AutoCad 2D :: Moving Polyline Stretches The Other One
Dec 12, 2012I've got two polyline rectangles next to another. When I move the other one, the next one stretches with the one that is moved and that is not what I want.

View 5 RepliesI have encountered a strange symbol that affects lines:
2 little blue boxes. What happens when i see these symbols, If I move a line and it's connected to other lines it will latch onto them and effectively drag them. I don't want it to do this, I don't know what to search for, spent a few days trying to find what it is because it nearly ruined a whole development!

How to make a dynamic block of a callout stretch as text is inputed?
For Example:
(TEXT)
(THIS IS MORE TEXT)
(THIS IS EVEN MORE TEXT)
I will attach a dwg of the callout.
I am trying to create a window block that stretches both mullions horizontally and vertically. I figured out how to get both to stretch horizontally but when I try to stretch vertically I get a really funky skew thing happening.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a dynamic block that stretches between a minimum and maximum height. The block I'm trying to create is an "Acrow Prop" which has a height that ranges between 1050-1830mm. Is there any way to set a function that will stop stretching out side of these figures?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI clicked something by accident in CS4 and now the canvas stretches all the way to the right, with a couple of panels floating over the upper right part of the expanded canvas, with right scroll bar obscured by those floating panels. I want it back to what I believe is default, with the panels in their own static section on the right, separate from the canvas.Where is "reset" or something else to restore?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently placed text on an arc in Photoshop and found that it appears to stretch the text as well. I placed the same text on a circle in Illustrator and then placed it on top of the text in Photoshop. When the two lines of text were then made to have letters of the same height, the letters were not the same width (Photoshop letters were wider). Illustrator appears to maintain the aspect ratio of each letter when placing text on a curve while Photoshop does not.
Is this known to happen? Is there a way to place text on an arc in Photoshop that does not distort/deform the letters of the text in any way other than to place them on an arc?
Is there a way, when you are drawing a polyline, to have the tooltip box show the cumulative length of the polyline, rather than the length of the current segment being drawn?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDue to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:
- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties
- convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object
- method -> fit from properties
You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.
I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?
Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.
However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.
how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.
I've been working on a custom polyline object, and I've got it functioning!!Having said that, I plan to run its creation around picking a point for bounary selection.
(Other than trying to step through every vertecies) is there a technique I can thow the polyline data from a traceboundary result into my custom object? I've been trying to add the polyline from traceboundary to my object BEFORE it's added to the transaction by the way...I assume that's right, since I want to put it's data in my custom object then add my custom object to the transaction instead.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way at all to draw a new polyline - from the endpoint of another polyline, and have it automatically join as one polyline from the existing section??
I know this can be done via PEDIT, but its so laborious and soo many clicks, and I have alot of segmented Polylines that I need to consolidate when I draft.
I want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."
Any way I can align a new polyline to a reference polyline (orig polyline).
The 2 polys will be generally the same length, however, the number of vertices will differ.
Also I need to mantain the same distance between the vertices on the new poly and the new and reference poly won't follow the same direction.
How do you find 'if' a polyline is inside another polyline?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI can do this in AutoCAD Map but I have my doubts. I will explain in ESRI GIS terms (this is what I am familiar with) and I hope you can tell me if I can do this in AutoCAD Map. In ESRI ArcMap I can select a line and I can hit a Select by Location button. In this window I can select all of the objects that intersect my selected line. Then I can delete them or export them etc.
In AutoCAD Map I have a polyline selected. It is my road centerline. I want to be able to select all of the other polylines that intersect my selected polyline. Is there a way to do this? I need to erase those polylines. Usually I will pan to each of them and select them individually. It just seems to take a lot of time. My AutoCAD co-worker said I could use a fence and draw the fence through my polylines. It seemed to work ok but I accidently deleted extra things that I needed. So I'm back to manually selecting each one by one unless you know a different way.

The points are not lined up with any standard axes, but do have a common plane. I would like to create a polyline using the points above. I have tryed playing with 'polyline3d' and 'transformBy' but could not get it to work.
The 3d poly would be in an xref, and for my purposes i don't need it to be a 3d poly. Can this type of object be cloned? Or would it be better to collect the vertex points and create a 2d poly on top of it?

Because of all the grips my whole drawing is very slow and when i want to hatch the polyline and trim in it it takes minutes to load.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the distance of multiple block insertions that fall along a polyline to the startpoint/endpoint of said polyline.I can do this pretty easily using straight line (as the crow flies) distances between the block insertion and the polyline startpoint/endpoint, but I need the code to actually follow the polyline whenever it changes angle.
Is this possible using .NET? How to start it?Below is my code to to get the straight line distance between the polyline startpoint and block insertion point:
