Is there a simpler way of creating Isolines (more like transition geometry) between a couple of flat 2D profiles?
Isolines.PNG
Currently I am using the LOFT command for the purpose. But it doesn't automatically produce the desired Isolines as both the "parent profiles" are in the same plane. For that, I have to manually elevate one "parent profile" then change the Isoline UV number, then do some export/import WMF thingy to remove the unwanted edge profile...
I have created master assembly that has rules to 'save as' the assembly and parts to different locations and with different names. This master assy has links to excel file to get different names
In the same way I am looking the drawings (for both assy and parts) needs to be created and 'save as' to different locations. These newly generated drawings should have links to newly created parts/assembly.
I am able to 'save as' the master drawings to different locations but these newly created drawings still has links to master assembly/parts.
When I create a new feature for a feature class in Map, it pops up the Data Table so I can enter my information. The table is a SQL table connected via FDO. There is an ID field set as the primary key. Map wants me to manually enter in the ID. How do you auto generate this field?
I am wanting to set up my cad so that when I save a file, a *.pdf file (with the same name as the saved *.dwg file) is automatically generated and dropped in a specific folder. I think that the auto publish should do this for me, but have been unable to get it to generate anything. When I hit save it is prompting me to do the publish, then after I say yes, it shows a brief status bar as if it is working, but when I try to go to the folder to which the publish option is mapped it is still empty.
Which software application can I use to create a rendering of an elevation from just 2 dimensional dwg plans and elevations? I was interning in an office where the developer hired a render to develop illustrations of our design. The render said he only required our first floor and second floor plans, and the elevation we wanted rendered. The turn around time was very quick (24 hours). I was surprised as building a model takes me a long time. The cornice was very detailed, it would have taken much longer to build a model.
I was wondering if there is a way that AutoCAD can automatically generate a polyline (or something similar) that would illustrate the desired direction for a route from linked database information. My taxation/assessment/water department would like a map showing the routes a water meter reader should take according to linked data on parcel rollnumbers. They want an arrow on a line showing a route that should be follwed for each zone/metered area.
I drew a 3d spiral, and now i need to create a cut-sheet in sections (half or quarter) so I can sent to my shop for fabrication. Please see attached photos.
I want to be able to provide a cut sheet template so i can print it out and they can trace it on the sheet metal, cut however many sections required, and weld it together to create the spiral. My concern is that the top view dimensions is not an accurate dimension when the piece is bent 8 inches from the start of the spiral.
Also, my next issue would be the side wall of the spiral, and how to properly create a cut sheet on the given dimensions.
I also tried to do this in Autodesk Inventor, using the sheet metal tool, flatten command, and I was unable to flaten the object.
I decided to try at making myself a 3d D20 in AutoCAD 2013 and have run into MANY problems. I have slowly chipped away at them, but I still have one issue, I am having issues turning my 20 regions (faces) into one solid.
Picture below showing the 'shell' made out of regions on the right.
We are implementing a new ERP system and we've programmed the configurator in it to build a price for us. We'd like to create a simple 2D drawing for us in AutoCAD based on some of the data from the configurator automatically. Is it possible using AutoCAD LT 2013 or do you need the full version to build something like this? Also, does this sound like it would require a lot of programming in CAD?
I have generated a TIN surface and change the style to "Slope". I want to create a legend for the surface, but the legend has no content, only the header.
Any archiving or library tool that would develop a preview contact sheet - JPG, PDF, etc.. of a folder of say 700-1000 basic DWG drawings of manufacturing assemblies (not complex building layouts or anything).
We've got a ton of old drawings that we need to sift through and I don't want to open each one.
My boss said i could generate an isometric view of a drawing if i have the plan, elevation, and side views (makes sense enough). how do i go about doing this? is there an existing thread i can be forwarded to? (searching "isometric" didn't seem specifically useful.)
I have a finished 3D model in AutoCAD (although I did import it from another program), and I want to create the standard orthographic views as easily as possible. This tutorial looked perfect [URL].........
but i ran into some trouble. At step 5, where it says to press Base or use the command VIEWBASE i get a window that will ask me to open up some kind of inventor file. The tutorial does not acknowledge this, but the rest of the instructions and result seem like just what I need!
The question is 'how to generate ribs out of surface, to machine from wood and assemble the skeleton for doing fiberglass'). URL....Someone generated those wooden ribs, machined it and assembled the shape to fill inside with stereofoam (say), and cover by fiberglass to generate mold.
I failed to find any kind of tutorial that answers "how generate such ribs out of a surface at hand".
I have generated around 1200 iParts from my drawing and I would like to generate every ipart in an individual ipt. file.
This is easily done by right-clicking the iPart and clicking on Generating Files. But I can't manage to generate all the ipt files in one go. I noticed that I can hold Ctrl and selecting all the iPart, but I would prefer not spending a couple of hours selecting 1200 iPart.
I curently have a rule that generates a part list automatically in a drawing. the problem is that I want the rule to be continuisly running but it keeps generating 2,3,5... parts lists. I need an if statment to check if a parts list already exists.
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True On Error Resume Next ' Set a reference to the drawing document. ' This assumes a drawing document is active. Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument 'Set a reference to the
How do I generate a table that shows cut and fill quantities for comparing two surfaces similar to that what shows up in the panorama window. I am not working on a road project with an alignment.
I've been trying to work out how to generate a whole lot of smaller drawings from a bigger drawing, automatically through Scripting and Lisp programming. Each of these smaller drawings would be based on a rough 20 metre buffer of the property boundaries inside it. Each drawing created would preferably be the expression of the House number + Street name, which are in each property boundary parcel as object data. What I have been doing in the past is attaching and querying the required drawing one by one but this takes a while and we are about to get a whole shed load more to be done.
I am trying to generate my quantities by creating sections with template to do the cut and fill, however after i create the corridor and the corridor surface which should use the bottom of the curb, instead it is using the top of the curb. How can i change it so that it uses the bottom of the curb. It is a road crossection which i used from toolpalette, CIVIL3D 2012
