

We are a couple of students just starting at our finale thesis at the university. We got some problems that we can't find a resolution to. 

We are going to use Ultramarine MOSES to simulate a ship. We got the drawings as 2d construction lines (.dwg) and 3d (.igs) of the ship, and need all the coordinates, x,y,z of all lines, to the coding in MOSES.

Our problem is to get these coordinates from autocad. We have tried to open the dwg in autocad and use dataextraction to get the coordinates without any sucess. We have also tried the igs without any sucess there as well.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Paste To Original Coordinates

Mar 5, 2013

I am trying to use the command PASTEORIG and it does not work for me in AutoCAD 2013 or Civil 3D 2013. Is this a known issue with a fix or am I missing something here?

I know for the longest time to paste to original cooridinates you had to select an object and right click and paste by using the menu. I also used to create a keyboard shortcut that let me use Ctrl+Shift+V, but now these workarounds do not work either. It echos the command on the command line, but does nothing, not even a returned error.

This is a pretty significant issue when working in the Civil field.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Converting Coordinates From None To Ll84?

Jul 18, 2013

I just finished a project without using any coordinate system (it shows none), and now i need it to be in ll84 coordinate system. Is there a way to convert it? When i try to do it, the streets go to a random location (in a random longitude and latitude), and even if i move it to the right place it doesnt work, because the scale of the drawing doesnt seem to be right, and i cant manage to fix it.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Relative Coordinates Are Not Working In UCS Origin

Sep 17, 2012

I noticed that relative coordinates are not working in UCS Origin in Autocad 2013.

I used to create an UCS according to a mesh of coordinates (North/East). To do that I first aligned the UCS to the North axis and point the origin to known coordinates (this part is working). Then I created a new UCS using relative coordinates, like "non @ -286200,-7485500".

This relative coordinates entry are not working anymore in this version of Autocad (2013).

AutoCAD 2013 :: Output Coordinates Of Point / Block

A way to automatically output a point into a table. For instance having a table searching for a specific block reference or point inside a block or external reference and submitting this into a table with x,y coordinates?

I make a lot of civil drawings and sometime i need to list up relevant coordinates. In stead of manually plotting these in a table i would like to list them up automatically.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Align Command - Coordinates Exported Are Different To Those In Drawing

Nov 19, 2013

I am using the ALIGN command to overlay two groups of blocks, I'm then using some VBA code to export the coordinates of the blocks to an excel sheet to make comparisons.

The issue I'm having is when I use the ALIGN command the coordinates exported are different to those in the drawing (but only for those moved using the ALIGN command).

I don't get this issue when I use the move, rotate and mirror commands, only ALIGN. What may be causing this?

AutoCad 3D :: How To Create Pipe Template

Jul 28, 2012

I designed these pipes that intersect each other in AutoCAD but that program doesn't seem to do much else other than drafting.

I want to open a pipe design so i can print it out, paste it on a real pipe and cut the end out. It's pretty much sheet metal development.

Attached is one of the many pipes. I have Autodesk Inventor FUSION 2013. Does that have any such features or do I have to get the Professional version?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Blocks Insert At Different Coordinates From Those Entered In Command Line

Jul 10, 2012

I am testing using script files to automate inserting blocks for As-Built drawings. My script files run fine, but AutoCAD is placing the blocks at a location that is different than what the input on the command line shows. For instance, I am placing a block at (6,6), which is reflected in the command line, but the block is actually placed at (6,5.898). The 5.898 does not appear anywhere in my script file, and the command line even shows that (6,6) was entered for the insertion point.
