AutoCAD 2013 :: Does Support Multiple Lines Of Vertical Setting On Mtext

Jan 15, 2013

I guess it does NOT support it because it seems that it does NOT work properly. For example, in case of multiple lines of “Horizontal” setting, it works properly like followings. But in case of multiple lines of “Vertical” setting, it does NOT work properly like followings.

Configure of “Horizontal”:
ABC
DEF
GHI

Configure of “Vertical”:
ABC DEF GHI

In my perspective, it should go downward like followings.

In my “perspective” of Vertical”:
A
B
C

D
E
F

G
H
I

We are making application software for importing DXF file from AutoCAD. If AutoCAD does not support multiple lines of vertical setting on mtex, our software also should not support it, I think. I want to know the specification for multiple lines of vertical setting of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Setting Up One Drawing In Multiple Screens With One Session Of 2013

Nov 21, 2013

I recently added 2 monitors to my set up to bring my total to 3. I am trying to figure out the best way to work on one drawing, with 2 differant veiws on each of the 2 main screens.

I would like my main screen to have the plan view and the second monitor to have an isometric veiw (or whatever I need at the time) of the same drawing. Is there a way to have the same drawing opened up in another window, in one session of Autocad 2013. One on the main screen and one on the secondary.

AutoCad :: MText Changes Vertical Position When Adding Characters

May 29, 2013

I have noticed a small annoying behavior of autocad when adding certain characters to an MText object.

For example, if I have MText containing "hello" it will be at a different vertical position to MText containing "hello/". Autocad changes the vertical placement when adding characters it seems, possibly to avoid clashing.

Is there anyway to suppress the auto adjustment autocad makes to the vertical placement to accommodate these characters? I have the text elements spaced suitably from the line to avoid clashes but some wire numbers have characters and some don't, so it leaves the drawing looking somewhat messy. (see below)

Currently i have to adjust each wire number containing characters so it sits at the right vertical placement.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Change Multiple Lines Attribute To Single Line Attributes?

Jun 27, 2013

I have a block which includes some Multiple lines attributes.

Now I don't want them to be multiple lines any more.

How can I change them to single line attribute?

In the block editor, the "Multiple lines" in the properties palette is gray out. I have create single line attribute and replace the multiple line attributes one by one.

Why don't make the Multiple lines property editable? This problem is since Multiple line attribute first time introduced.

Interesting thing is single line attributes can easily changed to multiple line attributes through the properties palette!

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Setting Support File Search Paths In Routine?

Nov 8, 2013

I have a simple lisp routine that loads everytime one of my users opens a new drawing, It sets the printer paths, sets the template paths and sets a bunch of environment variables

One thing I would like to add to this lisp routine is the ability to add support file search paths.

Is there a simple setenv variable for this? or is it more complicated?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Setting Up Default Setting For Lab Environment

Sep 4, 2012

Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.

We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.

In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.

We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.

AutoCad :: Convert Multiple Single Text Objects Into Multiple Mtext Objects

Jul 3, 2013

I have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).

; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)

[Code]....

However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multiple Text To Mtext?

Sep 22, 2011

I have a whole bunch of labels that are single line text that I want to convert to Mtext. I have been using the Express Tools TXT2MTXT command but that only works on one label at a time. If I select all the labels at once using this command it gives me one long Mtext string. Is there a way to convert all of the labels to mtext, but still maintaining individual entities?

AutoCad :: How To Convert Multiple Mtexts To One Mtext

Nov 14, 2011

An engineer has produced a schematic on power tools that we used "pdf2cad" to convert to a cad file.the text has turned out screwy, as in al line of text will be broken up into 2 or more different bits of mtext, and overlapping each other by a few characters in places.

we contacted pdf2cad who are usually really useful, however the settings they suggested "optimal" didn't work. How to convert these multiple mtexts to one mtext?

AutoCad 2D :: Text 2 MText - Multiple Instances

Oct 29, 2012

I discovered the TXT2MTXT command and how wonderful it is, but there is one thing missing. Is it possible to change multiple texts, but separately WITHOUT having to re-issue the command? I've experimented with some of the in command options, but unless I'm missing something, nothing seems to work.

