View 3 RepliesHow i get all anchors in drawing using VB.NET?
View 3 RepliesToday, the anchors are not showing when using the direct selection tool. I can only scale and rotate using the menu selections. How do I get the anchors back? I can move the object but that is all. I am not aware of what I did to change this.

Instead of forcing users to download and instal external plugins in order to accomplish this, why dont you instead make your insanely expensive software do what it is supposed to? Thats my question. You charge enough for it, and that is an insanely obviouse piece of functionality that should be available.

in short ...
I have made two objects, a vertical elongated ellipse with a circle placed on top that covers a bit of the ellipse and then i made a mask via Ctrl + 7
afterward I want to select the path of the circle and then use the Offset path twice to create two new paths but i want to Delete the first/original path.
however, no matter what i try i cannot seem to Delete the original path. ????
i have searched the manual, FAQ's and even used Google to try and find an answer.
I don't know if i am not asking the right question(s) or what but it seems as though a path cannot be deleted.
after doing ... say ... selecting the path in the layers panel and then clicking the trash can icon at the bottom of the layers palette the Edit menu will indeed say that the path has been deleted ... but ... when i hover over the area ~ the path is STILL there!!??
paths cannot be deleted? i would think if they could be that the manual would have some sort of info.
i find things like ... how to delete part of a path, how to delete anchors ... i mean everything but what i need to know.
On CS6, Windows 7, when I have a transform box around a selected area and place the cursor on an anchor point and hold down the control key down, the anchor can be dragged about without moving any other anchor points... i.e. the box can be changed from a rectangle to whatever.
However, in CS6, the movements snap to something even though I have all snaps turned off. How to stop the unknown snapping?
I'm working on a logo and am having trouble erasing part of the path of a circle.
Here's what I did: I first made an elipse, then cut out a piece of it with scissors so that it looks more like a "C". Then I used the pen tool to draw an upside-down "v" intersecting with the circle. I am trying to erase a little bit of the top of the circle, to make it line up with the vertical line of the "v", but every time I try to use the eraser, it ends up drawing a line that connects the two end anchor points of the shape I just created.
I have the latest updates for Adobe Photoshop CC. Using the advanced blur filters, such as Tilt Shift do not show any adjustment anchors. If I am lucky enough to run my mouse cursor over them, I get a changed mouse cursor to indicate I came move them. but the references lines, anchor points...nothing is visible to show me where to make the changes or boundaries for such adjustments. I had hoped this bug would be fixed, but apparently not. I am unable to find any other references to it on the forums so maybe it is just me.
I can run my old Photoshop CS6 and they show up just fine. to how to fix this?
I am using a script to move anchor points on a path that I have. When I move the anchors, the handles remain in the same location and I am getting very poor results. I was wondering if there was a way to move handles WITH the anchor points. Basically keep them relative to the anchors.
Below is how I am moving the anchor. I know that you can use leftDirection and rightDirection to move the handles, but I would like them to move the same way they would if you moved the anchors when selecting them in Illustrator.
Set currentPoint = targetPathItem.PathPoints(13)
currentPoint.Anchor = Array(-1537.21, 2735.96)
Sometimes, i work with the Warp Mesh, and i need to make something with a smooth curve. I often end up with several lines following the curvy line i want but i would need to have them perfectly equidistant from one another. Is there a way to select s certain number of nodes and have them evenly space while the first and the last one stay as anchors?

Is there a better and more efficient way to reduce anchors points than using the pen-minus tool?
Eventually after I copy and paste with the clipboard enough times within one drawing, the ability goes away and I can no longer copy and past one item from one drawing to a separate drawing. I need to use the clipboard function because that is the only way of getting an item from one drawing to another.
I have download a clear clipboard function but it doesn't work. Closing CAD and restarting does not reinstate the function.
I have created an iLogic panel which allows me to control my revision a lot easier and puts my entered data into the parameters of the sheet itself, is there a way to have this show up on the drawing itself for a template?

