how to create a new polyline which vertex is from a old polyline. My code seems have a copy a polyline in debug, but I can't find the new polyline in AutoCAD,why?
The code is below:
[CommandMethod("CopyPartPolyline")]
public void CopyPartPolyline()
{
[Code].....
Is there a way, when you are drawing a polyline, to have the tooltip box show the cumulative length of the polyline, rather than the length of the current segment being drawn?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDue to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:
- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties
- convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object
- method -> fit from properties
You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.
I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?
Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.
However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.
how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.
I've been working on a custom polyline object, and I've got it functioning!!Having said that, I plan to run its creation around picking a point for bounary selection.
(Other than trying to step through every vertecies) is there a technique I can thow the polyline data from a traceboundary result into my custom object? I've been trying to add the polyline from traceboundary to my object BEFORE it's added to the transaction by the way...I assume that's right, since I want to put it's data in my custom object then add my custom object to the transaction instead.
I want to convert a 3D polyline to 2D polyline.

I know this can be done via PEDIT, but its so laborious and soo many clicks, and I have alot of segmented Polylines that I need to consolidate when I draft.
Any way I can align a new polyline to a reference polyline (orig polyline).
The 2 polys will be generally the same length, however, the number of vertices will differ.
Also I need to mantain the same distance between the vertices on the new poly and the new and reference poly won't follow the same direction.
How do you find 'if' a polyline is inside another polyline?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI can do this in AutoCAD Map but I have my doubts. I will explain in ESRI GIS terms (this is what I am familiar with) and I hope you can tell me if I can do this in AutoCAD Map. In ESRI ArcMap I can select a line and I can hit a Select by Location button. In this window I can select all of the objects that intersect my selected line. Then I can delete them or export them etc.
In AutoCAD Map I have a polyline selected. It is my road centerline. I want to be able to select all of the other polylines that intersect my selected polyline. Is there a way to do this? I need to erase those polylines. Usually I will pan to each of them and select them individually. It just seems to take a lot of time. My AutoCAD co-worker said I could use a fence and draw the fence through my polylines. It seemed to work ok but I accidently deleted extra things that I needed. So I'm back to manually selecting each one by one unless you know a different way.

I am running AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2012. When editting Text or MText, if I try to highlight some part of text, it does highlight BUT it does not show the highlight. What I mean is like if you were to highlight some text of this paragraph, on any internet explorer, it should highlight whatever text with blue. On every other version of AutoCAD, this is also the case. On my AutoCAD, I can highlight the text but it never shows the blue highlight, it does not show it as I am highlighting, nor does not show after I make my selection. If you are very careful you can still select the correct text, but this makes it very hard to know exactly what you are about to edit or delete. I was wondering if there is some setting that may have been in previous AutoCAD that I don't know about that somehow got changed or something?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow I can disable the feature that highlights external references when they are selected in the xref manager. When large drawings are referenced (and many of them), selecting references in the xref manager takes a lot of wasted time. It seems like each xref needs to regen just to select it in the manager. I know which referenced drawings I want to select and I don't need the visual clues, so I'd like to dump that feature if at all possible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there exists an Autocad command that would allow the user to click an object, and then "highlight" all instances of the object. Refer to the attached pdf -hopefully it can convey what my words cannot.
For example:
The block name is "resistor" and there are 10 instances of this block. When I click the block "resistor", a dialog box will open, displaying the 10 "resistor" blocks.
When I select one of the ten "resister" blocks, that block will become highlighted. The reason for this is that I am building a very large electrical drawing, and this feature would make it infinitely easier to navigate. I know this feature exists in Matlab and I was wondering if Autocad allows for this kind of command.
The Mtext Editor allows one to change the text highlight color by going through the Text Formatting toolbar, clicking the arrow drop-down menu, and selecting Editor Settings > Text Highlight Color...
This brings up a Select Color dialog box with a single Index Color tab, which lists the default color of 16,62,112 greyed-out in the Color field. In AutoCAD LT 2008, one can select any AutoCAD Color Index (ACI) color from a range of 1-255, including the seven basic color names for colors 1-7. In the full version of AutoCAD 2008 (and possibly other versions of LT?), there are additional tabs for True Color and Color Books, however these tabs are not present in LT. AutoCAD LT limits text highlight colors to ACI colors only, excepting the default color of 16,62,112 as noted above.
My problem stems from changing the text highlight color in a quick experiment: there is no apparent way to restore AutoCAD LT's default text highlight color of 16,62,112, since it is not an ACI color. I can pick a sort-of-close ACI color instead (I'm currently using color 156), but it seems like there should always be a mechanism to restore any variable to its default setting.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen you use Inventor command "Inspect" -->"Analyze Interference" command to analyze interference of two component, it not only gives you the interference volume, but also highlight the interference volume area to exactly identify it, as shown in the attached screen shot.
We want to implement this interference analyze using API. But the API sample (in AssemblyComponentDefinition.Analyze Interference Method) only gives the way to highlight the two interfering component occurrences and the interference volume, but there is no way to know where they exact interfere. So how to highlight the the interference location as in the inventor command? or does inventor exposes this function to API?

I have a certified 3D device with a driver version that is certified (Quadro 4000) but the active viewport boundary highlight is out of place. The white lines in this image are my viewport boundary highlight which is out of position. This only seems to happen when I turn off the viewport layer. If the viewport layer is on the highlight appears as expected.
