AutoCAD 2013 :: Label Block Reference
Aug 2, 2013I wonder if this can be done. i have a number of blocks which have labels to them i.e. JW1, JW2, JW3 etc. which corresponds to the block name. Is it possible to have the label automatically referenced to the block name so if i change the block name to JW10 the label within the block changes to JW10 as well.

May 18, 2012When I'm into reference edit mode (REFEDIT) I can make match properties command also on objects which are not in working set - this was not possible to do before and it is pretty annoying. Is this a bug or some new function, hopefully turnable on/off?
Also I never understood, why is not possible to copy anything from reference edit mode, but it is possible to paste into, also there are no problems in Block editor mode? It seems to me like artificial set limit with no obvius explanation why would that be good especially when I see that it is possible to match properties on outside objects.

AutoCAD .NET :: Error While Changing Block Definition Of An Block Reference
Oct 21, 2013I'm trying to change block the definition of an block reference.
I did something like this:
blockreference.BlockTableRecord = newBlock.ObjectId;

AutoCAD .NET :: Determine If A Block Reference Of The Block Exist
May 3, 2012I have a block: “Block_A”. I am trying to determine if a block reference of the block exist.
Currently I would iterate every block Reference in the Block Table, and then dig deep into each block ref . . . . .
I was wondering if I could just take “Block_A” and see if it has reference and where the references are. Perhaps this is just wishful thinking but I was hoping for a faster way to obtain the references then to iterate thousands of blocks in each table record.

Nov 18, 2013In AutoCAD 2010, the UCS Icon settings dialogue window has a 'Cone' setting for displaying coned arrows at the end point of each axis. This 'cone' setting has been removed from 2011-2014.

Nov 22, 2013is it possible to Zoom and Pan whilst I have a title box open.
I work for a company that has installed its own toolbar and and attribute box's to be filled out.
My issue is that I need to zoom into various parts of the drawing to be able to fill out all the boxes.
Currently I have to close the dialogue box down every time I want to move the drawing to a specific are.
If there was a command or setting that I could use to be able to keep the box open and move the drawing at the same time that would be great.

Jan 11, 2013I have a weird problem with exploding block reference with vb.net as follows.
When I use BR.explode(DBObjectCollection), and append the entities in the object collection to model space,
the 3d Polylines inside the block reference do not get appended and I do not get any kind of error. The reason for this eludes me as of yet. (remember, simple polylines and lines and other objects do get appended to model space)
When I use BR.explodetoOwnerSpace(), the block reference explodes as it normally is expected to, but then I have no way to collect the objects from the exploded BR.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRevit :: How To Turn Off Or Control Meaningless Reference Points
Sep 28, 2012When I make my rooms for a building, I want them to be a specific distance from the previous wall, say 10'. But when Revit measures the walls, it measures from the center line of the wall and not the edges. How do I correct this so it is measuring from the nearest edge so I'm not constantly having to think about how thick the wall was on each side and manually add 5 inchs or whatever it is in order to get a solid 10' room.
Also, when placing rooms, I have found that the program keeps making the reference distances from points halfway across the house. For example, if I want to make a room 10'x 10', and go to place the top wall of the room. If there is another wall across the hall or something that may intersect if you extend an imaginary line, the reference dimensions won't be 10' from the bottom wall, but it would be something like 4' 5 7/16" from that other room that has nothing to do with the wall I'm trying to place. Does that make sense? How do I turn off or control the meaningless reference points?

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Locate Text Near Block Reference
May 24, 2012I have tried to use intersectwith to locate text (MText or DBText) near a block reference. Some times it works and some times it does not. The hard part for me is understanding why it occasionally works when most examples are just duplicates with modified text and attributes.
My block reference has 4 attributes to the left (Right Justified) of a circle and 2 attributes inside the circle. The text objects are used by some CAD operators instead of the upper 2 lines of attributtes. (Guess they dont know how to modify attributes) I want to locate these texts and insert text into the corresponding attribute.
Block Reference:
Att 1 |'''''''| <-- CAD User will insert a txt over Att 1 and Att 2,
Att 2 | | <-- both attributes are usally left blank or contain a space
Att 3 | |
Att 4 |.....|
