AutoCAD 2013 :: Creating Wall Tag With Grip
Dec 20, 2013
I am trying to create a wall tag to do the following also see attached PDF:
Tag designation (text and number) generated from wall style (wallstyles:type) and be annotative.
Tag has 2 lines forming an L that I would like to preset (12" by the text and 18" long) but have the capability to be stretched/stretchable later on.
Tag has grip hand similar to doors which enables it to be attached to walls but doesn't change placement when wall is extended/trimmed/ moved or wall tag generates information from the wall it touches but if the wall moves the tag would stay but show and error or "X".
It didn't sound so difficult in my head but writing it down makes it seem very difficult. Anyways is this possible or any source to some step by step directions for creating a tag like this?

A grip of a hatch is not snapped to another, In the attached screenshots, I tried to move the indicated grip to a target one but no “sign” for snaps is shown!
The screenshot and the dwg are attached. How these two grips can be snapped?
Software: AutoCAD 2014, AutoCAD C3D, AutoCAD M3D, Revit
Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 bits),
Firefox 20.0,
Kaspersky 2013.

In previous versions, grip editing a point from one place to another maintained the point elevation regardless of how the point was moved. For instance, drag it from it's current location and snap to the end of a line. In 2013 the point elevation now changes to match the elevation of the point snapped to.
Is there a new setting to control how points react to Osnaps? Or are we now expected to use the .XY filter (without ever being notified of this change in workflow)?

In previous versions of Civil 3D there was a grip on the point marker that allowed me to rotate the block used as a point marker, where did this grip go in 2013? How can I rotate an individual point marker without having to create a separate point style?

When I select more than 100 entities all of the grip points disappear. With ACAD 2002 there seemed to be no limit to the number of entities you could select without losing the grips, but with ACAD 2007 they started dissapearing though with '07 clicking "View" "Regen" would bring them back into view (unless you accidentally click on another entity). With ACAD 2013 if I go over 100 that's it. This is mostly a problem for me as I use the spacebar shortcuts extensively in creating and manipulating my drawings. I have found other ways to to acomplish my needs such as using the move command but I have much successful history using my old methods and would like to continue with them.

Not sure as to why this is happening, but like the title says anytime I use move or grab a grip point my osmode automatically changes itself to settings that I do not want. I can change my osnap settings while in the command to set them back to what I had originally had but this is very tedious and I have not experienced this with previous versions of acad.
From all my searching, the only thing I can come up with is; it is a setting within the acad1014doc.lsp but I am not sure.

What is the system variable to change the display of grip dimensions from decimal to architectural? Specifically I am referring to the dimension associated with a grip(s) when hovering over it.

If you create a group, after that select it and click on the insertion point (grip) using a lot of time the space bar (to switch between move, rotate, scale and mirror) after a while autocad crash.
Tested in AutoCAD 2013 and 2014 in more the one installation.

We recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad. We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans. I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.
I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:
"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"
and
"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address D41218AEh"

How do I create simple wall types? I would like to create 2x6 and 2x4 walls with 7/16" OSB on them. I would like to see each stud when I going into 3D and I would like the dimensions to be from face of framing; not the OSB or centerline.
I would like to mimic the plan dimensions when I input the building into Rivet. Basically, I want to build a stick framed home so I can add the floors, walls and roof and then go into the mechanical and see how it all stacks out and is going to come together.

I want to Create a Wall Nitch that will be in a tiled shower we are doing. Best way to create a family that cuts into a wall? I don't want to Create an opening, because I don't want it going all the way through the wall.

I have tried 2 methods of generating a parapet cap:
1 - Creating a wall style with the sweep.
2 - Added a host sweep.
The problem is that using either method or a combination of both methods doesn't always work. I still end up with some caps that don't miter correctly even after editing. Sometimes, different intersections will miter and others won't.

I have used Autodesk products in the past, but I have never had this much trouble making a single wall. There are no scroll bars to move my view in the blue prints, keyboard arrows don't work, and there appears to be no way to change the cursor type so I can select and drag the viewing area. Is there some trick to it? When I drag the mouse it just highlights everything. This is especially annoying when I am just trying to change the orientation to see what is already made.
I am trying to begin with a very simple project: A deck. All I want to do is draw two original brick walls and then begin with a wood frame construction to place against it, but I also can't even seem to make a single right angle with this. When one wall length is finished it wants to position itself at 15 degre angles, but not in relation to the wall it is connected to. It sets those angles in relation to the compass direction which results in an inability to make even a single square. This means that even though the original wall I am building onto faces a South west 340 degree direction I pretty much have to disregard the presence of a compass and assume North is "top" which is pretty sloppy and makes me question why a compass is even present.
With a north orientation I can get right-angles without any problems, but the mouse is too sensitive and if I type in a length before clicking to create the wall the size ends up much longer than what I define. I can create it, select it, and then define the length, but I can't seem to define which side it expands from and I can't seem to find a toggle to keep a connected wall snapped in place or even to manually move that wall.
Also: When attempting to insert an opening into the wall at a specific point in the wall there appears to be no option to manually define (with text) it's position in that wall. There is a graphical method, but no matter where I put it on that wall it snaps to the far end. It's an existing wall with an existing opening.

