AutoCAD Map 3D :: Assign Global Coordinates
Jul 17, 2012
I have been working with Map 3D 2011 and assigning Global Coordinates to my drawings for 2 years with no problems. Now when I click on the icon or enter the command "adesetcrdsys" in the command line trying to Assign Global Coordinates the dialogue box to select my options does not appear.
I only get a response in the command line to enter a code. And I can't assign coordinates with other options available. How do I get the dialogue box back?

Is it possible to assign a global width to polylines by layer?
I have made changes to one dwg and i now have to apply it to a bazillion more DWG's. But the chnages apply only to a few layers. So i was wondering if i can set the global width to these polylines by layer somehow to save me from doing it "manually"

I installed ArcGIS into my Map3D 2011 and now when I enter the command ADESETCRDSYS there is no longer a dialog box that pops up, it is all in the command line. This wouldn't be a problem, except it doesn't allow you search through the codes. I have looked for a system variable that might control it, comething simular to filedia, but have not been able to find one.

What I have is northing/easting survey data starting at an arbitrary point. The rest of the points are measured from that.
I do know the global coordinate of the base point, but no other points.
My question is how can I take all of the points and create gloabl coordinates out of them. I assume this is possible because I know the global coordiane of our reference point, I just have no clue how to do it in CAD.

I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

The coordinates that we can apply in Revit (project/shared) aren't exactly the same to have real world projection coordinates (WGS84)??
If not how can we convert the revit shared coordinates to real world projection coordinates?

I've been working on converting a VBA macro to an Add-In (my first). I thought all was going well, but I'm struggling to share the InventorApplication object within my add-in...
All the googling I've done suggests the most suitable way is to declare it as a global variable. So I followed the work flow on this page:
([URL]......) and created a module to declare my global variables. I've then referenced this module back in the original class, but when I do, I get a message saying "modDeclarations is a type and cannot be used as an expression"..
So here's what I've got:

The following code works for querying the global coordinate system of a drawing
Dim Current1 As Autodesk.Gis.Map.MapApplication
Current1 = Autodesk.Gis.Map.HostMapApplicationServices.Application
Dim Proiect1 As Autodesk.Gis.Map.Project.ProjectModel
Proiect1 = Current1.ActiveProject
MsgBox(Proiect1.Projection.ToString)
The following line of code doesn't work
Proiect1.Projection = "UTM83-12"
On vb.net gives this: "Exception of type ‘Autodesk.Gis.Map.MapException was thrown."
In Autocad gives this error: "Cannot save projection code to the drawing"
The error log is:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <Map3dErrorLog xmlns:xsi=[URL]... xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="AcMap3dErrorLog.xsd">
- <Session user="dpopescu" start="10/22/2009 7:22:56 AM" document="Drawing1.dwg">
<Error code="1" type="2" dispensation="1" sId="2" occurrence="1">Cannot save projection code to the drawing.</Error>
</Session>
</Map3dErrorLog>

When I say "Global" I mean every instance in the drwaing, regardless of model/paper space.
Example: I have a roadway drawing with 12 Layouts. The Title Blocks are in the layouts (in paperspace). The text in the titleblocks (sheet name, dwg name, drwn by, date, revisions, etc), are attributed blocks.
I need to add the same revision to every sheet.
How can I globally do this, all in one shot. Seems like something I should be able to do. The old command line AttEdit command does not do it. It only works on blocks in the current space.
Find could do it if there was something in them but the attributes are empty.

I have written code to allow me to pick the dimensions of a part and update the dimension parameter name from a list of choices presented in a form e.g. length, width, thickness, outer_diameter, wall etc.
The parameters are exported and I can get overall sizes in the BOM with relevant expressions in columns. So far so good.
What I would like to do is have a global SIZE column in the BOM which has expressions that vary based on another custom iproperty (PartType) which defines the part. So for example if the PartType was 'circular plate' the expression in that parts row of the SIZE column would be <outer_diameter>x<Thickness> while if the PartType was 'tube' the expression in the that parts row would be <Outer Diameter>x<Wall>x<Length> etc
If I could do this I would not need different columns to define the sizes of every different type of material we use and also limit the number of parameters the user needs to choose from when picking part dimensions.
However looking at the BOM API I do not see an obvious way to alter the expressions.

How do I globally change the Xref path to a new server? I tried adding it into the support/working path in Options etc. but hasn't up-dated drawings. I manually changed one drawing (there are posts on this) and it works, but I have many drawings and would like to keep the date last modified also if possible.

