AutoCad :: Explode Blocks After Insertion?

May 7, 2012

I working with a LISP program which creates some assembly drawings on the fly. For certain parts of the drawing I INSERT other dwg files which of course become blocks. Once in the drawing the users are sometimes wanting to edit the drawings where the blocks are, which makes an explodeable block necessary. But since the drawings are not actually blocks until they are imported this is not an easy thing to resolve. The other thing to keep in mind is that this drawing process is completely automated. The user does not get a chance to interface with it until the drawing is complete. So asking the user to do something as the drawing is being created will not work.

AutoCad :: Edit Blocks Without Being Able To Explode It

Jan 19, 2012

I have a block of a survey from an outside company which was sent as a block.I am guessing that when it was creating, they un-checked the box that allows it to be exploded.

I would like to edit the block, and without being able to explode it, I have to go into the block editor to do so.Is there a way in block manager to change it so that I can explode the block?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Explode Blocks In 2011?

Jul 13, 2012

Is it possible in ACA2011 to explode a block, but control what layer the pieces go to?

I have a block for a closet rod and shelf , but it always has to be re-sized once in the drawing so  i must explode it.  since it was made on layer 0 it explodes to that layer and I have to change the items to the proper layer.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Inconsistent Insertion Of Blocks

Mar 29, 2012

I have several script commands that insert items such as title blocks (xrefs) and page boundaries (blocks). The base point and INSBASE for all files are set to 0,0,0. However the blocks will occassionally come in at different positions. In some cases I can repeat the command multiple times and each time the same block will inset at a different position in the same drawing even though the insert point is set to 0,0,0.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Block Rotate At Insertion

Jul 30, 2011

I have a simple block, I would like to do the following:

Type: Insert

Specify: Block Name

Click spot with cursor to have the block placed

Rotate the block for orientation

I know that if I use the Tool Pallets I can specify rotate on insert, but do not always want to use the Pallete.  I also know I can assign a rotation parameter to the block so I can grip and rotate after insertion.  Is there an easier way?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch From Insertion Point

Jan 11, 2012

I created a dynamic block with a polar stretch. I insert the block, then have to select the grip to rotate/stretch it. Can it be inserted and then rotated/stretched all in one action? The insertion point is at one of the line and the polar stretch grip is at the other end.

AutoCad 2D :: Over-sized Attributes On Blocks From Insertion In 1:40 Annotation

Dec 12, 2011

So a file sent to us was created in AutoCAD Map 2007 and we run AutoCAD MEP 2012 (and some on 2011). A Device ID Block was inserted in the Map program at 1:40 Annotative scale and was fine in their software, but when we load the files the attributes are enlarged to 40x their intended size. There are over 1,000 of these block in the plans and I've run out of solutions. I tried overwriting the block and it failed, and I also tried copying the oversized blocks into a file with the block predefined and that failed as well. At this point I am convinced I need to find or write a lisp for the repeated actions. I am crunching on the process for writing the lisp as I have written macros and VBA Functions for excel and understand the basic principles.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Insertion Point On Dynamic Blocks

Apr 23, 2013

I have a block I am making into a Dynamic Block. I will be adding in different visibility states. Depending on the visibility state the block would need to be inserted from a different point.

My question is, is it possible to add multiple insertion points to a dynamic block so depending on the visibility state it defaults to the correct insertion point?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Explode Attributes To Text - Turning Blocks Into Entities

Jul 27, 2012

I am running AutoCAD 2012 Electrical.  The source wiring diagrams I am working with have attributed blocks all over the drawing.  For my purposes, I dont need to export the data, but I do need to change the drawing.  When I use "Burst" or "Explode Attributes to Text" in the Express Tools menu, it does change the attributes to text. However, it throws all the data that is in in the attribute all over the face of the drawing.  This is extremely time consuming to delete them as some are micro small text. 

I need a command that will explode the attributes to text, turning the blocks into entities, as if there are no blocks at all.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Set Basepoint During Insertion Of Blocks

Jan 14, 2013

would like to set a base point during insertion of one block.When not insert by AutoLISP, just type "b" to be able to change the base point.

But when I'm using an AutoLISP that inserts a block, it does not work, it interrupts the sequence of routine.

