I have som old drawings of my house in paper. It is not possible to get the orignals on file.
Is there a way to scan and convert the drawings into DWG files?
I am planning a rebuid of the house, and have started the process of making new drawings. It is a bit tedious to draw to hole house again as long as I have the originals on paper, and I own a scanner...
I saw a discussion similar to this in AutoCAD Maps 3D but it did nto apply to this specific problem. I am working in AutoCAD Architecture 2010.
When I erase a line in my drawing, it selects all lines in my drawing (4194 selected) and then says "scan terminated by control-c." Unless I undo this command it does not allow me to click anything in the drawing.
I'm trying to click on a polyline and change the shape of it by dragging it's corners around. So when I do that, and hit escape to exit the "stretch" command, it undos what I did and I get a "Scan Terminated by Control-C" error.
I've tried auditing (0 errors) and saving, closing the drawing and reopening it. Still does the same thing.
I have 3d scan of aircraft door frame (see attach) in point cloud format. I'd like to overlap 5 different frames and construct a new 6th frame by averaging out all of the points.
At the moment, the 3d data files has no surface and I'm unsure if adding surface with the construction of the 6th frame. I will also need to take into consider alignment, point density, and orientation when overlapping all of the frames before I can start work to average all points (Note: each scan are taken from 5 different vehicle).
I have both Rhino3D and Autodesk Alias Design 2012. What are the logical steps to do in this case?
I am working on a research project that requires that I scan a cast object and shell it out to a width of .125 inches. I used my school's 3D scanner to scan the cast, and I have a good model. I've made it a surface and exported it as an STP and an IGS into Inventor. I used the Sculpt feature to make it a solid object, but then I could not shell it because a few flaws in the cast made miniscule holes.
I then tried to use the scanning program's spline feature to cut the cast into splines to loft in Inventor. However, this made 5 non-connected lines at each location, so I couldn't loft. How to create a solid and then shell with either method?
I just downloaded my trial of inventor suite and before going through learning tutorials I want to find out the general work flow I need in order to see where to focus my attention during these 30 days.I need to be able to do mechanical part and assembly designs built around 3 scan files (mainly provided as .STL files).
1) take the file and orient it to the project axis/plane
2) scale it if needed
3) design components around 3 scan characteristics
4) design modifications to 3D SCAN to accommodate designed components (such as bolean out pockets to house components within 3d scan features
5) modify surface of 3 scan to allow surfaces to flow into changes made in step 4
example:
-take 3d STL scan of a solid screwdriver handle -orient it to the inventor work planes and axis -design a metal screwdriver bit based on the shape of the handles 3d scan -design and boolean out a cavity to accommodate the metal bit -place bit design within cavity
modify screwdriver handle surfaces to seamlessly flow onto the metal bit... what software would do what part of the process and if there is specific terminology what that is so that I can better search the knowledge base and Autodesk University?
I am trying to find a way to import a laser scanned mesh or point cloud file into Inventor (2013) such that I can use it to make a parametric representation of the form. The import format can be STL, OBJ, VRML, XYZ or PLY. I have tried the Mesh Enabler from Autodesk Labs but the files I am looking to work-on are bigger than the enabler can cope with and my system slows right down or locks-up.
I know bespoke reverse engineering software is the ideal way to go but I was hoping there was a way to model over a mesh to represent its form to create a placeholder in a parametric assembly. I'm not looking for accuracy, just a surface or solid output that can be constrained to native inventor parts. If I could get the files to STEP or IGES someway that would be enough.
I upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and need to be able to import using TWAIN so that I can scan at 256 colors like I used to be able to with CS3. I cannot convert to 256 colors afterwards as the quality is too poor.
I am using 64 bit Windows 7. I tried installing the TWAIN plugin in the Adobe/plugins/import folder but it does not show up in the import options after restarting PS. I wouldn't mind downgrading to PS3 if I have to.
I have a card 7.5 x 5 .5. I would like to scan it and use it as my desktop wallpaper for the season. I have 2 Dell u2711 monitors at a resolution of 2560 x 1440. However, when I scan I get a terrible image when I attempt to set it as by background in Windows 7 Professional. how to do this. I have Lr 4 and CS 5.
I had to scan and resize. Original, physical picture is 1 1/4in X 2in. Scanned image requirements: resolution of at least 150 dpi, 600 X 600 pixels, 24 bit color, and keep it under 240 KB. I have basic Canon scanner and CS2....
way to make a text animation in Image Ready. I'd like to have white or bright green text against a black background and have it display as if it was being scanned over. One wide stripe moving right to left exposing the text underneath then moving back, never exposing the whole word at once, just a section. I had thought I could make a black layer over the top of the text, clear away a scection and manually move the layer in IR, but to no avail. Sorry I don't have a visual example of it for you.
I need to find a photo that I scanned a year ago. It was scanned with a simple HP desktop scanner. I used photoshop CS to work with this photo, now I have photoshop CS2. When I try to open this image, it says that it doesn't recognize the format. The CS2 can't open it. I tried reinstalling the old photoshop and when I try to open this image, it isn't highlighted to open.
If the photo has scan lines, then it has scan lines. the lines are now a part of the photo. they're not 'on the photo' they're in it. depending on how pronounced they are, they can be minimized. if you post a copy, I'll show you how. (maybe, no guarantee it can be saved)
I have an hp Photo smart C6380 all in one that I use for scanning. In Photoshop CS4, I just choose File, Import, then choose the TWAIN option. But in CS5, the TWAIN option is not available. How do I add this in CS5? (I am working on a Windows XP machine.)
I was wondering how to select a photo from a scan. I used the various selection tools and then copied and pasted the photo into a new Photoshop document and the scan appears striated and strange. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?
