AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Zero To Show On Angular Dimension For Seconds
Jan 17, 2013How do i get the leading zero to show on an angular dimension for the seconds? as in: 108d 36' 03" ?

View 1 RepliesCannot find a way to set up angular dimensions to show that first zero if the minutes or seconds value is less than ten.
Desired: <degrees>08'05"
Stuck with: <degrees>8'5"
is there any way I can place dimension on drawing that would be in dual units (in decimal degrees and in deg min sec)?
I did not find this possible so far.
I have a block of a guide sign with directions and azimuth angles. I made arrows rotatable and angles were changing ok. But when I try to rotate an arrow into zero position, dimension shows 180. I need the dimension to show 0 degree. How can I do it?
And I can’t make angular dimension show degrees greater than 180 even if I specify vertex – after rotation angle shifts on the other side. I gave up and used back azimuth.
And I can't make an attachment: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type"?
why after selecting Dimension, Angular, then selecting two lines, I do not get the angle between them? I am using v 2000 if it matters. I enclose a screen shot of the two lines I need the angle of.

Is there any way possible to have an angular dimension to denote an angle of greater than 180 degrees?

Typically, it depends on how it is put into the ipt file but I didn't know how else to put the slot in therefore only a point was put in at that angle.

the freeze is rondom. it can be triggered by commands, escape button, panning arround the drawing. The problem occurs periodically for say 1 day every few days autocad will have pauses. But other days its fast with no problems.
i have tried all the usual things for slow down. purge, audit, layerdlgmode. I do not think it is general slow down.
I am trying to create a lisp file to automate the placing of angular dimensions at all of the vertex's along a very long polyline. There are 500-600 nodes at least and we need the angle between the incoming and outgoing lines at every node.
Is there a way to automate this with a lisp file, or am i relegated to clicking 1800 times and waste 3-4 hours doing this?
We get these files quite often and this will be a huge benefit to us.

As stated it takes about 75 seconds. It will move to where I drag it immediately but then the program is unresponsive for a minute and 15 seconds.
In the past 4 days I've repaired C3D, tried 4 or 5 different versions of the display driver and did a windows update. A lot of commands, specifically Civil 3D commands, are very slow. Does this ring any bells?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy are annotative dimension always placed in model space to the created height regardless of the annotation scale I use. using annotation 1:1 or 1:10 or 1:50 my dimension is always inserted to the dimstyle hight of 3.5mm (about 1/8") and not 3.5 x annoscale example 10 = 35mm.
When dimensions are placed using an anno scale of 1:1 and than change the anno scale to 1:10 the dimensions and dim arrows ect are scaled to the correct size 10x value preset in the dimsyle. My text style is non associative and set to 0.0 height.
The only way i can place dimensions to the preferred height is linked to the anno scale is by setting the text style height 3.5 (about 1/8"). but the problem here is that the dim text height will be displayed to selected annotation scale of 1:10 but the dim arrows etx are not to size. I know that setting the text style hight is not the correct way and see why.
All my dimension styles are annotative and and have the ANNOAUTOSCALE set to 1. I have also tried by presetting the object anno scale to the preferred annotations.
I have to deal with the plans of others, some who change the dimensions through text formatting that I can see are fake or incorrect. I used to have a command that would detect the ACTUAL dimension but I can't seem to find it in ACAD 2010. find the command to restore the true dimensions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to use the same dimension parameter as a previous component pattern to create a new component pattern. Is there a way to be able to do this? On features, you can use the Show Dimension and then select the dimension you want. With rectangular patterns I don't see a way to do this and there is no way to even note which parameter it gave it as it is being created. I guess I could name the parameter on the fly and then use that same name, but was wondering if there was a different way.

I'm trying to get everyone on the right page, but I can't find any reference to how to properly show a dimnesion that spans across 2 different drawings (with use of a matchline or on a piping isometric that is split). Would either of these examples be the correct way to show a dimension that spans 2 drawing files? Is there a different way to show a dimension that is to span 2 drawings?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with a detail, I want to hide dimension from the big view port and show it in the detail as you can see in the picture:
I use Annotative dimension.
This is the first I've noticed this, but a sketch in an assembly does not allow to show the dimensions as an expression? In a .ipt sketch you can right click and the pop-up menu has an option to show the dimensions in different forms. I do not get this in an assembly sketch.
I do not know if this is me or not. It's just curious that it does not do that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble displaying the units for dimensions. The issue is with the suffix.
When I add the " suffix to indicate inches autocad also adds the suffix to the angular dimension.
2 questions...
Is there a way to suppress the suffix for angular dimensions? Do I need to have a dimension style just for angular dimension?
I do not want to dimension in architectural because I don't want the dimensions to change to feet and inches.
Is it possible to have text below the angular dimension line like you can with most other dimensions. The attached pic shows my 10 dimension with the type. Under the line and my 30 dimension with type. Under the line but the type. Under the 30 is just a text box I eye-balled in to place it is not attached to the dimension. I looked in the styles editor but could not find the setup option I need.

A simple example is described here: The screen shot shows a long rigid body (left) mounted on a bracket (far right). The legs of the bracket are fixed on the right. There is a down force on the left. The goal is to measure vertical displacement on the left. All of the vertical displacement comes from flexing at the bracket, so this can be considered an angular displacement.
Is there a way to measure this vertical displacement without the long rigid body or it's mesh elements?
Or is there a way to turn off the mesh elements on the rigid body? I want to eliminate the unnecessary FEA computations to speedup the simulations.
I have a 2D drawing that I used presspull to give the correct depth to. Now I have to make modifications to it that are angular to the presspull direction and am not sure that presspull is the correct way to do it. I've searched around for vids and have looked at quite a few, but am stumped. Don't know if I need to change the orientation so that the angle I want to cut is the direction for presspull or if I am simply looking at the problem wrong. If I knew how to take a screenshot, I would post some so that it would be clear how inept I am.
