AutoCAD Inventor :: Align View Options In IDW

Dec 27, 2012

I am detailing a drawing with typical hole dimensions on a piece of steel angle. The drawing is setup such that the fabricator will have two options for each end of the steel angle. I have created two parts with the two options per end and have placed them outside of the page for reference.

I would like to reference each end of each piece, so that there are four pairs of views on the page (the two legs of the angle at each of the four ends), aligned in a grid. I have determined the best way to do this is with detail views. (Using breaks causes the break sign to appear huge, given the large gap I want between views. Using cropped views does not make it obvious that each end is a cutaway.)

My issue now is aligning the eight views. I know of the align options (horizontal, vertical, and in position), but they align to the "origin" of each detail, which is the center. With the angles being the same size, this works fine horizontally, but vertically, the pieces will never line up exactly, which is crucial to at least lining up the two legs of a single angle. The best I seem to be able to do is get the detail sizes as close to exact as possible so the centers come close to lining up. Even creating a projected view from a detail treats the cutaway end as part of the geometry, making it look a bit ridiculous.

way to precisely line up the views? I have done extensive searching and am confident that there is no inherent way to align based on a point or edge (seems like a deficiency on Autodesk's part), but is there a way to move the origin of a detail or something like that?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Align Model View Parallel To Axis

Jul 8, 2013

My part is at an arbitrary angle relative to one of the planes and i cannot align the view in a drawing to be horizontal.I try to make a view, in the part file, in which the model will be horizontal, but there isn't any precise input for views.

I used the Look At tool to look at one face and all i need now is to rotate the view 90 degrees round one axis, but when i touch the line of the compass in the Constrained Orbit command the view jumps back to some position.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Detail View RMB Options Missing?

Jan 30, 2013

While creating a drawing yesterday, I noticed that the RMB Options to modify a detail view has disappeared?

- Cutout Shape

- Detail Boundry

- Connecting line

I am not sure how long this has been like this, What I do know is that I had a corrupt model, (Broke when it migrated to 2013) I restored from backup and tested the model in ver 2012.

I can not say if bouncing between the two versions of inventor has perhaps changed something, or of this option has not been available for a while?

Lightroom :: Change View Options In Loupe View On Second Screen?

May 28, 2012

The loupe view on the second screen used to display information about the photo.  I double clicked on it and it disappeared and no matter what I do I can't seem to get it back.
 
On the primary screen this can be added/removed or changed in Library Module by selecting the menu view->view options... which gets you to a settings window where you can set what shows.  However, I cannot seem to find a similar thing for the second monitor.

AutoCad :: Align Paperspace View With Modelspace Rectangle

Nov 30, 2011

Is there a way to align a modelspace rectangle to viewport extents in paperspace? My situation is that I have several page 'layouts' (complete with paper size boundaries and title blocks) drawn in 2D modelspace, as this is how I have been plotting up until now. I am trying to set up these 'layouts' in actual paperspace Layout Tabs for batch processing, and I would like a way to position my view within a viewport so that the recatngle that I have drawn in modelspace snaps to the viewport extents. I am sure this is a 'day1' type of question, but I'm very new to paperspace Layouts.

Revit :: Align View At The Same Position On Sheets

Jul 8, 2011

If I have several sheets of several floors, and I want the views in each sheet to be positioned at exactly the same position. How do I best accomplish that?

You can use the "Guide Grid" to place the views on a sheet. Then you can align the view (using the grid lines) to this guide grid. In the other sheets, you can use again the same guide grid, just select the guide grid name in the properties of the sheet.

Additional information about guide grid is available in the Revit help, search for "Aligning views on a sheet" or "Guide Grid".

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Current View Align With Current Ucs?

Jul 20, 2013

how can i know if the current view/display is align with the current ucs?

let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world

worlducs = 1

viewdir = 0,0,1

ucsxdir = 1,0,0

ucsydir = 0,1,0

but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.

For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.

Lightroom :: 3 - Secondary Display Has No View Or Mode Options

May 2, 2012

I'm having trouble with the secondary display (window, in my case; only one monitor). When I first open the secondary display, either with a keyboard shortcut or by clicking, all is fabulous. The display modes (Grid, Loupe, Compare, Survey) are visible & clickable, as is thumbnail slider, file path. If I click or keyboard command to Loupe view, Normal, Live & Locked modes are available. However, if I close the window and then want to open it up later in my workflow, all of the aforementioned functions disappear. I'm able to bring up the Filter view, and can technically still work off the menu bar (and keyboard shortcuts, if remembered). But only if I restart the program do the full set of functions become visible again. The arrows at top & bottom don't collapse/expand to show anything more than a black border where the display & mode options once were.

Lightroom :: Copy Name Or File Name Missing (library View Options)

Mar 27, 2013

In the process of trying to find out how to name virtual copies I came across Julianne Kost's blog which explained it very well.

However, I can't find the rather useful option of showing "copy name or file name" but rather just "copy name" or "file name" on their own. Since I'm using LR3 (Mac), is this a feature available only in LR4 or am I doing something wrong?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Align Sweep Profile

I have shared the sample files, trying to use the profile in two different ways, through Dropbox (they are too large to upload).  I am using Inventor 2013.

Illustrator :: Paragraph Align Left Acts Like Align Right

Apr 30, 2013

Occasionally paragraph allignment works opposite for left & right align, usually on Illustrator documents with Russian type.
 
In additon on center align text I set my cursor to input a period at the end of a sentence, and the period instead gets added to the beginning.
 
In character palette language is set to English USA, this is point text.
 
I created a new point text and this is happening, if I paste text from another document alignment works fine, font is Arial black but happens with all fonts.
