I have several rectangles in a drawing which have the same dimensions, is it possible to perform a multi select of these items by specifying the lenghts of the rectangles ? I can't see a way of doing this under QSelect or Filter.

we have moved from AutoCAD MEP 2012 to AutoCAD 2014 recently using Dynamic blocks with multiple visibility states.
in 2012 we could select a dynamic block with a specific visibility state and select similar, it would only select the visibility state that was previously selected.
in 2014 that is no longer an option WTH?
i have tried a couple of system variables to no avail (pickadd, selectionmode)2014
selectionmode is not a valid SV in 2012
Looking for a method of selecting multiple blocks that have been arrayed within a drawing. I have tired with filter and qselect however there is no way to filter out blocks by name contained within an aray. Would be great if there was a .lsp routine or arx file that could deal with this.

Yesterday I post the message "Exporting pline and text" which turned out to work realy well.
However I need something else...
I need to select several plines and export their vertexes (as it is already done) BUT I also need to select SEVERAL texts and export them as well as their insertion point coordinates.
I tried with the code below but without any success... It gives the error "; error: ActiveX Server returned the error: unknown name: "TEXT"" This happens after selecting some texts and hiting enter.
Here is the
(defun c:zi5 ( / f i o s ss obj objdata texto texto_f nomebase nome_zi tx1 iPt)(vl-load-com)(setq nomebase (getstring "
Enter name for file:"))
(setq nome_zi (strcat "D:" nomebase "_zi.txt"))
(princ "Select your plines...")
(if (and (setq s (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")))) (setq f (open nome_zi "w")) )
[Code]...
I need to change the color of all lines/plines that intersect a given pline. How would I go about making the selection set of all lines that intersect that given pline.
View 8 Replies View RelatedA new problem; I can't join these plines. I have tried just 2, selecting them before entering the command but nothing happens. I need the selected line joined with the one on each end that shares that node.

i'm trying to produce a layout using solview and soldraw in autocad 2013, but have come across a very frustrating problem, autocad lets me create the top, side and front view no problem, when i start to dimension the views the dimensions in the top and side view are fine but the dims in the front view are invisible, the command works as normal but no dims are visible, i have checked the freeze/thaw for all views but to no avail, the only other thing i can think of is that autocad has created an incorrect view and i'm dimensioning something that i simply can't see, if this is so how could i get around it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedApparently we're using ordinate dimensions in a way that was not intended, but that makes perfect sense to us. We work with building elevations and sometimes, though not too often, there are points that fall below the zero elevation. But when we put an ordinate dim on these points it is noted as a positive number.
Is there some way to get these to show with a negative sign? For example, -4'-3"
In earlier releases of Acad, when Dimensioning, I could bring a new dim inline with an existing dim and the with using osnap align the new dim with the existing dim. With 2013, I can not get the osnap pick box to appear on the existing dim to be able to keep all my dims inline.

I wanted to use the “select similar” command to select all the columns for a particular drawing on the file but not in all the existing drawings. This is why I number obtained is 60 columns not 20!
Then how to choose the “window selection” in which the “select similar” command is applied?
For whatever reason the "select similar" command has disappeared from both my right click menu and my cui list when I'm in my personal profile on Architecture... Can't seem to get it back in my personal profile although can access it if I go back to the Autodesk Standard profile.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a previously converted Microstation drawing in Autocad 2011. In the conversion all blocks were given unique names. I would like to edit similar blocks globally. Many of the Microstation blocks look like the standard blocks I use. Does a Lisp routine exist that can select similar Microstation blocks and give them a single name?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have received details that have been blocked that I need to edit. When I expode or burst them, the dims text and arrows grow larger than is required for the block and I cannot find any adjustment in the properties to bring them back to the correct size for the detail. Also the leaders lose their point and association with their text and become just a line.
Is there a command that will allow me to edit the block without loosing the current sizing and associations?
am trying to select between red and pink...on a graded level, which makes it harder. I am using the select tool and select similar in order to do so...I was wondering if their was a way to limit the particle size (object total pixzel area) that photshop considers when selecting similar things.
For example, like I stated above, I am selecting for red objects against pink objects...and the red objects are round, so is there a way to limit selection to objects red and have a objective radius of a few pixels?
Is there a way to select similar objects (by stroke color) programatically?

I accidentally turned something on in Autocad, and I want it to go away, I have no idea what it's called or how to get it gone. It's akin to the "select other" window in Inventor when you select at the intersection of several objects.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I collect objects into, say, a drawing of a bicycle, I can do this with grouping or by creating a block (and I don't know what else). If one of the objects in the bicycle collection is itself a collection of objects--for example, a "front wheel" made up of tire, wheel frame, and spokes objects--what "grouping" method do I use such that when I explode the bicycle it only explodes the first level of objects--the objects that made up the bicycle become separate objects, but the objects that make up the front wheel stay collected as a "front wheel." (Or, is there a less deep form of explode?) Blocking the most detailed objects seems burdensome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll of my multi leaders (mleaders) worked great in 2012 with the added "extend leader to text" for leaders on the end of a text string, but in 2013, they now attach to the end of the box again.
Some appear as though they are "trying" to extend, but the beginning of the leader without the extension now starts at the end of the box on the FIRST line.
See the attached examples:
Top one - Mleader is on the end of a text box larger than the actual text (NOTE: I have many drawings like this, opening them in 2013 is a nightmare)
Version #2 - Note what the leader does in this example, the "extend to end of text" is the correct length, but it starts at the edge of the box, not the end of the first line of text. Again, this worked fine in 2012.
Version #3 - This is what should happen, only happens if you adjust the text box size. I don't really want to spend my clients money updated dozens of multileaders on hundreds of drawings to force the mleader to work.

Just a quick (but possibly hard?) question. I have a multileader set up, but I also want it to automatically include a line which spans the vertical breadth of the text at the end of the landing. It's hard to explain, so I've put an image below.
Currently it's set up as a block that can change in height, depending on how many levels of text I tell it to fit to. Problem is, if I rescale my Multileader, I'll have to go back and rescale the block separately.
Now, possible to include such a feature in a Multileader such that it autoscales and auto lengthens, depending on the height of text?
