AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Layer Group Filters For Layer Translation (LAYTRANS)?

Oct 2, 2013

A drawing with hundreds of layers should be simplified for our customer by decreasing the numbers of and renaming the layers (there is yet no target file existing). In order to solve this, I generated group filters and assigned every single layer to them (all printing properties are assigned to objects). The layer groups show the desired layer structure after the transformation (still a three-digit number).

Unfortunately, the LAYTRANS dialog doesn't let me choose layers by group filters or remarks. It seems as all the work was for the birds.

Is there any way to translate my layers using filters or remarks?

I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.

AutoCAD LT :: Bring Everything On Layer To The Front?

Jul 20, 2012

I have tried turning off all the other layers, selecting everything visible, invoking DRAWORDER, and selecting "front", but when I turn the other layers back on, some of them are still in front of what I want to be visible. It's a big document with a bazillion objects and 20+ layers; going through and selecting every one of them individually could take hours.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Field To Display Object Description

Dec 5, 2013

I have recently started using FIELDS in our drawings. I must say, they are very powerful.

This is what I would like to accomplish but have not been able to do it on my own.

I want to be able to add text/description to a block, then invoke that text/description with a leader. For instance, if I have a block of a 6x6 post w/ a square, I want to be able to insert the block, do a leader and invoke the custom description "P.T. 6x6 POST W/ CONC. FOOTING"

Mudbox :: How To Bring Image Into Paint Layer

Jan 23, 2012

It try bring an image into paint layer. I found that there is this function:

PaintLayerImporter() and it takes 4 parameters. They are:

1) const QString &sFileName, ///< Name of the file to import
2) int iFileTypeIndex, < Index of the type of the file in the array returned by SupportedExtensions

3) Mesh *pMesh, ///< Mesh which contains the paint layer
4) TexturePool *pTarget ///< Destination of the import operation

But I'm not able to get this function to work. Any small example how to use it.

I think that main problem for me is that I don't know exactly what 2) parameter means(int iFileTypeIndex). It says that you get that from SupportedExtensions but When I look at it:

virtual QVector<FileExtension> SupportedExtensions( void );

It surely dosen't look int.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer Name And Description As Text In The Drawing?

Nov 14, 2013

is it possible to make a LISP program whcih write down my layer name and description as text or Mtext in the drawing, so it will look like:

A_Wall architecture wall

A_Column architecture column

something like that.Each text, which is written in the drawing should have the same layer like the layer name.

the closest i can get is this code below, which write the layer as text, but what missing is: i want to add the description behind the layer name:

(defun c:layerlegend (/ osm ortho clayer celtype cecolor start-point line-length text-height *error*)
(defun *error* (msg)
(setvar "osmode" osm)
(setvar "orthomode" ortho)
(setvar "clayer" clayer)
(setvar "celtype" celtype)
(setvar "cecolor" cecolor)
(princ msg)
)

[code]...

Photoshop :: Layers And Layer Comps Disappear In Palette But Can Bring Them Back

May 1, 2012

A lot of times I'll be working on multiple .psd files and as I'm moving between files I'll notice that all the layers & layer comps will disappear from their palette

[URL]
 
I can bring them back by doing something like clicking on the text tool and then clicking on a text item on the stage. It's annoying because it takes a couple of clicks for the palette(s) to redisplay.
 
Is this a bug or is there a setting in preferences that can control this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Raw description Not Within Description Key

Oct 21, 2011

we are updating fron LDD 2004 to Civil 3D 2012 needles to say it a huge change. I've got my template almost done I'm just having one problem. With LDD any point that came in with a raw descripitoin not within the description key it would be placed in the current layer with point number, descripton and elevation. How do I make that happen with Civil3D do I have to change my default lable settings? When I import points with a raw description not within my description key it places the point on Layer 0 and only shows the node no point number.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Replace All References Of Layer To Other Layer?

Sep 26, 2012

I need to find all instances, references, etc, of a layer and change it to another layer. I'm not talking about lines and objects or even blocks, but more like properties nested inside of wall styles and cleanup definitions, anything like that. I can't use the QSELECT or any similar command because the layer in question is being referenced inside of individual styles (i'm guessing that's the only place). 

We drew our interior walls and our exterior shell for our building on two different drawings so that two people could work on them at the same time. They were xref'd into each other. We got to a point where we needed to put them back into one drawing so I binded the Shell Xref into the interior drawing. This saved us a lot of time but now all the layers from the Shell drawing have this prefix to it "01Shell&0&". This isn't really a problem but I'm a bit OCD and it bothers me to have two different layers for the same thing, one regular and one with the prefix. It means everytime we change the properties of a layer, we have to do it twice. I've already changed everything I could back to the original layers but the Shell layers still show up from time to time. They are nested deep inside of wall styles and custom cleanup properties, custom encaps, and so on.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Description Key Layer Set To No Values After Values Set?

