I want to change the Arrow Side Position for Weld Symbols from Top to Bottom for all future drawings. I have opened the Drawing Template (Standard.idw) and opened the Styles Editor and switched the Arrow Side Position and saved the template. Then I have tested. In the template it works good, but when I open a new drawing (based on the template) the arrow side position didn't change.
View 4 Replieswe have just upgraded from Inv 2011 to 2013. I am trying to create the drawing templates in 2013 by using the blank 2013 template and then copying our border from 2011 onto it. This works a treat apart from 1 thing.
The i properties do not get copied over as well so the sheet is blank from drawing number, title and the custom properties etc.
A quick question about Mulitleaders. Is it possible to force AutoCAD to attach the Arrow to the right side of the text? As it is right now if I move the arrow to far to the left, the arrow jumps over and attaches to the left side - is it possible to force it to stay on the right side no matter how far left I push it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to insert arrows into an idw. I usually use 'Leader Text' then leave the text blank.
The only problem with this method is it leaves a small horizontal or vertical line at the 'text' end of the arrow. Is there a way to get rid of this or is there an alternative way of inserting an arrow?

Have more than one drawing template? (we use A and B size sheets)
My questions concerns, metric vs imperial A vs B vs C etc etc drawing sheet size title block does not scale down accordingly when change sheet size within an existing drawing template.
Is it possible to have one drawing template that can be toggle imperial vs metric, and then sheet size selected and then the title block scaled down or up accordingly? (I would assume this could be done using iLogic)
Or is it normal to have different drawing templates for sizes and units?
Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remaines fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?
I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: [URL] ........
What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other. I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.
Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process. It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.
How to get postion of faces of part when place on idw drawing file???
Do we need to use (ThisApplication.MeasureTools.GetMinimumDistance(oTG.CreatePoint2d(0, 0), oFa.PointOnFace)?
If we use that we will get distance but how to get face postion on idw. do we need to use edges?? or lines?
Is there any way to change the position in which the leader arrow attaches to the tag? I want the arrow to come from the top left and bottom right.. Is there away to set this up? As you can see, by default, it comes from the center. I was hoping there would be some adjustability on this.

Is it worth making me own templates so that I can just jump into future drawings or is it better to download templates from the internet?
When I plot my Autocad drawing, arrows (see attached image) arrow.jpgpop up. I'm pretty sure they are coming in from one of my architecture x-ref files, but as they only pop up when the drawing is plotted, I cant seem to figure out how to turn them off.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a drawing template in C3D with layers, blocks, descriptor keys and all the fun stuff, but this was just for the survey section of the engineering group I work with. Now the engineers, who had another template set up with design layers which they don't use but may want to use, asked me if I can add their layers to my template. The have about 2000 layers and I do not want to manually add this information. Is there any way I can either export their layers or merge the layers?

I have a block that has a leader under an ARCH dimstyle. It's red but when I insert it into a drawing the line and arrow are white because that's what the ARCH style is in the drawing. Isn't there a setting that stops that from happening?

It must not be a hard image to draw considering how many people are selling this image online, but I am stuck. I have tried creating a box, converting it to an editable polygon, and then applying the bend modifier to the box, but it does not look anywhere as good as the image on that website.
i wish to set up a mobile reciever device that can integrate with an autocad dwg drawing to show my physical location in the real world as a point on the drawing screen in real time.
I guess you would say it would work exactly the same way a GPS map works however instead of using the GPS and street map i would be substituting in a construction site base station and autocad drawing.
p.s the "Leica" system will not do the job for me. from my search so far it mainly works with elevations rather than lateral positioning in real time. i do not want to have to constantly move emitters and or receivers on the worksite in order to track my movements in real time and display them on the cad drawing i have in front of me!
