AutoCAD 2013 :: Is (Create View) Strictly A 3D Model Utility
Jun 24, 2013We just installed AutoCAD 2013 migrating from AutoCAD 2010 so missed a few releases."Create View" seems like a great utility for detailing, but I was unable to get it to work. Is it something as obvious as only works with 3D models, or what?! Does special view window [parent view] have to be set up intially?

Jul 11, 2012I have an AutoCAD drawing (I did not create it) of a proposed trail in my city, and I've been tasked with making some kind of model or render of a section of it. I'm at a loss for how to even start, unfortunately. In the end I would like to have an accurate 3D model of a boardwalk section of the trail with surrounding terrain. I have Sketchup, Google Earth, and Revit at my disposal.
My first problem is topography. When I import the CAD drawing to Revit it seems there is some topographical data, which will be needed to realistically build the boardwalk on top of. I was able to get the terrain of the area into Sketchup from Google Earth, but then I don't know exactly where to build the model.
I've attached an image of a floor I created in the outline of the boardwalk. The area in question begins at the two handicap parking stalls (represented as the two blue towers for some hilarious reason) and ends at the second square (a viewing platform). My preferred method would be get an accurate topograhic site in Revit, build the boardwalk, and then place surrounding vegetation so I can get some renders.
EDIT: I've attached "Screenshot 2" which shows I found I was able to create terrain in Revit by selecting a layer of the CAD file. However that layer is suspended above, and my placeholder floor is underneath. Now I just need to get the floor (representing the boardwalk) to go along the terrain.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Create 2D Section Of 3D DWG File
Aug 28, 2012I tried to create a 2d section of a 3d dwg file (imported from Revit)

What is the reason of it? It's a 3d dwg file exported from Revit.
Also, can you generate a 2d section thru the xref.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create New File 2013 (Freezing And Lagging)
Feb 21, 2013-Inventor 2013 SP1.1 (Issue)
-Inventor 2011 SP2 (No Issue)
Templates have been coverted up from 2011, keeping copies of the old templates in separate folders all under the same parent directory.Have 2013 mapped to the folder with updated templates located on a network drive. Total of 18 temolates including the standard templates.
Computer specs:
Win 7 Pro 64bit Service Pack 1
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz
8GB Ram
NVIDIA Quadro 2000
The Issue:I start Inventor 2013 or open an .ipt/.iam ect. I now want to create a new file so I click the "New" Icon.Inventor freezes for 10-15seconds and finally shows the templates.After that if you click on any of the templates it freezes instantly. Or if you scroll the browser bar down to navigate the folder. 15-35 seconds
After selecting the correct template it freezes for about 15 seconds.For those keeping track Thats 40-65 seconds just to open a drawing...
For Inventor 2011.Click, Click, Click. Open...Takes maybe 5 seconds.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: How To Create Smaller Area Of Floor Plan Into New File
Dec 12, 2012I have no background with AutoCAD 2013, but my boss has given me the software and tasked me with taking entire floor plans of an individual floor .dwg and create smaller areas of each floor into separate, new .dwg's (like several rooms together) that then could be converted into .pdf's for sharing and/or printing. I have tried to find a simple tutorial or explaination of how to do this, but AutoCAD is such an amazing and complex tool that I'm having trouble with the terminology even.
I was right-clicking on the 'Model' tab to create a 'New Layout', right-clicking that to get to 'Page Set-Up Manager' and 'Modifying that to select 11 x 17, Landscape, and 'Adobe PDF' in the Printer dialog box. When I worked in the new Layout window sometimes I could zoom in to a section of the floorplan and then go to 'A' button in the upper left corner and select 'Print' and sometimes the resulting .PDF file would be that smaller section, and sometimes it would still just be the whole floorplan.

AutoCad 3D :: Extract 2D Elements Used To Create 3D Model
Jul 5, 2011I've recently been given a *.dwg file that seems to contain a 3D model composed of blocks. I'm a long-time SolidWorks user, and in my parlance, what I've got is an assembly composed of individual parts.
I need to create a 2D version of each 3D part. Currently, my process isCut & paste 3D component into new document.
Select all and perform 'flatten,' removing hidden lines.
Select all and explode.
Manually remove a zillion duplicate and unnecessary line segments. Manually fix radiused / filleted corners, which have become a bunch of little straight line segments. Draw a polyline around the whole part. Run 'boundary' to create a new polyline approximating the original shape.
Clearly, this is not very efficient - nor does it produce an exact 2D duplicate of the face of the 3D part; what I get is a close approximation. I don't use AutoCAD to do 3D work, but I assume that, much like SolidWorks, a 2D sketch is created first and then extruded into the 3D objects.
This, in turn, leads me to believe that there ought to be a way to extract that 2D sketch intact for use elsewhere. How should I go about doing this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: 3D Model Of Helical Gear
Feb 2, 2013I have created a 3D model of a helical gear. The process followed was to use the profile of one tooth, which by the way is a true involute shape, then displace that profile and rotate it the amount needed to equal the face width of the gear and to match the helix angle. There is also a profile located at the midpoint of the gear. The profiles are all closed polylines.
I then used the LOFT command to create a solid tooth. It looks exactly like it should. I tried to use the SWEEP command but that rotates the profile 90 deg. from the path. Extrude won't work because the path is a 3D line in space.
I then invoked the POLAR array and put 28 teeth around the center of the gear. That too looks exactly as I would expect it to.
BUT - when I try to UNION the 28 teeth into one solid, AuotoCAD 2013 stops working. And that occurs the moment the cursor touchs any part of any individual tooth. If I try to UNION the array by dragging a window over it, it stops when the window gets about halfway over the model.
