Is there any limitation for viewport rotation with connected features?I have number of connected shapefiles that I can see in model view.
However, my paperspace viewport rotated for 70 degree can't show them.
I started a drawing for a project, and so far I don't have much information in the drawing. I created a few objects, then went to one of my Layout pages and created a viewport to view the objects, and bam - some of the lines are missing (the yellow objects). As you can see on the screen grabs, I hovered over the Model tab to prove they're still there. Even when I double-click inside the viewport to edit through it and try to grab the objects, they're apparently gone. But they're not, they show up in the Model tab.
The layer they're on is turned on, thawed, and unlocked, but every object in that layer is missing when I leave the Model tab. I've opened viewports on other Layout pages, and they all refuse to show the yellow lines.
Is there any way to set features to be invisible when create sketch after those 3D features so as to make the sketch more easy to see?

View 5 Replies View RelatedProblem: When I create a new viewport, another viewport's paperspace blanks out or disappears. When I copy a viewport over, the new VP doesn't show anything and you can't maximize/"enter" its paperspace; it's like a simple rectangle, but the properties box says it is indeed a viewport.
Ex. Viewport 1 shows the top view of an object, Viewport 2 shows the right side view... as soon as I add Viewport 3, the top view in VP 1 blacks out. I attempt to ReDraw, Regenerate, etc, but it doesn't re-appear. I've run Plot Preview to see if maybe it's just a fluke with the graphics card on my screen, but alas, even in plot preview the viewport is blanked out.
It almost seems like there is a limited number of viewports I can use.
Solution: Run the MaxActVP command and set the value to a number greater than the number of VPs you actually need. This particular file had that value set at 2; hence, why a new, third VP blanked out the first one.
I have a drawing with a viewport that fits to the page. And I created another smaller viewport over top that just shows the legend. Now when I try to double click inside the smaller viewport it always goes into the larger one. I have tried bringing the smaller one to the front but that didn't work. I know that I can clip the larger viewport around the smaller one or bring the legend right into paperspace or slid the smaller one off to the side work in it and slide it back. This is more out of curiosity of how to get into the smaller viewport.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI did a test drawing with 4 viewports in paperspace.I frozen a layer in each viewport (as a viewport override, not global), and wrote code to gather info on layer overrides in viewports.The function takes in a database, and is generally used on drawings only open in memory:
public static bool GetLayerInfoFromDB2(Database db) { //do viewports on layoutstry {using (Transaction tr = db. Transaction Manager. Start Transaction()) { ObjectId ldid = db.LayoutDictionaryId;DBDictionary ld = (DBDictionary)tr.GetObject(ldid,
[code]....
the odd thing is it never finds the frozen viewports on the first viewport. It catches the others fine.I cannot see anything odd either, the counts of viewports and layers are all correct, and the drawing has no problems.Is there something that must be done to initialize the mechanism that reads viewport overrides?
how do you create a viewport within an existing viewport ?

The question is; what are the new features for 2D? It seems like the only thing Autodesk is interested in is 3D. I don't know if I want to upgrade further.

I'm going through some of the new features/ribbons such as "Design feed" and "Set Location" but when I click on these ribbons, the windows come up blank.

I am trying to detect overlaps between two different features. They are, at the core, shape files from a GIS system and we have AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009.
I have reviewed the steps to test for Topo within a feature but don't know how to test topo between two features. I need to test for and identify "Overlaps" between feature A and Feature B and when Feature A is "Not Entirely Within" Feature B.
I have a drawing that has a connection to OS background map data which is an SDF file.
I want to create new entities in their own new autocad layer based on an offset value from a line in the SDF data.
For example I want to create a new line in a new layer that is say 1.0m offset from a kerb line that appears in the SDF file called OSMMLINE.
I do not want to add these new entities to the SDF data.
When I try to use the offset command Map starts to "populate feature Cache" which takes several minutes, then I can use the offset command in the usual way and create a new line - which "properties" says is in a feature class layer called OSMMLINE(1).

