AutoCad :: How To Remove Thick Outline In 3D Model Print
May 8, 2011
I'm trying to print my 3d model in Autocad 2012 using layout but it creates a thick outline which I don't need. Is there a way to make this outline the same weight as all the rest lines? (The line weight is normal in drawing). Also some broken lines appears when I plot this drawing which I would like to repair... If it's important: I imported this model from Revit.
I'm trying to bring my 3d model in Autocad 2012 using layout but it creates a thick outline which I don't need. Is there a way to make this outline the same weight as all the rest lines?

I received an Autocad file from another person, opened it with Autocad 2011 LT, and it looks fine. But when I go to print preview all the lines are very thick, making the detail of the drawing difficult to see. I've tried manually changing the lineweights but it has no effect on some of the layers. Is there an easier way to fix this other than recreating layers?
Text in the model space is displayed annoyingly thick. It was always ok but something changed beyond of my knowledge in one particular project only. Can't change it back, it plots ok though.
You can compare the pictures: two different files with absolutely identical text settings... And, when I try to choose between text styles in text properties it says "The current style has been modified..." although I did not! I think both things are related some how...
Currently self teaching myself using 3D on a current project I'm working on. A cable stayed bridge having a span of 30 metres supported primarily by a single diagonal parabolic arch. The arch is square in section but rotated so it looks like a diamond along the arch length. To draw the arch I have drawn the arch sections at intervals along the centreline where it changes size in section 1.4, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0m. I have then used the loft command to draw the arch using the drawn sections as the objects to loft through.
For the GA drawing I have a plan view and elevation. When printing the generated/ lofted lines are are pixelated and not very crisp or clear (not a solid line).
I have tried adjusting the visual style and shade plot, for each of the options and none of them are giving me a solid crisp outline for the generated arch. I have also had a little play using the visual styles manager but nothing seems to work and also tried maximum quality in the print options.
What do I need to do to print a solid crisp outline for the outline of the arch please, are you able to select the edges of the square and convert them to solid 2d/ 3d lines.
Am trying to plot my drawing to a pdf, but none of my thicker line weights are showing up when plotted to pdf . Am using .stb style and all my line weights etc under general properties are set as by layer.
Is there a lisp for automatically draw a pline in model space of the projection of all existing paper space viewports, without need to select one by one? It will be also interesting if the lisp automatically create a specific layer like "ProjectViewport" to draw this plines. I am working with autocad 2009.
how i have to make something. In the attached file i've made a pipe/tube under a angle (see attachment). What i would like to have is that I get the outline/contour of the end of the pipe to a stretch flatten 2D model (see pdf attachment). Is this already a standard autocad command or lisp for this?
I'm trying to outline a shape, the outer edges for which are on two or more layers, I've been met with some success using the bpoly command, but ideally I'd like to put in some space between the edge and the outlining polyline; I've tried scaling the image up by a factor of 1.02, but that didn't work as the edge is irregular.
I remember seeing a post about a plugin which allows you to remove the background from an image...
Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the plugin....
Or if you can point me to a Tutorial that deals specifically with removing a background colour from a complicated image i.e. an image with a complicated outline...
In Photoshop CS6 Adobe has added a white outline to the cross hair cursor (when for example using the Marquee and pen tool) making it a lot less precise than before when you want to hit exact pixels. Is there a way to remove this?
I want to use an image like this (not the exact one), i want to remove the white background and select the outline of the world.I want to then use a inner/outer glow to it to make it stand out on my coloured background.
I have a question regard removing the outline from a portion of an object or making that portion invisible and still fill the object in its original shape Say for instance I have a circle or a rectangle and I converted them to a curve. I want to be able to make part of the outline invisible and still fill it in its original shape.
I encountered was after I outlined an image in order to remove the background around it, i could not disconnect from the outline tool (scissors). How do I do the disconnect?
So I made a shop drawing of an assembly, which is very complex and took a great deal of time to complete. It has 3 sheets and a bunch of different views and information already on the drawing.
Now the thing is I took the assembly and made it an iassembly; but I did this in another file so I wouldnt screw up all the work I did before. Now I realize that I dont have the links to the shop drawing that I wish I did.
how to link the shop drawing to the new iassembly model?
We recently made the switch from R14 to 2000. In the LONG process of trying to figure out plotting in 2000, I ended up having a lot of plotter names to select from when I go to plot. We have 2 HP 450C plotters and 2 printers (HP5000N & HP 1220C) and I only have one pc3 file for each on the server. I want to nknow how to remove some of the plotter names from ACAD and have only the 2 plotters and 2 printers to choose from when you go to plot.
Is there anyway to remove this stamp from the drawing when going to print it? I started a drawing on my personal laptop and have now moved to my work laptop and the stamp makes the drawings look unprofessional.
Any way to print/plot a layer in a VPORT, but prevent the same layer from printing in Model Space?
I am annotating my VPORTS with text, but I don't want any of this text to print/plot from Model space. All of the annotations will be on the same layer even though the annotations will appear on multiple VPORTS.
I have to print PDF file of model And this PDF file should have access to rotate model as we do in inventor. I came across such file few days ago. I tried in inventor it I could not do.
(# Ref attachment of PDF file having access to rotate model)
I made PDF file but that doesn't,t have access to rotate as first one has. ( # ref 2 ND attachment.)
Just apply a new material, this doesn't work at all as it is always a ptex material. Trying to do an unwrap doesn't work as it says it is a ptex model. I can't save or load textures on the model as it is now a ptex material.
How am I supposed to remove ptex from this model? Mud 2012 obviously.
Working in AutoCAD 2010. Recently I've started to notice that the dimensions on my print are not exactly aligned with the model/object. Only the dimensions seem to be shifted slightly in two directions (~1mm?). On screen, everything looks great.
Typically, I design 3d parts (model tab), then in the layout tab set up viewports (mview), and dimension in paper space...
Is there some paperspace offset I may have inadvertently invoked?
I recently joined a firm that has been working drawings up in meters in model space
The issue comes that when i go to input a scale at the viewport stage the drawing is tiny. Ive always worked in mm and thus never had this issue when using the standard 'z' enter 's' enter 1/##xp' to achieve the desired scale
i would like to understand how i can still work these drawings without scaling everything up in model space at a factor of 1000, which is the only way i can think of getting round this issue.
When Im in model mode mode I create txt to annotate my diamentions, when I sent up my page in paper mode and plot it to a pdf, all the text ive created in model mode appears on the pdf as outlined text ( hollow ).
