how to drag and drop quantity takeoff criteria between civil 3d 2013 dwg files, but I can't seem to get it to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor a highway project rail overpass there are 30' curved retaining walls - the height changes continuously and the footing and wall thickness steps according to the CalTrans Type-1 wall stepping standard. So the subassembly is a custom object. I'd like to query the C3D community knowledge for the QTO accuracy - and find an answer to these two questions.
The retaining wall area QTO by corridor payitem code is 3,000 m2 and by volume report (sample line) is 5,500 m2; why is there a difference?The volume given by volume report (6,300 m3) is 40% more then the volume found by CalTrans and the contractor with a 2D digitizer QTO (4,000 m3) - who is correct C3D or CalTrans?
I am working on the QTO right now and I'd like to move to the schedule this week.
For some reason my drawing had created several duplicates of my grading critera. For example, my drawing has the following critera:
Cut to Surface
Cut to Surface.1
Cut to Surface.2
Cut to Surface.3
Cut to Surface.4
I did not create all these criteria, they just appeared one day. The problem is that I can't seem to be able to delete the duplicate ones. I get an error saying that the criteria "is currently in use, so it can not be deleted". I have deleted all the grading in my file and I still get this error. I have tried RECOVER and AUDIT several times with no luck.
How do i correct the veritical profile for a given vertical gradient of 1 in 150 of 1200 etc and so on.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI made a bunch of cross sections of an EG surface and want to define an elevation label at each significant grade break. I see an option to weed by distance but no option that would allow me to place a label at where the slope changes by more than a certain percent.
I found this old thread from three years ago and the best solution to come out of it was deleting individual labels.

How to compile quantities for cost estimating when the data is scattered across multiple files. Aside from generating quantities for each drawing in seperate .csv files etc., is there some way to pull the data from all the drawings at once into a single summary file?

I'm working on my systems which is implemented into building.
I have one project employee to draw and think about implementation of my devices. Human is not perfect and i want to improve work.
I have building level with a layer which represent all existing cable path. I can use it to install my bus.
I'm setting all sensors (personal block) on a second layer and data concentrator on third layer (personal block)
What i want and it's possible ?
-> I have data concentrator. Each data concentrator can manage 15 sensors.
Can i write a script or tool in autocad to draw automatically lines between sensors and dataconcentrator to have the lowest cable distance taking into account possible way on existing cable path ? I have criteria : All sensors need to be connected, lowest cable distance and 15 sensors needs to be connected to dataconcentrator.
How i can do this ?
I developed a program in VBA that used a form to allow users to create new dwg files based on selected criteria the vba program would then create and open the new dwg file and in the case of sheet files, it would populate title block attributes as well.
In vba, the forms focus was carried to the new file so the application would fill in the attributes, etc. as described above,
However in vb.net, I have not been able to get the form to recognize the new file. The program creates and opens the file, however the forms focus is still on the initial file so any actions to be applied to the new file are not carried out.
when I import PNEZD format .csv using import wizard the coordinates get transformed. all points are shifted about 20' in northing and 5 feet in easting. I have to use the import wizard w/ survey database in order to process linework codes.

