Does any video showing sub entity selection with use of control key?
I can not seem to get it to work.....so I don't know if I am doing it wrong, or if I have somehow disabled the feature....
Perhaps there is a link out there showing it working?
Is there any way to export a sketch to DXF and control the target layer of sketch entities?
Solid Lines go to Layer=0
Construction Lines go to Layer=Construction
Center Lines go to Layer=Center
I am currently using
Sketch.DataIO.WriteDataToFile("DXF", strDXFOutputFile)
which send everything to layer=0
Planning to overrule some of sub entities in a block. Let's make it simple . All lines and attributes in block should be circles and original block should not be seen. I came up with below code.
The code reacts differently if I remove
MyBase.WorldDraw(drawable, Wd)
and my goal is not to show the real block. Just showing whatever is overruled.
Public Class toverrule Inherits Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface.DrawableOverrule Public Overrides Function WorldDraw(ByVal drawable As Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface.Drawable, ByVal Wd As Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface.WorldDraw) As Boolean Dim myBlock As BlockReference = CType(drawable, BlockReference) If Not myBlock.Database Is Nothing Then

I'm borrowing from the samples library in the Inventor:
Public Sub GetSingleSelection()
' Get a feature selection from the user
Dim oObject As Object
Set oObject = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartFeatureFilter, "Pick a feature")
MsgBox "Picked: " & oObject.Name
End Sub
Works fine, and is fairly simple, but the problem I'm having is if I press the escape key after starting the command, but before making my selection, I'm not able to start the command again.
I realize from my searching that using the Selection (Simple) sample allows for an interrupt, with some modification, was just wondering if there was something similar for this simpler selection option.
Using AutoCAD 2013 and TOL command to generate feature control frames. We set our lineweights based on layer assignments.
Problem is that when printing, AutoCAD seems to randomly assign a lineweight to the feature control frames. It can vary from what it's supposed to be (such as lineweight set for the dimension layer) or thicker than even what the object lines are set at. Seems to pick a random linewieght at time of printing for these elements (just the boxes, not the symbols/text itself).
Is there a setting we should be defining somewhere to force it to follow the lineweight of the layer that it has been assigned to? Known bug?
I need to return the entity name of the largest (longest closed) polyline in a selection set. At this point I have no trouble creating the selection set and even getting the area of the boundingbox, which is not the most accurate way to find the true size, but it's a start. The part that has me stumped is: if I iterate through the selection set, then how can I compare one to the other when I have access to the current entity. I've been staring at examples of lambdas but it seems to me that iterating through the selection set is going about it wrong in the first place.
Below is my current code with a remaining issue. I can return the largest area of the polylines (no good for more than two entities in selection set), but I do not know how to return the entity name:
(IF (> (SETQ SS (SSGET "x" '((0 . "*POLYLINE") (8 . "POOL") (-4 . "<OR") (62 . 5) (62 . 256) (-4 . "OR>")))) 1 ) (PROGN (SETQ a (1- a) ent (CDR (CAR (SSNAME ss a))) en2 (CDR (CAR (SSNAME ss (1- a)))) ar1 (APPLY '* (LIST (LAMBDA (ent) (VLAX-INVOKE-METHOD (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT ent) 'getboundingbox 'minpt 'maxpt) (SETQ pt1 [code]......
I am using Revit Arch 2011 and it is more natural for me to use shift to add to a selection and control to subtract from a selection. Can this be changed and how?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to add additional entities to the selection if any of the selected entities contains a an xdata value.
If I put the condition into the ImpliedSelectionChanged reactor I imagine will probably loop back on itself.
In 2013 SP1.1 we are noticing that when using offset in a sketch, the offset line/curve is invisible and cant be seen until a zoom is done, then it appears.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of notes for a given jurisdiction that I need to show on mumltiple layout tabs within the same file. However, the notes need to change their width, number of columns, height, etc. for each layout tab to work with viewports and other drawing elements within each tab. My question is this- is there way using fields, blocks, rtext, something that will allow me to create one master copy of the note and basically have instances of the note on those other tabs that I can adjust the wrapping, height, columns etc.? I could just create a bunck of copies of the same note, but then if we get a comment from an AHJ about the notes, we need to make sure the comment is addressed in each instance of the note instead of just one master note. Is there way to do what Im asking, or is the technology just not there yet?

We have many text entities in our drawing quoting a number "S3". We need to suffix that number with the text "PT" Most, if not all, of the "S3"'s are MText.
However, the "PT" text needs to be at about 70% of the size of the "S3" and be positioned almost like a superscript. It also needs to be a different colour for pen table reasons.
S3 = Colour 2, 0.35 text
PT = Colour 1, 0.25 text
We have this problem with nothing showing up in the properties tab when we select a line/object.

Is this more of a Windows issue rather than AutoCAD? We are running Windows 7/64.
When objects are selected, they don't show up on the properties panel (or on the Quick Select panel either) It doesn't matter what method I use:
-Pick one object (lines, arcs, circles, blocks, etc), the Quick Properties flyout appears, but empty. Properties flyout show "no selection"
-Window-select object or objects. Quick Properties bar shows up empty again. Properties flyout show "no selection"
-Click on the Quick Select icon. It prompts me to pick geometry. I do. The Quick Select window comes up, but where it says "Object Type", it only has the option "Multiple", and not the normal list of the geometry you selected.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wish to control an array within a block (see jpg). Basically, I have a series of circles which I want to fix to Distance1. I want to control the distance between the circles with an expression called 'centers' (say 80mm). When I change the length of Distance1 in the Properties-tablet to say 600-mm, I want the array to follow the dimension.
When I select the array, the fx button next to the column distance on the array-tablet is greyed out. If I were using Revit, I would apply a dimension and give it a label which I would manipulate in the identity-table. What should I do in AutoCAD to achieve the same result?
xref fade control not working?In model space I have xref'd a dwg (probably 2010 format) and it positions correct and displays in the normal default faded mode.

Is there a way to control the order of the attributes when they are inserted?
How to control linewieghts on the drawing views that have been created with the VIEWBASE command ?
