AutoCAD 2013 :: Control Splines To Make Perfect Arc?
Feb 12, 2013how can I control the splines to make a perfect arc. Is there an other way to control the spline with out draging each point of the spline?

I'm creating a 3d spline cage (like a box made with splines) and need to make it renderable with a rectangle profile.
the rectangle is pointing in different directions depending on which line inside the spline.
What I want to do is change multiple splines from "Show Control Vertices" to "Show Fit Points"
The problem is I have over 500 to do, and I cannot select each one individually and do it. It would do my head in.
Is there any way to change multiple splines all at once?
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?

If I have imported a large multi-spline object, is there a way to bust it up into separate splines easily -- without having to detach each one individually?

These files are both from SolidWorks yet one shows as perfect and the other as rubbish. Is there any reason for this and is there any way to make the rubbish one come out as nice?
Come to think about it I may have exported the one as a dxf (the poor one) and the good one as a dwg. Is this the difference? But both are dwg now so I don't see why it should remain poor quality.
I have a chain moving along a spline, and I want to know how to make the chain disappear when it reaches a certain point, then reappear when it moves out of that point. I don't want the whole chain disappearing, i just want the part of the chain that has moved off of the spline.
I suppose you could say i'm trying to hide it.
I'm trying to make the clawshot from twilight princess. The chain shoots out a hundred feet, but then disappears when it goes into the device.
Was wondering if there is a way or a plugin for 3dsmax to use splines or nurb curves to create "Jura"-like line patters- the exact thick and thin line formation you would see on a dollar bill. To create curves, and contours, around text and shapes.

I am trying to make 1 object out of 3 closed splines. I am a max user and this command is called Attach inside max. I am presently learning Maya as my new job require the rigging to be done inside Maya and instead of exporting my controllers aswell learn how to do it in Maya...

In the image the black pixels are the new selection, and red pixels are one of the alpha channels. No matter what I do, I can't make the new selection completely "fill the red pixels".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to make a drawing for the cover of the control box for my new CNC. The cover will be 4”x 16” x 1/8” thick Aluminum and will have holes for 8 switches, with letters for the function of each switch, plus 4 mounting holes 1/8” diameter in the corners.
My problem is how to establish the center lines for the switches and the mounting holes. So I draw a rectangle 4”x 16” and then if I want my switches to be 1” above the bottom edge of the cover how do I establish a center line to have all switches lined up?
The same for the mounting holes in the 4 corners. How do I establish the center lines if I want to have each hole 1/2" away from each corner?
How to write the letters for each switch? I was thinking to draw a rectangle above each switch and center the description inside each rectangle. Is this the best way?
I used the free select tool to free select an area of an image that is not a square (odd shape), how do I make that selection a perfect square if pasted to new image or new layer??? rectangular would be fine too...

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. No matter where I have the slider in display options, the xref fade does not change. Even changing the system variable through the command line is ineffective.
I'm running AutoCAD 2013 with Service Pack 1.1. installed.
(Using AutoCAD 2013) I am trying to insert a .dwg as a block (which has attributes) using the "-insert" command, but the attributes order wrong. The .dwg I'm inserting is the "Exploded" version of the block (loose attributes) so that I don't have to explode it after inserting.
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 ?
