Illustrator :: How To Center A Triangle Inside Another Triangle

Apr 10, 2013

So when I create a triangle by using the star shape tool and only giving it three points. When I have my triangle, I duplicate it and make it smaller. I center them both up on the canvas, but they don't look centered. As you can see in the picture provided, the bottom has more of a width that the others. I've tried using the alignment tool and the smart guides. I do resize the triangle using shift so it doesn't mess up the shape too.

AutoCad :: Make Dynamic Block Of Triangle?

Nov 28, 2011

I'm trying to make a dynamic block of a triangle, wich could react to enlargement of bottom corner. The main thing would be that the angle between corners never change ( that means when increasing the weight, the hight also increases.. ). Already for some time trying to do that using Strech action, but nothing works out. Maybe I'm using not that action tool?

AutoCad 2D :: Annotative Level Triangle Block

Jan 28, 2014

I want to create a block that has the level # on top of the little triangle thingy (yes, highly technical terms are in use), that will automatically resize BOTH the size of the text and the size of the triangle depending on which scale I'm in.

At the moment I can figure out how to make the TEXT (aka the #) annotative, but the triangle stays the same size no matter what scale I'm in. Not only that, but then the text doesn't stay consistently next to the triangle symbol when I change scales.

I want a block where BOTH the Text size for the level AND the triangle symbol itself will always be correct, regardless of what scale my viewport is in. Aka, I put a level symbol for +5.72 in the correct position in Model Space. In Paper Space, my 1:50 viewport and my 1:100 viewports are EACH showing the +5.72 triangle level sign, in the correct place, with the triangle and text being the correct size.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Loft Triangle Around Path Of Helix?

Jun 11, 2013

I am trying to loft a triangle around the path of a helix. I want the top point of the triangle to be facing in such that the ouside surface is flat (in the veritcal direction) for the entire helix and I have the two triangle cross sections oriented to do as much.  Whenever I try loft it, autocad associates sides of the triangle that aren't supposed to connect causing the triangle to twist along the path.  Is there a way that I can easily tell autocad which sides I want to connect?

AutoCad :: Exclamation Triangle After Exiting 2011 And 2012

Aug 11, 2011

I open files from many different customers in 'vanilla' Autocad 2012, upon exiting I occasionally get an exclamation mark inside of a triangle that appears on the screen by itself after the program closes...No text associated with the close just an exclamation mark inside of a triangle with an 'OK' to dismiss....Does not appear to be file specific, does not happen after any specific input either...Is there perhaps a log I can enable and/or interrogate to see what is causing this warning?

1.  How can you input text within a circle or square or triangle?  The circle , etc would be just larger then the text within.

2.  How about with leader added pointing to location?

3.  Can this be done using following Macro:

AutoCAD .NET :: Add Ellipse In Drawing

I am trying to create a cylinder. To accomplish this I am creating two ellipses and two lines. After I try to insert them in the DWG dwaing I can see only the lines. Here is a code sniped so you can see what am i doing.

Double ellipseRadiusRatio = 0.4; Vector3d ellipseMajorAxis = new Vector3d(0.0, 1500.0, 0.0);
Vector3d ellipseLeftCenter = new Vector3d(72541.7, 80198.5, 0.0);
Vector3d ellipseRightCenter = new Vector3d(77145.7, 80173.6, 0.0);
Ellipse leftEllipse = new Ellipse();

AutoCad 2D :: Stretching Ellipse Arc

Jan 4, 2014

I'm trying to make a (for lack of a better term) squarish ellipse.

I've tried a few things but they don't work too well, i.e. plines and lofting a rectangle with an ellipse then cutting it two but they just get me arcs that meet at sharp points.

The jpg below is meant to show what I'm trying to do.

I want to take that one quarter of an ellipse at the intersection and stretch/pull it to the midpoint of the line between the corner of the rectangle and the arc. The ellipse is made out of 4 ellipse arcs. I want to stretch just the arc without moving the ends of it at the quadrants.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Ellipse And Arc Inconsistency

May 9, 2013

I have an ellipse with equal radii, I changed it into an arc, but I can't make it fit.

