View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on setting up a process where I can bring AutoCAD drawings into GIS. I need to assign an attribute to a Polyline or Line so that the attributes can be viewed in GIS. I've noticed there is a way to convert AutoCAD to a SHP or SDP however I'm not familiar with this process.

(left=original, middle=ROTATE, right=PROPERTIES)
When I rotate blocks using ROTATE command everything is fine, but when I rotate blocks using PROPERTIES my attributes get messed.
I need to rotate several blocks at once with PROPERTIES, because I don't have time to rotate each one separately.
The same thing happens when scaling blocks, but this was resolved using the command BSCALE in the command line.
I have been following instructions from a reliable source.
I have been asked to " Use the Create --> Create from Points, menu and click the 'plus' sign in the top left and select Points in Drawing..."
however the create tab in map 3d is not visible, i have tried searching for it, and also looked threw the tab menu and "create" is not visible.
How can i view the create tab?
When I open one particular drawing on computer "A" it contains a layer called "minor contours" and all of the information from that layer is shown in the drawing. When I open the same file on computer "B" all of the minor contours lines are missing. The major contour lines and text are visible but the minor ones are not found. The one layer that contains the minor contours is there and I can draw new informaiton on that layer and it is visible. Also, if I was to save the drawing on computer "B" and re-open it on computer "A" the minor contours are no there. If i was to save the file on computer "A" and re-open the file on computer "A" the contours are there.
Also, I have tried this on another computer and it reacts the same as computer "A". For some reason it is just computer "B" that is not able to see the files.
So you are aware all of the computers are using autoCAD LT 2013 and are running windows 7. They are also all hp models with almost the same internal hardware and software.
how to fix this so that computer "B" is able to see these contour lines and save the file without loosing the information.
I'm having a problem where in 3D/model mode certain objects are sometimes not visible. A lot of times they show when I'm zoomed out, but then they disappear when I zoom in on the model. It happens with AEC objects like windows (strangely it will often be one window and not the rest of the windows), but it mostly happens with 3D solids that would be in vanilla AutoCAD.

Reason being I am looping the blocks and creating attributes. sendcommand or SendStringToExecute occurs only after the .net command is finished. what I want is that it should sync attributes in the program itself.

BL:NAME C008000
DESCRIPTION C016000
I would eventually like to export several more attributes that my blocks have but I figure I should simplify it as much as possible for now. I do have a blank like at the end of the text script.
I've also attached my block that has the attributes I'm attempting to extract.
I have a block that is being inserted to my drawing via my .net program. The problem I am having is my attributes are centered, but the content coming from .net is not. If I change the attribute value in AutoCAD after the fact it goes back to being centered.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a map tool that can convert feature data from an SDF file or SHP to autocad block's with attributes data. My client just want blocks with attributes and dont work with sdf or similares, they extract the attributes and then work them in other software, so, i wonder if there is a autocad map tool that make the conversion from feature data SDF to blocks with attributes, that will make the work mutch more easier and fast.
Other question relational with blocks. How can we link block attributes and excell in real time, where i could change cells data in excell and the update happens in the open drawing and vice-versa?
And would like to know if there is a way to make this happen without vba tools or lisp's...just with map tools.

I'm a new at CAD Tutor but have been using autocad since R12 for DOS, I'm currently using AutoCAD 2011 MEP.
I received a file from an architect and the attributes don't burst and when I xref the file in to my drawing they don't show up. When I list the text, it says it is an 'Attribute Definition' but when I try and run attedit, the message says 'No object found'.
I believe the attribute problem is because the original file from the architect was made using Microstation and saved poorly to AutoCAD, but I'm not sure.

I am using the above code to read block attributes depending on the name. But now I need to read the active drawing (drawing will be open and should read from the active document). In the above code I have referenced interop.dll. without that can I retrieve the block attributes. How to read the block attributes from the active document.
I have a question about creating title blocks with attributes. I know how to create attributes and I know how to draw title blocks but when you create a title block with attributes does it have to be saved as a dwg when you do the wblock command? And what about the viewport? Do I have to create the viewport every time I insert the title block? Normally I just use the template I created and fill in the date, page number so on. I would like to automate this with attributes to reduce chances of mistakes.

I'm using visual studio 2010 and autocad 2012 x64. When I make (visual) changes to a form in the editor between debugging, for example the width of the form, the changes aren't visible on next debugging, it's still the same width as it was before. Same thing for font size, when changed the changes are not showing when debugging again. Almost seems like autocad remebers the previous layout of the form. A new control added between debugging shows up fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to automatically hatch all visible polygons of a drawing. My vision of how to solve this is basically:
- for each visible drawing do
- pick internal point
- hatch
- end for
I'm having trouble by automatically picking an internal point inside the polygon.
I've found these two methods : Crossing numbers and winding numbers [URL]....... but they don't seem to work if there are some polylines inside an polygon.
Is there another solution to my problem for automatically picking an internal point inside a polygon ? Can I automatically hatch an polygon without picking it's internal point ?
When working with an xref background, we are experiencing really bad lag, and delays when working with objects that are drawn on top of an xref. I have restarted the affected computers, restarted the server that all files are housed on, upgraded the network switch...with no results. Tasks that should take fractions of a second, are sometimes lagging anywhere from 3-15 seconds depending on what layers of the xref are un-frozen and visible.
View 9 Replies View Relatedseems like an awfully simple question, but i cannot figure out how to hide the viewport from a plot?
i am plotting an Arch D to PDF, and all looks good except for the viewport in the plot!
I received a drawing this morning, and it's paperspace looks great. However when I tried to view the drawings in modelspace it was empty. All the layers are on, when I click into the viewport (in paperspace) I can draw a line on the same layer as the block and that will show up in modelspace, yet no block.
Is this a feature of CAD, never experienced this before.
P.s. The blocks are available to insert in modelspace , however I'm just curious as to why I can not see the blocks that quite clearly exist in modelspace already.
Build a model, position it, turn on or off layers you want or don't want to be seen, create a new layout. then reposition, change layers and so on, create a new layout, maybe zoom in on a detail, create another layout and then export all to a PDF.
my problem is if you change layer visibility it affects all layouts , not what I would expect. Or if you zoom in, it still bases the layout on extent , all though display type does seem to hold on the layout it was set for.
so what would be the proper way of showing only relevant information on several different sheets.
DWG has viewports on layout tabs, but the viewports are not visible. The viewport can be open, edited as established, but if you pan or zoom, the paperspace layout moves and not model space. In model space, viewport frame does not highlight.
All layers on, unfrozen, and plottable.
Have done extensive internet search to find soution, found others with same problem, have found no one with a solution.
Not extremely CAD literate, basically self taught, but until this problem, I've been knowledgeable and resourceful solving problems.
some attributes you can double click and edit within the dialogue box, others you have to double click and they are greyed out in the box, you have to click the little button with ... on and edit in place on screen... why?
whats the difference between the block atributes? attached is an example...
Using ACAD2014LT. I want to use the first variable attribute value as a variable in subsequent attributes in the same block. This will be extracted and used for tag references in a PLC program.
Along the line, i know I can change the enclosed character ( ' ), but can I remove it?
