AutoCAD 2013 :: Polyline With A Width Of 5
Sep 12, 2012I'm drawing a polyline with a width of 5". In previous versions, the pline would always appear solid. Now it appears clear. I want it to appear solid. If this is editable in the pline properties, or if it's something you turn on after you pick the first point, much like typing 'W' to enter the width?

Sep 20, 2012I know you can change the width of the polyline by using the command "plinewid". Is there a way to set a specific width of the polyline on just one specific layer?
For example, I create a layer called "WIDE", and I want the width of the polyline to be 4". But i want the pline width to be 4" ONLY whenever I draw on this particular layer called "WIDE"; but if I draw on the other layers, the polyline width would be back to the default width. Is this even doable?
AutoCad 2D :: RTF Import - Spaces Change Width Based On Width Of Columns
Jan 9, 2014I'm having trouble with the spacing of my text when I import a .rtf file. The spaces change width based on the width of the columns. The problem does not effect all the paragraphs only select ones. If I change the width of the column the spacing of the text will fix itself. All of the text is the same text style. I have attached a copy for reference.

Jan 14, 2013i have a set of coordinates, not on the polyline. i want to find the polyline width where that coodinate intersects perpendicular to the polyline (shortest distance). without going through all the vertices.
i have a polyline with many segments with varying width, which are constant through the each segments (no taper width). need to read off the "instantaneous" width.
just 2dpoly or lwpoly not 3d.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi Width Polyline
Oct 22, 2012I am having a problem with trying to come up with a way to create an inventor entity that is like an an autocad multi-width polyline. We make some of our lines in our silk screen as multi-width polylines - see example fig 1. I can't figure out how to accomplish this type of line effect in inventor - see example fig 2. We are actively trying to move from MDT2009 to Inventor and i can recreate most everything except this multi-width polyline.-

Aug 24, 2011Can it be done like you can with Text etc?
i know it can be done via lineweights, but you cant "lock" the lineweight in model space,
at the mo, to generate a thinkness in a line i use the global width for that pline.
i dont want to use line weights as i sometimes have multiple lines with different widths on the same layer, i could split the layers, but i'd rather not to.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Polyline Not Solid After Changing Width
Aug 31, 2012I have polylines and changed the width to 3/4" and now the Plines are not solid (filled like a hatch) anymore? They are splined as well. I must have changed a setting somewhere and did not know it. AutoCAD 2012.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Label For Polyline Width In Dynamic Block
Jan 14, 2011I have a dynamic block with several look-up values for the polylines width and I'd like to label them (as a text in the drawing over the block), and be able to move this label where best fits. I've being trying inside the block, but then it can't be moved outside of it. I tried MText with field outside the block, but it has to be applied in many one by one.
Should I use the block itself (how?) or there is a lisp for this? I have a lisp for bearing and distance for lines, which places the bearing text above them and the distance text below those lines, no matter what angle is. It will place in the middle and in the same angle as the line. I edited this lisp file, but how to change it for my purpose, as I don't understanding all the codes inside of it.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Polyline Width And Fillet
Feb 5, 2013I've been searching on and off all morning for a lisp routine, without any luck. I'm trying to draw a pline with a pre determined width (5") and be able to draw unlimited line segments then automatically fillet with a pre determined radius (5").
I wrote this generic macro: ^C^CPLINEWID;5;PL;\\;FILLET;R;5;F;P;LAST; to save SOME time but I want unlimited line segments. Can this be modified or would a lisp be the better route to go?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Plot Polyline Width In Survey Symbol
Sep 13, 2013I have a survey symbol for a tree that is created using two polyline arcs with width to make a solid circle. It is scalable in the desc key by tree size.
Sometimes when I plot a drawing the tree symbols plot (both paper and pdf) as "spokes on a tire", like a line with a polar array. (Even though the style is created with 2 polyline arcs with width)
If I explode the point object (not anywhere near ideal) then it plots as a solid circle as it should.
I don't maintain the template, I just use it, so modifying the point style isn't really an option.
I have not been able to nail down when it occurs and when it doesn't.
Illustrator :: Smooth Transition Of Stroke Width Along Line Segment While Preserving Original Width Outside
Mar 5, 2014Trying to use the width tool, I ran into the following problem. I would like to have a smooth transition of the stroke width between two width points while keeping the original stroke width unchanged outside of that line segment.
There are four width points here: two end points and two in between. The original stroke width is 200. The two on the left have one side set to 100 while the two on the right have one side set to 50. I would like to eliminate the distortion of the line width occuring in the first and third line segments. The only solution that I have come up with so far is to place two additional width points very close to the two middle width points: one with a 100-unit side to the left of the second point in the picture and one with a 50-unit side to the right of the third point in the picture. Yet there will be a small distirtion in between.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Polyline Global Width Missing From Properties Dialog
Sep 10, 2012It used to be that when you selected a ployline onscreen you could set properties for the line in the properties dialog. With this version of ACAD, if the polyline is not of uniform width on all sections then the global width option is missing from the options dialog.
I know that you can now right click and go polyline/width but i suppose i have been doing this a certain way for so long and now i cant and its annoying.

