AutoCAD LT :: Old Style 2 Point Spline Curve
Nov 24, 2013
Spline curve command has changed. This is terrible as I used to use simple line types to show different things on my drawings that was rapid fast with custom macros etc. Now the spline curve command does not work in same way costing me hours of time wasted. I have now resorted in saving all incoming drawings to older version and completing my drawings that way. Only problem is the new drawings are growing above the capabilities of my old machine.
How can I initiate the old std 2 point spline curve in the new software so it works the same way as old version?

Can I create A B-Spline curve and a NURBS curve in the Adobe Illustrator?
If yes, how to do it?
Also, how to create a breakpoint, that will add a new control point, on a curve, in Adobe Illustrator?

When I create a curve using spline on the screen I have noticed that often the curve between the points of the spline will become as straight lines. When I click on a point the curve appears again as normal and as I wanted. Any way to stop it from happening? Is this simply a characteristic of AutoCAD or something I am doing wrong? Does the curve appear as desired when plotted? The curves I am referring to are sections of a ships hull.

How to pattern a feature along a spline curve so that the resultants are separated by an equal linear distance (chord length), rather than as a function of the spline curve's length?

How to set a default point style for point groups? Whenever I import survey points, I always put them into their own point group, so I can display each day's worth of survey data differently. For some reason, the point style always defaults to a certain style (our control point symbol). I'd like it to default to Basic, so I don't have to change this every time. Is it a template drawing setting somewhere?

Path array of a point on spline, I’m wondering why the path array of a particular point on the spline doesn’t force the points to lie on the spline itself!

How to find the inflection point of a spline???
I create a spline from a list of points and want to know where the curve of the spline changes to be able to dimension this point, it is not necessarily a point that is entered.

It's possible in maya to sweep a profile along a closed curve? Like in 3DsMax, for example to make a window frame with a particular section profile?

Basically I want to duplicate an object along a spline. Sure there's the spacing tool, but listen what the problem is. I want to keep it parametric so that I can pick the path, duplicate the object along it, tweak the distance between the clones, vary the size of the clones, and possibly animate them.
Workaround I've tried:
1- pFlow, not handy / not the actual solution I'm looking for.
2 - Railclone: the lite version works fine, but it works only with flat splines (i.e. moving the points on the z doesn't affect the duplication).
3 - Path Constraint: it's ok, but to make it work I had first to constraint the single mesh, then array it. After the last step there's no other control over the cloned meshes.
4 - Path Deform: it's the closest solution, unfortunately the mesh can get annoying distortions, haven't found a way to avoid them.

While tracing a tree image using splines for a school project i have run into some problems...I am creating a pattern for a plasma cutter.
When i move the points of my spline sometimes it causes the whole spline to randomly move around and twist and turn where there are no points. Also sometimes when i open the drawing some of the spline lines are out of place while the spline points have not moved.I have tried to constrain all the points but it turned into a mess.How can i stop this from happening?

I am developing a tool that will allow a user to select a curve, and dump out the points at given intervals along said curve.
This works well for 2D objects.
If I have a line from 0,0,0 to 10,0,1
it outpus
0, 0, 0
0.9950, 0, 0.0995
1.9901, 0, 0.1990
What I want it to output is the point at the interval (2D plane, with the elevation)
0, 0, 0
1, 0, 0.1
2, 0, 0.2
etc
Is there a way a function I can use that would allow this, or do I need to write my own function?

I find intersection of two curves with interop
Dim Zinters As Object = DuvarObj.IntersectWith(MainObj, AcExtendOption.acExtendNone)
then pass the intersection points pt1 and pt2 to managed code to get length of the curve between two intersection points , but I realized that sometimes decimal numbers maybe 10th after comma is different than the curve's start or end points. And so the code below throws error, since point pt1 or pt2 is not exactly on the curve, but they are the intersection points excatly.
What can I do?
Dim dist1 As Double = ent.GetDistanceAtParameter(ent.GetParameterAtPoint(pt1))Dim dist2 As Double = ent.GetDistanceAtParameter(ent.GetParameterAtPoint(pt2))

We are upgrading from LDD2008 to Civil3D 2013. I'm working on a Civil3D template
I'm setting up line and curve label style. Oringally we were going to have one set of line label style. Ex. Bearing Above or Bearing Below. After seeing that the line labels does not look at the current text style we decided to make copies of the original label styles based on Text Styles.So now I have Bearing Above60, Bearing Above100, etc. I named them based on the Leroy styles and sizes.
After editing each one and changing the Text Style each one looks at, it is not using the Texting Style i assign it. I'm doing this in the General Tab and Text Style for each label style.
i guess I should have tested before creating all them to find out it didn't work.Does it need to be done somewhere else or is do I have to do something with the overall label style overrides?

Is there a way one can draw a point array on a curve without starting from the beginning of the curve? I want to place point objects at equal intervals on a curve, but starting at a certain distance from the beginning of the curve.

