A while ago my dynamic input method went from aligned to some sort of midpoint angled method. Not even really sure. What this is / how to change the input method?

For AutoCAD 2006, I have an entity that I am changing properties of, but I cannot figure out how to set the colormethod to "By Layer." I am sure that I am missing something, but I am at my wit's end.

For some reason I now have to enter a path name at a command prompt in order to open another drawing. I also have the same situation when trying to attach a pdf or jpeg file to my drawing. how to revert back to the standard window of opening or attaching options?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy need is to create up to 50 points from the same origin in a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system but I’d also like to have a labels for each point that show up in the feature tree.
Are there Inventor 2013 plugin (i.e., add-on, 3rd party, AP) to convert a list 3D Cartesian coordinate system locations (i.e., points) to Inventor to work points(x, y, z)?
I found that I cannot create 3D points in the assembly. Is this correct? I did find that an Inventor part may be used to create a 3D sketch that creates points in 3D space. In the past few days, I found two ways to create 3D points within a iPRT; the batch way uses an Excel file but it then does not allow me to name the points in the feature tree. The second way is to create them one at a time but that take way too much time.
I saw another thread on this, but it went unanswered, so I am going to ask it with some better information.I installed inventor pro 2012, and it was working fine for a few days, but it now is missing the input boxes for the Precise Input window. URL....

if condition A then
multivalue.setlist("length", 1,2,3,4,5)

(users can enter any value they want, how can i remove the list first and set it to custom value input?)
Is there a better an easier way to change the order of input/output parameters in the subassembly that i've created in SAC 2013 than the one where you have to go into a XML-file in the PKT archive file?
I've created my subassembly and I want to control the order of parameters to have a flow similar to the actual workflow.
In ULead VideoStudio is very easy, because I connect the Easy cap but I want to change the audio input by the Orange Input (Is connected the audio from the video of easycap, because the easycap Audio do not appear in recording devices to change the volume, because is too high).
Is Ulead VideoStudio SE is easy:
But in Corel Video Studio x2 x5 I can't change the audio input, only is the easycap audio input, but I want to change to the orange input.
I have been trying to change my audio input when capturing and i cannot seem to find a way to do this. I am using a logitech usb microphone or a plantronics one, however i cannot change it. It has it checked and grayed out, why isn't this an option?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen drawing using imperial units in Revit, it of course interprets values you input as feet until you press " to let it know you mean inches. As I am constantly going between Revit and AutoCAD, which does the opposite, I keep missing the " out of habit and wasting time repeating everything. My question is, is there a way to change the input from feet to inches so I can move more seamlessly between the two programs?

I am UNABLE to follow a tutorial on how to make a repeatable pattern using 'texture transfer' on some fire I want to make into a pattern!!! every time I select the area I want to use and the 'input map' and paste as new image and I tell Resynthesizer to use that image it ALWAYS errors out as "The Input Map Should Be The Same Size As The Input Texture Image" according to the tutorial another person gave me on this forum he said NOTHING about being the same size!!! in fact, his selection was SMALLER than the actual image that he was using Resynthesizer on!!!
View 4 Replies View RelatedAt some point in my code I used to call AutoCAD 2012 this way:
AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.18")
This procedure does for some reason not work in AutpCAD 2013
AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.19") produces an error
If if dim AcadApp as object I get a <COM Type> object (which I cannot use or convert to AcadApplication)If I dim AcadApp A AcadApplication i get this exception:
{"Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadApplication'.

i have a problem in Inventor 10 with the add method, which i didn't have in inventor 8, it's very puzzling. I open an assembly, add some parts (this goes without problems) then i open another assembly, change some stuff,close it again, so i'm back in the first assy and then the next add method fails.
Public Sub AddOccurrence()
' open assy
Set oAssy = ThisApplication.Documents.Open("C:TempAssy.iam", True)
' Set a reference to the assembly component definition.
Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
Set oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition

