I trying, trying to create parametrization on 3d simple object - box. And it is no result. Why it works on 2d drawing but doesn't work on 3d... Can I someway link 3d object to 3d object? Just like in Inventor for example.

We'd like to create a simple 2D drawing for us in AutoCAD based on some of the data from the configurator automatically. Is it possible using AutoCAD LT 2013 or do you need the full version to build something like this? Also, does this sound like it would require a lot of programming in CAD?

As you can see, the command suggestion box is on the right. I don't know where is the setting to get them back to left.
I would like to know if there is a way / setting that I can turn of to where can do simple math problems when inputing numbers say for like offsetting a line without having to use AutoLisp.
For example if I was to offset a line I would type in "5.75/2" and get 2.875. I would like to be able to do this without having to type ( / 5.75 2).
Is there a way to do this without having to type all of that.
I am using AutoCad 2014, and at work we design driveline equipment so a lot of the drawings are from a front view to a section view, and for like a round cover that is in the front view it is easy to offset the centerline in the section view by the radius and continue drawing the section view.
I have plan and elevation views in autocad 2012. I am adding a new entry to my house and I just want to see what it will look like in a perspective view or something.
I went to the library and took out a tutorial on autocad 3D drawing. After 8 hours all I can draw is a stupid birdhouse with no hole for the bird to go in. I am not stupid and I am good with computers, so I figure that I am completely missing something here.
Is there not some way for me to take my plan and elevations and just put them together like one would a paper model?
Is there not some quick and easy way to mock up parts of houses?
I am just a homeowner, and I don't want to pay an architect to do this for me. Maybe I am using the wrong tool? Maybe I need Autocad Architecture? Maybe some other product? I am very frustrated.
So here is my challenge to all of you: assume that your dad or your friend wants to build a deck for his house, and he wants to model it in 3D to see what it will look like. He has never done anything in 3D in AutoCAD, but he can draw 2D drawings. He has exactly 8 hours to learn whatever tool he needs, AND, to produce the 3D drawing.
Note: a simple wireframe drawing is fine, I can color the thing with pencil crayons or whatever after if I need to.
I have a simple catchment area that I've routed to an inlet and then to an outfall. The 10 year storm peak flow going into the inlet is 3.91 cfs and my flow in the link to the outfall is 10.55 cfs.

I'm trying to import a simple IGES file into vanilla Autocad. I found the IGESIMPORT command and I can get the geometry to import. The issue I am having is that the geometry is importing as splines. Even if the geometry is a straight line, it is imported as a spline. Perfect arcs also import as splines and I can't find a way to convert them.
In Autocad Mechanical, I can use the IGESIN command and the geometry imports as regular lines and arcs. I'm working with a customer that doesn't have access to Autocad Mechanical and trying to find a solution for them with vanilla Autocad.

if i draw up a 3d sold part as the finished part, can i then draw a new rectangle solid body over the top of this and split the new solid body using the part as the split tool?
the idea being that i am left with a rectangular plate with a female 3d impression of the finished part in the top.I can't seem to use the part as a split tool?
I am trying to create a simple loft to show smashing the end of a pipe. I created the work planes based from the middle of the part. I placed a transition sketch and then a final sketch along with a center of the part sketch. When I could not get the transition to work I went back and added a sketch on the end of the pipe though I don't think it is needed. I still get nothing. I even followed the selection procedures from Wikihelp with no change.

I'm trying to insert the "greater than or equal" symbol in an MTEXT box. Normally, I just grab the old trusty Character Map utility in Windows to find my symbol and copy/paste into the bext box. The funny thing this time is that it forces the font to be Arial (I'm using Simplex on all my MTEXT objects). Here's something else strange: If I change the font in Character Map to Simplex, there ISN'T a greater than or equal symbol but there IS a less than or equal symbol!
So the next thing I tried was a straight Unicode entry in MTEXT. I first tried "U+2264" for less than or equal and got my nice, simplex symbol but entering "U+2265" still forces an Arial font! Is this simply the way it is or am I missing something here?

I am trying to create a simple 3D map, but not with the default iso settings. It's actually a remake of a map made many years ago on a squar grid using a rise of 1 and a run of 2 (all done by hand on graph paper). This creates an angle that is 26.5651°.
For iso, [scale: H=100%, V=86.602%] [shear: hoizontal axis -30°] [rotate: -30°] and so on, varying for the left, right and top. I have this working fine for iso.
My problem arose when I went to the 26.5651 angle. What settings should I use for the three sides (left, right, top)?
Is there any way to get the extrude and bevel tool to do work with my settings?
I'm creating a simple pink eraser by creating the outline with a spline to get the basic shape then extruded it. Now the edges are square/sharp. How do you get a radius on the sharp edges? I applied an "Edit Poly" modifier but it only allows for an edge chamfer and I need a smooth radius.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a simple 8x2 extrusion that will represent an aluminum band on a building elevation. The length varies by instance but needs to be reportable in a schedule (preferably using the "Length" shared parameter name.
I've never used reporting parameters before but have made an attempt at it in the attached file. The parameter of Length displays the stretched length in the properties box but won't appear in a schedule. The Instance Length parameter will appear in a schedule but doesn't always show the correct value.
I'll note that this family was adapted from one already created by someone else and the Length label cannot be deleted. It's as if the file was at one time a template. However, I've tried it from scratch, too and can't get it to work, sometimes not even being able to get the family to allow stretching the length.
