Or did i have to find a way to output good picture from Processing.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Replace Dimension Formula With Current Value
Nov 15, 2011During design development dimensions get modified a lot. E.g. shorten something by 25mm I just edit the feature dimension by tagging on "-25" in the edit dimension box. If lots of modifications are made the dimension gets messy since all the edits are saved (e.g. 150 mm - 25 mm +1 mm -5 mm). In sketch mode, I just retype the shown dimension, but for other features like offset work planes, extrusion depth, etc, the actual value isn't even shown anywhere. Is there any easy way to replace the formula with the current dimension value without having to measure the feature?
Basically, I like being able to use the dimension entry box as my calculator, but more often then not, don't want the calculation history saved.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A Column With Custom Values Based On Formula
Nov 25, 2012I want to add a column to my parts list, which displays a value based on a formula.
Lets say i want to show the submerged weight of a part; So i need to create a column, which can use the information about a parts volume and mass to calculate its submerged weight.
An easy formula, but is this possible in Inventor (2012 Pro)?
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Formula - Measure Length / Width And Thickness Of A Part
Apr 26, 2012I am trying to create a iLogic Rule that will measure the Length, Width and Thickness of a part and ut it into the custom fields we have. I am having a hard time remembering how to get it to do it from the assembly level. I want to run this on the assembly and have it populate all the parts inside of it. The code below will do it for a part but what is it I add to get it to drill down into the assembly?
iProperties.Value("Custom", "THICKNESS")=Measure.ExtentsHeight
iProperties.Value("Custom", "WIDTH")=Measure.ExtentsWidth
iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH")=Measure.ExtentsLength
Then I want to add this formula to the Stock Number iProperty = <Length> X <Width> I can get it to add the values but I can not get it to add the formula to the stock number.

Oct 28, 2010I have imported an Excel 2003 spreadsheet into an AutoCAD 2010 Table, all came in fine except the following formula =ROUNDUP(((SUM(E27:E33))/24),0)
Does 2010 not support ROUNDUP ? The formula is used to calculate the number (whole) of driver boards required to drive the number of LED's calculated by the SUM function. Each driver board can drive 24 LED's, so if i have 23 LED's I need 1 driver or if I have 25 LED's I need 2 drivers
Also is there a list or table that shows what Excel functions are or are not supported in AutoCAD? I can't seem to find one.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Cannot Format Formula Fields
Aug 31, 2012There is a problem with my AutoCAD installation that is not allowing me to format my field if that field is a formula. The default unit is Architectural, and most times that is not what I need. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled, I have reinstalled only, and I have gone through and deleted all references to my AutoCAD 2013 installation before reinstalling. This is a huge issue as I am building templates and I need this functionality as I automate our drawings. Where this is happening and how to fix it. I originally downloaded 2013 (Design Suite Premium) from this site through the subscrption center, so I thought it was a bad download, which it may have been, so I then ordered the physical media, which arrived today, and I tried uninstalling, deleting all traces and then reinstalling, but I get the same result. This leads me to believe that it is a problem which is stuck in the install file in my registry, and I need to delete that before reinstalling, but I don't know where it is.
I am attaching pictures of the problem area from my 2013 version where this feature does not work, and my 2011 version where it did. The picture from the 2011 version is actually of the objects field section, but I should have a very similar screen for the formula field creation in the same area of the dialog box.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Using Formula Within A Field
Apr 11, 2012I am currently using a field for my elevation tags. The field reads the y-value of a line and displays the results as the elevation. Our local jurisdiction requires that we list elevations from above grade (A.G.L.) as well as from bottom of base plate. The difference is usually 6"-12".
I was wondering if I could create another field that would read the same y-value of a line, but then subtract a predetermined value (6") and display the results.
Currently we have to do the math ourselves and this leaves room for errors and is often very tedious.

AutoCad 2D :: Add A Specific Amount / Length To A Dimension By Using A Formula
Aug 4, 2009Is there a way to add a specific amount/length to a dimension by using a formula? For example, say I wanted to measure a length of conduit between two fittings. The clear distance between the fittings is 48" and the conduit is recessed into the fittings by 3/4" on each side. If I dimension between the fittings, normally it would read 48", but I want it to read 49-1/2" so my shop people know what length to cut.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: Schedule - Formula Column Totals
Nov 22, 2013when creating a schedule with a simple formula column (e.g : [QUANTITY]*Width), the formula column total doesn't add the formula results for a grand total. The total shown is the addition of Width of element.If I try and enable "Apply formula to totals", the total is : total quantity*total width instead of just a simple addition of formula resulting values.
For example:
I have 4 windows of 2 different styles.Two windows have a width of 2 meters, the other 2 windows have a width of 3 meters. I want to find out, my total window width, of all window styles.Therefore, i make a schedule with the following columns: QUANTITY, WIDTH and TOTAL WIDTH. The total width column is a formula column (Quantity*Width). The total of the formula column (Quantity*Width) doesn't add the resulting values (2*2+3*2=10), it only adds the simple widths without multiplication with quantity, my result is 5, wich is incorect. If i enable "Apply formula to totals", it multiplies total quantity (4) by total width (5).
AutoCAD 2010 :: Formula In Table - Convert Negative Result To 0 (zero)
Sep 10, 2012I am setting up a table to automatically calculate plumbing fixtures based on occupancy count.The problem I have is creating a formula for plumbing fixtures for B occupancy where toilets are required at 1 per 25 for the first 50 occupants and thereafter 1 per 50 occupants. (International Building Code)
A simple formula for 1 at 25 would be "value/25" whereby the value would be a cell content (occupancy number).
Taking this further with a formula like "(value-50)/50+(value/25)" works fine as long as the value (occupancy) is greater than 50.
If the value is less than 50 the first part of the formula (value-50)/50 creates a negative result.
Is there a way to convert a negative result of the first part of the formula to a 0 (zero)

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Creating Formula In Block?
Oct 24, 2012I've been fighting with building a formula in a block utilizing a field from another block. I have a support steel member that once placed, will be lengthened. I need a distance from center of the pipe to the top of concrete. I created a block with a field referencing the insertion point (center of pipe) it works fine giving me this elevation. I also have another block that is the datum node. I have several fields in this block, and it is located at the bottom of the support steel plate. I am trying to create a field that takes the center of pipe elevation and subtracts the datum node elevation to get a distance. I created the formula referencing the COP elevation field and the elevation of the datum node. The information shows properly where I am building the formula, when I click evaluate, the Preview gives me ##### and when I create the datum node block that is also the output I get. I can't figure out why it won't give me the difference between the two elevation fields. I don't know what I can do differently to have that information in the datum node.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Put Field Formula In Attribute Value?
Sep 7, 2011I am trying to put a field formula in an attribute value. Basically I have a block that has a attribute called QTY and it is equal to 1. I can get the object property to equal 1 with this expression:
%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%
The expression above will show a value equal to 1 (as I would expect)
Lets say I have two blocks now and I have the lisp routine combine the field values to get the expression below.
%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%+%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%
In the attribute dialog box it will show 1+1 instead of 2. My question is how do I get it to show 2 with out opening the formula box and evaluating it?
I have also tried.
%<AcExpr(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)+(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)>%
and
%<AcExpr((%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)+(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%))>%

But when I try to use that variable in a formula, I keep getting the error:
"Instance Parameters can't be used in Type Parameter formulas."
Is there a way of getting the reported dimension as a Type rather than an Instance - or is there another work around ?
