I`m having some trouble getting the desired shape on a cut.I used a Extrusion cut which is the desired shape except i need the cut to get deeper as it travels around the bowl.In the picture with this post the cut starts at point A and travels around to point B.I need point B to be 60mm lower as it passes point A.As it travels around the bowl from A to B the cut gets deeper..I was thinking maybe the Coil feature .

In the image i've attached you can see what normally happens when dragging a balloon in position on the left and what i desire (and accomplish after a lengthy fight) on the right.
Is there a way to make a balloon (3.30.4 in this case) go into the desired direction without having to fight with it?

I've got a heap of parts(3D) drawn up that are about to be CNC machined up.
The place doing the machining uses Matzak CNC machines that need to have the dimensons manually entered into the machine.
What is the easiest way to turn my parts into plans with all desired dimensions that i can print out and give to the machinist?
I want to engrave the text 'TEST' all the way around this clonal object. When I use the emboss tool, selecting the option 'wrap to face,' it gives me an error message that the "face selected is not tangent to the profile plane."

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm making this diagram of the load condition acting on tunnels to explain a Japanese set of equations that are used for the structural analysis for tunnels:
load condition for EEM.jpg
But, there is one problem I have. I'm trying to set up the text for the dimension between the water table and the tunnel "Ha" to look horizontal.
However, if I click on the properties box and write 90 in the rotation box right next to where it says "text rotation," the dimension text does not rotate 90 degrees; if instead I try to rotate it 180° then it only rotates 90° (and in the opposite direction) instead of 180°. It doesn't matter how many degrees I choose, it won't rotate my dimension "Ha" to desired angle to make it look horizontal.
OK I know it's hard to explain my problem with just writing, so I've posted a few pictures:
In this one, the dimension is at 0°; I've only opened the properties box to attempt and rotate it: no rotation.jpg
Now I write 90 in properties box but the dimension text does not rotate at all; it remains at 0 as it is shown in the following image: 90 & no rotation.jpg
Next I try to rotate 180, just to see what happens; and it does rotate (only 90 degrees!): 180 rotates 90.jpg
I finally try to rotate the text 270 just to see if it rotates to desired angle and it does rotate (180 degrees from original position). As shown below:
270 last try.jpg
It doesn't matter how many degrees I choose, I cannot make it look horizontal.
How can I set up my dimension text "Ha" to look horizontal?
I need to have users plot to DWF from paper space so they cancustomize all the layers colors etc, on that specific paper space tab. I then am mixing this with FDO data generated out of Model space. Unfortunately, when using the EXPORTLAYOUT command, the data is coped into Model space but seems to retain it's paper space coordinates. I had hoped this function would behave like CHSPACE and copy everything from paper to model space in the same scale.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've received a dwg file from someone and I want to print it at scale 1:50 on A0 paper. However, I'm struggling creating the right scale.
My problem starts with the fact that measuring lines in the diagram does not produce values that match the actual size. E.g., I have a wall of size 390, but measuring it shows 621.
Is there any way to change the units to match the actual desired size?
Then, I find it tricky to create the right scale for printing (people will get the paper and use a ruler to measure distances, so accurate scale is important). If I cannot change the units, I guess I need a different scale than 1mm=50units. So I tried 1mm=8units, because 7.8mm should measure as 390cm in 1:50 ruler. But this is not very accurate.
I have a few files with layouts that have multiple viewports where layers were frozen to get the desired display, the drawing was saved, yet everytime the drawing is re-opened those layers are on again. This is creating problems because I am batch plotting many drawings at once. The layers are not locked.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created a viewport, selected it and since gone to zoom the relevant image until it is the desired size within the viewport.
I've done this a million times before without a problem, but am having terrible difficulty at the moment.
Once I've zoomed the image to size and subsequently exited the viewport frame (to view the sheet) my image disappears - I believe it just becomes a microdot.
Incidentally, when I initially go to zoom the image to fit the viewport window, I have to use the zoom, extents, 'select all' (CTRL A) and then significantly enlarge the component of the drawing I wish to have fill the viewport window.
Why is it that the zoomed image fills the viewport window when editing the viewport contents and then disappears (turns back into a microdot) when I've finished editing the respective viewport?
I use menu's based upon the following snippet:
(if (or (equal choose "1"))(MYFUNCTIONSDEFINITION))
works a treat, its easy for me to understand even if maybe not totally orthadox in method.
So I can populate my code to have multiple selections such as follows.
(if (or (equal choose "1"))(MYfunctionDEFINITION1))(if (or (equal choose "2"))(MYfunctionDEFINITION2))(if (or (equal choose "3"))(MYfunctionDEFINITION3))
and so on, but the example above caters for situations the users enter the values of 1, 2, or 3. If the user enters anything else I get a nil response from AutoCAD. So I devised the following
(if nil (alert "Wrong selection"))
but no response from AutoCAD qua an alert
also tried to be more in uniform with the rest of the lisp and wrote
(if nil (MYalertRESPONSE))(defun MYalertRESPONSE ()(alert "Wrong selection"))
also fails to yield the desired response.

I have a number of Sites in my drawing. I want to be able to set a Site current (in LISP) so that when you create or draw a feature line, the site is set to the desired value. I haven't seen a variable or setting for this.
As stated, my wipeouts are working just as desired when I plot single layouts, but when I publish multiple layouts they do not work at all.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am in case to model a stormwater network contain ditches with irregular sections, open channels and closed pipes in SSA. I do not have access to IDF curves for the Project area. We got a weather station in site which is giving us continuous data from last 3 months till now. At this stage we just decided to use certain Rainfall intensity (mm/hr).
We got some check points to check the turbidity. What I need to know after analyse is i.e what is the flow at these points at 6:00 pm if we experience the rainfall from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm with 20 mm/hr rainfall intensity.
So my concerns are with these available basic data, which method is suitable? and as long as we approach more valued data from in site weather station then which method will be the best. If i want to input time of concentration manually for each subbasin then how can i input TC of pipes or channels in SSA? URL....
where MATT said: "SSA does not calculate the Standard-Step method. The Rational Methods (including modified, and DeKalb) all compute the runoff to the inlet or junction. As soon as runoff enters the system, continuity and momentum calculations take over. SInce you are using Steady State Qin = Qout, so no routing occurs on pipes."
how do i understand the flow in certain points i.e 2 hrs after the rainfall is finished if I can not define TC for pipes or channels?

When I open a document or create one anew the working space window is sized to the exact image of the graphic. Each time then (just for preference) I pull the window out a little larger so that I can see the space outside my graphic.
Is there a way, however, that I can set my defaults though so that each time I open a graphic I reveal a bit of this non-work space? Or if I want to work this way do I have to Open - then drag the window out a little larger each time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm an infrequent and relatively unskilled GIMP user. I have used drop shadow in the past, and have been using it this afternoon with no problem until I started working on one image where I can't seem to apply the drop shadow to some text. I've got a 3-layer image, a background, a smaller image on a separate layer, and a text layer. Whenever I try to apply drop shadow to the text layer or the smaller image layer, it applies it to the background. I've tried everything I can think of...deleting and recreating the text layer, changing the "level" of the layer, closing then reopening the image...closing and restarting GIMP.. I select the text layer, click "Filter > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow", and apply and it always applies it to the background.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to use interference checks to determine what material needs to be subtracted away from other parts to get the clearance needed? (See Attached) The way I typically handle this is to project the lines from one part onto the sketch of another and proceed accordingly, however as you can see, it didn't work out well in this instance as the face of the part in question is not parallel with the sketch plane in the other..Therefore making the cut location inaccurate.
