Is there a quick way to rotate an object to match an angle without knowing what the angle is? I am using AutoCAD 2011 now. I was using 2007 and I had an add on command the would rotate an object using a base point and picking the two lines that make up the angle, and it would match the angle you wanted. I can not get that command to load in 2011.
I have a property line that is N 36d19'52" E but needs to be N 12d52'18" E. The obvious and calculated rotation angle would be 23d27'34" but when I rotate the line by the calculated angle it doesn't rotate to the right angle. It's off by 0d11'10"!? When I draw a line by bearing at N12d52'18" E and inquiry the angle between the property line and the drawn line the angle difference is in fact 23d27'34".
Let's say I am inserting a square block into a dwg and want to get it parallel to an existing angled line. Do I have to read the angle of the line and insert the block to that angle or is there a quicker way?
how to convert "real world" angles of elliptical arcs into those shown in a dxf file?
Say that I have drawn an elliptical arc with its start angle on 210 degrees and an end angle of 324 degrees. The values in a DXF file, for an elliptical arc, have something to do with the contant "PI" (3.14159). I know that a full circle is 2*Pi but how to do this with elliptical arcs!!
Is there a method to obtain the overall Site boundary? I have not found one, if there is, but it would sure come in handy when creating reports. We must always include the project Boundary as the first item in a report, so being able to add it to the existing reports would be a huge timesaver.
Is there any way to obtain the X and Y location of an iFeature that is placed on a center point? I cannot find a way to relate the iFeature to the point or vice versa with VBA. Holes are easy to relate but I am stuck on relating iFeatures.
My goal is to obtain the X and Y location of several iFeatures placed a piece of steel channel.

I create a polyline ,and then add it's objectId to a ObjectIdCollection defined by me.After the polyline is created,I would like to obtain it's second and sixth vertexes via this polyline's objectId.
I have a 3d object and I am making my title block. I remember a few semesters ago being taught how to get your front, top, right and iso view from inserting the 3d object into the layout. I can't remember for the life of me how. The layout already has the object in it but it's only the main view.
I'm trying to obtain a louvre iFeature for Inventor 2010. the ifeature on the c-bliss website no longer seems to be available... it redirects to zeevix.com or something.
I need to define a mate constraint with a workplane as EntityOne and a midpoint from an Edge as EntityTwo.
API-Help tells me valid objects are planar faces, linear edges, vertices, cylindrical faces, conical faces, spherical faces, revolved faces, work planes, work axes, and work points.
The Edge object gives me StartVertex and StopVertex, but what about the midpoint?
I 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).
We want to obtain the center of mass of two or more subassemblies within an assembly. How to do it? The subassemblies may or may not be connected to each other directly.
We have an engineer who uses AutoCAD LT 2014. He needs to use an electrical symbols library in AutoCAD so he can properly create the prints & drawings for machines, schematic edits, etc.
Looking for such a library/add-on for AutoCAD has been unsuccessfully. How to obtain electrical symbols for AutoCAD LT 2014?
I am using ACAD 12 and am trying to obtain a TIFF image of my drawing, but the linewidths do not seem to be registering. I know this because if I change the output device to PDF or to our printer, they show up (and show up in the preview), but when TIFF is selected, all linewidths seem to revert to 0.0000. Any thoughts? I am plotting in B/W exclusively.
I just got X4 Pro...They FINALLY fixed the DVD/Blu-ray authoring party that was significantly gone from X3.I created my first Blu-ray disc with the new BD-J template and think it looks great. How can I obtain more templates, OR how can I create my own?
I am trying to obtain a GIF image. I have JPEG image and on top of it I added a layer that is a flame made out with Fire Animator plugin. Saving as a gif will left me with a JPEG file only and no animated GIF.
Someone emailed me a .jpg image to use in a custom piece, but she does not know the color values and does not have another file type of the image. It seems like this would come up often, but this is the first time I have run into it.
For the UI plug-in, I want to specify the same font as the display font of Illustrator.Is it possible to obtain the font type used in Illustrator using the SDK
