AutoCAD Map 3D :: Text Visibility Using 3DClip?
Nov 5, 2007
I'm trying to create slices through a 3D model. it's a model of an underground mine and i need to be able to show each mining level in a separate layout. 3Dclip command works fine for isolating the linework, according to elevation, but it doesn't clip the text annotations although the text is placed at the same elevation as the linework. The result is a mass of overlapping text that appears on every layout no matter where I set the clip planes
i had heard there was a 3D text command in map2008 that might solve this problem, but I can find no reference to 3D text in the map2008 help files.

This is one of those AutoCAD sneaky buggers that ended up killing a large portion of my day so I thought it worth sharing.
We do a lot of things to get the best performance with 3D models. I generate Oil and Gas processing plant models using CADWorx Plant Professional in AutoCAD. For the size of our projects, speed we have to work at, and drawing setup concurrent with model completion no other setup has been as effective as 3Dclip.
The problem I run into with 3DClip is that once my 3D model reaches a certain size I loose the visualization of my clipping boundaries. I can watch my viewport change as move the clipping plane but don't see a handy dandy line to show where exactly it is clipping.
Here's the fix I found. Options - System - Performance Settings - deselect wireframe display in the Degradation order section. Now if I could just get my front clipping plane to show up white, blue, yellow, or any color other than black given my black background!

I know that Archtecture uses views differently than the other AutoCAD verticals, but I'd still like to find a solution to this. When I use the 3DCLIP command to create section views of models created in Architecture, the wall and roof objects do not clip correctly. The clipping planes do not create sections of those objects.
Is there a way to get the 3DCLIP command to actually intersect wall and roof objects?

Is it possible to link text to each other through visibility states without creating a block within the DB? I have 2 visibility states. Right Section, and Left Section. All notes and text stays the same, geometry is the only thing that mirrors between states.
The hope is that when I update the text on the "Right Section" state, that the same text on the "Left Section" state automatically updates with what I did on the "Right Section".
I solved this by creating multiple blocks within the DB. That works great, however there HAS to be an easier way to do this.

I wonder if it is possible to have a routine that captures the visibility name of a dynamic block and place it in a text in the drawing?
For example, I have a block with 10 visibilities. I copied this block 10 times in the project and I put each one with a different visibility. Now I would like to make a label with the name of each visible state next to each block.

I am trying to tag doors in a drawing. What I want to see is the door size, so I turn on 'width' parameter, and turn visibility off on the border of the text. Change the size of the text to match, easy enough. Now I want to place the text along the open door in the floor plan view, but the tag always jumps to the center of the door frame. Can this be modified to do as I want? is there an alignment parameter I can alter? Perhaps tagging the door family and aligning it in the family editor? Does Revit is capable of doing this. Until then, I have to place the text for each individual door.

The client I have has 1 seat of factory Ultimate and 8 seats of factory premium.
The issue is the premium seats have an issue when you turn the visibility off on a part in the IPN you cannot turn it back on. This is on all the seats of the premium. There is no issue with Ultimate.
The service pack did not fix the issue. Now I know Autodesk there will never be a fix for this unless I up-grade seems to be the Autodesk way in the past 3 years.

Showing/not showing the same wipeout drawin in Model space in different Vports?
I make a wipe out in MODEL SPACE to "clean" behind an annotative text (also switching off the edge), is it possible show this wipe out only in certain Vport with a certain scale without having "holes" in general view of the same drawing in a different Vport in paper Space?
Something like an annotative wipeout. I tryed also creating an annotative block but it's not solve the problem, it keep hidding behind the block. I'm using AutocadLT2010

I have 2 problems:
1. created a turbine whose blades are made from some planes that I applied thicken offset command. I applied circular pattern to multiply the blade around center point but i get too many planes and i must to make invisible each one. How can i make invisible all planes in the same time.
2. After i make them invisibile i exit from that part but when i start that part again or when i place it in an assembly all planes are visible. What should i do to make them invisible for ever.

When opening Block Editor, the screen is black as opposed to previous white, and cannot get Visibility Manager button to function. Was working ok last week. Opened 2013, now same problem.
Other system is not experiencing this, and we have run the Repair / Re installation.

Is there a way to have one of the items in your visibility selection be an attribute that only brings up the attribute editor box when you select it? Right now I have a block with several different angle iron sizes that can be selected and I want one of them to be "Special" so a size that isn't in the list can be typed in if needed.
With ATTDIA set to 1 the editor box pops up every time it's inserted but nothing can be edited. Can I get that to go away yet still keep ATTDIA set to 1?

