View 5 RepliesI am creating a block with attributes for a standard job. I have (4) total attributes in this block (for example: panel type, qty, length in imperial, length in mertic)
I would like my length in metric attribute to automatically populate based on the input from length in imperial.
Is this possible?
We design with a lot of tubing and pipe. Is there a way to add a custom property to the BOM that will automatically show the extruded length of, say, a length of pipe or tube? Also, is there a way to automatically calculate the total length of all tubing of a given size?

I build frames with various lengths of square and rectangular structural tube. All of my tubing members are generated from a custom iPart factory. When I insert a tube into my assembly, I key in the required length and the tube is generated. I would like to be able to automatically display the length of the member in a custom field in the parts list.

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).
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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWith using superelevation wizard in Civil 3d 2012, changing the lane width is not affecting the resulted values of transion length and run-off length, Is that correct ? ( as civil is using standerd AASHTO tables which assume that lane width typically is 3.6m )
Also, There is only 2 tables for 2-lanes and 4-lanes roadway, Is it for total road width or for one directon only, and what about different no. of lanes ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn authoring fasteners, what Grip Length refers to?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the past, if I needed to increase a polyline's length I would grap a grip and give it a pull, watching the dynamic input (I think) box for the length that the polyline was changing to. One day, I "noticed" that if I grabbed the grip, extended it past the original location, and then typed in what I wanted to add to the length of the polyline and hit "Enter", it would extend the line that amount. In new drawings that I have started since then, I cannot do this. Now, if I draw a 4" polyline, then grab the right hand grip, extend it a bit past the original point and type in 1, it shortens the line to 1" as opposed to extending it to a new length of 5". What switch I have thrown or may throw to retrieve this capability?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have this classic kitchen situation: two boards (in the drawing one is a box, the other a extruded polyline) forming an inner corner. While chamfering all the outside edges I come across one edge (in the drawing the long one of the long board) where I want to chamfer the edge only from the right corner to the point where the two boards meet.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I have wrapped a polysolid with a width of 2mm around a series of rollers to make a conveyor belt and would like to know the finished length,

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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCurrently when I pick a grip at the end of a polygon line and type a length, the polygon goes to that length.
Is there a setting anywhere that changes this behavior to add the typed length to the polygon, hence stretching it to this new length. This would be the same as lengthen when drawing with lines.
