AutoCad 2D :: X That Look Like (but Do Not Act Like) Nodes All Over Drawing
Jul 15, 2012
I recently had to re-format the cpu and re-install acad. I'm working with XP Pro and acad 2006 and am now having the "fun" of trying to get acad back to the settings I am used to.
Everytime I work in a drawing, whether it be new or old, all these little x's show up on my screen. It looks like 3 nodes overlapping each other. if I zoom in or out and regen they move. a zoom extents does not include them in the drawing area. pdmode has no effect on them nor does blipmode. I can delete everything in the drawing, do a regenall and they are still there. the below link is a screen shot...

They are really anoying to look at and its been so long since I have had to configure acad I can not figure out what is doing this and how to stop it.
UPDATE- maybe just a coincidence but it seems they are being created when i copy something, maybe a temporary basepoint marker or something, but then they never disappear.

If I draw lines between nodes and then list the lines it gives me slope distances. how can I set it to draw 2D lines but still have 3D nodes? I want my points to display the correct elevation but when I draw lines connecting them I want the line to be 2D so when I list them I get the correct bearing and a horizontal distance.

is there any way of them staying where i originally placed them?

I am drawing golf course features and I need to reduce the number of nodes on an a line that has been offset from a splined polyline. I want to tweak the shape of the offset line but there are a trillion nodes which makes it impossible.

usually when I use the 'divide' command I can leave the nodes on the drawing as they are only dots which appear hidden within the line by the time I'm printing, but this system is set up to plonk huge great crosses on the drawing
I've tried the help menu and had a quick search on here but cannot find where to alter the settings for node appearance

I have created a report from a frame analysis of an arrangement of I-Beam steelwork. I need to check that I have placed the nodes in the right order and this is reflected in the results of the report. I have the parent and child nodes connected at the ends of the beams as shown on the attached screen shot. I'm interested to know if the order in which I have selected the nods makes any difference to the results. There a 3 node connection points at each corner section.

Is it possible to determine which nodes are expanded using the API?
I want to make some changes to the node information in an assembly browser but as there are many hundred parts so I only want to do the operation on the expanded nodes to keep any delay to a minimum.

I am trying to use the DIVIDE command but can't see the points (nodes) it creates after the command is complete. I have the OSNAP setting on to snap to nodes which I can't even see. The QSELECT command let me see that they are indeed in the drawing, and that is the only way I can select them.

Is there a special snap setting to snap to a point/node? I'm not talking about a endpoint or midpoint or anything like that. I mean a "node" that is set with the "POINT" command. I can't snap to any nodes I create.

Is the alpha sort function available trough API ? It's located in Assembly tab, Productivity tools. I'd like to use it in a custom program instead of asking my customer to click on the button.

how to create an iLogic rule that automatically renames the browser nodes based on part number. I know that this is a function in Inventor itself. The problem is that there is no built-in functionality to automatically change the default browser name to something besides part number. I've done a lot of digging and I came across the following code from an old thread discussing Inventor 2011. I am interested in 2013. It is also worth noting that when I run this code, my Inventor crashes.

I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and just installed HotFix 3 (so I should be all up to speed). I have created a water linetype (---W---) and telephone linetype (---T---). The problem I am having is the 'W' and 'T' seem to flip at some of the nodes based on if the Polyline is going up or down (from left to right). When it is going up it displays right side up...going down it displays upside down. They are one single polyline with nodes.
I have tried REVERSE, PEDIT then Reverse, my linetype definition is set to U=0.0, but nothing has worked. I have redrawn other polylines and they all have the same issue.
Attached is a PDF of the polylines.

difference (and the utility) for displaying a flooded (blue) and a surcharged (red) node? I assume that the surcharged (red) node is when water is bubbling out of the grate, what is the flooded node, and when would I want to check on the flooded nodes?

I have a 3 node Structural Member created that works... Now the next questions... Can you anchor columns at 3 column grid intersections... then draw this 3 node Structural Beam such that it will anchor also... so that... if you adjust the column grid... the columns and the 3 node structural member will adjust accordingly?

I have all my dimensions on a single layer but when that layer is turned off, the nodes for those dimensions still appear and are selectable. I looked through the system variables and couldn't find a setting that controls this. How can I prevent the display of the nodes?

Is there a way to rename browser nodes within a part in a similar way that the rename browser nodes tool works in assemblies? I am copying designs with derived parts, after copying the design I can see that the part files contain the correct links to other parts when I open the base component but they display as the old name in the browser which is not ideal.

What I am trying to do is importing a CorelDraw file into Inventor and extruding a few features. The point is to mimic a silkscreen file on metal work. My work process has been as such: create the file in CorelDraw and change all lines/shapes to curves. Save the complete CorelDraw as a dwg. Open the dwg in Inventor and copy and paste the sketch into a new part in Inventor. This process seems to work for simple parts. As soon as there is text and more complicated features there is alot of points which slows my computer down and makes it impossible to do anything. Any way to auto-reduce points in a sketch or have a better way of importing vector files into Inventor? I have tried importing the text as text instead of curves but it does not transfer correctly.

I have a block that contains attributes. When I select the block, you can see all the nodes/insert points from the attributes within the text. I was wondering if there is anyway to have the block only show the insertion point of the block and not the attributes? The attached image shows what I am talking about.

My surveyor gave me a topo survey done in no particular coordinate system. He set up his total station on a PK nail and gave it a coordiante of (5000, 5000, 100). I used this survey to generate a surface.
I also have a site survey of the same site, done in state plane coordinate system. the two surveys have mulitple common points; pk nails, iron pins ect.
What i need to do is move the points for the topo survey over to the survey that is in state plane. A simple move command will not do this.
How do i go about moving these points to thier correct location without having to manually edit the .txt file?

I have a master plan development that I am trying to model different wastewater flows scenerios for I am basically following this paper from AU 2011 [URL] but have a couple of issues I am trying to work around.
Basically I want to take a spreadsheet of flows determined for specific nodes and upload it into SSA quickly from the paper
I can see that you can write a shp file of the network and then add different flow scenerios to the .dbf file and them use the GIS import function of SSA to get the flows assigned in one hit.
The issue I have however is that my network is a prelimary design in Civil3d as pipes and structures and if I create a .sdf of the network and then.shps from that data I do not get the structure sump elevations, this is not something that created in the shp file export process,
To work around this I through maybe I could export the network from Cicil3d to SAA which gies me all the strucutres with the correct sump levels and then also create a .shp and .dbf file and add the flows and them do a GIS import of just the structures and merge them with the exisiting network as the structure names as exactly the same and therefore the gis import should find the correct structures.
However SSA does not and adds a second lot of nodes with the same structure name but with Junction in the front.

Looking for a way to add additional properties to the drop-down list in Rename Browser Nodes.
Standard List:
Filename
Part Number
Default
Additional properties would be a concatenation of native inventor properties:

I use this feature often, but I'm not sure I fully understand it, because I don't know what the number setting (1-100) refers to, and I can't find an explanation of it.
Usually I'll select all the nodes in an object and move the slider to the right until I can get as many nodes to disappear as it will let me. (I don't worry so much about distorting the object because I like to do the final shaping manually using as few nodes as possible...) and I find that at a certain point on the scale it won't reduce further, so at that point I remove the remaining unwanted nodes by hand.
My question is, does the 1-100 scale refer to the percentage of nodes that are removed, and what's the reason it won't go beyond a certain percentage?
Sometimes when I power trace a bitmap there are so many nodes that i spend too much time getting rid of them all...It would be nice if I could get the "reduce nodes" feature to remove more.