Coming from Sketch up to real big boy tools. I watched the tutorial videos and tried poking around a bit for this specific answer but came up a bit short.
What I'm trying to do is loft a face to a point. Easy enough. I've got my point established on an offset work plane, and I can just loft to that, however, I get nothing but straight lines. (First attachment)
An example of the ideal outcome in SketchUp is the second attachment.
I'm having the most difficulty trying to draw the curves along which I want the face to be lofted because, even as I sketch along my 2D plane, I can't snap the endpoints of my arcs to the endpoints of the face (or the point to which they'll all connect).

I'm trying to create an external involute spline (ANSI B92.2M) Fillet Root Side Fit 26.9mm x 1 mm x 26 teeth x 38 mm long using the spline generator with Inventor 2012. I created a test shaft"M-182-AMA.ipt" that is Ø26.9 mm x 38 mm long with 1 mm radius on each end of shaft.
I use the following steps:
1. After creating component "M-182-AMA.ipt" I select Design tab>>Power Transmission>>Involute Spline.
2. A window appears that has the caption "Involute Splines Connection Generator".In the Dimensions section I choose "Splines Type: ANSI B92.2M - 37.5 deg, Fillet Root, Side Fit, 26 x 1.00 x 38 x 5H/5h" and change the Length to 38 mm.
3. In the Shaft Groove section I use Create new, and I push the Reference 1 button that turns blue, I then select the od feature from the model and I get an error(see attached pic "error1.jpg).
I changed the 26.9mm od to be 27mm and it still gave me the error.

I want to find the intersection point between a cylindrical curve and faces in a body. I have the start point an start vector and a rotational velocity. With this values it should be possible to create this cylindrical curve.
Is there a function in inventor which I can use?
Currently I am using the function "FindUsingRay". But I thing that there is only the possibility to fire a linear function through the body.
Today I found the command "FindUsingVector":
Sub FindUsingVector(OriginPoint As Point, Direction As UnitVector, ObjectTypes As SelectionFilterEnum(), ByRef UseCylinder As [defaultvalue(-1)] Boolean, ByRef ProximityTolerance As [optional] VARIANT, ByRef VisibleObjectsOnly As [defaultvalue(-1)] Boolean, ByRef LocationPoints As [optional] VARIANT,
I did not find any information in the "Autodesk Programming help". what is the difference between this both functions?
Is the argument "UseCylinder" for a switch into cylindrical coordinate system?

I'm using AutotCAD Civil 3D 2012 in the Civil 3D workspace, trying to create a point label style to show what I need it to show. I click on a point and select it's properties. Once on the properties tab I go down to the point label style box and clicked on the down arrow. A list of options then comes up and I selected the create/edit option. A small point label style box then appears and i choose the button directly next to the drop-down list and the label style composer box pops up. In this box I go to the layout tab and then go down to the contents box. I select the browse button next to the contents to select the contents. I select the contents I want but when I apply it every point has those contents and I need just that one point to have those contents.

I'm using Map 2013 and not seeing how to choose to use an expression to rotate symbols of attached shp data (see attached png file). I see where you can put in a numeric value but that's all. Maybe I am just not seeing something?
The "help" says you should be able to use an expression to rotate a symbol.

I would like to change the look of the point that I draw ni autocad.
When i draw a point (1 on the joined picture), I can choose different style (point, circle, square, ...) and increase or reduce the size (2 on the joined picture)
point.PNG
but the model stay allways thin, i would like to modify my point to look like the 3 ont the joined picture.
I know that 20 models are allready a lot of choice, but is there a possibility to modify the library of the point?

i have cs6 64bit installed well may i ask some question about photoshop cc?
1) what i miss about photoshop CS5 , is the curve adjustament layer , i loved used the eyedropper + ctrl to add points in the curve is there in cc the possibility to add point in the curve like cs5?or can i set auto select target adjustament tool for curve palete only?
2) photoshop cc add some features
1) content aware in acr
2) a different resize dialog ( i don't know if it uses a new engine to resize)
3) anti shake photo filter i don't need it
i don't know anyother for photographers , i watched the adobe video but sadly i can not download it to watch slower ,english is not my mother language
3) last question well i have to pay for every months to get the update or to have photoshop working
i mean i need always to be connected to the net to use photoshop do i need sometime for example 2 or 3 times in week / month to be connected to the net to use photoshop or photoshop works after online activation with internet , and i need to pay every month to get updates?

Imported points and I have a label style to label tree sizes automatically, but when there are many trees near each other labels start to overlap. So I will typically rotate the label style 180 degree or drag the label, but I am curious if its possible to have label always stay horizontal no matter what my rotation angle is.

i have a building corner point label style that labels the corner of bldgs with the elev on top of an arrow and the full description of a bdlgc on bottom of arrow...rotated at 45 degrees....
i have 3 components...a block of an autocad leader i call an arrow that i just drew from left to rt on layer 0 and named the component arrow...then i have the elevation and the description
problem is that when i rotate label to move it out of way of obstructions it flips the elev on bottom and the desc on top!!
i have tried a number of combinations of anchor pts and changing the "flip anchor pts with text" to true/false under the general tab of the label style composer...
i cant get it!

I have a long animation. I want to use populate at frame 12000. But populate frames won't let me go over 10000 frames. How can I get my people to animate after frame 10000 as you cant adjust the start point in the curve editor.
