Any unpublished system or drawing variable that allows you to toggle to the classic grips on a curve-fit polyline? I have searched online and checked with our reseller but we have been unable to find a way to switch to the historic grips that are available on a curve-fit polyline.
View 3 RepliesThe land measure company just sended me a file of a field they marked on the site. As you can see in the picture below the yellow polyline contains many grips. Because of all the grips my whole drawing is very slow and when i want to hatch the polyline and trim in it it takes minutes to load. My question is how can i change the polyline so i can easily hatch and trim it without waiting that long. Im using autocad 2014 and still learning it.

I have discovered that the points from it is created are fixed in Z value.
You can use the grips with object snap , you can move the grips but the Z values are preserved......
it should be to get the Z value of X,Y,Z given by object snap , isn't it ?
The objective is doing (as in the photo, like the others in blue) a cement bar painted in blue with 2 cm that circles the window. The problem is that the 3D polyline (which i've already did it) is curve.
The other flats ones i did it with 2 polys, then region, then subtract, and a finely extrude. I've attached one photo.
I want to draw hyperbola curve whose equation is x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2=1. May I use equation curve tool to make the above hyperbola.
I have also made a hyperbola curve of aforesaid equation through conventional method on mathematical ground in the past.
I've been using AutoCAD for many years and finally gotten fed up with this:
If I have a polyline which has a curve in it, and I PEDIT and CLOSE it, AutoCAD automatically closes it with a curve. Does any setting which I can turn off, so that it's closed with a straight line instead??
I have a sinusoidal curve, that I've created using a third party app, which has worked really well. But the app only produces the form in a straight line and i now need to fit it to a number of curves.
I have a form of 3 radii and a couple of flats, which the sinusoidal form needs to fit along. All this work is just in 2D as i need to output the dxf into a CNC machine.
I´m looking for opportunities to can modify a polyline with 4 or more segments in a polyline with arc. I think it´s possible to pick start and end segment first and than all straight segments to will be in arc segments.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to add or customize my multifunction grips. For example, at a pline vertex the m-f grip allows me to stretch, add, or remove it. One thing I'ld like to add is to break the pline at that vertex. It would be faster to use m-f grips than the pull-down menu item I have.

Just upgraded from 2012 to 2013.....Why did they change the way you stretch a wall with grips???? Now, I cannot align a wall perpendicular to the inside of another wall, only the outside edge/face....Is there a fix or setting I am not aware of?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have recently upgraded several seats in our office to the Building Design Suite 2013 ... AutoCAD 2013, Revit 2013, etc.
We regularly use screen-shot .bmp images from a map site to do our location maps ... and .bmp images for a rendering on the cover sheet. Once the images are edited, cropped / etc. as we want, using a photo program, then saved to the project folder, we insert them to the CAD file. We use the GRIPS to dynamically adjust the image size, snapping to line work.
Problem: There are no GRIPS.
We have found that the SketchBook Designer add-on, part of the suite of programs in the upgrade, is apparently the problem. If we disable that add-on, then the grips once again are there and work as they should.
I am posting this here so that the powers-that-be at AutoDesk will hopefully add this item to their list of glitches that need to be resolved.
Hatch that includes grips inside,
The attached hatch includes grips inside it and thus as the lisp command “generate boundary from hatch multiple” is applied, more than one boundary is created
The dwg and the lisp file are attached
How to convert this sort of hatch to be uniform (without grips inside) so that the lisp command can create only one boundary for the hatch?

When trying to stretch of move a line in AutoCAD using the grips, it will move additional lines that are touching. It does not do this for every line in the DWG. It seems to be random. They are not grouped. What could be the problem.

A bit of difference is that the polylines do not have to be even closed. Any polyline gives me exactly the described behaviour, which is definitely not intended. Appears still not resolved.
I have imported a dwg witch was created by Revit. The problem is that it creates polyline vertex for curves. But i want a arc, or at least not so many segments.

I'm drawing a polyline with a width of 5". In previous versions, the pline would always appear solid. Now it appears clear. I want it to appear solid. If this is editable in the pline properties, or if it's something you turn on after you pick the first point, much like typing 'W' to enter the width?
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to get the area of this polyline .........
i used properties command >>>
i used li command >>>
i used area then o command >>>> it says that area = 362.5350 ok this is wrong ..
i calculate the area of the polyline by separating it to parts then subtract the area >>> 368.62 - 7.79 = 360.83 this is the correct area
actually this is to hard to separate polyline to parts, when i have alot of polyline.
i guess this problem causes, when you have self-intersecting polylines the file is attached ..
I'm working on a project that a coworker already started but he drew walls as 200mm thick polylines and he wants them changed to be two lines set 200mm offset of each other. He thinks there is an easy command to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am not sure how to change this, but I am adding polylines and they are coming in with a "Thickness" of 4" in the properties palette (7th option in General area of properties). The Global width is set to 0 and it shows correctly in a 2d plan view, but a 4" thickness if I do a 3dorbit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPresently the "AREA" of a closed polyline is in "sq-in" first, THEN "sq ft".
For everything I do, and likely others, I need sq ft - without having to waste time and roll my cursor over the results.
Is there ANY way to change this default to have sq ft FIRST!??
We use only polyline when drawing. Plinetype is set to 0.
First problem is with J (join) command. Sometimes when we try to join different polylines it kills a vertex. Example if i have two polylines (they are not joined) that forms a rectangle it will join them but kill one vertex and turn it into triangle. This dosen't happen all the time.
Second problem i figured a way round for the problem above, if i use the pedit command and then use j the above problem never happens. But instead (also not every time) it turns the joined polyline into lwpolyline. So its all pretty anoing as we have to use convertoply.
Is there some other command than plinetype to resolve his problem.
Is it possible to create a block that conforms to a curve in AutoCAD 2013?
In this case I want to have 3 lines that will intersect an existing line at 1 meter intervals - which is simple for straight lines, but when the existing line is curved my current block setup just isn't cutting the mustard.
The only thing I'm trying to achieve is to have a block that will place these lines at 1metre gaps (with the distance measured along the line I'm placing it on, and not the shortest distance).
Our customer send us drawing with ellipse into.With Autocad 2008 I bought a plug-in call SplineConvert that did the job perfectly but not compatible with 2013.
Is there any plugin that could replace that tool ?
Is there any standard ACAD command that could easily do this Job ?
I need a way to make 2 or 3 times per week this converting on all ellipses of large and detail 2D drawings so no time to offset in and out all those .
I try also DXFOUT in R12 but all the spline are being converted into 3d polyline making a huge files that froze my PC.
I also try FLATTEN but did not see how it work , the ellipse stay an ellipse.
we have a drawing containing different profiles that we use for our plastic fabrication workshop, however will not print the entire profile only the beginning and end even thou is shown in the plotting preview window, we have changed all potting styles and settings trying to make it work with no luck.
