AutoCAD .NET :: Reversing A Boolean Operation
Sep 25, 2013
I would like to reversing a Boolean operation if an error happens.
I have two solids that when I try to perform a Subtract Boolean Operation gives me an error. When the error happens I lose both solids. I would like to be able to reverse the subtraction in an event of an error so that I still have both solids.
Dim Solid_1 as Solid3d = CreateSoldFromPl(plinePoints1)
Dim Solid_2 as Solid3d = CreateSoldFromPl(plinePoints1)Try
Solid_1.BooleanOperation(BooleanOperationType.BoolSubtract, Solid_2)
End Try

For conducting Boolean operation, I use Trim but I feel troublesome since many selections have to be carried out. So I wonder are there some new way to simplify the process?

I have inventor 2012 and I´m having trouble doing a cut boolean operation to two solids. One is a revolved elipse, so it´s a kind of egg, and the other one is an extruded rectangle.
I want to cut the egg in the rectangular solid, so I can obtain a rectangular solid with an empty egg space inside. I tried to use the "derived" command, so I derived the egg from the rectangular solid, and used the combine command, but with no success. Right now I have two separated solids on the same file (the egg and the extruded rectangle).

I have a relatively flat shape with many curves on the edges. I am trying to intersect a plane with all the curved edges and do a Boolean intersection. It worked with a less complex shape but this one has over 19000 objects. Any size limit on Boolean operations?

I am having both objects disappear after a Boolean Union (I am going to try creating just two random objects - a cube and a sphere - and seeing if the operation works with them).
One thing that I have thought is that the resolution of the mesh might be srewing up the operation (The sizes of the polygons in the two objects is pretty different).
So that might be a factor (when I am in Mudbox, I could try not subdividing the smaller objects as much as the larger one, so that the polygons are the same size).

I have a large assembly in Inventor Pro 2012 where I'm trying to show the installation process in Presentation. Since the sequences behave as opposite to an explosion, all the parts return to their original location after a tweak.
However if I am trying to show a jig that works in the installation process that I want to show being removed, how can I do that. In the assembly, the jig is constrained to the the part being installed, which makes it very difficult to show it being removed since the move happens first then it mates to the part during an animation. Any way to reverse the animation sequence?

I have some difficulty in reversing the text on a leader to the opposite side. As per the picture below, it is on the right side, but I would like to move it to the left. When I drag it, the whole leader goes with it. The text in reference here is the one with ".06 x 45.

I have an assembly that I thought in the beginning of its creation I thought I would be able to add welds to it.
I wasn't successful which is not the issue, but rather since I have NO welds on this, and this assembly shows as a weld model, is there a way to reverse this? I need to add an assembly cut to this model and it is not allowing me due to this.

I drew in a water line that had an arc in it, the "W" symbol in the line (or arc rather) is upside down. i've tried the reverse command, tried re drawing the arc both ways, tried re loading line types, is there any way to fix this?

Sometimes this happens to me in using selection tools, especially the Lasso tools where I want to subtract from or add toan existing selection, but I hit the wrong key and end up adding to it instead.
Then, you undo, make your selection again and hopefully you've rememberd to hit the correct modifyer key..
Is there a way to, after making your selection, to tell photoshop to do the opposite of what you've just told it to? In other words, if you added when you meant to subtract, have PS do the opposite function, but using the same selection you made, so that you don't have to do that part again?

Does the IV2012 API allow the creation of a Yes/No parameter. I have created "Text" parameters but I am stumped on this one.

Looking for sample VBA code to get all referenced documents from an assembly and add a boolean user parameter to each (parts and sub assemblies). I have been trying to modify peices of code I have found on this forum and Mod the Machine, but have had no luck so far.
There may also be standard content center parts in the assembly as well that I would like to somehow identify so I can skip over them.

I've done a few filters on some drawn images, and I cannot remember what I have done to those images so that I can do it to others. the file was already saved so i cannot revert to a previously saved session, and the history only shows up to the last save.
can anyone help me find out what i have done to this drawn images(it is just writting the was done using a paintbrush, just can't remember what filters I did after).

