I would like to use the behaviour of  "drag and drop" into AutoCad (from a listbox in a form) at a specific point, I do not need to drop anything into AutoCad, I just need the exact point of the mouseposition converted to WCS in autocad.
the below code works, but i do not get the correct point in AutoCad.
Private Sub ListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseDownDim ed As Editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor '---now i drop listbox-text in autocad, DoDragDrop(ListBox1.Text, DragDropEffects.Copy)Dim pt As Point3d = ed.PointToWorld(New Point(CInt(MousePosition.X), CInt(MousePosition.Y)))'---draw circleModelspaceAdd(Teken.Cirkel(pt(0), pt(1), 100))End Sub

(Maybe it is possible to just change the mouse-cursor, but it doesn't 'lock' the selected item in the listbox, as if it was dragged into the drawing.)
I have a 3d Drawing with very detailed light source descriptions. Is there any way I can measure a light intensity (in lux) in a specific point of my drawing?

How do I draw perpendicular from a line or object at a specific point? I know by holding shift and osnap perpendicular I can draw the line but I can not osnap to the exact point!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.
1> Any lisp routine that does what I describe?
or
2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?
How do I configure AutoCAD 2010 to point to a specific folder for the plot styles (ie. *.ctb files)?

How do i get the 3d poly line to snap to my points so I can Connect them? someone mentioned using a feature line to connect the points but im not sure how or what that would do.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database of points I am trying to import, and the point data for each point includes a hyperlink. I've created a set of custom User-Defined Property Classifications for all the data types in the point database, and I've created a point file format to use to import the points.Â
It's a database of existing curb ramps, the data includes things like widths, slopes, some text, and a hyperlink to the Google Streetview at each ramp. I've created a custom point label that will show the data I need to see at each ramp.
All goes great except that the import fails because of the hyperlinks. I've tested it by removing the hyperlinks from a small test portion of the data set, and the test points are then successfully imported. I suppose I can delete the hyperlinks from the entire database, but if there is a way to include the hyperlinks in the point import I would prefer that.

In uploading the Point input data into  the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 software program, is it possible for me to add more Point Attribute items after Point Number, X, Y, Z? I need to have the chemical results/data attached to the (sampling) Point that has the Point #, X, Y, Z - like Point Number, X, Y, Z, Arsenic, Lead, Mercury in the input .txt (or .csv) file.Â
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow to set a default point style for point groups? Whenever I import survey points, I always put them into their own point group, so I can display each day's worth of survey data differently. For some reason, the point style always defaults to a certain style (our control point symbol). I'd like it to default to Basic, so I don't have to change this every time. Is it a template drawing setting somewhere?

 When I list the points they are way off?

Is there a 'property' to use the Point Group Name. I need it in the Point Table Style: Title text like this:
I need to move areas of an image that I have selected using the unit of points. For example, I get corrections in our copy where I need to move certain parts of the image 8 points up or over 3 points.
I can use the measurement tool to meausure the distance but then it disappears when I try to actually move the selection. The same thing happens when I try to use guides to mark the area. I wish I could just set Photoshop to "nudge" in points instead of pixels. Is there any way to make this easier? (Photoshop CS4 version 11)
I am trying to get point 1234 to show a label that says Point #1234 and then in a grading plan have that same point show up as a spot elevation. I have tried making two point groups "Point #" and "Spot Grades" which include the same points in them with two different label styles for each group, however the point seems to only want to take one label style at a time.

I have made a 3D model of a frame for my work; when I try to add in the dimensions I cannot find the dimension between for example one horizontal line (in front view) and one vertical line. And sometimes when I manage to click on the two lines, it says "the lines are parallel".
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Illustrator CS5 my anchor point handles are snapping to specific angles,which I don't want. I have to turn off Smart Guides to freely adjust the handles.
Â
Under preferences, Smart Guides, I turned off the custom construction guides, but even this did not correct the issue. I love using Smart Guides and I thought there were just in face that 'guides' and provided no snapping.

I also tried turning off 'snapping to point' to see if that was creating an issue, but no dice.

I am having some difficulty figuring out how to get the extents to a civil 3d label object. I want to be able to select a label, and draw a custom polyline around it (in dragged state) and draw a leader or multiple leaders from that new polyline. I just can't seem to figure out how to get at the label data itself.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI went out with our GPS and shot each of our stock piles we have in our yard (recycle asphalt, 3/4" gravel, 1" gravel, etc.), and now I want to figure out how much of each pile we have
So what I did was create a seperate surface for each pile, then I created a volume surface for each as well and just set the base and compare surface as the existing, that wat was I can get the total sq ft of each pile, but now I want to figure out how much yards of material are in each pile
Would I need to set up a materials list for each on to calc how much are in each pile according to what type of material they are?

I have opened a drawing created by someone else and see that it is loaded with data shortcuts and they all seem to be working properly and displaying fine. The problem is that I would like to add some more shortcuts to the project yet I cannot find the folder where they are located on our server. I have opened up source drawings for every one of them and there are no data shortcut folders located in the same path as the source drawings nor in my project file. They have been stored miscellaneously somewhere on my server. I have tried searching by name (*.xml) for the data shortcuts on my server but the names are too generic and I get to many hits to locate the one I need. Is there any way to list a data reference and the program tell you the folder where it is getting it from?
we got cad files from an older survey done for a realtor. Everything was in pretty bad shape, with blocks everywhere. Since then the drawings have been cleaned up significantly. But I am having issues with two line types referencing a .shx file we don't have. The line types will not come out in a purge or manual delete efforts. I tried to do a filter by linetype but it continues to feed back 0 selected. I am wondering if the line types are used in a block definition that isn't drawn anywhere on the screen.
Is there a way to determine what linetypes are used in what blocks? Ultimately once the lines that use the two linetypes are located they will be changed to a different one and purged out of the drawing.
I am trying to find out if it is possible to start/load the animation based on a specific point in its timeline? The animation I am creating is a parallax animation based on mouse position and I am trying to load it in the middle of the animation and based on the users mouse position will play forward or backwards from that point.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a need to find the lowest elevation inside of a small rectangular polygon (6'x7'), then assign the polygon to that elevation. This is fairly easily done manually with feature lines, however I need to repeat the operation about 3,000 times to create a design grid (therefore, not obliged to using all of the design budget to do so).
I employed the GIS department to run the analysis, which they can do, however they can't rotate the DEM grid output to match my project because it doesn't run parallel to north/south, thus skewing the results.
where I can download standard USGS hatch patterns for identifying differnet strata in geologic columns. Â I know the USGS has standard patterns for specific strata and I was looking for a .pat file that has them all in it.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a surface setting / style option where contour labels (elevations) will display at some specified interval as part of the surface rather than going through and adding them as labels afterwards?  Seems like a rudimentary operation, where the labeling can be so scattered and random.
