AutoCAD VB :: Increase Number Of Attributes To Be Prompted While Inserting Blocks?

Jul 7, 2011

I have Created a Block which has got some 12 attributes , when i invoke insert command and insert the Block , It was displaying only first 8 attributes , then when i click next the remaining four attributes were displayed under the previous inputs which i have given .

that is for eg : If i have attributes named a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l .

In the first dialog box it asks

a =

b =

c =

d =

e =

f =

g =

h =

then i click next

e =

f =

g =

h =

i =

j =

k =

l =

so inputs for e,f,g,h and all given already but it was displayed

again so i need to press tab key for 4 times and come to  input "i = " and so on

I don want this to happen. i want it either all 12 prompted in single dialog box or

atleast no repetition of prompts.(8first&4alone in next)

And i already knew about the System Variable attdia & i dont want to give input via command prompt

AutoCad :: 2012 Inserting Blocks With Attributes Enquiry

Aug 7, 2013

I believe in our previous AutoCAD 2009 software we could create a block with attributes and save the drawing as a block, either wblock or create block. When inserting this block into another drawing we would get the attribute dialog box appear and complete the required information. Within AutoCAD 2012 we have made a block with attributes, when we insert this drawing into another drawing the block is inserted but no attribute dialog box. If I click on the block I see edit block definition dialog box with the drawing file name of the block and the block name. If I explode the block I then have my block and when clicking the block the attribute dialog box appears. It seems that in AutoCAD 2012 when we create the block and save the drawing and then insert the drawing it becomes a nested block type. Is there a setting I need to switch to prevent this and have the block insert and then click on it to change the attributes as required?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserting Balloon That Has Field For Prompted Text

Nov 6, 2013

I would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area.  Is this possible?

If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code.  If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?

--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence.  Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Centre Prompted Filename And Part Number

Nov 8, 2011

Create a Content Center Part that prompts for a file name and sets the Part Number to whatever I save the part as? It would also be nice to... Have the browser Display name the same as the saved filename.

If I have a standard part with a blank filename, inventor will make the part number equal the filename at the first save. It is this functionality that I require when using Custom Content parts.

E.G. If I have a length of 'RHS 200x100x6.3 - 2000mm' selected from content centre and I want the filename to be saved as 'Part-001', then I would like the Part Number to be set as 'Part-001'.

If I then place the same member in another project/assembly I may want to call it 'ProjectPart-100', where the part number would then be 'ProjectPart-100' and so on.

This method ignores the filename entry in the Ipart table.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Get Separate Block To Load If Third Number Entered When Prompted

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: User Is Prompted To Select A Row Of Blocks?

Oct 25, 2011

I am looking for a way where a user is prompted to select a row of blocks and then that row is completely mirrored about the middle of the selection set - such that if the blocks are originally inserted, from left to right "A" "B" C"  then after mirroring, we want them t occupy (roughly) the same space in the drawing area as "C" "B" "A".

Then, immediately after mirroring that selection set in place, each individual block that makes up the selection set is mirrored about its insertion point along the x axis..... basically i need to mirror a selection set of a row of blocks so I change their order of occurrence and then mirror each individual block back again to the way it is meant to look.

Is this possible?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Retaining Title Block Prompted Entries When Changing Title Blocks

Apr 26, 2013

The title blocks that we use have prompted entries in them and I would like to find a way using iLogic to copy the entries from one title block to another within the same drawing; i.e.. if the user decides to change from an A2 to A1 drawing.

I already have an iLogic rule which allows the user to change the active border, title block and sheet size based on a form selection but would like it to capture the prompted entries already entered and re-use them after the change.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Increase Number Of Points In Point Cloud?

Feb 21, 2013

I have a point cloud with 161 million points in it. This is basically fine and works well but I need to create equally high resolution surfaces from certain regions of the point cloud. No matter what size I choose my export shape, it will only create a surface from a ridiculously small 750,000 odd points, a 'feature' which has been documented on these forums before. I have POINTCLOUDDENSITY set to 100. 

My question is, how can I build a surface from this high resolution point cloud data that has more than 750,000 odd points?