I created a wall via RECTANGLE/PRESSPULL to a desired height. But I need to be able to increase the height of one corner of the wall. Not quite sure how to do this.
On the attached picture, corner A needs to remain where it is, while corner B needs to be 3' higher.

I would like to create a family component using the wall foundation bearing footing as a template. I cannot find the file where the templates are located. I tried using the structural footing template but it would not give me the same flexibility the wall foundation bearing footing template does.

Attaching the draw.
The top transom (beam) has to be cut on 2 levels degree : inout as the circle diameter , and up and down as the slope . I made the drawing with the SWEEP command of a 2D transom view along a line, but the result is not good To get the dimensions of manufacturing, it is good as a general "simulation". How can i do it more accurate?, or it is a big task for the autocad?

I am trying to create a sloped wall by creating a mass in-place. First I draw a line on a surface at a pre-determined level that I've set up in elevation. Then I offset this line in the vertical plane. My next step is to offset this second line so that it is not directly above the original line, but offset in the horizontal plane. How do I change from a vertical to a horizontal offset? I’ve tried different work planes, but they all offset vertically.

I'm trying to create a Tiled Skirt (150x150mm) profile or pattern to be used as Wall Sweep. Is there anyway to create this profile as the Family Template: metric profile (wall hosted) only allow me to create a 2D profile.
I would prefer to avoid detail lines or Filled region to get the tiles shown as I need to schedule and quantify this element.

In Autocad Architectural 2012 if I typed 'wall' I would get several options for walls. If I selected 'A' (add) it would bring up the properties panel and draw the necessary walls. This does not work in Architectural 2013. Where to I access the wall/window/door pallet?

I cannot seem to find out when and where it's ocuring. I took measurements of a large room and modeled it in Autocad 2014. The solids I used are rather simple, mostly just boxes with some boolean unions and substractions here and there. I then took pictures of every wall, perspective-corrected them, imported each of them to Autocad as material, assigned the real size to the picture material and applied those materials to the corresponding wall faces. Planar mapping proved to be adequate in all cases and mostly mapped correctly on the first go.
The project was completed and saved. To my horror most of the material mappings had just gone the next time I opened the project. It was just as if I had never applied any material mapping or texture to the faces.
After partially appliying the damned material mappings and materials (textures) again I tried to determine under what circumstances the mappings get lost. Its not allways the same walls. The bug seems to occur randomly on various geometry and at various times. Sometimes the mappings get lost after opening the project, sometimes the get lost on the fly when isolating (hiding) geometry. There is no way I can get the room to look as I want it to look as there will allways be some wall that has become default-grey again, randomly (either while working or after opening up the project again).
I really expect Autocad to be rock solid after so many program versions. Did I do something wrong? How would you go about applying textures of inividual walls to wall-faces? Or is Autocad just crap regarding heavy use of textures because that is not the average use-case?

When I create the surface in conceptual mass and bring that in revit project and apply wall by face I see interior face of wall going exterior.
Can this be set in conceptual massing while creating surface so that when I apply wall by face interior face remains interior.

Most of the interior walls in the house are the same materials and finishes - finishes of veneer plaster painted, but rooms are to be differnent colors. I can make a wall the color that I want, but ALL that type walls become that color. Is there any way to make several different colors of rooms witihout creating literally dozens of different wall types?

I am creating a folding door model and would like to use a parameter called EXERIOR WALL OFFSET. I have used this parameter before but am having trouble getting it to work within my family. The only difference is that I created one frame/jamb instead of 4 seperate profiles. The question is, why can't i get the jamb to move within the wall using the exterior wall offset parameter? It seems to move the sash/panels just fine but the jamb is constrainted somehow.

I am using the RetainWallVertical subassembly with a created gutter subassembly attached to the wall and a DaylightGeneral subassembly attached to the gutter assembly. My cut slope parameter is set to hold at 1.5:1. I would like to use a target (feature line or alignment) to daylight to and have the wall height adjust accordingly. Problem, I am not able to use a target other than a surface for daylighting. I can use my existing ground surface, which I am daylighting too, but I can't adjust the target point.
