I'm wondering how to create huge arrays in the best way. I have a circle and want it thousands of columns and tens of thousands of rows. Anytime I start to make this AutoCAD gets extremely slow and I was told that turning some into blocks would be best.

Civil 3D 2014.I want to attach attribute information and/or metadata to my array. Is this possible?
If it is possible, I would also like to be able to explode my array and have my array items acquire the attribute information for exporting later. Can this be done as well?
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a huge array of circles (4000 x 12000 or so). I work in microfabrication and need this to make a mask for lithography of a membrane. What is the best practice to minimize the memory usage? I.e. arrays, blocks, groups? I tried making an array of circles one row and 4000 columns then making that a block. Then repeating that block down for multiple rows, maybe 100, then making that a block. Repeating this until I have thousands of them. Is this the best way? It bogs down and gets incredible slow which I am hoping to avoid. I realize that it is inevitable that it will get slow with these huge numbers.

'Can't place inserts outside of hosts. These elements won't be copied'
I've adjusted all manner of settings to make sure the copies don't fall outside the limits of the host ceiling but without success. It only occurs with linear arrays on ceilings not radial arrays for ceilings or linear or radial arrays for walls?
I am currently looking into mirroring and arrays and i wondered if it is possible to have some kind of adaptive mirroring activated or used.
The aim is as i change the instance which is arrayed or mirrored i want the objects in the array and the mirrored parts changed too.
If it is´not possible just like that i would want to do a macro or i logic form that updates the array or mirror to have matching parts again.
We are experiencing a problem that inventor goes none responsive when closing large assemblies. Typically the problems occurs on assemblies with typrical over 3000 parts. The only way to get out is to manual crash the program.
Our machines are some of the powerful machines that you purchase on the market with SATA III solid state drives so the problem is not with the machines.
Wish we never upgrade from 2012, Autodesk should be embarrassed with the performance of 2013
I have a file that doesn't have a lot of stuff in it, but the file size seems to be quite large in proportion. Is there a way that I can use DBList, and export the data to a spreadsheet? It would be a lot easier to search through than the F2 way.

It seems that even though the outcome is B&W somewhere along the line "it" thinks it is Color. I noticed that in Page Setup I no longer have the option of "DWG to PDF.pc3".

In order to do what I want, I've found it will be easier to use Arrays. Unfortunately I'm having trouble passing arrays through various functions and setting them to each other.
These errors are constantly popping up

I've been trying to figure out if chaining parameters will accomplish what i'm trying to do, which is...
Imagine an elevation of a concrete pier or column showing the horizontal stirrup cage around the vertical reinforcement. If like to be able to use one parameter to control the space between elements (cage c/c) and another to control the total length of the array (height of column or # of cages). Then the actual number of elements would be total length/spacing.
Also, arrays alway seem to have fixed spacing, anyway to make the parameter control the spacing of the array?

This is the C# code I'm using to load the icon. The icon is in my resources file.

I am trying to create a localized existing surface from a very large topo. I promoted the existing surface shortcut into my drawing, then created a cropped surface to be put in a new drawing. After creating the cropped surface the new file shows that a surface has been created, however, the surface contains no data. I am using c3d 2012.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to declare a non-bound array (dynamic array?) in iLogic?
There are examples of set bounds array:
MyDoubleValues = New Double(){1.2,2.2,3.3}
But doing something like:
Dim MyDoubleValues() As Double ---Or--- MyDoubleValues = New Double()
Results in an error. On the other hand, the following totally works:
Dim MyDoubleValues(1) As Double
Which creates an array with a Ubound of 2
I am into tracking solar array's. So designing for high winds is paramount. I wonder if Inventor will have a package for analysis of wind loads. It is a different kind of FEA. Call it a 3-D distributed load.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been attempting to pass a string array contained in a variant to the AutoCAD method AcadPlot.SetLayoutsToPlot. I am using late binding without a Interop assembly because we have several versions of AutoCAD in this company and I would like to support all of them from the same code base.The method wants a variant that contains a string array passed byref. The Microsoft documentation on COM interop from VB.NET makes it sound like the compiler will marshal it correctly by default, but it always throws a COMException (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)).
The stack trace shows it is trying to anyway:
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.InternalLateCall(Object o, Type objType, String name, Object[] args, String[] paramnames, Boolean[] CopyBack, Boolean IgnoreReturn)
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateCall(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack, Boolean IgnoreReturn)
But no matter how I code it I cannot get this variant array passed to AutoCAD.I have tried:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
' VB default marshalling
Dim layoutarr = New Object() {"Layout1"}
doc.Plot.SetLayoutsToPlot(layoutarr)
' using a VariantWrapper
Dim layoutarr = New Object() {"Layout1"}
Dim wrapper As New System.Runtime.InteropServices.VariantWrapper(layoutarr)
doc.Plot.SetLayoutsToPlot(wrapper)
[code]...
As intensively as AutoCAD ActiveX uses variant arrays, I know this problem is going to come up again and again for me as I try to migrate code over to .NET.
I do a lot of township layouts and it is cumbersome to calculate each properties size and type in into an excel sheet. Is there a faster way to calculate all the stands's sizes into database?

I have been asked to produce a large text based image to be printed on a gym floor with a size of approx. 2m squared. I am using a Collegiate style font and then rasterising the text to allow different coloured parts and blending the letters in to each other. I have produced the image in small scale, but now need to redo the image suitable for printing at such a large size. I know I will have to start again from scratch but am concerned that it may be pixelated at such a large size.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create a large sheet of metal, like 1600x1600.
But I don't want it to look too uniform, just too plain. And I want it to look more realistic than a simple grayscale gradient.
This is what I got from fooling around for a bit:
I'm having a problem with Fcheck that no one seems to be able to solve - every time I import a large image it resizes it automatically to a fraction of its size. Notice in the image attached below that my image is 10000 x 10000 pixels but it imports and resizes to 25% of this original size.
According to the Autodesk Maya Online Help there is a command that will "Display images in full resolution preventing automatic rescaling of large images." ...that command is -F
My question to you is how and where do I enter that command? I'm using maya 2011 on Mac

I have a lot of engineering data, dimensions, etc, to enter into an existing IDCS6 Table. I need whole numbers to display full size, but fractions to be small size. I know I can use Open Type and select the Fractions option for each individual fraction, but that would take forever.
How do I create a style (or whatever) that will allow me to just type in the numbers and have them automatically apply small formatting to the fraction portion of the number whenever it sees a "/"?
Along a similar line, I was trying to copy table data from a PDF document from Acrobat X Pro and paste that into an IDCS6 table, so each cell is populated by the appropriate cell data from the PDF file, but didn't have any success. That would really save me a lot of time, because I have many complete tables in PDF format. The data is not protected in the PDF, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to bring it over to IDCS6.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to insert a block into a file in Acad 2014 and it comes in too large. If I insert the same block into the same file using Acad 2012 it comes in at the correct scale.

There must be some variable or variables I'm missing.
