AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Flip Direction Of Dimension Constrains In Block Table
Feb 18, 2013How to flip the direction of dimension constrains in “block table”,
In the screenshot below, the default direction of dimensions constrains are given in the direction of digitizing (by design)
How this direction might be flipped?
For example, in the ArcGIS software, one can see the direction of digitizing as well as flipping it

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy Object In X Direction Using Y Displacement
Nov 14, 2013If I am copying an object using snaps vertically down a wall a certain distance and come to a wall corner and then need to copy the object the same distance horizontally as I did vertically is there an easy way to enter this new direction? I keep thinking that I would just enter displacement and for X I should be able to use my mouse and snap/measure the old Y distance and then put Y,Z as 0. However, there is no option to get a relative distance in displacement. Is there something I am missing in the command?

Jun 11, 2013I have upgraded to 2014 and since then I get this annoiying thing that happens when I am moving selected objects/lines across the screen during a copy and move. It's not a computer perfomrance thing. I have two monitors and I have called up both 2014 and 2013 side by side. When O copy or move and drag across the screen everything is wonderful. No regen while dragging, I can see the lines/objects 100% solid while dragging. In 2014, as I'm dragging and can't see the objects/lines because it's trying to regeneratate (slowly) while I'm dragging.
I have checked all my setting in tools>options and they are identical to what I ahve in 2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Moving Part In X-direction?
Jun 17, 2004I'm new to Inventor and I've been working on a complicated part for quite some time. However, I've just realised that I've made an error at the very beginning. I'm drawing the part in the YZ plane and extruding along the X axis. My problem is due to the fact that I began the drawing at x=0 when I should have began at x=7780mm. moving the entire part in the positive X direction? I've tried several approaches but none seem to work.

Sep 4, 2013Is there a way to move a solid part in an assy using grip snaps and a specific vector direction .
Please look at the attachment,here you will see a gusset positioned on top of a foot plate,the gusset needs to be moved so that it makes contact with the cylinder,it will then be welded. The problem is more difficult because the gusset is offset to the axis of the cylinder and the precise distance is unknown unless worked out using trigonometry.
The question is what is the best method of moving the gusset to the precise distance and direction ?

AutoCad :: Moving Dimension Text
Oct 4, 2012I just went from AutoCAD 2011 to 2012.
I move dims manually around quite often.
In 2011 I could select dim, Right click, Type "X" to bring up the move dim sub menu, Then either "M" to move dim alone or "L" to move it with a leader.
I can't seem to do that in 2012. I have to hover the mouse over the dim text grip point and wait for a menu to pop-up.
Obviously the former is way faster and I would like that back.
Also on a side note, I'm noticing 2012 to be ever so slightly slower. Micro second delays here and there. Extremely annoying when you're used to instant commands. Biggest culprit seems to be the move command. It hangs for a split second when I invoke the command. (and no I don't have properties up). Is this something I just need to get used too?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Moving Dimension Text
Mar 30, 2012Is there a way to move the horizontal text of a vertical dimension that's outside of the extension lines to the right or left?
This was possible years ago with a simple stretch or moving of the text grip. Now, if the dimension is above the extension lines, the text is to the right. If it is below the extension lines, the text is to the left.
AutoCad 2D :: Moving Text From Dimension Line?
Oct 10, 2011One of my dimension scales doesn't draw a line back to the dimension when I move the number away from the dimension line. All my other dimensions do it. I keep looking for the setting that must be changed but I cannot find it. What setting creates a line from the dimension number back to the center of the dimension line if you pull the dimension number away from the line?

Jan 1, 2014I am trying to extrude an object in the negative Z direction.
Easy to do at the command line by putting a "-" sign before the distance to extrude the object but I'm having trouble in autolisp.
Define points for polyline for valence
(setq p1v p1)
(setq p2v (polar p1 (DTR 0.0) box_width))

AutoCad :: Text Suddenly Changes Direction And Reads In Opposite Direction When Line Bends
May 17, 2013I have created a linetype with the text GAS OPTION in it. The line is continuous with a break around the text. In a straight line the linetype works fine (breaks around the text etc). However, when I use a polyline and spline the line for a curved line the text aligns with the direction of the line at the start, but when the line bends, the text suddenly changes direction and reads in the opposite direction. It looks like AutoCAD is trying to keep the text upright rather than following the direction of the line. When the text changes direction it also changes its insertion point and overlaps the continuous part of the line. I have 2013 AutoCAD.
Here is the string I used for the linetype.
*GAS_Option_LINE,Gas line ----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----
A,8,-15,["GAS OPTION",STANDARD,S=2.54,U=0.0,X=-2.35,Y=-1.27],-12

AutoCad :: Moving 2D Object To 3D Position Through Association / Searching
Dec 20, 2011I have a 2D plan and a 3D plan. The data is essentially the same on both, the only difference being that the 2D plan has several hundred points on it (all at elevation/z coordinate of 0, of which can easily be copied to the 3D plan).
I want to move those 2D points to their respective 3D positions. I.e. if point X is at coordinates 15213.321, 51646.632, 0 I would like to search in the Z direction above (or below; although in this data set it would always be above) for any object (line, polyline, 3dpolyline or an arc only I think) that crosses or is on this coordinate and then move the point (or place a new point) to that z coordinate. So if there is a line whose z value is 895.265 at coordinate 15213.321, 51646.632, then the point (that was originally 2D) would become 15213.321, 51646.632, 895.265.
Any lisp or other method in AutoCad that could accomplish this (ideally without having to select each point individually)? Surely this must have come up a few times before although I'm not too sure what search words to be using to look for info.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimension Association To Any Existing Object In Drawings
Jan 23, 2013I have a problem with Dimension association to any existing object in my drawings. If i draw anything new in the same drawing this problem does not occur. The leaders are also associating themselevs to these objects.
When i select a line, no grips appear even though if i draw a new line they do.
-I have tried to use DIMDISASSOCIATE the dimensions from the objsect to no avail.
-I have tried changing the DIMASSOC variable but this didnt work.
-I have tried exporting the objects to new files but still the same problem, only with the objects from this drawing.
It seems to have made every object associative. The only thing i can think that caused this was i pasted in a drawing from a pre 2002 Autocad version.