Using Map 2008
When I click Setup->Define Global Coordinate System...
I recieve the following message:
Cannot open coordinate system dictionaries for write.
I attempt to define the CS in Map 2009 and am able to supply all required information.
When I click OK I recieve the following message:
Cannot add coordinate system to dictionary.
Is this information still stored at:

How text style creation works. It appears that I can create a text style in a drawing but it is not session related or Global and I can switch between to Styles within a drawing but not outside within a new drawing. How do you create a Text Style that is available at any time and in any drawing. Is this generaly a system setting that is controlled by an admin.

Basically, we get documents from other people and we convert those to our formats to do our work. We use a font called Simplex, but sometimes their document is filled with, like, Comic Sans or something stupid.
The match properties command doesn't seem to change font, just size and alignment. When I use the font properties dialog box, I can set simplex as the font, but when I make new text, it still matches their comic sans.
So two questions: How do I change the default font for the document so that all new text is the way I want it?
And is there a LISP routine which will find all text and change the font property and stuff the way I want it? For multi-line and single line text.
Also note, I've tried selecting all the text and editing properties, but font is not one of the properties I can change. To change font, I have to edit every piece of text one by one. And then ONLY multiline text has the properties to change font. I don't even know how to change the font of a single line text object.

I am new to Inventor API, but have some experiences in SolidWorks API.
How can I select an entity at a given spacial point (x, y, z)? For example, I want to select a face or edge that is on a given (x, y, z) point. I can not find such an API, except for interactive selections.

There used to be a product called Cadmin, that was a very useful tool for changing common elements in a group of door window assembly styles at the same time.
I have a source file with 870 door window assembly styles that I want to modify a division in. The division has the same unique name in all of the assemblies, and I want it to end up the same in all styles. Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of or do I have to select 870 styles individually?

I've found myself using this code often:
// Get the transient geometry object. We'll use this to create pure geometryCComPtr<TransientGeometry> pTrGeom;pTrGeom = pApp->TransientGeometry;
But I was thinking, once I have pTrGeom can I just declare a global to hold it while my Inventor instance is running?
Alternatively I suppose I could have a global function which does this:
CComPtr<TransientGeometry> GetTransientGeometryPtr(){ static CComPtr<TransientGeometry> pTrGeom = NULL ;
if (pTrGeom == NULL) pTrGeom = pApp->TransientGeometry; return (pTrGeom) ;}
So it reduces to a one-liner. But in COM is that static valid? I know the code is not complete above, but you get the idea.
What do other C++ COM programmers do here...?

it's possible to do a "global change" (values) to Attributes in MText?

Those MText attributes are practical but a pain in the neck for my existing tools!

I copied some lines with global widths into another drawing and the line is displayed and printed with an outline around the global width of the line in the new drawing.. almost like it is a (3D offset for the global width, and not solid fill)
I have checked my fillmode. "fillmode = 1" and I also checked my UCS "UCS is set to current"
Why is this happening and if it has to do with some inherent properties of that new dwg?

I have a leader that I want to make the line part of thicker (already made the leader arrow head bigger). I saw that it appeared to be based on dimension style, and I tried changing the lien thickness in there although as we use color dependent plot files, not line weight dependent plot styles, this had no effect.

I have recently installed Civil 3D 2013 "Gobal - Bridge Modeler "from the Productivity Tools page in subscription centre.
Add-in appeared to installed sucessfully and tab added to Civil 3D ribbon but features do not work. Selecting a bridge type I am given following error message, "Your Evaluation Period has Expired on ...2010".
Software was only purchased relatively recently therefore this should not be the case.

I'm would like to know about conversion for those Global Coordinate System . For example : (Country : Australia , region Perth) I have AHD PCG94 Coordinate system as follow [ 44650.59 E , 202428.59 N ] & [ 44673.43 E, 202414.57 N ] . How to convert those coordinate system to suit the object into my current drawing with MGA94 (Zone 50) with Civil 3D software ? Or AutoCAD MAP which partially integrate in Civil 3D might work with this ?

I used the BEDIT command (editor) on my block to modify the text size then save the block editor changes. Then use ATTSYNC to perform the changes on all existing blocks references to resize the texts, but after i complete the ATTSYNC command, the text in all the blocks disappear.

I create tables in Excel, then paste into AutoCAD as "AutoCAD Entities". Works great. However, once the table is in the drawing file, I have to manually set the font, text size, text alignment, etc.
Been trying to use AutoLisp to facilitate this process without success.

I’ve got a series of third party drawings that are quite intricate, with a series of nested blocks, some of which cannot be exploded.
The issue i have is that they have been drawn with a global scale factor of 1. Our office works with a global scale factor of 10.
Is there a quick and easy way to make the global scale factor 10, but then somehow retain the scale of the third party drawing lines so they retain their look?
Trying to avoid either just drawing with a global scale factor of 1 (which is a pain as all our blocks are set up for global scale factor of 10) or going into each of the bound xrefs and making all line scales 0.1 (mammoth task given the amount of drawings and all the nested/unexplodable blocks).