Lisp:
 
(defun c:carrobox()(setq #clayer (getvar "clayer")) (if (= unidades nil)(setq unidades "cm")).....

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Multiple Items Placed On Clipboard For Insertion

Nov 27, 2012

is there any way that Autocad can have multiple items placed on the clipboard for insertion use like the Microsoft Office Word programme has (up to 24 inputs). This would be a good feature to allow going to one file, copying what you need and then switching to your current drawing file and placing them as needed

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Setting Parameter Values At Block Insertion?

Jun 16, 2011

how (if) I can set up my dynamic blocks so that I can set the parameter values as I insert the block, rather than with the grips afterwards?

To take a simple example; I have a block consisting of a rectangle, with 2 linear stretch parameters - length, width. Can I set it up so that when I insert the block, it asks for the length and breadth,just as it would for attributes.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Removing Nodes / Insertion Points From Objects Within Blocks

Dec 5, 2013

I have a block that contains attributes. When I select the block, you can see all the nodes/insert points from the attributes within the text. I was wondering if there is anyway to have the block only show the insertion point of the block and not the attributes? The attached image shows what I am talking about.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Insertion Point Of Attribute Changing Within Dynamic Block

Nov 21, 2011

I wish to create a dynamic block containing some attributes. These attributes are inside rectangles that can't be modified in length using linear parameters ; but the attribute has to be always in the middle of the rectangle. So, I draw a line inside the rectangle (in a hidden layer) and insert the attribute with center justification (not sure for the translation) that I place in the middle of this line ; then I put a coincidence constraint (not sure for the translation, but it's the first one) linking the middle of the line with the middle of the attribute.

But here's the problem : when stretching my rectangle, the insertion point of the attribute suddenly changes from "center" to "bottom left".

AutoCAD .NET :: Way To Explode A Dimension

Feb 20, 2010

I'm looking for a way to explode a dimension. I've tried using the Explode() method, but it just results in an eInvalidInput error. Is there a way to explode a dimension into objects?

The reason for this is that I'm using Autocad Architecture and I'm auto-labeling and dimensioning some items I am inserting into the drawing, however the 2d elevation drawing tool in Architecture automatically ignores text and dimensions, so I need a way to explode these into lines so they will show up in the 2d elevation drawings.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Unable To Explode

Jun 27, 2012

Has any experienced a situation where they were unable to explode a block created with the cut & paste command?

My block "A$C58A67B84" which is an anonymous name created by AutoCAD is a floor plan from a customer in which we need to make changes or additions to however this block acts like when it was created the "Allow Exploding" box was un-checked. I know that was not the case though, since all I did was a regular "Cut & Paste".

AutoCAD .NET :: Explode Items In Array?

Mar 28, 2012

I'm creating an array using a block from an existing dwg file on my drive. When i import this block on it's own, i can explode it to ownerspace with "bref.ExplodeToOwnerSpace();" but when i'm creating the array, i don't have this ability and i'm left with one of my blocks in the array exploded, and the rest not. How do i explode the blocks in the array? When i try to use acEntClone.ExplodeToOwnerSpace(); it doesn't exist and i only have the option of acEntClone.Explode().
 
The Original Block
Document acDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database; LayerTable acLyrTbl;

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cannot Explode Region

Mar 20, 2013

I am having one region entity which is not getting exploded.

This region is resultant of solid editing (bolean opearions) on some regions. When I use explode() function to explode this region programatically it returns status as 'eNotApplicable'. And if I try to explode this region manually using EXPLODE command in AutoCAD 2010 it gives message as 'Cannot explode REGION'.

I am not getting why this is causing problem in 2010 only. It is working fine in other AutoCAD versions.

AutoCad :: Cannot Move / Explode Block?

Sep 10, 2012

The original drawing was created in Inventor but i've never had such a problem before. I've been revising a drawing and to revise, i need to move a block 50mm from its original position. It's not allowing me to do so though.

As soon as i select move...it goes into "not responding". I can't explode it either....i can explode everything in the model space and once....but this leaves all dimensions as lines arrows etc.

I've even taken the same block into the drawing....and move/exploded it without any problems. In the properties bar....they are exactly the same except for the coordinates!

The really annoying thing is....i can't even delete and replace as it keeps crashing! There aren't any constraints either.
