AutoCad 3D :: Erratic Lines In FLATSHOT Command 2013

Sep 24, 2012

I produce a lot of "Exploded View" style drawings for our equipment for assembly drawings and Operators Manuals. I model everything in 3D, set the perspective view, adjust the view I like, then use the Flatshot command to make 2D lines and arcs verions of the view to put into paperspace. Then item bubbles, notes, whatever. as of the last week, my flatshots, if they include a hex bolt head in the view, the arcs on the faces of the flats will be really stretched and skewed decidley toward the vanishing point in the completion of the Flatshot command. It does not happen on other arcs that may be in the model, seems to be exclusive with the hex. I doesn't happen if I do not make the view pespective but leave it "Parallell".

AutoCad :: Flatshot - Generate Random Lines From Objects

May 11, 2013

I have a problem with flatshot in perspective in AutoCAD 2014, the problem is not in AutoCAD 2010. It seems to generate random lines from objects.

See attached drawings from both versions.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Trim Command Skipping Lines?

Oct 1, 2013

When I initiate the trim command with a double enter (i.e. select all mode), I usually first zoom into the area I want to trim so I see no other objects, then start the trim <Enter><Enter> option, then pick the lines I want to trim.  Even if these extend off the screen and cross other objects (not seen on the screen), they usually trim off completely.  However, on occassion they don't.  To replicate the problem try this:

Draw 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal intersecting (like noughts and crosses)Draw a horizontal line that intersects both vertical lines but up near the top of those linesZoom in so you only see the square and extending lines (but not the short horizontal line)Trim <Enter> <Enter> and pick from bottom right to top left (i.e. around the squareZoom out.

The square is trimmed, however there are 2 line fragments left above the horizontal short line.

Fix: UndoTrim the same way and presto, it now works I found if I then moved the line above (so only a small amount), zoomed in again, tried to trim - same error.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line Appears Again After Plot Command?

May 15, 2012

I press CTRL+9 to make the Command Line disappear while drawing. When I plot (or when doing a plot preview) , the Command Line appears again by itself. So I always have to turn the Command Line off manually after each plot

The bug still happens;

- if Dynamic Input is turned off or on
- if I plot to a real device or in PDF
- if the Cammand Line Palette i docked or floating.

This is not an issue in AutoCAD 2012 so I guess it has to do with the new way they programmed the revamped Command Line palette in 2013.

AutoCAD LT :: Erratic Cursor During Move

AutoCad :: Flatshot - 2D And 3D Geometry?

Sep 13, 2011

Have a drawing with multiple xref's , Blocks within it. Drawing geometry is a combination of 2D and 3D. Would like to project this onto a 2D plane - "FlatShot?" and then save it as another drawing.

Main reason for this is for a KeyPlan - routing diagram for a plant.

AutoCad :: Flatshot In Shades Of Grey?

Mar 13, 2012

Is it possible to flat shot a 3d image in anything other skin than the standard 2d wireframe? I am wanting to annotate a drawing for a spares list, but can't annotate in isometric 3d view (atleast not without changing the UCS axis which i'm not also not sure how to!).

AutoCad :: 3D To 2D Isometric Look In Top View FLATTEN / FLATSHOT Commands?

Nov 16, 2013

I have created an object in 3ds max and exported as dwg. file to open it in autocad. The purpose for importing that shape in autocad was to set an isometric view of that object and use it in my 2D drawings for annotation and explanation purposes.

What I am trying to achieve is to have that isometric view flattened, but in top (drafting) view along my plan section and elevations so that it looks as if it has been drafted in 2D if that makes sense.

So far I have come across two commands - FLATTEN and FLATSHOT. When using FLATTEN command I get the flattened 2d splines from that object as desired, but in that orthographic view. As soon as I start rotating the flat shape gets distorted and I cant get back to it's original flattened state.

FLATSHOT immediately comes with an error saying that it is not a solid so nothing can be projected. Explode the object then use command - converttosurface this works and I can initiate the FLATSHOT command but the shape has all this extra geometry after converting it to surface and it is not what I want.

The closest is the FLATTEN command as it also allows me to hide the back edges so that I only get a clean outline of the object. But how can I rotate it and position it in a top view, flat, along the drafted elevation and plan.

Photoshop :: Erratic Cursor Movements

Aug 5, 2009

I am just trying to fix some seems for a texture in Photoshop. I'm using a pretty simple method of a half opacity Clone Stamp brush and just tapping the obvious seams with other parts of the image.

All goes well till about 38 seconds into it the Clone Stamp makes a huge streak in the lower left half of the video. You'll even notice that my cursor didn't go over there.... its similar to drawing lines while holding shift (giving you straight lines) but it happens randomly and not on purpose... any ideas?

I'm literaly just starting to use CAD so this might be a silly question, but how would I offset a line more than one distance in a command? Is there like a symbol you put between each distance like 2000;2250;2650 or something along those lines (no pun intended).

AutoCAD Architecture :: Trim Command Skipping Lines

Mar 11, 2013

We recently upgraded to Autocad Architecture 2013 and the trim command is driving me mental. Lets say I have a window mullion pattern with 4 intersecting lines and I want to trim out the center. (see attached example) I start the trim command, then right to left window to select the 4 lines, then use another right to left selection window to trim out the lines. It always leaves on of the lines leaving me to have to click one more time. This is a huge pain when you have to do this multiple times. That is a lot of extra clicks. What gives? I never had this issue before.

AutoCAD LT :: Command That Would Break Lines At Intersections Automatically?

Apr 4, 2012

Is there a command that would break lines at intersections automatically? 

I know there is such a command in autocad map 3D, but is there a way to do it in LT?  With a macro?

I have attached a picture of the parcels that I like to break at each intersection has an example. 

Then I go on to use the OVERKILL command which works very well.

Photoshop :: CS6 Erratic Eyedropper Cursor - Will Not Vibrate

Jun 15, 2012

Late 2008 Unibody MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.7.4 Lion, and Photoshop CS6 13.0.
 
In Photoshop CS6, I have noticed that when using my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, the eyedropper tool will very often (almost always) display erratic behaviour when using the brush tool and pressing Alt to switch to the eyedropper tool temporarily. The "source location" (the pixel which is being sampled), along with the color picker ring will rapidly "vibrate", making it difficult to choose a precise color. The eyedropper cursor will NOT vibrate, however, showing that the problem isn't with the pointing device.
 
When switching directly to the eyedropper, the issue does not happen, it only happens when pressing Alt while using Brush tool, as far as I can tell.It also does not seem to happen when using the MacBook Pro's built-in trackpad.[URL]...

Here is a thread about a similar issue, though I cannot tell if this is the same problem, as I have not had this issue with CS5 with the same exact setup:[URL]...
