AutoCAD 2013 :: Does P&ID Create AEC Objects
Jan 8, 2013
The firm at which I am currently consulting uses AutoCAD 2014. My system at home has P&ID. I don't use the object/3d features -- it is just the version of AutoCAD that I wound up buying. (I think it was on special or something.) In any case, some of our drawing files have become too cumbersome to use, especially on the machines at the office, and I wonder if my P&ID is the culprit. The large files appear to have AEC objects that are bogging them down, but nobody has ADT, so we are unsure from where these objects are coming. They may be coming from the client, but I wonder if they are coming from my system. Does P&ID automatically create AEC objects and, if so, is there a way to keep it from doing that?

A user is having problems when using the copy command in AutoCAD 2013.
When they select objects, its not reporting on the commandline how many objects its found or keeping a running total of objects selected. Not even any duplications...
I've tested it on my machine but i cannot replicate the issue and have never come across this before!
Is it a bug? Is it a variable? User setting etc.

Let's say, for example, that i create an object with a size, then i create other objects with other sizes.
When I try to see the size of the first object created it says that has the same size like the other objects which have other sizes (it's even obvius cause they r bigger on my screen:D).With all the other versions of Corel i didn't had those problems, but X5 does that.

I am having problems to scale 2d objects I use the command scale but when it request a base point it said "extremely small scale factor ignored" I have to do this 5 or 6 times until the command works.
The other thing is that I can not do a 1 dimension scale in 2D.

Okay so im doing a coursework for university on autocad 2014 education version, at home i had done a vast amount of work on my laptop, went to university opened the file off the usb stick i have it saved on and done some more work to the coursework and saved it. Now that i try to open the file on my laptop some very few objects appear, all the layers are set to visible
Edit - each time i re-open the file some different random objects become visible while otheres dissapear.

I Would like to create a drawing from vb.net, and when it is drawn, i would like to move it to the place the user wants it to be in the drawing using a ghost-image on the mouse cursus
... i cannot get it to work, my head explodes..(rather new at .net, used to vba)
this is what i have at this point:
I have a drawing, in this examples just 2 rectangles, which are drawn by vb.net, and put in an arraylist.
this arraylist has to be dragged to another location in the drawing by the user.
I want to get an objectcollection in a selectionset
Public Class Drag
Dim OriPunt AsPoint3d = Point3d.Origin
<Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("MD")> PublicSub MoveDrawing()
[Code]....

I am trying to draw a boom for a sprayer and I have the 3 main tubes extruded. I need to draw plates every 48 inches in between the main tubes. I wanted to draw each plate to make sure it would fit and then use the drawings to cut the plates on my CNC plasma cutter. However, I can not figure out how to draw on the same plane right around the main tubes. I have a screen shot blow showing the tubes and I have a small 2D sketch similar to the plates I need to draw in every 48 inches to the right. The plates will be perpendicular to the top tube.

You've made a 3D model - you would like to know it's width, height and length. If you let's say made a box (by box command) then simply CH (properties) will give you the aforesaid measurements. However if you made a box (rectangle+extrude) only height is shown all in spirit of the command used to create a solid object.
I know LIST does get you a bit further by listing a bounding box, but is there a similar command that will get the job done and show you width, height and length.
I am acknowledging the fact that extrude can be used not only to create objects perpendicular to the base they were created from etc etc, but is there a way.

When I type in the command "SC" for scaling the object, it'll asks me to specify base point then I can enter what scale I want it to be, such as 2 times or 0.5 for half sacle.
with the new 2013 version, sometimes it'll exit the command if I select the insertion point of the block or if the object is at the 0,0,0 location of the drawing. it'll also give a message of "the scaling factor is too small". But I haven't enter what scale I want to scale the object yet.

I have an array of all the same block with a few attributes. All attributes need just slightly different data (like incrementing numbers). It is extremely tedious to select the block, enter the data, cancel the selection and then select the next block. Is there an easy way to select all the blocks up front and then modify them one at a time by "cycling through the selection"? I'm specifically looking for a key-command that will de-select the current block and select the next one so I can stay in my properties window.
It's also worth mentioning that I'm on LT and there aren't enough blocks to make ATTOUT/IN worth it (or possible).

I have a lot of polylines that are all over a drawing from an outside source. Unfortunately the only unique properties about them are:
AREA = .14 sq in
PERIMETER = 1-11/32"
Everything is on the same layer, color by layer and are at the same elevation.
Any way to select just these closed polylnes? I tried quickselect but the AREA option did not work (it wouldn't except just the .14 value), and there is no apparent PERIMETER value to select.

