How to represent a bottomless arch (arch span)? I can make a horizontal arch pipe, but I only need the top half. I also thought about building a corridor.
We do have a storm drain system running perpendicular above it and need to show the arch as a crossing. Corridor would work but I think I would prefer a pipe network-type solution.
when I start up AutoCAD I gat an error message:"Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.Invalid URI: THe format of the URI could not be determined."
I click continue and AutoCAD runs fine. Is there something that I can or shold do to prevent the error message?
I am evaluating volumes of concrete removed from a surface and the volumes of concrete poured to replace the demolished concrete.I have created surfaces for each stage of the process in individual drawings.
I have created a drawing for the section views and successfully created cross-sections showing all the surfaces.When I compute materials, determining cut material between 2 of the surfaces, the end area is not always determined at every station.
I have previously noticed end area "shapes" with breaks in them. Each time, this was because there was a void in the surface triangulation.Is there any way that I can interrogate a surface to check whether the triangulation is incomplete, with voids in it?
I posted last week and included the attached screen print showing incomplete triangulation which I only noticed by turning on the "Shades of Gray" visual style.There must be some way to check surfaces without having to use the memory gobbling visual style.
I am trying to draw an alignment for a road. I want the alignment to represent the outside of the curve as the road climbs up and around a mound. Is there not way to do this in Civil 3D?

and now I am thinking I will have to do this manually, extract contours, and trim/extend my way to victory...I really would like to have this in a dynamic situation so I can make adjustments. Also, it would be adventageous to have the line actually follow the grade so I dont have to add curves in etc later...
I bought Video Studio X5 about 6 months ago,Installed it, tried the feature I was interested (Video capture) and it failed. As I really didn't have the time to look deeper into that, I just put it on the side for later. I knew I would need it at a later timeNow, I need it.Of course, it didn't repair itself and failed again (When I launch vid capture it give me the now classic "prepare record failed #15" message and will not record).
Checked the website, there is one update, a service Pack 1. It fails to install "The version of the installation could not be determined"
I am trying to find out how the drafting pattern origin is determined in Revit 2013. A model pattern is very easy to adjust, but this is not true of a drafting patterns. How the drafting patterns even determine what their origin is. Is it centered on a project extents - therefore changing as the model expands, or is it set by a 0,0,0 origin similar to AutoCAD (but hidden). In an event it does not seem that this origin is adjustable (unless someone out there knows some Revit magic) so perhaps it does not matter, but I would like to know.
how is the import scale for a raster image determined?
I've different scanned sketches of floor plans drawn by hand to specific scales, the resize tool is not quite accurate enough for my use. Does the view scale have anything to do with it?
I am using AutoCAD MAP 3D 2013 32 bit version. In this, I can find connection with Arch GDB. But when I am going to connect it shows the error and the provided conection is for Arch GIS 9.3 only.
In most vector based programs I am used to using a function which allows you to paste a copied item to a specific location determined by a point-click. I find this endlessly more useful than pasting to the centre of the screen, or even paste in place, as both are rarely anywhere near where I would like an object to be. I find the function of point-click paste does away with endless dragging of objects across the screen.
What actually is the difference between the standard sheet eg ARCH D (36x24) and ARCH Expand D (36x24) sheet sizes? this have to do with printable margin areas?
I have dwg drawing sent to me with archstyle font or text. The archstyle is missing on my text format autocad 2012. How to downoad or import archstyle to my autocad 2012
I have a lisp program that creates a arch leader with a arrowhead on the end. All of a sudden the arrowhead does not appear on the end of the leader but out on space. Not sure what this is happening.
I'm having an issue where AutoCad Architecture 2011 is crashing on some but not all machines (4 total) when a file is closed.
We are also getting what appears to be random slow downs on files when opening and a jumpy mouse that makes drawing impossible. I have not been able to establish a pattern to point at specific files to being the problem as it happens across several the are fine one day, not fine the next and fine again a day later. All stations are identical.

I need to put a 42 x 29 Arch Pipe in my drawing. I found a 44 x 27 in the elliptical arch catalog. But I can't get it to let me create one that's 42 x 29.
And I'm also having trouble making a label for it. This is one of three culvert pipes in this network. The other two are round 36" CMP. The label for those says XX' of 36" POLY-COATED CMP @ x.xx%. Once I need the label for this third pipe to show as XX' of 42" x 29" ARCH PIPE @ x.xx%.
When I tried to make the label style, I saw "Pipe Inner Diameter or Width". But I didn't see one for height.
I have some foreign drawings the block definition of "_ArchTick" has been changed to get a thicker tick in drawing's dimension. When I have new dimestyle and copy paste into the foreign drawings, it always use the drawing's block setting of "_ArchTick".
How I can paste a new dimstyle and bring in the block of "_ArchTick" to overwrite the one in current drawing?
I had thought this would work with no problem. I know the elevation I need to start an arc at and an elevation at a point along the arc. I drew that portion of the arc and then extended the arc to a line where I need the arc to end. I had expected the arc to extend along it's current grade the way a straight Feature line would. But the end dropped to 0.
I undid the extension, listed the FL arc to get the grade, extended it again and used the Elevation Editor to set the previous grade. But why didn't the extension work? I checked for other FL in the site that might cause this but there were none.
When I am in page setup manager and want to use the "Adobe PDF" plotter device, I can't set a paper size other than the standard one like letter, legal, 11x17 ect. I need to have the "Adope PDF" plotter to print a Arch D size paper but that selection dosent even show up.
I have troubleshooted all the usual supects, of going to properties next to the printer selection bringing me to the plotter configeration page, where in the device and documents tab I then proceed to the custom properties selection, where the adobe document properties page comes up and under the adobe pdf setting tab...I still cant change or find the Arch D 24x36 paper size under the adobe pdf paper size selection tab other than the standard seletions.
Among about a dozen ACAD users in my office, one is missing the "Arch D (landscape)" paper size that accompanies the PC3 file we generally use. I have checked that the roll size and other settings in the machine in question and all of that looks good. I don't want to edit this PC3 as it works for everyone else and don't want to create a new PC3 for this one user.
a way (or filter) that will arch and image (say 9" wide x 4" high) like you can do with the arch type effect? The top and bottom would arch and the sides would flare out. The 3D distort filter doesn't do the trick without major playing and tweaking.
I need to construct an arch in revit but Ive only been able to make a curved beam in the wrong plane. Whats the best way to make an arch so that it would look like a straight beam in plan view?
It needs to connect to ground level in two places and have a specific height if thats relevant.
