AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Inserting And Aligning Live Map To Drawing?

Sep 16, 2013

i am trying to attach a live map to the c3d2014.

first i set the projection and then it asks me  insertion point.

1)why the map do not come in at the correct location and c3d needs me to specify the incertion point?

2)then it asks the rotation. i thought that all maps are pointing at north. but if i set it at 90 degrees pointing straight to the north a get a litle rotation that becomes very noticeable as i move far from the incertion point.

if the 90degrees is wrong, how can i find the correct rotation to give the c3d?

3) ok. that map is incerted. can i pan , move it ?rotate it ? how ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserting One Drawing Into Another / Linking Contents Of One Drawing To Another

Dec 2, 2013

I would like to know if there is a way to insert drawing no.1 into drawing no.2 (not copy sheets!) so that if I change the drawing no.1, the drawing no.2 (the one that contains no.1) also updates.

That is because I would like to have one part of the drawing that is ''standard'' and multiple drawings that contain this part (so that this part is defined in all drawings but is always the same). Because I don't want to have a separate drawing for the ''standard'' part, but only drawings that contain it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Aligning Different Subassemblies At Intersection?

Jul 23, 2013

issue with my Corridor.  It involves the intersection of a main road alignment and a secondary road. Thing is my main road has a 6' shoulder whereas my secondary road doesn't have a shoulder at all. I used the Intersection Wizard to create the Intersection, but the two templates don't align. Without the shoulder the ditches don't line up. I tried drawing a polyline between the two ditches and targeting it and that worked, but then realized that going from 6' shoulder to no shoulder wasn't working either so when I tried to target a polyline from the 6' shoulder to the edge of pavement all kind of stuff happened that didn't make sense to me.

AutoCAD VB :: Inserting A Block From Another Drawing

Jun 22, 2011

I am trying to insert a block from another drawing, the only way I have been to acheive this has been to open the drawing

Set ObjDocument = ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open("D:ACADBlocksGENERAL.dwg")
For Each ObjBlock In ObjDocument.Blocks
If InStr(ObjBlock.Name, "LOGO") <> 0 Then
CopyObjects 
End If
Next

ObjDocument.Close

I would prefer not to open the drawing to access the block, is this possible in VBA.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 :: Cursor Not Aligning When Drawing A Line?

Dec 23, 2013

I had Corel Photo Paint v.9, have used it for years in addition to DRAW, but recently my computer died and I had to replace it.  I installed it on the new machine, which is running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, but the line tool suddenly started acting nuts.  I would move the cursor to where I wanted to start the line and start the line with a mouse click.  The line would then dart half-way down the screen and would be nowhere near the cursor's cross hairs making it difficult to work on images.

So, I figured it was a compatibility issue so I bought Corel Technical Suite X6 and have installed it.  The line tool does exactly the same thing.  The position of the line is nowhere near the crosshairs of the cursor.  Is this a new "feature" or is this a bug?  If the former, how can I get it to work like I am accustomed to working (I have used DRAW and Photopaint since the mid 1990's, using version 5.0).  If the latter, how can I fix it?

Illustrator :: Live Mirror While Drawing Object?

Jul 11, 2010

I have to design some things that will be fairly complex and also completely symmetrical. if there's anyway to have Illustrator automatically mirror something as i draw it, how the object is coming along big picture-like. I know this is possible in 3d programs I've used like 3DS max, but not sure about Illustrator. Or is there another CAD type program they'll do it that I could then import into illustrator?

Illustrator :: Live Trace Technical Drawing

Oct 17, 2013

I am new to Illustrator - I am scanning simple components on a technical drawing. These are line drawings - closed contours (for example, the outline of the cross-section of an aircraft wing). I am attempting to use Illustrator to convert the jpg scan to vector form - am saving the result as a .dwg file. I am then importing this into SolidWorks where I am attempting to extrude the form of the component prior to 3D printing.
 
In Illustrator I am using live trace to create the vector representation. However I'm finding that the vector representation appears to take the form of a number of segmented vector representations. As a result, in SolidWorks I can obviously not extrude the component.
 
Are there are additional steps within Illustrator that I should be using so as to clean up/unify the vector representation?

AutoCad :: Inserting Pre-made Layers Into A Drawing

Any good way to insert pre-made layers into a drawing as needed?

