I need to create mtext with various size fonts and have them center vertically along a line. I can do this with two mtext objects, but would rather have them all in one. When I try it in a single mtext object, the bottoms of the letter align even with the justify set to middle center. How can I get one mtext object to align vertically along the centerlines?

The dwg was fine, then it crashed while changing from modle space to paper space...
When i recovered the dwg, EVERY MTEXT I try to edit becomes rotated vertically and stays that way when i close the edit box...
I do not recall hitting any buttons or making any keystrokes without my knowing...
Is there a way to get my text back to Horizontal and stay that way?
I tried setting the MTEXTFIXED to: 0, 1 & 2.
NONE of these options changed anything.
I NEED to have this fixed. more importantly, i need to know why this is happening sop that i can take steps to prevent this happening in the future...
I am currently working with the latest CAD available.
I have numerous MText paragraphs that I need to combine into a single piece of MText. I want the paragraphs preserved in the final piece. I've found some routines that can combine pieces of MText but I don't know if they preserve the paragraphs.I have DotSoft Toolpac but it doesn't seem up to the task. C

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having some fits with the constrained orbit center. It seems to me that It used to always be in the center of the screen when I would use Shift and CMB. Now it seems to be stuck on the center of my assembly/part. I know that I can hit F4 and long select LMB to re-center but I have never had to do that before the last day or two. I have uninstalled all the Beta Add ins I had installed and I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Inventor Pro 2014.
Is there an option somewhere that puts the default Orbit Center to the center of the screen?
How to keep the “center mark” at the center of the circle or arc?
I wanted to keep the “center mark” at the center of the circle but sounds not to work!
Is there a way? Or do we need to draw it using the “point” command?

View 5 Replies View Relatedi am trying to copy 3dpolyline vertically then create another line connecting between the start of each and join all 3 polylines and close them. i got a few hundred of these so programming is key.
can't figure out what's wrong with the code. got all the codes for cloning and create the new 3dpolyline with 2 vertices ok. but just won't join.also tried to going through all the vertices of the new polyline and join. but can't figure out how to read vertices on 3dpolyline.everytime programming something always get stuck at the end. pretty used to it already.

Is it possible to move a 2D sketch vertically? I have a sketch on the XY plane, but I'd like to move it up to another entity.
I can see how to do it in 2D (in the XY) plane, but not along the X axis.
is there a way to create a few profiles say at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0m vertically above the profile of the ground? without creating the surface again and change the elevation 4 times and making 4 data reference. using those lines for design guides for minimum fill requirements when doing FG profiles. before i just copy, then explode then move the original profile as a polyline. i actually have to explode the polyline after because it's laggy to zoom in the profile for some reason. once lines it's ok. but then again it's not dynamic. i changed my alignment and then those line stayed then have to do it all over again. this maybe a good feature to have next version.

I need to select a block in AutoCAD, and move it up or down vertically. I can get to the point where I have the user select a particular block, but after that, how do I get a reference to the block selected so I can move it up or down?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to align more than 2 objects either horizontally or vertically? I've used the ALIGN command and I can't get it to work. I get a message that says something like: "all 3 destination points are colinear".
I can get it to work if I'm just aligning two objects.
For instance, say you have four boxes, scattered around model space, and you want to align the left edge of three of them to the left edge of the fourth box, without moving them vertically. In other words, can you "left justify" all four boxes?
I want to use BO command for vertically long and thin objects. When i zoom in and the object is not completely visible in the screen and i click inside the object , AutoCAD says , valid hatch boundary not found. Is there a way to join polylines of such objects using BO command. I have to eventually resort to Pedit command which is bit tedious to do.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI find at least once every project I need to do something like this (skewing/forshortening). If I make a section view of a set design (cutting right through the stage), I'll do that by taking my set elevations and skewing them.

