I am using AutoCAD LT 2013 to create figures (drawings) to be published. So I need the text within my figures to adhear to our publishing conventions. This means I need to be able to insert an 'en dash' (a dash that is slightly longer than a hyphen).
En dash (–)
Hyphen (-)
Draw text box, click on symbol option, select 'other' and insert through the character map.However it still only inserts a hyphen.
how to actually make this work, it is quite a large stumbling block and will create a huge amount of extra work if I am unable to do this in AutoCAD. It seems like a very basic text requirement.
I am drawing pipiing Iso's. I have a bunch of iso blocks that are drawn on layer "0". At each end of the iso, I have the last few pieces on a layer that has a thin line weight and a hidden dashed line. The blocks are are changing color wih the layer change, but not showing the line type of that layer. Lines and circles of the same size are showing the hidden dashes. (scale is good)
Also, I clicked on the block and try to change the ltscale in the property box it gives me the calculator but won't let me apply any changes. How to get my blocks to dash?
What would be the easiest way to create a 3-dash line for a drawing?
I have a user with a need for a 3-dash line. Like a phantom line but with 3 dashes.
I know how to edit the pen-up, pen-down settings in a .lin file. But then what would be the best way to handle the new line when it is sent to the client? Would I need to create a custom line file and sent it with the .dwg files or could I edit the acad.lin file? Would the receiver run into problems with missing linetypes?
Had this drawing sent to me , and I always like to show the lighting switch lines dashed, but the guy who did this drawing had all his lines solid, anyways I have tried to change them but no matter what line i choice non of them show up as dashed in paper space or when printed?
I have added just part of the drawing as it was to big for the whole drawing to upload here
lts.jpg what is the LTS scale factor or value to set at for paper space scale 1/8"=1'?, the hidden lines show on Model space but one paper space they show as continious lines, this is not the first time that i came across this issue. (note: when i typed LTS in CAD it said ENTER NEW Lts scale factor <240>
I would like to have two fields in the iproperties and then concatenate them together. Lets say one is the the w.o. or project number and the other is the drawing number. I would like to have a third iproperty that concatenates them together seperated with a dash (EX. 200970-301).
Many is the time that I need to have hidden, or dashed lines added to a drawing. I do this by putting LTYPE in the command line then loading the dash or hidden line that I want. The problem is that long after I have done this, I get a dashed line on any line that I attempt to draw. Even if I dimension something, the arrows and lines are also dashed lines. I go back into Modify Properties and LTYPE and attempt to delete the line types that I have added and I am not allowed to delete them.
I can not get certain linetypes to start with the same dash length, see attached. The linetype will start with a longer dash then the stated length, depending on the length of the pline segment. Is there a way to fix this?
Here is the code for one of the linetypes highlighted:
how can i do dash dot line in photoshop in ANY angle ?
line like ". ... . ... . ..." - i can do that in horizontal or vertical by filling the selection but if i want it in some weird angle i just cant find a way. stroking a path doesnt seem to help. and also, i dont want to rotate the horizontal line that i can do cos its not so sharp then. i need it completely sharp. something like patterned line... is there such thing or work around on this ?
Does anybody know how to make a dash line in Photoshop (I have CS2)? I've already read something about creating a custom pattern and then stroke a path with it. But is there any simplier (and more accurate) way- for example some brush setting?
Is there a way to draw a dash line that follows the curve in Photoshop (See image)? I know how to make a dotted line, but not a dash line, in photoshop.
Is there any easy way in Photoshop CS3 or later Extended to create "dotted or Dask" rectangles? I am talking about the border of the rectangle to be "dotted or dash" line rather usual line? If there is any Action script (free) that will be fanatic.
I write a program, this program needs to insert some standard illustrations. I made these standard illustrations into different blocks. And I store these blocks in a dwg file. Everytime I need to insert some illustrations, I just click the mouse on the current drawing, I want the illustration inserted. These means the following points:
(1) Import the blocks to the current drawing, if the blocks have already been imported, then do nothing.
(2) Specify the insert point by clicking the mouse, and I want the block's insert point to coincide with the mouse clicking point.
When I preserve the dash like this The first dash doesn't start at the beginning of the path...
So I looked up how to reverse the path and found this [URL] but my object options don't have the "reverse path" option
EDIT: I just realized that changing the direction of the path wouldn't work because it would mess up when it's too close to another path (although I still would like to know how to flip the direction regardless).
I am trying to insert OS Tiles into a drawing using the insert x-ref command. I have managed to insert 192 tiles but still need to add 29 more tiles to complete. When I try to insert another x reference AutoCAD just goes into a continual loop. Have to force AutoCAD to crash after ten minutes.
I am using AutoCAD 2014 MAP and have just had a new system built (i5 processor, 8GB RAM).
I have been trying to insert a dwf file into a dwg file, so that I can do some work on the map, so that I can then print out the new data, overlaid on the older, dwf data.
I am aware that I'd not be changing the contents of the dwf file.
My problem: AutoCAD Map keeps crashing when I zoom out to include the dwf file in my field of view, or when I zoom in to begin my work.
This is not one or 2, or even 5 crashes. I'm up to 15+ crashes now.
I've stripped all unnecessary components, turned on, unlocked, thawed all layers, removed all unneeded items. I've run purge, audit, recover, saved for each event, so as to not lose the data once the crash occurs.
My last attempt was to take a brand new map, with no data at all, and then attach the dwf file. Once I'd done that, saved the attach operation, I went to zoom to extents so I could begin the work, and-- you guessed it-- Map3D crashed!
I've filled out more error reports than my colleague who uses ArcGIS by ESRI, and they're constantly crashing.
While the dwf file was originally located on another server, due to a sufficient number of crashes yesterday afternoon, I decided to copy the file to the same file location as the dwg map so to reduce the possibility of restrictions on the server that AutoCAD would not cope with.
I simply want to do some overlay work-- which at this point will consist of just copy/pasting data-- to the dwf map file.
We face a serious problem: when we insert jpg-images by reading their associated jgw world file the images are positioned in a different way (starting point, rotation) then when we do this by using ArcGIS or GDAL-software. We use RasterDesign 2011 on Acad Map 3D 2011.
I have a user who has AutoCAD LT 2013 SP2 installed. When he tries to insert a link (Insert > Data > Link) the application bugs/stops responding. He then has to stop the application via the Task Manager.
I design agricultural irrigation layouts using AutoCAD 2013, and have found a need to load Geotiffs into autocad to aide the designs. is there a way to insert a Geotiff so that it sits in the right place "inworld" ?
I have to write a procedure for insert a block with attributes from an external file and set the annotative scale block to current scale. where I cand find an examples?
