AutoCad 2D :: Better Way Of Producing Coordinates
Feb 7, 2012
Work has finally given me a machine that can run AutoCAD properly and I now also have the office license of full AutoCAD 2011 (vanilla AutoCAD not architecture etc.)
I am about to start placing a lot of setting our coordinates onto some drawings and was wondering what the easiest/fastest way to produce setting out coordinates utilising all the fancy stuff AutoCAD has.
On LT I used to place points where I wanted the coordinates from, copy a peice of MText around say E:XXXXX N:XXXXXX with a leader from the point to the text. I would then go around listing each individual point and copy and paste from the AutoCAD text window to the MTEXT correcting the decimal point manually.
My director on this job hates tables of coordinates so I can't use them. Also the datum of the drawings is not world UCS, would this be a problem? I have looked at the LISP tutorial but have never used any LISP beyond this.

i am trying to translate a Point coordinates from Paperspce to world coordinates in model space.The code i used in Land2006 worked OK but now in Civil3d 2012 it doesn't!
Private Sub GetPlais_Click()
Dim tmpnt1 As Variant, tmpnt2 As Variant, tmpPnt1 As Variant
Dim lole(0 To 2) As Double, upri(0 To 2) As Double
Dim returnobj As AcadObject
FrmGrid3.Hide
On Error GoTo Eline
ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity returnobj, tmpPnt1, "ÅðÝëåîå ôï ViewPort ðïõ èá äçìéïõñãçèåß ï êÜíáâïò!"
If TypeOf returnobj Is IAcadPViewport Then

I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

I am trying to produce an iFeature that can be used as a punch/slot within a sheet metal component.
I have had minor success creating basic dimples before (simple revolved features), but this time I require a more detailed feature. I haven't been able to produce this part (see attached) as an i Feature. I believe it is because I have used a loft.
What alternatives are there? (I feel if I could get a good grasp on the limits of iFeatures that I could really make my modelling more efficient and versatile).

Using the autopublish command, I'm getting PDF files that display just fine on my monitor, but then when I try to print I get this series of error messages:
"The document could not be printed."
"There were no pages selected to print."
"A drawing error occurred."
But the most frustrating thing is that it only happens for some .dwg files, not all. It seems that the larger they are and the more pages involved, the more likely they are to produce this error.
EDIT: I just went through and tried to print page by page. It turns out of the 22 pages, the only two that won't print and give the errors above have no viewports and are just two large tables filled with text. Is there anything I can do to these tables to make the pages print?

The coordinates that we can apply in Revit (project/shared) aren't exactly the same to have real world projection coordinates (WGS84)??
If not how can we convert the revit shared coordinates to real world projection coordinates?

In an .idw environment, I have multiple models displayed.I am trying to create simple text labels for each model using text, modifying each one so that it will display the part number and the revision level by using the "Component" drop down box and assigning the proper "Type" and "Property", then using the "Add Text Parameter" button to place the fields into the text box.
This works as intended for the first model that I created a view for. However, it will not work for each successive model; the text will revert to the part number and revision level of the first model that was brought into the .idw environment, even if I change the target component in the "Component" drop-down box.
In the .jpg that I have attached, you can see that I have 035-14218 selected in the "Component" drop-down. This is the initial model that I brought into the .idw. and the resulting text is correct.

In trying to produce out an .mp4 file (H.264, 5000 data rate, 30fps frame-based, 1280x720) at some point in the file creation, usually around 70%, the screen goes black, I have no keyboard or mouse response and the only sign of life is the blue light on the CPU. The only way out is a hard shutdown and reboot. Needless to say nothing gets produced out.

I am trying to produce video files for a website video player that requires either FLV or MP4 videos in a non-HD resolution with a widescreen aspect ratio. I am using VisualStudio Pro X5, and the source video files were shot in 1280x720. The project files are in the VSP format (not HTML5).
I might be missing something, but I do not see any options to render any type of FLV file... is this correct?
Regarding MP4's, I only seen one option for a non-mobile MP4, and that is the MP4 HD which will not work as I need a lower resolution. All of the other MP4 options are various iPhone / i Pad / mobile phone files and do not work with standard web browsers. I am looking to produce a non-mobile MP4 in something like a 480x720 resolution, but that doesn't appear to be possible.

Running CS6 Basic on W7-64bit. I'm not a frequent user of CS6, mostly Photoshop Elements does all I need, but I've been reworking the CS5 Classroom in a Book exercises to refresh my CS6 knowledge.
I've reached the exercise (page 139) where multiple images of a model are merged using File> Automate> Merge to HDR Pro... but getting a weird result in CS6 64-bit. I've tried (resetting preferences, ensuring images are displayed in tabs) but neither has worked. My graphics drivers are up to date as are all Windows updates.
If I run the same images through Merge to HDR Pro in the 32-bit version of CS6 its perfect.

I am looking for producing Blu-Ray compliant output from VideoStudio. I have VS PRO X4 with SP2. The input is AVCHD from a Canon HF200 and the target is Adobe Encore.
The reason for Encore is that I need a good navigation solution. VS’s menu and navigation is somewhat primitive. But Encore is notoriously zealous about compliance. An had given up on getting Encore to recognize anything from VS as compliant but took another look and now I’m even more confused.
As a baseline, if you take the raw clips from the camera and put them into Encore it accepts that they are Blu-Ray (H.264/AC3) compliant and will not attempt to transcode them. This is what I want since the output will be essentially the same as the input so no loss and the time to output is quite fast. The exception to this is when something like a transition occurs then it must be rendered. What I was not expecting is that VS does not appear to render the whole clip. It renders the bit that has the transition or effect or title etc. up to the next GOP then appears to revert back to not transcoding again. I can’t be 100% sure of that but carefully watching the CPU and disk activity and showing the render progress it is quite obvious that when it gets to raw footage again it starts behaving like a file copy rather than a render. This suggests that SmartRender actually does try and do the right things.
I did try to put a clip at the front of the project then tell VS to render as per first clip. This did not work, the output was compliant but it decided to render everything. I would expect this to be the ideal case for NOT rendering but something went wrong. If you put an item that does need rendering followed by the raw clips it renders than flips into just copy. There seems to be a logic fault here somewhere. Then I found that if disabled SmartRender the output for was compliant but it rendered all the clips.
If I output the project as Blu-Ray (MPEG-2) it come out as fully compliant and Encore won’t touch it. Of course it is twice as big as the original and some degree of rendering must have taken place, although it takes only a fraction of the time for other renders. I am not sure why this is the case either. If I use the other options (like 1440x1080i) it is also compliant (although the scenes are totally distorted as you expect).
I also tried a custom preset setting the video to 1920x1080i with a max bit rate of 20000 H.264 and the AC3 to 384kbps. I know there are quite a few more factors in Blu-Ray compliant video but this is all I can set.
It seems no matter what I do I get compliant Blu-Ray output EXCEPT for the one I really want with SmartRender doing it’s thing.
All I can conclude from this is that VS can produce compliant Blu-Ray and SmartRender short circuits the render but for some reason already fully compliant video gets turned into non-compliant video.

I am getting unwanted artifacts when I work with medium to large size brushes in Liquify. The artifacts look like lines of a few pixels width that are offset from the surrounding image area -- almost like pulling a couple of threads in a woven patterned fabric. This has happened with both large and small file sizes. It necessitates way too much retouching.
I use liquify extensively on images and didn't have this problem when I used Photoshop 7. It began with CS. I am now using CS2 on a G5 with OS 10.4. Any ideas how to solve this?

I have two frames. Each contains a transparent background and an completely opaque object. When I choose the tweening option with specified number of frames, I get a semi-transparent transition.
If I first duplicate the first frame, then select all three frames and choose tweening I also get a semi- transparent transition.
I even copied the layers before converting the whole thing into a Frame Animation - with the same result.
(I also saw the older Topic here: [URL], but it was no use to me, since I even had this effect when I first duplicated the frame).

I am trying to create a panorama using 5 images. I did this 6 months ago using Photoshop CS5 and it produced a nice sharp image like my originals were. Using CS6 it is not sharp at all, to the point of being quite useless. If I can't figure this one out I am just going to go back to CS5.
both panorama's were created from the same 5 images, in the second one I just wanted to make it a bit warmer because the white balance in the first image doesn't accurate reflect the colours that I saw. The second one created in CS6 looks really bad. And are there any solutions besides scrapping CS6 in favour of CS5?

I had a road map drawing in Draw X3, mostly lines and text, and used to export to pdf for smartfphone compatibility, getting typically an adequate quality 204 kB file using "export for editing" export setting. After upgrading to Draw X5 the same file gives a 1508 kB pdf file which is too large. If the export setting is turned back to "web" I get a small 40 kB file but the quality is not so good. How do I compromise between "web" and "edit" settings for exporting to pdf.

I have seen tuts on making cracks. I was wondering if there was an easier way.I want to make a crack that stays in the middle of a letter (even around the bends in the letter), and has branches. The cracks I draw always seem manufactured. I am looking for a cracked earth type of crack. If you have any idea on how to accomplish this could you provide an example picture?

I have two frames with the start and end of my animation. My two layers contain a transparent background and an opaque object. When I choose the tweening option and add my specified number of frames, then test the animation, the start of the animation is 0% opaque and slowly becomes 100% at the end.
My two layers used for start and finish are opaque. I have all the checkboxes checked by default for the tweening, and I can't figure why I'm getting a fade-in effect for my animation.

I want to insert dimension lines on this project. But instead of having an actual dimension I'd like it just to be a letter that refers back to a chart of possible dimensions for that element. How do I do this? I'm using AutoCad Architecture 2012.

I have Autocad Map3D 2010. I have a set of points in a CSV file containing points, latitude and longitude, in columns, that I want to import to a map and place the points (houses) in the appropriate locations with the house number. I click IMPORT, MAP IMPORT, select my file as PNE and the data in the preview window appears correctly. I'm using OH83-SF coordinate code which the map is. When I click OK it appears to have completed the command but nothing appears on the map and I get no error notifications. As a test I put an incorrect value in one of the lists and it did flag the error. I've tried space delimiters, commas, txt and Excell tables and always the same - nothing. I've tried the command line MULTIPLE POINTS and entered the geo coordinates and again - nothing appears on the map.
