So autodesk has added linear symmetrical dimensions. How about adding the double arrowhead that should be on the trailing end
or even better...how about expose the code so we can create custom arrowheads . Also posted on customization board:-

Is it possible to create your own custom arrow head for use with leaders, balloons, dims etc?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how I can find a dimension that's created with the command (with the internal command name) "Create3DLinearDimension".
This command is used to create a linear dimension on a view that has the default dimension type set to "True".
I have to collect all the Dimension arrowheads(usually close filled type) present in the modelspace ,and change the type to DOT.. Im using COM APi.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't figure out why only on one layer the arrowheads on dimensions are not solid. They are made up of low resolution hatches.
Also the screen shows black and white when plot is in monochrome and color only when the plot setting are for color.
I can't figure out how to keep the screen in color regardless of plot settings.
I have created a couple text styles which are identical other than the fact that one has pointers using filled arrows whilst the other has filled dots. However when exported to dwfx, the arrows appear whereas the dots are absent!

Is there any way to add arrowheads to a path with script (JavaScript or VBScript)? I don't want to make triangle or V-shaped path but add one of the built-in start and end arrowheads, scale them and set arrowhead alignment, all with script. There is no information about this topic in the Illustrator scripting references.
In 2010 and previous releases I recall being able to show the feature dimension by right clicking "Show Dimensions" and then being able to double click on any visible dimension and change its value. I don't see this behavior in 2012. Is there a setting to turn this on?

I create a set of 3D blocks and add linear dimensions to these in paperspace. When I want to edit a block the line origin of the linear dimension loses its original set point and I have to spend a lot of time changing the annotations in paperspace.
Am I using the wrong type of annotative dimensions or have I chosen the wrong angle to add dimensions to my blocks altogether?
I am using AutoCAD 2011. When I create a radius dimension on the inside of an arc, and I place the dimension beyond the center point of the arc, AutoCAD automatically draws an extension to the arc and points my radius dimension leader to the outside of this extension, rather than to the inside of the original arc.
I don't really like this. I prefer for my demension leader to point to the inside of the original arc. I can get exactly what I want by going into "Properties" for the radius dimension and turning the "Ext Line" property off.
Rather than having to do this every time, I'd like to create a dimension style that would give me this functionality all of the time. When I try to modify my dimension style, I see that there are just two parameters for Suppress Ext Line 1 and Suppress Ext Line 2. These seem to apply to both linear dimensions and radial dimensions. Is there anything I can do to suppress the extension line for radial dimensions only and not linear dimensions?
How do you remove singular dimensions from within a string of linear dimensions?
At the moment I cannot delete individual dimensions and am required to delete all dimensions in that string and start again.
I am a beginner and I think some thing is turned off but the do not know what, because you need this spacial cursor on screen to change values in the channel box but my own is not showing up.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn our work we draw many symmetrical outlines. In many cases, chiefly due to space constraint, we draw only half the outline and use a centerline of the symmetry to dimension the part.
Our current method is to use sketches to achieve this. I wonder if there is a way that we can make this linetype available from the styles? Diagram attached below.
So I have a multi-part solid of a symmetrical object, meaning that some of the pieces on each side are going to be identical (just mirrored). Some objects I would like to keep separate during the "make components" function because of the bends on them.
But for some of the solids, the ones that are identical on each side of the model, I do not want to create a part file for each identical solid. I want inventor to make one .ipt and put it in the assembly file twice (one on each side.)
The work-around is to only make one of the solids into a part then open the assembly, re-insert the part, then re-constrain it.
What's the difference between linear and bi-linear when using gradients? they seem to do the same thing to me (or I don't notice a difference)
View 2 Replies View RelatedCreating User Parameters, can we use trigonometric functions? and can we add these to linear (mm) parameters?
Can we add the Values irrespective of Units i.e. Inch/ Deg/ Unitless
Example: d0 (In) = d1 (In) +d3[ul] + (sin(Variable_Angle))
In value = In Value + ul Value + deg Value
I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.
I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole
Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.
How do I get the 1/4" to show? I have selected the feature and still get these results.
is there a way to lock the dimensions to aligned dimensions...or a key i could hold while dimensioning that would do that..
i have to dimensions a drawing where theres a lot of aligned dimensions to put and to do it manualy each time takes forever...

Is there a method to add a work plane to a curved surface ? I need a construction plane adding to a curved surface to allow a sketch to to added to this plane, not sure if this is possible but the problem I have is adding a series of sketches to a curved surface to then extrude-cut for window openings.

I am almost sure this is not possible in AI but I will ask it anyway:
is it possible to assign value of parameter as a result of non linear equation?
for example I would need parameter x to meet the equation
cos^2x+Ax+C=0
where A and C can be other fixed parameters.
I have a STEP file which is of a part similar to the rudder of a boat or an oar blade but twisted at the end, and I have to draw the split line to match the profile of the blade. I imagine I have to use a 3D sketch because of the twist and we are guessing that the split line will run down the apex of the blade, but I don't know how to get the 3D sketch to "stick" to the apex (there is no real apex as it's curved).

Autodesk Inventor 2010 .idw Drawing Detail - Where is the default setting for "Full Dimension Line" so that I can set it to always be on when placing a linear diametric dimension? I would prefer to turn it off on the few occasions when dimensioning a diameter on a Detail View that does not include the center line rather than each and every diameter on a section view. This is necessary because a diameter symbol does not show up in the diameter dimension unless the full distance line it is selected, which is not always possible. I am aware of the Application Option setting that allows Linear Diametric as a preference, which becomes the default for all dimensions, and it is user specific rather than document specific.
