AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can Take Off Or Remove Message / Finding Exterior Borders
Jan 20, 2012
How i can take off or remove the message "finding exterior borders". This appear in the left bottom corner of Civil 3D.....it makes that my computer is very slow...
I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I made exterior elevations in views for a building and the interior partitions are also displayed. An exterior elevation should only display exterior walls.
i try to practice on SAC and i have problem i want to know how to add shape only for the exterior area.i want only the area in yellow color and the red one be empty.
Just installed ProX4. When I make a title - either single or multiple - and try to apply a Border/Shadow/Transparency to the text, I get an error message that says . . .
"Encountered An Improper Argument"
Making the title was the ONLY thing in the project.
I cropped my picture from the white background and added a black Background and now i got a bright border around my watch
I found a guide via google which told me how to do that but this guide is for PS not PSE and in PSE we not have layer matting (or at least i din't found it) so my question is, is there a way to delete this "borders" from my image with PSE easy way? Or i have to delete them manually ?
I have the following code to delete all hatch in a drawing. At the end of the command there is a notice that all hatch have been eliminated.
However, the last message displayed is: "Hatch boundary associativity removed".
(defun c:deletehatch ( / d l )(vl-load-com) (setq d (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vlax-for a (vla-get-layers d)(if (eq :vlax-true (vla-get-lock a))(progn(vla-put-lock a :vlax-false)(setq l (cons a l)) ) ) ) (vlax-for b (vla-get-blocks d)(if (eq :vlax-false (vla-get-isxref b)) (vlax-for o b (if (wcmatch (vla-get-objectname o) "AcDbHatch")(vla-delete o)) ) ) ) (foreach a l (vla-put-lock a :vlax-true)) (vla-regen d acallviewports) (princ (strcat "All HATCH have been removed")) (princ))
In the past couple C3D versions, I've had these random borders show up in my simple tables. I have a table for my legend and another one I use for a list of references. I use no borders for these tables but sometimes when I edit a cell somewhere in the table, the random border will appear. I remove it and then sometimes it reappears again later. It's usually the top line of the second row, second column only but occasionally it will be when I add a row into an existing table.
I have one surface (surveyed pts) that I would like to paste onto another larger surface (say a LIDAR or GIS base). The extents of the small surface are entirely within the extents of the larger surface. The small surface does, however, have some interior areas without any data ('holes' if you will). In these areas, I want the paste operation to result in just the original base surface... but the paste operation assumes I want the new composite surface to also have a hole...
Screen shot illustrating attached with example surfaces. Is there a way to paste only the surface and not the holes?
i''ve a problem. After i had removed photoshop CS4 on windows 8. It's still in my config screen.When i push 'remove' i get a message that 'the installationfile is corrupt'. This is also the message when i try to re-installphotoshop 4. I removed all adobefiles in the regedit and msconfig
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".
I wanted to try adobe's Lightroom and downloaded and installed the trial version. I have decided not to purchase at this time and attempted to uninstall the product. I beleive it is crashing my computer as it is the only new program i have installed in literally years. This is the error message I am receiving.
Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable.
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.
I 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 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. I know the USGS has standard patterns for specific strata and I was looking for a .pat file that has them all in it.
Is 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.
I need to rough in a drainage pipe network that connects several structures around a site. The pipe inverts need to be 6.5' below the finished floor of each unit and must maintain a minimum 2% slope. The network needs an outfall at some undetermined point on the site. The pipes must follow some existing roads, so they are not interconnected directly to each structure.
How can I go about determining the potential outfall locations?
I am trying to work a routine that will draw tangents with or without curve in a profile by calling the command in the Toolbar icon to "Draw Tangents" button that is on the Profile Layout Tools toolbar. I can't seem to locate the command that I could execute at the comand line or in LISP. Where can I find a complete list of C3D commands to reference?
I am currently working with this drawing but im having some trouble with some settings..i can render the materials, but i can not set the background of my drawing..meaning, the 3D Perspective Projection background...i attached a photo so you can identify the problem...and what i am seeing in my monitor.As you can see, on the first image, when i select the 3d perspective projection(under drawing windows) after selecting it, it didn't take in effect. Also may i ask how to set the "sky effect" background? because i wanted to render this drawing to the best projection it can be...
I got the first attached message regarding UNDO command which I ignored. The second attached message then came and my UNDO command was frozen. I lost a lot of work done after I have shut down and restarted my computer.
Who knows what I should have done after the first or the second message?
i have one dll i been making for many years with many programs inside. works fine and all. however when i close civil 3d i get the following message box (see attached)
i checked the load civil 3d app and release stuff no msgbox mentioned. all commented out. Public Function RunCvl() As Boolean Try Try oAcadApp = Application.AcadApplication oAcadDoc = oAcadApp.ActiveDocument Catch ex
The message reads "One or more objects in this drawing cannot be saved to the specified format. The operation was not completed and no file was created." I am using AutoCad Civil 3D 2011.
