I've 2 FDO Layer (polygon). Layer1 contains zoning and Layer2 contains small area. The goal is to merge all polygons (1 or more) of Layer2 into only 1 polygon in each zone of Layer1.
I can do an FDO Overlay (Identity) to copy ID of zone to Layer2, but I don't know (except manually) how to merge polygons with 1 common information.
What I want to do basically is merge a couple of polylines (which have different widths and may overlap each other) together into a single 'shape'. I am calling it shape, but I think the correct term would be polygon.
The end result should ("from the outside") look the same as before merging, the only difference being that the polylines are now merged into one shape. Important note: it cannot be a polyline with segments of different width, I know AutoCAD supports this, but the drawing will be exported to a format which does not seem to support this (and the result then is a line with a single width - wrong).
Here's a mockup of what I want to achieve:
On the left are three polylines (PL1, 2, 3), where PL2 has a different width and overlaps the other two polylines. On the right is the desired result: a single polygon (NOT a polyline with variable width) in the same shape as the polylines.
Is there a setting for extruding polygons so it doesnt leave the original polygon.
When i extrude a polygon into a 3D solid, it extrudes fine but it also keeps the original polygon which means i have to delete it?
I would like to create a border that looks at the sheet number and then zones the horizontal borders in a continuous numbering scheme.
Sheet 1 = 1-8
Sheet 2= 9-16
etc...
This is a requirement that we have to meet with some customers. When drawings get to 30+sheets it becomes a pain to manually renumber the zones.
I would imagine this is done in VB code, but I have not programmed in a very long time. The formula would be something simple like;
if sheetnumber >1 then
for i =1 to 8
zone(i)i.value = zone(i).value +8
next i
end if
I am delving into the world of Display Themes in autocad architecture for the first time. What I am trying to do is apply a display them to a viewport that colour all spaces according to the zone to which they are attached.
I have made a generic space which I have used for all rooms. I have attached those spaces to various zones (i.e. Accounting and Finance, Engineering, Facilities etc.)
I am now trying to create a display theme that will color each zone accordingly. I am trying to do this by setting each theme rule to be;
propertyset definition = zone, property = name, condition = equal to, value = Accounting and Finance (etc.), operator = and.
I do this and nothing happens to the spaces. I have tried experimenting with other property sets attached to the spaces and different properties (ie space base area etc) and it works fine. So i'm pretty sure its just a case of finding the correct zone property to work with.
I'm having a problem with a Zone Border. I created the Zone Border like normal. I edited the appearance of the 'ABCD1234' text slightly:
- changed to center and middle justification.
- changed width to 120%
- changed color to black
The edits to 'ABCD' took effect and look just right. The edits to '1234' don't stay edited. I save the sketch, it looks okay, then when I add it to Sheet:1, the numbers have gone back to blue and lost the width and justification edits. But the letters are fine. What the heck is going on?
Is there a variable I can pull to get the coordinate system zone assigned to the drawing? For instance, if my drawing is in UTM coordinates, zone 13, is there a (retrievable) variable set to "UTM27-13"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use RocTek for cut/fil calculations, but the program is old and basic, I'm trying to transition to Civil 3D 2012 right now. Typically I create "no work zones" around my building footprints, so that I can do a more detailed take-off in those areas for over-excavations and that sort of thing. Right now I'm using Civil 3D to create an existing surface, a proposed surface, and then a volume from between the two. I thought if I just traced my proposed contours over the existing within the building footprint that I would get what I was looking for. However, analysis of the cut/fill volume shows that there are still some changes being made around the edges of the building.
Is there a specific way to make a proposed surface, but leave parts of the existing surface untouched?
See attached photo. The upper middle portion of the screen is where the building is (forgot to turn on layer).

