In Autocad 2014 I can't seem to get the same properties when I choose a dimension as I have been with all previous vertions. It does not have any of the option such as text height, Tolerance, Precision etc. Is this new for 14?
View 7 RepliesWhen I export .idw in autocad .dwg, the tolerance text height of dimensions with 'Limits/Fits-Show tolerance' change, becoming the same of the dimensions text, while the tolerance text height of dimensions without 'Limits/Fits-Show tolerance' remain the same of the .idw file. Why? There's something I can do, to ensure that text height no change? See the attached pictures that show the problem.
I use Inventor 2011 with SP1.
All the values I put in to set my tolerance are being rounded to three decimal places even though the value is four place and I am setting the dimension precision to four place.
For Example: I have a hole of diameter 2.0466. It is to have a tolerance of +.0005/-.0000. When tolerance.setToDeviation is called, the .0005 is strangely forced to .001 and is set as this in the part file. The precision value had already been set to 4 at this point.
I am using the following code in Inventor 2010:
'Create hole feature
Call oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(oLinearPlacementDef, dDiameter, kExtentDirection)
'Get hole feature just created
Dim oHole As HoleFeature
Set oHole = oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Item(oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Count) ' need most recent index

Where is the “annotative scale” and “paper text height” properties?
I couldn’t find the “annotative scale” and “paper text height” properties when dealing with “Civil 3D” objects such as points and contours the same way we have it in the regular AutoCAD.
For example, suppose that I need to increase to decrease the “text height” of the point label considering a particular “annotative scale” property, then how this kind of thing might be done in the AutoCAD Civil 3D?
I went to hide the properties palette and now it disappered. I type properties in the command line and right click on an object and select properties and nothing. No palette. What do I need to do to get the palette back?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working in AutoCAD Map 3D 2014, just upgraded in fact. I'm working with older drawings that had their text added by a trained chimp in simple text (Command: TEXT as near as I can figure). In updating these specification drawings, I'm making fonts the same size, updating material lists, correcting typos and just generally wiping off the banana chunks and drool.
Unfortunately, the properties palette no longer populates with all the text info like it did back in my 2010 version. In fact, the displayed values won't actually change when I select ANYTHING. Except it does go blank if I select something and then hit Ctrl 1 to get the palette.
I've hunted through Customize Palettes and Options under the Tools Menu (Map Classic workspace customized).
Every single time I start AutoCAD 2013 my Properties Pallete's columns reset their size.
I've tried re-saving workspace to a new one. It won't work. It also doesn't matter if I open application using shortcut or by double-clicking DWG file.
as the subject states, at some point (I believe after uninstalling autodesk 360), our properties tool pallete will not populate info for the selected object. is there a fix other than re-installing from scratch? The installation fixer didn't work, and I've had to re-install twice now for other issues with the software, so it's getting very costly/time consuming to just re-install for these problems.

But when I check the angle of the "mtext" in properties palette is 0°.And the angle of the "text" is 45°.
why AutoCAD showing different angle for both objects which are in the same direction ?

The help file for user-supllied text added to dimensions says, "To add user text above and below the dimension line, use the separator symbol X. Text that precedes this symbol is aligned with and above the dimension line. Text that follows the X symbol is aligned with and below the dimension line."
How do I get the same effect from the dimension Properties Palette later? Would I have to re-create a dimension to do this in another session? I need text below the dimension on a new line, and have not been able to do it using the Suffix field in the Properties. Adding text there only appends it on the same line. (Or, am I missing a trick here?).
Is it possible to change the precision in the properties box for the maximum and minimum grades and elevations of a feature line? I like to select my feature lines and see the minimum and maximum grades and elevations in the properties. (I keep the properties window docked and open at all times.)
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to change the precision display in my properties window; I usually keep it open and docked, and am in the habit of changing many of the properties of a selected item there.
When I pick a drawing feature, the properties window's precision is only set to single digits (ie: highlight text, the text size in the window is displayed as "0" instead of "0.8").
Is it possible to add the Properties Palette to a custom made palette set in .NET? And how to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe text height in my model space is 1', then I open the model space and try to text in a new viewport, the text height changes to 48'.
I try to go back to model space to do the texting, but the text height is still 48'.
the properties palette started only showing the current properites for the drawing and not the properties of the entity selected. what causes this i am using autocad civil 3d 2013.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSomehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

