AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Best Fit Alignment From Parallel Linear Sets
Sep 21, 2012I am trying to create a best fit alignment from parallel linear sets of COGO points. When I run the command, about halfway through the data set the alignment suddenly curves out of away from the COGO points. I tried doing a best fit individually on each side, one side works fine, the other sets station zero about a quarter of the way into the points and runs it back toward the start, leaving out 3/4 of the points.

Oct 7, 2011I have a problem regarding linear dimensions on 3D blocks.
I create a set of 3D blocks and add linear dimensions to these in paperspace. When I want to edit a block the line origin of the linear dimension loses its original set point and I have to spend a lot of time changing the annotations in paperspace.
Am I using the wrong type of annotative dimensions or have I chosen the wrong angle to add dimensions to my blocks altogether?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Add To Linear (mm) Parameters?
Mar 15, 2013Creating User Parameters, can we use trigonometric functions? and can we add these to linear (mm) parameters?
Can we add the Values irrespective of Units i.e. Inch/ Deg/ Unitless
Example: d0 (In) = d1 (In) +d3[ul] + (sin(Variable_Angle))
In value = In Value + ul Value + deg Value

AutoCAD 2010 :: Interconnected Linear Parameters
Nov 12, 2012I have created a simple L-shaped dynamic block with a lookup table for its height and length. In addition to the ability to pick the right value pair using lookup table (HxW) I have added the ability to stretch the height or length using a stretch grip and a list of values. Is it possible to make the length automatically adjust to a corresponding value from the lookup table if the height is changed and vice versa?

Sep 2, 2013First i have to mention i am using a mac.
We are supposed to make a block (window for house) and in the windows version, apparently when entering BLOCK EDITOR - a tool palette comes up where you are able to choose "Linear Parameter" and then an arrow comes up where you can pull the arrows to each side.
MY PROBLEM: is that when i enter block editor this tool palette doesn't show, and i cant find where this linear parameter is.
AutoCad :: Store Linear Dimension Properties
Nov 23, 2012How I can get AutoCad to store my preferred "linear dimension" properties (i.e. arrow size, line weight etc).
Currently the standard setting are not what I use and every time I open a new drawing I have to go into amend a new linear properties and also any new linear dims I create has the standard settings.
I usually create one then "match" it's properties but it's still a bind creating the first one correctly.
AutoCad :: Polar And Linear Stretch Don't Work Together?
Jul 31, 2011Polar Stretch and Linear Stretch work properly independently, but when their "grip points" are overlayed and I'm trying to stretch the right side and stretch and rotate the bottom side of the drawing - Polar Stretch is screwing up.
The idea is to NOT to use them separately, but with one stroke having "grip points" overlayed all the time.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimension Linear Distance From Draw
Mar 21, 2012I'm using AUTOCAD 2011 x64 (E.208.0.0)I get the dimension linear tool;I specify the first extension line origin clicking somewhere;I specify the second extension line origin clicking somewhere; (ortho mode on)
Then I pull the mouse pointer to the direction I want the dimension go and I type 1, because I want the dimension lie down at a distance of 1 unit from the draw (a wall for example).
If I check the distance from the draw to the dimension line (not to the text) using de "Inquiry > Distance" tool I do not have that 1 unit I have typed, instead it retrieve a value like 0.9822, and this value varies on a random way, every time its different.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Linear Stretch Max Distance
Sep 28, 2013I have a linear stretch D1:
Distance Type: Increment
Dist Increment: 1
Dist Minimum: 1
Dist Maximum: unlimited
I also have a linear stretch D2:
Distance Type: Increment
Dist Increment: 1
Dist Minimum: 1
Dist Maximum: is it possible to set the maximum distance to equal D1-2.5??
Both linear stretch D1 and D2 can be stretched independently. So D1 may be stretched to 100, and D2 may be stretched to 50, but what I am trying to do is ensure that D2 will never stretch beyond the distance of D1.
AutoCad :: Multiple Stretch Boxes Per Linear Parameter
Jul 6, 2012If there was a way to have multiple stretch boxes when selecting one linear parameter.
I am currently working on 2D isometric drawings. I have lined up my views horizontally, so one stretch block is sufficient for stretching things vertically (I just drag the box over all my views), but I cannot find a way to efficiently stretch several views horizontally.
I was hoping that a solution to this will allow me to either select one grip and move at most 4 views horizontally, or just enter ONE value in the quick properties window.
The only idea I can think of now is to just make 4 linear dimensions, 4 grips, and have 4 quick properties inputs .

