AutoCad 2D :: Difference Between Multiple And Single Line?

Feb 12, 2013

except for the quantity of the line . the case is I was taught to make a title block tempelate. For each single item, like text"STUDENTS NAME " or "PART NMAE" , and inluding the attributes, I was instructed to use single line text instead of mutliple line. I was told that single line won't change. What does it mean it won't change?

I feel that single line is more precisely controlled ,while the multiple line text is more ofen used in puting the notes in a drawing. But in what case use what I am confuesd. Especailly when make the tible block, It seems to use the single line text is the unique way to make each feature in its status.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Multiple Attributes Mixed With Text In A Single Line

Jun 25, 2013

What do I need: In the example I will mark attributes with underlined text, and simple text with bold text

(Position)numberDiamdiam

Diam= diameter symbol

In the model space, I enter values:

Position = 3
number = 15
diam = 12

I need to get:

(3)15Diam12

instead of

(3       )15      Diam12

Is it possible to make an Attribute, take as a "Position X" value, the "Text alignment X" from a text ?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Change Multiple Lines Attribute To Single Line Attributes?

Jun 27, 2013

I have a block which includes some Multiple lines attributes.

Now I don't want them to be multiple lines any more.

How can I change them to single line attribute?

In the block editor, the "Multiple lines" in the properties palette is gray out. I have create single line attribute and replace the multiple line attributes one by one.

Why don't make the Multiple lines property editable? This problem is since Multiple line attribute first time introduced.

Interesting thing is single line attributes can easily changed to multiple line attributes through the properties palette!

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Convert Multi Line Attributes To Single Line

Jan 22, 2010

We are creating a new company title block for the use in Inventor 2010 and AutoCAd 2010. It has initially been generated in Inventor and exported to AutoCAD. My problem is that all attributes that came over are now setup as multiline attributes and I can't seem to change them to single line. Therefore you have to open the multiline editor separately for every single item to make changes in lieu of just 'tabbing' through the values in the Enhanced Attribute Editor. This adds time and frustration and seems to be intolerable for some of my colleagues.

Is there a way to change the attributes to a single line in AutoCAD I'm just not aware of? I tried to find different settings for the export from Inventor but the options seem to be very limited.

I could probably go over this and create separate AutoCad only titleblock and border but that would kind of defeat the purpose.

AutoCad 2D :: Convert Single Line Text To Multi-line

Mar 20, 2008

We have an employee in our office that is kind of old school in some ways. That person has a habit of exploding everything possible in a drawing. Most of us create notations using mtext so it's easy to edit and manipulate. Is there a way to convert the single line text back to multiline after it's exploded?

AutoCad :: Convert Multiple Single Text Objects Into Multiple Mtext Objects

Jul 3, 2013

I have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).

; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)

[Code]....

However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?

AutoCad 2D :: Add Single Line Text

Oct 31, 2012

How can I add single line text to my CAD drawing? I use DTEXT command, but there is no option to enter text height. CAD only asks me the rotation angle of text and then blinking cursor appears. If I type something, text gets so small it's almost invisible. Only option for me now is to scale but it takes too much time and too many clicks to get my text to wanted size. Why AutoCAD doesn't ask me for the height?

AutoCad :: Publishing Multiple Layouts Into Single PDF

Mar 18, 2013

I seem to be having an issue publishing multiple layouts into a single PDF.

All the layouts are setup to plot to 'Adobe PDF' and in the Publish options I have set 'Publish to: Plotter named in page setup' as well as 'Multi-sheet file'. When I click OK I'm prompted for the filename for each layout and have to save them as separate files.

The only time it does work is when I choose 'Publish to: PDF' which I guess uses AutoCAD's internal 'DWG to PDF' method. Is my preferred method an Adobe issue or is it fixable through AutoCAD?

AutoCad :: Single Plot To Multiple Pages

The drawing I just finished and need to plot is 19"L x 9-1/2"H. The printer I have here only does 8-1/2x11 sheets.
How do I plot this drawing on a 1:1 scale so it will print on multiple sheets of 8-1/2x11 to make the single complete drawing? I've tried changing the plot setting but guess I'm over my head.