Some options like height, width, etc. are shown, but not layer, style, etc. from the General portion of the Basic tab.
Is this going to be a reinstall scenario or is there a fix for this?
I recently had to reinstall my AutoCAD LT 2008 and now when I open the properties palette to make adjustments to dimensions and fine tune, many peramiters that used to be visible are no longer there and accessible. I used to be able to adjust the dimscale as needed in the properties window, but can't now. How do I get it back?

i was wondering if it's possible to change the default precision of values in the drop down menu for linear parameters when using a block properties table from 4 digits to 0.
See attached file, when opening the dropdown menu, the centre-to-centre widths of the chair are displayed in a value with 4 digits "behind the comma" and i would like that to be 0.
I just got a copy of CS2 and, I have questions.
I dont do any freehand work and always require pixel precision, also I work with small resolutions <600px at 72dpi/16bit.
How the heck do I kill anti-aliasing, when i set the brush to 1px I only want 1px!?
I have 272x480, 72dpi/16bit image and 2px from the edges I want a 4px border.
(path, drop shadow, inner glow, bev & emb, color overlay, stroke) then I want to bisect it in a number of locations. The problem is I cant do perfect pixle placement and get ugly overlapping. Last program I used I would select path and throw in x,y in all the locations I would want, then select the corner and bevel it to whatever I want. Using the rounded rect tool is nothing but a headache.
I am trying to set up a standard text style converter for multiple companies (32 in all). All are using the same style names, but they change the fonts for their preferences.
What I am trying to do is come up with a tool pallete / tool bar macro to change all styles in a drawing to the new fonts they choose.
Here is my string: ^C^C-STYLE;TITLE-1;COMIC SANS MS;;;;;;;
What am I missing so the spaces in the font name are not read as ENTER in the command? I have tried <font here>, 'font here', "font here", <font here>, (font here)
If there is an easier way other than copy and paste into a new template with them defined.
I must have hit some combination of keys which altered my interface because Autocad 2013 is acting slighly differently. I can no longer pick Dtext and change its contents directly but must go into the properties tab and change the text through the properties window. When I pick an object my layers scroll windo no longer identifies the objects layer. And when I right click an object I no longer have access to the same set of command that I used to. For example I used to be able to right click an XREF and have the command xclip available but that and other specific commands are no longer available. I am on a deadline and am not able to figure out what is causing this sudden unexpected change in the interface.

I wanted to select dimensions and change the precision to 2 decimal points.
For any dimensions I positioned on the object (like the width of the block centered in the block)...rather than above, below or off to the side. I am unable to select that dimension. Every time my cursor goes towards the dimension to select it.....the block itself is automatically selected. Any dimension outside the boundary of the object is fully selectable to edit.
Installed Map 3D 2013 this week. Have been using it with no problems for a few days.
I occasionally turn the properties palette on/off. Now I cannot get it to appear at all.
I am writing in the process of writing a AutoCAD/Civil3D plug-in (in VB.Net) product that needs current detects all of the updates (modified, erased , Unmodified, etc) on my own Entities and then only act on these once. So to this end I am maintaining a list of the affect entities and then processing the 'queue' on Document.CommandEnded.
This worked perfectly for me until I realized that the Properties Palette (and probably others) do not actually perform a command so the command end event is never caught. Obviously the queue will be processed on the next command but it looks sloppy that my data is not updated straight away.
I have seen various blog posts and a similar post on here that suggest using DocumentManager.DocumentLockModeWillChange or Editor.EnteringQuiescentState as the event to detect the end of the edit. However I am finding that no matter which of there I use I am unable to apply my Document Lock and this leads to Access Violations no matter what checks I do passed on the EventArgs.
I believe I have all the right Document locks in place, all in Using Statements so they should be disposed of correctly.
How can you remove or add a tab to the properties palette? I somehow have an extra Display tab on my properties palette and I can't find a way to remove it.
