I have wrapped a polysolid with a width of 2mm around a series of rollers to make a conveyor belt and would like to know the finished length,
When it comes to making the belt I will obviously measure it in real world but it would be good for me to compare the difference between CAD world and real world.
I have tried 'LIST' command and also 'MASSPROP', neither telling me what I need.
How can i make use of polysolid to produce floor plan with specific dimension?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used PEDIT to join multiple polylines, which now appear as polylines. But when I use QSELECT to show all open (non-closed) section, one polyline still shows up as open.
I've attached the file I'm working on. The polyline in question is the green outline on the object on the right.
i want to have multiple offsetoutlines on a closed or non-closed path. with "offset path" i can make only one additional outline but i need multiple?
i searched all over the net for answers with no success.
Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?
I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum). But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).
I was wondering if there is a way with DB's to have a line "follow" or "grow" with the content/value length of an attribute. Maybe some method of linking the attribute width to length of the line? Essentially, it would work just like turning on the underline setting when typing in mtext editor (or any program with an underline option for that matter), expect that the line could be placed anywhere, and would not have to reside directly below the text.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWith using superelevation wizard in Civil 3d 2012, changing the lane width is not affecting the resulted values of transion length and run-off length, Is that correct ? ( as civil is using standerd AASHTO tables which assume that lane width typically is 3.6m )
Also, There is only 2 tables for 2-lanes and 4-lanes roadway, Is it for total road width or for one directon only, and what about different no. of lanes ?
I am creating a block with attributes for a standard job. I have (4) total attributes in this block (for example: panel type, qty, length in imperial, length in mertic)

Is this possible?
Is there a methoed or trick to realize a polyline is closed or not?
View 3 Replies View RelatedError called "Cursor is Closed" that I'm getting in my AutoCAD error log. This error seems to come up when I do a join between an SDF or SHP layer and a Tabular Data Table.

How can I make it like a hatch(to fill it up)?
I have small problem. When I use hatch on certain area it also wants to hatch one closed area ,however other closed areas do not hatch. I rechecked , remade the closed area which is hatched along side with the area I really need to hatch. So how can I isolate that little area? Or what is the problem?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've just made the dramatic leap from AutoCAD LT 2005 to AutoCAD LT 2013. By far and away the environment in 'Classic" mode is very familiar and there are some new features. However, one item really getting under my skin is the hatch feature. In LT 2005 one could pick the points to hatch, if the item is closed or not, by individual mouse click points similar to how you can still check an area now. Is this hatch feature still available and I just don't have the new program configured properly or will I be forced to draw each item I want to hatch as a 'closed' element?

I’ve tried EXTRIM but that fails on blocks.
When I try to extrude this closed polyline (yes it is closed) I get the message "Cannot sweep or extrude a self-intersecting curve." I do this sort of extrusion all the time (closed polylines with various geometry) and usually have no trouble.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using the admittedly pieced together code in order to insert border blocks around a closed polyline. Yhe problem I'm having is that when the Block angle is say "zero" the block is inserted the same way both on top and below the polyline. Since the blocks surround the polyline the blocks on the downside should have an additional 180 degree rotation. How to deduct that the portion of the polyline is in a certain quadrant and adjust the insertion angle as necc? I 'm not sure thats even the best approach.

Working in AutoCAD 2011. Unable to modify text once the text box is closed. I can only erase and re-write once closed. Bummer! When I re-select and double click on text, neither the box that typicallly encloses the text nor the "drop down box" w/ the various modifications that can be made appears. This includes new text just written since re-opening the file and existing text that was entered in previous sessions. I don't see anything that indicates that the text is "locked" or otherwise restricted from modification.

Autocad 2013 closed when I click "A" symbol, "A" symbol meaning is AUTOCAD symbol at upper left corner.
one again, why licence screen didn't display after finishing install ?
Presently the "AREA" of a closed polyline is in "sq-in" first, THEN "sq ft".
For everything I do, and likely others, I need sq ft - without having to waste time and roll my cursor over the results.
Is there ANY way to change this default to have sq ft FIRST!??
For example, I have four lines that they form a rectangle.
I want to verify with a macro that the rectangle is closed. That the four corners are closed.
This is the easiest case, but I would like to do it for also more complex form.
I was wondering if there is a settings for the displayed values in a polyline's properties. Such as area. Normally it will display square feet but I would like for it to also display acres. I know it a simple conversion, but over the course of a year or more it could save me alot of time.
