AutoCad 3D :: 3DMIRROR Command To Mirror Magenta Box Along Zx Plane Defined By Middle Of Steel T-angle
Nov 13, 2013
Why can't I get the "3DMIRROR" command to mirror the magenta box along a zx-plane defined by the middle of the steel T-angle?
First, I use the ZX option, and after that fails to work, I try the 3-point option using a picked first point and two ortho-points to define a zx-plane.
Also, there's some randomness in the sense that some of the time the exact same series of steps will produce the correct result, but not this time, as the video below shows.

I'm also attaching the drawing in AutoCAD2010 format.

VBA routine that will allow you to select a work plane in the browser and find all sketches that are defined by it. We do extensive skeletal modelling and our master parts consist of many sketches and sketch planes
Note, I am aware of the VBA routine that allows you to select a sketch and highlight the plane or surface that it is made off of.

create a plane and mirror a solid?
I am planning to have the following workflow:
Plane creation:
Through the z-axis and at an angle of 7,5° to the XZ-Plane
Naming the plane - Mirror Plane
Turning off the plane visibility
Mirror solid:
Add mirrored solid to the existing solid
Here is a sample ao the code...
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oCol As ObjectCollection
oCol = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
'This does not work...
oCol.Add(oDoc.ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies(1))
'Here I want to create a new plane
Dim oPlane As WorkPlane
oPlane = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.WorkPlanes(1)
Dim oMirror As MirrorFeature
oMirror = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.MirrorFeatures.Add(oCol, oPlane, False, kOptimizedCompute)
I have also attached a simplified part file where the code has been copied inti the iLogic browser

Is there any way to dimension my features, whether it's a sketch or using the hole feature, to either the middle of my part or to a middle plane I have?
I am wanting a group of tapped holes to be the same from the middle of my part, regardless of what the overall size of the part is. How can I dimension like this?

I am tying to create a Dynamic Block of a steel angle of multiple sizes and thickness. I used Dynamic Blocks before and live the idea of changing sizes on the fly with out having to delete and recreate an object.. I got as far as creating an angle of different sizes, i.e.. 4x4, 5x5, etc. and different thickness but can't get the thickness to work with the radius of the angle.

I have a cube and I want to create a section plane that goes trough the middle of 3 edges that have a common point. After this I should be able to erase the smaller solid and keep the bigger one. If needed I will attach an image to be better understood.

So I've done a lot of searching this morning on "angles", and I couldn't find anything for getting the "out-of-plane" angle.
I'd like the user to pick two points, and return somehow the angle out of plane.

I am trying to create two plane's one after the other like it is done in this video tutorial.
[URL]........
My problem begins with me only having 1 point on the part to pick for my 3 point plane command. In the video there is no bit where you are supposed to create a point but I'm thinking I wont be able to duplicate without doing something like that.

I use often the Mirror command and I want to optimize that. To end the Mirror command,you have to choose if you want to erase the source objects.
Usually,I don't want to erase the source objects so,this dialog it seems to be useless. What is the macro command that disable this dialog?

1. How do I make the angle of the Gizmo appear when I'm rotating the gizmo plane with 'e'?
2. Also, how do I rotate the gizmo itself, so that i can rotate it in any ambiguous axis as well if I wanted to.
For example, let's say I'm slicing a hollowed box usnig Shell modifier. I want to cut the box diagonally. I make the slicing plane vertical using x rotatin axis (red) at perfect 90 degrees (this is why I want to see the angle displacement when rotating a gizmo), then becaue I want to cut it vertically, I rotate the plane on z rotation axis (blue) 45 degrees. Now, I want this cut to be slanted. That means I have to change BOTH x and y axis with equal amount to achieve symmetrical cut I want. ("5 snaps of rotating the slicing plane on x axis and y axis" something like this)
What I want is change the orientation of the gizmo itself so that x or y rotation axis becomes the angle I want the box cut to be slanted at.
3. I've been using 3ds max for rendering most of the time, and didn't really have time to ask myself, why is it such a pain in the a** to get the correct effect I want from max? Viewport and renderd product doesn't match at all for me. Rendering should be just a way of making the viewport image much prettier, not turning garbage into an artwork. Because of the difference between the viewport and renderd image, I constantly have to do test render at 320x240 to see how it looks.
When I say the two doesn't match, it includes but not limited to:
-Lighting Both daylighting system and artificial lights(photometric/standard)
-Intensity
-Shadow casting accuracy
-Material
Scale mismatch of rendering and viewport.
-Color
-I'm guessing it may be because of the lighting that the colors are very off.
-Unexpected glow on my model from other surrounding objects.
Sketchup or Rhino shows vaguely how it's going to look when it's rendered, just poor quality. Why is it so not intuitive in max?

I have an ipart I'd like to create w/ surfaces. The surface color is important because we use that as plate thickness ID in FEA. When I color a surface blue, then another red I continually get the default color when using the mirror or array command. We're creating a customizeable ipart where there will be some intelligence surrounding how big the array (we may need 3, 4, or 5 beams based on the unit size). I need a way that the colors on the surface propogate to the new surfaces created by the commands.

I'm trying to change the dafault varible for the mirror command from no to yes. whne you do the mirror command after you choose your second point it asks if you want to erase the source object and the default is set to no but I would like to change it to yes. I'm able to change the macro for the mirror button which works but only when I push the button. Before the cui file I remember everything was done from the acad.pgp or the acad.mnu files but with the new CUI file i can't seem to locate wher to change the actual command and not just the macro for the mirror button.

When I use the command MIRROR to create a symmetric component from existing ipt there are two problems:
1. in the existing ipt dwg the dimensions were lost, when I update the dwg;
2. in the iam that contains the mirrored component the constraints were lost, when I update the dwg.

I am getting these white "ghost" boxes with every copy, move or mirror command. They can be individually deleted but that takes too long. The more there are the slower each command takes, to the point a copy can take over a minute. If I save and close then when I reopen they are gone -- until I execute a command. This is unique to a single file I recieved from a friend using a PC based Autocad; I use Autocad for Mac. I had no trouble with his file until I did a "Save As" and used it as a base for a new file. Now, every file that is a copy of it, even any file in which I x-ref it, has the same problem. All of my original, older files are fine. There is simply too much work in these (now) five files to start over. See attached.

still on this family quality control audit... i've come across some new and entertaining behavior.
several fmailies (face based) flip host sides with their flip controls as expected, but if i mirror them , instead of flipping along the mirror line as an accurate reflection, they ALSO flip top to bottom, AND around the face.
the right family in both views is the original, the left is the new mirror. (plan and elevation views in wire frame included) you can see it landed within the wall, and upsidedown.

I am trying to constrain a point on a sketch to the intersection of an axis with my sketch plane... and I'm having some trouble. I can't select the axis when I select the "Project Cut Edges" and the "Project Geometry" is of no use because the axis is not normal to my sketch plane.
I'm trying to cut holes normal to my sketch plane on a curved surface using points projected from an overhead sketch.

Success using AutoCAD's CHAMFER>ANGLE command to chamfer in 3D? Distance/Distance works fine, but I haven't yet figured out how to use the chamfer tool to put a 30 degree chamfer on a cylinder (or any angle for that matter) by specifying a distance and an angle. Seems like it should be simple, but I always give up and end up creating the tapered edge by revolving a polyline that already has the chamfer, or using the TAPER>FACES tool.
