Im making a window that is 300” I divide it up into 9 equal parts autocad lt 2012 divides it up @ 31 1/8” that is 280 1/8”.
The mullions are two inches wide and there is 10 of them that equals 20” the caulk joints are 3/8” there are two of them that equals 3/4".
So 280 1/8” + 20” = 300 1/8” + 3/4 “ = 300 7/8”
I'm trying to add dimensions to my 3d drawing and can get it to work sometimes and sometimes I can't.
I attempt to do a dimension from the base of a pole to a ground anchor 32' away.
I receive the following message: Oblique, non-uniformly scaled objects were ignored. Specify dimension lin locaiton or
{Mtext/Text/Angle}
I belive it has something to do with getting the UCS set up correctly, I've re-oriented my UCS several time and get no dimensions.
I am using it for producing 2D drawings for some simple prototyping.
I am having trouble with two things - Adding dimensions for when I print the image. At the moment I can add dimensions using the constraint tool but I cant seem to find a way to add concise dimensions specifically for printing.
Also is there a feature or a format that I can make 2d images specifically for printing? Perhaps there is a file format?
I am having a problem when adding dimensions to my drawings.
The problem is when adding either radius dimension or diameter dimension. When adding dimensions to circles the dimension line goes right through the middle of the circle rather than just touching the edge.
I have had to revise a part that someone else created at some earlier date.They used the ordinate dimensions, which works perfectly and looks good.
I have had to add some holes to this part, but can not figure out how to add more dimensions to the existing ones, outside of deleting the dimensions and dimensioning them all over again.
How do I add more ordinate dimensions to the existing?
I am new to inventor and from a Solidworks background so parts are similar to me.
I am also new to my workplace and part of my job is to clean up and produce some of our CAD files. We are missing drawings from design documentation and I have decided to start there.
How do am I able to add Dimensions into .idw files other than the Retrieve dimensions function?
In other words how can I add dimensions at will?
I'd like to add a dimension from a feature in a detail view to a feature outside the view, exactly like the dimension circled in red below. I cannot find any information on how to do this, but I suspect it is pretty easy!

Except for the detail view. How come I can select the two end points for my dimension, but it wont let me place it?

This is a questions about workflow:
I have a rendering image in PNG format that I want to have dimension. These dimensions will be in all 3 planes.
I want them allinged to object sort of like what you get when you view dimensons in perspective (first arrow is bigger than second arrow text is getting smaller as it goes further away etc.).
Currently I import my image and draw each arrow, each line, slant the text and it looks so-so... not the greatest and it is A LOT OF WORK. Then i print the dimensions to and image and combine the rendering and image in GIMP.
I have a question about Radial dimensions... I am trying to add a piece of text (TYP.) to a Radial Dimension... When I add the text; it makes the text and dim line move further from the arrowhead (see image)
I want to be able to move the text on the dimension closer to the arrowhead without actually exploding it... my current solution is to separate the text (TYP.) from the dimension (see image)
Is there a variable or setting to shorten the length of the dim line on the dimension?
I have programs that at some point or another create dimensions for what was drawn. When you have a vertical dimension that doesn't fit between the extension lines, it will either go up and to the right or down and to the left.
I can change it manually by selecting the dimension and then right click and pick Dim Text position > Move with leader.
What I want to know is, is there a way to set the vertical dimension where you want it programatically? I would like to put the vertical dimension down and to the right of the arrows if possible.
I am finally getting time to do some organizational cleanup and management with our templates and vault settings. Many of the things are items that I am altering for each drawing/model I make and I would like to make them "stick" for the company standards. Things like altering font size in the styles library, adding part dimensions to the parameters for the parts list, and creating a new content central library where our part numbers are already populated for the parts list and the structural shapes have datum planes in the middle rather than just at beginning and end.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in Illustrator CS6 to drawn an object (random shape), copy and paste a duplicate object and then add or subtract 1/4" from all sides of the duplicate object?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to find a way to add "perspective" to grouped objects that include a bitmap and other drawn objects. I can convert everything to a bitmap in needed. What I need this for is I engrave this grouped artwork onto drinking glasses and I have to adjust the artwork for the differences in the diameter of the glass. I need to be able to set the width of the top of the artwork with a numeric value and the bottom with a different numeric value.
An example of the problem with the engraving is that if I wanted to engrave a one inch square half way down the glass I would have to make the top of the square 1.1 inches wide and the bottom of the square 1.2 inches (the math is not right with this example) so a trapezoid turns into a square once engrave on the tapered glass.
The image below shows a sample of the artwork I need to engrave. The right side image is an exaggerated example of what the artwork would need to look like to work right once engraved. I could only adjust the black ring but not the text or image in the center. The third image is to show a trapezoid.
I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 any way I can make exploded dimensions in an old drawing become live dimensions again.

i have to dimensions a drawing where theres a lot of aligned dimensions to put and to do it manualy each time takes forever...

Also be sure to pick the 'aligned dimension' method and not the 'linear dimension'. I hope that works in Revit as it does in AutoCAD.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi am adding some new stuff to a print we got for my building. my issue is that when in model space i go to add a new dimension and the arrows are huge and the measurement is way off. the old dimension are smaller but say there length is greater. i have the dimstyle set right i believe. even when i take my new dimension and match properties the length is still wrong.

I export my ipt to an stl (and I make sure that I click on options before I convert and make sure the units are in mm) yet the units are still off. I am using Inventor 2013.
It seems like most people were able to solve their problem by clicking on options but even that seems like it is not working for me.
Sometimes I like my dimensions to be in all inches ( 24" ) and most of the time I prefer feet/inched ( 2'-0" ) Where do I change this in the dimension style setting or properties?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow to round down dimensions. I see some topics with writing LISP codes to do it but I have Autocad LT and those cant use LISP codes right? Ive also been looking into the Round off variable in the Primary units for the dimension style but its a little confusing. What I want to do is just round down my dimension at the given precision.
Lets say I have my precision set to .000 (even though I may have dimensions with .00) I want my dimension of 2.875500 to round down to 2.875 and not up to 2.876 then I also have a dimension of 2.90952929 and I want that to round down to 2.909 and I can not find a way of getting both of these to round down with the same setting on the same dimension style. Basically I just want to truncate my dimensions.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some aligned dimensions in model space - they look ok, text is oriented according to WCS. Also I have some viewports with UCS (I used commands UCS, PLAN) where dimensions look wrong, text is not oriented correctly. Is it possible to "update" dimension in viewport to orient text as in model space?
Programmatically created dims in viewports oriented as in model space, not considering current UCS.

When I do so with the DIMLINEAR command by picking the start/end points then the distance away from the line, all I get is three lines, there are no arrow heads or text showing the distance. I looked at the properties inspector and arrow heads are enabled.
