I have a series of blocks with all the same attribute tag names. I need to create a function that allows me to change a block from one to another within a drawing.
Can I do this by just changing the block ID? or do I need to go through and grab all the info from the old block and insert a new block with the attribute values and then delete the old block.
Is it possible to link a parameter value to a function? I want text or attributes to never be "upside down".
If it is rotated with a rotation parameter the text would need to be automatically flipped or rotated if the angle is less than say >3*PI / 4 and < 7*PI/8.
At the moment when I use our company tool palette and select a block when I insert it if I hit the CTRL key on my keyboard the insertion point jumps between all the points in my block be it stretch points, base points or basic points.
If I create my own palette and add my blocks to it, the CTRL function doesn't work when I select a block.
I was able to find/update a LISP program that returns the dynamic block to its original state, overriding the anonymous name and make the actual block name the effective name. I am in the process of manipulating the LISP program so I can select multiple blocks rather than one at a time.
(defun CYMEFFEC ()(vl-load-com) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "Select blocks: ")))) (vlax-put obj 'Name (vlax-get obj 'Effectivename)))
I'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

Any way this can happen in a reasonable time frame, say in a release or 2,since view creation takes so long?Or did you development guys sneak that into R9?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was able to use Inventor "Save Copy As" function to create zgl files. When the zgl files were viewed with "Imagination View" program, some files looked good, while some others do not show any geometry (just white background). Do I need to change anything in the Model before executing "Save Copy As" function?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a small dynamic block that manipulated some lines (attached). The properties table allows s1, b1, b2 and c to be modified. The white lines control the cyan and red.
The red-lines have an array within (green lines) which I want to lock to the blue line parametrically. The array may be dragged physically but thats not the point; its need to be automatic (Revit style).
I would like a small menu to pop up near the cursor like the middle mouse button menu, but based on some other function key or quick key shortcut.

In CS4, I could crop a larger picture to a size such as 9"x12" without actually resizing it, just eliminating the unwanted areas. It seems this is no longer possible as now when cropping, the positions on the rulers are not marked as I determine the crop size. So I can set the size to be 9x12, and whatever crops will expand to that, I assume with interpolated pixels and possible detail loss.
If unconstrained is used, then you don't know what the size will be till the crop is done and it realigns with the rulers.
Before, I could either enter the numbers, such as 6" 8" 300dpi, if I wanted to enlarge a smaller image, as I still can do now. But also, with CS4, I had made a preset with no numbers, similar to unconstrained, but with the positions showing on the rulers, so I could draw to whatever size I wanted, within a larger image, so when a crop was made, area was removed but there was no re figuring of the size. This is more like cutting out a picture on paper, while now it seems only a stretching of the area can be done.
This seems absolutly silly.

I'm trying to build a command to replace AutoCAD's "DI" command, to give distance and delta x, y, and z values in decimal and imperial, and keep the angles in XY plane and out of XY plane.
I just want to ask if its possible to swap or change the models wich are used by the new populate function? The texture can be changed when i overwrite the original ones in the temp folder. Is that true?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem, i need create a function delay in the timeline with a trigger.
I want that my animation play every 3 seconds until the next sym.stop and then play again after 3 seconds.
Ej. I have 3 triggers in the timeline:
sym.stop(1000)
sym.stop(2000)
sym.stop(3000)
My idea is make a delay in all the triggers, like this:
sym.stop(1000)
delay.play (2000)
sym.play
sym.stop(2000)
delay.play (2000)
sym.play
sym.stop(3000)
delay.play (2000)
sym.play

using the sub-object SET VOLUME function to change the shape of the lattice (down to the positions of the individual points) does not affect where the object deforms. The only way to alter the lattice is to go sub-object LATTICE and move the whole lattice prior to deformation.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just only started trying to create Dynamic Blocks.
Here's what I have trouble with, I want to make the 2 "rectangles" in the fridge drawing stretch accordingly when I move the arrows for the compressor (the X).
But I want them to scale together and move so that they are still within the fridge part.
I tried a lot of Scales and Moves but I keep getting weird results.
I have the Dynamic Block here along with 3 examples of the fridges, what I'm trying to do.

really simple this but I want to change the colour of some blocks. There are already some of this block in the drawing, but I am adding additional ones and want these to show up by changing the colour to red.
The blocks have been created in Layer 0, and inserted on another layer. When I highlight the blocks in question I can change the colour to Red, but even though the ribbon says otherwise they are still appearing in the original colour.
I have about 100 blocks. They are different in many ways, but all have multiple linear distance parameters, and these have the distance max set to lengths (all of them have different lengths).
I'd like to be able to change the distance max without having to open each block and do this manually.
Is it possible to export block info into Excel and then change it in Excel, and reimport into AutoCAD, saving the new information?
Or is there another way, through Lisp or some other part of AutoCAD that I don't know about?
I have a couple of blocks I've drawn in the wrong layer. I manage to get them over into the layer I want, but the color remains the same as the layer I drew them in. Do you have to go in an change it to a set color instead of "color by layer", or is there another way?

I have an access database attached to a blank drawing. The database is a list of existing oil wells. I want to have civil3d (or map) create a custom block (I already have the blocks created) inserted at a coordinate in the database and propagate the other fields in the database into attributes in the blocks. For instance, the first two fields in the database are the x and y. Some of the other fields in the database are the well status and company name. Is it possible for Map to read the first two fields to know where to put the block, then select the block to insert based on wells status and company name, and then complete attributes from the other fields (section, township, range, county, etc) into the block? I'm having a hard time getting my head wrapped around the map3d user's guide talking about topologies, link templates, object classifications, etc. Using Civil3D 2013 infrastructure design suite, Win 7 64-bit, office 64-bit.

I've been working a while with AutoCad now but this week I received a task which I am not sure is not even possible to do.
I've been exporting drawnings from an other program into AutoCad2013 and all the objects in my drawning appear as loose objects in AutoCad. Can AutoCad create automatically blocks from these loose objects ?
Example : I added a picture of a transformer in this message. This object (2 circles, triangle and star) becomes all loose objects and is NOT one symbol anymore. My question is, if it it is possible that Autocad can recognize these loose objects and create automatically blocks from them. There are a lot of transformers in my drawnings and If I have to do it myself it will be loads of work.
Another thing they asked to do is working with correct European Symbols. I should therefore change blocks in my drawnings into correct one's. I believe when the wrong symbol is already a block it's more easy to change them. I think I should just select all wrong blocks, edit them and then update them. But before this, I have to get blocks in my drawning ofcourse.
i use autocad 2011. I need to create some lighting bloks and put them in some library to use in some porject and also export it to other pc as well. How can I create library?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.
I have a drawing in house that has issues. When using edit/ copy and edit / paste on a block within the drawing, the block changes to another block when pasted. On a side note, it comes in at the rotation of the original object which was copied. I believe that I am using V.2000