keyword "state fair" and "2011" and "2012".since I have a "state fair" keyword with "2011" and "2012" as children.
In Bridge this is trivial since you can build criteria. How do I do this in LR? The only way I've been able to do this so far is to add a second keyword column to the library filter bar and fiddle around that way. It's pretty clumsy.
OR, for example, I want to see which 11x14 (or 14x11) images I have, that have NOT been used for a specific club competition..I'd want all the filenames that contain "11" AND "14" AND "x" and do NOT contain a keyword "xyz"
Since this one requires both keywords AND multiple pieces from the filename, I haven't figured out how to put this together in Lightroom.
I'm trying to change the value of the qty in the bom using ilogic with this expression
ThisBOM.OverrideQuantity("Model Data", "Steps", "QTY_STEPS")
but it gives me the following error
Conversion from string "QTY_STEPS" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
This seems like an unlikely omission but I cannot find it in the criteria list. "Date" only appears to deal with date, and that is where I would expect to find a capture time criteria. I have a need to separate two events in one day by their time of occurrence (E.g. before/after 2pm).
View 3 Replies View RelatedOur Autocad parts lists used to calculate the weight of parts times the quantities. Now we are using Inventor and I see that the weight shown on a parts list is the weight of an individual part - although the quantity could be 2 , 3 (more than one). Is there a way to have the total weight shown equal to MASS times ITEM QTY?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to control what the Base Quantity is in Document Settings using iLogic. I want to be able to use a form to change it to a parameter I have created.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've modified my offset quantity using GetOffsetCurves to be a negative number so as to ensure that my offset polyline is always inside the original but it is working erratically. Sometimes it is outside with a negative number and other times inside. I was thinking of testing the resulting Plines length to ensure that it is smaller (I realise there could possibly be morew than one but this would not happen in my case.)
Does this sound overly cumbersome? Would a rollback be necessary to "undo" the polyline if it is longer and therefore outside the original?
I would like to obtain, in a structured parts list, the total number of ITEM in the sub-assembly.
See the picture attached for the example.
I have found an iLogic rule to create an user ipropertie in each part, with the total nomber of this part in all the assemby (included all sub-assemblies).
I would like to know if it is possible to obtain the total of this part only in the sub-assembly. Is it possible with an iLogic rule or VBA ?
I am having a bit of trouble with my "Parts List". What I want to be able to do is show the top level assembly quantity in my part drawing. From our fabricators point of view it would be eisier if they could open/pick up a part drawing and see the total quantity needed to be produced before looking at any assembly drawings. So they could produce all individual parts then grab what they need to produce sub-assemblies. I would like to do the same for my subassembly "Part list" where I would show the total need to produce my final assembly.
So far I can only show my quantity as 1 in the parts list for a single part or subassembly, or use a static value and add the quantity by hand which can change through our design/re-design process, not to mention be extremely time consuming.
I have a piece of steel from the content centre 165mm long. The balloon (stacked format) quantity reads 165.000mm. I've had to format the parts list to get rid of the decimal places but I can't find a way of getting rid of them in the balloon. Any format setting somewhere?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I have a component from the content library have its 'BASE QUANTITY' default to 'EACH' when I bring it into my assembly? Each time I have to reset this to 'EACH' when inserted into my assembly.
This happens in either frame generator or just placing from content center.
I've attached a sample part & drawing of a hollow cylinder with 6 equally spaced radial holes drilled around it.
If you change the depth of the hole you will get a different quantity of holes in the drawing hole note.
I get a hole note quantity of 6 holes which is correct if I set the hole depth to 1". Change the hole depth to 2" and the hole note quantity shown changes to 5. Change the hole depth to 3" and the hole note quantity changes to 4.
I often draw bushings with radial holes like this and have to take care to not let this behavior create a wrong drawing.
Using Inventor 11...How do I change change the balloon (item 40) to read qty of 2? There are 4 total in the assembly, but this particular balloon only shows where 2 are, and another item 40 balloon will show where the other 2 are.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIm trying to generate a list of parts and assemblies that has all the quantities included in it.Ive found that if i use the structured view it does not multiply the part count by the number of assemblies, so if i export the bill of materials i wont get the actual number of parts that i require.
If i use the parts only list then it wont include the sub assemblies.the job that im working on has hundreds of sub assemblies and thousands of parts so manually adding them up is not an option.Using Inventor 2014 Pro.

I need to change the Base Quantity of family templates in CC from GL = ... to Each. (I know there are several different qty, but I need this to Each because of ERP-system).
I use open from CC and place a tube in an iam, and changing BOM-settings to Each on that tube. Then I replace template in the family in CC editor with this file. And everything seems OK.
When I use "Place from CC" and place a tube from this family, everything is in perfect order. The ipt has Base Quantity set to Each just like I wanted.
I use Frame Generator and insert tubes from this family, then the Base Quantity "bounce" back from Each of GL = ...
I need this to work also in Frame Generator.
My customer is having trouble with the part list feature inside the Inventor 2D drawing.
For example, He has a car assembly file with 4 wheels and alot more subassemblies, then he creates a view representation which only visible for 1 wheel.
When he generates the part list in Inventor 2D drawing, he go to part list >filter setting and set to ‘’Assembly view representation’’ but the quantity for the part list is still showing as 4 as per attachment.
change the value manually inside the part list table?
See attached file.

We have close to 11k of CDR files that we need to convert into PDF files because a great number of these CDR files have multiple pages in them. I'd like to be able to do this as a batch process.
I've tried this product called FoxPDF CDR to PDF converter, but it doesn't work. All it does is convert it to a PDF file, but inside the file there is nothing but a very large red pixelated shape in every single PDF file it creates. I've tried it on about 20 CDR files.

I couldn't seem to find a macro that can batch convert CDR to PDF on [URL].....
Any great way to do this on a large number of files?
