AutoCad 3D :: Auto Generate Box To Cover Item Of Variable Dimensions

Apr 29, 2012

I am working for a company right now and we design cases. The design process involves creating a rectangle of length and width, extruding it to height and than building a case around it. the sides are 20mm offset from the item itself and the top and bottom are 27mm offset from the item itself.

Is there any way I can avoid having to repeat what im doing over and over every time i create a case. We also have standard latches and handles. The top is also standard being 60mm panel height. There is also standard for spacing between the top panels and bottom panels to allow for tongue and groove.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Auto Generate ID For New Features

Jan 7, 2014

When I create a new feature for a feature class in Map, it pops up the Data Table so I can enter my information. The table is a SQL table connected via FDO. There is an ID field set as the primary key. Map wants me to manually enter in the ID. How do you auto generate this field?

AutoCAD LT :: Auto Publish Does Not Generate Anything?

Jul 24, 2012

I am wanting to set up my cad so that when I save a file,  a *.pdf file (with the same name as the saved *.dwg file) is automatically generated and dropped in a specific folder.  I think that the auto publish should do this for me, but have been unable to get it to generate anything.  When I hit save it is prompting me to do the publish, then after I say yes, it shows a brief status bar as if it is working, but when I try to go to the folder to which the publish option is mapped it is still empty.

AutoCAD LT :: Auto Updating Dimensions In Viewports

Aug 13, 2012

recently switched over to AutoCAD 2013 from 2012. A time svae feature I used extensively in 2012 was the auto update feature for dimensions. My workflow is to set up a base plan then xRef that plan to my various sheets where needed in viewport in paperspace. If I set my DIMASSOOC to (2) and then dimension in paperspace I was able to auto update the dimensions with any changes by simply double clicking in the viewport window then switching back to paperspace. I have spent some time researching this feature today without any answers. Would this be just a bug in the new version or is it a feature that has been disabled?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Auto Layering And Dimensions In 2013

Jun 27, 2012

I'm using Auto Architecture 2013 and the dimensions are always coming in on layer A-Anno-Dims; which is fine for plans.  I also use dimensions for reflected ceiling plans as wells as other plan options.  I want to set the dimension on the current layer, but no matter where I choose the command (ie command line, ribbon, toolbar, tool palette) it comes in on the same layer.  Can I turn this option off?  Is there a variable that I can chage?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Auto-reattach Dimensions Programmatically?

Mar 1, 2012

Is it possible to auto-reattach dimensions programmatically?

I have an assembly that I'm suppressing/unsuppressing parts in and my drawing dimensions keep getting orphaned. I discovered the "Preserve Orphaned Annotations" option, which keeps them from disappearing on me. I can then reattach the dimensions via the design doctor, but who wants to click the doctor 6 times for 20+ dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart Workflow And Vault - Generate All Or Generate Only New

Sep 4, 2012

We are using iPart - iAssembly workflow with Inv-2013 and  Vault Basic 2013

My question is related to released state of iparts. Currently we are generating/ releasing

all the iparts when new member is added in order to manintain the parent child version relationship

Example  : say i have a ipart 41020.ipt and i have members 41020- 001 ~ 008 . I check out the parent

from Vault and add 009 member to it.

Question :

Do I have to generate all and check those in to maintain the version relationship between the child and parent inside

Vault 2013 ?
 Or
Only generating 009 will maintain version relationship inside Vault 2013

GIMP :: Unbound Variable Error With No Variable?

Nov 5, 2013

I'm attempting to write a batch script to add some layers to a pre-existing image and save a copy. I've gone through the tutorial, and have run the demo code from Basic_Batch with no errors, but my (what I think of as simple) script throws an "Error: eval: unbound variable: ?" It also seems to cascade the error to other scripts, as I then get "unmatched parentheses: 2" errors from what I assume to be the script immediately following my own during Script-Fu load. This occurs whether running from batch or clicking "Refresh Scripts" from the Script-Fu menu.

What I could find on this forum and Google suggests that I may be required to 'define' one or more of my variables before using it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out which one that would be, and the error (reporting that '?' is undefined!?) I've quintuply (probably more ~_^) checked my parenthesis matching, but they look fine to me.

In case this was an encoding issue, I've tried saving my .scm file as both UTF-8 and ANSI. I should also note that I'm running Windows 7 x64 in English-US.

Script:

(define (script-fu-build-imagebasefilemytext)(let*((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE basefile basefile)))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))(title (car (gimp-text-layer-new image mytext "Courier" 18 UNIT-POINT))))(gimp-image-add-layer image title -1)(gimp-image-clean-all image)(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "K:\\Images\\Temp.gif" "Temp.gif")));

Since I intend for this script to only be run from batch, I haven't bothered including the typical register stuff.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserted Hole Dimensions Not Matching Feature Dimensions

Mar 16, 2012

I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.

I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole

Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.

How do I get the 1/4" to show?  I have selected the feature and still get these results.

Photoshop :: Use Of Auto Color And Auto Levels - Get Shadow / Highlight?

