AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Edit Imported DWG Object
Aug 4, 2013
I've tried to import a dwg file that was created by someone else but I'm having a hard time editing it. I can scale it and move it and things like that, but if i wish to change the height. I tried scaling it, but it messes up the object. The object I am trying to shorten is a measuring rack on this site [URL].......
I can't change the objects height. Perhaps it's because it's a block reference or something. I've tried editing the block itself, but i have no luck in trying to edit the height. I cant splice it either.
I've attached the file im trying to change the height of.

My Acad experience is very old-school, and I have been away from true Autocad for a number of years.
I have been attempting to edit the properties of objects in the block editor and ran into a problem.
+ I select an object.
+ Right-click and choose Properties.
+ A list of properties is displayed, but they are not for the object I am trying to edit.
I did a test by selecting the object and using the command prompt, used the CHPROP command to change the objects color. It did change color as expected.
However, when I used the right-click/properties method, the properties shown do not show the new color. So, I suspect that my right-click/properties method is not showing me the object's properties. But, rather the default properties when any new objects are created.
So, obviously right-clicking is not the way to get there. What am I missing?

Is it possible to edit a surface imported from LandXML with additional survey information (points and figures)? I would assume the tin could be edited and the new data included in the surface.

I've imported fbx file into max but now I cannot edit it, nor can I collapse any modifiers from the stack. I believe it is because the fbx file is linked and I'd like to breake this connection so I can edit my model.

I recieved several .stp files from a vendor and most of them imported without incident. One part is giving me a major headache though. The envelope of the solid body is much larger than the actual part. This is causing the origin to be skewed by several orders of magnitude. Any way to trim down the envelope to the part size?

I like to attach a .aim or import a inventor DWG into a section and a plan in autocad.
But how do I select the right orientation on import? The default Inventor view is a sideview and won't work on a plan.
Right now it seems like I either have to go into 3D model view and rotate the object or have to change the orientation Inventor for plan and then reorientate it for section...

I would like to edit the faces of a model I imported into Maya, but I cannot find the face option when I right click. When I create a polygon however, it works just fine on it. Is there any way I can convert the model into a polygon?

I exported a .arg file in the menu :'Options>Profiles' and I imported the '.arg' file back after I reinstalled the Autocad 2013. Then I selected the profile which I imported , and clicked the button 'SET CURRENT'
BUT It didn't work after I reopen the ACAD 2013. The current profile isn't the imported one still. I have tried again and again. How to 'set current' the profile I imported??

I've imported a PDF file and I'm trying to do a quantity take-off by finding the area of certain areas (this is a landscape plan). However, I'm having trouble calibrating the scale so 10' on my plan is 10' according to AutoCAD as well.

I've created an object containing several shapes in Illustrator CS6 and exported it as a DWG, In Autocad 2014 I've exploded the block using XPlode command, now I want to extrude this shapes so I can create a geometry and start doing booleans and so one.
When I click in the Extrude option and select any of this shapes I get an error saying that objects of this type can not be extruded. I'm completely stuck I've been going back and forth from illustrator to Autocad 2014 and I can't find what's wrong.
P.S. The shapes in Illustrator have no stroke or filling so you will have to "Select All" to see the whole thing. The DWG and AI files are inside the attached zip. The DWG has been exported using "File > Export" w/ "Maximum edit-ability" from Illustrator.

We are in the middle of upgrading from C3D 2008 to C3D 2013 and are having problems with the data shortcuts. It appears that in 2013 you have to specify a data shortcut project folder and within that folder would be folders for individual projects. In 2008, we just put the data shortcuts within each specific project folder now that we have started working on projects that were setup in 2008, I am not seeing how in the heck we can access or create references to those existing shortcuts. I know we have skipped 5 versions of acad, but I would hope there would be a way to import or access existing project data.

I've got a car that's been imported from Alias. Its been tessellated via showcase. I'm trying to UV map it as I need to apply some camouflage and it's not going so well. I get an extremely complex UV layout in the UV editor based on the original NURBS patch layout from Alias, needless to say its not very useable.

I am trying to use it to do something for school. I imported a 3d object from a dwg file and there is a channel that curves along it cut into that. I want to move a cylinder in this channel. I cannot seem to find anything that will allow me to make a spline that mirrors the edge of the object or to constrain the cylinder to the object.

I imported a character model that I downloaded off of the internet into maya, and I have run into a snag as I'm rigging, skin binding, etc. The model has a main body, but its armor is actually separate geometry. My problem is that the shoulder pads and leg armor are mirrored, so that when one moves, the other one does as well, which is a big problem when I want to animate the model. Is there a simple way to split the pieces up so that they are not mirroring each other? My guess is that they were originally created that way so that each side didn't have to be individually worked on.

I try to shoot all my pics same light, etc. I want to paste all my designs on this uniform towel (no background).As you can see the square pasted on with basketball is on the same cloth but looks unmatched.
how I could blend/edit it in with the towel, keeping basketball & Kyle the same? Or should I try doing something else?

How do you add a keyline stroke around an imported tiff, jpeg etc? In InDesign it's as simple as adding stroke to the frame (the frame is automatically created upon import).
OK, I think I figured this out and it is soooo Illustrator:
Add stroke to object (nothing visible happens); apply a 'convert to rectangle' effect to the invisible stroke and... voila, a simple keyline!

I have a 3ds model of a golf ball I purchased. It imports properly into my Photoshop CC. I haven't been able to figure out how to apply an image (my logo) to the surface of the golf ball. Also, the golf ball has a dimpled surface so I will want the image to follow the contours of the ball, as if it would look if the logo were painted onto a real golf ball.
EDIT: Also, I want to keep the golf ball as a 3d object so I can animate it in a scene.

I have multiple viewports on a layout.
I want to be able to edit the object through the viewport, but NOT change the object in ALL the other viewports as well. In other words, I want to INDIVIDUALLY/EXCLUSIVELY edit the object of each viewport (i.e. in my A, B, C, D, E, windows in the image) without affecting the rest of the others.
Is this possible? If not, is there a workaround?

I am using Inventor 2013, with the stl importer plugin also installed. I have had a objected scanned and the scan is been given to me in STL file.
As you may know that once something is scanned, it becomes a mesh object with many triangle faces. This is more evident on curved parts of the object.
Is there any way to smooth the surface so the curves do no look like very small step trying to form a curve? If the surface does not become smoothed out so its seen as one surface then I will have to adjust every small face at a time?
