AutoCad 2D :: Make Associative Path Array To Depict Stair Treads

Jul 19, 2011

I am creating a set of parametric stairs. All of my constraints are in place for my 2 main work points. I am now trying to make an associative path array to depict the stair treads. Path array works great initially, however when I change my variables for stair height, my stair treads tilt with my work line in such a way that they're no longer parallel to the floor.

The angle of the stairs must be variable as it will change from one set of stairs to another. All that said, I am wondering if there is some variable or command that will make the treads retain their ucs orientation regardless of the angle of my path line. I've tried every option while creating the array with no luck.

AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Change Number Of Treads Using Stair Command

Oct 24, 2012

It seems to be set at 17 but I can't find a way to change it.

Autocad help is not useful at all as it says change the field to a user defined one, whilst not actually telling you how to do that.

AutoCad 2D :: Use Path Array Feature On 2013 To Array Stairs

Sep 19, 2012

I'm trying to use the PATH array feature on 2013 to array stairs, and I can't get the array to be 100% accurate. It seems like CAD rounds the decimal to the nearest 3/4" which could be causing the problem.

I set my run to 10.5" and rise to 7.25", array along the angle of the stringer, and there's always a small overlap on the stairs. The "distance between" should be 1'-209/256" and CAD rounds it to 1'-3/4" which is where I believe the error is. Is there any way to fix this or array this correctly? Otherwise...back to the COPY method I suppose.

AutoCad :: Make Dimensions Stay Associative In All Drawings?

AutoCad :: Path Array Using An Ellipse

Sep 18, 2011

I would like to arrange equally spaced circles around an ellipse. I understand I can do this with the Divide command, as referenced in a previous thread on a similar subject

[URL].......

But I thought I could also use the Path Array command using an ellipse as the path.

What I get is the replicated objects (small circles) following some totally random path. Strange that this happens only with an ellipse - seems to work OK if the path is a circle or spline.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Set Associative Dimensions To Be Non-associative?

Aug 20, 2009

Is there a way to set associative dimensions to be non-associative without exploding them?

I have a large drawing with a bucket load of dimensions. I did not realise until too late that my dimensions styles were set to be associative by default. Now whenever I alter the drawing such as breaking a polyline that a dimension is associated to the dimension sometimes goes haywire. If I select affected dimensions I can see in the properties window that the dimension is associative but the field is greyed out and I can't alter it.

Is there a global or per-object way to change this association? Exploding is not an option.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Path Array For Slope Labels?

Apr 4, 2012

I have a polyline defining a proposd wind farm access track and I have offset it 10m each side. I have then dreated a slope label between the southernmost end points which gives the existing ground slope at right angles to the centreline. I created the Array (as shown in arrayed.jpg) and it looked good but after hitting enter there were only three labels (after enter.jpg)

I did a rectangular array of slope labels with no problem at all so what's wrong with the way I'm doing the path??

AutoCAD 2013 :: Object Rotate And Spacing In Path Array

Dec 11, 2012

I have a polyline path and a rhombus. I will like to array the rhombus along the polyline path. As you can see from the attached file, as the object rotates along the path, it shift off the path such that the distance between the rhombus and the path changes esp at the turn. How can I keep this distance between the rhombus object and the path constant?

AutoCad :: Associative Leaders Becoming Non-associative?

Jul 20, 2012

We have been having a problem with our leaders for the last few weeks. We are running Acad2009LT and Acad2009 full versions. Our leaders are becoming non-associative. I made a drawing yesterday and was the only one editing the drawing. I made some leaders with text. I know they were working fine because I had to move some text and the leaders went with it. This morning when I opened the drawing. Some, not all, of the leaders that I made yesterday have become non-associative. I made some new leaders and they are working properly. Other people in the office have been having the same issue. Nothing has changed on our systems. We have been using the same program since 2009.

After Effects :: How To Animate Tank Treads In 2D Picture

Feb 3, 2014

I have a .psd picture of a tank and try to animate it in AE by rotating its wheels and tread (or track?). The only solution i have come up with is to slightly change tread layer's x and y positions in every frame, making it to vibrate. However it does not create rotation illusion which i'm after - the tread vibrates, but doeas not revolves around the wheels. If there are other solutions to make tread layer rotate around tank's wheels, i would be glad to hear about them. All 7 tank's wheels are separate layers and the tread layer is above them. The rest of the tank's layer is above tread layer

GIMP :: Using Tile To Make Array Then Displays Incorrectly In Weebly

Aug 31, 2012

I've been using Tile to create an array from a jpeg image to use as a background for a website I'm building using Weebly. The original images display fine in Weebly, and when I use Tile to create the array the resulting image looks flawless in GIMP and in the picture viewer on my desktop. However, when the image is uploaded to Weebly it displays as though the original layer has been duplicated in GIMP and tiled manually and badly, i.e. leaving white space along edges, incorrect alignment of tiles.
