AutoCAD 2013 :: Dim Suffix Repeating Twice
Nov 6, 2013
This happened in the middle of dimensioning A drawing. Was adding tolerance and some text to some dimensions which usually looks like this.
1.500±.001" Turn Runner
But all of a sudden it started to look like this.
1.500" Turn Runner±.001" Turn Runner
Everything in the dim suffix field is repeated twice and I don't know why.
No variables were changed...I literally did one dimension that came out normally and the next one did this.
Now all dimensions do this. There is a single dimstyle with no daughter styles.

I want to make it so that whenever I type F for FILLET the MULTIPLE option is selected so I don't have to type F then M. Is there a way to make it so that when I type F it always gives me the multiple option without my having to type F then M? How would I do that?

We have many text entities in our drawing quoting a number "S3". We need to suffix that number with the text "PT" Most, if not all, of the "S3"'s are MText.
However, the "PT" text needs to be at about 70% of the size of the "S3" and be positioned almost like a superscript. It also needs to be a different colour for pen table reasons.
S3 = Colour 2, 0.35 text
PT = Colour 1, 0.25 text

I have set up a dimension style in vb .net, I am having rouble setting the suffix and the linear precision? Here is what I currently have:
Dim acDimStyleTbl As DimStyleTable
acDimStyleTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.DimStyleTableId, _ OpenMode.ForRead)
Dim sDimStyleName As String = "test"
Dim acDimStyleTblRec As DimStyleTableRecord = New DimStyleTableRecord()
[code]....
I need to add a single quotation mark for the suffix ( " ie: inches ) and I want the precision at '.00'.

I'm having trouble displaying the units for dimensions. The issue is with the suffix.
When I add the " suffix to indicate inches autocad also adds the suffix to the angular dimension.
2 questions...
Is there a way to suppress the suffix for angular dimensions? Do I need to have a dimension style just for angular dimension?
I do not want to dimension in architectural because I don't want the dimensions to change to feet and inches.

In the dimension styles we have linear suffix and angular suffix. For angular dimensions we just want the degree symbol and for the Linear suffix we want the foot symbol. But when we dimension an angle we get both degree and a foot symbol, and we just want the degree symbol. We put the foot symbol on the linear units only yet it shows up on the angular dimensions.

why my dimstyle appears different when I use different versions of AutoCAD.
In LT it is correct (left hand image), both styles are STANDARD font but in the full version (right hand image) the suffix text style is ROMANS.

I am using a dimension style that annoyingly adds the number "1/8" at the end of every angular dimension. Linear dimensions are fine.
I already checked and there is no suffix specified in the style. I also tried the dim/up feature, but the "1/8" still appears.
Degrees in "Units" are set to decimal. They are also set in decimal within the dimstyle.
Just to clarify, the number "1/8" is added after the actual dimension. I drew a 90 deg rectangle and the dim shows 90 1/8.
I could certainly try to create a new dimstyle from scrap, but perhaps any better tip.

I am looking for a lisp routine or rename mulitple blocks by keeping the same name, but adding a suffix to it.
I have used "rename" block to add a prefix to multiple drawings, but it doesnt let you add a suffix. (As far as I can see)

I currently have a LISP routine that will replace the value of a specific attribute name with sequential numbers in the order that the blocks are selected. Like TCOUNT for attributes - and it only looks for a specific attribute Tag Name called "ID".
However, what I want it to do now, instead of just putting the number into the attribute value, I want the number to be a suffix to the existing default tag value of the tag named "ID" which is "ADDRESS:" for some blocks and "ELEVATION:" for other blocks but the tag name that the routine always has to filter for is "ID". That way the user can pick anywhere on the block - not being forced to pick the tag we want to add numbers to.
What I need the new LISP to do is append a space and then a number to the existing tag value in the block, so that the result would look like "ADDRESS: 1", "ADDRESS: 2", "ADDRESS 3" or "ELEVATION: 1", ELEVATION: 2", etc. depending on whatever the default value for the tag "ID" is.
there are several hundred different block names - but they all have a Tag Name of "ID" - whose default value is sometimes "ADDRESS:" and sometimes "ELEVATION:".

I have very little knowledge in complex Autolist routines and routine to do the following:
I would like to be able to provide a Prefix and/or Suffix via dialog then pick any line of text or multiple lines of text and have it concentrate. For example: Prefix: First Floor Suffix: M100. I pick the room text on an arch floor plan "Mechanical room" and the second line "100" The result will be "First Floor Mechanical room 100 M100".
But lets take it a final step further; once condensed, I want it added to a perticular tag attribute in a block I inserted.
Example of how I would use it. I insert a symbol for an addressable smoke detector that has several tags; one of them being Location. I would use this routine to gather the information provided by the Arch floor plan and join it with the block attribute for exporting later for use in the Fire Alarm Panel Programming.
attached is a sample block with the attributes.

