AutoCad :: Create Specific Hatch For Bricks And Mortar
Nov 25, 2011
I am trying to create a specific hatch for bricks and mortar. I have no problem creating the standard brick hatch but when I try to put mortar around the bricks that is when I get unstuck!
My horizontal lines and spaces appear to be okay but my vertical lines are all over the place, very confusing!!
I have attached my workings (have not yet got to the 4th line of code though!)
I am completely new to ilogic but would like to make a rule in my idw file that change the hatch pattern in a section of a specific material.
Short Version:
I have an aluminum extrusion part. Material is set to Aluminum-6061. In any section view of this part I want the hatch to be ANSI 31 with a rotation of 45 degrees and a scale of .02 How do I do this?
I've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.
1> Any lisp routine that does what I describe? or 2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?
I want to draw a wall with irregular bricks. Meaning these are old elongate bricks that are not exactly rectangular and are not all of the same length.
I am working on a drawing (not originally created by me) and cannot create any hatches at all. If I make a closed shape, select Hatch, and select an interior point, nothing at all happens. No hatch is created, no error messages are generated. The command simply appears to finish as normal but doesn't actually create anything.
Usually, I chamfer a simple box by creating it, converting it to an editable poly, selecting the edges, and adding a chamfer in the 'Modify' tab. Now, my problem:
The Lego fan community has developed digital Lego parts [URL]..., which use the correct dimensions, but have unreastic chamfering and geometries (eg, an octagon is used to depict a circle. LDview, a program for viewing LDraw files is able to export these parts into .3ds (and .stl) files - links below. However, I am unable to chamfer or modify these parts using my usual method.
I am trying to add some red bricks similar to the ones shown on the house to this dirt path.
I tried adding a layer, made it an overlay, and copying and pasting the bricks onto the dirt area. That didn't work. Tried using the clone tool and that didn't work.
I want to know how to make my own hatch from design till puting it in (*.pat) file. for info, I know how can I download such file and upload it in AutoCAd among (CUSTOM) or (OTHER PREDEFINED) hatchs as wel, or make it by using (SUPER HATCH in express tools). But to creat PAT file that what I want to know.
I need to create a cylindrical hatch. Is that even possible with AutoCAD 2013? It's for a non-rendered drawing so it needs to be a hatch, not a material etc.
With transparencydisplay=1 I create hatch with transparency (for example) 80%, I save file and I close it. When I re-open the same file hatch have transparency 0%. What's the problem?
I have a drawing with contours every 1m and according to the area that I have to display in my layouts I have to display contours either 2m, 5m or 10m.
How is possible to create labels for only this elevations and if it is possible, create several labels along one of these contour with specific interval.
I created surfaces in Civil 3d 2011 for existing and proposed and I did a surface volume between them. Is it possible to create a specific contour in the volume surface that represents the fill volume elevation (daylight line I think)? My proposed surface is a flood water elevation and I need to define the boundary at that elevation.
how to create a selection set based on a specific Multileader style? I can currently creating a typedvalue array to define the filter criteria, but cannot find the DXFCODE for the Multileader style.
I'm working on some renderings for homes, and I need to plase some bricks over an arch on a window. I've got a pic of bricks all lined up, but they are straight, and I need them to bend around a curve.
I'm trying to create a hatch pattern to match a floor tile. I want a 24" long x 6" wide plank tile. The tiles should be offset from each other 8" (a 2/3 1/3 pattern lengthwise). My problem is I only can get a 6" offset (3/4 1/4 pattern).Here's the code I've got:
I am trying to create a hatch for board and bat siding. There are parallel lines at 1.5" apart that repeat every 8". When I try to use the hatch I get the following message:
Bad pattern definition file: Missing parameter on line 8. 90, 0,0, 8
I'm trying to create a simple 2x4 ceiling grid hatch for layout planning, but AutoCAD keeps giving me an error when I try to use it.
Here's the custom hatch that I wrote at the very end of the acad.pat file: *CGRID, 2x4 grid 0, 0,0, 0,48 90, 0,0, 0,24
When I load up ACAD, it shows the hatch in the selection, but after I've defined the area and I try to apply the hatch, I get this error in the command line:
I've been using Autocad 2007 for the past 5 months without these issues, then I had to create a new account on my computer at work and now EVERY time I create a hatch it turns into this dead mass. Yes, I've tried creating an associative hatch, and no, I can't edit them either.
I'd like to run one command that allows the user to draw a polygon viewport then sets that VP to 1/8"=1'-0".
It can be nearly accomplished with a macro, but falls just short because the polygon vp requires an unknown number of clicks, so there is no way to know how many pauses for user input in the macro.
I have double line pipe drawings but i have to change distances between of this lines in entire drawing and i was thinking that maybe there is a lisp code which can create new double line according to my specify dimensions ...
example :
Distance between lines : 100 mm
------------------------
------------------------
here is what i want to do :
1. select double line
2. specify new distance ( for example 200 mm)
3. lisp will create center line middle of the selected lines ( maybe it can ask me that this center line will be permanently or not )
4. lisp will create new double line from this centerline according to my specific distance
5. new double line layers will be the same with selected old double line
and this lisp has to work for double arc or quarter circles too.
