I have been sent 2 CAD files and need to add measurements to certain parts of the drawings. How to add measurements to a drawing and then print the drawing with these measurements?

Found out that the d18 parameter was a fixed number. I managed to change it manually by changing the G_L parameter to d18.How can I set up my inventor to update the part length automatically?
I'd like to create a lisp that would check my drawings for stray vertices (I only draw in full measurements per UCS), and automatically round them up to the closest whole value, or at least mark them up in circles for manually fixing them.

The drawing is copied from another file which I did not create.
What’s the typical width indicated by the red line shown in the drawing below on a scaled A1 title block?
100mm or 50mm
I want to have the ability of take measures on my profile view.
The tool would consider the vertical exaggeration and give me the right distance and slope .

I have change my units from mm to meters but when I make any drawings it apears 1000 or 100 when I really want 1.00 meters, how do I change this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI opened up my AutoCAD LT 2010 this morning at work and went to work on an existing file only to notice I have lost the ability to type in measurements. Meaning, when I go to draw a line I don't have that option to just type in 2.00 or whatever measurement I need. Same with drawing a rectangle or fillet; the down arrow prompt has dissappeared and I no longer can specify length by width (or radius/dia with fillet). Did I accidently hit something to cause this to dissappear?

These are the specs:
Page Size = A4
Page Boarder = 1cm
Layout of pics = 3 rows x 3 columns
Number of pictures per page = 9 (rectangular)
Picture frames = 50mm all round (except bottom = 1cm)
Space between frames = 50mm
What I want to know is how big (in mm) should the pics be in order for them to fit on the page?
I try to work it out using guidelines and grids but it just ends up getting way too complicated!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am unable to use properly CorelDRAW X4 due to measurement issues.I have a simple document I wish to work on with size 20,45cm x 15,40cm
I first create a new empty file (A4). Then I click on the empty working area and select on the toolbar the measure of the area (where I already find 210 cm and 297 cm). I try to change the measure from 210 to 180 (as example) and after I type 180 and press enter the value changes to 1,800 cm and the working area becomes very very big.
I am unable to obtain what I need.I do not understand the behavior of this software and do not know what to do.I tired to delete Corel user profile but nothing has changed.The software has always worked properly. My OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using a shared computer at a university and we just upgraded to CS6. When I use the line tool while making a mask a box pops up which measures the line's length and angle.
I want to turn it off, and it blocks being able to see what I am trying to mask. I've tried looking this up online and in Photoshop but I just don't know the correct terminolgy, i.e. what to call it, to find out how to turn it off.
here is a jpg screenshot:[URL]....
how to tell photoshop what measurements my image are. But how do I ensure that these measurements will be used when printing?
HOw can I know ahead of time that a certain portion of my image will print.
I have a template (.psd) that looks like this..Now I can see the image height and width by going to IMAGE, then IMAGE SIZE. But what I need to do is see the template measurements (where the blue lines are) so I can adjust thing like spine width. I am so completely lost here. I have no clue how to do that or where in the menu to look.
This template was created for me by someone I knew, but he has since moved out of town and I cannot get ahol of him. A bindery has given me dimensions as follows: Spine width = 1-15/16" , Front cover = 6-15/16" , Back cover = 6-15/16" , Height = 10-1/4"
I need to adjust my template accordingly. God only knows how. Or maybe I can create a new template, but I'm lost there too. Yes, I have read numerous web pages and even watched some videos, but none have covered my actual issue.
I'm in need of dimensions of some of the graphics I've made however when exporting to png the dimensions include shadow lengths.
I need the width/height of the object minus shadow. Is this something that can be determined within xara?
I have PSPro X.Often when I capture an image, figures show which I presume is the image size measurements.What can I do to avoid these figures being seen in the screen capture target area.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to use the guides to make a triangle and everything was fine until I used a third guide on one of the triangles points (2 guides; 1 at 90 degrees and 1 at 60 degrees). When I used the dimension tool on it to measure from the bottom of the page to that point, the measurement did not match the numbers in the 90 degree guide's info. It was like .0000007 or .00000007 inches off. I know that's not much but I really needed precision for my particular drawing and I dont know how to get more accurate measurements with the program rounding to the nearest 6th decimal place (the highest setting on drawing precision). If it says it's centered in the intersection, then why do I see a tiny micro right triangle when I zoom in?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAny good way to convert decimal values to fractions for use in inch measurements? I have a script that works great but it returns values like 5.5638 and I'd rather it return the closest fraction answer like 5 9/16. 1/16ths would be great, but I'd settle for 1/8ths.
I started trying to come up with a large if with lots of > and < conditions, but it might be better not to reinvent the wheel.
Eventually after I copy and paste with the clipboard enough times within one drawing, the ability goes away and I can no longer copy and past one item from one drawing to a separate drawing. I need to use the clipboard function because that is the only way of getting an item from one drawing to another.
I have download a clear clipboard function but it doesn't work. Closing CAD and restarting does not reinstate the function.
I have created an iLogic panel which allows me to control my revision a lot easier and puts my entered data into the parameters of the sheet itself, is there a way to have this show up on the drawing itself for a template?

My Autocad has started a new behavior. When (in Win7) I double-click on a drawing file in Windows Explorer, Autocad opens the drawing file and also starts a new drawing, all in the same session of Autocad. Is there some system variable or Windows variable that controls this?