I am hatching (a very quick sketch for info) but the hatch lines are going across the ploy line zone.
What happening. I cannot snap to these, but if in put a selection window acorss an of the lines, it will select the hatch.
I dont want to see these and dont want to have to hatch indivual rectangles. Never seen this before.
I cannot see anythign obvious in any of the settings.
How do I get the zone borders to number horizontally.
Sheet1 1-8
Sheet2 9-16
Sheet3 17-24
i need to export/retrive the Informations from "Space-Zone manager".
i can see the informations of surfaces and the openings in "Space/Zone manager", but no way to export or to extract them. the informations are also no "property set" information, which could be managed with schedules.
Often i hatch two areas separately. is there any way to combine 2 adjacent hatches? for e.g. there are two adjacent rectangles which are hatched with same pattern having the same scale. if i make the shape into a one single rectangle by trimming the middle line, i want to combine the two hatch into a one single hatch.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying out this option, and am noticing that whenever I close and reopen the drawing with a surface that uses this option, it resets my maximum angle from whatever I have it set to, to 90 degrees. Am I missing some setting that defaults the max angle to 90 degrees on drawing open? Or is something else going on here?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm modelling liner plates on a conveyor chute and I want the liners and the fixing bolts to align on between the walls which are different. angles.
I've modeled the liners on the first wall how I want them and now want to project lines from the top and bottom of the liner plates as well as the centers of the bolt holes on this wall to the adjacent wall.
I cant seem to get the lines to project onto the adjacent wall at the same level.
I've posted two images of the model that hopefully illustrate the problem. I would love to put a zipped folder of the model up to which is under 3MB in size but I keep getting an error message saying the size of the attachment is too large and that the maximum size is 1,572,864 bytes.
I need to place points automatically and in order sequentially along an alignment and I need to generate data from the points relative to an adjacent alignment. SO, two alignments, adjacent but not parrallel to each other. The data would then be point #, sta and offset from the adjacent alignment with the points placed in order and by window or crossing. I have a few thousand to place so one at a time would be an undesireable solution of course.

I have two feature lines. They are not parallel.
The tool "Adjacent elevations by reference" seems to work fine only when feature lines are well parallel one to another ?
Also, it seems that C3D method works fine if "parent" object and "object to edit " have similar number of vertex, similiar "lenght",....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI often have an issue when trying to move an object on a layer crowded zone.
I select the right layer through the layer dock. But when I try to move my object, some auto selecter is probably ON and it selects another layer (that probably was right under my mouse) Any way I could disable that ?

I want to make a new function in my own add-in to drill holes in cupboard panels for a dowel connection.
I used to make holes in other "own" functions where the user selects the faces.
In this function the user must select 2 parts in an assembly and then find the adjacent (planar) faces. I need this faces to make the sketch for the holes.
How to find these adjacent faces?
When Daylight Savings did its change this spring I started having problems saving files in Illustrator. I will go to save files, mainly .eps format, and it crashes Illustrator. I have changed my time zone to a zone that has not switched yet due to Daylight savings, and it works. Unfortunately as I find a new time zone, it also ends up hitting Daylight Savings, and I am back to square one. I have been searching both the Adobe site and the Windows site to find an answer to my problem, but am having no luck.
My proper time zone is
(UTC-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)
I have even tried using Saskatchewan as they do not follow Daylight Savings, but it also creates crashes. I have tried many other time zones, the two that have worked so far are
(UTC-06:00) Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey (worked for a little while but a time change a few weeks later messed it up)
(UTC) Casablanca (working on this time zone now, but an alert on my computer says time change coming up on the 28th)
I feel like I am running out of time, as I am not sure how many more time zones will work.
I had noticed this when I tried using a loud audio sound effect so I removed it and changed it to something else but I am concerned about this. Here is the situation:
Segment 1: talking head video
Segment 2: black block with animation and no sound
Segment 3: black block with animation and a short sound effect (breaking glass)
Segment 4: black block with the end of animation and voice from the video
Segment 5: back to the talking head video as a continuation of segment 1
The problem I notice is that the sound, in segment 4 is very low as if the video is "recovering" from the sound effect in the previous segment. It is like it adds a fade-in where I don't need one at all.
Is that a normal "reaction" of the audio after a sound effect?

I have drawn a shape as you will see in the attached. The white 'arches' are not there as objects in their own right, they are as a result of the orange objects and the yellow ring.
I will be passing this to a laser engraving machine and need to cut-out each object seen in its own right, including the 'arches'. Clearly in a normal printer I could just put a coloured circle behind the other objects but on a laser I need the actual shape.
I don't want to manually try to fit a bezier as the cut-out parts need to be a perfect fit as it is going to be an inlay. Each colour will be a different type of wood. Is there a macro tool that would do it?
How do I blend the edges of these adjacent images to eliminate the hard line between them?

Below is a bitmap image that I would like to turn into a vector image using Corel Draw X4. The outer thin pinstripe is what I typically struggle with on things like this. I know there must be a quick and easy way to draw it, but I've yet to find it. What would be the quickest and best way to draw that pinstripe?
We typically extend steel stringers past the bottom tread to the point where truncating yeilds a 4" vertical edge. This is done to match adjacent 4" high baseboard. I understand that the sketch lines can be extended BUT can it be done with this precision?
Is this beyond the capabilites of Revit?
