I want to insert or import an image that automatically recognizes my drawing coordinates.If I need to, I can use AUD (as Map 3D).However, my computer has difficulty processing too much data.
View 7 RepliesHow can I automatically get point coordinates and show it in drawing. For example I have 100 points and I need to write x and y coordinates right next to the point. (not in table or somewhere else).I guess I need a plugin or smth?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am testing using script files to automate inserting blocks for As-Built drawings. My script files run fine, but AutoCAD is placing the blocks at a location that is different than what the input on the command line shows. For instance, I am placing a block at (6,6), which is reflected in the command line, but the block is actually placed at (6,5.898). The 5.898 does not appear anywhere in my script file, and the command line even shows that (6,6) was entered for the insertion point.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using the ALIGN command to overlay two groups of blocks, I'm then using some VBA code to export the coordinates of the blocks to an excel sheet to make comparisons.
The issue I'm having is when I use the ALIGN command the coordinates exported are different to those in the drawing (but only for those moved using the ALIGN command).
I don't get this issue when I use the move, rotate and mirror commands, only ALIGN. What may be causing this?

I am working with surveying points and what I used to do was insert the dxf file containing the points to my drawing and they would be inserted with their correct scale. However, now in AutoCAD 2013, when I insert them they are in a different scale and I must adjust them. Is there anyway to have their original scale carry over in 2013?

View 2 Replies View Relatedsometimes i like to insert image into a Dwg. In 2012 i use to drag and drop the image from the source folder to autocad screen then i had the insert instructions, scale, position etc.
But i can't drag and drop images anymore in 2013, i have to use _imageattach icon to open the open manager then select an image.
Is there a way to reactivate the drag and drop feature in 2013 ? Must be a Variable to autorise that.

Civil 3D (2013)
My application inserts 4 DBText lines and 2 PolyLines into a drawing from another drawing(or Source Database). I created a special layer ("warning") into which these entities are inserted. Then I combined these entities into a group so the user can move it out of the way while they are working.
When the title block data is refreshed, I want to redraw my 4 lines of text and 2 lines at the location last set by the user. I have successfully implemented redrawing the object at the X and Y coordinates last placed by the user by using ent.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Displacement(acVec3d) on each entity at the source and then doing a DBSource.WblockCloneOjbects to put them in the destination drawing at the correct position.
However, if the user rotates the group, I need to make the rotation also. This is where I'm having problems. What is the best way to grab the rotation value(s?) from the existing, user placed group, and then redraw onto the drawing at that rotated value? Is there an easier implementation that the way I am doing it?
I am trying to insert OS Tiles into a drawing using the insert x-ref command. I have managed to insert 192 tiles but still need to add 29 more tiles to complete. When I try to insert another x reference AutoCAD just goes into a continual loop. Have to force AutoCAD to crash after ten minutes.

I have an excel spreadsheet with a lot of coordinates. I know how to insert a large amount of coordinates as an block in my dwg. But what I want is to connect my Excel to my dwg, so if I change my Excel automatically the blocks in my dwg change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to twick my lisp routine (attached) to run it without asking.This lisp asks if I want to "Update" or/and "Import," while I have a source dwg. and I want to: (Update and Import).

automatically insert the arc like the picture? Is there a setting somewhere that will do this? Right now when we have a location that cannot accomodate the text we are drawing an arc and grip moving the dim text to the new location.

What I want to be able to do is insert blocks from an ASCII and also set the x-, y-, and z-scales.
For example, I have these lines in ASCII, the data points refer to X position, Y position, Z position, X scale, Y scale, and Z scale.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently set up out civil 3d to do auto linework, which went really smooth.The first issue is with my points. When I go to Import Survey Data to insert the points and do auto linework, it doesn't insert the points in the right location (nothing is .86 off and easting is 1.36 off on every point). But if i were to insert the points by going to Points and clicking Import, they are right on? second, who do I get symbols to automatically come in when I insert the points? (power poles, hydrants, inlets, etc.).

So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..

My drawing settings is set for US Feet. My Data Collector is set for US Feet. I only import a txt file into the drawing. My txt file coordinates match my Data Collector but never in the drawing. We're only talking about hundredth but I don't understand why it changes in the first place.
Example
Point 1 in txt file & DC --- 10000N 5000E
but in drawing --- 9999.98N 4999.99E
