AutoCad :: Clean Up DWG - All Lines Not In Same X / Y Plane
Jul 19, 2013
I have a very large and complicated file from a civil engineer with way more information in it then I need. I want to pull layers I need out of the civil dwg and into a new dwg.
A few problems with the civil dwg are, all lines not in same x/y plane, everything not at 0,0,0, layers need to be combined, layers need to be purged, etc
Would just copy and pasting the layers I need into a new file be a good way to approach this?

i have some overlapping lines which are in different layers. i want to clean them up, but wants the cleaned line to be remained in a specific layer. Can i know or change which layer will the cleaned line be remained in?
or can i simple select the duplicate line instead of deleting them?

I'm a CAD LT 2005 user and I'm working on a file sent to me by an engineer. I want to chamfer and fillet some lines but I keep getting the message that the lines are non coplaner. I'm not trying to draw in 3-D. I can't!! How can the lines not be on the same plane if I copy one to get the second?
Is this not what coplaner means?

I've mapped a grid onto a sphere. The latitude lines look fine. But the vertical longitude lines come out wiggly!
I've tried different sizes of the grid graphic. I've tried rendering preference quality and rendering the file.

I often draw freehand onto a piece of paper and then scan the completed sketch, to change size and clean up sketch lines and then re print...I've recently tried pant.net and i was wondering if there is a tool that cleans up extra sketch lines? as most of my designs are basically tattoo designs, i need to make sure the lines and everything is perfect before taking them to a tattoo artist?

I am starting with a scanned pencil drawing, which often has very broken, rough lines, no matter how dark or clean I try to draw. I am looking to turn these lines into clean, solid lines, of one uniform color, for use in another program which relies on completed loops and no breaks in lines.
I've tried tools such as Trace Contour, but this isn't doing quite what I'm looking for. I'm very new to Photoshop, so I'm hoping there is something I am missing. Something like the magnetic lasso would work wonders, if only I could brush that line instead of making a selection.

I hope some of you experts out there in the Photoshop world can assist me in some questions I have about older versions of Photoshop vs new, how to use with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx,
and possibly if I can get a student CS5 extended newer version for my son Tony's use if the ver 5.5 I have won't meet his needs?

I've successfully installed AutoCAD Architecture, and others, and was wondering if the files created directly in my C: drive under the folder 'Autodesk' can be deleted, (running short of disk space)?
They look to be, by their names, install files and I note what looks to be the actual applications, etc., are present in the Program folder, under another Autodesk folder, and Program (x86) for Design Review.

I use a tool which clears Autodesk references from the profile & this fixes a variety of issues.
Generally if the problem isn't seen when logging on as a different user then the profile is to blame.
what the profile does & why it needs to be 'cleaned up' so frequently? Some machines appear to be effected more than others - looking for reasons why this is happening.

Having problems with Civil 3D 2010 locking up, it did when I right click in the data shortcut folder to set my working folder. When it locks up and I close Civil 3D 2010, I reopen it and Civil 3D 2010 stops loading at Loading AECC BASE UI, The only way I can use it again is to do a clean sweep uninstall and reinstall 2010. A repair does not work.

I'm trying to work with some geometry imported from another software. Somewhere there's a problem with drawing precision and imported geometry gets slightly warped. For example in the attached file four points of bottom face should be in the same plane, but they're out by 0.0006mm (in this case). Similar imprecision is evident on all sides (this should be a kind of a flat panel-type object with grooves cut on sides). Is there a way to get autocad to merge faces on a solid or somehow clean it up?

I have a .Sat file I've brought into Inventor. The problem is that, as you can see from the attached zebra analysis, the faces are smooth and flush but I still have several unnecessary isolines. How can I get rid of them and I don't mean changing the view to have lines off I mean actually sealing the faces such that they erase the seam.

