AutoCAD Map 3D :: Manually Redrawing 19th Century Raster Maps?

May 14, 2013

I have to redraw 19th century raster maps that cannot be vectorized automatically.

The borders of the parcels are heavily curved.

I insert the raster map and start to trace/draw on a new layer.

1. Now, if I want to draw a second parcel that has a common curvy border with a first parcel how do I best trace the common border? What I would like is that the vertices along the common border are all displayed so I could just click them rapidly to draw the common border of the second parcel. However I cannot find a way to display all vertices. Is there a solution for this?

2. For drawing a new parcel alongside multiple existing parcels, a beter/faster option would be that I just click the vertices on junctions of the common border and the software would automatically trace the line between the junctions, create all vertices and snap them to the existing vertices on the common border of the existing parcel.

Illustrator :: Century Gothic Incorrect Display

Apr 21, 2013

Not sure if this is an Illustrator or Acrobat question!? I created a document in Illustrator CS6 using the font Century Gothic. I converted the text to outlines then saved the document as a PDF. When the document is viewed in Acrobat Pro or Reader, the lowercase letter "L" does not display properly. It's as if the pixel depth is not granular enough, so it increases the width of the letter. If I zoom in past 200% the letter seems to display properly, but anything below that it displays oddly. I sent the exact same file to my DropBox account, downloaded it onto my iPad (retina) and the letters look just fine; same with my iPhone.
 
Screenshot: [URL]
 
Note: This happens whether I create/view on my Mac or my PC. Additionally, if I do not convert to outlines, the font displays just fine. Regardless of the display, the document always prints correctly. I've experienced this since CS3, but never cared too much since most of my documents were for print only. Now many of my docs will be viewed rather than printed, therefor proper display rendering is a much bigger issue.

AutoCAD .NET :: Redrawing Screen During Execution Of Command Method

Dec 19, 2012

I would like to be able to have the screen refresh periodically to show the new objects I have added as a command method proceeds to execute. I am hoping to be able to achieve a kind of simple animation by doing this, and also to show progress while a computationally intensive operation is under way. Is there a way that I can do this? 

I have tried using AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument..Editor.Regen() and also .Editor.UpdateScreen(), but it only seems to work once and not multiple times. Do I have to commit the transaction and then .

Photoshop :: Redrawing Pixels And Lagging

Apr 12, 2006

For some reason, recently, when i paint in pshop CS2, every 10 or 12 strokes, my computer lags and I have to sit here and wait for it to catch up, and draw the last couple of strokes I made. It is REALLY irritating when painting for he obvious reason that it delays creativity. I have a dual 2 ghz G5 with 7 gb of RAM AND 550 GB of space, so it CAN'T be my comp. Any Ideas why it's laging so badly.

Also, in the last couple of weeks, for some reason, pshop is redrawing my pixels on the screen, making it very difficult to paint. Basically, when I paint, or drag the screen around, it keep residual pixels from my last angle, and they don't move until I drag my brush through them, making it impossible to paint accurately. I have to zoom out and then back in to clear it.

GIMP :: Canvas Not Redrawing With Tablet Use In 2.8.4?

Feb 17, 2013

After updating to GIMP2.8.4 I am seeing a constant problem with the canvas not updating after any change unless I move the cursor out of the image area. It starts updating immediately but if I move the cursor back it stops even if it hasn't finished redrawing. This is not just for image changes; the selection outline does not update either unless I move the cursor out of the image area! There's another problem with the selection outline - sometimes it just stops displaying, period, and I ave to use quick mask or save and close GIMP.

Paint Shop Pro :: X4-SP1 - Delay In Redrawing Menus

Dec 4, 2011

When I first use the mouse to open a menu (Editor mode) it takes a while for redrawing the menu rectangle. Not a great deal because this only happens the first time I open a menu after launching the application. On the other hand, X3 seems to redraw menus just fine and fast.

Photoshop :: PS CS2 Images Jumping/redrawing Weirdness

Dec 1, 2006

I am using PS CS2 an Dell Dimension 9150. 2 Gig of Ram and a Nvidia Gforce 7800. I am having some strange thingws happen when I have several imags open.

If I open one image or possibly two, everythign seems fine. However, if I have several images open--maybe four or five--everytime I issue a command it seems as if teh program looks at or does something to every image that is open. I can see the title area of each window flicker in succession.

It is not happening in CS1.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Manually Enter A Traverse

Apr 11, 2012

If you were to manually enter a traverse in 2012 how would you do it? I mean:

1. Set up on a known point

2. Backsight a known point

3. Move the setup a few times

4. Foresight a known point (either the same BS point above - closed - or another known point - closed connected)

The COGO geometry editor does not really seem to do this.

Am I limited to the survey command editor and the survey command language? Or is there something else?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Manually Adjustable Columns In A BOM

Feb 28, 2013

I'm doing a revision rearrangement and would like to add to the BOM New, Existing, and Relocated properties.  The problem is that each individual component may be unique.  Ie.  I have a desk w/ 3 identical monitors.  One monitor is existing and the others are new.  I'd like to have the BOM show that I have 3 monitors, 2 are new and 1 is existing.  The BOM would have 4 columns, one for the total number of parts and 3 for the New, Existing, and Relocated counts. 

