I have a strange problem with some featurelines in one of our projects. I have recorded the error because it is hard to describe. Below is the link to download the short video. I have tried running the audit and purge commands an no errors are reported.

I added three feature lines to my surface as breaklines. But the triangles still cross them. Triangles shouldn't be crossing breaklines.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was able to move Cogo points onto an existing line or polyline, and retain their existing Z value, rather than changing to 0.00 of the height of the poly line/line.
Is there a variable to change this? Thought it might be "OSNAPZ" but thats already set to 1 and this is still happening.
If the 2D layout is updated I need to move featurelines and gradings to the new locations without changing their Z values. It seems OSNAPZ is supposed to serve this purpose but it's not working for me. I have OSNAPZ=1 and ELEV=0 but when I snap a featureline vertex to the 2D linework the vertex ends up at elevation zero. How do I make this work?

Can you manually create a new cogo point and have it pick up the elevation from a 3D entity that you snap to?
I found this thread from 2010 that says no at that time.

Is this still not possible with C3D 2013?
I think this issue started with SP2. I don't remember having these issues in SP1 and earlier.
Create some COGO points at varying elevations.Start a new feature line.Use "node" object snap and pick your first cogo pointIt does not pick up the elevation of the point (it used to)Now draw feature line segments to a few more cogo points entering the elevation each time.It does not pick up the elevation of the point (it used to)Now switch to Arc mode and snap to a few more cogo points.It does correctly picks up the elevation of the cogo points (like it used to)R.K.

I populate the members of a (text) Paramter from an Excel file
i.e.
MyArrayList = GoExcel.CellValues.("MyExcelWB.xlsx", Sheet1", "A2","")
Now this list contains plenty of duplicates. Is there anyway inside iLogic to remove the duplicates.
Searched NG and did not find anything.
Given a list remove from list if both (nth 0) and (nth 5) are duplicates in list

I used to be able to snap to the end of the linework that form the visual end or intersection of walls while grip dragging a wall of one style to another. For example, using a wallstyle as a countertop, I'd be able to drag it to the corner of a room and use object snap to the intersection. In ACA 2012, the object snap defaults to the justification plane of the wall even if that's not where the intersection snap is desired.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to trace part of my point cloud, which has been aligned according to a new UCS I set. Drawing on the top down view, a poly line works fine out in the black ether or the model space, however when I attempt to trace over the point cloud it shoots way off in the distance.
My node snapping is turned off of course, but this only happens when I click over a part of the point cloud, as if it was snapping to the cloud and getting confused.
When I turn snapping off completely I can click anywhere I want and I'm fine. This suggests to me that it is a snapping issue, although I was under the assumption that "Node" was the only snap setting that related to point clouds.
I'm working out some bugs that have cropped up now that I've upgraded to 2011. For starters, I can't seem to be able to snap to existing dimension lines like I used to, even though I have almost all of my snap types activated.

I can't click on objects.. or draw from.. my mouse moves smoothly in every other application of my computer..just not in CAD workspace.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using education version of Autocad 2012 and have only around 2 gig of RAM. Whilst drawing , mainly in 3d my osnaps do not seem to work properly. In a lot of cases it is only the "nearest" snap that works. Sometimes I get no snaps when I think there should be plus I get a bunch of tiny green crosses around where I want to snap. Could my lack of RAM be causing this ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just developed a problem where I can only snap to the origin regardless of where my cursor is. I have tried snapping to midpoints, endpoints, centers, etc. it always selects the origin. I even tried to change the origin to a point I want to draw from, but it sends me right back to the original origin.
I made no changes in the software setup - it started when I opened an existing drawing, and now it affects any drawing I start or open.
I'm snapping to the corners of my multileader text boxes. OSNAPNODELEGACY is set to 1 and I'm not snapping to regular text or mtext. How can I change this behavior for the multileader text?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe detail an extensive amount of 3D solid entities using viewports in layout tabs. Most of detailing entities are in model space, things like dimensions, part callout, and other text entities that provide description as to what's going on in the viewport. Periodically, there is a need to create entities in paper space. Lets say for example, I'm zoomed out to the layout of the page setup, and I have a viewport with a lot of 3D solid entities. Still zoomed out now, I want to add an icon to the corner of the viewport. When I invoke the "endpoint" osnap to insert my icon at the viewport's, without zooming in, and try to pick a corner of the viewport, the icon gets inserted to an endpoint of an entity that's in model space. What a pain in the behind. The only real work-around is to zoom right into the corner of the viewport, which defeats the whole point of osnaps in the first place.
I remember this not being the case. Did AutoCAD introduce a variable and set it's default to something that I don't it to be, or is this a screw-up of AutoCAD?
I have several shapefiles that I have brought into a new autoCad drawing all with the same coordinate system. All display fine when zoomed out to the extents but when I zoom in the features disappear. The scaling is set to the default 0 to infinity onside of the styling so they should disappear like they are or like one would think if that was set to something else.
I also can not snap to these features while zoomed in either.
When I type PL for polyline and then END or MID or PER they don't work, but they do for lines? Any way to change this? When I manually type in any of these snap commands my OSNAP settings turn off.