I am using AUTO CAD LT and have made up some layers, but chances are not all of them will be used on every project. I have all the layers assembled in a drawing I call "Layers" and rather than go in and manually select the layers I need I am wondering if there is an easier way to do this?

AutoCad :: Inserting Title Block In 3D Drawing?

Sep 20, 2013

I'm having trouble inserting my title block in a 3D drawing. I'm kind of new to 3D modelling but it's probably a small mistake i'm making.

I started with my view in SE Isometric, drawed something and then I copy/pasted my title block from another drawing, all in modelspace.

My drawing is 3D and my title block is 2D but in the wrong position.

AutoCAD .NET :: Inserting BlockReference With AttributeReferences From Another Drawing

Apr 24, 2011

I need to insert Blocks with Attributes and its values from another drawing into the active drawing.  I am not sure if the way I am doing it is correct.  I am having problems with the transactions, one for the source drawing and the other for the active drawing.  I had a few eviolations problems.  It seems that I have to close the transaction of the source drawing before I can access the active drawing and the other way around.

Since it is a BlockReference with AttributeReferences and its values I firstt opened the source drawing on a side database withing its own transaction and went through the ModelSpace TableRecord until finding the BlockReference with the correct AttributeReference value.  Then, I had to store all the Tags and TextStrings on an array because I could not access the active drawing without closing the source drawing transaction. 

If the BlockDefinition exists on the active drawing then I only have to create a new BlockReference with the AttributeReferences and update its TextStrings with the values stored on the array.  All of this withing the active drawing transaction. 

If the BlockDefinition does not exist on the active drawing I could insert it  from the source drawing side database ONLY within the active drawing transaction.  I have to close the source drawing transaction first. 

Now, is there any way of doing this that won't require switching transactions?  Is it possible to find the BlockRefence on the source drawing from the active drawing transaction?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserting JPEG Or BMP Into Drawing Sheet

Apr 19, 2010

I am running inventor 2010 suite with service pack 2 and when I try to insert a JPEG or BMP into a Drawing Sheet (not a sketch on a part file), the image does not appear. I have done this on previous versions numerous times and it worked perfectly fine.

The message which appears on the screen says "TEMPEMBED.BMP" and it has a photoshop CS4 logo. When I do a print preview, nothing appears on the page. I have opened up a previous drawing sheet, which has a JPEG & BMP inserted and the image is shown, but when I try to insert another image on the same drawing sheet, the same thing happens.

I am running a pretty fast machine, with an intel i7 processor and a pretty hardcore graphic card.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Attribute Order When Inserting Drawing As Block?

Apr 15, 2011

I'm trying to build a routine for my job to insert a block which consists of 3 single line variable attributes in a specific order. I need to be able to do this on many different drawings, and I would like to share this ability with my coworkers. Using the DesignCenter is not an option. In order to do this, I saved a drawing which consisted of the three attributes in the layout in which I need them to appear, however the order in which it prompts me to enter them is reversed. I already know how to set the order of attributes in an EXISTING block definition using the BATTMAN command, as every time I run the routine again, I'm redefining the block definition.

I'm not sure if it's important to know this, but the routine consists of a button with the following macro:
 
(command "-insert" "c:/folder/drawing.dwg" (getpoint "
Choose Insertion Point: ") (* (getvar "ltscale") 2) (* (getvar "ltscale") 2) "0");
 
EDIT: It works perfectly fine on my home computer, though my home computer runs an older version of acad.

Is there any way to get arround this?  Idealy I would like the old file inserted and have the annotion scale of the blocks in the inserted dbg set to the current scale.

AutoCAD LT :: 2007 - Inserting Individual Excel Cell Value Into Drawing

If not AutoCAD LT 2007, then what about a more recent version of LT or even full blown AutoCAD?

AutoCad :: Text No Longer Locked When Inserting Block Into Drawing

Apr 30, 2012

I have created a dynamic block of our companies Stage section. The block is set up as a rectangular array using XY parameters.

The block itself works fine however I created block attributes in the block dwg to display its measurements using the Distance x and Distance y totals.

When inserting the block into a new drawing I need to explode the block in order for the array to work, however this also means that the text is no longer locked to the block.

I had used -dwg units and this appears to single drawings only. Any other way to do this to all the files in a folder.