Preferably, I would like it to work like the FILLET -> Multiple command, so I could select a group of texts, convert them then select another group etc, but the 'multiple' option in TXT2MTXT does not work in such a way.

AutoCad 2D :: Changing Font Of Multiple MText

Jul 17, 2012

Is there a way to change multiple MTexts at once to a certain font? I don't have the full version, only AutoCAD LT 2013 so unfortunately I don't have the fancy express tools or lisps.

I have at least 1000 MTexts that need to be changed. This will take a long time if I have to activate each one and change them individually.

AutoCad :: Align Vertical Sets Of Lines

Aug 26, 2011

I am looking for a quick way to align vertical pairs of lines that are unequal distance apart and sometimes unequal length so that midpoint between lines are aligned. Right now I draw horizontal lines between each set and use a vertical line from one of these to align the other pairs (red lines on example).

If there is no easy way already incorporated in AC then my thought is a button that will draw lines on a specified layer other than the current layer and in a specified color, and another button to delete everything on that specified layer.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Multiple Mtext To By Layer

Aug 6, 2012

I have a user who inadvertently changed the text contents of an mleader from "ByLayer" to 1,255,0, which is giving us some serious issues with our plotting, as we use a .ctb file for printing.  Unfortunately, this error must have occurred fairly early in the project, because it is now replicated throughout the 100 page set.  The text color was changed through the mtext editor, so just changing the overall properties of the mtext or leader doesn't affect the text.  The only way that I know of to correct the issue is to edit each piece of text, select the contents, and change them back to ByLayer.  This is going to be a real pain.

So here is the question: Is there a way to change the color of multiple pieces of mtext, without opening each and every individually?

AutoCad :: Create Vertical Lines From Point Reference

Oct 9, 2011

I am working on a horizontal directional drill with multiple survey points.

The survey points make up (what looks like an upside down dome) and they are all connected with polylines. I need to add straight vertical lines to each point. Of course I can do this manually, but I'm wondering if there's a way to automate it. I've tried Lee's point manager, but it seems the problem is there's no option for xstart, xend, and ystart, yend. I also tried created a block out of a line then importing that on the points with point manager, but I need all of the lines to end at the same position at the top. This doesnt work because as you can see the points aren't all equal from the bottom. I also cannot find a way to trim blocks. I was hoping blocks would have the same xstart and xend, etc. as a line, but they don't.

AutoCAD .NET :: Programmatically Adding Vertical Dimensions Outside Of Extension Lines

Aug 10, 2012

I have programs that at some point or another create dimensions for what was drawn. When you have a vertical dimension that doesn't fit between the extension lines, it will either go up and to the right or down and to the left. 

I can change it manually by selecting the dimension and then right click and pick Dim Text position > Move with leader.

What I want to know is, is there a way to set the vertical dimension where you want it programatically?  I would like to put the vertical dimension down and to the right of the arrows if possible.

AutoCad 3D :: Unable To Draw Simple Vertical Lines In Z-axis

Apr 25, 2012

I'm working in ACAD 2012. I am at times, unable to draw simple vertical lines in the z-axis. Drawing pluming riser diagrams in 3D. Steps I am taking,

1) Opening the drawing.
2) X referencing a floor plan.
3) Changing the view using the cube to SW Isometric
4) Using the LINE command selecting a point, aligning the cursor with what seems like the Z-axis and entering the distance, heighten enter.

The line drawn is flat. This line can be seen as flat when rotating views. The only solution I have found is to use the "Reset Autocad Settings to Default"

Observations: Sometimes I am able to draw in 3D just fine, but something will happen in the middle of the drawing process that will now only allow me to draw flat. Also was never able to draw polylines in 3D is that how it's supposed to be? Used another computer with the same drawing, at first won't allow me to draw in 3D but after a couple attempts will eventually draw in 3D just fine. Tried starting from a blank template, no luck. Tried changing drawing space to 3D modeling and 3D basics, no luck. Also, when working drawings with existing 3D objects, I am able to snap to vertical point as a start point but cannot snap to a point on any other points on the object that at are at a different elevation.
