AutoCAD LT :: Plines Not On A Layer

Aug 13, 2013

I have these plines that keep appearing in my drawing that are not on a layer (see attached). I have never experienced this before. There are 10x duplicates stacked upon one another surrounding three separate shapes. My theory is that a hatch is creating them. I deleted them and they came back. How do I manage them and their display properties, or better yet, remove them from the drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Sections From 3D Plines

May 20, 2012

I  have a 3d topographic survey plan. I need to take sections at various locations and would like to know the best way of going about this.

I am used to working with solids and so would normally just take a section plane but this won't work as the 3d topographic survey plan I have is made up of polylines.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Can't Join Plines

Aug 20, 2013

A new problem; I can't join these plines. I have tried just 2, selecting them before entering the command but nothing happens. I need the selected line joined with the one on each end that shares that node.

AutoCad :: Adding Lengths Of Plines

Sep 30, 2013

How i'm adding lengths of individual plines...I am running MEP 2013 and lately we've been doing a lot of measuring of plines...The problem i'm having is that we are supposed to add 24' to every length...So if I measure a polyline and it's 10' long, the number i'm supposed to be putting on the drawing would be 34'...Is there a way to create a command that will automatically add what I need to every pline?

AutoCad 3D :: Converting DXF Lines Into Plines?

Jul 1, 2013

So, I am trying to output a solid 3D model of the attached drawing. I traced it and converted it into a dxf, from there I cleaned it up, but cannot pedit. I assume it has to do with the arcs. Cannot find anything on google, so I thought I would turn to you good folks.

AutoCAD VB :: Hatching Multiple Plines

Feb 21, 2012

I have got a recordset that contains a bunch of ehandles for closed plines.  Currently I cycle through the recordset, change each ehandle to an oblject and hatch it.  It works fine, but is a tad slow.  I would like to put all of the ehandles into a selectiion set (maybe?) and hatch them all at one time.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Convert Plines To Splines?

Mar 15, 2012

I searched and saw lots of posts on converting a spline object into a pline, but not the other way around. I like the way that splines can use control vertices or fit points. 

I know that you can apply a spline smoothing to a pline, but what I'd like to do is to convert a pline object into a spline object and splining a pline does not do that.

Any fairly easy way to do this? Are there LISP routines that do this?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Fillet PLines Keeps Original Lines

Dec 13, 2012

I am attempting to fillet plines to make rounded curbs at street intersections. Whenever I create the fillet, the 2 plines that were filleted remain as they were before the fillet.

This only happens on my computer and only in AutoCAD 2011, it works fine in Civil3D 2011. We only have a limited number of Civil3D licenses or I would just use that all the time.

The attached screenshot shows an example of what happens. The 2 red lines are what were filletted (the fillet is in white). Both lines are long enough to accomodate the radius of the fillet.

What is causing this problem?

AutoCad :: Converting Multiple Lines / Arcs Into Plines?

Oct 18, 2011

I've been trying to figure out how to do this. I have a file with 41 drawings, and 7650 objects. and i want all the lines, arcs and circles to be turned into polylines. Now the Mpedit command doesnt really do it for me.

Command: MPEdit
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 4632 found, 10 groups
Select objects:
divide by zero

This is what happens when i write MPEdit, mark everything in my drawing and press enter. Now i also tried marking a line, using select similar, and fixing it that way. but i get the "divide by zero" error aswell.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Make 2D Plines Take On Elevations Of Points At Their Vertices?

May 9, 2012

I know there are different ways to do this.  Would like to know multiple options so I can see which might be quickest for me.

I have points with elevations and 2D plines at elevation zero drawn between them.

I would like 3D plines instead.  This is the easiest way for me to transfer them to another drawing where I will make surfaces with them.  I don't want to have to transfer the points over.

I can redraw the plines as 3D plines but this is time consuming and seems unecessary.

I don't want to have to convert them to Feature Lines either.  I prefer they be 3D polylines.

Is there a simple command for this?  I already have a surface containing the points and lines as surface breaklines.

Is there a project objects to surface command that will make these 2D plines at elev 0 into 3D plines while assigning elevations (and vertices) only at the current vertices?

What about a simple series of commands to convert the 2D plines to 3D plines, then force the 3D pline to take on the elevations of the points at its vertices?  (I think this would be my preference, but don't know any of these commands or where to find them.)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Select Several Plines And Export Their Vertexes

Jun 29, 2012

Yesterday I post the message "Exporting pline and text" which turned out to work realy well.

However I need something else...

I need to select several plines and export their vertexes (as it is already done) BUT I also need to select SEVERAL texts and export them as well as their insertion point coordinates.

I tried with the code below but without any success... It gives the error "; error: ActiveX Server returned the error: unknown name: "TEXT"" This happens after selecting some texts and hiting enter.

Here is the

(defun c:zi5 ( / f i o s ss obj objdata texto texto_f nomebase nome_zi tx1 iPt)(vl-load-com)(setq nomebase (getstring "
Enter name for file:"))
(setq nome_zi (strcat "D:" nomebase "_zi.txt"))
(princ "Select your plines...")
(if (and (setq s (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")))) (setq f (open nome_zi "w")) )

[Code]...

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Label Contour (2D Plines) From Elevation

Nov 21, 2013

Of course with ACAD MAP (FDO Labels for example) or better with ACAD CIVIL : no problem !

But often I have to use a Standard AutoCAD ...

A lots of people have already asked for this routine :

But I search in this forums and some others and unfortunately I can't find any correct routine Full operational on ACAD 201X 32/64 bits

I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem

I would like to label them with :

- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation

- either a MText with a blank Mask behind

As you wish ...

Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?

Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :

Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?

So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...

Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !

AutoCad 2D :: Hollow Plines And When Align A Block Drawing Zoom Extents

Mar 13, 2012

Currently I am using 2010 Map 3d, for water main base plans.

I use Micro Survey to process my field work. From there I open in Cad, import layers from our GIS data base for property, buildings, addresses, etc.

The only thing I have done different is from another project was copy and paste some utility layers.

Now my drawing turns any plines with width into hollow lines, and if align something my drawing will zoom to extents, also text mask does not work and i tried turning text to Mtext and it will not let me select yes for background mask.

All other drawings I check everything works fine.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Layer Group Filters For Layer Translation (LAYTRANS)?

Oct 2, 2013

A drawing with hundreds of layers should be simplified for our customer by decreasing the numbers of and renaming the layers (there is yet no target file existing). In order to solve this, I generated group filters and assigned every single layer to them (all printing properties are assigned to objects). The layer groups show the desired layer structure after the transformation (still a three-digit number).

Unfortunately, the LAYTRANS dialog doesn't let me choose layers by group filters or remarks. It seems as all the work was for the birds.

Is there any way to translate my layers using filters or remarks?

I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.

AutoCad :: Open Layer Manager To Turn On Layer In View Port?

Oct 6, 2011

I have a drawing where I need to open the layer manager to turn on a layer in a view port but cannot get to that particular column. As you look across the top of the layer manager I can see all the headings of each column beginning with "Name", "Status", "On" and so forth. The last column heading I see is "Description" but I need to go even further to the right to get to the column I need to be at but can't get there. There is no scroll button on the bottom of the layer manager which would allow me to do that.
