AutoCad 3D :: Model Size Too Big To Handle?
Sep 21, 2011
Recently I have been modeling a dock with cranes and a container yard. Everything is going fine until I decided change the boxes -solid primitive- that represent the containers for a more detailed container model, also wish to change the color of these individually.
I've tried to simply copy/paste several container models, but the file became huge and the AutoCad performance is deeply affected. So I try inserting blocks of these models with the same effect, even I tried to convert the container model to a brep before paste in my overall model, in order to keep the file manageable, but no much difference.
How can i get what I want? Lot of containers (3270 more or less) who being capable of change their color randomly and individually.

When I zoom in or zoom out the model, normally the dimension will follow the model too.But now in Autocad 2013, even the model size change, the dimension still remain unchange. why? Is there any setting I miss out? URL....

i was trying to model a character in Maya and somehow messed up the pivot. The handle stretch beyond the horizon in the scale and move tool, and for the rotate one i can't see the circle no matter how far i zoom out.

I have a 3D model that consists of a large number of "small" objects that i created earlier in separate files. The problem is that now my model is 50Mb and I am having trouble working with it. Is there a way of reducing size, or is there any other solution that would not change the geometry of my model?
Working with Intel Quad Core, 6Gb of ram and ATI Radeon HD3800.

I'm looking to size my model space window so that it is exactly 1280x720 pixels of viewable area for the sake of using plot to .png to create the right size images.
Is there a quick command or menu somewhere that shows the current viewable area of the model space window and allows for it to be changed?
I am using AutoCAD 2012.

Size of labels in model and layout modes,
I couldn’t figure out how the label size is controlled at the layout mode. Please, have a look on the two attached screenshots that shows the label size in model and layout modes.

Getting the proper text size in model space.
If single or multi-line text is set at a particular size, notes or dimension text for one object (like a fabrication detail) could be legible, where as text for a much larger object (like a floor plan) could be hard to read.
Is there a way to compensate for this? Or is it a matter of manually adjusting text size for every drawing component? So far, I have found the easiest way is through the Quick Properties feature.

Can i scale a 2D object to an exact length and width that i need to fit into a space?
Ive been reading around online and they say use scale/ref, however i noticed by giving the ref length, it does lengthen the object to the ref length, but the height's off!

The problem I run into with 3DClip is that once my 3D model reaches a certain size I loose the visualization of my clipping boundaries. I can watch my viewport change as move the clipping plane but don't see a handy dandy line to show where exactly it is clipping.
Now if I could just get my front clipping plane to show up white, blue, yellow, or any color other than black given my black background!

Do we have a size limit of the models using replace model reference?
Just done a little testing with some iam's
Anything larger that 500 parts and the drawing does nothing, no replace..

I've been tinkering with text sizes in model space and would like to have my point numbers consistent regardless of zoom factor. I can do this in paper space (viewports) as the annotative scale controls the appearance, but for doing analysis of points at various zooms in model space, it would be nice to be able to Regen and have them all come to a certain text size.
I've made some expressions that are modifications of those I use in paper space, but I can't seem to find a function/variable that I can reference for this purpose.

I created the following user parameters:
-Thickness
-Width
-Length
-Dia
I then created a Custom iProperty which consisted of the following "formula": Finished Material Size = <Thickness> x <Width> x <Length> Lg.
eg. of Finished Material Result : Finished Material Size = 6 x 25 x 300 Lg.
The problem comes up when dealing with diametrical components as the above formula will only populate for square or rectangular parts. Which would work if I could use iLogic code to populate the Finished Material Size iProperty. I have tried but failed.
First I created another user parameter called "Geometry Type" which has a drop down selection of either "DIA" or "SQUARE, RECTANGULAR".I then created the following iLogic code to set 0 as the value for the "unused" size parameters
If PART_GEOMETRY = "DIA" Then WIDTH = "0"If PART_GEOMETRY = "DIA" Then THICKNESS = "0"If PART_GEOMETRY = "SQUARE, RECTANGULAR" Then DIA = "0"
The part I just can't get to work is as follows.
I need some iLogic code which will populate the "FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE" custom iproperty with one of the following based on my "GEOMETRY TYPE" selection. "DIA" would return the following to "FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE": = Ø <Dia> x <Length> Lg.
While "SQUARE, RECTANGULAR" would return the following to "FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE": = <THICKNESS> x <WIDTH> x <LENGTH> Lg.I tried the following code but it does not work:
If PART_GEOMETRY = "DIA" Then iProperties.Value("Custom", "FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE")= "Ø"DIA "x" LENGTH "Lg."If PART_GEOMETRY = "SQUARE, RECTANGULAR" Then iProperties.Value("Custom", "FINISHED MATERIAL SIZE")= THICKNESS "x" WIDTH "x" LENGTH "Lg."