AutoCad :: Stretch Linear Grip To Change Length Of Rebar
Jul 12, 2012Attachment here.
I've got to create a dynamic block for Rebar, with symbols (which are blocks) at two end of the bar line can be changed scale follow annotation scale changes.
The problem is after I have stretch the linear grip to change the length of the rebar, if I change to another annotation scale, the sybol block auto jump to the original position, not at the ends of line as I expected. How to keep the symbols at ends?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Linear Parameter Stretch With Polar
May 6, 2013I am trying to be able to have my outreach arm stretch horizontally and on angles of 5 / 10 / 15 degrees from the pole. I have been able to make the polar stretch for this and it works fine though what i am trying to do is have the luminaire height also stretch and move when the size of the outreach changes (i can make the linear dimension work the way i want though not the luminaire parameter) as when you add the paremter into the stretch action is only moves the top and leaves the bottom at the same location which is not giving me the correct height.
The block itself is alot more complicated then this I have stripped most of the parameters out to make it less confusing but the end result would allow the user to input the outreach angle, outreach length and luminaire height. I have attached drawing for your reference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Dynamic Block - Rotate / Stretch Along A Linear Path
Nov 19, 2013I am trying to have a dynamic block that will show the profile of a steel plate, detailing the angle of a bevel. Including the plate thickness, the land, gap and the actual angle of the bevel. I've gotten most of it figured out, but having a grip to SET the angle at a specific number, while maintaining the drawing's integrity is proving difficult. I have attached the block I have created so far (minus the previous attempts to rotate the beveled angle).
BVL_detail.dwg
The base point of the rotate parameter should be at the junction of the bevel & land. I need it to stay connected to the end point of the top-most flat line as it rotates, which means the lines need to stretch to match the changing angle. It will either rotate that line along with it, or if I apply a stretch tool, it gets all disconnected and just plain wrong.
One of the things I am liking about my current set up is I can grab a grip, and then type the number I need and it will pop on into place. Was hoping for the same effect if I typed in the angle, it would be exactly that, while also adjusting the drawing.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing A Line Following Non-linear Imported Part
Jul 25, 2012I have a STEP file which is of a part similar to the rudder of a boat or an oar blade but twisted at the end, and I have to draw the split line to match the profile of the blade. I imagine I have to use a 3D sketch because of the twist and we are guessing that the split line will run down the apex of the blade, but I don't know how to get the 3D sketch to "stick" to the apex (there is no real apex as it's curved).

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Setting Distance Size Limit In Linear Dimensional Lock
Oct 21, 2011I have created an item made up of lines, circles and arcs. One side line distance will control all other sides, circles and arcs. I applied geometric constraints and then Dimensional constraints. D1 is the distance that will control all other objects. I have it working so that when I change D1, the sides adjust accordingly and the arcs and circles keep their geometry.
I was wondering if there is a way to add a range of distances for D1 so that if someone goes below the minimum value, nothing happens and if you go above the maximum value, nothing happens? I know if you make a block, you can make a list of distances for D1 to move. Is there a way to do this in the design drawing? Although, I don't just want a set range, I would like any distance between, say, 8 - 12 inches.
I tried to set some parameters in the Parameters Manager with no luck. Maybe there is an expression to use? Where would you find this expression if there is one?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Suppress Extension Lines For Radial Dimensions But Not For Linear
Sep 16, 2011I am using AutoCAD 2011. When I create a radius dimension on the inside of an arc, and I place the dimension beyond the center point of the arc, AutoCAD automatically draws an extension to the arc and points my radius dimension leader to the outside of this extension, rather than to the inside of the original arc.
I don't really like this. I prefer for my demension leader to point to the inside of the original arc. I can get exactly what I want by going into "Properties" for the radius dimension and turning the "Ext Line" property off.
Rather than having to do this every time, I'd like to create a dimension style that would give me this functionality all of the time. When I try to modify my dimension style, I see that there are just two parameters for Suppress Ext Line 1 and Suppress Ext Line 2. These seem to apply to both linear dimensions and radial dimensions. Is there anything I can do to suppress the extension line for radial dimensions only and not linear dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Linear Diametric Full Dimension Line Default Setting?
Apr 5, 2012Autodesk Inventor 2010 .idw Drawing Detail - Where is the default setting for "Full Dimension Line" so that I can set it to always be on when placing a linear diametric dimension? I would prefer to turn it off on the few occasions when dimensioning a diameter on a Detail View that does not include the center line rather than each and every diameter on a section view. This is necessary because a diameter symbol does not show up in the diameter dimension unless the full distance line it is selected, which is not always possible. I am aware of the Application Option setting that allows Linear Diametric as a preference, which becomes the default for all dimensions, and it is user specific rather than document specific.
