I have been following instructions from a reliable source.
I have been asked to " Use the Create --> Create from Points, menu and click the 'plus' sign in the top left and select Points in Drawing..."
however the create tab in map 3d is not visible, i have tried searching for it, and also looked threw the tab menu and "create" is not visible.
How can i view the create tab?

there is a possible way that the borders that the 3dface command creats will not be visible. I am attaching a foto in order to explain it better. the red arrows at the foto show the borders that i don t want to be seen at the final product.
In order to make it more clear, i have to say that these borders are not lines that i have drawed. these are lines that are created by choosing the 4 points that the 3dface command needs.
Is it possible to use an Autodesk Inventor .iam (assembly) to generate a file containing only the visible/exterior surfaces of that .iam?
My employer has a requirement that, in certain situations, only data without internal features/details can be supplied to customers.In this case, we only want the customer to be able to view the assembly & not see the internal features of individual parts.
Working with many layers 60+ is great, but most of the time we have many that are not selected i.e. visible.sometime 30+ those layers are most of the time not needed anymore or make it too crowd in the layer box, making layer selection and handling messy.
The best way is to remove them from the PDN, while keeping only the visible selected. But removing the "not selected" layers one by one is time consuming and again, accidents happen.
Three solutions .
A simple way to do it, is just add under "edit menu" or the "Layer menu" the following. "Create new PDN from selected visible layers"..
OR
add to the "Save As" the option to "Save selected visible layers only"
OR the long way, that has its good things in it too.
Add the option to INVERT the layers visibility selection, and then the option to remove/delete selected layers. (of coarse add an approval "are you sure box")
This option would even be great for other uses when we need to switch back and forth between many visible layers. for example when making animations etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I open one particular drawing on computer "A" it contains a layer called "minor contours" and all of the information from that layer is shown in the drawing. When I open the same file on computer "B" all of the minor contours lines are missing. The major contour lines and text are visible but the minor ones are not found. The one layer that contains the minor contours is there and I can draw new informaiton on that layer and it is visible. Also, if I was to save the drawing on computer "B" and re-open it on computer "A" the minor contours are no there. If i was to save the file on computer "A" and re-open the file on computer "A" the contours are there.
Also, I have tried this on another computer and it reacts the same as computer "A". For some reason it is just computer "B" that is not able to see the files.
So you are aware all of the computers are using autoCAD LT 2013 and are running windows 7. They are also all hp models with almost the same internal hardware and software.
how to fix this so that computer "B" is able to see these contour lines and save the file without loosing the information.
I'm having a problem where in 3D/model mode certain objects are sometimes not visible. A lot of times they show when I'm zoomed out, but then they disappear when I zoom in on the model. It happens with AEC objects like windows (strangely it will often be one window and not the rest of the windows), but it mostly happens with 3D solids that would be in vanilla AutoCAD.

I'm using visual studio 2010 and autocad 2012 x64. When I make (visual) changes to a form in the editor between debugging, for example the width of the form, the changes aren't visible on next debugging, it's still the same width as it was before. Same thing for font size, when changed the changes are not showing when debugging again. Almost seems like autocad remebers the previous layout of the form. A new control added between debugging shows up fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to automatically hatch all visible polygons of a drawing. My vision of how to solve this is basically:
- for each visible drawing do
- pick internal point
- hatch
- end for
I'm having trouble by automatically picking an internal point inside the polygon.
I've found these two methods : Crossing numbers and winding numbers [URL]....... but they don't seem to work if there are some polylines inside an polygon.
Is there another solution to my problem for automatically picking an internal point inside a polygon ? Can I automatically hatch an polygon without picking it's internal point ?
When working with an xref background, we are experiencing really bad lag, and delays when working with objects that are drawn on top of an xref. I have restarted the affected computers, restarted the server that all files are housed on, upgraded the network switch...with no results. Tasks that should take fractions of a second, are sometimes lagging anywhere from 3-15 seconds depending on what layers of the xref are un-frozen and visible.
View 9 Replies View Relatedseems like an awfully simple question, but i cannot figure out how to hide the viewport from a plot?
i am plotting an Arch D to PDF, and all looks good except for the viewport in the plot!
I received a drawing this morning, and it's paperspace looks great. However when I tried to view the drawings in modelspace it was empty. All the layers are on, when I click into the viewport (in paperspace) I can draw a line on the same layer as the block and that will show up in modelspace, yet no block.
Is this a feature of CAD, never experienced this before.
P.s. The blocks are available to insert in modelspace , however I'm just curious as to why I can not see the blocks that quite clearly exist in modelspace already.
Build a model, position it, turn on or off layers you want or don't want to be seen, create a new layout. then reposition, change layers and so on, create a new layout, maybe zoom in on a detail, create another layout and then export all to a PDF.
my problem is if you change layer visibility it affects all layouts , not what I would expect. Or if you zoom in, it still bases the layout on extent , all though display type does seem to hold on the layout it was set for.
so what would be the proper way of showing only relevant information on several different sheets.
DWG has viewports on layout tabs, but the viewports are not visible. The viewport can be open, edited as established, but if you pan or zoom, the paperspace layout moves and not model space. In model space, viewport frame does not highlight.
All layers on, unfrozen, and plottable.
Have done extensive internet search to find soution, found others with same problem, have found no one with a solution.
Not extremely CAD literate, basically self taught, but until this problem, I've been knowledgeable and resourceful solving problems.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnytime I try to add a custom scale either by selecting the "custom scale" option from the paperspace viewport scale menu or by entering the command SCALELISTEDIT manually, the dialog box doesn't appear.
It's not that the box isn't opening because all other buttons and functionality are restricted in AutoCAD until I hit escape to exit out of the command. It's as if it's opening on a separate monitor, except it doesn't appear on my secondary monitor when I plug it in either.
Is there a command where I can manually add a custom scale or a property that I can change to force the box to be docked?
I'm working on a small Assy (25 parts). When I open one of the parts from this Assy and work on it then go back to the Assy many parts are not visible. The update button is usually off so I can't use it.
This started only about 2-3 weeks ago - in every assy. I changed the nvidia driver but didn't work.

I have a sub that gets a page number and a collection of layer ID's to freeze. The sub will freeze the selected layers in all of the viewports except for the new one.
After running the program, the layers in the specific viewport are still visible, but when you go into Model mode in the viewport and check the layer status, it shows the selected layers are set to Freeze in the viewport.
If I save the drawing, exit,and re-open it, the layers are now not visible. I believe I have the "Regen" in the correct spot.

2. Save as .ipt,
3. Create a new .ipt and then DERIVED the save .ipt, change scale to 25.4
4. Save the part
5. Open .idw and place the part you just save.
Result: Notice that nothing is visible. WHY?
Our engineering department users are facing this problem that the hatch patterns are not visible. Everytime they have to use the FILL command when they open any drawing. They are facing this problem with some dwgs, when anybody else opens the same drawing this happens again. After that they are unable to see the hatch patterns in any drawing. After using FILL it becomes visible but restrting the AutoCAD reverts the setting back so they unable to see the hatch pattern again. After opening that dwg in all files they are unable to hatch.

1. Why does my part not show up behind a surface?
2. What is the minimum dimension to make my part appear?
On the drawing I was working on, the part completly behind a surface was showing up until I rotated the view, then it dissapeared, this behaviour is not present in the test idw, the part doesnt appear at all behind the surface.
There are times with a breakout that it is desirable to have the sketch used to create the breakout visible to make it clearer on what's going on. When I right-click on the sketch in the browser there is no option for visibility. How do I make this sketch visible?
