AutoCAD .NET :: Rotating 3DPolyline To Check Z-value Of Vertices In Top-view Mode

Apr 7, 2013

I am trying to rotate a 3dPolyline, so that I can check(view) the Z-value of vertices in the top-view mode.

The following is the example which I am trying to achieve.

The white 3dPolyline has vertices at each intersecting point with the contour lines. Each vertax has Z-value.

I want to rotate this white 3dPolyline in 3D, so that I can make the red 2dPolyline. (Z-value becomes Y-value)

And the start point of the white 3dPolyline becomes the left most point of the red line.

The end point of the white 3dPolyline becomes the right most point of the red line.

Currently, I am doing this by making a new 2dPolyline, manually inserting Z-values as Y-values.

But it looks like my code can be neater if I use TrnasformBy(Matrix3d.Projection).

I am not good with Geometry, so how to use this Matrix3d.Projection.

Need a quick code snippet to make this function? (preferably in C#)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rotating View Of A Drawing

Oct 10, 2012

My company has just upgraded from stone age AutoCAD to Civil3d 2013 and I've been tasked with figuring out the program.

What I am trying to do is realign my drawing so a line I drew is horizontal to the page. For example, I have a line at a 45 degree angle and I want to rotate my viewport so that line is now at a 0 degree angle. Is there a simple way to do this?

A follow up: I have my point labels set to be a 45 degree angle, will they be at a 45 degree angle when I realign the drawing or will they "rotate" along with the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Non-rotating View

Apr 20, 2012

I have a solid body .ipt that I have created an assembly from. Some of the parts in the solid body can rotate which in turn rotates them in the assembly which is great. The problem is I need to create a drawing of the parts of the assembly. If I create a base view of a part that rotates the view rotates also, but I do not want that. Is there a way to create a view that always "looks" at a surface of a part no matter what position it is in?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use API To Check Whether Component Is Invisible (hidden) In Drawing View?

May 23, 2013

I am working on a project to assign balloons to components in drawing view automatically. Of course, I don't want to assign a balloon to a component which is invisible (hidden) in this drawing view.

So, is there any API function to check whether the component in the drawing view is invisible or hidden?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Paper Space View (not Just Viewports)

Jul 31, 2013

I have wall section sheets that are best viewed in portrait mode, but use the same landscape page setup as the other sheets in the set.  So the viewports for the sections are rotated 90 degrees and difficult to read on the screen.  Is it possible to rotate the paper space UCS and rotate the paper space "view" to match the UCS, like you can in model space? 

I don't want to rotate the viewports and title blocks themselves & set up a portrait page setup.  This is because I'm using Acrobat's PDF maker for batch plotting and not using the same page setup for each sheet makes one click, fire-and-forget publishing impossible.  And I don't want to use DWG-to-PDF because it doesn't have any configurable image compression settings that I know of.

If it's not possible, then it's not the end of the world.  We have AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD LT 2012 & 2013.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Survey Text And Points To Front View

Oct 30, 2013

I have been capturing data for measured building surveys with a Leica total station (TS06). When I upload the data into autocad i can see the node points (+) and text in the top view. When switch to look at the points from the front view (to produce an elevation), the text and points appear as a flat line, although the insertion point of the node/text is still correct. I need to find a way of rotating the text and points so they are visible in this view. I will then flatten the points and cut them to the top view to produce a 2d elevation.

we had a toolbar with a button to perform this function. However, now i don't have the toolbar,

3ds Max :: Unable To Edit Vertices In Edit Poly Mode

Apr 2, 2012

I was trying to play around with the software to get to know it, and... well, I think I made something weird in it. Everything was flowing nicely when I was following the tutorial about Editing Objects: I created a box, I selected that edit poly option from the modify tab and I could edit vertices totally nicely.

But then, I really don't know what happened, but, I don't know exactly when, I suddenly could not move the vertices AT ALL. They are pretty visible, but when I select them, they turn red and the axis are not editable! I'm so confused! I can edit the axis very normally if I'm using an option like Select and Move but... With the edit poly thing I just cannot! I tried everything I thought of: Made a new box, restarted the program, restarted the PC! But NOTHING worked.

EDIT: It took me almost an hour to figure out I wasn’t selecting the Select and Move tool!

I have seen the posts that say to rotate the view then add text... What if you didn't plan that far ahead - are you just stuck?
 
Is there any new developments on this?
 
I have a client who needs to be able to this without having to rotate all the text in the project.

GIMP :: Ability To Rotate View Without Rotating Image Itself

Aug 25, 2013

I've noticed that in Paint Tool SAI (which I really wish I could buy but I have no money) has two things I wish GIMP could do.

