AutoCad 2D :: Measure Right Angle Described By Two Points
May 21, 2012I am doing takeoffs from a CAD drawing. Without getting too deep into it, I have one origin point, and then I have 200 or so points around the origin. I'm trying to find the fastest way to get the X offset, and the Y offset between each point and the origin.
Right now I'm drawing two lines to connect each point to the origin, then using PROPERTIES on the lines where they meet to get each length - I need to be able to see the numbers on the screen for a second while I copy them into a database. But I'm wondering if it would be easier to write a script, or if there happens to be a tool that could do this with fewer clicks.
AutoCad 2D :: Measure Angle Between Two Lines?
Jul 7, 2012Several people recommended DIMANGULAR. I have some concerns using this method because it is dependent on the precision of angular units in the drawings DIMSTYLE settings. For example, if a drawing file's DIMSTYLE has a precision set to the nearest whole decimal degree or only shows degrees and minutes but not seconds then the angle may appear at a certain angle, let's say perpendicular at 90 degrees. But in reality the angle might be slightly less than 90 degrees, if its off by a few seconds.
I learned an alternative way by selecting both lines and typing the LIST command. The Angle in XY Plane will show the measurement for each segment in bearings, not azimuths. I simply find the difference between the Angles in XY Planes for both lines to determine the angle. I have a few concerns with this method.
1. How do you add subtract bearings measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds? For example, N 76d3'18" W and N 13d56'42"E? I "think" there are websites that can do this? Can this be done directly in AutoCAD through QuickCalc or some other tool?
2. Lines, but not polylines, have Angles in XY Planes in the LIST command. Is this because AutoCAD assumes that polylines will be composed of more than one segment (and each segment with a possible different angle)? Is there anyway to measure the angle of a single one-segment polyline?
Is there a DIFFERENT way between the two methods I just described to measure the angle between two lines (and two polylines) in AutoCAD?

View 6 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Add Angle Measure Lines To Image
Feb 6, 2013I use it to measure angles of micrographs (images taken with a microscope) --- the angle measure tool is great, and easy to use! I would like to be able to save the angle measure "rulers" into the image, for documentation purposes. Is there a way to incorporate the angle "ruler" in a layer or overlay in the image so that I can save a new file with the ruler "burned in" (for lack of a better term).
I will also be adding the text of the resulting angle measurement --- it would be cool if the result of the angle measure could be automatically added as text to the image (preferably in a different layer than the original image). I can type it the result with the text tool.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Splitting Curved Faces Into Two Faces?
Jan 11, 2013i 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:

Oct 5, 2011Is there a quick way to rotate an object to match an angle without knowing what the angle is? I am using AutoCAD 2011 now. I was using 2007 and I had an add on command the would rotate an object using a base point and picking the two lines that make up the angle, and it would match the angle you wanted. I can not get that command to load in 2011.

Jul 25, 2012I have a property line that is N 36d19'52" E but needs to be N 12d52'18" E. The obvious and calculated rotation angle would be 23d27'34" but when I rotate the line by the calculated angle it doesn't rotate to the right angle. It's off by 0d11'10"!? When I draw a line by bearing at N12d52'18" E and inquiry the angle between the property line and the drawn line the angle difference is in fact 23d27'34".

AutoCAD Map 3D :: How To Measure Area (sq Meters) In WGS84
Sep 19, 2012We are able to measure distance in meters between 2 points using COGO tools. Though, when meassuring areas (command area) even setting units to meters it shows: "Area = 0.00000073, Perimeter = 0.00343123" which is not expressed in meters. The area in meters is around 8900m2. We are using latitude, longitude LL84 (WGS84). Is there a way to easily measure area over the map using this coordinate system?

Apr 2, 2013Is there any place in Inventor which shows the dimensions width / height / length of an object?
Please take a look at the attachment M3.jpg first.
I want to measure the overall height of this object. This is just a simple object to show my problem. I want to use the ruler tool of Inventor 2013 to measure the height, but I cannot make it.
I click the bottom line of thy cylindrical part, then I want to click the top most point of the half sphere, but I cannot.
Inventor always highlights the whole half sphere so I cannot specify the second measurement point exactly.
Why I cannot measure what I want to? The only solution is that I put the object in front view an draw a sketch and measure the sketch. What for I have a measurement tool?
AutoCAD .NET :: Measure Perpendicular Distance Between 2 Polylines?
Dec 20, 2013I need the perpendicular distance between 2 polylines. If I was doing this manually, I would draw a line perp from 1 side and extend it to the other side, check it's length, and delete it. These are pipeline r/w's that quite often have variable width, and are not always parallel.
I am asking the user to select the pline 1st (GetEntity) to get some object data. Then I prompt for a point on the pline where a block will be placed. The block contains an attribute definition for the width. I check to make sure the point is on the pline. I was hoping I could get the user to select a point on the opposite side and force that to be perp. That would give me the width but it doesn't work. I have looked at GetFirstDerivative and rotate that 90 but the examples I found use a certain length. The perp length is what I need to determine.
