I have to add 80 Xdata to some objects. How to populate them within a loop. This what I did for 11 of them . But
I am pretty sure there is a way to do it in a loop which I don't know .

say you make some parcels in your project with custom data fields like: id_no, permit_no, acres_served etc. you attach an agency provided shape file via an fdo connection that has many fields of information like above.
when you right click on your parcel and do parcel properties you get a tab that lets you input the custom parcel data.
lets say you print an fdo map label showing, say, the id_no, provided in the shape file. Then in your custom parcel properties for id_no you type that in.
is there a way to make an expression to put in the other custom parcel properties that will read, say, the permit_no(id_no) from the fdo like and put that information in the custom parcel property field?
I have some files (OK, 11,000 of them) and they have drawings on the bottom and text on the top. I want to erase this text and replace it with data that comes from a database. I don't know where to start.
I need to:
1. preferably find a way to erase the old data on the top, but I could do it manually
2. Insert data from specific fields into specific spots on the drawings.
3. Each drawing would have the same fields but different data corresponding to an account number. The account number is included in the name of the drawing and is a field in the database.
How to get started? I have Map3D as well, which I was told would work better than regular AutoCAD on this, but I also have regular AutoCAD. I can't even figure out how to make the database connection work.
Any way to create a parcel from an object (closed polyline) and populate the parcel with Object Data from the polyline?
I have imported a .shp file into a drawing and the result is many closed polylines with properties similar to the attached image. I would like to bring this data into a parcel object for labeling purposes.
Is there a way to cross populate data from the i properties fields using iLogic or another method?
I would like to have fields from the Project tab to cross populate with items I have created in the custom field.

I am having problems regarding Data Table Types.
I utilize Excel to build BOM's. I import them through data connection, I than will tell it which cells are Headers / Data / Titles. At which point text sizes / styles ... are applied.
Problem,
I have a cell that is enlarged with small text in the middle. I can orientate the boxes to increase in the Vertical or Horizontal directions larger than the original Excel Data File but i cannot get them to shrink?
I want .05" on the left / right of the widest data, and .02" on the top and bottom. If i change Vertical to .02 it puts the text at the top of the cell.. but if i put it at 1, it enlarges the cell and places it in the middle.
Horizontal i want .02 from the left, but if i align left it goes all the way to the left line.
Can a table format re-define an external excel spreadsheets cell lengths? Obviously taking into account if Wrap text is Enabled it takes the width and defines only the height?
(Again) Switching the “data type” of the cell,I’m not sure why the AutoCAD doesn't allow changing the “data type” of the cell in the table for already existing data. For example, in the attached table, I wanted to switch the “data type” from “decimal number” to “percentages”, but sounds that the AutoCAD doesn’t allow this function.
In the Excel, for example, we can switch the “data type” easily by selecting the target cells and choosing the format we need! Quite simple, in the AutoCAD, it seems that it needs some work around!
I've created a table (a door schedule for example).The data cell type properties is "general". The door # is "001". When I type this in, it switches to just "1" and the type is swiched to "whole number." Same for another cell with a number in it, it switches the cell type on me and I don't want what it switches to. Every time I try to switch it back it doesn't do anything.
How do I stop it from automatically switching, or at very least let me override?
What is the data type for the second parameter of retrieve dimension method? Coz it's optional parameter.Retrieve(ViewOrSketch as Object, [DimensionToRetrieve]) as GeneralDimensionEnurator

Today's Question is as mentioned above, How to remove the loops from a surface?
I have a surface created from the points. Eventually it has got many ups & downs in the elevations, so I did delete some of the points from the surface. And due to this, some loops are developed inside the surface itself with the closed boundaries.
I also tried to draw surface lines in those loops, either they get shorten or gets enlarged but does not completely vanishes...

I'm working on an edit, which is in video mode. Now I have to include OpenEXR material, which is in linear mode. How can I combine the two and still have the correct color?
I can set it in view mode to linear, but then all my video shows as linear too, plus, as soon as I leave the view mode, it all goes back to video, and my EXR's are too dark then..... what can I do?

