AutoCAD Map 3D :: Determine Unknown Tangent

Feb 14, 2011

Sometime in the past, I've drawn an arc, probably using an old deedplotting program, and imported it into Map3D.

I now have a new parcel that I'm plotting, and need to obtain the tangent of an arc on the parcel's perimeter.

Typically I draw a line, as close to the tangent as I'm able, and then toy with the bearings until I get it as close as I can.

This is a counter-productive means of finding the tangent bearing of an arc, and I'd really like to find a better way of doing this.

Is there a succint manner that I can pull a tangent line off an existing arc?

Using osnap this afternoon I thought I could do it, with the extension, but in testing it later, I found it was off by a good 2 or 3 degrees. While indeed a minor variance, I'd like to find a better way.

AutoCad :: Double Tangent Arc

Sep 16, 2013

I need an arc that is required to be tangent at both ends. I've attached a picture. The red lines are the arcs, the green lines are the lines I want the arcs to be tangent with and the yellow dashed line is the point at which I want the arcs to end.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Not Tangent

Jun 18, 2012

Working on Acad2012 3d Civil. I draw a circle of 4000' radius and another one of 2000' radius. I put a tangent line between the two circles and I do see the tangent symbol but when I zoom in real close, it's not. So now I can't trim the excess radius of the two circle. I do have a trim line pasted the two supposedly tangent points. Is this a CAD issue or is their a variable to change that actually makes the lines tangent.

AutoCad :: Place Line Tangent From The End Of Arc?

Nov 28, 2012

How does one draw a line tanget from the end of an arc.

I noticed the tangent snap stops at the end of the arc but one can still place a line beyond the end of the arc, thus no longer tangent.

AutoCad :: Snap Of Line At A Tangent To The Arc

Aug 16, 2011

tan.jpg

i want to snap this line to where it would be at a tangent to the arc (as right), but as you see (left) when i hover with TAN snap it picks a tangent from the pick point, not from object's orientation.

at the moment i construct a tangent by rotating a copy of my line by 90°, and snapping it to centre of the arc. then extend out past arc, where the intersection is now the point i originally wanted to pick. make sense? gotta be a better way!

AutoCad :: Remove Unknown SHX Files

Jun 17, 2009

When i load thirdparty drawings or DWG files exported from DGN most of the times the DWG loads and ask a few times to load some SHX shape files.

Is there an way to delete those files from the drawing so that it just loads?

We never use those SHX files . With a couple of different xrefs there is sometimes up to 6 of those boxes which i just select 'cancel' since i don't have those files.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Tangent Edges

Aug 29, 2012

I am still making some adjustments to our standard drawing template and I ran into another issue.. 

I want the tangent edges to be displayed automatically when I insert a drawing view rather than clicking the Display Options tab and checking the Tangent Edges box every time I make a new drawing.  Is this possible?  If so, how?

I tried inserting a view, checking the Tangent Edges box, then deleting my view and re-saving the template but it still went back to the default.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Move A Box Tangent Along A Path?

Jan 10, 2014

I have a roller pin which follows a certain path using transitional constrain in an assembly. A box is attached to the roller pin which move along with it. My problem is that I want one face of the box to be tangent to the path which the roller pin is following so that the box moves according when it is on the curve. I have attached the file with the message.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Snap To Tangent Point

Apr 4, 2012

Since switching over to Inventor 2012 I have been having trouble snapping to tangent points on a curve or circle to pull dimensions. I would do it manually but if the dimension is not referencing a specific point in the model it turns pink to identify an error.

Is there a setting that may be not allowing me to snap to tangent points?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Trim To A Tangent Edge?

Apr 2, 2013

I am having trouble with a part that I am working on.  Trying to trim to the tangent edge.  I cant post the part that I am actually using, but here is an example of a similar problem.  In the attached file, open the "Negative Part.ipt".  The sketch 2 contains a line (unconstrained).  I need this line to be tangent with the curve below it.

I can project the edge of the curve to my sketch plane, but not the tangent of the radius.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tangent Edges In Drawing

Oct 8, 2013

Looking at a side profile of a channel in a drawing, you will usually see a top and bottom edge, as well as some nominal flange thickness.

In Inventor, all you see is the top and bottom edge...because the channel's shape is really radiused on the flange.

So I turn on "Tangent Edges" in the Display Options of my view...now I see three lines representing the flange. I can manually hide the other lines, but this option creates a TON of lines in my views that I would have to manually hide.

What is the quickest and cleanest way to represent a channel without seeing a ton of extra tangent lines?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Tangent Curves

Jun 29, 2013

I am used to drafting surveys using Eagle Point Coordinate Geometry & Boundary Survey & I am now moving over to C3D, & I am trying to reproduce a boundary survey in C3D 2010, when it comes to Tangent & Non Tangent curves there does not appear to be any routine that allows you to create them in logical sequence or otherwise from the geometrical info provided on paper maps i.e. Radius, Delta Angle  & Length, are there any survey techs on here that have been able to resolve this issue?

AutoCad 2D :: Draw Circle So That Line Becomes Tangent To It?

Feb 20, 2013

I’ve an already drawn inclined line from a fixed point (saypoint (0,2) on Y-axis). The inclination is also fixed (say 150 tothe horizontal). My objective is to draw a circle with one quadrant at a fixedpoint (say point (1,0) on X-axis), so that, the line becomes a perfect tangentto the circle. The diameter of the circle may vary to make the line perfecttangent to the circle.

AutoCAD .NET :: Determine Units Of A Property?

Oct 24, 2012

I am selecting items and grabbing their DBObjects, and then reflecting on those objects to inspect properties of the object.  For example, I might have a DBObject that is actually of type Pipe, Duct, DuctFitting, Line, etc, so I am using TypeDescriptor reflection to handle various cases in as abstract a way as possible.

My first question is this: Is this the smartest way to grab all of the attributes of a give object?  Is there another call I can make the retrieve all of the attributes for a Pipe and a Line (to very different types of objects).

Second, when I see a property named Length and it is a double I know it has to be a length and that I can use the units from the drawing.  Is there a way to programatically discover this other than the name of the property and its type (double)?  In other words is there some metadata I could retrieve about any given property against which I am reflecting, or is there a smarter way to get these attributes which might provided said metadata?
