AutoCAD Architecture :: 2D Elevation Object Hidden Line Removal?

Nov 26, 2012

I'm running Architecture 2013.  When creating an elevation object from a 3D model, the hidden lines are not being removed.  I've never seen this before, though I have been using Architecture and ADT for years.  I've recently upgreaded from 2009 to 2013, and VOILA! 

Hidden lines not removed from elevation and section objects.  I've tried various tests, to no avail.....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reference Line - Hidden Line Removal?

Jan 24, 2012

how to make the lines of a reference part that are in effect acting as hidden lines become removed from a view?

We've tried making the part phantom...which isn't right as we need the line representation of the part to be as the reference linestyle...

We've tried changing variables & tick boxes in the edit view dialogue boxes...but nothing works...

AutoCAD Architecture :: Getting To Hidden Object Properties In Vbscript?

May 25, 2007

it sure is useful to be able to get to the rest of the object properties that are there but hidden from property sets.

ADT Window Style Type in a PSD
Filed under: visitmycarfeed, drivemy cars, minicartag, internet — wilhemina947judith @ 5:38 pm

The Window Type for a windows style is not available as an automatic property. So a bit of VBScript is needed. Create a PSD (Property Set Definition) that applies to Windows styles and add the automatic property Handle. Then add the formula below. Notice that [Handle] in the formula must be selected from the “Insert Property Definitions” list. In the code

AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.0 refers to ADT 2007. For other versions of ADT change it. ADT 2004 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4
ADT 2005 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4.5
ADT 2006 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4.7
ADT 2007
- AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.0
ACA 2008 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.5

[code]....

I have already wrote the code to get the elevations of ceilng grid objects, diffusers and lights in autocad MEP 2008. Now to get this to work for basic hatch objects that we like to use for gyp ceilings...

AutoCAD Architecture :: Create Property Definition That Will Display The Elevation Of Space Object

Dec 18, 2012

I am trying to create a property definition that will display the elevation of a space object.  I looked through the automatic properties and did not find anything that looked like the elevation.

I have tried the following but was unable to achieve any success.

RESULT="--"
On Error Resume Next
Set AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
Set Obj = AcadApp.Activedocument.Objectidtoobject("[ObjectID]")
RESULT = Obj.elevation

That formula does work if i swap elevation with say height, width,length or any of the properties found in the automatic property list that are a single word.  I know the elevation is there I just don't know how to access it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Elevation Takes On Elevation Of Snapped Object?

Dec 19, 2012

When I snap a point to an object, the point takes on the elevation of the object. I would rather the point's elevation stay as is.

-changing osnapz variable

-latest civil 3d service pack

A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue

AutoCAD LT :: Continuous Line At Beginning And End Of Custom Hidden Line

I made this custom hidden line, here is the defiinition:

AutoCad :: How To Change Line From Solid To Hidden Or Dashed Line

Sep 7, 2013

I must be missing something fundamental when trying to change a line from a solid line to a hidden or dashed line in Autocad 2000. I use the ltype command then load either Hidden, or dashed ISO,or both, and invariably the scale is way off in that I always end up with a still solid line, after using modify properties. After all that, every line I draw after that comes out dashed. Maybe I should fool with the layers? Is there a basic procedure I should follow here?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Editing Property Sets From External Objects - Removal Of File Lock

Sep 4, 2012

I've got a problem following playing around (Typical, isn't it?). Architecture 2011 allows editing property sets from external objects through the host drawing (i.e. change a room number of a property set attached to a space xref'ed in from another construct). This obviously has to put an editing lock onto the xref to prevent data loss in case somebody else works on the xref in the meantime. This editing lock is removed when I close my host drawing. However, the lock is immediately restored when I re-open the host drawing.

How can I release the xref file lock again after editing the property sets in my host drawing?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Hidden Linetype Wall Fill

Apr 9, 2012

I need a wall fill pattern that displays as a hidden linetype...in other words, like a polyline with a global width of 5" with a hidden linetype.  Is this possible with an AEC wall? 

This is obviously a commonly used drafting standard for fire-rated walls or other wall types, so I'm sure it has been addressed by Autodesk, I just cant figure out how to get the wall type.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 0-width Walls From 2008 Hidden In 2012?

Sep 24, 2012

I have drawings that were made in AutoCAD Architecture 2008 that when opened in AutoCAD Architecture 2012, the 0-width walls in the drawing don't show up anymore. The only solution I found was to change the Base Height in the properties of the wall (which I accessed by choosing the zdiagnostics display setting) to 10' instead of the standard 1/2" that we normally use. 

I'm guessing it has to do with the wall styles as they were transferred from out 2008 to our 2012 template.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2D Elevation Hatch Scale

Dec 19, 2013

ACA2011

So I've got a Construct that is the building model. I also have a View file for my 2D extracted elevations. I've just 'Refreshed' one of the elvations based on some updates I did to the construct model. But when the 2D elevation refreshed, it's surface hatching (roof tiles) scaled itself down considerably. What controls this? I need to have that hatching scale back up and don't know how.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2D Elevation And Axis Lines

Aug 14, 2012

How to get the Axis line on a steel Member (W18) to show when creating 2D Elevation or Section of It.  I have been able to create center lines by placing a 3d grid and then changing from No Plot and it creates center lines on the elevation. But all jobs do not require a 3d grid so I would like the axis line form the member to show in the 2d elevation.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Roof Elevation Property

Feb 8, 2008

what the roof elevation property relates to and why? Actually, I know that it is the initial insertion point of the roof baseline, but why doesn't it update with grip edited changes in the elevation of the baseline? See the attached file. The three x-lines converge on 0,0,0. The roof elevation is stated as 0. Obviously that property is meaningless. Considering the importance of roof elevations and making them meaningful, you'd think there would be some rhyme or reason to that property.

AutoCad :: Hidden Command Line?

Dec 30, 2013

I've been trying to draw without the command line visible and am liking it. Have been using F2 if I need it while in a command but am finding the text window a bit obtrusive. It also gets hidden when you click in the drawing area.

Is there a way to activate the command line transparently? If you are in a command, Ctrl+9 cancels it.

I have drawn a black horizontal line 100mm long. Under that line a have a 100mm line coloured blue. How do I select the blue line? In AutoCAD 2000 I would hold down ctrl and select the line. Then scroll using the mouse pressing right click to select. I am currently using AutoCad2011. This function does not work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Take A Hidden Line Screenshot?

Aug 19, 2012

I used these commands years ago and cant remember what they are. I am designing furniture in 3D and want to view the object at SE Isometric, then rotate an additional 18 degrees, then take a screenshot that will basically give me a block that is a line drawing of the object with lines hidden. This is a question with two parts:

#1: How do I rotate from SE Isometric 18 degrees to get the view angle I want?

#2: How do I take a screenshot of the object that will produce a block with hidden lines?

There are two seperate commands for each of these, I just can't remember what they are.

Attached is a picture of the final product I'm looking for.
