I have created some reference points on a part. I have a need to include a table on the drawing of this part that shows the x,y,z coordinate positions of each of those points relative to the coordinate system origin. I have been trying to figure out a way to extract this information from the part to create source data to place into a table on the drawing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI made a table in the file and also split the part into 2 solids.
In the drawing, when i choose the first table mamber it shows both. when i choose to show the active member it shows the first member only (as i want).It didn't happen before i split the part.
My zip program doesn't know to include only the subfolder with the generated table files, only the whole path. i hope you will manage to generate the files, if not-i will add them with the whole path
Is it possible to link the dimensions in my .idw to the table in the upper left corner? I want the information in the table to reflect what is in the drawing.

I have two tables on a drawing one showing a parts list the other changes to dimensions.
The table to show the dimension changes is a configuration table pointing to an ipart.
iLogic is used to update the ipart but you have to right click to update the Active Member in the ipart to see the drawing update.
Is there a way to automate the 'update active member'? (on the ipart table - this does update the drawing)
I just have the one row in the table, it's purpose was to pass the values onto the drawing (as the part resizes I didn't want the dimensions moving so opted to tabulate them) - hoping they would update!
or
Is there a way to have a table update parametrically i.e. I've tried .csv as a source to the table but can't force an update. This way I could scrap the ipart & just import the values to a table.
The table also includes some txt comments which change with the ipart properties.

Is there a way to pin or standardize where a revision table is located in a drawing?
I have a title-block set up and would like a revision table either embedded or populated upon command, just above my title-block. It would also need to extend upward with additional revisions...
I have an iPart that I have created parameters to perform some basic calcs so the values will show up on every member. The parameters are correct for the different member so it appears to be working correctly on the model side. For example I have a parameter called 'CutLength' that performs simple math functions. But when I make the table on the drawing and I include this parameter, I see the formula in the table instead of the value. Is there a way I can have it display the value instead of the equation?

If I set up my Civil 3D drawing in some known coordinate system, e.g. State Plane, in the "drawing settings", can I then toggle my drawing into other known systems, e.g. UTM, by changing the coordinate system under "drawing settings"?
If not, how are the coordinate settings used?
I have a number of lines that will not fillet because they are non-coplaner. Is there a way to globally edit all the lines in a drawing to set the Z coordinate to zero rather than having to choose each line?

How do we get AutoCAD to draw from the BASE coordinate? Is there a new switch that's messing this up?
I want to attach a drawing (say A.dwg) and want to query some objects from it and want to draw in the current drawing. In addition to that I also want to set the coordinate system of current drawing ,same as attached drawing(A.dwg). How can I do it by using C#(Arx).

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe angle or radius are outside the table boundaries. I have used bend tables before and have not run into this. See screenshot. What I don't understand is that in the error dialog box the Thickness is correct the Radii are correct and the Angle is correct except it is showing a -90 degrees. Is that the problem? The negetive? Why is it showing a negative number. I can't change the way the part is formed. The problem seems to be with the lower left hand curl. It does go ahead and flatten it, but I don't trust the results when I have the three errors.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI received the attached drawing file "A" from a surveyor that was created in an earlier version of AutoCAD (approx 2000). The attached drawing is rotated so that the view in Model Space shows the cross-hairs with north pointing northwest. There are points included within the drawing that do not match the coordinates of the surveyed points within the attached ascii text file. I would like to rotate the drawing so that the points match the coordinates in the ascii file and North follows the y-axis.
I have imported the points from the ascii text file into a new drawing file "B". I external referenced (overlay) the new drawing file B into drawing A. I tried moving all of the objects in the drawing file A (with MOVE) to a known point coordinate and then rotating (ROTATE) the objects to two known points. I don't know how to select all of the objects in drawing A and not the external reference in drawing B so that I may Rotate only drawing A objects.
How to move and rotate the surveyors drawing A so that I may match the coordinates in the ascii text file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a part where I have placed a number of table driven iFeatures. These features generate parameters in the model that I can see in the parameter table. I am trying to find a way to have these iFeature parameters show up in the hole table in my drawing.
By 'exporting' the parameters, I have been able to get the values to show in notes and drawing view labels but I can't find a way to add them as a 'New Property' in my hole table.
I am 90% into the design of a subdivision and the survey was just updated. The original design was in an arbitrary coordinate system, and the new boundary is in state plane coordinates. I would like to move all of the design information to the new boundary. This would include all of the surfaces (approximately 6).
When I move the surface (any surface), I end up with errors. If I move the surface alone, I cannot move the defining feature lines. If I move the feature lines, I loose all of the edits I have made to the surface.
Is there any clean way to translate a drawing, including all design work, to a new coordinate?
I recently have obtain Autocad so I am new at this, I used another CAD package.
My question: I have surveyed a plot of land, and have exported it out as a 3d plan drawing. Drawn and tided it up. because its been exported as 3d it has levels on all the points mark and lines. What I now need is to know how to put a mesh or I would say a table cloth over the drawing so that you can visibly see the contours of the land.
I inserted a table from excel to autocad with copy-edit/paste special/paste link / Microsoft excel worksheet(code) and everything seems to work nice until I closed the excel. After that no automatic updates to cad files.
PS: I checked the properties of the excel table and it is linked.
How are we suppose to do a simple rotation around the y axis ( like a mirror of the sketch ). I think that I have pick every single line in my ipt but inventor can't show me what I want.

Is there anyway to report a coordinate of a part in a sketched symbol.
I have a plan view and would like to be able to point to specific part and among other things, report its elevation.
I created a dynamic block table and I try to insert into a drawing, however, it doesn't work, all block data are gone.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm preparing plans for individual land owners. I know I need to filter parcels "by hand", center, zoom, scale etc. I'm using labels to get parcels numbers on the plan but I have to add name into title block. I don't want to use feature labels because concat function does not work (I need to show parcel number) plus the name I need to put on is quite long (it doesn't fit in the drawing).
My question is: Is there a way to put text into drawing / title block from attached table or from feature properties of shp or sdf files?

When ever I want to change the sketch plane for a already finished sketch, I use rmb, redefine and choose new plane/ planar face.
Why does the sketch position change from the original coordinate point when redefined to new plane?

I made a complex assembly from Solidworks few years ago. I imported it to Inventor 2012. How can I find the coordinate of the center point of the: a) parts/sub-assemblies, b) the complex assembly as a whole? Under Application Options, I have already checked: Sketch->Display->Coordinate system indicator. Under the assembly tree, I can go to the Origin of each sub-assembly/part and make the corresponding Center Point visible. However, I want the x,y,z values.
I copied and pasted a sub-assembly/part to a new assumbly file and then used VRMLout to export. When I imported the .wrl files to another application, the location of the parts/subassembies are not correct. I think they all became (0,0,0).
Is there a way to set Inventor so that the sketch origin defaults to the part origin? I find it very frustrating that it always defaults to some random corner of the part's body. It can screw up a part if you decide later on to modify the part such that you eliminate the point to which a coordinate system was defined. Also, when copying and pasting a sketch to new work planes it can be a pain to figure out which point is the origin of the orignal sketch if the pasted sketch is misaligned.
I know you can edit the coordinate system after a sketch is created, but I'd prefer not to have to rememember to do that with every sketch.
This was brought up about 6 years ago and there was no formal resolution