Is it possible to creat a linetype that doesn't repeat.
What I'm after is a line consisting of:
Long Line
Space
Short Line (roughly 1/3 length of long line)
Space
Long Line
( ______ __ ______ )
But that is all I want to see, regardless of the distance between the start and end points. I use this a lot for laying out joists.
I know I could make a dynamic block of it, but that would mean streaching every line between the two points.

I currently use a full version of AutoCAD 2009. One thing I was able to do previously was repeat break at point by right-clicking and selecting the repeat function.
Now when I try to do that in AuctoCAD 2009, the repeat function will result with just a plain break instead of a break at point.
My question is, how do i get this functionality back so that I can repeat break at point as many times as I need to? I use this command many times back to back and hate having to go click on the button from the ribbon menu.

I have placedmy own Origin in the center of the screen. I am constantly using construction lines from this origin using the offset command with various offset lengths. What I am trying to achieve is to enter a numeric value and press enter on a continuous cycle. Without Selecting construction line, Offset, Distance, Select Line, Select side. I have tried using Macro and CUI in the manage tab without success. I understand the concept, but lack the knowledge to succeed. I have a nose bleed from continuously hitting a wall.

I want to draw many circles with "3P" options. Every time I have to hit the space bar for repetition and select the option.
A couple of weeks a go I read a post here in CT which taught how to automate this part of commands. I don't know how to find it.

I am working on a lisp to scale drawings of various sizes to a predetermined size. After the lisp has run and scaled the drawing, the prompts for base point and reference point run a second time. How can I get this to run through once? I think it has something to do with the way the reference length is being entered. The base point and first reference point are the lower left corner of the drawing, while the second reference point is the lower right corner.
(COMMAND "SCALE" "ALL" "" (SETQ A (GETPOINT "
SELECT BASE POINT :")) "R" A
(GETPOINT "
SELECT REFERENCE POINT : "))
"1'-5"")

I'm using LR 4.4 on an iMac with OsX 10.8.3. As suggested in the following link [URL]...I created a Filename Preset with this format: Myname-YYYY-MM-DD-Filename Number Suffix. This preset works as expected when I export files that haven't been edited in Photoshop CS5. However, when I save a file after editing in PS and return to LR the file name look like this: Myname-YYYY-MM-DD-4369-Edit.tif. When I then use my Filename Preset when exporting, LR strips off the "-4369-Edit". I don't care about loosing the "-Edit" but I want to retain the Filename Number Suffix. How can I retain my filename number suffix?

I'm playing around with a part that I'd like to "decorate" with embossed features or perhaps even cut-outs. The actual part, before adornments, looks like a funnel. As sketched now, I'm revolving a spline and then creating a thickened solid feature. I suppose that the variable diameter and varying cross sectional radius of my part increases the level of complexity of this task over a part that looks more like a regular cylinder. I'm hoping to learn a tecnique that will work for revolved parts with highly irregular profiles - not just plain ole cylinders.
So, what I'd like to do is emboss (negative or positive) and/or thru-cut decorative geometric or vine/flower inspired patterns into the outside face of a funnel-like part. (Pic attached.) I'm picturing some sort of pattern that might repeat around the part. (The variable diameter probably really complicates matters here.) I haven't put much effort/experimentation into this yet - pretty much because I'm a loss about where to even start.

I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))
[Code] .......

I am trying to get one image onto a new canvas 6 times, ie when I get a 5x7 print it will have 6 little pics, like passport pictures. How do I do this?
Apparently you can tile images or create a pattern and then paintbucket the blank canvas with it, or even create a custom paint and use the brush to fill in the canvas.
I tried the pattern generator, and it gave me crazy random patterns with little fragments of my source picture all over the place.

I'm trying to create a border of Christmas lights around a photo (see samlple image below). In opposite corners of the photo are hollies & berries and candycanes. Running down along the sides, and along the top and bottom, I would like to draw a "wire", and then add little lights to it. I already have the different-colored lights as separate files and just need to know if it is possible to "string" the lights along the wire without having to do it manually, creating a quick border. Learning how to do this will also assist me with other similar projects in the future.

I'm using Photoshop CS4. In previous versions, you could hold down Alt while choosing an adjustment, such as Levels -- Instead of the default settings for the dialog, you would automatically get the same adjustment settings that were used the last time (as long as Photoshop had not been closed and reopened).
Can the same thing be done with the Adjustments panel -- click on an adjustment and get the last settings that were used? I tried the old Alt-Click shortcut and that didn't work.
