AutoCAD Map 3D :: Custom Linestyle Definition

Sep 29, 2011

I am creating custom linestyles using the mkltype command.The issue I come across is. A simple line is drawn and the linetype is applied to it.

Line type definition. The length of the line before the first shape is set to a specific value, the length after the first shape is the same value (the shape should sit in the middle of the two values if they are equal), but the position varies when the line is stretched to a length anything other than a multiple of the original length.

why this happens and how to force the first shape to stay in the specific value (length from start of line) position.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Create A Custom Complex Linestyle For A Stream

Sep 13, 2013

I am trying to create a custom complex linestyle for a stream. It's a line with 3 circles/dots. For the dots I want to actually create the circles. I know how to create shapes, compile and load linestyles. For some reason it does not work.

AutoCad :: Lines Not Showing Linestyle

Apr 9, 2013

I'm wondering why it is that lines only show linestyle if I explode them?

If I just draw a single line the linestyle shows directly, but If I have an imported drawing (I mostly work with LisCAD projects that has been exported to AutoCAD) the lines consist of joined sections of shorter lines (as lines in the LisCAD drawing go from point to point and are not joined). When the file is exported to AutoCAD the lines seems to become a group and won't show the linestyles I choose for presentation unless I explode them and then apply a linestyle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Linestyle For Curves Plotting As Continuous

Mar 26, 2012

I have an alignment file that is xref into multiple dwg files. For the one file, however, the curve plots as "continuous", while the tangents plot as "center". In all the other sheets it plots fine. The alignment styles are good. Looking at it on my screen it looks fine. The xref is on its own layer (not zero or some random layer). All the psltscale, msltscale and celtscales are set to 1. The ltscale is set to .5 (set to 1 doesn't change anything). What am I missing??

AutoCad :: Parameters In Block Definition

Sep 10, 2013

I have a question regarding parameters in a block definition, or more specifically how to constrain parameters. I have attached a PDF showing exactly what I am working on. Basically I have an arm for a monitor which I need to add some parameters to. I need to be able to have a point that I can grab where the "primary grab" is located, and when I grab that I need the arm to pivot at the indicated pivot point, but be restrained by the first arm that is constrained to the circle. Is this possible to do in AutoCAD?

AutoCAD .NET :: Linetype Definition Inside A DWG

May 27, 2011

Is it possible to examine the linetype definition stored in a drawing. I would like to update linetypes that use an old SHX file with newer definitions but because the name of the linetype can change (RENAME or XREF merging) the only way to reliably do this is to look at the definition (e.g. A,7.25,[LINE5,old.shx],9.25,-5) of a linetype and update it (e.g. A,7.25,[LINE5,new.shx],9.25,-5). Is this possible with .NET or LSP?

AutoCad :: Getting Bad Definition When Trying To Load LIN File?

Aug 13, 2012

I have a .lin file, that keeps giving me several "Bad Definition" dings. I acquired this ".lin" file at a previous job, and am not sure why I can not get it to load correctly now.

I am not the best, at writing computer language, so I know my issue is operator error, and me being the operator; I don't know how to solve it. I changed the ending of the file to ".txt" so it would upload, I couldn't get it too attach in the ".lin" format.

On another note, I'm extremely distracted right now from work, after Yahoo flashed there was a shooting incident at Texas A&M Univ. It makes a person wonder, "What is going on, with all the gun violence lately?"

AutoCAD VB :: Redefine Block Definition From Another File?

Dec 7, 2011

how I can get VBA to insert/redefine a block reference from another file into a block (of the same name) that already exists in the target drawing?

I've tried using the insertblock method but it produces a 'filer error' - As a bonus point, it'd would also be good to be able to retrieve the contents of the blocks collection in the source drawing in some clever way other than opening it (a bit like browsing using the design centre) ?

AutoCAD LT :: Batch File To Change Attribute Definition

The code format works for every one of my att in the title block except the DEPT#. I think it is because it is the only att with the # sign as an end character in the Att definition. I can not change the attribute name bc it is my customers title block. I am working on 2013 LT and would prefer a fix for LT but can get access to mechanical 13.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface From Corridor Loses Definition?

Oct 31, 2012

C3d 2011 updated to all service packs

39 meg overlot design file

I have had this issue at least 3 times and twice on the same drawing. I create a surface from corridor and add several polylines and feature line as well as a boundary to the surface. Randomly it will lose all definition (breaklines and boundary) and i will have to "select similar" (and hope I get everything) and add all of my definition back.

It seems to only occur on large files and when my frequency is tight on curve and vertical curves.
