AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Have Multiline With Same Width Even At Filleted Edges
Apr 19, 2013
Multiline 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?

I was trying to find out, how to change the width factor of multiline attribute and I failed.
The only way was to change the width factor of texstyle the attribute uses.
Is there a way to override this property for a single attribute? And if not, is there some reason for that?

I am using a multiple line attribute. I insert the block, fill in the text, and adjust the width of the multi-lines text so the lines are longer and there are fewer of them. I save and close the file, then re-open some time later and the width of the multli-ine attribute has reverted back to a different width (shoter) - I am assuming it is the default width that I set to the attribute. Is there a setting to stop this from happening? Is there something I should do when I create the attirbute?

I've recently noticed that my multiline text boxes in old drawings have been splitting themselves into multiple multiline text boxes. They aren't exploding into single line text because it won't let me use the convert command to turn them into multiline because they are already multiline.
I know the dimassoc command can be set to a certain value to cause all dimensions to explode but is there some kind of command that could have change itself and is causing this problem?

When will working with multiline attributes get easier? Having to do multiple clicks to get to a place to edit is one thing, but then you have to use multiple clicks to get out of it. Surely Autodesk can make this an easier process. It was great when these were finally added, now they just need to be more user friendly.

I am well aware this has been an issue for awhile and supposedly fixed in 2008 SP1.
But we are running Civil 3d 2013. and still getting this issue.
The Multiline Attributes in our title blocks keep moving themselves randomly upon reentering the drawing.
Any clear cut solution for rectifying this problem?

How to add a particular annotation for multiple selected multiline texts,In the attached screenshots, all Mtext were selected but couldn’t figure out how to add a particular annotation scale to them!
For example, I wanted all the selected mtext to have the 1:100 as annotation scale but sounds not to work with me.

I sent the following message to autodesk:
Issue: Dynamic Block causes crash
Preface: A dynamic block c/w a "flip" parameter and a multiline attribute will crash when the block and attribute is flipped, and the attribute justificatiob modified.
Explanation: When the dynamic block is flipped, the multiline attribute is also flipped causing its justification to switch from "top left" to "top right". When the attribute is edited in the in-place attribute editor to switch the justification back to "top left", it causes AutoCAD to crash.
Workaround: Instead of using the in-place attribute editor (i.e. same as MText editor), the attribute justification is changed by modifying the attribute properties in the "Enhanced Attribute Editor" dialog box - on the "Text Options" tab

Version 4.0.1.5601
I'm not in good command of the Xara model here. If I create a move a series of copies lines (in effort to, say, make a grid), if I move the line from the bottom upwards it tends to align on the top edge. If I move from the above downwards, it tends to align on the bottom edge.
However, not always. <----this spooks me a bit.
This is with "align to grid" on, but "align to object" off.
Is there a way to have the line path itself (the infinitely thin middle of the line) align to the grid? I'm assuming that I can then worry about line joins (mitre, butt, etc.) separately.

I'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?

I 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?

Floating command line width gets shorter and shorter everytime you open up AutoCAD? Civil 3D is real bad, I used it to shoot the above video. In regular AutoCAD, it still shrinks, but it shrinks a lot less.
Any tips for keeping it floating but making the width stay constant?

I 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.
AutoCad 2013 & LT 2013

In the attached file there is a single 3D solid object. But there seems to be several unconnected lines, out in space, that are part of the object, but un editable. By selecting individual edges (on the problem geometry) edges on the solid are also being selected.

I use Rhino to make pendant models but I find that Rhino's fillet function very slow and inefficient, so I'd like to know if Autodesk would be better at doing that.

I'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.

All the assemblies that I created in 2012 are showing with lighter color steel that I don't like. Is there any way other that selecting each member to change the display color to a darker steel color? I want to change the display quality to show the member edges as straight lines and not dull zig zag looking edges. How would I do that?

How do I get my part to be transparent in the "Realistic" view like it is with the"Shaded with edges"? This is what it looks like with the view style set to "Shaded with Edges". Notice how it is transparent and you can see thru the part.
Now when I switch to "Realistic", I get this. Anything that is behind this part is not visible.
I want to be able to see thru the part when in the reallistic visual style.

Trying 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.

I use AutoCAD 2008 LT. I have a problem when trying to use multiline text. The text box will only allow me to write vertically, but when the text is completed, by left clicking on a grip and changing the rotation angle to 0 degrees, it reads horizontally. However, if I try to amend it, vertical text is the result. I do not have this problem with single line text. Whilst it is possible to read vertically, it is time wasting.

I have a situation where I'm adding some text and want to identify the part with a part#. For example Item 1, I want to add a circle to the number one for it to stand out on my text notes.
The same goes for each line item I have for my text note. For example, if I have 5 lines of text notes, I want to be able to put for example a triangle around 1 thru 5 line items.

I've attached screen shot to see what I'm looking to do. By the way used multiline text for my drawing notes.

I used to have a lisp routine for selecting multiple strings of single line text and converting them to a single multiline text box. I think there was even an express tool in previous versions of CAD to do this. I am in 2011 now, and I can not find a command for this. I would even settle for simply changing single line to multiline without adding multiple strings.