In my title block I have a attribute with the name project_Number. Now what I want to do is the following. When I edit my block with the project number. The project number should automatically be added to a text box without me typing in the project number twice.

E.g.. This Drawing is part of the consulting services provided for Project[Project_Number] and may not be used or applied for any other purpose without prior consultation.

in other word the project number should be reference in the text box from the attribute.

AutoCAD .NET :: Combining Multiple Drawings Into Single Drawing

Jan 3, 2013

I'm fairly new to the AutoCAD API for .NET, and for the last month or so I've been googling about, looking for comprehensive documentation on the Autodesk API (their equivalent of man pages). I've yet to find anything that describes each method and class in the API.

My goal is this: I'm trying to figure out how to copy the contents of all drawings in the same directory into a single dwg file. What subsets of the AutoCAD API should I use to do so?

AutoCad 3D :: Multiple Layers Moved To A Single Layer?

Jul 6, 2011

I'm working on a drawing and I need to take multiple layers that I have drawn (which make up one unit) and basically merge them together so that I can replicate and move them about and place them where they need to go in the larger unit that they live in.

I tried playing with grouping in the Layers Manager, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. Not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, or if there is another way to go about this.

I'm attaching my CAD drawing so you can see what I'm up to. In this drawing, there are basically two groups of layers. Those that make up the Control Tower itself, and another group for what's called a Tajimi Rack. I need to have all the layers for the Tajimi Rack made as one so that I can move that object around without having to move the layers one at a time. (There is a lot more that needs to drawn into the Tajimi Rack, but once I know how to merge them all together, I'll be in a good position to carry forward.)

I also need to know how to then take that new Tajimi Rack layer and duplicate it (I'm looking to place about a dozen of the Tajimi Racks in the control tower.

FWIW, I'm a self taught CADer. By that I mean I have to use CAD in my job but it's always done in a 2D setting where I'm simply looking through roofs with other drawings laid under for rigging purposes. This drawing things in 3D concept is something I'm just making up as I go along. 5PTS Control Tower.dwg

AutoCad :: Plotting From Single Layout Into Multiple Files?

Dec 17, 2012

I have floorplans from a building with a total of 80 appartments. Now i want to plot PDFs in A3 format, each page with 1 appartment. That would be 80 pages/PDF-files.

The way i did it up to now was i have put all A3 pages in a single layout and used the Window-function in the Plot dialog to print each page individually, manually numbering the file-names, and combining files in Acrobat as needed.

But doing this for 80 pages is too much - especially because i will likely have to plot it more often in the future. As far as i can see, i could make 80 layouts and use the Publish function, make a sheet-list and plot that way.

I keep wondering - is there not a more efficient solution to this problem than creating 80 layouts? There must be a more intelligent solution to this. Whats the preferred way of doing this?

P.S. i use AutoCAD2007 and Acrobat for plotting.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Single Line Cuts Using Laser

Jan 8, 2014

I am working on a project where several holes in a sheet metal part will need to be cut as "knockouts". In previous years, either an engineer or the laser cutter programmer would set up the machine to partially cut a circle, but leave a gap to hold the knockout in place (basically a 340 degree arc).

Now that we are using Inventor, is there a way that we can create these features so that they show up in a dwg as a single line? It must be a single line; some of the holes are very small and if the laser makes more than one pass it could affect the integrity of the feature.

The closest I have gotten to accomplishing this is a surface extrusion on the folded part. When I send it to an .idw file, the line appears in the folded model, but I need it to appear in the flat pattern.

AutoCAD .NET :: Multiline Attributes Revert To Single Line

Nov 12, 2013

I am experiencing this issue every now and then and I don't know why or how it happens.  No modifications to the BlockDefinitions or any BlockReferences are made and for some magic all multiline attributes in the drawing file revert to single line.  After that happens the only way I know to fix them is to go through all definitions in the Block Attribute Manager and make every attribute multiline again.  This is very annoying because I don't know how it happens so it can be prevented and because it takes time to fix them again.  AutoCAD 2012 (Mechanical) on Windows 7 32 and 64 bits.
