I'm using AutoCAD MEP 2011. Is there a way to hide 3D objects in a viewport when printing without using Solview/Soldraw? When I use solview/soldraw it thaws out certain entities that I need to not be shown and then I am having to go and erase a bunch of lines that I do not want to be there..

i have had this problem more than once and can usually get away with it by moving the objects that are hiding a little bit any way and usually they will show but its not working this time
I have some xrefs that have text masks that mask out my objects, moved the sort order to rear (back) but they still hide my objects. Is there any way to simply disable them in the original xref?

However i recently created a model that has an M40 Thread as part of the model. However when i try to 3D print it, it doesn't recognise the thread and it isn't printed. I see the thread on the ipt but once it is saved as an stl it seems to disappear.

When in model space no extra lines a present or missing. Everything is where it need to be. Same goes when a review the drawing in layout before I publish to PDF.
When I publish to paper its fine, no problems.
Unwanted objects showing through your printed output (and print preview), but not showing up in the paperspace display, when using 3dclip in Acad 2011 (mechanical) ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I print from Corel Draw X3 some of the objects do not print. They are in the art and show up fine on the print preview but then when I print, those objects are missing. It's almost always with customer art that I've imported. I can't recall it ever happening with art that was designed in X3.
It's the strangest thing. If I change the color of the object that won't print it will then show up in the print preview for the corresponding color. But it still won't print. I usually end up having to recreate that object and then it prints fine. I don't understand why it wouldn't print if I'm able to view the object and change it's color.
I'm using Accu-Rip software, an Epson 1400 printer, and Windows XP. We print separations for screen printing.
Print preview shows objects spaced correctly. But when it prints them, it compresses them together on the page (but the objects are sized correctly).
When I print the same file from a different computer on the network to the same printer, the objects are spaced correctly.
Which leads me to conclude it's a setting in CorelDraw on the first computer. Also, I reset all the default settings in CorelDraw using the F8 technique, but that didn't solve the problem.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have opened an exported .dwg file from Vectorworks. I have been able to hide most items I wish to. My difficulty is that I have (what I think from reading and Youtube) is dynamic blocks (light instruments). They are on a layer that is turned off, yet they are still visible. I've played around in the block editor, but I really don't know what I'm doing. If need be I can delete the light instruments, but I'd rather not. If there is a command to hide all blocks? I tried to use the properties editor to change the color to white so they would disappear. That didn't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making a multiview drawing with isometric of a certain sheet metal part. Due to manufacturing reasons, they have to make the part longer than necessary to get a bend in it then I will have them shear off the extra. Is there a way I can show the multiview and flat pattern WITH the extra material and show the isometric WITHOUT that extra? In the model I remove the excess with a cut but I don't know how to suppress a feature for one view and not another.

I've just been sent some layouts by our planning team and they have attributes stating the size and name of all the furniture.
How can I quickly hide or delete the attributes as for my purposes the text is irrelevant and gets in the way?
I have tried the BATTMAN command but it doesn't seem to let me delete all of the attributes I have to leave one on each block. Currently all of the attributes are on the same layer as the lines (layer 0.)
I have 1 user who refuses to learn the ribbon and turns every toolbar known to man on.
It has been suggested that I could remove his ACAD.cui (menuload, then unload). Is this the best way to make sure he cannot use them at all and is forced to learn the ribbon?
Another option I have is to simply click the View tab and uncheck the User Interface panel, but he could just as easily turn it back on as soon as I walk away, or even better he could turn on the Menu Bar from the quick access toolbar and add them through the View pulldown menu or just type in CUI and turn toolbars on that way also.
(Image attached). I am using Inventor 2013 and Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a sketch within one of my views on my .idw. I would like to turn this sketch on or off based on the input from a variable that is read elsewhere. I have used the following code from the help file with no luck so far.
Public Sub SketchEdit() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument ' Determine if there are any sheet overlay sketches. Dim oSketches As DrawingSketches oSketches = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.Sketches If oSketches.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If ' Set a reference to the first sketch. Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch oSketch = oSketches.Item(4) oSketch.Edit() If vValue_Closer = "" Then oSketch.LineWeight = 0 Else oSketch.LineWeight = 0.007 End If ' Return from edit mode. oSketch.ExitEdit() End Sub
The code errors out on the line 'osketch = osketches.item(4)'. I have tried using a number like that, and I have also tried using the actual name of the sketch. Neither works.
oSketch = oSketches.Item("Closer_Reinf")
what to edit here to get it to look at my Closer_Reinf sketch to hide it/unhide it ?

I have a 3D model and I have made some views. I put my dimentions on view. For now its OK.Then, I want to change something in my 3D model, and I am using "hide objects" and "unisolate objects" tasks, while doing my changes. In this example I did not change anything, just went to model space, selected all objects and did tasks "hide objects" and then "unisolate objects". Then, when I go back to my layout, all dimentions are wrong. Nothing was changed, but "hide objects" and "unisolate objects" tasks ruined the annotative dimensions.

I'm trying to find an option to hide all constraints in a drawing, I am familiar with the toolbar option to turn display constraints on and off but my issue is that it's not a permanent toggle. Every time I change from a paper tab to the model tab or activate a viewport the constraint display is automatically turned on again and I must wait for the constraints and the drawing to generate. When playing checker I am frequently changing tabs or checking within a viewport, this is adding significant time required to check the drawing. I have not been able to locate a system variable or command to "freeze" the constraints until I want to see them again. an option to allow me to turn off constraint displays as I'm desiring or is this a Wish List item for R2014?
