AutoCAD 2010 :: Force Attribute Position To Remain Fixed In Drawing When Moving Block Position

Jul 12, 2013

Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remaines fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?

I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: [URL] ........

What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other.  I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.

Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process.  It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.

AutoCad :: Position Of Attributes On Block Match Position On Another Block

May 15, 2013

Is there an easy way to ensure that the position of attributes on a block match the position on another block?

I just used the ATTIN command to upload a bunch of data to the block attributes on a drawing, and now the information is all over the place.

Instead of going through each one manually and repositioning the attributes (a VERY lengthy process), I want to use a "correct" version as a template of sorts to inform the other selected blocks of where to place the attributes and have it reposition the whole thing automatically.

Is this even possible?

AutoCAD .NET :: Determine 32 Or 64-bit Application?

Jan 7, 2013

I am using a dllimport from accore.dll, but the entry point for the method in the dll differs between 32-bit and 64-bit version of AutoCAD. How can I check whether the AutoCAD application is a 32- or 64-bit version, i.e. the dll is 32- or 64-bit?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Determine Unknown Tangent

Feb 14, 2011

Sometime in the past, I've drawn an arc, probably using an old deedplotting program, and imported it into Map3D.

I now have a new parcel that I'm plotting, and need to obtain the tangent of an arc on the parcel's perimeter.

Typically I draw a line, as close to the tangent as I'm able, and then toy with the bearings until I get it as close as I can.

This is a counter-productive means of finding the tangent bearing of an arc, and I'd really like to find a better way of doing this.

Is there a succint manner that I can pull a tangent line off an existing arc?

Using osnap this afternoon I thought I could do it, with the extension, but in testing it later, I found it was off by a good 2 or 3 degrees. While indeed a minor variance, I'd like to find a better way.

AutoCAD .NET :: Determine Units Of A Property?

Oct 24, 2012

I am selecting items and grabbing their DBObjects, and then reflecting on those objects to inspect properties of the object.  For example, I might have a DBObject that is actually of type Pipe, Duct, DuctFitting, Line, etc, so I am using TypeDescriptor reflection to handle various cases in as abstract a way as possible.

My first question is this: Is this the smartest way to grab all of the attributes of a give object?  Is there another call I can make the retrieve all of the attributes for a Pipe and a Line (to very different types of objects).

Second, when I see a property named Length and it is a double I know it has to be a length and that I can use the units from the drawing.  Is there a way to programatically discover this other than the name of the property and its type (double)?  In other words is there some metadata I could retrieve about any given property against which I am reflecting, or is there a smarter way to get these attributes which might provided said metadata?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Determine Elevations Along Slope

Dec 3, 2013

I need to project a surface/grading (or something of that nature) across my berm and have it intersect with the inside bank. This is better explained if you see the attached image. In the plan view you see 4 featurelines. Outside TOE, outside TOB, inside TOB then inside TOE. I need to project the outside TOE across the berm (shown in the section view) then create a new featureline where the line and inside slope of the berm intersect. Note that all the elevation shots vary as does the widths across the berm. What's the best way to do this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Interference To Determine Cut Shape?

Mar 1, 2013

Is there a way to use interference checks to determine what material needs to be subtracted away from other parts to get the clearance needed? (See Attached) The way I typically handle this is to project the lines from one part onto the sketch of another and proceed accordingly, however as you can see, it didn't work out well in this instance as the face of the part in question is not parallel with the sketch plane in the other..Therefore making the cut location inaccurate.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Determine If Any Viewports Are Active

Oct 26, 2012

How can I tell when a viewport (any viewport) in paper space is currently active.

This is actually related to a .NET programming error, whereby even when the drawing is in Paper space, if a viewport is active, I am unable to programmatically access the Layout.  I need to be able to, at a minimum, detect this condition, then switch back to full paper space (i.e. de-activate the viewport) if possible.

AutoCad 2D :: Determine Display Size Of Dimensions?

Jul 25, 2012

How to display the annotations properly. Perhaps this may just be a display or view setting but I beleive I have checked them all at least 3 times =).

Even in the video he explains all the things explained here but does not explain exactly how to make the dims and ext lines notate and display properly, in model or paper view (view port). I have tried many ways to create a view port in paper space and annotation several dimensions. I constantly get different text sizes and ext line scaled differently within the same view port.....even after I have locked it.

I am also confused about notating dims in the model space within the paper space view port vs on the paper space outside of the model space view port? Perhaps this has something to do with my issues?

Again it may be because I don't understand another function/setting impacting this well enough yet?? I have tried/used every variable in the Dimension Style Manager on the Lines, Text and Fit tabs to no avail.

AutoCAD .NET :: Determine If Mechanical Interfaces Are Loaded

As a part of an other recent topic (Interop 32/64 COM - Acad Mechanical),In VB.NET, how can I easily be sure to be in a Mechanical AutoCAD with every specific interfaces loaded (SymBBAuto, AcadmAuto...)?

I tried to get specific system variable like "AMVER" but this does not work.

I tried a "Try... Catch" while using "GetInterfaceObject", but this does not work at any time... sometimes I got fatal errors.I don't want to use the caption of the AutoCAD window, it is not enough reliable for me.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Numbers On A Diameter

Jan 5, 2014

Curious, I am trying to get numbers 'engraved' (extruded) into a diameter of a dial ring. I was able to create a couple of planes to create the marking lines around the OD, but am unsure how to add numbers and extrude said numbers (in the easiest fashion possible). I need to go from 0 to 90 on the longest marking that starts at 0° and is every 36°.

Also, that being said, with the little I tried and was unhappy with,  I created a text box at the 0° marker but the text was in the wrong rotation the marker and rotation box was greyed out. How can I resolve this...or is it even related? 

File attached.

AutoCad 2D :: Two Arrows On Diameter Dims

Sep 21, 2011

By some setting or default, when I dimension a diameter in Autocad 2010, I get a dim line that only has one arrow that points to one side of a circle, just like a radius. I'd like the diameter dims to have an arrow on both sides of circles.

I've been through the settings in Dimstyles. and didn't find a combination that made the desired change. I've looked at the properties for a specific diameter dimension and found nothing that worked there. I looked into block modifications using BEDIT and Properties, but I found nothing there either. While I may have overlooked a combination of changes in Properties, I tried a lot in there.

AutoCad 2D :: Diameter Extension Lines

May 6, 2013

I want to use diameter extension lines to span the diameter of the circle by forcing the dimension line to be on. When I do that, the arrows are on the outside of the diameter and I want them on the inside so I use the flip arrow command. What happens is the extension line opposite of the dimension text is sticking outside the circle and I want to get rid of it because it just looks bad. I dont see a way of turning off this little extension line. Every thing I turn off doesnt seem to do anything.
