i downloaded a DWG from the subzero refrigerator website and i saved as a dxf and tried importing into cabinetvision and it says there is 21000 faces and takes a while to load and slow my computer down, is there anyway to reduce the number of faces?

I know methods of reducing number of colors to 255 or 3. However I would like to experiment with values above 255. Is there any method of doing so by exact number ? Or at least by visually checking when using sliders?

Seems that when I use a 1 pixel strip and repeat horizontally there is a slight amount of banding visible. Is there any good ways in Photoshop to reduce this?
i have a 2012 version of autrocad and i have a problem with my 3Dobject settings.
when i move my cursor over any object (eg:box) placed in SW iso view,I cannot see the bottom face of box neither the back or right side. The object should become transparent when i move my cursor over it,but instead the object is purely solid.When i want to shell box from bottom it becomes a problem.
Is it easier to draw out all faces of the 3d object and then merge them together later on or is there a method that allows me to be able to dimension and extrude my object as I work from the 3d space?
Say, I created a square and extruded it into a block. Then I want to look at one of the sides and poke 3 holes in it. My problem is I cannot use annotate to change the geometrical constraints on them, like if my circle is out of place or if it is too large or small.( or at least they don't show up for me.)
I'm learning about the UCS system but I thought if I moved the UCS system to the face I want to draw on and change from 3d modeling back to 2d annotation I can go ahead and annotate from that face of interest.
I have a volume in my CAD file described by 3D Faces. Is there anyway to know what is the volume of this volume -that represents an open pit-?
Every time that I do a volume I do by the comparison of 2 surfaces but this is not the case now.
I am associating fields to polylines to get area square footage. I know there is a better way using AEC objects, but that includes a massive redraw that isn't feasible at this time.
I have included a short animation showing what the current process is. Without redrawing using AEC objects, is there a way to cut down on the amount of clicking to pull of this task?
I've been using 3DS max for a few days now, but I recently must have pressed a shortcut key which makes some of the near-side-faces disappear so that you can see the the opposite side.
The picture that I've attached (successfully hopefully) shows that I've not simply deleted the sides as the missing faces are rendered. But something I couldn't show in the picture was that when you change the viewing angle, the faces reappear and disappear based on the view.
The only solutions I could think of was to delete the objects (failed), and starting a new file (no success with that)
I don't know what happened, but suddenly, i couldn't see the selected faces of the object i was modeling in my viewport, just the edges
what I want to see when I select faces is this (Minute 2) [URL] ......
Is there an easy way to copy a line of vertices and have it create new faces on the same object?
I have a rectangle, viewing from the side, that I have already modified extensively. I simply need to create additional vertices / faces along the length of the rectangle.

I have one object with backface cull on, when i see through the object i see the awns but not the faces, but if i flip the faces i don´t see the awns, but i see the faces sometimes this is very annoying. I don´t know if this will be a problem in a future.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi got Inventor recently, and i've been working on a model of a longboard just to teach myself how to use the tools in Inventor. right now i'm trying to color areas for the griptape pattern so i drew the 2D pattern and projected it onto the 3D model of the longboard. but when i tried to split the faces of the model along the projected pattern only a few of the projected lines split the faces. for other faces i kept getting these errors:

Is it possible to reduce the main object of the image only to get more space around/in the background? I use PSE 9 -- but have PSE 10 to install.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to extrude multiple faces, and then get them to rotate along the center of the object so that they can all sort of have the same angle radiating from the center. In the picture, the one on the top Left is my starting point. I would like to rotate those faces, for example, so that they will all be flat (picture on Right which I achieved through vert snapping to grid) but the only results I can produce are the 2 small pictures on the bottom. =(
Is this possible?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to edit some pictures that a customer of mine has taken. They are of silver utensils wrapped with beads and the way she has taken them, there is a huge shine reflection on them. There are 25 current pictures all using the same dark background.
I have fiddled with the adjustment brightness and highlights, but they come out looking gray and fake, so I removed those adjustments.
I tried using burn the bright spots and then dodge the coloured stones to bring back some luster. No matter what i am doing, it no longer is a silver utensil, it is a picture that has been poorly edited, and that simply isn't okay.
Here are some examples of the raw picture I am working with [URL] ...........
I need to reduce the glare/reflection and the stones need to be vibrant.
Is there a maximum amount of tabs you can have?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have written some code that draws a graph. The graph starts at the 0,0 default of AutoCad Model Space and goes +X and +/-Y. I want to redraw the labels along the X axis every time the Zoom is changed by the user, to change the text height and density of the labels. I need to know the the current Zoom in relation to the actual extents of the graph. Ideally I would like to redraw the text as a result of the "zoom event" I don't know if there is such a thing or not.

