I have a file that is behaving very oddly. Its a detail that I cannot pick some lines on in world UCS, but in Isometric views will pick ok, and to make matters worse, when I do a regen the lines in question vanish.
File attached, refer to AS DRAWN MKGP2, top left of drg sheet 324125_JJ_005_A.dwg
I have a roof plan where I am showing a high roof and low roof on the same view. I created a plan region around the low roof area and set the cut planes accordingly to show that roof. The walls under the low roof do not correctly display the existing walls losing the phase half tone and hidden lines. See the attached image. I can pick away at the walls one at a time to override the lines, but that is a PITA. Is this a bug problem with Revit 2014 Design Suite or a user problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am 2 days into using X6 instead of X4 attached to my trotec engraver, using XP.All goes well with the print to the trotec job control, with it picking up the red vector cut line.
But if I print multiple pages, or use print merge (which is essentially the same thing), the cut line only prints as red on the first page. From then on the print line is some grey colour and consequently the laser does not pick it up.
Have tried changing colour conversion to the Trotec, but this doesn't have any effect.
i am trying to do this in gIMP. The closest i can get is checking angle/direction in the dynamic editor but it doesn't quite look right at all. Almost, but no. It is almost like the lines are lagging or slow to pick up on my mouses direction? If that makes any sense. i want it to look exactly like that video or if you don't want to watch it, a treasure map effect.

View 2 Replies View RelatedQuestion - What is the difference between the world UCS and the top UCS?
I am working in a fairly large model and when I have the UCS set to world and do the ID command I get the correct coordinance. However when I am in a plan view and UCS is set to top the co ordinance come in roughly 600 feet different. How to set the UCS so that co ordinance will be the same no matter what UCS is being used? Or explain why this would be?
I am trying to insert Geo-referenced TIF files into Map 2013 but the associated World files are not being found/recognised even though they are in the same directory as the image. I have tried both TAB and TFW using MAPIINSERTand Data Connect.
Going back to Map 2012, which we still have in the office, the World files are found and correlated correctly with both of the above World file types and Map commands.
I can do what I need to do in 2012 for the moment
I have 4 plans of the a building in separate files, all set to world ucs. I xref in ground floor to the first floor, then move the first floorr so it aligns. I complete the same process for plant room and roof. Having saved all the files I then xref back the first floor into the ground floor using the insertion point as 0,0,0 but the plans do not align???!!! I do the same for the other plans, the plant room plan aligns with ground floor whilst the roof plan aligns with fist floor [but not ground].
I have tried reinserting numerous times but am missing something? The files were supplied to us as dwg format but I do not know the full history.
I am using map 3d and I would like to merge/attach aerial photo map into an Autocad basemap. I was told that there is a featurein Map 3d that can merge aerial together.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to move our firm to using a UCS that aligns with the viewport.
However my hesitation has always been that World does not seem to restore to the original coordinates.
We do survey drafting and the map grid coordinates are critical and we drop in new survey data over the existing on a regular basis.
I tested it again last week but still I cannot insert new data into the same position even after restoring to World UCS. It is consistently about 1.5 units offset from the correct position.
Am I doing something wrong? Should USC World set it back the identical original coordinates such that I could confidently paste with a 0,0 base point and have geometry by in the correct position.
I have been sent a very large number of files for which the world file is jpgw not jpw. Is there any way to get AutoDesk to recognize this? I know that I can get it to work by renaming the world file to jpw, but I have hundreds of files so really don't ant to go down that route.

In my drawing I have set my UCS to a gridline (I'm drawing up a survey from a construction site), named the ucs 'square' and then set Plan view to Current so that it is nice and square to the screen. I saved the drawing in this plan view.
However, when I reloaded the drawing this morning, my 'square' plan view has become 'World'. Also my 'square' UCS has disappeared from the list of UCS's. I thought this was just a funny bug so I typed 'UCS' followed by 'w' hoping the world UCS would go back to the real one, but nothing happened. As far as I know it is not possible in ACAD to rename, alter or in fact do anything to World UCS (for good reason), but this is what ACAD appears to have done all by itself.
Luckily I have all the site gids saved in their 'world' orientations so I can get round it by a simple bit of copybase/paste/rotate, (but it means my dimension text is all going to be skewiff).
As a caveat I should add that I am a very exprienced ACAD user (7years) and regularly work in 3D in all kinds of views and UCS's and I've never had this happen before.
I have a storm drainage drawing that has all the parts, pipes, and their labels in model space (as a data reference) and everything shows up fine in Civil 3D 2010. But my drafter opened the drawing in regular 2010 auotcad with object enablers loaded and the labels were rotated to the world coordinate system and not the plan view. Is there a setting in the styles that controls this?

