Ive recently designed a bracket, ive dimensioned it but i need it to fit onto an A4 template
If i scale it down to half, how do i keep the dimensions the same?
how do i insert a layout?
have i dimensioned it correctly?
I am using Autocad 2012, I made a drawing frame template up in model space, then saved it into the DWT template folder, when I go into Layout and into insert to insert the template it will not show up.
I reloaded the DWT template back into model space and saved it as a DXF and I am able to insert the dxf template in Layout using the insert Block.
I can get the job done by using the dxf template but I would like to be able to insert the DWT template.
I had inserted a block on my model page. I then wanted to insert it on my layout page where I wanted to have a legend. The block never showed up on the layout page and now it is not on my model page. When I attempt to insert it anywhere else now, the block does not show up in the preview window of the insert popup, nor on the drawing.

I have already searched the web and this newsgroup but have not found the solution.
I want to insert another drawing layout tabs contents in current drawing.
It's easy for MODEL tab, but for LAYOUT tabs, I dont know how!?
I prepared a code for INSERTING MODEL tab in current drawing:
(defun INS_DWG (TAB path dwg P / blk)(setq blk (strcat ""*" path dwg """));(setq N (vla-get-count (vla-get-layouts)));;Number of LAYOUT TABS in dwg(if (or(= TAB 0) (= TAB nil))(command "INSERT" blk P 1 0)); TAB=0 or omitted ==>Insert MODEL;(if (= TAB 1));==>Insert the 1st LAYOUT in dwg file;(if (= TAB 2));==>Insert the 2nd LAYOUT in dwg file;and so on....);;;usage:;;(INS_DWG 0 "c:\test\" "test.dwg" '(0 0))
I write a program, this program needs to insert some standard illustrations. I made these standard illustrations into different blocks. And I store these blocks in a dwg file. Everytime I need to insert some illustrations, I just click the mouse on the current drawing, I want the illustration inserted. These means the following points:
(1) Import the blocks to the current drawing, if the blocks have already been imported, then do nothing.
(2) Specify the insert point by clicking the mouse, and I want the block's insert point to coincide with the mouse clicking point.
I am trying to insert OS Tiles into a drawing using the insert x-ref command. I have managed to insert 192 tiles but still need to add 29 more tiles to complete. When I try to insert another x reference AutoCAD just goes into a continual loop. Have to force AutoCAD to crash after ten minutes.
I am using AutoCAD 2014 MAP and have just had a new system built (i5 processor, 8GB RAM).
I have a bit of a problem with Autocad map 3d 2012. When i try to insert a scale bar or a north arrow or any other carthographic element i simply can't find the layout elements that are supposed to be in layout tools tab. I've done a lot of research online and can't come up with anything.

I use illustrator for several things.So i really need to use shortcut's.But there is one big problem : I have the english version of illustrator and i have a German keyboard layout.An example :
To blank a shape u use '/' ( English Version )

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to insert a dwf file into a dwg file, so that I can do some work on the map, so that I can then print out the new data, overlaid on the older, dwf data.
I am aware that I'd not be changing the contents of the dwf file.
My problem: AutoCAD Map keeps crashing when I zoom out to include the dwf file in my field of view, or when I zoom in to begin my work.
This is not one or 2, or even 5 crashes. I'm up to 15+ crashes now.
I've stripped all unnecessary components, turned on, unlocked, thawed all layers, removed all unneeded items. I've run purge, audit, recover, saved for each event, so as to not lose the data once the crash occurs.
My last attempt was to take a brand new map, with no data at all, and then attach the dwf file. Once I'd done that, saved the attach operation, I went to zoom to extents so I could begin the work, and-- you guessed it-- Map3D crashed!
I've filled out more error reports than my colleague who uses ArcGIS by ESRI, and they're constantly crashing.
While the dwf file was originally located on another server, due to a sufficient number of crashes yesterday afternoon, I decided to copy the file to the same file location as the dwg map so to reduce the possibility of restrictions on the server that AutoCAD would not cope with.
I simply want to do some overlay work-- which at this point will consist of just copy/pasting data-- to the dwf map file.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCAD LT 2013 to create figures (drawings) to be published. So I need the text within my figures to adhear to our publishing conventions. This means I need to be able to insert an 'en dash' (a dash that is slightly longer than a hyphen).
En dash (–)
Hyphen (-)
Draw text box, click on symbol option, select 'other' and insert through the character map.However it still only inserts a hyphen.
how to actually make this work, it is quite a large stumbling block and will create a huge amount of extra work if I am unable to do this in AutoCAD. It seems like a very basic text requirement.

We face a serious problem: when we insert jpg-images by reading their associated jgw world file the images are positioned in a different way (starting point, rotation) then when we do this by using ArcGIS or GDAL-software. We use RasterDesign 2011 on Acad Map 3D 2011.
The jgw-file looks like this:
0.116411954910561
0.0788005361703199
0.138141909607477
-0.146095373532603
30912.0675618482
390387.121812212
So we have following questions:
Is it possible that AcadMap/rasterDesign handles a jgw-file different when it is made by other software (you would assume standardization)?
Would a rectangular pixel-size have influence?

View 2 Replies View Relatedis there a way to insert a block in the drawing, but with a different name, so it can be edited separately?
I have block A in the drawing and i want to insert it again, but then edit it while the ones already inserted stay unchanged. So i would need it to be inserted as A_1.
I defined a 3d block..It is defined along X axis...I want to insert it into a ucs by picking 2 points( insertion, and direction) and that Block Z axis to be parallel with UCS z axis
I insert the block first then I rotated it..I have got this
P1 is insertion poit
P2 is the point for direction
P1 world is p1.transformby(current ucs)
Dim Xax_block As Vector3d = Block1.BlockTransform.CoordinateSystem3d.Xaxis.TransformBy(Block1.BlockTransform)
Dim VectorP12 As Vector3d = P1_world.GetVectorTo(P2_world)
Dim RotAX As Vector3d = Xax_block.CrossProduct(VectorP12) ' here is calculating the perpendicular vector between x axis of the block and the vector from point1 and point2
Dim Rotation1 As Double = Xax_block.GetAngleTo(VectorP12)
Block1.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Rotation(Rotation1, RotAX, P1_world))
By picking 2 points is inserting the block along the line between 2 points...But is not having as normal the z axis of the ucs..
