AutoCad 3D :: Drawing Around Other 3D Objects To Create Another Object
Aug 7, 2013
I am trying to draw a boom for a sprayer and I have the 3 main tubes extruded. I need to draw plates every 48 inches in between the main tubes. I wanted to draw each plate to make sure it would fit and then use the drawings to cut the plates on my CNC plasma cutter. However, I can not figure out how to draw on the same plane right around the main tubes. I have a screen shot blow showing the tubes and I have a small 2D sketch similar to the plates I need to draw in every 48 inches to the right. The plates will be perpendicular to the top tube.

Let's say, for example, that i create an object with a size, then i create other objects with other sizes.
When I try to see the size of the first object created it says that has the same size like the other objects which have other sizes (it's even obvius cause they r bigger on my screen:D).With all the other versions of Corel i didn't had those problems, but X5 does that.

I got a simple question about the creation of copies of an object. Is it possible to have the objects in the mirroring of an object change with the object used as reference for mirroring?
If there is no function to do this directly is there a way to do it via Ilogics to update the mirrored objects? If possible even by deleting and creating a new the mirroring yet not manually but by i logic?

I am self taught on acad 2008, and have created a complex 3d drawing over the last year or so. But I need it to be represented in a mechanical drawing. I tried flatshot, but this is not true to form. Is there a way to do this? (an easy way)

STEPS: Group > Select Ojbects
PROBLEM: When I go to select the objects as as a SINGLE OBJECT, each object within the group is selectable -- as if they were not grouped.Shouldn't it be that when I select ANY of the objects within the group ALL OBJECTS in the group get selected, and not just each object?

I have a drawing with a bunch of polylines with object data attached. The polylines represent roads, and among the object data is a road number. A typical road number might be "2000" and a road without a number assigned yet would be "0"
I am trying to run a query that pull out just the objects where the road number field is 0. If I try to query based on object data where the field = 0, I get returned all of the polylines whether the field is 0 or not. If I query with "2000", I get returned just the single road with that number as expected.
I've tried several different ways to make this work and I'm not sure what is wrong. I have tried with the number as integers, and doing field = 0, field <= 0, field < 1 and that didn't work, so then I converted it over to a character field and have tried field = 0 and field = "0" - nothing seems to work. Is there something with the field being zero that is causing issues and is there a way to make this work?

I use Acad and Turbocad selectively. I can't find a way to enable Acad to have object handlers to move and rotate objects. Is there a setting that I can enable to turn this feature on in Acad? I like this feature in Turbocad, but like to have in Acad.

I want to select all the objects in the drawing and then based on the linetype it should be moved to a specific layer.
I can do this per type (circle, line, etc) but that will be a hell of a job and a lot of code. In Vba I check inside the selection on linetype and then change it to the correct layer. But in .NET i don't figured out a way how to do it.

I have a program that creates a drawing. I want to move all of the objects (lines, blocks, arcs...) from one point to another. I was using the SendStringToExecute, but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the section of code I have:
Dim newCenterX As Double
newCenterX = (rightXCoord + ((leftXCoord - rightXCoord) / 2))
startpt = New Geometry.Point3d(newCenterX, 0, 0)
endpt = New Geometry.Point3d(0, 0, 0)
' Move the objects from newCenterX to 0
acDoc.SendStringToExecute("._move all startpt endpt ", True, False, False)
acDoc.SendStringToExecute("._zoom _all ", True, False, False)
This will select all of the objects in the drawing, but it just doesn't see the start point and end point. It just keeps prompting me to enter the start and end points manually. Is there a way to pass the variables to the command? Is there another way of moving the objects?

I am preparing 3D model of a 354 acres campus area. I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2011. I have extruded all the building as AutoCAD drawing objects. I have also imported DEM of the area into AutoCAD. Now, how can I use this DEM to specify the Earth surface elevation or surface profile of my 3D building models so that all my 3D buildings read the Earth surface profile information from DEM.

