AutoCad :: Draw Splines Creates A Jog Or Tail In Drawing
Sep 13, 2012
Sometimes, not in every drawing, but in certain drawings when we draw a spline it creates a jog or tail.
So when we do the command spline and click the start point then move to do the next point it will have this jog or tail at the beginning of the spline. sometimes we get it at the beginning and sometimes at the end.
How do I make it stop? is there a setting that I need to change? We typically work on drawings from Architect / Engineers.

I need to export faces on a part. When i do this in either DWG or DXF if creates splines in the 2d drawing. Then i have to go back and redraw all the radii. Is thier a way to convert or export without getting splines? Our machine won't recognize the face drawing unless i redraw all the circular segments.

When I open an drawing, AutoCAD opens *two* drawings, the one I wanted *plus* a new one (called drawing 1.)Why does this happen and can it be prevented?

I'm new to VBA in AutoCAD I've played with Inventor VBA a bit, but the API appears to be drastically different.
I need to manipulate existing splines on a drawing by joining them together via VBA. To achieve this manually, the user would use the command SPLINEDIT and go from there. What is the equivalent, or how do I access the command in VBA?

If I have imported a large multi-spline object, is there a way to bust it up into separate splines easily -- without having to detach each one individually?

What setting controls the rotation of leader tails? Specifically in point labels. My dragged point labels maintain their orientation, as I want, with Plan Readability set to False and Dragged State Components - Display set to As composed. But the leader tails are horizontal to the view rotation.

I am trying to make a button such that if the user clicks it, AutoCAD will automatically draw a border that just includes all entities in the drawing.(Something) like the viewport border in the paper space)
Approach #1: The first approach could be zoom extent and draw a border around the zoomed view. how to zoom extent and draw a polyline, but can't figure out the exact size of zoomed view.
Approach #2 (optimal) : If the entity is a right circle and my AutoCAD window is not in square shape (for example, the AutoCAD window is maximized and my monitor is wide-screen monitor), Approach #1 will create redundant spaces at the right and left side of the circle entity. So if I could get the grid coordinate of far left, far right, top, and bottom entities, I can draw the optimal border around all entities in the drawing.

I am trying to draw a "u bolt" in an isometric drawing. I found one solution, that served the purpose of giving the customer the general idea of the stands we are trying to sell them, but I'd like to know if there is a way to draw it properly.
I have attached a pdf to show what I came up with. Pipe Stands.pdf The only way I could think to get it to work (look right) in isometric view was to draw to vertical lines, make an arc across them with the elipseisocircle, and then use the path array to fill the U shape with the isocircles. This keeps the tubular shape, and the number of circles resembles bolt threads.
My problem is that the u-bolt is only threaded on the ends, the arched part should be smooth. Since this u bolt is to clamp fiberglass pipe to the stand, those threads (in my drawing) could cause damage. In this instance, I just explained this in the email to the customer, but I'd like to find a way to draw it proper.

Whenever i draw a new line, hatch etc - Autocad draws the object with a certain lineype. Then after i draw the line i have to manually click the line and set it's linetype to "By layer". It doesn't matter which layer i set as current, it never draws by layer, allways by this other linetype.
Using Cad 10 Architecture - But tried opening the file on other versions aswell, with the same result.

I was trying to model the tail fin(vertical Stabilizer) for an aeromodel design. I inherited a dwg file of the tailfin with some poorly defined ribs that shape the fin. The fin tapers back and up.
My problem - I need to put in a brace which starts from the front of the lowest rib and goes back and up to the front of the topmost rib. and a pair of slots similar to the ones already modeled but further up towards the front. I hoped that a sweep feature on the assembly would do it but i am unable to create a rail and constrain it properly.
Another issue i had was to model a plastic film covering for the fin. An aeromodel uses a heatshrink monokote film. How would i model something like that in inventor.

I've been using cad for a while but only for simple layout drawing for parts I need made.
Autocad 2010 I want to set up a drawing to draw some manifold adapter plates in millimeters. I can set it up for inches but I'm having a problem setting up for mm. I start a new drawing and select the template initial setup-manufacturing-metric.dwt In drawing unitDecimal and precision is set at 0.000 Units is set to "millimeters"
I draw a circle to test it. I draw a circle of 5 radius. Should be a circle 10mm in dia, correct? But it is huge, my guess is that it's 10 inches. I'm basing the size on what is printed out when I set my print to no scaling, 1:1, plot window. The same as I have for all the drawings I do in inches.
Second question.
How can I get circle centers to show on prints without actually drawing them or putting in dimensions?

How do I get the draw order to stay the way I want when I close and reopen a drawing? I even think that a couple times, without even closing and reopening the drawing, the draw order has flipped back to the way I don't want it after changing it.

how to make an tail effect of an image that looked like it had moved from point A to point B, leaving behind the tail line in a form of a ghost effect. I was wondering about making a curve line that start small at one end and become bigger at the other end...
For example, a fly that is buzzing around and we would see the line but instead of a line, it would be a shadow of a fly along the way.

I want (no need to!) erase the long tail 'f' on my this logo. So I added a white text box and filled it in. (see figure 2) That worked until I wanted to put the logo on a colored background.
I originally did this on Microsoft Word. The Illustrator people told me that this would work and so I spent a boatload of money this stay at home mom does not have.. and now I'm awfully frustrated because 14 hours later....lots of tutorials later. I'm back to square one.But, I did learn a lot of info that I don't need to know.Â
Â
Besides the fact that I looked at about 5,000 different f's in fonts.

I know you can change the leader style and the text style in a weld symbol...I can't seem to find a style for the parts?
Specifically I'm trying to change the color, I'd like the enirety of my weld callout to be a different color...just for visually tracking and locating on the drawings.
So if I change it to orange...right now the leader and text are orange but the weld symbol itself and the tail are still black.

I have a drawing of a map full of polylines and some splines. I want to somehow select or show only the splines for then to convert them into polylines to make them ready for laser printing.
The drawing has thousands of lines so selecting one by one to see if its a spline will take forever.Â

I have topo contours that are splines. I want to flatten them so they become polylines that I can give elevation values. When I flatten some, portions of the topo lines become circles.
How do I fix it?

I am using Autocad Map 3D 2011. I am looking for a way to edit multiple splines at once similar to the multiple pedit command. I need to convert them to plines. I have been selecting them one at a time, typing p, enter enter enter, selecting the next one and so on but it would be a time saver to be able to select multiple splines and have the "convert to pline" command work on all of them. As it is, if you select more than one it only acts on the first selected.Â

Is it possible to match the ends of two splines (whose end points are coincident) such that there is tangency between them. This would require the end control vertex (CV) and preceding CV for each spline to become aligned? I have explored the SPLINEDIT options and see there is a FIT DATA option that leads to TANGENTS option but I'm not sure how this works and whether it will give the desired effect.

Got a strange problem when copying geometry that contains splines between drawings.
The image below shows the results, the white dashed line shows the copy result, the blue dots are the control points, and the red line shows the copy input.
It seems that the control points are correct, but the tangencies of those points, or control vertices are WAAAAAY out.
I also get the same result when inserting the geometry as a block..
