AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: 3D Polyline To Polyline To Spline With Max

Sep 21, 2013

Due to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:

- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties
- convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object
- method -> fit from properties

You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.

I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?

Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.

However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.

how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.

AutoCad :: Polyline Or Spline Elevation Change

Apr 13, 2013

I need to draw a polyline (or spline) in the XY-plane, followed by a vertical segment before continuing in the XY-plane again. The challenge is working out the vertical part while still in the top view. There's no way to change its elevation on the fly that I know of.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Convert Ellipse Into Spline Or Polyline?

May 3, 2012

Our customer send us drawing with ellipse into.With Autocad 2008 I bought a plug-in call SplineConvert that did the job perfectly but not compatible with 2013.

Is there any plugin that could replace that tool  ?

Is there any standard ACAD command that could easily do this Job ?

I need a way to make 2 or 3 times per week  this converting on all ellipses of large and detail 2D drawings so no time to offset in and out all those .

I try also DXFOUT in R12 but all the spline are being converted into 3d  polyline making a huge files that froze my PC.

I also try FLATTEN but did not see how it work , the ellipse stay an ellipse.

AutoCad :: Divide SPline (or Polyline) Into Different Lengths Based On Input

Dec 14, 2013

The task should be similar to the _measure command but, I would like to divide the spline into lengths that I give in input. (Decided by user)

e.g. Length of spline: 10.000 meters

Place a block at length:
- 1238 m
- 2005 m
- 2018 m
- 2458 m
- 4098 m

and so on..

How I can do that? It would be perfect if it would be possible to give an excel file with the length values.

Revit :: Converting Spline To Polyline In CAD

Dec 7, 2011

The surveyor's CAD file includes a boundary line that is mostly curves.  It's drawn as a spline.  I'm trying to create a PROPERTY LINE in Revit. I've converted the spline to a polyline in CAD.  In Revit, PROPERTY LINE sketch mode, I can hghlight the polyline but can't select what I've highlights.  Only one of the polylines gets selected.  So I have to try to select them all one at a time. converting a spline to polyline in CAD for use in REVIT?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Spline Design Generator - External Involute Spline Error

Sep 28, 2011

I'm trying to create an external involute spline (ANSI B92.2M) Fillet Root Side Fit 26.9mm x 1 mm x 26 teeth x 38 mm long using the spline generator with Inventor 2012. I created a test shaft"M-182-AMA.ipt" that is Ø26.9 mm x 38 mm long with 1 mm radius on each end of shaft.

I use the following steps:

1. After creating component "M-182-AMA.ipt" I select Design tab>>Power Transmission>>Involute Spline.
2. A window appears that has the caption "Involute Splines Connection Generator".In the Dimensions section I choose "Splines Type: ANSI B92.2M - 37.5 deg, Fillet Root, Side Fit, 26 x 1.00 x 38 x 5H/5h" and change the Length to 38 mm.
3. In the Shaft Groove section I use Create new, and I push the Reference 1 button that turns blue, I then select the od feature from the model and I get an error(see attached pic "error1.jpg).

I changed the 26.9mm od to be 27mm and it still gave me the error.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Associative Hatch - Select Polyline As Well

Mar 20, 2012

My Computer just recently jusst got switched to a new server...

Somethings are just acting weird now, like my hatching...

All my old hatches that were associative are acting like one seltions like if i hatch a polyline now when i go to select that hatch it now selects the polyline as well.

This never happened before abd the only way to edit it now is to either make it in the properties not associative then i lose my boundary or just to explode it then i a ihave an exploded hatch...before i made it assoc. and i could just edit or select the hatch only i think its an option setting...

I'm using a block with thick polylines. When i copy it to another drawing the thickness does'nt show anymore, only the contours drawn in thin lines.

How do I get my wide polylines to show correctly? Is there a setting I should know about?

I'm attaching an image of the block the way it should look, and one of how it looks when I paste it in drawning no 2.

AutoCAD .NET :: Getting Polyline Data Into A Custom Derived Object (from Polyline)

Nov 11, 2013

I've been working on a custom polyline object, and I've got it functioning!!Having said that, I plan to run its creation around picking a point for bounary selection.

(Other than trying to step through every vertecies) is there a technique I can thow the polyline data from a traceboundary result into my custom object? I've been trying to add the polyline from traceboundary to my object BEFORE it's added to the transaction by the way...I assume that's right, since I want to put it's data in my custom object then add my custom object to the transaction instead.

AutoCad :: Automatic Join Polyline Onto Existing Polyline?

Sep 16, 2011

Is there any way at all to draw a new polyline - from the endpoint of another polyline, and have it automatically join as one polyline from the existing section??

I know this can be done via PEDIT, but its so laborious and soo many clicks, and I have alot of segmented Polylines that I need to consolidate when I draft.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Align Polyline Onto Another Polyline

Mar 22, 2012

Any way I can align a new polyline to a reference polyline (orig polyline).

The 2 polys will be generally the same length, however, the number of vertices will differ.

Also I need to mantain the same distance between the vertices on the new poly and the new and reference poly won't follow the same direction.

Photoshop :: Transform Applied To Smart Object Fails To Transform Attached Smart Filters Mask

Aug 9, 2012

Ps CS6
OSX 10.6.8
 
Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask.
 
I mean a Transform, including Free Transform, as found in the Edit menu.  A simple move by the Move Tool is OK.
 
A workaround until this bug is squashed is to encapsulate the Smart Object + Smart Filters + Filter Mask inside another Smart Object and transform that.However, that will not be a satisfactory solution in some cases. If a filter has size parameter(s), e.g. Gaussian Blur radius, a scaling or warping/distorting transform applied after the filter will obviously differ from the filter applied after the transform.
 
In any case, the workaround is inconvenient to subsequent editing and experimenting with filters and masks.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Select Polyline By Intersecting Polyline (select By Location)

Aug 10, 2012

I can do this in AutoCAD Map but I have my doubts. I will explain in ESRI GIS terms (this is what I am familiar with) and I hope you can tell me if I can do this in AutoCAD Map. In ESRI ArcMap I can select a line and I can hit a Select by Location button. In this window I can select all of the objects that intersect my selected line. Then I can delete them or export them etc.

In AutoCAD Map I have a polyline selected. It is my road centerline. I want to be able to select all of the other polylines that intersect my selected polyline. Is there a way to do this? I need to erase those polylines. Usually I will pan to each of them and select them individually. It just seems to take a lot of time.  My AutoCAD co-worker said I could use a fence and draw the fence through my polylines. It seemed to work ok but I accidently deleted extra things that I needed. So I'm back to manually selecting each one by one unless you know a different way.