I don't want any user input, so I see two problems with the routine at the moment.
Step 2. SAVEAS - I want the drawing to be saved in the same directory as the current drawing, either called "CLIENT_export.dwg" or preferably "Export_{current drawing name}.dwg". If the dwg exists I want it either to overwrite or increment a suffix number.
Step 4. At the moment it askes the user for a selection, I want it to select "ALL"

I don't have any experience with LISP or any other programming. I have just been cobbling this together from bits and pieces I have found on the web.
My Autocad has started a new behavior. When (in Win7) I double-click on a drawing file in Windows Explorer, Autocad opens the drawing file and also starts a new drawing, all in the same session of Autocad. Is there some system variable or Windows variable that controls this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen exiting a drawing by clicking on the small X in the upper right corner of the drawing, my program routinely "stops working". I get the error message that it has stopped working and it closes. No chance to save work in other drawings open at the time. I often have three or four drawings open so my only workaround is to go through each and save, then close the one I want to close, let the system crash and reopen the other drawings. It does not crash every time but several times a day.

It's easy for MODEL tab, but for LAYOUT tabs, I dont know how!?
I prepared a code for INSERTING MODEL tab in current drawing:

I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.
Recently upgraded to Civil 3D 2013 and drawings opened up fine. Now today any drawing that opens shows the plan view as last saved but then after loading takes the drawing and shifts it into a 3d view similar to a crossection. Is there a setting somewhere that has been changed? I noticed after a windows 7 update was preformed.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI realize it may be a Civil3D question. When I change my drawing scale in the "Drawing Settings" dialog box to 1"=40', for example. The Annotative scale in the Properties Palette changes to 1"=40'_XREF.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm taking over the development of some Autodesk addins that are used to parse a drawing to bring back text from the drawing, namely title block and bill of materials information. I have another process that runs and reads the meta data for the drawing itself that gets run from Vault before checking in the drawing. I need to know if I can combine these two processes such that I can parse the drawing outside of AutoCad. Is this possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if there is a way to insert drawing no.1 into drawing no.2 (not copy sheets!) so that if I change the drawing no.1, the drawing no.2 (the one that contains no.1) also updates.
That is because I would like to have one part of the drawing that is ''standard'' and multiple drawings that contain this part (so that this part is defined in all drawings but is always the same). Because I don't want to have a separate drawing for the ''standard'' part, but only drawings that contain it.
is it possible to change a 'flat' drawing into an isometric type of drawing? I currently have an end view of an item that I need to draw in isometric, but it's fairly detailed with curves etc and will take a long time to draw again from scratch in isometric...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two drawings A and B. I work in A and I need some design elements from B.
When I open the drawing B everything I have in drawing A disappeared. I refer to all elements of design (blocks, lines, polylines, etc.).
After studying the issue have concluded that the design of all elements were automatically isolated. Right click> Isolate> End Object Isolation and everything reappears in drawing A.
I mention that I installed Autocad Map 3D 2012 x64 on Windows 7 x64 and work in Map Classic Workspace using the same coordinate system in both drawings.
I downloaded multi-batch as someone here said they like it for batch plotting. Once installed, however, it has changed a setting in AutoCAD. I can no longer open more than one drawing at a time. If I have a drawing open and try to open another drawing it asks me if I want to save the current open drawing.
I can not close a drawing either without exiting AutoCAD or trying to open another drawing. I un-installed multi-batch but it did not fix the problem.
When I open an drawing, AutoCAD opens *two* drawings, the one I wanted *plus* a new one (called drawing 1.)Why does this happen and can it be prevented?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am editing an existing block to change the lineweight and have tried using the REFEDIT command as well as double clicking the block to take me into the block editor and making my changes there. I am sucessfully able to edit my block and make the changes using both of these methods. Where I am running into an issue is that the block I have edited only retains its new settings within the drawing that I changed it in. If I insert that same block into a new drawing I have to re-edit the block again the make the changes that I want. Why are my blocks not retaining their settings from drawing to drawing.
