AutoCAD LT :: MText Titles And Columns

Mar 15, 2013

Using LT 2011

In MS Word I can have some text that is all in one full width column, then put in a break and have a later section in multiple columns, then a break and go back to one column.

I want to do something similar in ACAD.

Here is how I want it to look.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

1.    LOTS OF BOILERPLATE       2.    LOTS MORE BOILERPLATE

Here is how MText does it.

GENERAL CONDITIONS          2.    LOTS MORE BOILERPLATE

1.    LOTS OF BOILERPLATE

Is there a way to separate sections, or do I need to make the "GENERAL CONDITIONS" part a separate mtext object?

AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Get Mtext Columns To Go From Left To Right

Jul 6, 2012

How do you get MTEXT columns to go from left to right?  The default is left to right.  When the mtext gets to the column limit it creates another column to the right.  I want the column to be on the left.  I've done this 'before and I thought the variable was available in the properties bar but I can't find how to do this anymore.

Right to Left is the way of drawings.

AutoCAD 2010 :: MTEXT Is Rotated When Try To Edit Any MTEXT

Jul 12, 2011

Why is this happening?

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.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: SDF And SHP Columns Sorted Alphabetically

Sep 12, 2011

I created a couple of files and saved each in SHP and SDF file formats.  The only problem I am having is that when I reconnect to these files (in a different autocad file) using FDO and viewing the Data Table the columns are all displayed in alphabetical order, not the order in which they were orginally created.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Extracting More Than 256 Columns

Jun 10, 2013

How in AutoCAD 2012 to be able to extract more than 256 columns worth of attributes per block? 

It keeps giving me an error saying that excel won't allow it... excel has had more columns than 256 since 2007!?!?! 

Or is there a third party extraction tool that I can use that extracts information in the same way the AutoCAD one does?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Manually Adjustable Columns In A BOM

Feb 28, 2013

I'm doing a revision rearrangement and would like to add to the BOM New, Existing, and Relocated properties.  The problem is that each individual component may be unique.  Ie.  I have a desk w/ 3 identical monitors.  One monitor is existing and the others are new.  I'd like to have the BOM show that I have 3 monitors, 2 are new and 1 is existing.  The BOM would have 4 columns, one for the total number of parts and 3 for the New, Existing, and Relocated counts. 

I don't mind if the new columns need to be manually updated.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Add Beams To A Layout Of Columns

Sep 29, 2011

I have been trying to add beams to a layout of columns and some of them (not all) are behaving oddly.  Instead of the beam trimming square at the side of the columns, the column and beam are joining with a mitered connection.  The same is happening with some of the intersecting beams...a 45 degree miter on each beam.

There must be some setting that I have inadvertantly changed but I cannot find what it is.  Changing trimming parameters in the Properties panel that seem like they should be involved, has no effect.  And neither does cycling, via the Control key, the connection parameter when the beams are placed.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Auto-changing Values In BOM Columns

Nov 2, 2011

Is there any way that values in BOM columns would automatically change depending on the characteristics of the part?

Example:

I have a parametric metal rod that depending on its length has a different part number assigned to it in our company's catalog.

When I change its length  in parametric assembly (50" rod is has different number than 70" rod) I want the part number to change as well in the "part number" column.

How to get columns working in a multi line attribute.

I changed system variable ATTIPE (attribute in place editor) to 1 which added the extra formatting options but the columns button is greyed out. As a work around I just use tab stops but columns would be better if possible.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Creating Voids In Walls For Columns?

Sep 4, 2013

I have a series of 3d walls in autocad Architecture 2012 and an existing CAD 2d structural column layout.

I need to remove/cut or trim the wall around the HSS columns on a floor plan. The walls show the consttruction of the wall and I can't seem to create a void or mass to cut out around the column. Is there an easy way of doing this so that I can just place this in a block to auto cut the wall. My hope was to create a column block so that I can just drop the HSS columns wherever i want them.

I know i can use a wipeout to clear the area however, that is not ideal as we have other linework that need to be visible.

AutoCad :: Layers To Draw Some Columns / Beams And Slab

May 18, 2011

I just downloaded a student version of Autocad for a uni assignment.upload a drawing/template I could use as a template.

I just need appropriate layers to draw some columns / beams and slab with basic reo in Metric format (model will be drawn in mm's). A simple A3 layout with title block would also be nice

I have tried googling for template downloads but all I got was a bunch of sites telling me how to make my own (rather not waste my time) and that Autocad should have come with some available (none had more than 2 layers).

AutoCAD Inventor :: CC Published Parts - (VARIES) In Columns?

Nov 4, 2011

I noticed on my parts list that I had an item that was listed as *Varies* in the description, and part # columns I have set.  Seen it before, so I went to my BOM and saw that it's a part that I've published to the CC.

Thought, OK, go and replace the 12 parts that I needed to.  Tried the "Replace All" and it still came up on my BOM as *Varies*.

Went through and replaced each part in the assembly one at a time.  Still shows up in BOM as *Varies*.

I thought that when I publish parts to the CC, they become Read-Only, and I can't edit any of the iProperties or the part itself.

In the attached BMP, I've cut out the offending row in my BOM.  All the columns are greyed out to where I can't edit anything, as designed...

Why would these published parts come up as *Varies* in 2 of my columns if the values I've set when I published them would never change??