The attached part has multiple holes in multiple locations...... I want to show in the .idw one set "row" around the circumference at a time.
So I want to show set one, how far in from the end of the tube, then how many and at what degrees around the 360*. to do this i can only suppress the other features right now.
so when I make another View those same parts are suppressed and i cant change it around otherwise it messes with the holes I want and don't want to show in the previous view.

I sometimes edit parts in assemblies. When I turn sketch visibility on or off it does not stay the way I left it. I should be able to edit a part in part view or assembly and the view setting off or on should be how it was last saved. If I saved an ipt with the vision it should be on in any & all assemblies it lives in but its not. I have noticed the difference in new version 2012 - 2011 was no problem.

AutoCAD insists on making newly created layers visible in all previously established viewports, even when I have set the visibility to off when creating the new layer. I have found to correct the problem is by going viewport to viewport (with the layer window open), clicking within the viewport and changing the layer visibility to "off."
I would like to have a global variable for new layer viewport visibility. by default, I would turn-off all visibility of new layers in existing or new viewports. Then I could turn them on where I needed them without having to clean up after AutoCAD. This is a logical default, because if I have not previously established a layer, it is likely that I would not want/need to see that layer in most previously established viewports.

I know that you can select similar for color, layer, line type but is there a way to select by visibility state? All of my dynamic blocks use visibility states depending on which view you want it in (i.e. plan,front or side) and in most cases differant sizes of the object. I would like to be able to change let say the size of an object in the plan view from visibility state 1/2" insert plan to visibility state 1/4" insert plan without going to each block.

I found this to interesting and proven on having more than 1 Visibility Parameter. [URL] ......
Their block works perfectly, unfortunatelly I was unable to repeat their work. I can't create more than 1 Visibility Parameter on either 2007 or 2012 AutoCAD.
From some reason it does not want to use the defun commands. CAD loads it with no errors, both lsp files but once I'm trying to run those commands (visibility_add or move-parameter) it just gives me Unknown Command error.
I'm not good in Auto LISP, but how to make this piece of art to work ?
Maybe it's a AutoCAD version issue, but like described earlier I was doing the test on both 2007 and 2012 ver.

See attached screenshot.
Somehow my top level assembly shows the UCS triads for hundreads of my parts (but not all of them). I know I didn't turn the visibility of all these UCS triads on manually. Now I cannot get them to turn off.
When I toggle the visibility status of a few and save the file they come back when the file is reopened.
Note, they are NOT visibile in their respective part files, just in my top level assembly.

I'm using AutoCAD 2008 and trying to make a smart ceiling grid using the tools palette. The tool runs fine, however my grid doesn't show up in my drawing. I checked all my layers and they're fine. I think my ceiling grid visibility display is turned off.
Any command to turn it on? Checked the product, it gives me options to turn it on/off when it's already visible in a view, but this doesn't work since I can't see it at all.

How to manage the visibity of parts on a particular view? For example, in a view there 10 parts appeared. I would like to make only selected parts visible on the said view.
I have the manual steps on how to hide them but when I try to code it using the said step, the parts on the model file were hidden not in the view.
I use oView.ReferenceDocumentDescriptor.ReferenceDocument in traversing the parts but this refers to the model file.
Here is my
Set ViewDocument = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If Not nozzleName = ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
ViewOccurence.Visible = False
End If
Next

I'm doing a road project. i've got profile grades of existing left and right ditches. in some sections we're redoing the ditches so i've got proposed left and right ditch profiles. what i want to show is where i've got proposed ditch grades, i don't want to show existing ditch grades.
The new ditches happen intermittently on the road so i would need to be able to turn off the existing ditches at various places. is this possible without exploding my existing ditch grades?

How to manage the visibility of components in a particular view?
In attach file,View 2 is a detail view of view 1. On view 2, I want to display only the nozzle (Drain (H):1) and shell (C1306388341:1) component. So I need to set the visibility of the other component to false.When I try to code this, the components of model file of view 1 was updated not the view.
Set ViewDocument = oDetailView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If nozzleName <> ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
ViewOccurence.Visible = False
End If
Next
The reference document I set for my code is not the document which contains the view 2. So I need to the actual reference document where view 2 belongs which is in the box of view 2 that contains 5 components.

Is it possible to make a document invisible after it´s open? I would like to keep it in memory but not reachable to the user.
Making the document view(s) invisible is not what I´m looking for. I need to clear/close/delete all views WITHOUT closing the document..
( So it has the same state as if opened through API with the visible parameter set to false, e.g. Document.VIews.Count = 0