1: SAI has an ability to rotate the view without rotating the image itself.(rotating a graphics tablet to comfortably get the pen stroke right.) Is there any way this could be implemented into a new update of GIMP?

2: SAI has really good pressure sensitivity and natural *smooth* pressure strokes. I've kinda noticed GIMP is geared more towards Mouse/Touch pad art creation; is there any way to get pressure sensitivity into the program?

I'm afraid to use GIMP anymore because the whole program takes about 20 minutes to load, from clicking the application icon on my desktop. Once it's up though, it functions well. Even after I close it out, and end up clicking the application icon again, it takes another 20 minutes to load up.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweeping Along A Complex 3DPolyline

Apr 16, 2013

I am modeling an ASME pressure vessel with a 2:1 semi elliptical head upon which there must be a couple of lines of .375" trace tubing.  I created a 3dpolyine that is the center line of this tubing, and joined  all the segments into one so as to be able to sweep the whole thing and make one solid of the tubing run, but it simply will not sweep.  I get a message this it is "unable to sweep the selected object."  If I break the 3dpolyline, I can sweep parts of it, but the more complex the line segment, I again get the error message.  I have attached a copy of the tubing centerlines.

The one on the left is the joined 3dpolyline, the one on the right is the 3dpolylines unjoined.  (These were achieved using an intersection command of a rotated surface--the head profile--and an extruded surface--the tube tracing plan layout.)  I have done this before, but only with the unjoined 3dpolyline, as in the right-hand example, but that is very time consuming as each segment must be swept.  But I recently acquired a third-party LISP routine that joins the 3dpolylines into one.  I'm thinking there must be a limitation on data of the 3dpolyline preventing the sweep, and wondering if there is a setting or system variable that will allow the more complex 3dpolyline to be swept.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: River Bottom Surface From 3DPolyline Sections

Sep 4, 2012

Is there an easy way to create a tin surface from 3d polylines that are generated by actual measurements of a river/ditch or imported from Hec-Ras (River Analysis -extension)?

The problem seems to be that the triangles should be long and narrow (like the ditch bottom in the example) instead of normal triangles the triangulation method normally generates. (The triangles in the example are generated by 3dwin -program).

When using Hec-Ras one way to go around this problem is to interpolate sections (XS:s) with very short distance. Hec-Ras does the interpolation very well, but I would like to have a better solution without tricks with other programs. Also in the long rivers the result is a very large file.

AutoCad 2D :: Reduce Number Of Vertex Points In Polyline Or 3DPolyline?

Oct 9, 2013

Any way to reduce the number of vertex points in a polyline or 3d polyline and retain the basic shape but without having to redraw over the top it?

Ideally, I would like any adjacent segments which are in the same direction as each other to become one segment.

In my image you can see the number of points it has, the majority of which are not necessary for my needs (it was imported from a client's drawing). My desired linetype will also not show because of this.

AutoCad 3D :: Changing Field Of View While In Perspective Mode

Dec 14, 2011

How does one change the field of view while in perspective mode? I am not referring to a camera's field of view, but the field of view which is displayed on your screen while panning and "walking" around a model. Similar to how sketchup lets you change from 1 to 120 degrees at any given time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: View Tab Returning To End Section Mode

Jul 18, 2012

I use the "view" tab to create a half section view of an assembly.  This works fine, but if I try to measure anything, move or select a component, or export image to a .jpg then it automatically returns back to "end section view" mode.  

Without the ability to operate in a section view the it is impossible to constrain components that are placed deep inside of other components. This make this view function useless except for just looking at it on the screen.  This worked in 2012 and will not in 2013.  How do I correct this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Ditch Subassembly In Corridor - Using Realistic Mode To View

Oct 18, 2013

I'm using the Ditch subassembly in my corridor and am running into a problem when using realistic mode to view.

I've applied a render material to L3, L2 and L4 which is fine but when I assign a material to L1-L5 (i.e Top) it overdraws (or otherwise fails to display) the previously assigned materials for L2, L3 and L4.

If I set the Links L1-L5 (i.e. Top) to no display then L2, L3 and L4 display as expected but when IMX'd to Infraworks the existing terrain shows through at Links L1 and L5.

Is it possible to stop this from happening and have a seperate material for L1 and L5 whilst retaining L2,L3 & L5 materials?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Option In Drawing Mode To Exclude Parts From Section View

Feb 1, 2012

Is there an option in drawing mode to exclude certain parts from a section view.

According to ASME Y14.3 parts such as shafts, keys bolts and nuts should be excluded in sectional view. Its not just removing the Hatching, the part has to show completely.

The closest I found in Inventor is that you can exclude Standard parts from being sectioned. Some of my parts are not in the standard library.

I would like to have the option to choose which parts I want to section and which ones I don't.
