AutoCad :: Drawing Lines And Related Tools
May 20, 2011
I draw a rectangle, and I want to draw a line coming out from the rectangle. Normally I would use OSNAP to get midpoint and endpoint, but this time I want to draw it from any part of the edges of the rectangle.
How do I get the cursor to "snap" to the lines of the rectangle? Similarly, I would like this function for the MOVE tool as well, I used this method in Sketchup before and really liked it a lot.
How do I achieve this in AutoCAD? I tried Nearest, Perpendicular, but they don't work as well.
edit: just found out my subject line is not related .

I'm trying to write a VBA macro (for Inventor 2010) that would have to work on drawing .idw files that are generated from a given component.So when I have an open assembly document, I want to go through all component occurences and work with the associated drawing.
There's a built in command in Inventor for that, in the context menu, something like "Open drawing" (mine is german, so not sure how it's called in english), which does this. It opens the drawing of the given part. From this I assumed, there must be a reference within each part, that points to the referencing drawing.
But I'm not able to find this information anywhere within the properties/objects of any component.how or where can I get this information out of the components?

Having a lot of issues manipulating points on paths in Illustrator CC - this is a fundamental feature of creating vector graphics and it's very annoying I'm paying for this and it's just not working. Eating up a lot of my time simply because I can't select or convert or add the anchor.

Total buffoon when it comes to getting GIMP to do what I want to do. I'm just practicing with making maps, black lines on a white background, and I've run into some issues I'm wondering if I can get rectified.
1) For whatever reason, the line weight of everything has shifted throughout the file, ending with some lines lighter and grayer than others. Is there a way I can get GIMP to trace all the lines in a uniform black, with uniform thickness?
2) I have tried locking the white background, but often when I select and move my black lines, if I don't click in just the right spot it moves the white background instead, which is really, reeeaaaly aggravating. How Do I get that background to be completely untouchable?
3) In trying to colour the image, I've run into problems with their being a white outline between the colour and the black lines. I think I need to sharpen the image or somesuch? How can one correct this issue?
4) Is there anyway to convert the black dotted lines of the paths tools into straight black lines, in regards to an older file? If not, is there an easy way to trace them?
5) I find the scale too tends to make my image too jagged. I want to take a section of my map, move it too another file and enlarge it to do detail work - what's the best way to do this in order to have a clear image?
6) Any way to translate an image from a MErcator Projection ot a Winkell-Trippel projection, one that works on a Mac?

I cannot seem to install the SDK Drawing tools with Revision Cloud. When I click the msi file, the installer says it was successful, but I cannot find it on any INV ribbon and it is not shown in the list of available add-ins in Add-In Manager. Really need that revision cloud!
Inventor 2011, Win7 64bit.
I can load it on our Inv2011 32 bit WinXP machines, however.

I need to draw a thin white line across an image, infact several lines in different places. The lines need to be permanent. I want to key in the number of pixels for the the thickness of the line and if possible key in the position of the line. I know I can use a new grid line to position a grid line, but how do I then turn that grid line into a permanent line where I can decide the width and colour? I'm trying to refrain from the long way round of zooming up to 1600% and physically using the rectangular marquee tool then filling the rectangal with colour.

I can no longer make changes to one of my gimp files. Everytime I select a tool such as pen, pencil sprbrush, the mouse icon changes, but when i try to draw nothing happens. It seems like all the other tools work, i tried the following
1. made sure the correct layer was selected
2. exit gimp and re-run it.
I'm stuck.

I'm using GIMP in my own language so the tools names translation might not be 100% accurate.
Been using GIMP (2.8 and just switched to the latest one) for a while now, it's been nearly a year on this PC (Windows 7 64 bit, relatively recent hardware, 8 Gb of RAM, etc.) and it's worked smoothly up until a couple of days ago when it stopped working as intended all of a sudden for some reason.
Whether I use my Wacom tablet or the mouse none of the tools that normally allow you to draw (pencil, brush, airbrush, etc.) work anymore (cropping, distorting the image and the likes work fine though), doesn't matter if it's a brand new document or an old file.
The funny thing is that when I go to the "Edit" menu it'll allow me to rollback and undo whatever I did with the aforementioned tools, even though there's no trace of it on the empty canvas itself.
I tried to uninstall and install the software back but it didn't do the trick.This is really irking me as I'm working on an illustration that is due in a week and I basically had to stop working on it altogether because I haven't been able to get rid of this problem (also I can't seem to find anything about this specific issue on the net).

I have a part called rectangle.ipt (simply a rectangle in it).
I have to creat another part, called rectangle_holes.ipt. This one, is the same as rectangle.ipt, same dimensions, but has holes in the rectangle.
Is there a way that theses 2 parts could be related, so that if the dimensions of rectangle.ipt changes, rectangle_holes.ipt automaticaly changes?

How can I fix my LT so that I can draw fluid lines? At the moment the cursor jumps in increments across the screen as I move my cursor.
I can draw circles and rectangles fine (smooth, no lag) but straight lines are a nightmare. This also follows true with the "first line" of an elipse which is very jumpy.

I have tried unsuccessfully to draw lines using bearings as a surveyor draws them. I have seen a number of posts here and on the web, but they relate to northern and easting’s, but as you can see on the attached PDF from a surveyor they have used only bearings. I’m not a surveyor, my background is mechanical so this is all new to me. what units and settings I may need to change in order to draw using these bearings. I’m using Autocad 2012, and the attached PDF relates to some blocks of land in Australia (just in case that makes a difference in the settings)

I use auto cad for work and the other day I was drawing and it accidental got switched to 3d view and I noticed that all of my lines are in 3d it only happens in the company template because if i make a new drawing the lines are flat. i have tried flatten but when i start drawing again the same thing happens.

I am having trouble with drawing lines in decimal. My length is Decimal, insertion scale is feet. So say I wanted to enter 21 inches in feet. I just click to draw my line, then use 21/12 as my input for length. That works fine. But when I have a line that I want drawn at 21.5" (I enter 21.5/12), it won't work, saying point or option keyword required.

I have two drawings: one with lines, and one which includes maps (raster image) and point cloud of latitudes of the same area (elevation in meters). I'm trying to copy these lines from the other drawing into the map-drawing, but when I'm trying drag and drop, the mouse doesn't even go to the other drawing. I also made a block of the lines and tried to insert it, but it doesn't work either.

I'm trying to draw a line that is parallel to the one I've already drawn. It works fine (Osnap on) when I draw a whole new line and then draw a parallel line. But when I try to add a parallel extension to an old line, it doesn't work. The old line is located in another layer, but I tried to copy it to the same layer and it still doesn't work.

Is there a way (either thru Inventor or Vault) of print ALL idw (drawings) files related to an iam (assembly)?
Inventor (and Vault) are capable of creating and managing a BOM of the iam files and would think that it would be reltivly easy to query this bom and "find" all the associated idw files and batch print them. Possibly with the option to select the "levels" to dril down to (All, Top Level, Sub Assemblies within the iam, etc, etc)

Cant figure this out - I create a sketch in a drawing, but I cant see the lines as I'm drawing them. The lines are on a "solid" layer set to red as defined in my standard. The background of my drawings is black. When the line command is done, the line appears and it's red. Problem is I cant see it as I'm sketching. Is there any way to modify this? Can I have the line appear red (or white) as I'm sketching?

If I draw lines between nodes and then list the lines it gives me slope distances. how can I set it to draw 2D lines but still have 3D nodes? I want my points to display the correct elevation but when I draw lines connecting them I want the line to be 2D so when I list them I get the correct bearing and a horizontal distance.
