AutoCad :: Custom Symbols In MText
Dec 27, 2011I'm in 2006 Map and 2006 LDT
I've had a custom RomanS.shx for the past 15 years that has additional symbols in it that are not in the standard one.
For example:
%%150 = Centerline
%%130 = Delta
%%133 = Property Line
%%201 - 210 = Roman Numerals, and more.
They work great in old style single line text, but they have never worked in MText. I just get a question mark, until last week. The centerline symbol showed up in a piece of text imported from an outside DWG, but I could not figure out how. I could not see what code was there, it totally stumped me, but it got me thinking. Is it possible?
How I can get these characters to show up properly in MText? And not the symbols that are in there via the U+ codes. They look so different than romans that I can not use them.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Romans Symbols In Mtext Do Not Show In The Same Font?
Apr 4, 2011When using TEXT or DTEXT I can add centerline, 1/4, or 1/2 symbols while using the ROMANS font.
It would make sense to me that when I am using MTEXT, this should apply. However when I try to insert the symbols this is what happens: My text style stays the same, but the font gets changed to ISOCPEUR and symbols have a bold type appearance.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Add A List Of External References To MTEXT

Jul 12, 2011Why 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 Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Add List To A List
Jul 15, 2013I have a list -
(setq List1 (list "Line A" "Line B" "Line C"))
I would like to add each item in an existing list to a new list -
(setq ListNew (list "This is some text" "This is more text"
the following is the part I can't figure out - it just adds the list to the list, not the individual items
(mapcar '(lambda (x) x) List1)))
I am looking for ListNew to be - (a list with 5 strings)
"This is some text"
"This is more text"
"Line A"
"Line B"
"Line C"

AutoCad :: 3D Programs For The Symbols
May 19, 2011I am currently working with a company who is attempting to design AutoCAD symbols for an outside food service company.
How common is it to produce 2D symbols as well as 3D symbols? And, if 3D symbols are common, what programs are easiest/best to use?
Additionally, what are the standard set of views for the symbols? Just overhead? Or overhead and profile?
AutoCad :: What To Do With Symbols That Are Not Blocks
May 20, 2011A consultant (of our office roofing department) provided CAD drawings of roofs depicting various roof symbols to represent equipment, this survey was years ago so I had no hands in it. The office roof inspector is hoping I may be able to change all the symbols to be industry standard symbols as the consultant used their own. Originally I told the roofing department it would be easy as I would just write a lisp and a script to change all the symbols to the new blocks...or so I thought.
As soon as I opened one of the consultant's files, those symbols...were not blocks, they were all comprised of lines, circles and hatches. In my frustration, I contacted the consultant and wanted a clarification on this, they simply drew the lines in and copied and pasted the symbols over and over again.
I got 240 drawings to literally update overtime. Each drawing can have an average of 30 symbols. Is there a way for autocad to recognize certain line patterns or hatch patterns (actually only the solids were used) and then store the x,y co-ordinates?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Symbols
Oct 28, 2013Is there a way to update a symbol of one type, without the changes being applied to all symbols of that type in the drawing?
Example: If I have three Flag Note symbol's in my drawing from the same sketch symbol and the text reads 1, is there a way that I can change the text to read 2 in one of them without the other two flag notes updating as well?

AutoCAD LT :: Annotative Symbols Alignment
Feb 14, 2012I'm having issues with annotative symbols jumping around the page. As far as I can tell, it happens on certain symbols when I add a second(or more) annotative scale to that symbol. I can reset the symbols so that they're all aligned and sitting 'on top' of each other, but when I switch to different viewports/plot or save/open the drawing again they've reverted to the position they jump too.
In the past I thought it might be something to do with where the basepoint was within the block, but having changed that, I still had the problem.
Both the blocks I've had it happen with are reasonably simple (one's an 'Auto Air Valve' symbol with a mask behind the lines, the other is a custom 'Section line' symbol although that also has some properties to allow me to extend the section line) objects. With the section line symbol I mirror it to get the second half, which is the half it's having the problem on. I wouldn't expect mirroring an object would do it though.
The odd thing is, it's only happened in some drawings that I've done, and only with some symbols (which were all created at a similar time, so should have the same issues?), so I can't think of what it could be.

AutoCAD .NET :: Inserting MText Into DWG
Jan 27, 2013I'm trying to make a small program in vb.net that creates are laser drawing. So far I was able to create the drawing from a part in inventor. The only left to do is to add the Part Number + description into this drawing. I'm really struggling on this one. I'm currently able to open the drawing and that's all. I've tried many things from examples I found on forums but it's not working. This is a sample of what I have regarding autocad in my program:
Imports Inventor
Imports System.IO
Imports AutoCAD
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput
[Code]...
I need to find a way to add Mtext but I don't find anything that I'm able to use in my program. If any of you know a good reference, or have a sample of code.

Feb 9, 2012I'm wondering if there's a way in AutoCAD Map 3d 2010 to bring in a points shape file and display it along a pipeline but not have the symbols overlap...I see where it automatically has conflict detection for the labeled features I bring in, but somehow want to have control over how the symbols are display on the alignment sheet. Is there a way to stairstep or offset two symbols that overlap or land on top of each other. I have several datasets like metal loss and growth rate I need to show but can't get the data not to overlap...I could do a larger scale but would just end up with tons of sheets.
