I have tried to load a custom line type from Autocad 2013 to Inventor 2013, through Edit Laver-->Line type -->Other --> Load, but it doesn't appear in the drop-down list. I have read that previous Inventor releases coudn't work with autocad custom or complex line types. Is it still like that?
View 3 RepliesI need to represent some lines, in model space, that alternate in color, yellow/red, that are "scalable" with respect to different scale view ports in paperspace.
my initial idea was to use two lines, each in which the dash and space between were the same distance, then just offset the yellow/red lines enough for each to fill the others gaps. But, wondering if it was possible to represent that in a single linetype?
I have a problem with line type scale for hidden line it appears different line type scale in another drawing, al though the setting for line type scale & Global scale factor is same for both the drawings. Is there any other setting for the line type.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm woring with 2D polylines as exported from another piece of software. The problem I have is that the LTGeneration resets to disabled evertime a polyline is edited, ie broken or trimmed. Plinegen is set to 1 as the system variable, but as far as I can tell every time a line is broken etc it creates a new entity that doesn't inherit the ltgen properties of the previous line or the system variables. I know i can convert to polylines, but is there a better way?

I understand there is some setting you type in the command line to solve this problem but I am unable to find what that is.

it is suggested to reinstall the software, but this is not working for me.I have already tried to 'repair', 'reinstall' and completely remove all the software and then reinstalling it, but nothing seems to fix this problem.
Are there any other programs I need to have installed to get this command to work?

I have a fairly new DELL PC that meets all the minimum system requirements. I am running Window 7 and I can't get Autocad 2013 demo to run. It says install successful but when I try to run it it just hangs up and says "First run Initializing" and never loading. This is the first program that won't run I've ever had with this new computer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn solidworks there's a "hidden line" option that displays a 3d part with all its sketch lines (instead of a regular solid) which allows the user to view all the different sides of the part easily. So I was wondering if there's such an option in autodesk inventor 2013. Currently, to view all the different sides and aspects of a part easily, i have been changing the part's material to polycarbone or some other plastic material; this makes the part a little translucent. But this is less effective than the hidden line vew availble in solidworks. method that makes different parts of a 3d part more easily to be viewed?

Any project I load it into shows it at its default configuration, but when I select it in the project and change it's type in the properties box, the configuration does not flex - it stays as inserted. It also shows my parameters in the properties box as individually modifiable.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI´m using Inventor Professional 2013 64-bit build 138.No matter what I get 1 pixel wide lines on screen and on printer.
I can control line colour and line type (as in solid, dashed, dotted etc) from Manage - Styles editor - Layers.
When I make changes to the "Visible" layer:
- the line colour changes come through both to screen and printer
- the line type only comes through to the screen, but not to the printer
- the line weight is ignored both by screen and printer
Tools - Application Options - Drawing - Display line weights

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a new linetype. It is a simple linetype, made up of a continuous chain of capsules that I've attached here. I understand that linetypes require shape files and line definition files. However, AutoCAD isn't even telling me how to create the shape file(s) I need to begin making the linetype.
The capsule is .12 units long at its widest, and will need to connect end-to-end.
For years we've had a line type change toolbar that worked just fine. This years update may have changed something that the old macro is missing or doesn't need anymore because none of the commands work anymore. One of the macros reads:
^C^Cselect chprop;previous;;ltype;dashed;ltscale;4;;
I'm having trouble with the line type dissappearing or showing as Continuous when I print. It also does not appear to be the same size on different lines, even though the type, scale etc. are all the same.
