I want to draw a line from a point. How do I add a length to a 3dpoint?
I want to add 3' in x to pte.
Dim pts As Point3d 'start point
Dim pte As Point3d 'end point
Dim prPtRes As PromptPointResult = ed.GetPoint(vbLf & "Select insertion point: ")
pts = prPtRes.Value
pts.X = pts.X + 3 'pts.x throws an error
Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?
I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum). But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).
I was wondering if there is a way with DB's to have a line "follow" or "grow" with the content/value length of an attribute. Maybe some method of linking the attribute width to length of the line? Essentially, it would work just like turning on the underline setting when typing in mtext editor (or any program with an underline option for that matter), expect that the line could be placed anywhere, and would not have to reside directly below the text.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWith using superelevation wizard in Civil 3d 2012, changing the lane width is not affecting the resulted values of transion length and run-off length, Is that correct ? ( as civil is using standerd AASHTO tables which assume that lane width typically is 3.6m )
Also, There is only 2 tables for 2-lanes and 4-lanes roadway, Is it for total road width or for one directon only, and what about different no. of lanes ?
I am creating a block with attributes for a standard job. I have (4) total attributes in this block (for example: panel type, qty, length in imperial, length in mertic)

Is this possible?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the past, if I needed to increase a polyline's length I would grap a grip and give it a pull, watching the dynamic input (I think) box for the length that the polyline was changing to. One day, I "noticed" that if I grabbed the grip, extended it past the original location, and then typed in what I wanted to add to the length of the polyline and hit "Enter", it would extend the line that amount. In new drawings that I have started since then, I cannot do this. Now, if I draw a 4" polyline, then grab the right hand grip, extend it a bit past the original point and type in 1, it shortens the line to 1" as opposed to extending it to a new length of 5". What switch I have thrown or may throw to retrieve this capability?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used AutoCad for a few years and I installed 2013 to my laptop recently.I noticed that I couldn't specify how long a line should be. When I select the line tool and specify the base point and type how long it should be i.e. 3' and a red box appears around the dimension box and the line isn't drawn. I tried not specifying a unit of length and it draws the line just fine. But for some reason it wont complete the line if I specify feet or inches.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the base point X and the secondary points from lets say 1 to 20 (total of 21 points)
I draw lines from X to every one of the secondary point (from point X to point 1; from point X to point 2; from point X to point 3; ........from point X to point 20)
If you click proprieties on one of the lines, you will see that it has a Length and an Angle. I need to manually copy the length and the angle of every line, and paste it in a table on Excel/Word.
Problem: I have about 100 points a day of this kind, so manually copying their length & angle is a real pain. Is there any way faster to do this. A specific command in AutoCad (2006).
I have wrapped a polysolid with a width of 2mm around a series of rollers to make a conveyor belt and would like to know the finished length,

View 9 Replies View RelatedCurrently when I pick a grip at the end of a polygon line and type a length, the polygon goes to that length.
Is there a setting anywhere that changes this behavior to add the typed length to the polygon, hence stretching it to this new length. This would be the same as lengthen when drawing with lines.