I'm using this function to copy blocks from one drawing to another. It works in AutoCAD 2004, 2006 but I need to know whether will it work in AutoCAD 2010. This is the code that I use and my question is if I add these lines to check version is the method will work or not.
If Left(Application.Version, 2) = "18" Then
Set oDbx = GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.18")
End If
Here is the full program:
Private Sub CopyBlock(BlockName As String)
Dim oDbx As Object
' 2007 - 2009 ver.
If Left(Application.Version, 2) = "17" Then
Set oDbx = GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.17")
End If
[code]....

I have a weird issue with basic use xref in AutoCad 2012. There are two files complementary, (an elevation , one is masonry, the other windows). One is refering to the other with x-ref for a complete view (in overlay). From time to time some objects from the xref file are brought into the master file. This seems to happen randomly, like not all objects from a layer are moves for instance. These are usually blocks that are taken from the xref file. And when I discover them in the master drawing they are exploded too. So I have to clean my drawing up from all that scrap. It happen like twice a week.

Is it possible to constrain the location of one object based on the intersection of two other objects (for example, force the midpoint of one line to be at the intersection of two other lines?)
The reason I want to do this is specific to Civil 3D.

My requirement is to programmatically add labels to the objects on a CAD 2013 drawing in one operation (as opposed to typing them in). The labels exist in an external excel spreadsheet. I am new to CAD development.

we are having a problem here at our office. this revolves around one file. When I open the file, some objects (text, hatch, lines - all different layers) disappear. This happens before any command is made, and the object that disappear are on layers that are active and not frozen on all viewports. Also, the rest of the objects on the layer are visable. Other objects on these layers are visable, and the objects that disappeared are not visable on the model space or paper space. On top of that, when someone else opens the file, different objects turn invisable, and they can see the things I cant. The drawing takes about 5+ mins to load, dispite it being not a very large file. I tried purging unused items, reconciling layers, unhiding everything, freezing and unfreezing all layers and restarting autocad.
Coincidentaly the x-ref dwg is having a very similar issue.

On my company's default drawing template, I have a text block on there with some drawing notes. We often edit some of the notes on the end at each drawing so I didn't create it on the "title block" layer, rather it's on the "top" layer. I also added (in the template) a revision table with Rev. A being "Released for Production" (because we are weird). How can I constrain those on the sheet so when I change sheet size, they stay in the same position relative to the corners of the sheet?

One of our AutoCAD drawings circa 1990 on only one of our machines (our newest, 64-bit, Win 7, see more specs in attachment) opened only partially in ACAD 2008. If saved in this state, the drawing permanently loses whatever information was not loaded, so I’m pretty sure it’s not a display issue. All of our other machines are much, much older, running Windows XP Prof, none of them have exhibited this phenomenon. It happened regardless of whether the file was on the hard drive or on the server. Any way to fix this so that 2008 works correctly on this machine with all drawings. BTW, this did not happen with two drawings dated 1989.

is there a way to rotate my whole drawing without actually selecting the objects in it. ? i.e to say, the drawing rotates itself according to my viewpoint [my eyes] and i dont have to rotate my neck to view the tilted objects in drawing.

On a large 2012 drawing, suddenly the entire drawing is half tone and every object is locked. When you try to select an object, the little lock symbol apprears next to the cursor. I must have done something inadvertantly to lock the entire drawing, but I can not find any command or reference to unlock the drawing. This problem is also unique to this drawing.

The firm at which I am currently consulting uses AutoCAD 2014. My system at home has P&ID. I don't use the object/3d features -- it is just the version of AutoCAD that I wound up buying. (I think it was on special or something.) In any case, some of our drawing files have become too cumbersome to use, especially on the machines at the office, and I wonder if my P&ID is the culprit. The large files appear to have AEC objects that are bogging them down, but nobody has ADT, so we are unsure from where these objects are coming. They may be coming from the client, but I wonder if they are coming from my system. Does P&ID automatically create AEC objects and, if so, is there a way to keep it from doing that?

Is there a proper way to gray-scale objects in a drawing? What i have done is turned off layers and point groups that I want to remain in color and selected the rest and changed the color in the properties box. Any way to move back and forth from gray to color.