I have a situation where when I install Civl 3D 2013, which includes MS Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0, it causes our KIP Request software to fail (KIP is our large format printer). Thru extensive testing we have narrowed it down to a conflict between KIP Request and the MS Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0.I have tried uninstalling the MS VB PowerPacks10.0, which resolves my KIP request problem, and still seems to allow Civil 3D 2013 to run.
My question is - I'm sure the MS VB PowerPacks 10.0 is needed for some part of the Civil 3D 2013 software, but what features in C3D I am impacting by uninstalling MS VB PowerPacks 10.0?
So far this is the only resolution to fix the KIP Request software - but I'm afraid by fixing the KIP Request software I'm somehow messing up the Civil 3D software.
I'm plotting a drawing in which I have land parcels provided in the form of a connected ArcGIS shp file. The parcels are closed polygon features. I'd like to plot the parcels as phantom linetype. The problem is where neighboring parcels have common boundaries, Autocad Map does not filter out the overlapping boundary segments for the purpose of plotting.
As a result, the linetype becomes a mixture of phantom and solid lines and everything in between. I've tryed using plotstyles as well as styling the polygons. I don't think plot styles work with map features. The styling works when the lines do not overlap. Exploding the polygons and removing duplicate segments is not a realistic solution when working with data that is shared by true GIS programs like ArcGIS. I've seen some old postings that indicate this has been a problem for years.
When I use quick select, I can see that there are map features listed in my drawings. When I try to select these features it either says they have been selected but they aren't actually selected, or the autocad will crash forcing me to start over. How can I removed these features (which do not actually appear in the drawing) from the drawing. So many of my files seem to have this problem.

I went to the help file and it instructed me to go to the display manager and right click on the "feature" layer to create a layer for the relevant feature that i want to use, but i have no "feature" layer in the display manager.
How do i create this layer? I use a template that is setup for c3d, is it due to this that there is no standard layer in the template?
I want different features on and off with iLogic.
I have a text parameter with a choice menu of 1,2, and 3

If I pass the parameter I get a message: No feature found with the name. Mvg Jos
Your drawings are only as good as the symbols that complete them...
When opening a third party drawing, is it possible to use the API to "recognize" user-created 3D features in AutoCAD? For example: grooves, holes, notches, and such? Also, if there are any attributes attached to the original 2D sketch, can those be queried as well?

I have a 2 ECW xrefed as images into a drawing which I use as the aerial xref the problem is when I change the UCS the ecw disappears.
So the image only shows when the ucs is set to WUCS - I should also note that just the image disappears I can still see the image frame.
My flat pattern of a sheet metal part fails when I added strenthening Press ribs to the middle of the part using an iFeature.
I know Inventor is not capable of flattening embossed sheetmetal but is there a way to still get the flat pattern & ignore the formed areas?
Seems to me I was able to add some model features in the past like bosses, extruded holes KO's etc & I could still make a flat pattern.
I know I can use derived part to do it but that adds complications.

when in simulation, if you suppress a feature is it totally taken out of the simulations workings?
I.e. if I was working on a project like some weighing scales and I had a load of objects on the scales and I then suppressed some of the objects, will the scales rise up a little to counteract the reduced weight?
I am working on a standard part that has different configurations depending on user inputs into a GUI. Once the user enters all the required parameters, the part is in its final form with all unnecessary features suppressed. I am looking for a way to automate the delete of the suppressed features using a rule and i Logic before the user saves the file.
The main reason for doing this is to reduce the file size of the part once it is saved because this same template will be used for hundreds of parts and I don't want to waste unnecessary storage space on suppressed features.
I am making a multiview drawing with isometric of a certain sheet metal part. Due to manufacturing reasons, they have to make the part longer than necessary to get a bend in it then I will have them shear off the extra. Is there a way I can show the multiview and flat pattern WITH the extra material and show the isometric WITHOUT that extra? In the model I remove the excess with a cut but I don't know how to suppress a feature for one view and not another.
