AutoCAD .NET :: Draw A Border Around All Entities In Drawing

Jun 21, 2013

I am trying to make a button such that if the user clicks it, AutoCAD will automatically draw a border that just includes all entities in the drawing.(Something) like the viewport border in the paper space)

Approach #1: The first approach could be zoom extent and draw a border around the zoomed view. how to zoom extent and draw a polyline, but can't figure out the exact size of zoomed view.

Approach #2 (optimal) : If the entity is a right circle and my AutoCAD window is not in square shape (for example, the AutoCAD window is maximized and my monitor is wide-screen monitor), Approach #1 will create redundant spaces at the right and left side of the circle entity. So if I could get the grid coordinate of far left, far right, top, and bottom entities, I can draw the optimal border around all entities in the drawing.

GIMP :: Extend Drawing Border And Change It From Square Outer Border To Round

Nov 11, 2012

I have a drawing that has a white background.

I would like to add more to the white background to make it bigger without having to stretch it and distort the image.

I want to place a circle shaped outline border around the original image with a set border thickness and color and be able to crop/remove the portion of the image beyond the outline, changing it from a square/rectangle image to a circular image.

If I am not able to change the drawing to have a round outer border from square, how can I make the outer parts past the newly created circular outline transparent?

AutoCad 2D :: Scaling Individual Entities In A Drawing

Oct 26, 2012

I have a dxf file that consists of multiple rectangles (filled). I need to keep the X-Y position of each rectangle / entity the same but scale the size of the rectangle.

So for example, scale by -10%. If its a filled rectangle centered at (1,1) size (2,2) I need it to be centered at (1,1) and size (1.8, 1..

DXF is a text file and I can write a piece of VBA code to go through, decode the text, find the rectangles, scale, save the text file back to DXF.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Ghost Entities In Template Drawing?

Feb 22, 2013

I created a drawing where I created a grading object (pad) under a site, a couple of alignements, etc.

After deleting everything to maintain layer states and settings, I saved the drawing as a starting template for day to day drawing (left it as a dwg, not dwt)

When I start a new drawing from a saveas of the template, it says that there is already a grading group named 'pad' but there isn't anything shown in the prospector.  Purge hasn't worked.  Any ghost entities left in a drawing.

I've also noticed that if you screw up a grading and try to delete the entire site and start over...you get weird results too.  It's like it remembers old stuff you did (ghost entities) and won't let you start with a clean slate.?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Exports Entities From One Drawing To Another

Oct 2, 2011

I know through the block command you can write out a selection of entities to a single drawing.But what I am wondering is if it is possible to have two drawings open, and transfer data quickly between the two?

As an example as we are detailing an assembly we create a title block around a detail, put dimensions and notes on as needed and would then like that to be transfered into another drawing next to the previously transfered detail drawing.

This is something that I have seen in my previous employers drawing sheets but I would now like to add one to my own sheet.

I have looked into Plot Stamp command but this just seems to give me options for the date or tab name and not where the drawing is saved.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting A Drawing Border To Act On A Modified Custom Property

Feb 20, 2012

The company I work for produce drawings for various types of fabrication.

Using Inventor I have a drawing border in which tolerance values change depending on the type of fabrication to be produced. The type of fabrication (0,1,2,or 3) is designated by a custom property entered during part/fab model creation.

This property may change depending on various production factors. The issue I have is how do I get the border to recognize this potential change in fab type and populate the tolerance fields with the necessary information?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Created Drawing Border - Text Goes Up The Creek After Export

Jul 31, 2012

I'm having real difficulties getting my drawing borders to work between Inventor and AutoCAD. I am using Product Design Suite 2012.

I have created a drawing border using Inventor, which is the template for any drawings I produce. I often export the Inventor drawings into AutoCAD 2007 dwg's to send to customers. However, it seems all the text goes up the creek after the export...

When I open the exported AutoCAD drawing, first I explode the drawing border. Then, if I scale the border from within AutoCAD, none of the text wants to scale up. - I've attached the border. I've tried several different ways to fix it using text styles, heights (setting to 0) etc and still no luck!

How to fix the text scaling?!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Removing Sketch Image From Drawing Border Definition

Nov 13, 2013

What is the proper syntax for removing a bmp file inserted into a drawing border defintiion?  I am using VB.net. 

I got all the way into editing the sketch of my border defintion... 

I know the name of the sketch image I want to delete it's something like "C:Temp12345678.bmp"

So I wanted to use the name to get the image file and set it to a variable.  Then run the .Delete() command on that.  But it's not working. 

This is what I have, where oCSTicBorderDef is equal to the border defintiion of the active document..

Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch
oCSTicBorderDef.Edit(oSketch)
Dim strImageDirectory AsString

[Code].....

AutoCad :: Use Two Layout Tabs With Drawing Border At Scale Of 1:1250 And 1:1500

Nov 18, 2012

I haven't used AutoCAD for seven years and when I did use it, it was for mechanical engineering purposes. Now I am using AutoCAD LT for architectural reasons. I've signed up to my local night school to get back into things.

I am making a location plan for a planning permission application to the local authority. I bought a 4 hectare or so location plan from the Ordinance Survey. I've drawn in the location of the proposed building and changed the relevant site boundaries to red and blue.

Now I want to use two layout tabs with a drawing border at a scale of 1:1250 and 1:1500 respectively. The existing scales appear to be in imperial units.

How can I change this?

AutoCad 2D :: Draw U Bolt In Isometric Drawing?

Nov 19, 2013

I am trying to draw a "u bolt" in an isometric drawing. I found one solution, that served the purpose of giving the customer the general idea of the stands we are trying to sell them, but I'd like to know if there is a way to draw it properly.

I have attached a pdf to show what I came up with. Pipe Stands.pdf The only way I could think to get it to work (look right) in isometric view was to draw to vertical lines, make an arc across them with the elipseisocircle, and then use the path array to fill the U shape with the isocircles. This keeps the tubular shape, and the number of circles resembles bolt threads.

My problem is that the u-bolt is only threaded on the ends, the arched part should be smooth. Since this u bolt is to clamp fiberglass pipe to the stand, those threads (in my drawing) could cause damage. In this instance, I just explained this in the email to the customer, but I'd like to find a way to draw it proper.

AutoCad :: Draw Splines Creates A Jog Or Tail In Drawing

Sep 13, 2012

Sometimes, not in every drawing, but in certain drawings when we draw a spline it creates a jog or tail.

So when we do the command spline and click the start point then move to do the next point it will have this jog or tail at the beginning of the spline. sometimes we get it at the beginning and sometimes at the end.

How do I make it stop? is there a setting that I need to change? We typically work on drawings from Architect / Engineers.
