AutoCad :: How To Prevent Object Appearing On Top While Using Move Command
Oct 2, 2013
Before I upgraded to AutoCAD 2014 (was using 2012) when I used the MOVE command on 3D geometry (while using the Realistic Visualization) I could see one object move into another. Like, moving a cylinder into a box to represent a button, and I would see it slowly sink into the box as I moved it further and further along.
In 2014, the object I am moving will REMAIN ON TOP visually of all other geometry until it is completely inside the other geometry (at which point it disappears completely). It's hard for me to then judge just how much of it is sticking out during the MOVE command. Once I complete the move command, the proper visualization order is then shown.
In other words, if I have a 10 inch cylinder, and I'm trying to move it into a box so only 2 inches sticks out (as a visual guesstimation), currently I would see ALL 10 inches of the cylinder whether part of it is inside the box or not, until I complete the MOVE command.
I am going to collect objectid's of the moved items in drawing after they moved to destination. So I wrote an event to monitor move command , by using object modified event handler. when I run below code for every entity it collects 2 object id. One before move and one after move. Is there any way to just collect object ids after they moved?
Class EVENTS Dim MyDwg As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim Myed As Editor = MyDwg.Editor Dim Mydb As Database = MyDwg.Database Dim Myobjidcoll As ObjectIdCollection
How can I prevent the Getting Media dialog appearing, I have left Organiser running for hours and it never disappears. The Stop button does nothing. It is not possible to to close the program without Ctrl Alt Del.
I am working on a lisp to scale drawings of various sizes to a predetermined size. After the lisp has run and scaled the drawing, the prompts for base point and reference point run a second time. How can I get this to run through once? I think it has something to do with the way the reference length is being entered. The base point and first reference point are the lower left corner of the drawing, while the second reference point is the lower right corner.
(COMMAND "SCALE" "ALL" "" (SETQ A (GETPOINT " SELECT BASE POINT :")) "R" A (GETPOINT " SELECT REFERENCE POINT : ")) "1'-5"")
I have a macro that automatically creates a Detailed view on a sheet. It works on 2 input's:
- mouse click 1 (set's the target to be detailed)
- mouse click 2 (set's the location where the balloon should be)
The code works fine. But sometimes the user will start another command, or restart the same command, while it is still running. This off course gives all kinds of problems.
Is there a possibility in VBA to prevent the user to start another command while this command is running?Or is this problem a part of the clicking itself?
Here is my (it uses a Class Module called: clsGetPoint, see code below) Sub AutoDetailedView() On Error GoTo ErrorManagment '(error handling 2013/02/18) 'step 0 Create a transaction. -> for 1 undo command Dim oTransMgr As TransactionManager Set oTransMgr = ThisApplication.TransactionManager Dim oTrans As Transaction Set oTrans = oTransMgr.StartTransaction(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument, "AutoDetailedView") 'step 1 Select a drawingView 'Set a reference to the drawing document. Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument 'Set a reference to the active sheet. [code].....
Undo Command still turning off (disabled) constantly even after dumping the temp folder, and the turn off, turn on solution does not seem to work either.
Any solutions to this nagging issue other than re-install?
I cannot determine what triggers this but the command line has stopped returning values from lisp expressions.
eg. If I type (setq fred "Hello") I would expect to see "Hello" returned. I am getting nothing. Similarly if I type !fred I get nothing. If I restart AutoCAD the problem goes away. The after some time it happens again. Is there a toggle or switch or system variable that I'm not aware of?
Architectural logo has inserted as OLE object in the title block, we called this title block as x-ref and inserted the title block in paper space (layout). Now when we convert into pdf the drawing the OLE object logo is not appearing and the other coponents are appearing.
what could be the reason, for PDF conversion i am using DWG to PDF.pc3
When we convert same logo as a pdf overlay in CAD by using same .pc3 file it is working fine.
problem i'm facing when ever i tried to apply a material to an object in AutoCAD 2010,I have set all the necessary thing required for the material to be visible such as visual style(Realistic/Conceptual),Material/Texture(on) and any of the isometric view.Below is a captured image of the problem.
Today I opened a file that has previously worked perfectly well, only to find that when I open my surface in Object Viewer and begin to rotate it manually, the triangles making up the surface do not appear. I have the contour lines and border (what is enabled in the Edit Surface Style/Display/Model tab) although the triangles (which should be displayed as well) do not appear. Other surfaces show like they should.
Is there another option other than the Edit Surface Style/Display/Model tab and the VISUALSTYLES command?
One of the CAD engineer in my office is facing with a new problem. Until two days back she was able to use the "mid between two points" object snap. But recently it dissappeared from the shift+right click short cut menu. method to bring it back to the shortcut menu?
I want to prevent an object to be moved on first click even if select and move tool is active. It is tiring to always press Q key or toggle select object tool, cuz after some transactions are applied, it automatically activates move tool. I want to move tool to act for first click to just select and second click and afterwards to move.
I'm new to LR4 and after I move the photo corners to use the crop tool, the white hand doesn't appear when I hover over the photo to then move it around....
What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!
I just got AUTOCAD 2013 and I have problem using MOVE command. With my previous version AUTOCAD I was able to move one by one every line from the object I created. Now with the new version when I use MOVE command, not only one line is moved, it is moved the whole object (Like the object is a block, but is not).
How can I move only one single object from my drawing?
lisp..It work fine but just that i need some minor modificatio to it...At moment, when i activate the lisp, it will automatic select all dimension,leader and multileader to a layer call "DIMENSION"...Anyway i wonder if it is possible to prevent any dimension,leader or multileader in layer "Section" will not be change to layer "Dimension"?
Having never used this command before I am struggling as to where it is located.I imported a U-Bolt in Solidworks format and I am just trying to move the nuts as indicated.
Whenever I use the move command on a line or series of lines that are touching other lines, the lines that aren't part of my selection move with that one line. cad-movecommand.jpg Here's a series of screenshots showing what I mean. I can't move just that line without moving the other lines around it.
I'm want to drag an objects anchor and have the position co-ordinates offset by opposite amounts so it doesn't appear to move postioin on screen. IS there a tool for that?
When I use the move command to, let's say, to move a floor plan (drag to new location on the page), some of the lines in the "moved" floor plan are either skewed or missing. I'm able to "cut and paste" as welll as "copy with basepoint" w/out problem.
Not sure as to why this is happening, but like the title says anytime I use move or grab a grip point my osmode automatically changes itself to settings that I do not want. I can change my osnap settings while in the command to set them back to what I had originally had but this is very tedious and I have not experienced this with previous versions of acad.
From all my searching, the only thing I can come up with is; it is a setting within the acad1014doc.lsp but I am not sure.