Is there a way to have no layer value set for the description keys. I set all the layers, and now I realize I'd rather set this to no layers (boxes are all unchecked). I'd rather see no value under the layer column, but there doesn't seem like a way to set this.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Templates For Step Translation

Oct 27, 2011

We have a minor issue with STEP translations.  We keep our templates on the network, and they have a lot of customized settings.  Everything is fine until we try to translate a STEP file, then Inventor wants to use the templates on the "C" drive (the ones that came with the software). 

Is there a setting I can use to make Inventor use the templates on the network?  I've got my "Files" setting in the "Options" pointing to the templates on the network, but Inventor still uses the ones on the "C" drive.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Model Of Translation Piece

Dec 5, 2013

I am trying to model simple translation piece from rectangular to circle (one quarter). There is angle between rectangular side and circle side. I am able to model it very simple, but I have found that Inventor make some errors with lofted flange. Usually this type of translation piece should have flat triangles on the ends and bended triangles in corner. Unfortunately for some combinations of width/depth/diameter Inventor does not keep this rule and add some bended triangle to end edge.

Enclosed is pdf file with picture how this part should look, what is the problem and finally the ipt file is enclosed too. The part is OK with parameter SizeY=250mm and less and is wrong for bigger SizeY (for example 600mm)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotation - Translation Constraint On Threaded Features

how to make this Clamp Rod to Clamp Base Spacer Turn relationship.

this is from the Clamp Project on this site: Inventor Wizard,  The Clamp Lever is turning or rotating the clamp rod into the Clamp Base Spacer  but I could not simulate the Thread or the Screw motion if that is the term, or the 1 or 1/2 turn of the Clamp Rod to 1 Pitch movement,  plus I can't seem to put the Rod inside the Clamp Base Spacer hole when the Contact Solver is ON, maybe modeling issue on my part.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Translation And Rotation / Surveyors Are Staking With A DXF File

Sep 27, 2013

Pt# 812 (From my drawing)
N: 2004294.63
E: 6057287.18

Pt# 715 (Stake point from a DXF file)
N: 254.39
E: 218.59

I built my drawing from the civils. I wanted to check the points that the surveyors are staking with a DXF file. As you can see from the above two points, our coordinates were wildly different. I brought the DXF file into my drawing as a block, and translated and rotated it to match my drawing. I had to drag it several miles, but no problem there.I imported the as-staked point file to a new group and dragged them up near my drawing, but the drawing was getting a bit crowded by then. So I made a block of all the imported points to make it easier to translate and rotate them to match my drawing and the overlayed DXF. After exploding the block of points, the points showed up in the new group. Anyhow, here's my questions:

1. How do you renumber(offset number) imported points? The option I saw was only for duplicate points. I wanted to offset them all.

2. How do you translate and rotate a large bunch of points without turning them into a block?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rotation Translation - Get Circumference Of Wheel To Rotate 360 Degrees

Dec 23, 2013

I have Autodesk inventor standard NOT the pro version. I am a Revit professional in dire need of learning Inventor. My exact steps are as follows:

1. Open assembly
2. create component - (simple wheel(cylinder) with an off axis hole in the middle so I can see if it is rotating.)
3. create component- flat surface.
4. constrain the cylinder to the flat surface via a tangent constraint
5. constrain the cylinder to the front edge of the flat surface via a mate constraint.
6. go to motion tab in constraint's, click rotation-translation, type in 10in for distance.
7.wheel does not rotate on surface like a wheel should. There is no affect of the surface on the wheel rotation.

In other words I want to get the circumference of the wheel to rotate 360 degrees as it travels pi*diameter of flat surface.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Layer Preview Box

Aug 19, 2011

When I hover the cursor / pickbox over a line, in about 1 second a small box (approx. 1" x 1" on the screen) pops open immediately next to the cursor - which lists the Color, Layer and Linetype of the line.  As you move the cursor around the screen, these little boxes are constantly popping open - which is very distracting.  How do you turn off this feature?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Layer Management From Imported DXF?

Oct 19, 2011

I'm importing dxf files from the structural engineering program RAM Structural Systems where my buddy down the hall is modeling beams/columns/ etc in 3d.  Importing is not a problem but I would like to know if there is someway to map the layers from his dxf to come in on my layers in cad instead of having to go through and select each object and place in on my desired layer.  RAM does use layers for each member.  For example :

when he models a beam in RAM its on an SBM layer.  Is there a way I can make that SBM layer come in on my S-Beam layer that I have setup in cad?

In short I'm trying to find a way to not have to go through each dxf he emails me and place things on the layers I want them on in cad.  I was curious if there was a way I could make cad recognize.  SBM layer will be mapped to my layer S-Beam when imported.
