AutoCad 2D :: Make Two Entries Into Table (one In Mm And One In Ft) From One Dimension?

Aug 15, 2012

I'm an architect and I'm drawing up a development of 80 houses and I need to provide a Sales Plan which includes the width and length of each rear garden in the development. Rather than show these as actual dimensions on the drawing (which will get messy and make the drawing look untidy due to the large amount of units) I plan to create a simple table with plot number and dimensions.

My plan is to dimension the gardens on a non-printable layer and to insert a field into a table to obtain the required dimension. I've done this for the first few houses but I have to insert one field and then select the dimension to get the "m" dimension and then repeat the process in order to get the "ft" dimension.

My question is is it possible to insert a field (or two separate fields) that will display the dimension once in m (ie 12.80m) and once in 'architectural dimension style' (ie. 41' - 7 1/4") by only clicking on the dimension once??

This will save a lot of time as this size of development is quite common for me.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Table Dimension

Apr 23, 2012

I have a drawing of a sheet metal part that I did late last year.  I used a Hole Table to dimension all the holes.

Fastforward to today.  I added two holes that are different in size than any other hole.  So when I opened the drawing it automatically added them to the Hole Table and gave them tag #'s in a new group and it kept the grouping in Alpha order.  A, B, C were there before and it added D.  Great, that's the way to do it.

Then I decided I needed to change the hole size.  The change would keep the size different than any other hole on the part still.  I go into the drawing and it change the size in the Table BUT, it also moved them up to the top of the list but kept the tag # as D*.

How do I get those two entries back to the bottom where they belong to keep them in order?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IAssembly Table Unwanted Dimension Added

Dec 23, 2013

what the best way to show 2 different subassemblies based on the same iAssembly... I would expect a "custom" option as there is from the content center. If I try and change the table for one, the other instance gets updated, and I would like it to stay the same. I understand that this would require a new "branch" in the BOM holding the different sized parts, but there must be a way to accommodate this?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Is It Possible To Make A Clickable Form / Table

Jan 2, 2014

I am seeking to simplify some of our drawings and want to make some forms or tables that has a click check or radio button.  Is this possible in any way using Autocad and/or using the Visual Basic and Visual LISP add ons?

If it is possible what I seek is something similar to what is shown in the attached picture.  Ideally I would be able to group the boxes together and set up something so it will only allow one of them to be checked, same thing for Mixed Occupancy, Construction Types, etc.  If that is not possible via any means at a minimum I would like to be able to just click on the box to check or uncheck it. 

If there is some way to make it as a block with attributes I can handle that as well.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Make Table From Lines And Text?

I have a Civil 3D AECC table that I want to use in Excel but these entities can't be copied and pasted. I have exploded it a few time to get simple lines and text and want to convert these into an AutoCAD table for export to Excel.

I have searched forums and have found a few lisp routines (e.g. maketable.lsp at [URL]) but they don't work.

AutoCad :: Make Radius Dimension Inside Of Arc

Sep 17, 2013

The standard in the industry I work in is the radius dimension goes on the inside of the arc. However, AutoCAD defaults the dimension to the outside of the arc. Is there a way to make it default to the inside? If not then this is the issue when I use the mirror command.

That arc appears and I cannot get rid of it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Make Attribute Block That Contains A Dimension

Mar 14, 2012

 How to make an attribute block that contains a dimension?

I’m wondering if there is a way to create an attribute block that contains the particular text and the value of the dimension length. More specifically, in the screenshot below in need to show the steel bars (as an attribute) along with the value of the dimension of the bar such that in case the block is stretched then the value of the dimension length changes. I think the block itself needs to be dynamic.

The issue here is having an attribute for the “steel bar type” and its length. The “steel bar type” must be editable while the length must be written automatically to reflect the length of the bar.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Make Dimension Style Current Like LAYMCUR Command

Jul 9, 2012

I am familiar with the LAYMCUR command to select an object and make that layer current. I am hoping there is a command to select text or a dimension and make that style current. I can't fine such a command. I have to select a text, see what style shows up in the box at top, go to the text style box, find the style and make it current. It seems like unneeded steps. It's simple for layers, why not text and dimensions?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Make Angular Dimension Show Zero Degree

Sep 5, 2013

I have a block of a guide sign with directions and azimuth angles. I made arrows rotatable and angles were changing ok. But when I try to rotate an arrow into zero position, dimension shows 180. I need the dimension to show 0 degree. How can I do it?

And I can’t make angular dimension show degrees greater than 180 even if I specify vertex – after rotation angle shifts on the other side. I gave up and used back azimuth. 

And I can't make an attachment: "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type"?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Make Dimension Get Bigger And Smaller As Scale Drawing?

Mar 20, 2012

How to make the dimension get bigger and smaller as we “scale” the drawing?

For example, the drawing in the screenshot below is scaled by 0.5 but that didn’t affect the “size” of the dimension (height of the text, extension lines, …).

Is there a way to get the dimension line affected as we scale the drawing such that the “dimension text” and the “extension line” are increased/ decreased with the scale factor?

Revit :: How To Make Dimension Text Smaller

I would like to make the dimension text smaller so that the information doesn't become so crowded. I notice that the dimensions are written like 12' - 10 3/4", with a space between the ' and the - and a space between the - and the 10, rather than 12'-10 3/4", like an old-fashioned person like me would write. Is there a way to control that? I looked into the dimension edit dialog box & couldn't see a way. AutoCAD writes them like I like.
