I need to work with latitude and longitude, I believe there is a way to do this in autocad 3D Basics, but I can not remember how. How I could change the units to accept lattitude and longitude?
View 3 RepliesI have a file in autocad with something like 24,000 points of objects that include the x,y coordination in autocad... so i export all the point to a text file because i want to have all this point in my database of my site (i am using Google maps to see all the point on the map) but, the problem is that the x,y point is not in the correct format like the Google maps need... an example for some point:
181447.163751433,643530.564881084
But i need it to be with latitude and longitude... any formula to change this xy point to longitude and latitude and i will do it with c# or there some other way to do it?
When I look at the LatLong choices while in the "Select Global Coordinate System", I see a longer list than I expected. Which of these choices is most consistent with the Latitude and Longitude system Google Maps uses?

I have created a new point format with Point number, lat, long and the last 5 colums i created with User-Defined (data type is String)
When I import the point, it said doesn't match with point format.
Is there a way to create points using latitude and longitude. i have some borehole to be located on my project and the location information was given to as latitude and longitude.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be a bug somewhere in the way Lightroom 4 is exporting GPS information.The GPS data is fine in the .xmp file and in Lightroom 4 (shows up on the map okay)but when I export the RAW file to a JPG then the GPS info in the file properties (Windows 7) reads like a 2 or 3 long integers (for example -2147483648; etc). This may be normal but when I import the file into Photoshop Elements 10, the GPS info appears as zeros and when I upload the jpg to flickr, the GPS info is absent.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI wish to input the GPS data (latitude, longitude) manually in the ways:
- Insert the value directly into the GPS field on the image (in map mode). It is pretty hard. In fact, I try to copy/paste value but I failed. I wish to be able to simply add manually GPS data to a picture.
- Move the map to a point giving llatitude, longitude. Maybe add a field close to "search".
how to change default units to metric for inventor2013? Now I have them set as imperial.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running LT 2013. I have the Group Ribbon turned on and use it constantly. Until recently, whenever I would select the "Ungroup" button on the ribbon, a box would appear below the ribbon with a couple of button choices, "Accept" or something else.
I was looking at the shortcut list a couple of weeks ago, and went to turn off the command line (ctrl+9), and apparently entered the wrong command. In trying to undo my error, I probably entered some other commands, of which I have no idea what was entered. As a result, My "Ungroup" "Accept" button no longer shows up.
I know I just turned off a setting. But, I have been through the "Shortcut Key" list and I can't find it. I've been through the listings with AutoCAD LT 2013, and I have looked through the forums to no avail. And turthfully,, there are other text readouts that I used to get when doing a command that seem to be missing too. However, for now, I'd like getting the "Ungroup" "Accept" button turnd back on. I'll worry about the other ones later.
I am currently working on a school group project that requires me to submit all inventor files as "LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_PART,ASSY,DRAWING,etc..NAME". My original parts were all done in mm instead of cm, so for our project, I opened all new files and derived the same parts at a different scale to fix this scale issue between the members. For the new derived parts I temporarily allowed the file name to remain as part1, part2, part3.... and continued with the assembly. Now that my assembly is complete and I would like to change my part file names to the required format, my assembly will not show the parts and (?) symbol is shown by all parts with updated file names. I also changed the original file names and now the new derived parts, when opened, have the same (?) which I assume is related to the fact that the derived parts are dependent on the original file. Is there a way to update this information? We are using INVENTOR 2013.

In my autocad i draw in mm, how can i draw in m?

I have revived an old project that was started about 2 years ago. I went to attach my title block in paper space and the drawing was itty bitty.
Seemed unusual because in another layout the title block is there with the same page setups etc.
Then I looked at the block units and they were set to mm. Can it be changed? If so how? Or am I completely hooped?

My drawing template title block has a section for estimated weight. This value and overall size is used to determine shipping methods of our products. This value is pulled from the Type->Physical Properties-Model and Property->MASS. There is no option to turn off units. When our clients look at the drawing, they often get confused with lbmass unit. example; When someone asks what the weight of the product is, we dont say it is 1300 pound mass, we say it is 1300 pounds. I have looked around all different forums and found no complete answer or solution to this.
The only thing closest to a solution that I found on this forum is to create a rule that creates a custom iproperty within the model. [URL]........
You then have to create a text field in your title block that populates from that custom iproperty but can only be done when a base view is inserted from a model that has the custom iproperty rule applied.
From what I have tried, you can create a .ipt template to save you from creating that rule to create a custom iproperty each and every time, but to populate the title block field, a user needs to create that text field and draw from that custom iproperty once the base view is set on the drawing.
I also found a way to incorporate mass without units but the information will be put into the parts list. So instead of the weight being "automatically" entered into the title block after inserting base view, I could create a parts list for every drawing. (Not a good solution) [URL].........
One last solution that I found, is there used to be a tool called iProperty Collection[URL]....... that gave users the ability to customize some Inventor functions. One being the ability to change the unit displayed for MASS. I haven't tried using this tool because the last update off the website stated in 2009; says the software is not compatible with Inventor 2009 64bit, since I am using Inventor 2012 64bit, I think this is a dead end.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with dimensions changing from when I save the drawing to when I reopen it.
I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2009, exclusively in 2D. I save drawings in AutoCAD 2000/LT 2000 Drawing format to maintain backwards compatibility with our legacy documents which are still in regular use.
The exact process is:
1. Create dimension in existing drawing.
2. Set units of dimension. Typically this is fractional.
3. Save and close drawing.
4. Reopen drawing, and all of the dimensions units are set to decimal to the fourth decimal point.
If I interact with the dimension in any way, it will return to its set unit. For example, if I double click on it to bring up the Power Dimensioning window and just click Okay without altering anything, it will change back to its set unit. Likewise, if I move the dimension itself it will return to its set unit as well.
So far my solution has been to simply select the entire drawing at once, then move it X units one way, then X units back. The move back and forth will return all the dimensions to their set units.
Obviously this is not ideal, especially when sending drawings to co-workers who are unaware of the issue or even using different versions of AutoCAD.
ok here it goes, when i want to use the units menu to change from inches to mm , or use the modify menu i get the following error(s)
'_units Unknown command "UNITS". Press F1 for help.
and same thing happens with properties.
We are having an issue with Dimensioning and the Primary Units not maintaining the correct value. We use metric so the multiplier of 25.4 or .039370079 for Dim Scale Linear would be used in our Dimension Styles depending on if we are drawing in model space or annotating in paper space. We have created specific Dim Styles for Model and Paper space. Every so often some of us will us the Dim Style for paper space and a metric unit would be shown. When we go into the properties of that dimension and change the Dim Scale Linear to 1 it shows as a different dimension then it actually is. After looking at the correct dimenion, we noticed the Dim Scale Linear shows .9449 but gives the correct dimension.
Note: We are drawing in Metric a multiplier of 25.4, our dimensions are done in english. A scale factor of .039370079 is used to accomplish this.
There is a simple fix with Match Properties but it still doesn't answer why our dimension show up wrong with a different multiplier for Dim Scale Linear.
