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" ?
View 8 RepliesI have GIS data imported from an ArcSDE database that are the base to rubbersheet scans of legacy maps for georeferencing. The native coordinate system for the database is HARN/CA.CA/Teale which appears in my MAP 3D coordinate systems and seems to be a well known system. For simplicity's sake, I would prefer to operate in the native coordinate system of our GIS database. After I get the map image georeferenced I try to use the EXPORT IMAGE routine from the Raster Design menu to save the image for future use, but there's no entry for HARN/CA.CA/Teale in the PROJECTED selection for the GEOTIFF export option. I have been able to export it from the GEOGRAPHIC 2D selection as LL83 coordinates, but when I try to reference that image in a drawing having a different coordinate system (CA-III for instance) no transformation is performed.
Does Raster Design truly understand and translate from one coordinate system to another? I have a suspicion the Raster Design doesn't reference the same coordinate system library the Map 3D does. Is there some secret location where I need to copy the coordinate system file? I've had no problem referencing DWG files from different coordinate systems in MAP 3D.
We have some clients that are using version 2011 and we are using 2014. The landxml we made for them was too big for them to import. My boss made a DEM GEOTIFF to send as it was much smaller.
The client has called me and asked me how the heck does he import the file as he as never worked with them. I have a computer with a 2012 installation, but it's corrupt, none of the MAP utilities work.
how to instruct my client to import this file.
created any script to read GeoTIFF files in order to insert them into a DWG drawing.
I've got a great deal of GeoTIFF files, and I don't want to insert them manually.
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.
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).
trying to insert point instead of block.
(setq blok (entget (car (entsel))))
(setq point (cdr (assoc 10 blok)))
(setq XX (rtos (car point) 2 20)) ;; x koordinata bloka
(setq YY (rtos (cadr point) 2 20)) ;; y koordinata bloka
(setq ZZ (rtos (caddr point) 2 20)) ;; z koordinata bloka
(command "point" xx,yy,zz) is not working
!xx="5582453.414999999" but when i (atoi xx) i get 5582453 no dedimals...
how to create valid insertation point from xx, yy and zz?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
The jgw-file looks like this:
0.116411954910561
0.0788005361703199
0.138141909607477
-0.146095373532603
30912.0675618482
390387.121812212
So we have following questions:
Is it possible that AcadMap/rasterDesign handles a jgw-file different when it is made by other software (you would assume standardization)?
Would a rectangular pixel-size have influence?

View 2 Replies View Relatedis there a way to insert a block in the drawing, but with a different name, so it can be edited separately?
I have block A in the drawing and i want to insert it again, but then edit it while the ones already inserted stay unchanged. So i would need it to be inserted as A_1.
I defined a 3d block..It is defined along X axis...I want to insert it into a ucs by picking 2 points( insertion, and direction) and that Block Z axis to be parallel with UCS z axis
I insert the block first then I rotated it..I have got this
P1 is insertion poit
P2 is the point for direction
P1 world is p1.transformby(current ucs)
Dim Xax_block As Vector3d = Block1.BlockTransform.CoordinateSystem3d.Xaxis.TransformBy(Block1.BlockTransform)
Dim VectorP12 As Vector3d = P1_world.GetVectorTo(P2_world)
Dim RotAX As Vector3d = Xax_block.CrossProduct(VectorP12) ' here is calculating the perpendicular vector between x axis of the block and the vector from point1 and point2
Dim Rotation1 As Double = Xax_block.GetAngleTo(VectorP12)
Block1.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Rotation(Rotation1, RotAX, P1_world))
By picking 2 points is inserting the block along the line between 2 points...But is not having as normal the z axis of the ucs..

I am currently looking into the API for Inventor 2012 in order to try and automate a few processes that we do within our comapany.
What I am trying to do is access the functionality that the "Insert Frame" or Frame Generator function brings to Inventor by using the API. The basic functionality that I am looking for is to be able to draw a steel beam from Inventors library by using the API, similar to the way the "Insert Frame" command handles it. Is this possible? I have looked into the API documentation but cannot find anything.
I am inserting a block from another file to the current drawing file.
I am using C#.Net.
My block gets added into the blocktable record of the current file, but while inserting the block using the "Block" command in AutoCAD its shows an error "The Existing Block has not been modified" I have attached a screenshot of the message i am getting.
I want to insert the block automatically to a user specified location.