I just installed Acad v. 2014. I opened up an existing file, went to select a line, but noticed that the line does not highlight when I hover over it like my last version. How do I change the settings so that when I hover over an object, whether it be a line or a cross hatched area, it will highlight that object so I know the length or area of the object?

In regular conditions de elevation of every object that I creat is Z= 0
Lines starting and ending points are at this level, circle centers -and circles as objects- polylines etc.
How is possible to setup a different elevation for my objects?
Second case: Just in case I rotate my UCS and having my drawing doing all my objects in the plane X-Z therefore my coordinate Y as default for every object, could I set up the Y coordinate as required?

I'm trying to print a 2D drawing but I would like to add the 3D solid for viewing reference. I can't seem to "flip/rotate" my 3D solid to obtain an isometric view while looking at my 2D drawing from the top view.
how I can get both items to print on a single plot?

I am having duplicate objects in my files and I am wondering if they could be deleted. I think that I saw the option to select these kind of objects but now I need a remainder so I can get rid of the unnecessary stuff.

I am just getting back to autocad after using vectorworks for a few years. In vectorworks I was creating smart walls and plugging in windows, doors ect.
Are intelligent objects only used in Revit? Are people still offsetting wall lines and creating their own windows and doors and cutting out openings in Autocad theses days?

Showing annotation objects, I’m wondering how the two options “show annotation objects for current scale only” & “show annotation objects for all scales” introduce the same result (attached)! Despite the fact that these annotation objects are assigned to other scales (attached)
In these two cases, the only displayed annotation objects are those related to the current scale! Not all the annotation objects are displayed!

I am currently drawing a lithography mask in Autocad 2013 student version, where I created a lot of arrays. My problem is that I can't seem to align these structures. Some of them need to be aligned along the y-axis and some along the x-axis.

After setting up a layout tab, all of my objects turned light grey. When I went to model space they were the same. if I list an object the color says bylayer but the display (in model space or in paperspace remains grey even afret doing a regen, or closing the drawing and reopening it.

Let's assume we have a square drawn and another smaller square inside of the larger square. If i want to figure out the area of the larger square less the area of the smaller square but adding the perimeter of both squares, how do i do that? I know i can select the square and the properties tab will provide the area and i know i can use the area command and choose "subtract area" and do it that way. But my friend tells me theres a way by just selecting both objects that the properties tab will automatically do that for me. But when I select both objects, the properties tab under geometry would just say "varies" and not do the math for me.
I don't know if this provides additional information but he says somehow both objects are linked, like a block where its really one object and not 2, but when you explode it, it becomes 2 objects and therefore will now say "varies" on the properties tab as opposed to doing the math.

Is there any (non programming) solution where I can add custom data/properties to objects in plain AutoCAD?
(I know I can in Civil 3D though, using Notes/Extended Properties etc etc)
We want to allow users to add their own unique ID to all their drawn objects, and we don't want to use Entity Handle as that is not anything we can choose ;-)
We're using that ID to connect other datasources (ODBC) to Navisworks and we would like it to work even from AutoCAD, even though we have Civil 3D inhouse.
using plain AutoCAD straight out of the box?

Learning to use Autocad Electrical 2013. When I edit a symbol such as a circuit breaker, I can't find the linking information for the control panel object.
I know where the panel object dwg file is for the symbols that are included from Autocad. To create a new panel object dwg for the "Panel Layout" in Acad E, I can't see where it is attached, or how it is referanced.
I not sure I made my self clear enough. I didn't see it in block edit for the symbol.

I have a problem. When zooming, 3D shaded objects fade away (everything except 2D Wireframe) and it is almost impossible to continue work (see attachment no1). If I manage to draw something on such a faded object (eg, a circle on the side of the box), only part of the screen / object has normal visibility (see attachment no2). Re zooming again cause fading.

Core i5-2410M; 6 GB RAM
Radeon 6650M; 1 GB VRAM

find way to create linked objects in AutoCad from C#?I mean - for example, circle and some lines lined to this circle:
- If I move line it should be possible to move only one end point of line - second endpoint should be linked to the circle and not moved.
- If I move circle it should be move all endpoints of all lines linked to this circle.
In general I want to create network diagram ("graph" in mathematical terms) from C# code.
