I have a circle which is rotated 45 degree around the X-axis. If you look at it from the top (normal=0,0,1) it will look like an ellipse.
I want to draw a new entity (ELLIPSE) that will have the same shape/look as the circle viewed from the top, but the whole entity must have z=0.
Basically, exactly what the command FLATTEN does.
Is there a way to do this easily? Or is the only way to figure out the math behind it?
Is it possible to change the default size of the block circle of the multileader and also the text size and style? If so how do I do it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to project some of the points and figures to the profile view and I'm not making any progress. I found the ProfileProjection class in the object browser, but I'm not sure how to handle the first argument (ByVal unmanagedPointer AsSystem.IntPtr,) or even if I'm on the right path. I'm guessing that it should work similar to other Create() methods by referencing an ID, then later calling a projObject.Draw() or something similar.
Below is a snippet of the survey point section. I'm iterating through each survey point in the xml data. I hope to create the projObj for each CL shot as a starting place. I think the figures would be similar if I can get a point to work.

Is there a way to project to seperate feature lines with 2 different label styles. Am able to project object to view but both have same label. Need one to have Ex. R/W and the other NEW R/W, would like to do as one change rather than change each for every view.

What are the parameters for a parametric 3D Equation Curve to create a path for a coil similar to that in the attached image?
Or alternatively tell me how I can produce the coil in some other way!
I have been using feature lines along buried utility locations to project these objects to section views. It works great. I created label styles, and It pops a vertical label on the section view that points toward the existing ground. I tried to use the same feature lines to project objects to profile views, and get very strange results. I do not get an option to select a label style, that field is blank, and on the profile view there is not a point where the alignment and the feature line crossed, but a line drawn all over the general area of the utility location. I have attached pdf examples of a sucessful section view and an unsuccessful profile view. I manually added the "EXISTING WATER" label so that it's easy to locate the line representing the water line.