Photoshop :: Doubling Canvas Width Actually Tripling Width
Apr 1, 2013I'm having an issue where I'm creating a white border around two landscape oriented images that are the same exact size then doubling the width of the canvas. I've never had this issue before with PS CS6.. I tried resetting the photography workspace but no luck. I tried with two portrait oriented images and the same result. I've restarted my machine. I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64bit and I'm running PS CS6 64bit as well. Thought to do a repair through Programs and Features but there is only the option to uninstall. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary except use an action a few days ago I downloaded and used from
[URL]........
and I downloaded and used the press print action.
How I can correct this? If an image is 20 inches wide and I'm doubling it to 40 it's tripling the width to 60 inches. Is there a way I can reset every aspect of PS CS6 to get back to a factory state other than uninstalling and reinstalling?
Illustrator :: Select New Width Tool To Change The Width
May 9, 2010I drew a cured line with the brush tool in illustrator CS5, but when I select the new "width tool" to change the width, it doesn't work.
Here are my steps:
1. Select the paintbrush tool
2. Draw something
3. Select the "width tool"
4. Try to change the width but it won't work.
Since I draw with the paintbrush tool, the "width tool" can be very handy if I can get it to work.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Creating Upper Cabinet With Fixed Height But Select Different Width?
Feb 21, 2013I am creating an upper cabinet which has a fixed height but you can select different widths. What our firm does is also list the size of the cabinet. What I would like to do is make this font some sort of preset attribute and control it with the visibility states. I also want to control the font height by the scale of the drawing. my question is I if its possible and how? I've attached what I have thus far. The attribute is in teh top right corner and is justified as top right. The only way I can get this to work is if I manually adjust the font after its inserted into the drawing.

Apr 19, 2013Multiline width issue at edges when fillet is applied,
I wanted to draw a multiline with curved edges and to keep the width (scale) of the multiline the same at these curved edges.
Scenario:
The multiline is drawn say with 20 meters width (screenshot is attached)
The multiline is exploded (screenshot is attached)
The edges are filleted, say with 20 meters radius (screenshot is attached)
Now, when the width of the multiline is measured at the curved edges, then it is found that the width is more than 20 meters! (screenshot is attached)
Then how to have a multiline with same width even at the filleted edges?
AutoCAD 2013 :: Floating Command Line Width Changing On Open
May 1, 2012[URL] ......

Any tips for keeping it floating but making the width stay constant?
AutoCAD 2013 :: Text Style Width Factor And DText / Attribute Updating
Sep 26, 2012I am trying to get DText objects to update width factor when I change the Width Factor of the Text Style. We have one style (Simplex) & I hoped to be able to set the width factor of that style to 0.8 or 1.2 depending on what is required and then just insert objects from the tool palette so they have the correct width factor.
This seems to work for MText but not for DText or Attributes. Short of using lisp is there a to update the width factor of DText & Attributes? (hoping to be able to do this on LT also)
Only way I can see for DText is to qselect text and change style to something else and back to Simplex. Only way for attributes I've found is to advance edit block and change text style to something else and back.