I have been working with autocad for approximately five months. I feel as though I have a pretty good grasp of the program's capabilities and commands, but I'm stumped. I've successfully imported a 3dm file to autocad 2012 and all of the geometry is present in autocad (it is not a 2d wireframe), but I am unable to perform boolean operations on it.
The model has also taken on a strange pale blue hugh, though the wirefram is lavender (unless I explode it and then unionize it several times over. Unfortunately this results in an issue with surface faces intersecting with one another, as well as a loss of geometry). The model cannot be converted to a surface nor a solid which means that it is not water-tight. This is not a model that I have created. I've been tasked by my employer to make several changes to it. Why (without exploding it) I cannot perform boolean operations.

I'm modeling a fireplace in AutoCAD 2012 that has 2 solids that won't slice or work with boolean operations.
I'm trying to subtract the joints out of the header and legs of the fireplace to create seperate pieces but it won't do it. Slicing the solid at the joints doesn't work either.
The 3d model is too big to upload.

When I import new photos in the catalog, it reverses the chronological order in which they were taken - i.e., for photos taken on the same day, it would show the latest first.I don't think I changed any settings regarding the importing of photos in the catalog.

I need to activate a timeline event on a symbol with a button press on another object, then when the button is pressed again, reverse the timeline event. This will have something sliding in and out of the stage.
If the animation is placed right at 0.00 and there's nothing else, then this code works OK:
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
{
sym.play();
}
else
{
sym.playReverse();
}
However there is other animation that plays automatically on page load, then a trigger stops all animation. The animation I need to trigger is a couple of seconds later bracketed by labels 'start' and 'stop'. So I need to code the button A to get the symbol B and animate from 'start' to 'stop' and then wait. Then on a further press to animate from 'stop' to 'start'. But I'm damned if I can get anything to work.

I have a body object from Inventor. I need to create a rendering showing the inside of the unit. I created a spline, and extruded it as my "cutting object". When I try Boolean or ProBoolean, it doesn't look right.
ProBoolean makes it disappear and Boolean creates gaps in the geometry.
I would attempt to re-model this in MAX but it is far beyond my abilities right now.

I am trying to use the Boolean modifier more than one time on a box and it doesn't seem to work. I pick the Operand B to subtract on the second object I want to Boolean out, it disappears, but there is no hole there.

I created a cone where I wanted to cut some cylindrical hole in it so I created the cylinders and did a boolean subtraction of the cylinders from the cone.
I got the holes cut out, but the resulting object appears as though it's hollow. Is this something do do with my display or is there a setting I'm missing to create objects as hollow/solid?

I'm attaching part of my mesh with another using the Boolean Tool. When I do this part of the mesh I'm using disappears when it shouldn't. How do I fix this?
Before Boolean (showing the two parts)
After Boolean (look at the railcars far left side its gone)

I found what I think is a bug in Photoshop CS6. The Pen tool keeps reverting back to the "Exclude" boolean mode every time you select the Pen tool. In previous versions of Photoshop, the boolean mode stayed at whatever mode it was set at when no paths were selected.

I used an example to represent a more complex animation that I am working on. Basically I have a block moving in vertex space because it is morphing.A proboolean cut has been applied to the block with a diamond shaped object, so that as the block morphs through space, it is being cut by the boolean operand (diamond shape object).
However, I want to achieve an outcome that when the object moves through the boolean cutting operand, whatever geometry that has been cut, stays cut and removed. So in a way, the boolean cut operand object acts as a "geometry eraser". Obvioulsy I would like to be able to control this behaviour too (soft selection, animating boolean cutting operand).
Is this achievable? Or do I have to look at another set of tools/modifiers?

I want to Boolean text onto a PolyPipe I made. Let me include a pic for reference.
Like I said, i built the "ring" with a Polygon Pipe turned 90 degrees. Then I created 3D text. but I do not know how to "bend" the text so that I can move it over part of the ring and Boolean it through.
I'm trying to update an old drawing that has been a part of my military organization for decades that was originally drawn on some old paper.

Have a model of a camera that was made out of polys, whats the best way to boolean / engrave text onto the model? i tried tons of things, deleting history before boolean diff, combining the objects then extracting. Result is that it either doesnt work or deletes both my text and my object. I always try to boolean things in my model because i lack experience with creating and applying displacement maps.
How to achieve this using boolean diff or can they suggest what to use as reference to learn how to create displacement maps.

How to get lines that export with transparent "fill" without booleaning them together? When I do this the lines change so I'd like to find a way to just keep the information on top and ignore what's behind entirely (including the fill) so that I only have lines and no fills. Its for printing on fabric and such.
