I am trying to get the coordinate of the lastly appended(added) point object.
It seems like I need to use "ObjectAppended" event.
However, when the event is triggred, it looks like the sender object is "Database" (not Point object).
How could I retrieve the point object therefore the coordinates of the point using "Database" (sender object)?
I'm having a problem with showing the both x,y coordinates for a certain point , know how can i do that , and by the way I'm using Auto-CAD 2005, because whenever i try to show it , it either show the X - coordinate or the y - coordinate alone but i need to show both of them for example this point (4.2 , 2.2).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a complex assembly from Solidworks few years ago. I imported it to Inventor 2012. How can I find the coordinate of the center point of the: a) parts/sub-assemblies, b) the complex assembly as a whole? Under Application Options, I have already checked: Sketch->Display->Coordinate system indicator. Under the assembly tree, I can go to the Origin of each sub-assembly/part and make the corresponding Center Point visible. However, I want the x,y,z values.
I copied and pasted a sub-assembly/part to a new assumbly file and then used VRMLout to export. When I imported the .wrl files to another application, the location of the parts/subassembies are not correct. I think they all became (0,0,0).
I wonder if there is a way to get an intersecting point coordinate of two polylines(lines) programmatically.
For example, like in the below sample picture, I need to get coordinates of the points in the red cycles.
Is there any method that I can easily use?
Could I get a sample code snippet that computes the coordinates? (in C# & ObjectARX 2010 if possible?)
I've looked up "Through the Interface" and this disscussion group. couldn't find any useful yet.
Is there anyway to create a point from the coordinate and elevation data listed in a section inquiry panel (see attached)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working with Layers, added text boxes to point out areas in a diagram. But, when I go to move the text to align it, the layer moves more than just that text. Why? There is a box around the entire picture to start with, and when I move the text on layer 2, it works. But when I go to layer 3 to move that text into place, it will move part of 2, or the original picture layer. Do I need to disable something?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to match up certain points. I have imported 2 point clouds and have tried to use the 'align' tool to specify three points from the source object (cloud) and three points from the destination object (cloud). When doing this, it does not properly align them. The point cloud makes it difficult to select the exact point I would like to align, since there may not be a point at that exact location, but close to it. Does AutoCAD require the points in alignment to match up perfectly or is it capable of doing a best fit?
Also, is AutoCAD capable of creating a solid 3D piece from the point cloud? I would like to take all of my points and make a smooth object.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSeem like when I cut and paste objects from one file to another, particularly objects with different annotative scale, my lexisting ayers would get corrupted. Standard layer names will be appended with "@_96" at the end (i.e. "symbols" to "symbols@_96"l . The 96 would represent the annotative scale factor in the current file. If I exit out and reopen the file, all layer names will return bsck to normal. However if I cont. to work on the file for a long time, the file will get corrupted. when restore, a lot of annotative symbols that where on different "@_96" layers will merge into on new "audit" layer. Sometimes the symbols show up with a different current annotative scale
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 3dsmax 2013 and would be forever grateful for a solution to a parameter wiring problem. In simple question form: How do you wire a slider helper to rotate an object in LOCAL coordinate mode? I've tried it a hundred times and it's not wiring the rotation parameter in LOCAL coordinate mode, it defaults to world or view coordinate mode. (Look at gif attachment)
To replicate this issue in 3dsmax 2013, simply create a cube in the viewport.
In perspective view(or any other), switch to local coordinate mode and rotate it off center any way you wish. Now create a helper of manipulator-->slider type. Right click on the slider, click wire parameter-->value and link to the Box rotation in Z. Make the connection through a one way (--> wiring from slider to box.
Now when you move the slider value, the box doesn't rotate in local coordinate mode, it rotates in world coordinates or view coordinates. Whatever it is, it's not local. What is the expression for LOCAL coordinate rotation? By default the expression in the slider box of wire parameter dialog is z_rotation(or something like that). Looking at the maxscript reference, I've tried Local_Euler_z_rotation and other stuff. I can't figure out how to just get a local coordinate mode rotation through a simple wire parameter link to a slider.
I'm learning AutoCAD's api and it's going pretty good. I would like to let user select some objects in model.
In model space we have few blocks (filled circles with center point). I'm iterating through the objects, and storing center points into some array (just example).
Now I would like to check if at each point I have specify object (like line, polyline, etc), so in other way - if my object is intersecting with line/polyline.
Method IntersectWith determine points between two objects, but I know (and if yes to get) if there is line/polyline at this point.
Is there any smart way to do this? Instead of iterating each block through each line/polyline?

Using AutoCAD from another drafting program and trying to determine if AutoCAD has a feature I have become used to. The program I am using is Vectorworks and they have these items called loci. They are basically just snap points that do not print and are not actually geometry. They are great though for aligning items and referencing points. Is there a similar item in autocad?

I have created user defiined properties to add up to 5 inverts to a topo point object. Each consists of the direction of the invert as an enumerated list that can be picked from (N, NE, S, SE, etc) and the second is the measured distance from rim down to IE. I created these in order IE1_Dir, IE1_Meas, IE2_Dir, IE2_Meas, etc and the first time I used it everything worked fine and was in the proper order. Now after opening the drawing for a 2nd time all of the UDP's are scrambled making it a bit of a PITA to enter into the proper fields.
I do not see any logical order to why it is displaying this way as if it was in order of creation or alphebetical it would not have changed. Is there any way to correct this or is this a case of Civil 3D is going to do whatever it wants to do?
