AutoCAD Architecture :: Using Divide And Measure Buttons?
Mar 24, 2011
When dividing, say, an arc into 4 equal parts. The point showing up on the object are so small, I can't see them! How can I change the tiny dot to a "x" or "=" or anything that I read?
Any command or lisp that will do new pollyline between two polyline on 1/3 or 1/4 space between them.
I need something that would be faster, use measure on pollilines then i draw between horizontall polylines on verteks or point new pollyline and ther divide it on 4 or 3 parts.
Is it possible to divide a polyline into multiple segments with a certain interval?I am looking for something similar to "Measure" command.But I want to do this programmatically.
SendStringToExcute("measure ");
I need the point objects created by "measure' command in order to draw a new polyine with them.Of course, "SendStringToExcute" does not return such object collection.If you could provide me with C# (or .NET ObjectARX 2010) code snippet.
For once I have to place many asymetric objects uniformly with Alignment along a convex circular arc (2D). So I try Measure or Divide using my Block but it flips my Block so it is aligned with the inside of the curve (closest to the curve centre) not the outside and the blocks are turned upside down. If I draw an arc concave up it plots OK. If I draw a Spline (single curve or reverse curve (S curve) in my desired orientation, it also plots OK.
I have tried all combinations of UCS but to no avail. The block is not dynamic so there has not been any Alignment set.
do you know command or lisp that will do new pollyline between two polyline on 1/3 or 1/4 space between them.
I need sommething that would be faster,know is use measure on pollilines then i draw between horizontall polylines on verteks or point new pollyline and then divide it on 4 or 3 parts.
How to use the divide and measure command , and also I knew how to change the point style. But after I used the divide command to split my object into 5 parties. I can not click the point I created.
For a instance I have a 10 meters line and I used the divide command to divide it into 5 parties, and so I have 4 points. But if i want to draw some thing on the new point my mouse could not click it.

I cant do what the guy did in the video. when I move my mouse on those points I created I could not connect a line on the point like the guy did.
I need to divide irregular shapes into equal parts. For example, the attached shape needs to be divided into 10 equal parts. Parametres could be set such as all dividing lines are horizontal.
I need to do this in autocad (2013) if possible.
The closest discussion I found on this was at [URL] ......
Architecture 2009 running on Windows 7. Dell Precision T5400 with a Quadro FX570 graphics card.
I have lately been having some issues with text in Architecture 2009. I first noticed that within Mtext, when you hit the "UPPERCASE" or "lowercase" buttons, the text disappears in the editor, and no changes are made. Not the end of the world, but not handy.
Then it stopped letting me type in Mtext boxes at all. The return key seemed to work, but nothing else. Then it started converting text typed into Mtext boxes into (I think) Chinese characters. Really not handy. At this point I decided to try to reinstall. First I tried a repair, then reinstalled over the existing installation, then uninstalled completely and reinstalled from the disk. I've also done a windows restore, though as this has slowly been falling apart, I'm not sure when I should restore back to.
I have Mtext basic functionality back, but the "UPPERCASE" and "lowercase" buttons still make the text disappear.
Not sure if it's related, but I also get a Fatal Error e06d7363h at 758bd36fh about 4 or 5 times a day. Usually it's associated with the open command (ctrl+o), but sometimes it just happens at random.
Best way to divide a DWG file into sections? I`m trying to building a data base for construction work to build houses on a city, and the database call for a map that came from a gps device, that is on DWG format. now this image is full of squares that represent the new house locations, the problem is that is one whole image representing the whole city, I was wondering if there is a way to divide this image into sectors to represent the houses location when i do a printout.
i want to divide a helix into number of segments...for this i used divide command..but its not working..what shall i do to divide the helix..no of segments or length of segment is not important.

