How do I go about increasing the diameter to a degree symbol? Am using the ROMANS.SHX type of file, and when used the degree symbol is sort of miniature (looking and plotting) in comparision to the numeral next to it.
What number do I have to alter in the .SHX file to enlarge it then?
We are using Autocad 2012 & some of our users can not put Degree, Diameter, Plus/Minus Symbols in their drawings.%%P, %%D, %%C does not work in single line or M-Text. The symbols work In dimensions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I save an IDW as a PDF using the 'Save Copy As' function the spacing on the diameter logo for dimensions running up the page gets lost and makes it difficult to read and confusing. (see attached pic). I am not sure if it is a style thing, or a template issue, or just a general inventor fault.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe've been having trouble with all our IDW's, whenever we put a dimension or text with the diameter symbol it plots as 'Q'.
Even in print preview it still appears as the diameter symbol, although when actually printed, it comes out as 'Q'. To combat this in the meantime we have firstly been creating PDF's which display the correct diameter symbol and then printing.
i.e Ø30 on IDW prints as Q30 on paper.

How to treat reference diameter dimensions.
If I open up an session of AutoCAD, reference dimensions enclose the diameter symbol in the parenthesis.
Using Inventor, however, the diameter symbol is put outside the parenthesis.
Which is right? It seems silly to make extra work for the user for otherwise identical drawings.
I have a DWG that contains text in TAHOMA font. When I create a PDF using DWG to PDF, everything is plotted correctly, except for the text object containing a diameter symbol (%%c).
In the custom properties of the plotter configuration, I have checked the box to capture all fonts, so text in TAHOMA is also plotted. If the text object contains a diameter symbol, the entire text object is not plotted. If there is no diameter sign in the text object, everything works fine.
If I change the font to ARIAL, everything is plotted correctly, so I assume the problem lies in the TAHOMA font.
If I check the box to capture all fonts as geometry, the diameter symbols are plotted, but I do not want to capture my texts as geometries.
I don't know if it's a bug...
When using dual units on a drawing ( millimeters and inches for example) the symbol "diameter" is no reproduce in the second unit ... see pictures below!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI received a drawing from a client, which has all the features on a coordinate system, But the drawing is rotated for some reason. Even after rotating the drawing the coordinates are the same as it was prior to rotation. I believe there may be some variables that has been changed for this. If a line is drawn A@100<0 it is drawn vertical instead of horizontal and like wise @100<90 is drawn horizontal instead of vertical.
Attached is the drawing.
The attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.

a really simplen example would be several instances of the same button graphic but with different labels.
I know these things are possible in Fireworks, but couldn't find a way to make it happen in Illustrator.
Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.
Can I call a symbol from the symbol panel and place it on the stage?

I would like to know if it's possible to create an offset curve from another curve, but with an increasing distance, the result i want to achieve is shown in the picture. (the magenta line).
What was the command to increase the amount of viewports that were active in one paper space tab?
Currently hit the default limit.
what kind of curve is this (e.g. Bezier, B-spline, or NURBS) and how many degrees are this curve?

I'm using AutoCAD 2012 and I'm having a problem with 3D orbit. For some reason I can only rotate the view 180° along the X axis. Y and Z are fine, I can rotate a full 360°, but the X axis "bottoms out" if I try to rotate the view more than 180°. Is there something toggled that's causing this?

I have been revising some older blocks dating back to 2003 and earlier. What was a file size of 28KB increased to 127KB! In most cases the only change was converting text to an attribute. As a test I took a 2004 file and saved it - with no changes - to another name and the file size increased from 28KB to 124KB!!! That's an increase of over 4.4 times! Many of my 1998 - 2006 files are in the 26KB - 40KB range.
That's a bit much of an increase over several ACAD versions! Is there a way to reduce the file size? I did perform a complete Purge before saving. Have I missed some clever trick?
I am running ACAD Version 2014 with SP-1.
