AutoCad 3D :: How To Edit Block In A Way Which Removes Original Origin Of Block

May 23, 2013

I use AutoCAD for mac 2013. I'm a interior design student and I have a question regarding editing 3D Blocks which can be downloaded from the web.

If I download a 'free' 3D Block, is it possible to edit the block in a way which removes the 'original origin' of that block?? I have tried exploding the block and redefining it in a wblock file and changing the layer. But I'm not sure if this process has removed the original information which it came from...

If there is a way to remove the origin (that is came from the web).

AutoCad :: Global Edit / Block Attributes Rotation BACK To Match Block Rotation

Dec 13, 2012

using AutoCAD 2009 (vanilla)

I got too smart for myself today in bringing an old drawing up to current standards...Everyone seems to want their block attributes to be zero - I have blocks where the attributes are best when they match the rotations of each blocks.

I have an old drawing that was rotated (as it should be) at approx 2deg.

I used a lisp routine to global edit all the blocks that needed to be at zero. BUT for some reason (and after hundreds of blocks were corrected), I noticed I now have two blocks that should NOT have been in the set have had their attributes rotated to zero....and the attributes should be at the same rotation as their block's rotation.

Because those two blocks have a fixed tic mark, I can click on the mark to see what the block rotation is, then rotate its attribute to that rotation, but I have hundreds of blocks! One-at-a-time sucks....

Any chance there is a GLOBAL way to edit an attribute rotation to match its own block's rotation?

AutoCad :: Distortion Of Geometric Drawings

Jan 19, 2014

I'm not sure that this problem has anything to do with Autocad, or maybe my Video settings or adaptor, but I get an awful distortion of geometric drawings on my monitor, and yet the objects print out correctly. for example a perfect circle shows up as an elipse and enclosed is what a perfect square looks like.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Disabling Geometric Constraints All Together?

Oct 17, 2010

When I installed AutoCAD 2011 for Mac the geometric constraints automatically to everything that I draw. There doesn't seem to be anything about turning this feature off all together in documentation. I can do it with a selection set, but when I would have to do it to every line that I draw, it seems pretty ridiculous.

AutoCAD .NET :: Ordinate Dimension In Blocks - Getting Geometric Extents

Sep 9, 2013

I am drawing ordinate dimensions in blocks and then I am getting the geometric extents of these blocks, if the block contains the dimension, the extents are much larger than expected. What may be the cause?

See the attached drawing, the lines are  connecting geometric extents MinPoint and MaxPoint. For the blocks that don't have dimension in them, the extents are correct.

AutoCad :: Edit Block Text Without Exploding

Jan 8, 2012

I create schematics of lighting control systems for my job, the controllers on my schematic have multiple outputs which I need to modify so they're relevant to the job.

At present I have all my blocks in a tool palette and just click and drop to add them to my schematic.

How can I tailor the text of a block without exploding it? Is this even possible?

AutoCad :: Edit Dynamic Block Action?

Dec 12, 2011

Basically, I have a dynamic block with a distance parameter attached to an array command. The array command has a column distance of 30 inches between columns. I need to edit that distance. Is there a way to do it or do I have to start over? I have to start over, I might cry a little bit. There are a lot of other actions compounded on top of this one.

I'll attach the file, but if you edit it for me, how you did it so I'll know? Tech a man to fish and all that nonsense.

Oh, and I'm using 2012 vanilla AC, which has a different block editor than most other versions, so beware. Oh, and I don't use ribbons..

AutoCad 2D :: Edit Attribute Order In Block - DWG

Jan 31, 2013

I am updating a block with attributes, adding some new, removing some old and moving the rest around. As can be expected, when I am done and save the block and insert it the order of the attributes are all messed up.

Now, as far as I can understand, BATTMAN changes the order of the attributes all right - but only in that drawing where the block is inserterd in. I want to change the order permanently. This block is to be used on pretty much all of our projects, I can't have to run Battman all the time!

AutoCad :: Edit Dynamic Block In-place

Oct 25, 2011

I use refedit quite a bit to edit blocks in-place, but can't find a way to do this with dynamic blocks without breaking the link to the original definition and creating a new block definition.

Is there a setting I can change, or another way to edit a dynamic block in-place?

AutoCad :: Edit Block Description Without Exploding

Feb 19, 2009

I have multiple dynamic blocks that I would like to add descriptions to. If I have a block in a tool palette, I can add a description by right clicking and selecting "Properties." But I would like to add a description that shows up in the Design Center as well.

Is there a way to do this without redefining the block? Exploding makes me lose all of my dynamic properties, and I'd hate to have to recreate them.

I'm using LT 2008, by the way, so I don't have ref edit or any of that other cool stuff.

AutoCad :: Can't Edit Block By Double Clicking

Aug 20, 2013

I think a setting changed on my pc this weekend. I used to be able to double click the block and edit the attributes in the editor. Now, I can't change any values. I can only get to the dialog that shows info on the block and when I right click, I only have a few commands come out of the flywheel. I rebooted, but no go.

AutoCad :: Drawing Invisible After Block Edit?

Feb 21, 2008

I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2007.

A drawing contained several layers, some of them locked, others de-activated during ongoing works. I wanted to edit a block used in the drawings. I selected the block and opened the block editor. After deleting some elements of the block, I had to explode a couple of elements from the block to delete further details. I selected all the remaining ones. Than I hit the toolbar button MAKE BLOCK, next I closed the block editor.

Now all of the model space appears empty except of the ONE block I edited, everything else disappeared. How can I undo the changes and bring the proper drawing back?

I tried the procedure on an earlier version - minor changes don't cause any harm to the file. But once I exploded parts of the block during editing, the error appears. When I lock up the block list, the edited one shows a sign saying "Dynamic Block" which may be the root of all evil (as the unknown is always the evil).

How to recover my drawing? Getting the backup from tape takes ages, deadline is close.

I"m using LT2011 on a WIN7 machine.After blockedit the cursor will freeze for a short period about every 2 seconds.When this is happening, there are also more disk accesses.

Re-starting the application stops this frustrating behaviour until I edit another block.Are there any updates that may deal with this problem?

AutoCad :: Edit A Title Block At Bottom Of Page

May 10, 2012

I would like to know how I can edit my Title Block at the bottom of my page. I used to be able to select it in the past when opening the new template file. However after I performed drawings in the model window and back to the layout, I cannot click or edit the field anymore. I tried highlighting using my mouse, shifting layers and exploring right click commands but nothing good came up.

Refer to the attachment what I mean. I am running AutoCAD 2013 and I am on the "AutoCAD Classic" theme.

I tried doing a search online and on the forum with keywords such as "edit title", "edit name" but nothing relevant came up.
