AutoCad :: Create Vertical Lines From Point Reference

Oct 9, 2011

I am working on a horizontal directional drill with multiple survey points.

The survey points make up (what looks like an upside down dome) and they are all connected with polylines. I need to add straight vertical lines to each point. Of course I can do this manually, but I'm wondering if there's a way to automate it. I've tried Lee's point manager, but it seems the problem is there's no option for xstart, xend, and ystart, yend. I also tried created a block out of a line then importing that on the points with point manager, but I need all of the lines to end at the same position at the top. This doesnt work because as you can see the points aren't all equal from the bottom. I also cannot find a way to trim blocks. I was hoping blocks would have the same xstart and xend, etc. as a line, but they don't.

Feb 18, 2014

Is it possible with Xara to create vertical lines in a shape? Think of the white house dome, but from a top down view. I am trying to create some domes in my maps that have an effect much like that. I know with the contour tool I can create a dome with horizontal lines, but is there a way to do it with vertical lines?

AutoCAD .NET :: Using Block Reference As Point Symbol?

Jun 6, 2011

I create a set of points in a drawing and create each point as a block reference containing the point, text and probably something else. Also I would like to use different symbols for points and each of the symbols is defined as a block definition, and for each point I create a block reference according to the symbol type. The question is if is there any way to "combine" block definitions/references? I mean, I have common block definition for all points, whis defines somethin common for all of them. Also I have different symbols for each type of points and each symbol is defined separately as a block. But when a final point is created (containing common definitions and type-dependent symbol) I want to have it as a single block.

AutoCad :: Align Vertical Sets Of Lines

Aug 26, 2011

I am looking for a quick way to align vertical pairs of lines that are unequal distance apart and sometimes unequal length so that midpoint between lines are aligned. Right now I draw horizontal lines between each set and use a vertical line from one of these to align the other pairs (red lines on example).

If there is no easy way already incorporated in AC then my thought is a button that will draw lines on a specified layer other than the current layer and in a specified color, and another button to delete everything on that specified layer.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grip Edit Alignment Changes Reference Point Location

Aug 26, 2013

I know this.  I am aware.  This is why I avoid changing the reference point as much as possible if I have profile views or anything else dependent on my alignment.  I also have no problem with this dialog giving me a useful reminder.

My problem is this: if I want to make my alignment longer, and I grab the grip at the end of it and drag it to a new location, the reference point moves too!  Who in their right mind would want the reference point to move when adjusting the end? Personally  I wouldn't want C3D to ever move my reference point automatically.  I can have some sympathy with moving it if I am grip-editing the start of the alignment, or the tangent on which the reference point resides.  But I'm editing at the end of the alignment, on a different tangent.  Why would you move my reference point and make me have to go back and reset it to where it was?  How dare you throw your warning message at me for moving the reference point back to where it should be when you secretly moved it to a wrong location with no warning whatsoever?

AutoCAD .NET :: Programmatically Adding Vertical Dimensions Outside Of Extension Lines

Aug 10, 2012

I have programs that at some point or another create dimensions for what was drawn. When you have a vertical dimension that doesn't fit between the extension lines, it will either go up and to the right or down and to the left. 

I can change it manually by selecting the dimension and then right click and pick Dim Text position > Move with leader.

What I want to know is, is there a way to set the vertical dimension where you want it programatically?  I would like to put the vertical dimension down and to the right of the arrows if possible.

AutoCad 3D :: Unable To Draw Simple Vertical Lines In Z-axis

Apr 25, 2012

I'm working in ACAD 2012. I am at times, unable to draw simple vertical lines in the z-axis. Drawing pluming riser diagrams in 3D. Steps I am taking,

1) Opening the drawing.
2) X referencing a floor plan.
3) Changing the view using the cube to SW Isometric
4) Using the LINE command selecting a point, aligning the cursor with what seems like the Z-axis and entering the distance, heighten enter.

The line drawn is flat. This line can be seen as flat when rotating views. The only solution I have found is to use the "Reset Autocad Settings to Default"

Observations: Sometimes I am able to draw in 3D just fine, but something will happen in the middle of the drawing process that will now only allow me to draw flat. Also was never able to draw polylines in 3D is that how it's supposed to be? Used another computer with the same drawing, at first won't allow me to draw in 3D but after a couple attempts will eventually draw in 3D just fine. Tried starting from a blank template, no luck. Tried changing drawing space to 3D modeling and 3D basics, no luck. Also, when working drawings with existing 3D objects, I am able to snap to vertical point as a start point but cannot snap to a point on any other points on the object that at are at a different elevation.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Does Support Multiple Lines Of Vertical Setting On Mtext

Jan 15, 2013

I guess it does NOT support it because it seems that it does NOT work properly. For example, in case of multiple lines of “Horizontal” setting, it works properly like followings. But in case of multiple lines of “Vertical” setting, it does NOT work properly like followings.

Configure of “Horizontal”:
ABC
DEF
GHI

Configure of “Vertical”:
ABC DEF GHI

In my perspective, it should go downward like followings.

In my “perspective” of Vertical”:
A
B
C

D
E
F

G
H
I

We are making application software for importing DXF file from AutoCAD. If AutoCAD does not support multiple lines of vertical setting on mtex, our software also should not support it, I think. I want to know the specification for multiple lines of vertical setting of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM Reference Parts And Hidden Lines

I am doing a .idw drawing of an assembly that I have several parts that I do not want to appear in the BOM parts list. I have therefore set these parts as Reference parts however this has caused them to appear as "hidden type" lines in the drawing and are even visible through other parts.

Is there any way to make these parts appear in the drawing "as normal" and not be listed in the parts list?

Illustrator SDK :: Art Object - Getting Reference Point

Nov 21, 2012

When we select an art object in Illustrator we can get the (x,y) position and the size of the selected object in the control bar.

At the left of the x value, there is something called reference point. We have nine possible choices. (bottom-left, bottom, bottom-right, left, centre, right, top-left, top, top-right). Its name seems to be the reference point (from the tooltip).
 
Is it possible to retrieve the current choice of the user ?
