whe i try to draw a pline it accepts the first numerical entry but locks up on the second point. Also when i use this command no matter what layer it is on the line becomes very fat
autoCAD architecture 2013
Is there anyway to use LISP to list the x,y coordinates of a pline?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just started using Autocad 2010 (i know i know, its not the latest )... but anyways.
I am facing this unique problem where i have a 3d solid object in the drawing, and when the first point in a pline command falls within the boundary of the 3d solid, autocad automatically assigns some of the properties of the 3dsolid to the new polyline i draw.
so for example, in the attached file, even if i am selecting pline command and starting a command within the rectangle (start point shown as a circle), it automatically changes the z coordinates so that the resulting pline is angled to the xy plane.
I a not sure how this happens, and how I can turn it off.
Is there a way to add/remove vertices from polylines using the grips method similar to editing hatch boundaries? I know of "Pedit" and "edit vertex" then "add vertex" but this seems like too many steps after working with hatch boundaries.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use a pline to create an open ended wall. When I try to 'calculate automatically' by selecting a pline the width of the wall (2 components 8" wide total) the dialogue comes up and asks which component I want to apply the endcap to. I want to apply it to both, but don't seem to have that option.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have LWPOLYLINEs that represent a cross section of a train tunnel. Each LWPOLYLINE lists its 2D points in an Object Coordinate System.My task is to create 3D Polylines in WorldCoordinateSystem using those LWPOLYLINEs.I have posted a drawing with sample objects.
I have attached a sample drawing. Drawing was created with Civil 3D 2013, but I exporttoautocadr12dxf'd it and then save to 2004 dwg so most should be able to open it.
It dosent seem to matter if they are check or not in the status bar menu or in the profile settings.

I'm using AutoCAD Architecture 2012 for interior design. I need to rotate/move some materials, I know how to do it, but after mapping it, when I need to make any drawing modification, the mapped material resets to their default, and not ionly the modificated solid, but everything that I have mapped.
How do I save the mapping coordinates, to avoid the need to map everything everytime?
What is the best way to setup Plot Co-Ordinates that have a tag that updates as you move the co-ordinate point and also I would like to schedule these points in a table ..
for e.g. :
Plot A
_______________________
E 123456.789 N 123456.789
what I can do, to maintain project world coordinates at exact place when moving UCS and PLAN.
For ex.I have this project, In witch I'm making house plan on one of those plot, to draw in comfortable position I want to rotate view with UCS.
I type such command UCS/ OBJECT/ pick an object and ENTER, then PLAN/ CURENT and hit enter, now I have comfortable plan position to work with.
The problem of all this, is that when I redo all backwards, coordinates doesn’t correspond to previous places.
i am trying to translate a Point coordinates from Paperspce to world coordinates in model space.The code i used in Land2006 worked OK but now in Civil3d 2012 it doesn't!

I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

If not how can we convert the revit shared coordinates to real world projection coordinates?
I have terrible lag whenever I am drawing a polyline. It seems like it is taking forever to render the preview of the line when I am dragging the line across the screen. I would prefer to just turn off the line preview if at all possible. So far, I have not been able to find a way to do this. When I say preview of the line, I am talking about the transparent line that follows your cursor after you start a polyline and exists until you click to place the line where you want it.

Recieved a ACAD converted Microstation File for use in an upcoming construction project. Would like to convert all of the existing ellipses to polylines. Have read several threads that lead me to believe redrawing them is about the only real way to do it. Posting here in hopes of a solution. Drawing contains 127 ellipses, and I dont want to redraw all of them!!
Currently on C3D2012.
what I need to do is to flatten a spline into a pline because I need to measure its diameter.
I know how to it with a 2d spline but how can I manage in case I have a 3d one?
I'm using AutoCAD 2013 and it will not convert a p-line to revcloud .

I want to create a segmented polyline with known angles / lengths, but I want to do this in 1 operation without having to copy/rotate/chamfer etc.
I'm sure it has something to do with UCS, but I've not used it in quite some time, I am stumped and everything I have tried so far has failed.

what is the setting to tell a line to extend to the face of a pline when that line doesn't actually intersect with the pline? see image below...line 1 will extend to pline faces A and B, but how do i get line 2 to extend to those faces? i know this worked when i used autocad 2008 but i'm now using 2012 LT so hopefully it still works, i just don't remember the command name to control it.

I have bearings and distances but I am wondering if using PLIN is the best method to draw parcels in AutoCad Map 2012. I have a layer of the Townships, Ranges and Sections that I hope to align with the drawings. Most of the time it looks okay meaning they line up and for the most are where they are suppose to be but ever so often I have problems.