Trying to write a srcipt to copy/paste a certain amount of text in these coordinates (ie.: 1.8520, 13.1085, 0.0000) in 100+ drawings to a file (ie.: 123.txt or 123.xls)
I'm stuck on the "paste to file", is this possible?
I'm using ScriptPro cause of the batch process.
How can I expand a border by the same amount in all directions? I have this: drawing and I want to expand the green border by 275 microns. Scaling from a base point doesn't work for what I want because then the new border is not the same distance from the old one all the way around.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running AutoCAD Mechanical 2010, and am curious if there is a way to decrease all the hole sizes on a given part by a set number, say .015.
I work for a sheet metal fab shop, we cut our parts with a waterjet and this requires us to undersize all the holes on the flat patterns by about .015 so they can be drilled out afterwards leaving a nicer edge finish in the holes. Some parts have hundreds of holes with multiple sizes and it can be very time consuming to undersize all the holes. My current method is to undersize one hole and then use the equal constraint to set the rest of the holes of that size to that same size.
Trying to export points to a csv with the object data that is attached to the point. I can use this and it works great for smaller projects, but crashes every time when I try to export a larg amount of points. The most it has successfully exported was 9000 points but on average it usually will get to 3000 points before i get a fatal error and everything crashes.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to add a specific amount/length to a dimension by using a formula? For example, say I wanted to measure a length of conduit between two fittings. The clear distance between the fittings is 48" and the conduit is recessed into the fittings by 3/4" on each side. If I dimension between the fittings, normally it would read 48", but I want it to read 49-1/2" so my shop people know what length to cut.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at a block which has multiple visibility states, 2 of which show a beam as a side elevation, where the beam can be stretched to give a length. This works well.
But I'd like to be able to have the beam stretching so the bottom flange of the beam can stretch relative to the top to give an angle to the beam end, and also have the lines representing the flanges (whose position will vary depending on the steel size) can also be stretched to give a neat cutoff.
Stretching the bottom of the bottom flange is easy, but I can't figure out how to stretch the inner lines? They would have to be moved a proportion of the distance which will vary between beam sizes/flange thicknesses, so putting in a fixed multiplication factor won't work. The mathematics to set a multiplication factor based on other elements of the dynamic block is easy, but is it possible to have such implemented on a varying basis?
Elevation showing what I want to do, and the block itself attached.
I have a pline include some radius, and it has so many perpendicular line on it, so you can see it in attachment.
What i want to do is, write numbers for each perpendicular line 1,2,3..etc,
and write distance for each line (for each mile stone).
I'm currently working on building up a library of 3D models of crane rigging for a new job. Specifically, I'm creating wire rope slings (like this 3/8" wire rope sling) but with less of an emphasis on visual detail and more on precise measurements.
In order to simplify the process a bit, I created an excel file to enter the basic four measurements of a sling (length, rope thickness, eye width, and eye length) which then calculates and displays for me the coordinates and measurements of all the objects needed to make the sling (arcs, lines, circles to sweep along those lines, etc.)
I realize now that I'm really just creating a task of endless copy/paste, and I'm looking for a better way to get through the process. How to make this work as efficiently as possible.
Is there some way that I could point AutoCAD to the Excel file and have it read all the coordinates and measurements to draw everything automatically? I also considered creating a line in Excel that would give output that I could copy and paste into a .scr, but I have never used any scripting in CAD before, so it would be new territory for me.
