I am facing the following problem:
I’ve got a 3D model with some blocks inserted. These blocks won’t show up in 2D or 3D sections or elevations.
When I leave only the blocks on and freeze the rest of the drawing, no section is created at all (“There are no solids or surfaces that can be projected”).
None of the geometry is on the Defpoint layer. The objects are printed and DO show up in the live section preview.
was setting up my printing sheets when i noticed my south and west elevations are showing up as sections. how to change back to elevation views.

I'm trying to set up a height label for sections and elevations. I then want to update it with a shortcut.
I already tried it with a field that shows me the y coordinates, but it won't show me the "+-"0.00 sign,when I put it to zero level. It only writes "0.00".
I want to create sections and plans showing interior finishes. As walls are all of the same structure I used the split face tool. When applying 'paint' to the face it only gives me the options of materials not fill patterns i.e. hatches. How do I get it to apply hatches or is there a visibility setting that i need to change.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do i get templates which I have created, to show on the sections, when the sample lines were not drawn perpendicular to the alignment.
I am getting the template to show only at those sections which are perpendicular to the alignment.
I have everything needed for plotting of cross sections. Alignment, profile, assembly.
The "Corridor Section Editor" shows everything as it should be. Existing Ground, Final Grade, Labeling, etc. When "Create Multiple Views" or "Create Section View" only existing Ground shows. All layers are on.
I have a corridor with two baselines, one on the south side of the road, and one on the north side. The south baseline appears correctly in the section view. It is an asphalt bike trail with a ditch to the left side. The north baseline was not appearing at all. The assembly was just a ditch with nothing else. I changed the north baseline to use the same assembly as the south to troubleshoot. The pavement comes in, but the ditch still does not appear.
I can see the ditch feature lines on my corridor (see attached), but they are not appearing in the section view.
i am designing a footpath. I have got my corridor and assemblies all right. but when i plot the cross section, the pavement thickness and hatch pattern is not showing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a Dynamic block for Circular Hollow Sections. So i have a block properties table with 3 columns.
SIze (description) | Outer Diameter | Thickness
i can add a diameter constraint to the OD no problem but how can i add a thickness constraint? i cant pick say a linear or horiz between the quadrants of each circle it does not let you.
Now clearly i could convert all my tabular data to Inner Diameter instead of Thickness but i was looking to see if there is a way i can do it like described?
Also - i think i could also do this with an equation in Parameters Manager but for some reason that does not open, every time i click it the dialog does not display nor does it show anything at command line, i know this means its maybe corrupt but i can afford the time to reinstall just now.
I have a problem with my tool palettes today. I've created some new blocks and saved them to our server, and i've then opened the design center and found the file location. I then click create tool palette of blocks. The palette displays but no blocks show on it, I've even tried dragging and dropping blocks to it but nothing shows.
I've downloaded the service pack and run a repair but still the same problem. My existing palettes have also had their block images turn into a white squares which need updating before I can see the image.
I changed the Tool Palette file location from where it was looking to a random file then it let me create palettes.
I'm following this tutorial, trying to create a field in a dynamic block to show the length of a line. If I have the attribute's "constant" value checked, the field shows up in my drawing as "Length: ######." However, when I uncheck the "constant" checkbox, the field doesn't show up at all, even after I run "UPDATEFIELD" and "REGEN."
I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2009, SP2.
I have stored a few blocks in our library in 2D. They contain attributes such as detail numbers, elevation/sheet numbers, and side attributes for keynotes. But whenever I drag the blocks in now, instead of prompting for the information to be filled out for the attributes it only asks for insertion point and scale and that's it. it inserts the block but no text shows up, not even a default text. There has to be a setting to turn off or on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a landscape architect trying to xref in civil backgrounds. I have noticed twice now from two different civil firms that some of the civil symbols (dynamic blocks) are having visibility issues in paper space. No the viewport layers are not turned off or frozen. No the views weren't placed using the sheet set manager. Yes the blocks are created on layer zero and yes the associated layer is not off or frozen. I don't believe these blocks are annotative blocks. They appear, as expected, perfectly clear in model space. I just toggel over to paper space and "poof" they've disappeared.

We have a new title block which now contains various fields to automatically populate the drawing number, number of sheets, issue etc. The problem we have is when we go to zoom all or extents on a layout tab it moves the layout to the right each time. If we only have one layout or we use a plain title block i.e. with no fields, the zoom works fine (layout stays put in the center). This is also true if we directly insert a field onto the layout - again no problems.
The cause of the problem only happens when a block containing a field is inserted onto the paper space of a layout and,there are multiple layouts containing blocks with fields.
How to find no of times specific blocks used in a drawing?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do I manipulate a height parameter all of the dynamic blocks in the drawing from one single field? Say a field located in the drawing properties or on the drawing itself.
For example: Multiple blocks of different walls of same height with other blocks of things on located on those walls, dependant on the wall height, all linked to and changed by a single field. Possibly a Wall Height field located in the custom tab of the drawing properties.
I can pickout each of the blocks and change them at the same time in properites menu because they all share the same parameter name. I would just like to have that height parameter of every block in the drawing, that has that specific parameter controled by a single field. Which I could enter a new height at anytime that would change every block in the drawing to that height.
We used a bespoke program to convert our drawings to Java applets for web usage. This does not cope with dynamic blocks at present and we have started to receive drawings from our clients using them.
I need to replace this with standard static blocks based on one of two criteria. Either:
1) Replace based on visibility state (have generic chair block with multiple different chair types set by visibility type, need to replace depending on which type it is set as)
2) Replace based on parameter (have table with size set by dimensions, need to replace with static block for each dimension)
I have over 100 blocks that I need to add the exact same objects and visibility state to. Is there a way to globally make this change, or even to copy the visibility states from one block to the next without having to recreate the states in each block? I thought I had previously run across a routine on here that would make changes to multiple blocks at once, but I can't seem to find it now.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe AttSync command does what it advertises fairly well. My problem is that I have thousands of small blocks in a single drawing. (My current drawing has 2100 block references with four attributes in each one.) I may change the attribute values in a few of them and need to re-sync the attribute locations. When I run AttSync it updates every single block insertion. One of two things are desired:
1)Flag each block insertion as having been sync'ed, reducing the number of objects requiring synchronization when AttSync is called again. Provide a way to force all to be sync'ed.
2)Allow a selection set in the AttSync command after selecting the block to sync.
Either or both of these would a great time-saver for those of us with large numbers of blocks with attributes.
I built a building foundation for a grading plan and I have another building that is the exact mirror of it. I have tried to mirror it. Didn't work. I created a block of the feature lines and inserted it with a -1 x value but I can't explode it. I tried the regular explode and xplode. Neither worked. I can use the the block to draw feature lines over but it just seems so much easier if I could figure out how to explode the block.

I have the same block repeated multiple times in a drawing, and I want to delete the last attribute in all of the specific blocks. When I edit the block in block editor, the attributes do not show up. After I explode the block, there is no text. The attached image shows the properties of the block.

95% of the blocks on the palettes have the images associated, and named, per the block name.
I have 48 blocks that the images are named like this "Block tool_F2149212-4649-41F5-95E6-4A978EC376F5_2".
I have tried resaving the blocks and recreating the blocks to no avail.
How to get these few blocks to have images that are associated with the actual block name and not the generic "block_too" name?