 I'm thinking about mosaic'ing - ie. making several smaller surfaces over the required area and pasting them together.

Lightroom :: Increase Number Of Open Recent Files?

In previous versions this was unlimited. It allowed me a quick way to view catalogs I have worked on even months ago.There are no options inside Lightroom 5 to adjust this that I can find.
 
So is there a file I can modify in the Lightroom system folder or in the registry that will remove the limited number or increase the number allowed in the list?

AutoCAD .NET :: Inserting Blocks With Value For Y Is 0 From CSV File

Jul 23, 2013

I am trying to insert some blocks that i read from CSV file. I am reading the values for X and Y position from a CSV file and inseting blocks with this values in AutoCAD. 

Here is my

[CommandMethod("BI_5")] public void BlockInsert_5() { String filePath="C:\Users\Dimitar\Desktop\imp.csv"; CsvDoc csv = new CsvDoc(filePath, true); for (int i = 0; i < csv.Data.Count; i++) { string blockQualifiedFileName = csv.Get<string>(i, "Block Path"); double scale = 3.0; Vector3d DispacementVector = new Vector3d(Double.Parse(csv.Get<string>(i, "PosX")), Double.Parse(csv.Get<string>(i, "PosY")), 0); // Database tmpDb = new Database(false, true); tmpDb.ReadDwgFile(blockQualifiedFileName, System.IO.FileShare.Read, true, ""); Matrix3d Transform = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem; Transform = Transform * Matrix3d.Scaling(scale, Point3d.Origin) * Matrix3d.Displacement(DispacementVector / scale); db.Insert(Transform, tmpDb, true); } }

One of the values for Y is 0. And the block instead of showing on X,0 it shows at some X,Y value. If you need to see the csv file I can upload it.

AutoCad :: Blocks Inserting Improperly

Nov 4, 2011

I just created a dynamic block for our rev clouds, cause they're annoying to draw.

For some reason when I insert it, it is automatically inserting at 0,0. Why is it doing that? Also, if I put it into a Tool Palette (my boss just discovered these, so I'm creating a whole bunch for the company... those things are AWESOME) and when I use the Tool Palette, it works just fine.

Now, this won't be a problem as long as everyone uses the TP's I'm creating, but we have one Engineer in particular that's a toolbag and doesn't seem to remember to use all the stuff I spend all this time researching and programming.

AutoCAD .NET :: Creating Blocks But Not Inserting Correctly

Mar 22, 2013

I use the following code to create blocks in AutoCAD 2013.  When the user goes to insert this block, the insert command does not show a preview of the block when moving the mouse to locate it, and it comes in exploded.  This was working at one point, but something changed.  Is there some setting in AutoCAD or through the API that would cause this behavior? 

            Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            Point3d p1 = new Point3d(0, 0, 0);
            Point3d p2 = new Point3d(10, 0, 0);
            Point3d p3 = new Point3d(10, 10, 0);

AutoCAD Map 3D :: SDF To Blocks With Attributes?

May 19, 2013

I'm looking for a map tool that can convert feature data from an SDF file or SHP to autocad block's with attributes data. My client just want blocks with attributes and dont work with sdf or similares, they extract the attributes and then work them in other software, so, i wonder if there is a autocad map tool that make the conversion from feature data SDF to blocks with attributes, that will make the work mutch more easier and fast. 

Other question relational with blocks. How can we link block attributes and excell in real time, where i could change cells data in excell and the update happens in the open drawing and vice-versa?

And would like to know if there is a way to make this happen without vba tools or lisp's...just with map tools.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Inserting Blocks Into Mtext Editor

Jul 10, 2012

Is there a way to insert CAD blocks into the Multiline text editor, much like you are able to insert a block into a Table.

I am asking for the sole purpose of Plan Notes. When we lay out Plan Notes originally we place the note bubble next  to the line of text it represents. When we have to come back at a later time and edit the mtext, sometimes add a line our users are in a rush and forget to re-align the note bubbles with the text. If there was a way to insert the block into the text editor and have it still be able to edit it.

Is this a feature in 2013?
