AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Crashes When Try To Set CANNOSCALE By Various Methods?
May 16, 2011
Not all drawings present this difficulty, but the ones that do must be passed to another person to set the annotation scale. I am using Civil 3D, 2010. In these drawings, I can try to use the scale popup at the buttom of the editor window either in paper space or model. A Fatal Error is returned. To change the paper space viewport scale, I have to use the zoom XP command to keep from crashing but the annotation scale is another thing. I have not found a work around. I have tried to set the CANNOSCALE variable and I have tried to set it through a lisp script. The drawing does not Error out by setting this variable, but does not actually change the properties of the viewport either. My default setting for ANNOAUTOSCALE is -4 for what it is worth.

I am placing a lot of suface slope labels in my drawing (as in hundreds). The default settings force you to choose a surface, and then to place it by selecting 1-point /or/ 2 points. The CAD default is the 1-point. Is there a way to change this default to the 2-point so I dont have to change it everytime?

How to add the “CANNOSCALE” on the quick access bar?
I tried to add the “CANNOSCALE” on the quick access bar but sounds it is not on the list of the “customize user interface”!
What I’m supposed to do to add it?

I am still green at lisp creation. I would like to create a lisp to change my cannoscale to match that of an existing dimension in model space. we use tabs and therefore have many different scales for the vports in our drawings. i want to be able to type my command, have acad ask for a annotative dimension to match, i click it, then the lisp resets my cannoscale to match.

I would like to be able to check if an Annotation Scale already exists and if it doesn't I would like to create it using the SCALELISTEDIT command and then set it to be the curent scale. I then plan to invoke the MLEADER command.
I do not want to have to rely on adding every possible scale in the list beforehand as my program would fall appart when a user decides to set an unusual scale I haven't thought of adding to the list.
See my initial start of the program.
(defun C:MLD ()
(command "cannoscale" "1:55") ;STOPS HERE WHEN 1:55 DOES NOT EXIST
(setq IfAnnoScaleExists (getvar "CANNOSCALE"))
(command "-scalelistedit" "add" "1:55" "1:55" "e")
)

The crux of the matter is that the CANNOSCALE value needs to match an existing named scale. This lisp is part of a bigger lisp and I need to pass a variable into it. Here's what I have:
(setvar "CANNOSCALE" (strcat "1" = " (rtos variable 2 0) "'"))
But I get this error when I try to run it.
; error: bad argument type: numberp: nil

Im trying to teach myself to draw pipe spools but am kinda overwhelmed by the options (MET and lisp addons etc.)
Im using auto cad 2013 and inventor 2013. Can pipe spools be easily drawn in 2d and 3d in these programs or do i need a 3rd party add on?

best way possible to present drawings in a poroduct to the end-user/manufacturer.
all part and assembly .idw's are printed and signed. then scanned and put into one pdf we call technical file. in the pdf, we use bookmarks for sorting into four main categories: purchased, manufacturing, assembly, and fitting kits. in addition we have other things, lik einstalation manual. the minus of this is that, when you are viewing one part, you cannot tell what assembly it is to be included in. in production area, they have small stations with ability to read these pdf's.

I've been given a drawing to edit and the creator has long but left the company. I need to explode the block in order to carry out the necessary editing however I cannot explode the block as it is an MInsert Block. I've searched the forums but I haven't found anything relevant. I've gone through the list of blocks present in the drawing to check that the "allow exploding block" tab is checked however there is no block for the whole drawing.
Is there anyway to explode the block and if so how would this be done? These are the blocks properties:
Select objects:
BLOCK REFERENCE Layer: "0"
Space: Model space
Handle = 57a34
Block Name: "*U243"
at point, X=-4237700.3549 Y=-1887128.2335 Z= 0.0000
X scale factor: 1.0000
Y scale factor: 1.0000
rotation angle: 0
Z scale factor: 1.0000
Scale uniformly: No
Allow exploding: Yes
And yes I can realize that allow exploding is set to yes but exploding block to attributes does not work.

I was wondering if there is a way for me to setup Autocad so that instead of putting in S 88d20'12" W I could put in something like S88.20.12W so that I don't have to mess with apostrophes or "d." Also, can i do something similar with distance settings? Where instead of saying 5'-6 1/2" I can say 5.6.1/2. I know I could convert the measurements into decimals, but that would waste the time I would be saving with a faster input method.

Have you developed a method or set of rules that has made working with large data sets / drawing files an enjoyable process? When working with an extremely large area, Map 3D tends to chug or lock up to the point where now I'm trying to rethink the "Proper" map setup and get opinions on your AutoCAD Map 3D - Mapping Best Practices.
I'm basically looking for comments, recommendations, and/or best practices when defining maps. If you have ever worked with an extremely large dataset or set of shape files and need to import the entities and the query from a drawing file (or maybe even multiple drawings), insert text, insert blocks with attributes. You'll know that this process can be time consuming when working with large datasets. Most staff that work with large data sets are moving to ArcGIS, which makes sense, but I'd rather do all my mapping / GIS with Map 3D.
So maybe setting up multiple drawings with each Layer in a separate drawing makes sense. (30 drawings in a central folder). The Task Pane option is not my preference. I'd prefer all drawings files to be setup with attribute data in-place and stored in a central folder. From there I will proceed with the setup of an extensive Query setup that will generate various maps by altering properties and inserting text from various object data. Essentially loading a saved query that can be ran with updated data to regenerate the labels in some instances.