I have a drawing that i am trying to add a hidden line to and when i pick my start point and then select my second point, the line will snap to the nearest corner instead of staying where i put it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn earlier releases of Acad, when Dimensioning, I could bring a new dim inline with an existing dim and the with using osnap align the new dim with the existing dim. With 2013, I can not get the osnap pick box to appear on the existing dim to be able to keep all my dims inline.

I am working in 2D sketch mod, I am basically drawing square boxes on one sketch (in black) and then on another sketch (in orange) drawing connecting lines.
Right now I am having to maually look to see the distance, but is there any way to line snap over 2 sketches?
On a side note, When a drawing is finished, is there any way to scale it up or down?
While using V2013, the middle button on the mouse to pop up the snap chart (mbuttonpan set to 0), I'm getting the zoom extents command in the middle of a command using snap from, then snap endpoint.
Here a quick example: while using hotkeys, I type c for copy-select objects-right click-choose basepoint, (here's where the problem occurs), middle mouse F(from) middle mouse E (endpoint). If I middle mouse F (snap From) pause then middle mouse E (snap endpoint) this works as it should. I click through the commands fast and it's slowing me down every time it zooms to extents in the middle of the command, which makes me zoom back in or cancel & undo.

So... Is it possible when drawing a line to snap to a 'grip'? I've got a drawing that has been converted from PDF to DWG and the wall outlines are gone. What is there is hatching that is the poche. That means I could re-trace the walls if I could snap to the outside grips of the solid hatching that is there.
I have just upgraded to 2013 from 2012. When dimensioning my viewports in paperspace, I will snap using the linear or aligned dimension and it will appear to snap to the first point, but when I snap on the other end, it will go somewhere way off the viewport or give me a "0" dim.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I installed 2010, I noticed that OSNAP seems to want to snap to objects in model space that are outside of the viewport while I am in paper space. It seems to only happen with polygonal viewports.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to draw a polyline, it feels like the snap mode is on and it takes forever to select my end point. It's almost as if it is lagging behind. I did not see this problem until I upgraded to 2012 last week. Going back to 2011, it seems to be doing the same thing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI know it is possible to precisely position an object in space and on top of another object by entering coordinates. However I prefer to work "relative" with snapping. I used to work with Rhino 5 in 3D. I liked the possibility to constrain the vertical movement of the object being moved. I could then place my object an the same height as an existing one by dragging the cursor over the desired part (notice the white line in enclosure 1). It's like an invisible (snapping) plane stopping the vertically moved object.
Is there a way to achieve the same thing with ease in Autocad by using snapping, ortho-mode, 3D-Move Gizmo or any other kind of technique. I managed to constrain the vertical movement with the Gizmo but I'm unable to achieve the desired effect mentioned above.

I found the "sort for visually similar" function in organizer(10) and it pretty much tanked. It grouped head shot photos with lake landscape, and a few rows down would be a duplicate head shot. So it is too restrictive and not restrictive enough at the same time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to LR 4.0 and the identify duplicate function does not appear to be identifing duplicates.
I was cleaning off cards and wanted to make sure all the photos had been added to the catalog when I realized that photos which have been imported, will reimport.
The "don't import suspected duplicates" box is checked. I verified one photo, _img_2597.cr2 , was both on the card and in the catalog. LR4 re-imported it - putting a duplicate in the catalog.
I then added some new photos to the catalog and then tried to re-load them: the detection of duplicates worked. It apears that photos from the 3.6 catalog are the issue.
I have:
rebooted the system
opened up a backup catalog
synchronize folders
All to no avail.
Is there a way to force Inventor to dimension without snapping to various Z heights within a drawing view? I have basic top and side views created however when trying to dimension overall lengths and widths i'm snapping to high and/or low points of the model and getting screwed dimensions.
