AutoCAD 2013 :: DIMRADIUS Line Extending Beyond Tangent Point

Feb 13, 2013

When inserting a DIMRADIUS in older versions of AutoCAD, the extent of the radius dim used to automatically stop at the tangent point along an arc. However, now in ACAD 2013 (and possibly other recent versions), a red 'extension' line is carried on beyond the tangent point, which I don't want. Is there a toggle that switches this off so that the radius dim stops wholly at the tangent point as before?

I've tried using endpoint snap to stop the dim at the tangent point, but the radius dimesion text is then placed on the outside of the curve rather than the inside where I want it.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Extending To Line With Z Elevation?

Oct 17, 2012

There is a coworker of mine that seems to have an issue pop up in random files here.  He is drawing his siteplan on a file received from a consultant, the issue he's having is that if a line has any sort of elevation to it, he can't extend another line to it. He can flatten the line and then extend to it, but if the same issue is tried on any other machine, the rest of us can extend the line without issue regardless of it having elevation or not.  The frustrating part is that he couldn't tell the line had any elevation to it until he took the precision value out to 8 digits. The line he couldn't extend to had an elevation of 0.00000004. But as I said, his machine is the only one that has this issue.  We are all running AutoCAD 2013 on Windows 7 64 Bit. Is there a setting or variable somewhere controlling this behavior?

AutoCAD LT :: Extension Line Extending Too Far Past Dimension Line?

Apr 30, 2013

I am having an issue with my dimensions. If I have a dimension that is 1'-3" or larger, my extension line beyond my dimension line extends the normal length, but as soon as my dimension goes under 1'-3", the extension line then gets twice as long outside of the dimension line (see attachment). I have researched...and i can't seem to find a dim variable that will let me change this. is there anything to control this happening once my dimension goes below 1'-3"?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Snap To Tangent Point

Apr 4, 2012

Since switching over to Inventor 2012 I have been having trouble snapping to tangent points on a curve or circle to pull dimensions. I would do it manually but if the dimension is not referencing a specific point in the model it turns pink to identify an error.

Is there a setting that may be not allowing me to snap to tangent points?

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Find The Tangent Point Of 2 Circles

Dec 12, 2012

I want to find the tangent intersection point between 2 circles within certain conditions.

Circle 1 is r: 30 m and is fixed.

Circle 2 is r: 20 m and its position is inside circle 1.

Circle 2 can be moved in a given angle.

The question is: what distance should circle 2 move, to become tangent with circle 1.

AutoCad :: Extending Line To Face Of Pline?

Jun 12, 2012

what is the setting to tell a line to extend to the face of a pline when that line doesn't actually intersect with the pline? see image below...line 1 will extend to pline faces A and B, but how do i get line 2 to extend to those faces? i know this worked when i used autocad 2008 but i'm now using 2012 LT so hopefully it still works, i just don't remember the command name to control it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Choose No Color For Line Extending Between Contours Labels

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Not Tangent

Jun 18, 2012

Working on Acad2012 3d Civil. I draw a circle of 4000' radius and another one of 2000' radius. I put a tangent line between the two circles and I do see the tangent symbol but when I zoom in real close, it's not. So now I can't trim the excess radius of the two circle. I do have a trim line pasted the two supposedly tangent points. Is this a CAD issue or is their a variable to change that actually makes the lines tangent.

AutoCad :: Snap Of Line At A Tangent To The Arc

Aug 16, 2011

tan.jpg

i want to snap this line to where it would be at a tangent to the arc (as right), but as you see (left) when i hover with TAN snap it picks a tangent from the pick point, not from object's orientation.

at the moment i construct a tangent by rotating a copy of my line by 90°, and snapping it to centre of the arc. then extend out past arc, where the intersection is now the point i originally wanted to pick. make sense? gotta be a better way!

AutoCad 2D :: Draw Circle So That Line Becomes Tangent To It?

Feb 20, 2013

I’ve an already drawn inclined line from a fixed point (saypoint (0,2) on Y-axis). The inclination is also fixed (say 150 tothe horizontal). My objective is to draw a circle with one quadrant at a fixedpoint (say point (1,0) on X-axis), so that, the line becomes a perfect tangentto the circle. The diameter of the circle may vary to make the line perfecttangent to the circle.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Multi Leader Not Extending To Text

Apr 17, 2012

All of my multi leaders (mleaders) worked great in 2012 with the added "extend leader to text" for leaders on the end of a text string, but in 2013, they now attach to the end of the box again.  

Some appear as though they are "trying" to extend, but the beginning of the leader without the extension now starts at the end of the box on the FIRST line.

See the attached examples:

Top one - Mleader is on the end of a text box larger than the actual text (NOTE:  I have many drawings like this, opening them in 2013 is a nightmare)

Version #2 - Note what the leader does in this example, the "extend to end of text" is the correct length, but it starts at the edge of the box, not the end of the first line of text.  Again, this worked fine in 2012.

Version #3 - This is what should happen, only happens if you adjust the text box size.  I don't really want to spend my clients money updated dozens of multileaders on hundreds of drawings to force the mleader to work.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tangent Line And Pass Through Two Points

Aug 20, 2012

We have a need to select a tangent line/polyline etc and then select two other points we would then like to have the program draw an arc through the two points and yet still be tangent to the initial line/polyline that we picked.  We don't care what the radius is as we believe there is only one solution anyway.  It would be wonderful if we could just use the Arc command and select start>Second Point> then just use the Tangent Osnap but I guess that is out of the question :-)

The only code that I have come across that even resembles this only allows for one point not two (STILL VERY HANDY AND VERY SLICK)

(vl-load-com)
(defun near_vertex_arr (obj / dxf_obj e_next obj_vlax pt_sel par pt_first pt_snd i bulge)

How does everyone else hande this?  By they way... I dont care what language it is written in :-)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tangent Assembly Constraint - Ellipse Surface To Line

Aug 26, 2013

Why can't Inventor constrain an ellipsoidal contour with a line? We have pressure cylinders which uses a 2:1 ellipse. These cylinder get welded to a base stand fixture. The surface of the ellipse nestles in between contact points of the base stand, in this case lines of geometry. Yet Inventor can't constrain them as such. Any good workflow (at the assembly level) so that we don't have to ground components and use the Analyze Interference tool to make sure we are right on the surfaces? I don't understand why it will work for a cylindrical surface but not an elliptical surface.
