View 4 RepliesI want to turn this shape on the left, into one like the one on the right... i.e., not so many points.
I basically want to convert the polylines into arcs or something. i can do this by redrawing, thats no problem, but this is a very simple drawing compared to what i normally have to deal with, this is just an example.
How to draw 3D polylines, or convert single lines to polylines?

I have a large amount of "ellipses" in a Civil 3D 2013 drawing that were created as "circles" in Cyclone 8.03 (the laser scanning software from Leica-Geosystems). I need to work with circles so I can label the diameter of each in my drawing. Is there a way to automatically convert these ellipses, that have the same exact minor and major axis, into circles? Other wise I will have to reapeat the work in Civil 3D using the same point cloud!

When I trim these horizontal line that are Cross-Being with two circle the Remaining line segment is shorter than real distance between two arcs I thinks its happening?
Also I attached 7 pics I try show my problem.
Also when I want obtain horizontal distance with distance command or by linear the intersection is not start from circumference.
whats this and how I can get real horizontal distance between two arcs
How can i convert more polylines to one?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've got ObjectIds of a bunch of arcs that I need to convert to polylines for further processing.
I was thinking of using the COM interface and sending the PEDIT command and converting the arcs.
The only problem is I don't know of a way to put the objectids into a selection set, then call the pedit command and use the previous selection.
On my file I have some polylines that are the streets. So, they look like rectangles and curves, etc. I am working also on a 3D Model, and what I have to do next is to extrude them. The problem is that those polylines are not polygons, and so, they are not solids when I extrude them. I tried to use the command BO but it says that the lines are not closed, and I checked with OSNAP and they are! Is there any way to convert those polylines into polygons?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn autocad 2013 is the best way still to convert data you have connected to, for example a shape file, as feature data in order to convert that into polylines and text is the best method saving it all as a seperate drawing using the "save as autocad drawing command"? Is there way to do it individually in the current drawing so that I do not always have to be saving things out as seperate drawings and then copy and pasting them back into my working drawing?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI drew a cube using polylines by changing ucs. I want to join the polylines so that the cube contour becomes one single object.
Since the lines are in different planes I can not join them. How could I unite those 12 lines so they become a cube non solid(I plan on placing a sphere inside some of the cubes and then use "shade" for visualization so if the cube is solid I won't see the spheres).
I need a function that allows to convert the polylines selected with a width globalize defined in a double closed line (spaced by the same width of the polyline), with a hatch inserted automatically defined.
Brilliant idea to draw raceways quickly: instead of making handmade double lines, connect, enter the hatches all by hand, you could quickly draw the polyline with width identical to the size of the duct, and then the lisp transform it into a duct more aesthetically pleasing if compared to the full polyline!
Have recently upgraded to 2014 and can no longer get the AREA of a closed polyline in quick properties. It is no longer an option when customising the quick properties information. I know you can measure area in a number of ways but it was very handy to click on a closed polyline and have the area of that object come up in the Quick Properties window.
how to get the Area of a closed polyline in Quick Properties for 2014?
I'm having a bit of trouble getting my polygon closed without changing the dimensions of the polygon.The drawing attached or at URL....
However I do not know the radius of the angles A, B and C. I know that all the lines have to be the dimensions marked.
Can Autocad automatically bend the angle say, at A without changing the dimensions in order to complete the polygon? I tried this URL.... but found it wasn't what I wanted.
I'm woring with 2D polylines as exported from another piece of software. The problem I have is that the LTGeneration resets to disabled evertime a polyline is edited, ie broken or trimmed. Plinegen is set to 1 as the system variable, but as far as I can tell every time a line is broken etc it creates a new entity that doesn't inherit the ltgen properties of the previous line or the system variables. I know i can convert to polylines, but is there a better way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAs the above mentioned, I have a drawing drawn using polylines with width from someone. The width of the line are suppose to represent area,
To put things into prospective, here is an example:
The polyline is 10 unit long and with a width of 2 unit wide. If i explode that polyline, it will become a single polyline without width. The line are suppose to represent 10 unit long and 2 unit wide; representing an area.
My question is is there a way to change the line above directly from polyline with width to a close polyline (4 x polylines) of 10 unit long and 2 unit wide.
Just found the issue with my AC2013.
A bit of difference is that the polylines do not have to be even closed. Any polyline gives me exactly the described behaviour, which is definitely not intended. Appears still not resolved.
Is there a way of converting 3d polylines to polylines with an elevation?
I have a dwg of contour information, the contours are 3d polylines, because they are contours the z value is constant all along the line, so there no question what the elevation of the polyline would need to be.
I need to do this as I then need to import the dwg into a GIS programme called MapInfo whch doesn't read 3d polylines.
I have access to AutoCAD 2004 or 2005LT.
I am trying to write a *simple* DXF export procedure in a Delphi program.
I can generate PolyLines, Text and Circles OK but am having real problems with Ellipses. No matter what I put for the posn & axis, I just get a tiny circle drawn at 0,0. Oddly one DXF viewer (online) does show the ellipse correctly but 3 others do not.
Because this is a very simple application, I have not bothered with a Header (or Block & Table) section but from what I have read that should not be a problem.
I have attached the test DXF I have created.
I often use Inventor to generate 2D views of things for AutoCAD. Once I get the view into AutoCAD, I want to copy the outline, make a polyline of it, decurve it and make a wipe out of that.
This is all well and good until Inventor exports an ellipse in the drawing. They can't be converted to a polyline. So, is there some way to force Inventor to export them as some other entity type or is there a way to convert them in AutoCAD that I'm not aware of? The only two things I've tried are flatten and explode and neither of them works.
