I have a series of sheets, each with two viewports to show two plan views of a long road alignment. I arranged them to read bottom to top, as it goes up stationing, as we do with cross section sheets, but have been told by an outside reviewer that the sheets are confusing and should read top down.
How would you arrange them?
Typically when setting up a viewport in paper space I can change the viewport type at the bottom of the properties dialog box. In 2013 the option is available, but it will always snap back to undefined. I'm sure it is a setting somewhere.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe use this function constantly for A1 drawings. It is such a great feature since 2010.
But I get errors with A3 and A4 plans that cut off the top and bottom or even sometimes the left and right hand sides.
I have set it to ISO Full Bleed, but still I don't know how to get it to print.
I am using our standard title blocks which print correctly to paper and to third party PDF creators.
How to wrestle with this command to get it to print with bigger margins?
Having issues with 2013, somehow switching to bottom view. Open a drawing and everything looks normal except when I look at the viewcube and I am looking up from the bottom.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat would be the best way to create a stage storage report with a basin that has multiple depressions and high points in the bottom of the basin?
The stage storage report seems to calculate these features as an addition when it should be subtracting for high points.
Could I do a bounded volume and set the datum to each increment of storage? How accurate is that? If it's accurate, is there a way do generate multiple at a time instead of typing D then setting the datum, then repeating that process over and over?
The only way that seems the most accurate is to create multiple planes at different increments, add those to seperate surfaces, then a volume surface for each one comparing it to the basin. This method takes up a ton of time, especially when dealing with 50+ increments.
Is there a way for the elevation of surface to be shown in the bottom left corner along with the easting and northing as the cursor tracks over the surface? currently only the easting and northing track with the cursor the elevation remains 0.00

1 - How to I remove the bottom label on the vertical axis (label 25.00 on the image below).
2 - How can I get only the start and end labels offset away from the line?
3 - Can I change the size of this title (SCALE 1:200) to be different from the CHAINAGE 10.00m title?
4 - My band sets are labeling grade breaks every 2m. Why does my grade breaks show at 2.24m/5.44m etc I would expect this to be 2/4/6/8/10/12/14m or is there a way I can change this so that they only label to major grade changes (i.e. the bottom of slopes).
Is there an easy way to create a tin surface from 3d polylines that are generated by actual measurements of a river/ditch or imported from Hec-Ras (River Analysis -extension)?
The problem seems to be that the triangles should be long and narrow (like the ditch bottom in the example) instead of normal triangles the triangulation method normally generates. (The triangles in the example are generated by 3dwin -program).
When using Hec-Ras one way to go around this problem is to interpolate sections (XS:s) with very short distance. Hec-Ras does the interpolation very well, but I would like to have a better solution without tricks with other programs. Also in the long rivers the result is a very large file.
After crating my squared pond (or waste landfill for that matter) I runned a cross section from an alignment running across the the entire pond. The cross section did not show the bottom of the pond. I noticed that I forgot to do an infill to the bottom of the pond so I did it. But, still the bottom of the pond its not showing up in the cross section, just the side slopes. Do I have to delete the alignment across the pond and recreate it? That is probably the only thing I have not done. BTW, I have an access road coming down the side of the pond with a corridor created already and is not showing up neither on the cross section.

Requirement is to display pipes in profile with the same linetype ON TOP as shown in plan view, but bottom line of pipe must be continuous linetype.

I still do not see a way to control top and bottom pipe linetypes independently - using 2011.
I'm using the DaylightBasin Subassembly along with the "Place Lined Material" option & it works everywhere except along the flat 0% (very bottom portion of the ditch).

I'm trying to build the ditch portion of my Subassembly backwards from an offset target "DitchOffset". The elevation of this point should be derived from a point that is using Slope and Delta Y from point "P12" (see attached). Must be at least 1m from the bottom of SubBase with a 5:1 slope.
The Ditch Bottom will be variable width. I'd like to be able to select my offset alignment for my ditch bottom. Have a link from this point extend at a slope to the Target Surface to complete the foreslope.
I can't quite picture how to complete the links from the DitchOffset point. This may be complicated but the diagram identify what I'm trying to do.

I want to make this part that bend 15 degree at 800 mm from bottom. In my attempt.
First, I bend it 15 degree.
And, make flange from Face and upper flange then I stuck with error.
We export our renders to be used in a GUI and for some reason the bottom of our renders since last week (to be fair we only have one user who exports - so only one user has this problem) have a solid black line on the bottom. Now this wouldn't be a horrible problem except we have to set a transparency color in our control software and since the background is not uniform it is VERY obvious when in our final software package. We also have to maintain a constant resolution or the control systems (what we use the renders in) will distort and be way off.
Here is a sample: [URL]....
This happens in both 2013 and 2012. Perhaps there are some lightning/render settings I can try changing on this users machine?
We've carried out a company upgrade of AutoCad to 2014. Since then a fair few PC's display an odd behavior of rapidly flashing bottom toolbars when more than one drawing is open at a time. One PC resolved this by upgrading their video driver.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to make it possible to insert table by choosing any of it's corners. I cannot get it to work with choosing bottom corners - I can't get the exact height of the table.
The sample code of the one-row table is:
acApp.Document doc = acApp.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;Editor ed = doc.Editor;Transaction tr = ed.Document.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();try{ BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)tr.GetObject(doc.Database.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); Table tb = new Table(); tb.InsertColumns(0, 24, 1); tb.SetRowHeight(4); tb.Columns[0].Width = 24; tb.Columns[1].Width = 24; tb.Cells[0, 0].TextHeight = 2; tb.Cells[0, 0].TextString = "some text"; tb.Cells[0, 0].Alignment = CellAlignment.MiddleRight; tb.Cells[0, 1].TextHeight = 2; tb.Cells[0, 1].TextString = other_text_from_variable; tb.Cells[0, 1].Alignment = CellAlignment.MiddleCenter; tb.HorizontalCellMargin = 0; tb.VerticalCellMargin = 0; tb.GenerateLayout(); tb.Position = // exactly... what should I do here? BlockTableRecord btr = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite); btr.AppendEntity(tb); tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true); tr.Commit();}catch (Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception ex){ ed.WriteMessage("
ERR: " + ex.Message);}finally{ tr.Dispose();}
Now... I'm trying to make 1-row table width the height 4. I should set tb.Position by just subtracting 4 from the Y-value of the clicked point... NOT.
tb.Height gives me 4. But I get the table with height 5.667. And I can't just use that value for subtracting, because even then, bottom-right corner is about 0.2 above or below clicked point... (X-value is correct and equals the clicked point's X-value.)
The same thing happens when I insert a table with the number of rows depending on the number of the records selected from DB. The same thing happens, when I use obsolete .NumRows and .NumColumns. What am I missing?

Border lines print okay but zone numbers/letters get cut off. This should be A on the right and 1 on the bottom
Prints to printer okay but print to pdf is messed up.
If I move one of the text boxes lower or to theright, that box gets cut off but the rest then print okay.
I feel as though there is a shortcut for this problem. In this simple 3D model, I need to "cut" out the excess volume from the bottom of my 3D model. The thickness at all walls needs to be 1mm. Is there a simple solution to "vaccum" the extra space out from the bottom? The top shows the compartments.. but the problem is the excess space underneath.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNormally, when you select an object or a group of objects and you go to copy it/them with Ctrl+V (NOT Ctrl+Shift+V), AutoCAN'T will use the bottom left extents of the object(s) as the base point for what you are pasting. For whatever reason, when I select+copy+paste an object, the base point/origin/whatever you want to call it, is way off and not even near any of the objects.
How can I reset this?
