Here I attached a sample drawing.
There is a wipeout on top of 2 blocks.
DRAWORDERCTL is set to 3.
But when I explode these 2 blocks, one block inherits the parent block draworder and stays below the wipeout while the other doesn't.
I know what is block and I am aware of its importance and how it makes life much easier and pleasant in CAD wold. But I don't know for what reason, I was unable to make it a drawing habit for myself to use it as a routine. I am unfamiliar with this command and seldom use it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for dynamic blocks (simulation-types) for a number of months in vain. Where I can find any information regarding dynamic blocks combined with geometrical and dimensional constraints such as the ability to draw dynamic roller shutters, revolving circle (rotate and move together) and sliding doors and windows.
Are there cad applications devoted to 2d-simulation for example a shop-drawing application.
I have this view label block I have been using for some time know and it worked fine up until today. I asked a user to add a visibility state to show a triangle around the ViewNumber. In doing so the user wanted to cleanup the viibilty state names. In the block editor all the states and names look good, but in the drawing it shows the old vis state names and the added state for the triangle is not available.

What I do is I draw a series of arcs to replicate the reference image also attached in this message.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a dynamic block which has hatchings in it.
In the block editor when I do a test of the block everyhting runs smoothly.
Howevfer when it is in model space it fails to keep the hatch boundary associativity. Even when the same dimensions are used as the block has as default.
Why would this be?
I am doing a placement at company and they asked me to edit a drawing but i don't know how to convert or import the file.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad. We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans. I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.
I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:
"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"
and

whats the difference between the block atributes? attached is an example...
I am inserting some mechanical changes into my master drawing (updating my as built drawing). I copy with base point the hvac changes, I paste into the master drawing and all is cool; the block looks fine. When I explode the block, the text and some hvac blocks (like elbows with attribute) are way out off scale, like way bigger than they should be.I don't get it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe are currently moving from 2009 to 2013 and have a variety of drop down menus and palettes. I want to promote the use of the ribbon menus and new set up.
What is the best way to set up the block libraries? Could I just use the Design Center references block drawings?
Is it easy to convert existing palettes / menus to the new format?
I am confused how the blocks work in AutoCAD 2013. I previously had 2004 and had an add on called ARCH T. This add on had an entire library of blocks. Although, the new version of Arch T that I would need to buy is $1000... so I'm trying to avoid that. I know you can insert blocks from within AutoCAD. But the process confuses me. In the design center, it seems like I just need to go to a drawing file and it pulls up blocks that are already within that file. But its not necessarily all of them. Is there a way to get all the blocks in one file to pull from? How does this work??
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen 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.
When exporting from AutoCad to pdf, from paper space, my blocks come out looking strange. I was having the same problem with text but fixed that by converting to Arial. I am exporting to an Arch E size. I have found that when I am zoomed out to show my entire campus, this is when I my problem occurs. When I am zoomed in to show a specific area, export is fine.

I have opened an exported .dwg file from Vectorworks. I have been able to hide most items I wish to. My difficulty is that I have (what I think from reading and Youtube) is dynamic blocks (light instruments). They are on a layer that is turned off, yet they are still visible. I've played around in the block editor, but I really don't know what I'm doing. If need be I can delete the light instruments, but I'd rather not. If there is a command to hide all blocks? I tried to use the properties editor to change the color to white so they would disappear. That didn't work.
