AutoCad 3D :: Get 2D Map In 3D To Get Z Info
May 8, 2012I got 2D map of ruined castle - terrain in DWG format. is there a way to get it in 3D to get the Z-info automatically ? the levels are defined i hope

I've not had to deal with metes and bounds info in a very long time. For one project I have to generate the info for a couple parcels. From looking around it looks like there's a tool in ACAD Civil. Is there something similiar in Map3D?

what have a done and how do i fix it???
Not sure what it's called but I have a co worker that has lost the bar at the lower left corner of the window. Where it says "Text:... Dim:.... Scale:....". I have it on my computer and can't figure out how to get it back on his.

bop

Is this possible? The closest I get is to make a curve table with the pi coordinates and no bop or eop coord'.

I need to find a way to export the selected face to dwg and to have the Part Number and if possible the description written under the exported face. I don't know if it's possible to do this. I know it's possible to export programmatically the selected face, but is it possible to get the name + description into the drawing too?
We're just looking for a way to "automate" the creation of our laser drawings.
when I click/select on a line a box appears with line info, I know that these pop up when you click on a line twice however something is making it so that it appears after 1 click only. This is annoying me as it blocks other lines i need to work on. How do I get it to stop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have stored within an external database a handle of an entity within a drawing. If I have that drawing open and I retrieve that handle and then get the ObjectID from that Handle how do I convert that to a BlockReference so that I can then get position and attrribute values. I can get the position and attributes if I can just get the blockreference from the Object ID.
I am using the following code to get the ObjectID from the Handle:
Public Function ObjectIdFromHandle(db As Database, strHandle As String) As ObjectId Dim nHandle As Int32 = Int32.Parse(strHandle, Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier) Dim handle As New Handle(nHandle) Dim ids(0) As ObjectId Try ids(0) = db.GetObjectId(False, handle, 0) Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Error in ObjectIDfromHandle") End Try Return ids(0) 'Return db.GetObjectId(False, handle, 0) End Function
I then want to use this ObjectID to get the BlockReference.
i can access the General layer properties thru the api (circled in green on image). how can i programmatically access the Attributes (circled in red). is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Inventor license that doesn't include Autocad. We have some old Autocad drawings that I would like to write a program to extract the titleblock info which I believe is probably done with attributes. Not sure though.
is there any way for me to get to that info without having a seat of Autocad? In Inventor we can use apprentice to do similar things.
We use map info as our native GIS and can use these .TAB files with MAPIMPORT in C3D, but what I would really like to do is use MAPCONNECT like can be done for .SHP files, etc.. I've inquired with [URL].....and they have confirmed that their FME product doesn't support 2013.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project looking at modifying cycle routes. I just discovered that they've been added to google maps and I was wondering if there's a way to import the cycle routes from an area on google maps into CAD. If not, I can draw them in on the OS but it would be time wasted if there's a way.
I thought maybe on AutoCAD WS on chrome, but it seems limited on the mapping features available.
I want to run a code something like this:
for each ctrl in autocad window
if type of ctrl is palette then
msgbox (Ctrl.name)
end if
next
Practically I want to read the info existing from a palette that is loaded by CADWORX
Is there a way to preload information into Inventor in regards to the break press such as the dies being used or the ones available so the when the computer is deciding a bending radius,it know what tool we have?
Currently the bend radius is set to "radius", which i am assuming is default, but I can't figure out how to change that either, and depending on the thickness it will change, but like today it said I would need a 1/16th inch radius, but we don't have a 1/16th inch die,it is an 85 degree air bending setup,and has a 4 way die with smaller and bigger openings.
Go to I - button in Inventor, then to the recent files list, hover the mouse over any file in the list.
You will see a preview of the file & later In about a 1 second delay (keep the mouse still) the preview expands a date/time info.
Where switch/checkbox is to turn off/on this date/time info?

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 1 Replies View RelatedI have some topo drawings (contours with Z elevations) and am trying to create lines representing where we did our field work. I then want to extract X, Y & Z coordinates of points along those lines (either where they cross the contour lines or at regular intervals along the lines that I create). I can create surface(s) of the topo that I have, but my questions are what kind of lines would be the best to use to represent our lines of field work (3D poly lines, feature lines, or alignments) and once I get those laid in, how do I extract the XYZ info into a text format of some kind (excel, csv, etc.)?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI created an enclosed "object" adding break lines to two different surfaces.
The blue surface shown on the attached drawing is a set of break lines added to "Surface A" and then the red is the other set of break lines added to "Surface B". I have already generated the volume enclosed within the surfaces by doing a surface to surface volume calculation.
My Question:I want to combine the enclosed volume created by Surface A & Surface B into a 3D "Block" that give me the volume information.
We use an in-house plotstamp (not the acad plotstamp) which uses rtext to show the file path and name. It works fine under all circumstances EXCEPT when we plot using the Publish command. The output from Publish shows the file path as the C:Documents and Settings... where the acad2005 software is installed instead of the correct network drive path where the dwg files are located.
Is there a secret setting somewhere that will keep Publish from changing the rtext? If we switch from rtext to fields, would that eliminate the problem?
I've created a custom title block. I'd like to use VB to fill in this title block using info obtained from an Excel Spreadsheet; Company Name, Location, Drawing Title, etc.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 200,000 lines with some object data. LINKED to these lines is a database with some more information. Basically I want to export all of these lines to shape files, converting the information in the linked database to be the new object data. (This is for the client to view the lines on ArcGIS).
I have done this a few times in the past, but working with this volume of lines and data, Its taking an extremely long time.
My question is, could i use autolisp to quickly transfer the database data to object data before i export to shape files? or if there are any other options.
I am looking for information on the option parameters, any documentation?
I found some code to query what parameters there are (Rule: GetTranslatorOptions), just not sure what the enumerations are for some.
Specifically: ExportUnits, Resolution
Using Rule:ExportSTL
I have changed the Export Units from 1 to 4 and do not see any change to the STL ASCII output.. not sure what this parameter does... Expected it to be an enumeration of the drop-down box that you see during "manual" exporting.
Lisp code to read xdata information?
