AutoCAD .NET :: How To Change Dimensional Constraint From Annotational To Dynamic
Jun 12, 2012public class DimConstraints{ [CommandMethod("Test")] public void Test() {
Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
using (Transaction trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()){
Circle circle = new Circle { Center = Point3d.Origin, Radius = 10 };
ObjectId modelId = SymbolUtilityServices.GetBlockModelSpaceId(db);
BlockTableRecord model = (BlockTableRecord)modelId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite); model.AppendEntity(circle);
trans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(circle, true);
AssocUtil.CreateRadialDimConstraint(circle.ObjectId, circle.StartPoint, circle.StartPoint);
trans.Commit(); } }}
The above codes use the simplified .NET API for accessing AutoCAD parameters and constraints from: [URL] ....
The above codes can create a radial dimensional constraint. But the type of the dimensional constraint is annotational. How to change it to a dynamic constraint?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Why Can't Use A Dimensional Constraint On A Knot In A Spline
Jan 23, 2012why can't I snap to a knot on a spline when trying to use a dimensional constraint? I can snap any other geometric feature like a line or a dimension string to a knot. I can grab the knot (also seems to be in the same place as the "fit point", yes?) and move it around, so why, why, WHY can't I use a dimensional constraint? I really need to be able to control a spline's fit points with dimensional constraints, but I can't get at them exept to manually move them around.

Apr 30, 2013Is there a way to setup Field entry text in a Table that will control Dimensional Constraint Parameters in a model?
I basically want the control of the Parameters Manager to be in table form on the drawing that is usable and printable.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Continuous Dimension Lisp That Alternate Its Position
Jul 12, 2012Is there a lisp that will allow me to do a continuous dimension, but will alternate the dimension position from low, high, low and high? If there is no lisp already created, how to create one?
See Continuous dimension attachment for example.
I work at a glass and glazing company and this is how we dimension mullion width and DLO. See typical window dimensioning attachment for window elevation with dimensions.

Oct 7, 2013Is there a way to programatically set a visual style before a drawing actually opens?
We have some huge models and people seem to forget to change their visual styles back to 2D wireframe before saving and exiting drawings. Some models will crash on some workstations when trying to open in a rendered mode.
I found a lisp with a function that looked to set viewport visual styles. But it does not seem to be supported anymore. --> (vla-put-VisualStyle vport 1)

Mar 14, 2012Attached is an assembly that I created. It includes a timing belt, 2 pulleys, 2 shafts, and some profile lugs that are attached to the belt with a false tooth.
1. why can't I constrain the profile lugs around the radius of the belt? Also, when I created the belt and put the holes in it, they disappeared because they ended up in the radius of the belt.
2. Is it possible to create a motion constraint to this model, so that it moves like a real belt?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Combinations In DCL?
Sep 7, 2012Is it possible to execute a certain command based on multiple selections withinin a dcl? for example: two radio colums, one with selections A and B, and a second with selections 1 and 2. is it possible to program commands based on user selections from each column? ex: if A and 1- do a command.

Oct 9, 2013I'm trying to find acceptable point values to feed to the vlax-3d-point function for a vla-addmtext function. With vanilla lisp I just provide the point as x y = "7/32" "2-3/8". So I assumed that I could drop a 0 in for the z like: (VLAX-3D-POINT "7/32" "2-3/8" 0).
Then I thought I was going to be tricksy and try (vlax-3D-point (getpoint)) believing that I could pick the point and get what I need to feed the function, but yet again, no deal. The command line gave me:
node
of #<variant 8197 ...>
Nothing I can use in my code. So how do I find the point in a format that vlax-3d-point will like?

Naturally,

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Z Value For Points?
Jan 5, 2012I have a drawing that has 2D pipeline (only x and y, z value =0) and 3 topo contour lines ( with x, y and z vaules). I need to divide the the 2D pipeline into say 2000 points and then get the corresponding z values from the topo contour lines. I think it can be done by interpolating between the z values for the two apparent intersection points of the 2D line and the contour lines, the x and y values will be the same for the points that falls between these two aparent intersections. Is there any lisp out there that can do that.

Is there a way to find the name of the third folder?
The string length of the characters for each of the first, second, third (and so on) folders are different, which means I can't count character using the "substr" function.
