AutoCAD 2013 :: Sectioning And Dimensioning Fillets
Jun 3, 2013
I would like to place arrowheads on the vertical sectioning lines (for the hatched view on the right), as well as on the horizontal line (for the bottom view), but I couldn't succeed in doing this. So, I left it just as line without arrowheads. Also, I would like to know if there are options for dimensioning fillets, as the one in my drawing comes with round symbol of portion of circle upon which the arrowhead touch (instead of on the fillet itself) - see R.12 and R.50.

I am having an odd problem in AutoCAD 2014. I have 3D solids and when I cut a section through the building various objects in the 2D section are placed very far (like over 100,000 meters) to the left or the right of the main section. I have exploded all blocks down to their base components (all 3D solids).

I have a fairly complex solid model built in Autocad 2013. I would like to dimension it now. I have various individual parts plus sub assemblies and weldments etc. What are best practices for doing this in an organized way? Should I copy various parts over to other drawings and dimension them separately? It seems odd to pile everything onto the one model. I know that Autocad is not Inventor (which I am somewhat familiar with), but does it have some similar tools for doing individual part drawings to keep things manageable?

I am trying to dimension using ordinate dimensioning style, but I couldn't get some of the lines to change at specified points by 90 degree, and then to continue parallel to the first line. The default couldn't be bent to 90 degree, and desn't stop at where I wanted to bend.

When using Layout/baseview/section tool, you end up with paper space views of the model so that when you go to dimension the view, you get the paper dimension, not the model dimension. How can I change this behavior?

Is there a way to get proper dimensioning when generating views with the"Viewbase" command. I get erroneous results when using the dimordinate and dinbaseline commands with these views.

I have to create a workplane and then define the section.
Usually the sectioning is done w.r.t flat surface/s and then the section plane can be offset depending upon our requirement and placement in the assembly. I am not getting this offset option when I want a Sectioned View. The section takes where I click on the flat face straight.

When I make a half section view in an assembly the frame generator members do not section, they remain full length. Is this normal or something with my setup?

I have yet another query to ask. I have created an assembly with standards parts and objects mainly;
1. Valve with Actuator
2. Stud Bolts with Nut
3. Angle bar
4. Objects (Clamps)
I wanted to show an ISOMETRIC cross sectional view of the said assembly. I noticed after doing it so, that there were missing standard parts/objects.
How do I make them visible on the cross section ISOMETRIC view?

Is there another way to retract fillets? I've tried the ctrl, shift, and both at once. None of those key selections did nothing with my 3D drawing. Is there something I could do in my settings to adjust this?

I recently started drawing in cad, and i have a couple problems. At time now i am trying to learn more of isometric drawing and i have couple questions about drawing a particular figure:
21.jpg
So in there i don't know how to draw that "thing" witch i highlighted in red. I don't know at witch angle i should draw it's center(center length should be 50 cm). If I would know that, i could easily draw a isocircle above. So how do i find this "right" angle?
Second question would be about isofillets - i read here in forums that i should do them in isocircles, and i did that and i got good results - it looks very good, but the problem is, that in this drawing, it shows that those isocircles should have a defined radius - R6, R16 and etc, but if i do round corners with isocircles, i dont get that result(in R16 case radius is even way too big). So maybe there is a way to do them "right" and have them defined? I attached that drawing .

I have a shape that happens to have many nodes; it was simple to extrude it (inventor saw it as a complete shape) but adding fillets is another story. each tiny segment requires a click to select it. is there any way to simplify this — either through simplifying the path somehow or by selecting the edge in some other manner?
i saw a thread on the forums about imported 2d vector files with a similar issue. I did import my file but it came from rhino. everything is fine except this one issue. i guess i could go back to rhino but i would prefer not to.
i have attached a small screenshot of one area of my sketch.

I have come to Inventor after using Pro-Engineer and Solidworks. How to find the inspect tools difficult to use? The effort required to find the radius of a fillet (for example on imported parts) is huge. I am using IV 2013.

I'm using AutoCAD 2010 32bit on Windows XP with built-in video - so no hardware rendering, etc. I have a situation where a 3D solid that I have created looses its fillets while creating a PDF.
The solid was built using Union, Subtraction, Slicing and Fillet operations. I have attached the DWG and two PDFs - one with fillets, the other without. Both PDFs were created within moments of each other from the same DWG. Notice in the DWG that the solid model has now lost all the fillets on the edges, but they were there when the good PDF was generated. I create the PDFs using ACAD's Output | Export PDF feature on a single Layout in Paperspace. When the PDF is generating, for about two seconds you see the solid edges loose their fillets, and then sometimes return to normal, but other times the DWG changes and I have to add the fillets again.
I know about using the Print option, and also 3rd PDF generators but they also fail - plus, I want to use Output because it's more convenient. I like AutoCAD, but I am thinking of dumping it for SolidWorks (which I just evaluated for 30 days). I can't be putting a lot of time into models that loose their fillets. This same issue happened to me about a year ago, and I finally had to re-create the model from scratch to solve. It's ridiculous that this doesn't work, it's kinda fundamental.
BTW: I tried a fresh OS and ACAD install and the problem persists.

When I am adding blends or fillets to a 3D model, sometimes after picking a few edges I will inadvertently select a wrong edge. Can I deselect the edge and resume selecting edges for the fillets or do I have to start over from the beginning?

I am using Inventor 2012 and have recently experienced a problem with the fillet not working correctly. I have a curve and a straight line that connect and when I select fillet it will allow me to select the curve but not the straight line. I have been able to do this in the past with no problems.

I have a tube steel frame and need to show weldments between the tubes except for the inside fillets. I then need to show sanding the welds flush. Also I need to show a rounded edge where the mitered point meets the outside edge of the tube beside it. I'm very new with inventor Attached is my curret drawing file.

We do technical illustrations and are switching to Adobe Illustrator from another software. One function we find very necessary is creating rounded fillets with specified radii between two lines. Is there a way to accomplish this with AI or is a script required?

Is autocad 2012 capable of dimensioning a solid object in model space horizontally vertically and diagonally say across the opposite corners of a cube, or along the hip of a roof? What am I missing here, I am using the full version of autocad for exactly this feature but am still unable.

When I am typing out text and get to a fraction is allows me to stack it diagonally so the 1/4" looks nicer. When i dimension, however, it does not seem to stack the fractions the same way. I took a look at the Format - Dimension setting and did not see the option in there to change it. I would like to have the fractions stack diagonally like they do regular text.

When I am doing the details for a drawing I need to show the point at which a dimension on the elevations precisely starts but instead of the actual dimension I need a description such as "Frame Height", "Rough Opening", "Offset From Columnline", etc. I have always entered "T" after I set my two points for a dimension to replace the dimension with text. On my detail sheets there are a lot more of these than actual dimensions.
