AutoCad 2D :: Converting PLine To Revcloud
Dec 11, 2012I'm using AutoCAD 2013 and it will not convert a p-line to revcloud .

View 9 RepliesI have LWPOLYLINEs that represent a cross section of a train tunnel. Each LWPOLYLINE lists its 2D points in an Object Coordinate System.My task is to create 3D Polylines in WorldCoordinateSystem using those LWPOLYLINEs.I have posted a drawing with sample objects.
I have attached a sample drawing. Drawing was created with Civil 3D 2013, but I exporttoautocadr12dxf'd it and then save to 2004 dwg so most should be able to open it.
About 40% of the time, the REVCLOUD command will finish the cloud as concave. It will start correctly and be correct the entire time I am surrounding an area on my drawing and then when the last arc joins the starting point the entire cloud become inverted. Why? Is there something I can do to make it not do this? I don't seem to have any control over how it finishes. When it completes backwards, I fix it using PEDIT > Decurve then I convert the Polyline into a cloud and it appears correctly. Is there a better way?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to convert a closed 2D polyline into a revcloud (like using the command Revcloud > Object).But it seems there's no VBA command to draw a revcloud.So I had to add bulges between each vertex, but with this solution my cloud's arcs can be very small...
If Entity.Layer = "RevCloud" Then If Entity.EntityType = acPolyline Then NumberVertices = 0 vCoord = Entity.Coordinates For Each Dcoord In vCoord NumberVertices = NumberVertices + 1 NextNumberVertices = NumberVertices / 3 If Entity.Type <> acSimplePoly Then Entity.Type = acSimplePoly End If For nIndex = 0 To NumberVertices - 1 Entity.SetBulge nIndex, -1 Next End IfEnd If.
Acad 2009, the revcloud command doesn't give the options for "style" or "object" anymore.

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhen I invoke the Revcloud command and type "O" for options, I get a message box that says "Unable to open dialog box", if I close that message box I'm able to draw cloud lines in my drawing but I have no control of the cloud since I can not access the options dialog box.
My Revcloud was working fine last week.
why I'm getting the "Unable to open dialog box" message?
I'm trying to create a lisp routine where It will create a layer for the delta that is needed and at the same time adds the delta. I get delta revisions often and it takes time to add a new layer and a new delta for each plan. I would like to create a routine that creates the the new layer based on the revision number.
For example if I get a revision 2 I would like to have a lisp routine that creates a new layer but asks what number i would like to use, once the new layer gets created the revcloud command would run, I use polylines around my revisions then change them to cloud with the revcloud command. after i pick my polylines to be changed to clouds then it would add a delta block that is in an attribute and it lets me put the number of the revision i want. At the end I would have a new layer, a cloud around my revision and a delta corresponding to the revision number i'm currently working with.
I have a routine that creates the new layer, sets it current, and starts the revcloud command where i can pick the objects to change to clouds, after that I'm stuck, I'm not sure how to tell AutoCAD that after the selection is made to start the insert command to insert that delta attribute block. I mean the routine ends after i pick my objects, I tried doint the delta first but i ran into the same issue since my routine ends after AutoCAD ask me to pick a location to put my delta block.
I need to figure a way to tell AutoCAD that after something is picked or selected then to continue with the lisp routine without ending it. I atteched an example of what I have.
I have terrible lag whenever I am drawing a polyline. It seems like it is taking forever to render the preview of the line when I am dragging the line across the screen. I would prefer to just turn off the line preview if at all possible. So far, I have not been able to find a way to do this. When I say preview of the line, I am talking about the transparent line that follows your cursor after you start a polyline and exists until you click to place the line where you want it.

Recieved a ACAD converted Microstation File for use in an upcoming construction project. Would like to convert all of the existing ellipses to polylines. Have read several threads that lead me to believe redrawing them is about the only real way to do it. Posting here in hopes of a solution. Drawing contains 127 ellipses, and I dont want to redraw all of them!!
Currently on C3D2012.
what I need to do is to flatten a spline into a pline because I need to measure its diameter.
I know how to it with a 2d spline but how can I manage in case I have a 3d one?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI use AutoCAD Mechanical 2012. The attached cad files are shown. One is filled on arrow and pline. The other is not filled on arrow and pline.
These file used same system variables. How can do this? I would like know for system variables that possible can do.
whe i try to draw a pline it accepts the first numerical entry but locks up on the second point. Also when i use this command no matter what layer it is on the line becomes very fat

Is there a way to add/remove vertices from polylines using the grips method similar to editing hatch boundaries? I know of "Pedit" and "edit vertex" then "add vertex" but this seems like too many steps after working with hatch boundaries.

I want to create a segmented polyline with known angles / lengths, but I want to do this in 1 operation without having to copy/rotate/chamfer etc.
I'm sure it has something to do with UCS, but I've not used it in quite some time, I am stumped and everything I have tried so far has failed.

I use Pedit alot on straight line but won't work on circle. As you can see on the picture below when i changed the lineweight to be bigger but the circle is still the same.

what is the setting to tell a line to extend to the face of a pline when that line doesn't actually intersect with the pline? see image below...line 1 will extend to pline faces A and B, but how do i get line 2 to extend to those faces? i know this worked when i used autocad 2008 but i'm now using 2012 LT so hopefully it still works, i just don't remember the command name to control it.

I have bearings and distances but I am wondering if using PLIN is the best method to draw parcels in AutoCad Map 2012. I have a layer of the Townships, Ranges and Sections that I hope to align with the drawings. Most of the time it looks okay meaning they line up and for the most are where they are suppose to be but ever so often I have problems.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just started using Autocad 2010 (i know i know, its not the latest )... but anyways.
I am facing this unique problem where i have a 3d solid object in the drawing, and when the first point in a pline command falls within the boundary of the 3d solid, autocad automatically assigns some of the properties of the 3dsolid to the new polyline i draw.
so for example, in the attached file, even if i am selecting pline command and starting a command within the rectangle (start point shown as a circle), it automatically changes the z coordinates so that the resulting pline is angled to the xy plane.
I a not sure how this happens, and how I can turn it off.
In continuation with thread All to Pline . I want to add one more function to this lisp i.e. Join all the objects selected.
Can this be done?
I tried this:
(command "_.pedit" "m" ename "" "j" ename "")or (command "_.pedit" "" "j" ename "" "")
But it gives me an error something like this:
Requires numeric distance, two points, or option keyword.
