AutoCad :: Place A Small Perpendicular Line In Specific Length And Put Their Coordinate To Excel Sheet

Jan 28, 2012

At center line I want to place a small perpendicular line in specific length and put their coordinate to excel sheet(export coordinates).

I have already two programs for this, one for placing objects on curve with specific length and 2nd for pick & export coordinates to excel or other type of file. but this is very lengthy process & need too big time. but I think it cab be done in a single command written in lisp.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Change Length Of Line Based On Length Of Attribute

Jan 8, 2013

Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?

I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum).  But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Line Length Follow Content Length Of Attribute

Mar 16, 2012

I was wondering if there is a way with DB's to have a line "follow" or "grow" with the content/value length of an attribute. Maybe some method of linking the attribute width to length of the line? Essentially, it would work just like turning on the underline setting when typing in mtext editor (or any program with an underline option for that matter), expect that the line could be placed anywhere, and would not have to reside directly below the text.

AutoCad :: Can't Draw Correct Arc Length

Jan 22, 2013

I have been trying to draw an arc with exact length and diamter but with no good result. arc.png You can see the image. Now, I want the diameter to be 137 mm and that was easy to draw To draw an arc is not difficult BUT I can´t seem to find how/where to input the exact length that I want. In my case I want it to be 297 mm and NOT 299.62 as shown in the picture. Also ONE extra question: Why can´t I use Properties to change the length of this arc?

AutoCad :: How To Make Third Line Relative To Second Line So Angle Is 75 Degrees And A Certain Length

Oct 27, 2009

I have been practicing using a older book(copyright 1990) and it has some decent exercises in it. I was able to do this one but it seems I can"t find the proper way to do this..First drawing a line a certain distance..ortho on,click the first point anywhere,move curser to the left and click again. that gives me a line at 180 degrees at what ever length..Line command again starting at the second point of the first line..after clicking that point,I type in @2.38<150 that gives me a line2.38 long at 150 degrees..now how do i make a third line relative to the second line so that the angle is 75 degrees and a certain length..the picture shows what I am trying to draw..using the polar cordinates you get an angle based off the UCS( which is set at world) when you try to draw the third line ..that makes the angle between line 2 an 3 not the angle that I want..To make the drawing,I rotated the ucs -30 degrees..But there has to be a better way than that..

Nov 2, 2011

Is there a way to dimension in AutoCAD LT?

For example: I draw a line and when I dimension it, it comes up as 9.32, but I want that line to be 5.1. Is there a way to dimension this line? Is there code that I should be familiar with? I need the line to be exact dimensions, not just change the number.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cursor Change To Draw Line But Line Doesn't Appear

Dec 5, 2011

I have a problem with a recently downloaded version of Inventor.  When I start a new drawing all I get is a blank blue screen instead of one with a grid display.  If I start a line I can see the cursor change to draw the line but a line does not appear.  I don't know if it something with how I installed the program or just system settings.

Photoshop :: Drawing A Line Down The Exact Center Of An Image?

Jul 16, 2008

way to draw a line down the exact center of an image, and possibly make the line look cool. I'm trying to create a custom Magic the Gathering playmat thing for a program for testing decks out.

I tried the line tool, but it doesn't seem to allow you to fill it in with the paintbucket after, or do anything with it for that matter. I just want a cool looking divider.

Then I might create another split into 3 sections vertically for 6v6 battles, any way to measure this out automatically?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Won't Allow To Specify Length Of A Line

Jun 13, 2013

I have used AutoCad for a few years and I installed 2013 to my laptop recently.I noticed that I couldn't specify how long a line should be. When I select the line tool and specify the base point and type how long it should be i.e. 3' and a red box appears around the dimension box and the line isn't drawn. I tried not specifying a unit of length and it draws the line just fine. But for some reason it wont complete the line if I specify feet or inches.

AutoCAD LT :: Using Symbol To Enter Line Length?

Dec 9, 2011

I'm having a problem entering line lengths - something I remember occurring some time ago - but I can't' recall how I remedied it.  The '@' symbol take time to register - instead of registering immediately as previously.  I now have to check the command line each time and allow a moment for it to register before entering the values.

AutoCad 2D :: Control Length Of Dimension Line

Nov 15, 2013

In Autocad 2006, is there a way to control the length of the dimension line when it extends outside of the dimension distance itself? In other words, when a dimension is small, and the arrowheads flip to the outside of the dimension parameter, the text and the extension line outside of the dimension seems to go to far outside of the dimension area..

Can I control how far outside of the dimension area that this line and text are placed? They seem to go to far out on my drawings. I prefer them to be closer to the actual dimension area instead of extending so far out.. Didn't know if there was a control for this and where to find it.

AutoCad :: Measure Length Of Continuous Line?

Oct 12, 2006

Is there a tool where you just click on any line and it tells you how long the line is from end to end?

Basically I am drawing a curvy line that twists and turns here and there, but the line has to be less then so long. So I have to approximate the length by doing strait measurements and multiplying, it's really a pain.

I'd much rather just click the line, and it tell me how long it is from end to end, across turns and rounded edges and corners.