I normally use Unsharp Mask, Amount: 100 / Radius: .5 / Threshold: 0 -- followed by Fade with Luminosity Mode. Recently I've started experimenting with the Hi Pass Filter. There seems to be many different tutorials on sharpening, each one's method slightly different. I'd be interested in other user's favorite methods and why.

Is there something to look at to learn all the properties for CorelDraw object more than just color and shape and the like.
Is there a trick to expose all the functions of the obejct (like a curve or oval) and it's properties?
I would like to measure and identify all points on a combined curve and I was hoping for a function to identify if a curve is at or near an X Y location.

I have a Civil 3D project with piping networks, grading etc. The servicing and grading plans are on layout tabs (5 of each 10 in total). When I would go export layout Civil 3D would go into not responding mode and crash. This caused quit a bit of stress as we had to get the drawings out to meet a deadline.
After investigating this issue, we identified that we had save our layer states in the layer manager. Delete the viewport on the layout tabs, draw a new viewport and then reinstate the layer states for each layout. This resolved, the crashing issue.

When I save the drawing it crashes, only happens in 1 drawing. Recovers fine, but has 1795 errors, but can't save it will still crash, but saves the changes just have to recover again. Have tried Auditing, Purging, -Purge, Proxygrafics set to 0 per something I read when I searched this problem, short of wblocking everything out and putting it into a new drawing? Noticed also I have to type in filedia and set it back to 1 everytime as well.
This company brings things in from everybody, so I'm sure it flooded with all sorts of diffrent apps info. Even though I keep telling them only take what you need they dump the architects, mechanical, landscape, everybodies drawings into 1 design file, not using xrefs, for even the survey is blocked in. Only other thing in this drawing a 1 png file and a pdf. This drawing also contains over 20 layout tabs alot but don't think it causing this problem. If your wondering dwg size its only 4mb.

I was wondering what is everyone's methods for removing people from their background? I have looked into many things but every one has given me issues and I really would like to get cleaner cuts much easier, without me having to spend a very long time trying to just get a simple photo cut out.
I have tried doing Quick Selections and then using Refine Edge; but when I do that I got some glow lines around the person; and everyone says try and use Shift Edge but they fail to notice when you shift the edge to get rid of the glowing lines it goes in on the photo so I'll be missing part of the person like there ear or head. Even if the glow lines aren't too big and I can get rid of them with some time; its a massive pain because it just fills the space between the ear and head because it's a small area; so when it makes the glow lines it fills it completely and turns it entirely rubbish.
I have also tried using a Plugin from Digital Film Tools called Power Mask - Which is essentially masking but making the masking method easier. However not all of the person is fully masked, like some of it isn't the foreground it goes like a lesser opacity of the white to more of a gray and when I switch over to what it then would look like; the person has missing bits or issues because the mask not working fully. Even when I go around twice to make sure it's all masked; it makes some, I don't even know some mist or white glow around them which I have to go around and remove and it's such a pain in the ***.
where I can get complicated photos of people cut out well? like say their hair is blowing in the wind, I want to be able to get a nice clean cut of the hair too; so I need something that works well without there being glow, or missing parts of the person etc, and I don't want to have to spend more than an hour just to get a cut out of one person.

AutoCAD C3D 2012 has been crashing nonstop over the past 3 days on me whenever I try to "Create a Feature Line from Object". I know that it is a localized problem as a co-worker has been in the same drawing and done grading work without any problems. The error has occurred in multiple drawings.

I am running Civil 3D 2012 and my Hydraflow crashes everytime I run an analysis. I am using a known Q and have input pipe inverts/slopes and pipe sizes. Everytime I try running an analysis I get the following message: Line 1, 2, 3 has no flow. Check pipe size(s) and slope(s). Then the program closes up.

I'm interested in what generalized method you would use to create a circumcircle for any type of triangle; the first thing that comes to mind is: how would you find the circumcenter?
Right now I am constructing two perpendicular bisectors using this method:
• Select the triangle.
• Menu) Object → Path → Add Anchor Points
• Lock that layer and create a new one.
• Draw a line from one of the added anchor points to a corner anchor point.
• With the rotate tool: Alt+click on the added anchor point and rotate the line 90 degrees.
• Then repeat all of that to make another side's perpendicular bisector.

The problem I have is I cannot change the brush to pure black; it's only dark gray and normal methods of changing the color aren't working.I went to Brushes, selected one of the Artistic_Ink brushes. (And drew a design)
I tried double clicking on it in the Brushes palette and in the "Art Brush Options" the colorization was already set to Tints. I tried all the other options but the color of the artistic brush is still dark gray; not black.
What else can I do to change the brush to pure black?
