I am now working for an oil company, nd we do arather a lot of work involving lifting plans with chain hoists etc.
My question is, is there any way of make a linetype that automatically draws chain. At the moment, i have to manually draw a link, and copy and paste with basepoint to the reuired length, and then "block" it. however, when we come to alter these drawings, they are a nightmare to alter all the chain sections.
If there was a way of developing a linetype that automatically made these chains, it would speed things up so much.
If my SNAP is turned OFF it automatically turns itself ON when i draw some linework. It keeps doing this in certain 2D only cad files. As a temporary fix i have tried to set my snap spacing to .0001 to keep the crosshairs running smoothly but they still appear excessively jumpy at about 1 unit. This only happens in plotable drawings that contain a certain 2D xref and the offending xref itself. If i unload all the xrefs the problem DISAPPEARS, although this doesn't let me draft any easier!
My OSNAP is working fine although it does reset itself when i have been using certain LISP routines.
FYI, if I open the same drawing on another users computer the SNAP stays off and the crosshairs run smooth.
Is there any way to simply automatically draw a curve that traces the borders of a selection?

From this point I want to start drawing few lines.And I don't know how to switch to AutoCad and get current drawing space.
Drawing Parrallel lines from one elipse to another?
I am drawing pipe and beams.
I use a variety of methods. Right now I just SNAP to the elipse, draw the lines at the angles and then hit the other elipse. Sometimes though the lines jump all around the elipse.
I am trying to draw lines(orange colored) on this 3d object(crimson colored). Every time I go to select the lines to alter them I end up only being able to select the 3d object they are on. How do I turn off the selection of the 3d objects or anything on that layer?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSomehow i can't draw lines with different lineweight. I can change the color and the linetype but the lineweight doesn't. In the properties toolbar over the workspace the last option (after lineweight) is not active and shows bycolor!I suppose that is the problem why i can't draw lines with different lineweight!

How do we draw three lines instead on one? As an architect, the exterior walls are 3-lines for brick construction. How can I draw with 3-lines instead of one in Aouto Cad 13 for Mac?

I know there is such a command in autocad map 3D, but is there a way to do it in LT? With a macro?
I have attached a picture of the parcels that I like to break at each intersection has an example.
Then I go on to use the OVERKILL command which works very well.

But I can't understand how to draw the lines with that measure in fractions. I have my units set in "Architecture : Inches".
For example, in the right line that is: 9'-11 7/8''
What I do is, start the line command, click anywhere on the gril (because it doesn't say where start... so I guess you could click anywhere, although I am not sure about that either). And then I put, @9
I am not able to draws circles and lines etc. using the ribbon or the command line. i am using the correct procedures per the tutorials and I have Google search how to add circles. I click the circle on the ribbon, choose my center point and drag to choose the radius, left click and no circle, same procedure for a simple line.
Is there something that needs to be activated for these to work? I have an activation code which I do not remember using when I installed the software, I only remember using the serial number and product key.
In AutoCAD, or some 3rd party software perhaps.
Is there a way to automatically display the dimension of lines or objects as you draw them? I looked at dimensional constraints, but AutoConstrain doesn't seem to have an option to automatically apply dimensional constraints....right?

I have a problem drawing straight lines. Normally, like everyone, I will start from any given point and the line i wish to draw will snap to 0, 90 or 180 degrees. However there is now no snapping and no straight lines.
I have tried resetting SNAPANG to 0 (it is already set to 0) and this works for maybe the next 3 lines but then I am back to square one and cannot draw a straight line without constantly having to reset SNAPANG.
I've tried resetting USC to world. I've also tried changing PLAN to view and world.
I have received some electrical drawings that i'm making some alterations to. When i try to draw a line between fittings it just disappears. I'm not very experienced with auto cad and only really use it to alter drawings for final designs.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe are using AutoCad 2011 and 2008.When any draw is open everything seems to be just fine, but when we print it out then it came out with lines around the objects(green, grey...)
We have tried 4 different printers with all drivers that we could found on internet, with no success. On the ploter we aren't having any problems and the lines are gone.Also the AutoCad 2006 is without the problems, but we want to move on to the version 11
Is there any setting which we should change?

I have to draw hundreds of lines that have same start point. How can i do this?
I am trying to insert a picture but seem impossible for me. Sow i have lines with the same start point and different endpoints. There is a short way to do this. so avoid to enter the same start point for hundreds times or snap the the same point infinitely... what about Copy with grips or Change command in this case?
when you draw on a black background with white, it comes out black ink on white paper.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm working in ACAD 2012. I am at times, unable to draw simple vertical lines in the z-axis. Drawing pluming riser diagrams in 3D. Steps I am taking,
1) Opening the drawing.
2) X referencing a floor plan.
3) Changing the view using the cube to SW Isometric
4) Using the LINE command selecting a point, aligning the cursor with what seems like the Z-axis and entering the distance, heighten enter.
The line drawn is flat. This line can be seen as flat when rotating views. The only solution I have found is to use the "Reset Autocad Settings to Default"
Observations: Sometimes I am able to draw in 3D just fine, but something will happen in the middle of the drawing process that will now only allow me to draw flat. Also was never able to draw polylines in 3D is that how it's supposed to be? Used another computer with the same drawing, at first won't allow me to draw in 3D but after a couple attempts will eventually draw in 3D just fine. Tried starting from a blank template, no luck. Tried changing drawing space to 3D modeling and 3D basics, no luck. Also, when working drawings with existing 3D objects, I am able to snap to vertical point as a start point but cannot snap to a point on any other points on the object that at are at a different elevation.
I have this code to draw grid lines within a rectangle:

Error: " msg)) ) (and ;(vl-bt) (var_reset) ) (princ) ) (defun string-list (data) ;by lee-mac @theswamp (if (vl-string-search "@" [code].........
The above gets me the grid lines; but I have a block inserted at both ends of the grid line; how do I get the selection of those entities (selection set "frame") after each array?
or I would need to map a point list and draw each grid individually how do I go about that?
Attached is the sample of the output I'd like to achieve using LISP.