I am trying to import a complex curve from autocad lt (in my case an airfoil), to create parts. I have drawn the curve in autocad lt as a polyline. Autocad lt treats the curve as a single object, and seems to understand it as a closed loop.
When I import the curve into Inventor lt, Inventor treats the curve as a series of unconnected line segments. What can I do in either Autocad lt or Inventor lt to get Inventor to treat the curve as a single object, so that I can then extrude it?
I am making some fairly free form sketches using lots of 3-point arcs that ultimately need to be closed loops so that I can extrude them. Although I have always been letting one arc snap to another at the end of the process I seem to have trouble closing the loop. It does not seem very apparent how to find the points that are not properly closed and I wind up struggling with the Close Loop function. Is there an easy way to tell where the problems are in a profile? I have tried showing all constraints, but that doesn't necessarily give me the clues I need.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn regards to sweeping, what does the title of the post mean (self intersecting paths or loops are invalid for this operation). I have a 3D sketch consisting of 1 straight line, one spline with 4 points dictated by 'points' and an arc. All have tangential constrains to each other and I am looking to sweep a circle along this path to create a bent wire. I don't have anypictures or files as it is a stand alone computer at the moment.

View 1 Replies View Relatedis there a way to use vb to add closed sketch loops to an existing feature?
I am trying to create a parametric template for a fan guard assembly, complete with drawings.
I am using an arrangement of circles defined using some linear sketch patterns as the cross-section of a revolved feature. Using ilogic/vb, I want to automate the number and spacing of items in the linear pattern, and then update the loops selected for the revolved feature.
I have found code on this forum (courtesy of Curtis Waguespack) that I can use to select all closed loops and create a feature. I can apply this code to create a NEW revolved feature, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it to UPDATE an existing feature.
I need the feature to UPDATE rather than create new to maintain links in my assemblies and drawings.
It happens often that a sketch has redundand points or open loops.
I don't want to run the sketch doctor to clean it up every sketch I create.
In the attached avi you can see the few steps that I use to create a sketch. I don't understand why at the end it has problems.
Why does this code fragment not work? (Within an active part sketch, with some sketched geometry.)
I'm just trying to close the loops to have valid extrusion profiles.

I'm having a huge issue in trying to prevent t-loops in my model. Every time I try the Cut and Loop technique to make more edges in the hopes of getting rid of the t-loops, the new loops keep "spiraling" if you know what I mean (in the attached image, the selected edges are the same line). As a result, more and more unwanted t-loops keep appearing and they have nowhere to connect and it prevents the model from working in Mudbox.

What i want to do is popluate a Listbox with with the area of previously selected Objects.This is what i have at the moment:
i = 0ListBox1.ColumnCount = 2For Each ssetOBJ In sset objarea = ssetOBJ.Area i = i + 1 With ListBox1 .AddItem .List(.ListCount - i, 0) = "Fläche" .List(.ListCount - i, 1) = objarea End With Next.
But the code only writes the area of the last Object in the first Row of the Listbox.I think in the FOR EACH Expression the variable "i" pass always "1" for the Row Number.
Is there a way to populate a ListBox with all of my Action Recorders?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD 2014. When we upgraded from 2013 I migrated all of my tool palettes and settings over to 2014 earlier this year. All seemed normal up until Friday when I created a new palette. That part was normal, but when I tried to drag a block from Design Center to that tool palette it wouldn't populate. It seemed like it was going to, it gave me that typical >---< under where the block would show up in the tool palette, but when I tried to release it in the palette, nothing.
Additionally, if I right click on a directory/folder in design center and select "Create Palette of Blocks" (which I have done a million times before), it will create the tab of the directory/folder I have created but does not populated it with the blocks within that directory/folder. Leaving me with a blank Tool Palette.
How to populate an Inventor Multivalue PARAMETER using a For cycle in iLogic according to a variable index corresponding to a different number of array items?
for example:
i grab some data from a Rule and populate an Arraylist variable. I trace the number of instances using a counter. after the data acquisition I want to populate the Multivalue Parameter with the acquired values.
No problem browsing the Arraylist parameter: MyArraylist.(Index)... but what about the Multivalue parameter?
the MultiValue.SetList("Multivalue Parameter", Value 1, Value 2, ... , Value N) provide a defined number of data and cannot be set dynamically according to an Index.
I've been given a floor plan of a building which I need to populate with smoke detectors. The smoke detectors are larger than the entire building. I've used the same smoke detectors on other floor plans and they've always been scaled properly.
Also, I notice the floorplan is 1:250@A3

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a command to find loops and crossed lines in curves/lines.
I've been playing with Powertrace and noticed that quite often the lines/curves will have loops in them, particularly at sharp bends.
I have to zoom right in to see these but this is a very painstaking and slow method of finding these. I use Draw primarily to get cut paths so there can't be any crossing lines. Visually the drawing can look good but cam software finds these loops as tiny as a few thousands of an inch.

Changing the format of the excel data (number or text) has no effect. Is manipulation of the format required so that Inventor can read text and numbers to iProperties in this way?