In the attached drawing, there are 3 entities.

1. The original ellipse - red

2. Arc that has the same start angle and end angle as the ellipse - grey

3. Arc that fits the original ellipse - green

Now this is strange, because the ellipse seems to have a different CS for the angles. I had more ellipses in the drawing, but some of them don't have this anomaly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Ellipse To Pline

Aug 8, 2012

Recieved a ACAD converted Microstation File for use in an upcoming construction project. Would like to convert all of the existing ellipses to polylines. Have read several threads that lead me to believe redrawing them is about the only real way to do it. Posting here in hopes of a solution. Drawing contains 127 ellipses, and I dont want to redraw all of them!!

Currently on C3D2012.

AutoCad 2D :: Creating Array Around Ellipse?

Oct 12, 2011

The path array in 2012 is a very useful addition but I can't crack a solution to creating an array around an elipse (like chairs around a board room table). The only way I've found it to work is to break the elipse and then join up the gap, essentially creating a closed eliptical arc. This gets a result but it seems a very scrappy work-around to something which should simply work.

AutoCad :: Path Array Using An Ellipse

Sep 18, 2011

I would like to arrange equally spaced circles around an ellipse. I understand I can do this with the Divide command, as referenced in a previous thread on a similar subject

[URL].......

But I thought I could also use the Path Array command using an ellipse as the path.

What I get is the replicated objects (small circles) following some totally random path. Strange that this happens only with an ellipse - seems to work OK if the path is a circle or spline.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Feature Line Some Elevations Locked With White Triangle

Apr 23, 2012

I have created several feature lines from which I graded to distance or surface.  I am trying to edit all these feature lines raising them by 0.5 ft.  In a few instances, I need to keep some of the elevs while raising others by 0.5 ft.  I am changing the elevation of individual vertices.

Some of the features lines all me to change all the elevations.  But on a few of the feature lines, I can change all the elevations except for one.  The feature line station for which I cannot change the elevation has a white triangle in front of it in the Elevation Editor instead of a Green Triangle like most of the points.  It's clear that the White Triangle means something that is not allowing me to edit the elevation of that feature line vertex, but I'm not sure what or how to fix it so I can edit it like the others.

Also, the Raise Incrementally icon does not work on these points with a White Triangle in front of them / does not change the elevation of them.

AutoCad :: Drawing Ellipse In 3D 3Point Plane

Oct 8, 2012

I have a database of the 50 stars closest to the Sun. I wrote a program that translates Right Ascension and Declination into X,Y,Z coordinates on the "normal" UCS view.

I created all stars in 3D, distances to scale (1m = 1Ly), stars as spheres 0.1Ly radius (so they are visible !) Now, I need to draw the elliptic trajectory of a rogue "planet", starting near Lacaille8760 (6.456, 7.664, -8.076), passing near the EZAquarii, A, B & C, located at 3.557, 10.268, -2.973, to get a slingshot that will launch the planetoids towards the Sun (0,0,0). The elliptic trajectory should be a 3d "tube" a few pixels dia.

Problem:
How to set the screen coordinates to the plane formed by the 3 points above, so the ellipse can be drawn on a plane ? I changed the UCS to 3 points, and the screen shows the three stars on the same plane, but when drawing the ellipse, it is to the original UCS...

I'll make the ACAD files available for download at [URL]...... "TECH" tab. Once created, the drawing is used in R14 format to be imported in 3DSMax8 to get easier views and animation.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern On Ellipse

Feb 14, 2013

I'm having difficulty with a sheet metal part creating a flat pattern for it. The shape is an ellipse with the dimensions shown in the second picture. When I attempt to create a flat pattern it just shows the side of the part. The sheet metal defaults are correct for the part and it was ripped to created a base point for the pattern. I need to create a DXF for manufacture. I would just use the flat pattern it gives me and mirror it twice to create a pattern but it doesn't factor in the radius of the part. How to create a correct flat pattern for this item?
