In order to avoid duplicate text string in different places in the same drawing, I would like to have such a tool to find duplicate text string.
For instance, I want to put numbering of some connection lines, I do not want to have different lines but have same number by mistype.
how I could open an external .CSV file which is assigned to a variable called INFOFILE and scan line by line and replace each instance of the string "WIDGETTE" with the string "WIDGET"? I assume the function vl-string-subst woud be involved.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi failed to find one which would change string of a text to other for all types of objects. I mean it was usually either only multitext, or only text, dimensions or attributes.creating one which would change in abt 200 drawings:
-001
-002
-003
to:
-00001
-00002
-00003
in attributes, text, multittext, leaders, multileaders, dimensions..... at the same moment?
It is meant to be used in ScriptPro (by loading lisp in script).
If not possible, then can also open each file and run the lisp in each of them - still would save lot of time.
How i can filter attributes string value.
How i set the layer name is = attributes string value.
Example:
A attributes string value is R8 .all these string is set the layer name is same string value(R8).
how to create a fuzzy fiber, a string, (think of yarn that is used for knitting sweaters), and only found a link to creating rope. I want to create a soft, fuzzy piece of yarn. I've experimented with several brushes and found the chaulk brush and grass brush work pretty well, but when I try to apply a bevel, it flattens the look so it is unrealistic. Please suggest what I should do in my layer styles.

As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!
I was wondering if there is a way that AutoCad can edit one text string and the same change can affect another text string, instead of editing the same thing twice.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA quick way to find a layer within a style. I have been changing layers in our Code Sets and I can't seem to purge out a specific layer.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi have gotten a drawing from another user and have managed to purge all of thier layers except for one. I have deleted everything out of the drawing, done "select all" numerous times and deleted, but this layer still won't let itself be deleted. I have made sure it is not the current layer, w blocked the whole drawing etc. There was an ole image in this drawing at some stage, could that have left this horrible layer "25L"???

Unhide a layer to find that the geometry has screwed up possible verts shooting off into the distance. If so is it something i'm doing wrong or is MAX being random again???

1.In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), change the attribute to one frame.
2.In the Layers panel, click Unify Layer Position , Unify Layer Visibility , or Unify Layer Style to have the changed attribute apply to all other frames in the active layer.

I just bought the Intuos5 tablet and am now setting it up to work properly. It apparently has some issues with non-US keyboards and requires some shortcut remapping. Which wouldn't be a problem (I got brush size working), if only I could find the place where the layer cycling shortcuts are hidden.
I see this might be a rather dumb question, but I went through the Edit->Keyboard Shortcut menus multiple times and just couldn't find what I was looking for. is it possible to make Canvas Rotation seamless and not only by 90 degrees in CS2?
Is there a way to find the artwork/Layer below the given location of the Mouse?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAre there any scripts to find and replace layer names?
There is an excellent script available for Photoshop which allows you to not only replace words in layer names, but also insert words as Prefixes, Suffixes and Sequential Numbers. The illustrator version of this script only allows sequential numbering: It doesn't offer find and replacing of words.
Ideally, it would be great if there was something that could do multiple find and replaces in one go:
(E.g.
You have layers like this Car, Dog, Bat
You enter: car(Option1), dog(Option2), Bat(Option3)
Your layers then become: Option1, Option2, Option3).
)

I'm currently having a debate within my drafting dept. as to which string of dims is more correct..
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to custom dimensions about text of the coordinate in DWG. It should be like this:
I select a point then there displays a string of X,Y,Z coordinate of the point.
I select the second point to place a horizontal line(fixed lenth base the string font size) and then the string.
the whole process is like radialDimension,but what I need is to describe the point x,y,z.
and the drawing should consist of start point(actually is the target point too) and end point and the line connects the two points and a horizontal line and a string.
I think this should be completed using Dimension Class(should be CoordinateDimension based Dimension).
give me some codes. Codes is better in C# of VS2010 for autoCAD2010.
Actually there is a simple solution for this. Using c# to draw two lines and a string. But this is really bad experience when I want to move the string.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am lifting mtext from a drawing and then working with the result. For some reason the "\pxi-" at the beginning of the string I am lifting is converting to " pxi-" when worked with as a string in vb.net. The result is this, when I apply the string back to mtext I get a bunch of messed up formatting codes at the beginning rather than a formatted piece of text.
This seems to be related to the "\" Is this automatically getting modified by vb or autocad when I pull the source text?
I change a block's attributes programmatically using thisfunction I created:
private void UpdateAttributes(Database database, Detail det) { using (Transaction tr = database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { //Grab the BlockReference the detail refers to. BlockReference block = (BlockReference)tr.GetObject(det.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead); //Iterate over the Attribute ids. foreach (ObjectId [code].......
You can ignore the Detail and Detail Attribute objects as they are also user-defined. Also note that this function expects the database to be currently open for working on.
Everything in this function works fine, but there is a strange quirk that becomes noticeable only when I use this function to edit an attribute that has its "Invisible" property set to "No".
Below, is the original block that is edited via this function:
As you can see, the block has a number with 4 digits (for our purposes, call this the Block Number).
In a drawing, i have several text strings, 's', that i would like to change to a known block... is this able to be done? there are over 3000 's' in the drawing, hoping to change them all to the same block. let me know if this can be done.
