May 30, 2013 Autocad 2011
wondering if its possible to turn off lines inside of nested blocks.
When we tried to do this inside a heavily layered and blocked drawing, it seemed to make the file unresopnsive, unloadable, and general "autocad freezing" issues. We Reconsitituted the entire file from the ground up and found that by NOT turning off these lines inside of nested blocks (ceteris parabis) the file works fine.
We like to turn these lines off becuase different teams are working on different parts of the drawing and we like to focus on one section by turning the other off. Is this possible? Is there a better way to do this?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Turning Off Layouts Tab

AutoCad 3D :: 2D Circle Jagged Lines - 3D Model Hidden Jagged Lines / How To Get Smooth Lines
Oct 5, 2012Re: 2D circle jagged lines, 3D model hidden jagged lines. How do i get smooth lines?
How do i get rid of jagged lines?
Circles and diagonal lines look rubbish when i am in hidden view which i use for simple 3d black / white (i think this is the best way?).
I have tried:
- viewres (1000, 5000, 10000, 20000 sightly better)
- regen
See examples.

Feb 9, 2014I'm busy making a map during which I've been working with creating a line around the shape of the island and then converting it to a editable mesh.

Jan 25, 2012My sister has some drawings that she want to scan and send to me. They use very thin pen ink. She then wants the pen strokes to be colorized and turned into water color strokes.As an experiment I tried using the "Artistic-Watercolor" filter on some thin lines and the results were lame.
All of the watercolor brushes I have seen online seem for comparatively wide stokes.Is there a filter or action that could turn very thin ink stokes into realistic looking watercolor strokes?

AutoCad 2D :: From Dashed Lines In Model To Continuous In Layout?

3 layouts (scale 1:1 = 1)

1 layout where general map is shown (scale is 1:5 = 0.2)

how can I show dashed line as continuous in single layout. Which settings for layout must be changed?
AutoCad 3D :: Getting Hidden Lines To Appear Properly When Viewing Model
Jun 17, 2011I am using Autocad 2000. When I view a 3D object from, say, a top view, I would like lines that would normally be hidden to appear as a dashed lines rather than simply disappearing. Otherwise, it's not possible to use a 3D model to produce a standard shop drawing. Without hidden lines appearing properly (not as solid but as dashed!) there is too much detail that cannot be seen. I have tried playing with many different settings and variables to no avail.

AutoCad :: Ghost Lines Print In PDF Which Are Not Visible In Either Model Or Paper Space
May 24, 2013I'm using AC 2011LT on a PC Every time I print to PDF or printer a line appears which is not visible on the model or paper space. It is even not visible when I preview the print before printing (again from model or paper). And on different layouts the line moves and sometimes doubles.
I have done all the regular things - all layers on, all unfrozen, all visible, etc, I've purged, regened, made a save as file, gone to another persons computer but still the same problem.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Animation With Shaded Solid Model
Aug 23, 2009I am trying to do some minor animation with a shaded solid model. I have tried mslide and a script... this make s very jerky, flashing animation.
I tried a lisp routine to move the object in small increments, again the motion is very flashy and slow, as it appears to struggle perhaps with the shading.
I noticed doing a move command, and moving the same object manually, dragging the object around the screen with a mouse makes for pretty smooth motion. Way better than what I was doing.... Is there a way to do this programatically?

The purpose is to show the proposed grading plan at a smaller scale so that we can give detailed grading plans to meet City Regulations per ADA codes. I understand that this can be accomplished by blocks and attributes, but when you have hundreds of spot elevations that can become cumbersome and less customizable than mtext. The large scale drawings can not have all of the spots shown or it would be too cluttered. But I want to be able to see all of my elevations when I am working in model space to ensure that all of my leaders and spots move together.
AutoCAD LT :: 2012 - Dashed Lines In Model Space Plot As Solid Line

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Move UCS To Front Of All Entities In Model Space
Jul 9, 2013I have code that will set and sae a current UCS to the front of an entity, of course, depending on the viewpoint. This is so, because we need all draft lines in front of 3D solids, such as dimensions, leaders for labels, text entities and so on (the reason for not putting these entities in paper space is another discussion ).
But I'll have on of two problems on numerous occasions:
1. The user forgets all together to run the command.
2. The user will pick the wrong entity that is in the foremost position in that view.
The code I have utilizes the following:
(setq ent (car (entsel)))
(vl-load-com)
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object ent))
(vla-getboundingbox obj 'LowerCorner 'UpperCorner)
(setq LowerC (vlax-safearray->list LowerCorner))
(setq UpperC (vlax-safearray->list UpperCorner))
Then I'll analyze the X, Y and Z of both the lower and upper corners, and set my UCS to whatever is proper.
Is there a "LowerCorner" and an "UpperCorner" for all entities. I can't see "VSMIN" and VSMAX" working because the elevation of the returned coordinates is always "0,0"

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Delete Objects In Model And Paper Space
Feb 14, 2013Is there a quick way to simultaneously delete all objects in a layer if these objects are found across several layout tabs and model space?
At the moment, I'm getting the objects using: (setq a (ssget "X" '((8 . "Revision"))))

to delete them, only the the objects in the current layout or space are getting deleted...
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Model Space To Display As Plot Style?
Jun 28, 2012Is there a way to get model space to "display plot styles" through a lisp routine or a script?
i'm currently setting up a whole bunch of custom tool palettes for the company I work for and instead of the icons displaying in their actual colour (at the moment they're green, which doesn't show up very well on the light grey background), I'd rather they show in the plotstyle assigned to the individual dwg's.
call up the page setup manager (while in model space) and click modify, you can then check the radio button to "display plot styles" in the top-right corner. But when you have around 100 - 200 blocks to change, that process can be rather time consuming and cumbersome!
AutoCAD Architecture :: Usually Visual Style Behavior When Switching Between Model And Layout Tabs
Aug 20, 2010I have just started working with Architecture 2011, so perhaps there is some strange issue at work here, but I haven't come across it previous releases. Whenever I switch from model tab (in 2D wireframe) to a layout tab and then back to model space, the visual style automatically switches itself to "Wireframe" or "3D Parallel Project", instead staying 2D Wireframe. It is highly annoying as I have to hit the 2D Wireframe button on the Visual Style Menu everytime a switch. This also occurs everytime a hit the Save button. It won't stay put in the visual style that it should.