I have recently downloaded 3ds max for Architectural fly through animations and to create construction sequence animations. I will not be modelling any designs in Max as I already use either sketch up or revit and plan on importing those models in to max. I have looked at a few tutorials here about importing into 3ds max which have been very useful but I would like more info/tips on how to keep model sizes down etc when importing e.g material usage, avoiding importing unnecessary elements especially from revit and how to set up models for quick rendering times when creating building animations. I know your computer specs are a big factor but sadly I cannot afford a high spec machine at the moment and I have to improvise.

Query on rigging, more to do on skinning. If my uv is a multi uv layout (0-1, 1-2 and so on) for a model then I am able to get the maximum size of texture for each part of the model.
When I take this to rigging then the model gets a default bind skin properly.However when we try to paint skin weights it starts behaving erratic after some time.I feel this could be due to the multi uv set feature.Is there a solution to work around this?

I am trying to delete records from a database file by using the erase event of the AutoCad Document Object, that is:
Private Sub AcadDocument_ObjectErased(ByVal ObjectID As Long)
My problem is that my database identifies objects by their handles in the drawing file. How do I convert the ObjectID into the object handle? I tried:
strHandle$ = Hex$(ObjectID)
but it didn't return the handle of the object that was being deleted

I need to connect to specific instances of AutoCAD and Plant3D. The Running Object Table (ROT) only holds one instance so GetObject wont work.
I've tried getting the correct instance using the hwnd with the AccessibleObjectFromWindow function. I'am thinking the easiest way is to autoload a plugin to communicate with, maybe through a service.

Today i had to use hatch a lot, the mission was to hatch extended and and walls that not with different hatch types.
the first thing that came up is to use wipeuot under the hatch, but its lots of work and time waste (wipeout objects never been plot-friendly).
what do you do when you have to hatch overlapping objects.

I have an application that saves the handle of some geometry on a DB.
The geometry is limked with database information, and each time the drawing is open the data is loaded to application via a Handle.
I used the Handle, because the is persistent, but one time when I open the drawing, the applications says the data doesn't match the drawing, I check it and it was the same drawing, when defining again the geometry I realize the handle had change.
I don't know why this happens, I only save and close the drawing. Is there some point the handles need to be recycled on the application?
Or what could happen that changed the handlers of the drawing.
It only happen one time, in one drawing, but I don't know if it can happen again.

Question,
I have a list of blocks in a datagrid. When i double click a certain record it gets the objectid or handle.
Now i know how too highlight the object. But i don't want to highlight the entity but select it so i can change it's property's in the property pallet.
In the first screen shot you see the code i have. wicht highligts the record but the propperty pallet display no object selected.
But i want it to work like the next picture.
So the question is. When i know an entity's objectid or handle how do i select that entity programticly.

I'm trying to employ a technique that I've used with SolidWorks. I'm working on a project with several engineers doing design work on a large assembly. The way I've seen this handled in a SolidWorks shop is to create a master assembly with sketches on the principal planes that define envelopes for sub assemblies, interface dimensions, and so on. Each engineer can have the master assembly in their sub assembly, as a guide. Where I've used this before, it has worked with integrating the sub assemblies later on.
Here's the complication: There are several different "families" of the product that require different dimensions on the master sketches. What I had hoped to do in Inventor was use view representations or level of detail representation to control the visibility of these "families" of master sketches. When an engineer includes the master assembly in his sub assembly he could then easily turn on the "family" he wants to see. But it turns out that neither view representations nor level of detail representations influence the visibility of sketches. (Position representations don't, either.) Sketches are either visible or not visible, regardless of which representation you're in.
Is there some way I can control the visibility of sketches, in groups?

I need to use the Handle of the cloned object during a DeepClone override but AutoCAD shuts down when I try to use it.
This is the best I can think of but it still boots me out when I try.
Public Overrides Function DeepClone(ByVal dbObject As DBObject, ByVal ownerObject As DBObject, ByVal idMap As IdMapping, ByVal isPrimary As Boolean) As DBObject Try Return MyBase.DeepClone(dbObject, ownerObject, idMap, isPrimary) Catch Finally CompileCloneObjects(dbObject.Handle.ToString, MyBase.DeepClone(dbObject, ownerObject, idMap, isPrimary).Handle.ToString) End Try End Function

I was wondering if there was a way to get the object handle ID to display when rolling over an object or failing that, to get the handle ID to show up in the object quick properties?
At the moment I have to select each object and type LIST to get this information and it's very time consuming if I want to check the handle IDs for multiple objects.