After offsetting a profile line vertically, lets say minus 5 feet, for design purposes, is there a way to take that new polyline that is created and making it a polyline so it can be smoothed. Almost everytime, the enginner has asked me to smooth out that polyline that I have offset vertically, because it is now going to be used as a pipe in the final design. I have been drawing a polyline over the top of the profile line, so it looks smooth........

I tried to rebuilt the file and reinstall but that doesn't seem to work.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been using the multiline text quite successfully. When i was playing with inserting tables, i rotated my text in the tables.

Where can i rectify this. On the properties the rotation angle is set at 0 degrees.
I am trying to align text in a row of my parts list vertically, but I can't seem to find an option to accomplish this. Please see the row for item #5 in the attached jpeg. The default behavior seems to be top justification.
I have found the ability to change left/center/right horizontal alignment in the 'format column' dialogue, but nothing for the vertical alignment. I have also tried changing the settings within the 'styles editor' by going to the parts list style I am using, then the text style that is specified for the data, and changing the justification for that text style to middle justification (see 2nd attachment), but it does not seem to effect the text within my parts list as I had desired.
Have a drawing I would like to drag from one window to the other while aligning it from left to right using the Tile Vertical command. After selecting the whole drawing and seeing the drawing in blue grips. When ever I try to drag the drawing from one window to the other I just a couple of lines at the most in the new window. Asking if there is another way to get around this without dragging.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a block that I want to show on a vertical exaggeration of 10x. How do I make it so that a block has a Y scale of 10 without the attribute text inside the block being stretched in the Y direction 10x?
I would like to use a Y scale of 10 rather than a block with 10x the length because I have a field that returns a length parameter and I don't want that value to be 10x what it's supposed to be, and it would make things much easier to not have to multiply my values by 10x each time I use the block.
I have a design profile and now I want to create one that's linked to it but have it 0.5m lower than the profile I just laid out. Is there a way to do this? I'd like to keep them dynamically linked so when i manipulate the 1st profile it will drop the 0.5m lower profile. In theory this would be a great feature to have in CIvil 3D.
At this point I will likely need to copy the profile and drop it 0.5m in elevation with edit geometry. Not ideal considering when I adjust the main profile I'll need to redo that process to show the profile 0.5m lower than my main design profile. (used as a side slope target).
I am having trouble moving an object a certain distance. The distance is defined by a pre-defined variable. I just can't figure out the syntax for the autolisp command.
Here is the bit of code if written, there is more code not shared here that defines the points for the polyline .
;-- the varaible box_height is defined earlier in the routine
;-- Draw the polyline for the top of the cabinet
(command "pline" p1tt P2tt P3tt P4tt P5tt P6tt P7tt P8tt "c")
;-- Assign the new part a variable name
(setq cab_toppl (entlast))
;-- Extrude the polyline to make the top of the cabinet
(command "extrude" cab_toppl "" cab_intw "0")
;-- Assign the new part a variable name
(setq cab_top (entlast))
;-- Rotate the top of the cabinet down to the floor of cabinet
(command "rotate3d" cab_top "" 2 p1tt p2tt 90)
;-- Move the top of the cabinet to the final location
;-- HERE IS THE PART I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH. ESSENTIALLY ONCE THE PART IS CREATED I'VE NAMED IT CAB_TOP AND AM NOW TRYING TO MOVE IT IN THE Z AXIS THE DISTANCE DEFINED BY THE VARIABLE BOX_HEIGHT WITHOUT USER INPUT
(command "move" cab_top "" "0,0,0" (list (0 0 (box_height) "")
;--THIS PART IS OKAY
(setvar "CLAYER" oldlayer) ;restore active layer
(setvar "BLIPMODE" 1)
(setvar "OSMODE" 135)
a routine that has the option to break vertical or break horizontal, depending on the option, the lines that cross either the horizontal or vertical (again, depending on the option) a specified distance (say .05) on either side of the line you wanted to keep. So if I choose BREAKH, the vertical lines that I choose would break any horizontal lines that cross them. Same applies to BREAKV. Hopefully I communicated clearly enough.