SSA rational method. I have to compare results of rational method between SSA and another product. Plain rational method, steady flow, Darcy-Weisbach. Times of concentration (TOC) are manually defined.
I played a bit with the units, formulas, IDF curve is defined as pair of values time/intensity. Seems that I achieved something. Results are more or less similar, but there are some differences. After playing with both programs, comparing in Excel, think that I found what is different.
So, I have very simple example, of one channel with catchment areas. All areas have the same runoff coefficient – 0.8. Pipe diameters are constant (500). The whole analysis is restricted between 5 and 10 minutes of rain duration (5 min-397.22 l/s/ha and 10 min – 321.53 l/s/ha). I converted IDF to mm/hr. So I have the next example:
[picture in attachment]
In theory, what I learned about rational method, there is next definition:
Intensity from IDF curve is defined by TOC. TOC is defined by sum of „entrance time“ (which is defined by shape and size of catchment area) and sum of upstream flow times. In my example I defined 5 min for every area.
So, for example for pipe nr. 3, TOC is calculated:
TOC_3 = Entrance time for area 3 + Tflow_1 + Tflow_2 + Tflow_3
For example:
TOC_3 = 5 min + 0.67 + 0.45 + 0.51 = 6.63 min
That TOC_3 (6.63 min) is base for reading appropriate value of intensity (I_3) from IDF curve. The flow in pipe 3 is then calculated:
Q_3 = I_3 * (A1 * k1 + A2 * k2 + A3 * k3)
This is the way how I learned rational method. But results between SSA and another product (which works in a way explained above) are different. Differences increase downstream.
After playing with results in Excel, I found out that SSA does not summarize in TOC all flow times upstream. So TOC in SSA is calculated simply by initial entrance time and flow time in specific pipe:
TOC_3 = Entrance time for section 3 + T_flow_3
So, there is no time added from T_flow of pipes 1 and 2. Seems that it is major difference which leads to final results differences. I tried to understand all options of SSA to find possibility to add upstream flow times, but without success.
I need functions:
acdbEntGet
acdbEntMod
acdbEntUpd
of course, usingP/Invoke.

While looking at the different tolerance methods, I see a couple called MIN and MAX, which just tack these words to the end of the dimension. Is there a way to customize the tolerance methods to add suffixes or prefixes to dimensions, such as TYP or 2 PLCS or something like that, so that I can minimize my detailing time.

Also, if possible, how to combine two objectidcollection into one?
performance differences between:
1) Using a selction filter to get the objectIDs of a particular type, then iterating them, or
2) Iterating all modelspace objects, checking ObjectID.ObjectClass.Name for the desired type.

Basically a project could contain one idw file, or it could contain 20 idw files or 100 or more.
Our titleblock has about 12 entries of project information that will be consistent on all sheets whether that's one sheet or a 1000 sheets.
Is there a way to link an excel file to each idw? (I'm pretty sure not : ) ) or some way to have a central repositor for those properties so that if something changes, we don't have to go back and change each idw?
I have seen the drawing transfer management wizard, but it seems like overkill to a situation that has to have existed a long time - that being needing customer info on a titleblock. Seems like it'd be the perfect think for linking an excell file or having actual properties in the project file.
I'm new in civil 3d road design so my question may be basic.when i prepare a corridor and proceed to get cut and fill it appears as zero.i think i made some mistake at a stage when in section line we decide surfaces..step wise from section line selection to cut/fill calculation also give me the general concept regarding selecting surfaces during cut/fill volume calculation?

I need to get familiar with the Inventor API for my thesis.Currently, I need to extend the face of a part.I started with selecting the face edge by
Dim ActiveDocument As Inventor.Document
Dim spline As Object
Set spline = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartEdgeFilter, "please choose the face edge!")
This is working fine.I know that the next step would be to use the ExtendFeature method of PartFeature, but I do not know exactly how to do this. Do I need to get the face as parent of the edge? How can I invoke the extesion then?
1. start a new drawing from a template
2. start a new drawing from scratch and insert a titleblock
3. the hardest way to do it start from scratch and draw everything including the titleblock
