how to draw a rectangle around the an object such as a spline or is there a way to find the edge of an object on the top bottom and sides, i know snapping to the object works but on complex objects you have to zoom in alot to find the farthest edge on an object, is there a command to find this
View 2 RepliesI have to make a piece of geometry that joins a rectangle peice of duct to a circular peice. It doesn't need to be hollow...the inside will never be seen.
I've tried a few things but modeling isnt my strong suit.

creating a rectangle around selected object or objects and set margins...
I have created a rectangle object with top right and bottom left corners set to 90px. I have an image that goes inside the box in the bottom left corner. The problem is I need the box to act as if it is using "Overflow Hidden" so I can position the image in the corner and have it partially "cut off" to fit the corner but It doesn't seem to be working when I set the overflow to hidden on the rectangle.
Also (part of my previous post earlier), is there a way to add/change the CSS code generated by Edge without messing anything up?I can write this in CSS and add it if I knew where and how (although I'd rather do it within the Edge interface).
I am no longer able to change size of an object as the size rectangle doesn't surround it anymore when i highlight it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 4 layers (background, layer1, layer2, layer3-text). They fill all 300 x 600 pixels that comprise the .psd/future image. What I want to do is use a rounded rectangle to encompass all of the other layers, so that the surrounding pixels (around the rounded rectangle) are transparent.
I want all of my current layers to be the content of a rounded rectangle.
I saw that the Rounded Rectangle properties were not available on the regular rectangle (to change corner radius).

I did as instructed and confirmed that I want to transform it to a mesh. But as I proceed and push the Smooth Object button, I receive the following message:
‘A smooth mesh cannot be created from at least one of the selected objects.
Smooth meshes can be created only from 3D solids, 3D surfaces, 3D faces, polygon meshes, polyface meshes, regions, and closed polylines.’
LSP routine or some easy way to take any given rectangle and divide it into "x" number of rectangles?
I can run a Macro to accomplish this, but ONLY if the rectangle is of the same dimensions as set up in the Macro.
What I am looking for is a LSP or something else that can take a rectangle of any dimension, "array" it into 64 rectangles, all having same dimensions, and said 64 rectangles making up the original, larger rectangle. The end product will resemble a grid of sorts, but I need each interior rectangle to be a closed polyline, rather than just splitting the large rectangle with gridlines.
I can do this manually using the array command for each one, but there are several hundred that need broken up, and no time to do it in.

I have to draw a rectangle using ObjectARX but the problem is that i cannot find a method for the task, I found all kind of other methods like Line, Circle, ..... I managed to do it like that:
Point3d pointA = new Point3d(20,20,0); Point3d pointB = new Point3d(40,20,0); Point3d pointC = new Point3d(20,10,0); Point3d pointD = new Point3d(40,10,0); Line line1 = new Line(pointA, pointB); Line line2 = new Line(pointA, pointC); Line line3 = new Line(pointB, pointD); Line line4 = new Line(pointC, pointD);
But I thnk there must be a way to do it more easily.
I am still new in ObjectARX.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing autocad 2008. I cant draw a rectangle using 2 points. I don't need a specific size just want to put a box around text. I used to pick a point and then pick point 2 to draw rectangle. On this computer when I use rectangle it ask for length and then width. Is there a system variable that won't let me put in p1 and drag to p2 to make a rectangle?

How can i get it to put that angle in there with out trial & error of drawing a 22" long line on a 45 degree angle and moving it till it fits properly, then trimming off the corners... I have tried all the different commands in chamfer, the best i can do is guess at the distance,which is a crap shoot to me.

View 9 Replies View RelatedJust downloaded autoCAD2012 and am going through some of the new features.
I drew an arc polyline and then drew a rectangle, I then moved the rectangle to sit on the line. Once I move it here it seems to stick to the arc line, so if i move the rectangle, where the line is hitting the shape drags along with it.
I would prefer it not to stick for the time being.
I am using Autocad 2007 and when I want to select something by outlining it, the area that I outline turns a green color. Is there a way to toggle this feature off so that it does not change color, as in v 2000? Incidentally, what is this feature called?

I have a rectangle that is 100 x 144 inches. I need to find out the longest rectangle that I can make from it.
So far, the longest and widest (widest?) that I've found is 147.75 x 30.9 inches. I must hold the 147.75 but I need it to be wider than 30.9 inches. What's the best way to do this?
Here's how I've been doing it:
I draw the block (100 x 144)
I make a circle with a radius of 147.75
I move the center of the circle in various places on the block and find the tangents of circle to block
I then make right angles and see what I've got
There must be a better way to do this.
I have a rather simple 3rd party custom object... I tried to get its bounding box but the coordinates that come back don't seem to relate at all to the object.

I extruded the leaf 1" first, then tried to copy it on a solid cylinder of a vase, but it didn't work!!! It seems to be simple, maybe not!
Is it possible to select an object for reading in an XRef?
PS I think it has something to do with Editor.SelectNestedEntity() but it is the end of a long day and I can't fathom it out
When I select an object and pan to make another selection the first object "deselects". The object(s) will stay selected until I pan and as soon as I start to pan the grips go away and the object(s) is deselected.

Let's say I have a rectangle and I want to fill a table inside of it.
The below is the code snippet I wrote.....
Table tb = new Table();tb.NumColumns = 5;tb.NumRows = 40;tb.SetRowHeight(C_height / 40);tb.SetColumnWidth(C_width / 5);tb.Position = new Point3d(ext.MaxPoint.X, total_MaxPoint.Y, 0);tb.Width = C_width;tb.Height = C_height;tb.SetTextHeight(C_height / 40, (int)RowType.DataRow);tb.HorizontalCellMargin = 0;tb.VerticalCellMargin = 0;btr.AppendEntity(tb);tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true);
Where C_width and C_height are the width and height of the rectangle respectively.
Then, I got the following
The red line is the specified rectangle. It seems like SetRowHeight and SetColumnWidth are not working.
FYI, the rectangle size is around width = 3.5m height = 5m.
I would like to draw a rectangle of a certain size (150 s.f.) then stretch it from a corner but have it automatically adjust to maintain the size desired. So I would start with a 10 x 15 shape, then have ability to stretch to 12.5' x ? and as I stretch say the 10' width toward 12.5' the other end of rectangle (15) reduces to 12.