I am doing a overlay design for a runway.
I have alignments and profiles for the centerline and 12.5m either side. I would like to create a surface from a corridor by using the three profiles but extending the slope beyond the 12.5m either side.
I can easially create a surface between the three profiles and alignments, however I would like to extend the surface outward a further 10m in both directions at the same transverse slope. note that the transverse slope is variable across the entire runway.
I tried this using the "LinkOffsetAndSlope" generic link by making each subassembly 22.5m long and linking only to the profiles 12.5m from the centreline. However it seems it simply applies the levels from the 12.5m offest profiles at the full distance of 22.5m.
In an assembly document, if you want to project a sketch from one part into another, you go through these steps:
- select the part
- edit the part
- create a 2D sketch
- select the plane
- select project geometry
- select the sketch in the other part
- finish sketch
This creates a reference to the original sketch, so if I move the original sketch the new sketch will also move when I hit Assemble.
I am trying to do the same through the API, so I create a proxy for the original sketch and a proxy for the new sketch. I then use the AddByProjectingEntity method on the new sketch proxy passing the original sketch proxy.
This works for projecting the sketch, but it doesn't create the reference, so if I move the original sketch the new one doesn't move, even if I hit Assemble. How to create this link between the two sketches?
I'm trying to project an edge of a cylinder in a "detail" view. Here's the process I'm taking. Click the view and pick "create sketch", then I pick "Project Geometry". Then I pick the edges of the cylinder I'd like to project and it only projects one side. I can select the edge, but when I right-click and pick done it won't project it. It appears to me that it's only allowing one edge of the same object to be projected. I've tested other objects and it seems to only do this with cylinders.
Is this a setting or a bug in 2012?
I need a path on a sphere like on the image I attached (sphere_spiral) for the result similar to image called "gomb". The only problem, metric spiral or coil / 3d helical curve path won't work because it doesn't end the result I need, because the lines are converging each other. So, I figured out I need a logarithmic spiral 2D sketch or maybe a sinusoidal path.
I need a path from the sphere's top center point to the bottom center point, projected to its surface with equal distance of lines.
I have projected Civil 3D COGO Points projected to a profile. I simply want to display the Civil 3D Point Number for each point in the profile.
In the Profile Projection Label Style, the only field in the text editor that displays this point number is the "Source Object Name. This shows up as "CogoPoint 124" for point 124 (see attached). How do I make this simply say the point number ONLY, i.e. "124"?
It would be nice to program the label style to display this field, yet delete the first 10 characters of "CogoPoint x", so it only says the point number, "x"
I have limited experience with AutoCAD, I am an ESRI GIS user. So here goes:
We are trying to use map image insert to insert a NAIP photo. The NAIP photo is in UTM meters. The existing AutoCAD Civil dwg is in state plane illinois wf. Everything I have read says all you have to do is go to map image insert, pick the tiff, my correlation source is a world file (.tfw), and BAM, your raster image should show up where it is supposed to. Well, it doesn't work. It appears that AutoCAD is not reprojecting the image to state plane feet. How can I get it to do this?
If we connect to the image, it reprojects it just fine. However, on every pan and zoom it is redrawing. We can't wait for the program to redraw all the time, it's too slow. So if we can figure out how to import it, it's a much faster option.
Another problem: the NAIP has 4 bands and the 4th band is an Alpha Band 1. This makes the image appear faded and white. In ArcMap you can simply uncheck the 4th band so the image looks normal again. Is there a way to do that in AutoCAD Map?
My company had always used LDD until we were mandated to switch, our first project in Civil 3D is in the works. So far we have gotten through the beginning stages (alignments, profile, corridor, assemblies) but we are having a major issue with where to go from there. Right now I am trying to complete the design line work on the plan (wheelchair ramps, driveways transitions and signage) As of now I cannot get anything to line up easily with the corridor. I have been able to snap to the corridor so I can create a line at that exact spot to be correct, but then when I offset it will not change the elevation, I tried doing feature line and projecting the feature lines to the surface and some of it works but it becomes very buggy. My transition lines don't transition and some other lines I would expect to be at the same elevation have major grade changes. How to create the luinework at the correct elevation and with correct transisions along your corridor and surface?

I am a recent convert to Adobe NLE systems coming from FCP 7. My question is: What is the highest quality codec that I can use successfully with AME and Premiere Pro CC?
I’m working on a project that is targeted to screen in theaters (festivals) so I want to finish with the best possible quality. My source was film telecined to Apple FCP Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, 1920 x 1080, Millions, Data rate 1060.67 mbits/sec. However, that format is too unwieldy for editing. When using FCP for previous films, I transcoded those uncompressed files to ProRes 422 (HQ) for editing and for theater screenings.
I see that i can use ProRes with Premiere, with a little work. if he/she recommends a better non-quicktime format for editing and projecting?
I am an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber and am using AME CC (version 7.2.0.43) and Premiere Pro CC (ver 7.2.1). I have installed all suggested updates. I’m running OSX 10.9.1 on my 2011 imac (core i7 with 32 GB of RAM). My graphics card is a AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where the default behavior of my rectangle tool (or any of the other shape tools) is now different. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.5 running Illustrator CS5. It acts as though the option-shift keys are pressed, so whenever I draw an object, it draws from the center point and the dimensions are constrained, so i can only draw a square or circle, not a rectangle or ellipse. Additionally, whenever I use the selection tool, it clones the object I drag, and also constrains the positioning, so i can only drag in a 0, 45 or 90 degree angle (or multiples thereof). It's as if my option-shift keys are permanently pressed (if I actually press option-shift, the behavior persists). I tried using a different (brand new) keyboard, tried throwing away preferences, and the problem remains. I also tried booting up Illustrator CS4, and the weird problem showed up there! This behavior just started happening spontaneously. I couldn't think of anything weird that happened (a crash, a new plug-in, etc.). I can't find a preference that sets this behavior either.
