When trying to place a construction line through an intersection the line offsets depending on where the cursor is placed. When the on screen prompt ask to specify through point. It defaults to 0 and I enter in 45'. It comes back invalid. believe this is a snap setting somewhere but I cant seem to find it.

Everything is on one layout/sheet.
Currently there are a total of 3 viewports in an L formation. The fourth viewport, will go in the upper right. But first, I have to get these aligned.
I think the viewports themselves are fine enough. The problems arise because the model is in Model space so, construction line (as far as I can tell) didn't want to snap to a line, (on the model,) in Paper space.(vertical or horizontal) So, I can only see the construction line, in one viewport at a time. Which means, the construction line is not visible in the viewport immediately to the left. So, I can't extend the construction line across both viewports, to to snap them to the construction line.

View 9 Replies View RelatedForm Autocad 2000 to 2012, there is always with this problem. It happens sometimes in object snap, it does not work to snap a intersection point (two crossed lines) when drawing a line or arc or others. For sure, these two lines are in the same plan and can be filleted or chamfered. So I turned on the Apparent intersection, it works with apparent intersection point, I am not sure if this apparent intersection will cause other problem. I am working on pure 2-D drawing, do not want to get any 3D objects inside the drawing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI get inconsistent results when I try to use the object snap to a point such as an intersection in an xref. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Even the "nearest" doesn't seem to recognize the xref consistently. Is there a way to insure that the point is recognized?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have problem with placing origin of ordinate dimensions on point where two centerlines are intersecting.
In my particular case I have rectangle and centerlines are in the middle of pararel edges. So they are crossing eatch other in the center of rectangle.
I need to place origin for ordinate dimensions in this point. But till now I had not find any way to do that except make a skkech and draw a line that's one end is exactly in the point I want. But it seems to me like rather ridicules aolution.
Is there any way of snapping to an intersection of a surface and a mesh or even the intersection of two surfaces?

It works fine when I turn off the visibility of the layer the file is on but I am trying to "trace" over the image with line segments.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have this problem with construction lines - maybe it's a misunderstanding of how they're supposed to work on my part. (And I know they're kind of old school and I should use some direct input probably for some things, but I like 'em )
If I click out in blank space, they seem to always act fine - that is, they'll rotate to any degree based on a next point or go ortho if that's turned on.
But, if I click first on a snap (any type, mid, end, etc), then move my mouse somewhere else to pick a second point, SOMETIMES the xline slides along along with my cursor, staying aligned to one of the two ortho directions. It does NOT stay fixed at the first point picked and additionally, will not go to any other angle (regardless of where the second point is). Sometimes it works okay when I start from a snap.
Ortho, Polar, etc all have no effect on this behavior.
I am trying to suppress features or Extrusions if the extrusions are outside of the Raduis of a contruction circle Called the OTL. I have added a model to look at. So lets say I have holes enougth for a 40" dia but I want only hole today for a 20" dia how do i suppress the holes on that radius. Sketch 10 is where the OTL contruction line is and its a radius so its always moving as I go from center out.

I have a drawing file in AutoCADMap 3D 2011 consists of some administrative boundaries and city boundaries. Now I have roads of multi line style in the same drawing. When I completed the drawing I noticed there were missing intersections and I wanted all the roads to look something like the drawing shown below.
Please look into the word file thats how I wanted to do intersection in my drawing. Is it possible to do this action in one command or tool.
This is how my drawing looks like. This is how I want the drawing to be.
In Regis you copuld use the "clean"command to break each line at an intersection. What command or function must I use in AutoCad 2013? I wish to break the lines at each intersection in order to import the lines into a GIS application. I am currently drawing in 2D.

I was looking for a post on the subject of line and circle intersections and found one that Bill Z had posted. I decided to incorperate one of the replies into my own code. In particular Luis Esquivel's code. With some minor modifications I was able to add the onseg argument that extends intersection points for the line to the circle. I also modified it to return only one point or two points depending on the line and circle supplied and the onseg argument. It seems to work great.

I need to snap to guide lines but the only snap I can get is to the endpoint, which results in some very diagonal lines. I actually have ortho turned on because I need only 90 degree angles. Sometimes I need to move an entire line and I would like it perfectly lined up to the guideline. The line being moved is part of a polyline.
I sometimes do need to start or end at an endpoint but how do I do that then also snap to just anywhere on the guideline while maintinaing a 90 degree angle?

i want to snap this line to where it would be at a tangent to the arc (as right), but as you see (left) when i hover with TAN snap it picks a tangent from the pick point, not from object's orientation.
at the moment i construct a tangent by rotating a copy of my line by 90°, and snapping it to centre of the arc. then extend out past arc, where the intersection is now the point i originally wanted to pick. make sense? gotta be a better way!
What distinction is between “intersection” and “apparent intersection” in snaps,. I’m not sure what difference is between the “intersection” and “apparent intersection” in snaps.

I am trying to create an intersection design using the Intersection Tools in C3D 2012. I followed the steps in the tutorials, created a corridor on the major road, splitted the regions, created the intersection and added it to the major road corridor, and connect the regions with the intersection portion.
I used the same assembly throughout the design just for simplicity, however, i notice that there are gaps of curb between the curb return section and the through section (as outline in red rectangles).
I have autocad 2011.I am trying to get my autocad to snap to the closest line.
I draw a pline at a 45 degree angle. I press enter and I click the starting point again (in this instance the bottom point) and I draw another line near the other one, the nearest snap indicator shows up, but when I type "2" (units in Meters) and press "enter" the line is drawn where the cursor is and not along the 45 degree angle.
My goal is to get the second line to follow the first line with a different length.
How do I snap my new line to the edge of another object? A workaround is drawing the line over the object, and snap the point back using intersection snapping. I hope you understand.

I must not be the only one required to produce 2d dwg's for work.
I'm using INV 2009 and our vendor swears up and down in 2012 every thing is fixed, which somehow I doubt since they failed to fix the conversion from idw to dwg in the previous 12-13 releases.
Anyways, my problem today is that the dimiension lines I spent so much time making them meet our industry and company standards in my idw are all wrong in the dwg's I saved.

I want to join a couple of lines with arcs. Unfortunately I have got a dxf created with CATIA. When I try to join them with pedit it does not work.
If I move the end point of the circle away and snap it back to the line, I can join them. Blending the Curves together is working (this shouldn't if the endpoints match, right?)
You can see it in this screenshot:
(On the left the circle and line are joined after I snapped them together, on the right they are connected using "Blend Curves" as you notice the tiny white connection)
So here it leads to my question:
Those lines seem not to be lying end to end together so I can join them. Is there a function to snap them together or to automatically ignore/fill such a little gap?
When I use a tool such as 'move'/'select base point' in the sketch environment, I used to be able to select line midpoints.
Is this no longer possible? My constraint options seem to be fine.