I need to divide thousands of lines into half, but AutoCAD divide command can only allow you to select one line at a time.Is there any way we can divide multiple lines at once.
My work requires me to create programs for our CNC router. It is done in AutoCAD 2008. To making programs faster I've created series of dynamic blocks. I am attaching a file with one of those blocks.
The file is actually illustrating what I need to do number of times a day. I would like to make the process even faster and more fool-proof. The "old way" in file shows what my current way of creating programs. The "new way" is my attempt to make it faster.
My problem is automatically dividing a line in dynamic block into a variable number of segments that are always equal. Naturally I use divide command after I stretch and explode my dynamic block. It would be much faster if the block would be able to do it all by itself.
My attempt of solving this was to use Visibility Parameter. However, if you look closely at it, you'll notice that if I want to do it for all the possible combinations it will be extremely complicated and easy to mess up. If only there was a way to have two visibility parameters. Then I'd make one for horizontal holes and another for vertical. Unfortunately I can't.
How to accomplish this? LISP, maybe? Unfortunately, I don't know LISP.
I need to divide a big region on lines intersections. imagine that you create a region around a chess table and break the region so you get each square as a new region.
I can't use array because the sub-regions aren't regular. I need this divided regions to export a DXF file to a Finite elements program.
I have little Autolisp experience, what I need is a lisp routine that will divide a 3D Poly line to say about 1000 points and add index to the points from the start of the line to the end of the line. It is very important that the index be from the start to the end of the line, because we extract the info to excel and then use the x,y and z co-ordinate of the points on our hydraulic analysis program. We need to have the index and the x, y and z co-ordinates on our Excel sheet sorted by index and not by x, y and z.
To be more clear the 3D poly is a pipeline profile so we need to have the points in order by index and not by x, y and z.
I need a function that will allow me to do a "divide" with blocks but I need the single attribute to remain intact.
I need the blocks to align with object and keep the attribute. I did get it to work with constants but the function that I need to run next failed because of the constant. My variable is preset and locked.

I have a multi-body part and want to find the both faces which divide the bodys. The first face I pick with the "SelectSet" command.The second one the program should find on its own.
If I pick a boundary face, it should give an error.
One attempt is to create a point on the first face and use the "LocateUsingPoint". But is there a more elegant way for this task?
(Unfortunately there are little examples of the topic multi-body parts.)
I need a easy way to create a lot of small regions, or divide a big region in lines intersections, or a fast way to pick points inside objects.
Its like that:
imagine that you do 100 horizontal lines and then 100 vertical lines. Now you have 10.000 squares. i need a fast way to make a region in each one of then.
So its too much trouble to pick points inside each one of then. i need to divide a big region or a fast way to create Plines or objects with the little squares. And i cant use array because they aren t regular squares.
Its something that i do often, its not a one time thing. This is necessary in structure analysis modeling, i export this dwg to a dxf file, that i use on a finite element program.
I have to put some trusts between two beam. It sounds easy but i'm unable to handle the divide and round off commands in the lisp. See attachement also.
To draw my trust between the 2 beams, what I normally do, is that I manually take the distance between the two points say it's 10 000 and wrote it down. Then I divide it by my max gap, say 1200, it is the max space between trust.
10 000/1200 = 8.333333 that's the result of how much trust and space between them that i'll need, 8 trusts, 9 spaces between the 2 beams. (That is what I'm unable to do in the lisp, tell it to round off 8.333 to 9 and use 9 for divide command)
What I manually do at this point to draw these trust is that I must create a temporarly line between the 2 beams, perpendicularly to these and divide it by 9.
It gives me 8 cross (or point) to draw my trusts. All this is long to do manually because I have many bay in building and I have to redo this operation for every the bay.
So, what I would like the lisp to ask is:
Specify distance between two beams (Between where and where) :
Specify the lenght of the trust :
Specify max gap: I would like to answer a number here, say like 1200 max
(The lisp should draw the lines on the current layer, color and linetype of the current layer and not draw a line at the beginning and at the end because that's where my Beams are. I hoped you understand, see attachement.
Should also have something that handle a ESCAPE hit or cancel, something like this:
