9 times our of 10, I can't trim away the overlap on a pair of circles.. as every now and then the trim suddenly decides it will work!
Trim_Issue.jpg
I just can't work out why these pesky circles refuse to trim! I'm trying to merge them into one 'cloud' like shape, by removing the overlapping section from each circle.
My image is overlapping artboard borders,is there any easy way to cut/trim all overlapping objects??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two overlapping circles with 2px solid stroke. Now, I'd like to change the two parts of the circles which are now within the circles to a dashed line. But this creates only parts of the lines in dashed mode. Here, I used the Pathfinder's "Divide".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a logo. Circular logo with an inner ring maybe 4 px wide and 15 px inside the rim of the outer circle.
Basically I want a blue circle with a yellow inside ring. What's the best way of doing this? The only thing i can think of is: creating a blue circle marquee, and then another (trying to estimate a new circle size and change the color) that is yellow, and then making another smaller blue circle inside the new one. That's just ugly.
I tried the edit/stroke but that just gave me a stroke around the outer circle; it didn't put a ring inside the circle 15 px down.
Also I tried to contract the original circle by selecting it, then Modify/contract. That's got me a selected ring, inside the circle. Now how in the world do I make that little ring yellow? It just remains selected and I can't seem to find a way to color it.
I have a task of finding the lines which are overlapping on each other (not completely). One Plines start or End point will be on another lines(without snapping). Need to find all those such lines..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm plotting a drawing in which I have land parcels provided in the form of a connected ArcGIS shp file. The parcels are closed polygon features. I'd like to plot the parcels as phantom linetype. The problem is where neighboring parcels have common boundaries, Autocad Map does not filter out the overlapping boundary segments for the purpose of plotting.
As a result, the linetype becomes a mixture of phantom and solid lines and everything in between. I've tryed using plotstyles as well as styling the polygons. I don't think plot styles work with map features. The styling works when the lines do not overlap. Exploding the polygons and removing duplicate segments is not a realistic solution when working with data that is shared by true GIS programs like ArcGIS. I've seen some old postings that indicate this has been a problem for years.
is possible to analyse the chain to see if is overlapping ?

I'm trying to hatch multiple objects in one go, most of which overlap with eachother in places. When I do this, the overlapping areas don't get hatched. I've tried selecting different options for island detection, but this doesn't seem to work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedToday i had to use hatch a lot, the mission was to hatch extended and and walls that not with different hatch types.
the first thing that came up is to use wipeuot under the hatch, but its lots of work and time waste (wipeout objects never been plot-friendly).
what do you do when you have to hatch overlapping objects.
During the process of drafting many lines overlap (e.g. construction lines, objects merging, etc)
Because the overlapping lines have precisely the same properties, I don't feel the need to remove them.
The issue begins when I go to plot. The overlapping lines do appear darker than lines without overlapping. This occurs a great deal in my work!
Is there a function that will merge/flatten these lines so that no more overlapping lines exist?
In paper space I have a rectangular viewport showing a floorplan. I have placed another smaller viewport over the larger vp in order to show a scaled-up detail of the floorplan. However I can still see the image from the larger vp below ( as well as the smaller vp's contents ), Is it possible to lay one vp over another, blocking out the image from the vp below?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI assume it's just my autocad display but I can never tell if lines and are drawn correctly or not. I'll draw construction lines and circles and grip edit my linework to snap to the end points and arc midpoints perpindicular to the circle but there are still overlapping displays. In the attached image I've snapped to arc points to the circle and the edges of the hatch to the extension/intersection of them and this is how it still displays.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working through a tutorial on [URL] drawing and attempting to hatch the second Extra Practice assignment at the bottom of that page: [URL] I've drawn it from a closed polyline with a circle overlapping it but I'm not sure how to assign different hatches to each of the six sections as shown in the second link above. I've tried opening the hatch dialog, selecting the polyline and choosing points, but I can't get there. I exploded the polyline into lines and tried selecting points again, but no good. I tried selecting the entire (unexploded) polyline, but I can't assign individual different hatches to each section - I just get the usual all/in-out, etc. behavior. I assume I could manually construct entities to match each section, but that gives me the same bad vibes as using goto when programming. Just doesn't seem right.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm currently drawing renovation plans, sections and elevations, and i have a prexisting set of drawings, a after renovation set of drawings and would like to achieve the intersecting of this two sets with objects/lines in yellow for whats going to be demolished and red for whats being built and white for whats to remain untouched.
I started by setting a yellow color for the first set and red for the second set. And worked my way to the excrutianting task of breaking and setting this two sets of 2d drawings.
Is there a command or routine that allows me to break a line were two diferent lines overlap in the drawing. I was wandering if i could do that i then would only have to overkill the entire drawing..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a square and make it as a region. I just realize that they are consist of two kind of overlapping objects.
One is four lines that formed a square and another is the formed square region.

I have an assembly with various parts in it. I am trying to write a routine that will
1) systematically traverse the assembly and find parts that overlap,
2) where they overlap perform a sculpt operation on the parts
Whilst i can do this manually by edit>copy object>sculpt>select surface ... i don't know how to mimic this programmatically.
So far i have coded to do it in a very hamfisted way by making a derived part file from the overlapping parts, opening the derived part file and performing the sculpt, replacing the original part in the assembly with its new derived-sculpted part and then continuing to traverse the assembly tree.. - it is super slow and uses lots of file operations.
I was sent a detailed map in dwg format that shows a river in the country. The model has a layer called sheets that has 17 rectangles in many orientations which overlap and cover the data i wish to print. There is a layout tab called "Sheet 2 to 17" which show page 17 with a tempalte when the pointer is over the tab similar to Windows 7 Aero, but if you open the layout the page space is blank. I'm not familiar with the use of a layer to break the drawing into multpile overlapping sheets and my end goal is to print the model as the 17 defined sheets on 11 x 17 paper.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work for a local government and we contract out most of our CAD work. Our consultants switched to Civil 3D and it apparently cannot adhere to our standards for the profile views. We currently have manholes that would overlap in the profile view drawn "offset" and labeled as such. This allows for a much cleaner view when we get into intersections. Since the switch to Civil 3d they are drawn over top of each other with just the centerline offset at the top of the profile grid. So, my question is - is this true? Is there any way to work around this and still maintain the pipe network (footages, connectivitly, etc)?

But when there are some densely located points, these points overlay and cannot be read. The font size also adjusted. Then too there are lot of overlapping.