I don't mind if the new columns need to be manually updated.

AutoCad 3D :: How To Render Manually Created 3D Wireframe

Aug 21, 2011

A have AutoCad 2000. I have made a 3D wireframe drawing of a boat hull by drawing each "wire" individually. Most of the surface of the hull is curved in two directions. The drawing is made of some straigt lines, polylines, elipses and circles and many arcs and splines. Snap is used everywhere so all lines connects together where they should do.

The problem I have is the drawing is difficult to view as the lines that should be hidden is not hidden. I can't find any way to do this. I have played with the 2D, 3D wireframe, with render, shaded etc. But I cant find any way to do it.

Is it not possible to hide the (what should be) invisible parts of a manually drawn up 3D wireframe drawing?

AutoCAD Architecture :: 64 Stall When Saving Automatically Or Manually?

Aug 9, 2013

I have had this complaint for a while internally however whenever Autocad Architecture saves while using a fully functional 3d architure model it hangs when it saves.

There are no errors discovered via audit, the file has been purged, the file has annotative scaled items, there are 3 x-refs & we are working off the server.The file generally has a low amount of layers and the xreferences have also been audited and purged.

in the base file - When Autocad Saves automatically or manually I get a 30 second delay. The task manager only shows one core on the I5 being used more than the others (not fully but spikes up and down). However when I want to go crazy and save multiple times the other cores pick up accordingly (obviously). Cpu usage only shows 27% usage at it s peak (overall).

The amount of ram used remains unchanged in both scenarios.

The network indicates 3-12% usage.

In the xref of the base file (generally the sheet file which has only the base file (with all the attached xreferences) and a title block with a low res image - The model craps out for 2 minutes while it saves same task manager results as well.

I have clean xreferences with no looping which the base file houses.

I'm trying to elimitnate or upgrade (computer) whatever is the issue.

note this has also occured with standard linework files (versus using 3d autcad architure elements)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Add Survey Point Manually

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Manually Input Points Of XYZ Coordinates

Jul 23, 2013

I have the following 8 points of XYZ-coordinates:

 These 8 points are for 4 sampling locations with 2 depths for each sampling location. I used AutoCAD 2012 a little bit before and I am new in using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013. What are the key steps and tips of using the values of XYZ-coordinates listed the above-mentioned table to input manually into the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 program. Note: 4 sampling locations are in the 4 corners of a square lot and the 8 points should look like 8 corners of a box.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating A Surface By Manually Selecting Points

May 21, 2012

Is there a way to create a surface by manually selecting the points instead of creating a point group?  I survey stockpiles for a local construction company and calculate volumes for them. 

There may be 50 piles on one site and it would be a lot easier to create a surface by selecting the points manually instead of creating so many point groups.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Points Manually From Cross Sections

Apr 12, 2013

Is it possible to create manual points from a cross section.  

For example, I want to create a surface from a sketched (hand drafted) proposed cross section by clicking on the different points on my cross section and having a point created in my plan view.

I am working with an ancient engineer who swears by hand drawing data into the cross sections, and then wants me to produce proposed contours based on this data.  I am trying to get out of writing down the Station, offset, and elevation, and then manually creating points and having to type in the offset and elevation again.

Stuck on Civil 3d 2011 (until the end of this construction season)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Corridor Surface Manually By Editing Points

Oct 4, 2013

I was trying to edit a corridor surface manually by editing points and tin lines but for me its much easier to edit the contours itself so I explode the surface into polylines and fix the contour issues but when i make it into a new surface the Surface does not look clean anymore. When I look at it in the object viewer it looks rough and jagged and doesn't look like a road at all, however my original corridor surface did look clean with perfect roads and cul de sacs i just wanted to fix the contours outside the road. I tried extracting it like i should have done in the first place but when i add the contours to a surface it still looks ugly and jagged. Another thing is that when you look at it in 2D or plan view the contours look exactly the same but when i look at it from a perspective view or 3D that's when you see the difference.

AutoCAD .NET :: Can Cache Files Manually / Faster Xref When File Cached

Jan 15, 2013

I have noticed that a file is xrefed much faster if the file has been opened at some point. (Wtih the file I tested with it was 45 sec vs 1,5 sec) This must mean that the file is cached and can very quickly opened later if it has been opened.

I have an application that xref other files as overlay xref's. This is very slow since the xrefed files haven't been opened. And it will be this slow every time i xref them since they are never opened. Is there a way I can cache the files manually or something like that?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: 2013 - Editing DXF Maps

Nov 26, 2013

I'm new to AutoCAD, and especially new to AutoCAD Map 3D. I need to make a plat showing a well location. When using Petra or DrillingInfo, a map can be printed to a DXF. DrillingInfo puts out a DXF with just the 0 layer, and the well spots come in as polyline circles. The DXF Petra puts out opens with different layers and symbology, which I like. It's just that the well spots are blocks, which I do not understand. When I open the Petra map with AutoCAD Map 3D, my well spots are unitless block references, and are tiny specks. I need to resize them so they can be seen.