How to stop the UCS from automatically turning to world when extruding a circle?
Example: If you start with a circle drawn to your set 3 point UCS the quadrants are in line with the X & Y but as soon as you extrude the circle into a cylinder the UCS turns the quadrants to world, I want the quadrants to stay in the same place as my 3 point UCS position.
Not sure if it's just a system variable that need changing.

I have read somewhere using PSCS2 that you can go into shapes and retrieve a picture of map of the earth. I know the keys you have to press on the keyboard are 3 seperate keys to get this image from the shapes as it is not shown in the menu's for some reason.
So does anyone know the keys to get the world map?
I have programmatically created a block, which resembles the protective tube schematically drawn. The block consists of two ellipses of connected the two lines. This block tries to modify (also programmable). The modification consists of changing the position of the ellipse and the length of the line. Everything (almost) goes smoothly, until the pipe extends beyond its original length. The changes are visible, but I'm not able to pick the block beyond its original contour. So I can pick out such lines, if picked point is on the original length, but beyond its original length is not already. The same applies to the ellipse. The situation returned to normal, if I tried stretch the block (base point) or command _move. Regeneration of the model does not work.

I was drafting away, and all of a sudden my crosshairs and pickbox disappeared. Once I move the mouse there's nothing in my drawing plane. I can type commands, and when I move the mouse up to the menu area I can pull down menus. I've opened up other drawings and the crosshairs and pick box are there.
What can I do to resolve this? Of course it happens during a deadline.

In selecting a point in a drawing to connect new poly lines to existing objects, is there a way to set the order to which osnap elements are used?I have perhaps 1/2 of the osnap element settings activated. End point, Mid point, Node, Intersection, etc.
When I go to select, it's like everything EXCEPT End Point is recognizing. And while I can go to right click, and select end point, I am now wondering, if besides the rt click, there is a way to preset the priority, or order in which the osnap elements recognize the type.Without resetting the settings each time.
This might be asking for a bit too much. But how would I make a 3d pixelated world like in the template below.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a program (C#) that automates the notch tool within the frame generator add-in in Inventor. I can select one part and then select multiple other parts that will notch to the first selected part automatically. This will save me a TON of time if I get it working correctly. With that being said, I have it to the the point where the user selects the first part and then window multiple parts (these are stored and then cycled through later), then I use SendKeys to open the "Notch Tool", and now this is where I encounter my problem.
The Notch Tool is waiting for the user to Pick/Select one part. In my code I've tried to use the CommandManager.DoSelect method which does not register with the tool (I'll exit out of the tool and the part will be selected). My thinking is that this notch tool will only accept the CommandManager.Pick method which would defeat the purpose of the program as I do not want the user to have to go through the parts one by one notching them together.
Is there a way to simulate a mouse click on a selected occurrence within Inventor? Is there another approach I should be considering? And finally, how to rewrite the actual notch tool to allow multiple notches to be done at once?! I'll post a snippet of my code.
docName = instance.ActiveDocument.DisplayName;
int iHandle = NativeWin32.FindWindow(null, "Autodesk Inventor 2012 - [" + docName + "]");
this.Hide();
NativeWin32.SetForegroundWindow(iHandle);
keybd_event(0x23, 0x4F, 0, 0); // Press End
keybd_event(0x23, 0xCF, 0, 0); // Release End (Brings up notch tool)
Thread.Sleep(3000);
//keybd_event(0x28, 0x0F, 0, 0); // Press Tab
//keybd_event(0x09, 0x8F, 0, 0); // Release Tab
NativeWin32.SetForegroundWindow(iHandle);

i am trying to make a custom palette to display some custom information pulled out from selected objects.i can deal with the palette part.
i want some code for when you click an object in model space then the property palette updates. i am gonna keep it simple so this custom palette only refresh to the last selected object. but i don't know how to make an event when mouse click the autocad object and then do my things. any codes in c# or vb.net would be nice.
so use commandmethod load in a command and there will be a palette there stay open, when user click on an object then it will get populated. what event do i use for the clicking?

Have noticed that on an AutoCAD 2013 workstation when the user make an ambiguous pick (that it, pick on top of two or more overlapped items) instead of just selecting one of them, there will appear a list box (whose caption is "Selection") containing all entities that may be selected in that spot and also None option. The user may pick the entity(ies) he/she want to have selected, but this behavior also prevents dragging the entities (since the said list box is shown again).