Jul 8, 2013

I was using these tool on a lot of images, because they often seemed to vastly improve them, making the colors pop on otherwise somewhat dull ones, and getting rid of unwanted color casts..

Later though I noticed that it is often at the cost of burning out hightlights in some areas beyond salvation.I also find shadow /highlight sometimes does this also.

Then I tried to protect some small areas with a mask before proceeding, but it seems that I can't find information on just painting a mask, but only videos with much more complex adjustment such as the Russel Crow or Lynda ones with maintaing hair detail while superimposing images, which is way beyond what I need in these cases.
 
If I try the wand to select and inverse I get unnatural looking divisions.  Is it a matter of feathering to the right extent?

Photoshop :: Control Auto-Align And Auto-Blend

Aug 3, 2007

I have just moved from 7.0 to CS3 (and PC to Mac) and am currently trying to get to grips with the new features! Once which I love is the auto-align and auto-blend feature(s). My question is, is there any way to control how these features work? I have seen on some web sites people talk about 'fuzziness' sliders where you can control that if an object (pixels) appear in X% of the photos they should/shouldn't be included in the final image but I cannot find these.

My intention is to use these features to take photos of monuments and have the people who are moving about removed from the final image (I guess it's the auto-align that would do this.) I tried a test and took a number of photos at home but I kept moving one object around (a pen.) The pen appears in all the images but in a different location so it always appears in the final image. When I tried auto-align with a stack that included one image without the pen, the pen was removed from the final image. Given the first scenario (i.e. the object is in all the images but in a different location) is there any way of automatically removing it using auto-align or would this have to be a manual process? In the real world, it would be possible to take a photo of a monument with people in different locations but it would be much harder (or take a long time) to take one where at least one person was not in all the photos (there's always someone loitering.)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Minimum Pipe Cover

Mar 25, 2013

I am using a Pipe Network for all my drainage culverts on a large industrial site.  I have created all my pipes from "Create Pipes from Object", which were all feature lines.  While generating the pipes, I told it to use the object as my pipe invert.

I have set up my pipe rules (i.e. minimum/maximum slope and cover) to what I want.  Also when creating my pipes I assigned my design (top of sub grade) surface to them.  But I noticed that it's calculating my pipe cover from the middle of my pipes.

My pipes all have the right wall thickness, etc...set in the style.  Is there a setting I'm missing telling the pipe to calculate it from the top of the pipe...instead of the middle of the pipe?

AutoCad :: Make Drawing For Cover Of Control Box For New CNC

Apr 25, 2012

I would like to make a drawing for the cover of the control box for my new CNC. The cover will be 4”x 16” x 1/8” thick Aluminum and will have holes for 8 switches, with letters for the function of each switch, plus 4 mounting holes 1/8” diameter in the corners.

My problem is how to establish the center lines for the switches and the mounting holes. So I draw a rectangle 4”x 16” and then if I want my switches to be 1” above the bottom edge of the cover how do I establish a center line to have all switches lined up?

The same for the mounting holes in the 4 corners. How do I establish the center lines if I want to have each hole 1/2" away from each corner?

How to write the letters for each switch? I was thinking to draw a rectangle above each switch and center the description inside each rectangle. Is this the best way?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Revit Structure For Cut And Cover Tunnel

Jul 6, 2013

We are currently designing a Highways project which includes a cut and cover Tunnel (dual 3 lane through goes underneath a signalized at grade junction). Navisworks will be used for clash detection of all disciplines. To clarify the cut and cover structure will be similar to a large box culvert. Although new to the software; the Highways team will be undertaking the Civil Highways design in Civil 3D.

My question is - what is the best Autodesk solution for the structure and associated retaining walls? Note at this stage we are unsure what all of the design components will be (e.g. pump room for drainage etc). Previously the Structures team would have produced a 2D design (however 3D modeling is a requirement).

I have seen on the internet Civil 3D and Revit Structures being used interactively (although it appeared to be incorporating bridges only). Is Civil 3D able to affectively model this structure and retaining walls within the subassembly composer? Or is the question more to do with how the Structures team will complete their design (i.e. reinforcement detailing / scheduling etc).

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Model Flexible Safety Cover

Oct 2, 2012

The company I work for manufactures safety covers of all types. Some are pretty easy to model. The ones made from folded fabric,....not so much. 

I have taken a couple of photos and uploaded them so that you could see what I'm trying to model.

As you can see from the photo, it's an accordion like cover that is "U-Shaped". You would install this over a linear rail and have one end anchored to the frame and one end anchored to the carriage. So it would collapse and expand as the carriage moves back and forth.

We call the convolutions "vees" (obviously because they look like the letter V). When you compress the cover the Vee Depth increases. And when you expand the cover it will decrease. The folded section at the ends, at the small "legs" is where I have the difficulty. It's sort of hard to explain. That's why I uploaded the photos.

I'd like to be able to make a single "Vee", and have it have adjustable constraints so that I can expand or contract the cover by adjusting one number.