I just loaded 2008. With cleanscreen on, the close "X" button is grayed out and inop. Also, the minimize button which is still operable does not fully minimize AutoCAD. How can I get these buttons operable in cleanscreen mode?

I just got a new computer and installed Product Design Suite Ultimate x64. Every time I close Inventor, the window immediately stops responding, then will only go away if I stop the process. If I click "End Task" in the Task Manager, it will start to look for a solution to the problem, then immediately close. No error report displays. All other programs work with no issue. All of the settings are default as installed.
So far I have tried:
-Reinstalling with and without SP1
-Installing the latest Autodesk Certified graphics driver
-Using software graphics
-Running as Admin
-Launching in Vista and 2008 Compatibility Modes
Computer:
Lenovo S20
Xeon W3565 3.2GHz

I can't find the correct location to put the files from the scale list cleanup utility in 2012.
I know it's supposed to go in the default installation directory but it doesn't seem to be working in any folder for 64bit.

Re: 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.

how do I make straight lines? Horizontal Lines? Vertical Lines? Curvs? I read many tutorials and i am afraid that I am doing it the wrong way, my way is to drag a guide to where i want the line to be at and trace the guide with the brush tool...

I was wanting to create a script to go through and clean up a bunch of drawings in a given folder. I've written a lisp routine (cleanx) that works fine when you run it on a single drawing, but I'm having some trouble integrating it into a script. As it is currently, I'm experiencing several issues -
1) It prompts the user for an 'object' after finding 0 objects. It seems to be caused by the line,
(command "-layer" "u" "*" "t" "*" "on" "*" "" "")
in 'cleanx' based on the text window, but I'm not sure why it does that given that if I run cleanx directly it doesn't prompt me.
2) It ends with saying 'Really want to discard all changes to drawing?' which confused me as I use Qsave before I close, and then confused me further when I realized that the text window suggests that this prompt comes up after the 'open' command, and that if I type <Y> (exit without saving) then it asks me to select a file. Why doesn't it save, close and then open the next file automatically?

For one of our project, we have a very precise scanner that picks 3 points on a material to generate a plane.
(First point is always (0,0,0))
On autocad, I have to align different object with this plane.
I'd like to know if there is a method to directly align object with this plane?
(I can easily have the normal to this plane, and other informations, if needed)
We already try to calculate angles and make a rotation, but it's not very accurate.

I've got the second floor of a building which is an attic, which is over 2 different levels, each of which has its own xref. The roof is sloped. I would like to vary the cut plane in the same view, so that both xrefs are respectively cut at 1500mm above floor level. This would mean using 2 different cut planes, one for each reference.

I have been working on this framing plan and come to find out - much of the text and some of the lines are being entered off of the 0 - Z plane. get everything down to 0? Flatten does not work and I have searched high and low for a resolution, but I'm not getting anywhere.
I know the lines are mostly at 0, which makes it very confusing that the text would enter off of the 0 - Z plane.

I found much info on creating 3D objects above X Y plane (which is Z), but I haven't been able to find info on creating objects on the underside of X Y plane (sub Z).
I need to create objects above and below X Y.

When I pick the XZ plane to create a new sketch, then Look At it, the red origin indicator is pointing left, meaning I'm on the back side. How did I get over on the front side. Something with flip axis or something like that?

I'm using AutoCad 2010.
I have received some plan drawings that I'm supposed to do some additional work to. I've found that some of the lines and texts have different z factors. They look really messy in other views than plan view. Is there a command that can put all the work into the same plane, preferably to the xy plane, z = 0? I know there is a command that can flatten 3d views into a 2d drawing but that doesn't seem safe in this case. I know there is such a command in for example Rhino (flatten artwork) but in AutoCad I've never come across it.

In my current drawing, when I click into Model Space through a viewport and draw a leader, the leader is drawn with a Z coordinate of 0", but the text is being drawn at -9", so the leader is not associative and it doesn't have the tail on it. I just noticed it's also doing it in Model Space in the World UCS.
