I have found 3 installed dynamic scale bars that cad offers that can be inserted onto a map, but i don't like the graphics of the 3 choices.
is there other choices for dynamic scale bars offered somewhere, or do people just build there own?
I am looking for a North Arrows block files that I can choose from. I have been searching in my library (local drive) but I did not get any. Is there any place that I can find them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn some templates I can't load a custom North arrow. AutoCAD can't find block.
The built-in north Arrows works fine. In a standard template from Autodesk there is no problem.
Wich settings should I change so I can select a block?
I would like to show a north arrow on my drawing, but i dont know where north is,
Does autocad know where it is, my site is in a very remote mountaineous area with nothing to reference off on goole earth or maps.
After I select the north arrow in my cad drawing what format should I save it as?
View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery time I insert a north arrow it needs to be scaled up afterwards. Normally, scaling up by the same factor as the viewport that I select is about right.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Plan Production tools to create alignment drawings and when adding the north arrow during the process i get a error at the end stating @unable to align north arrow?
North arrow is a block and tried with base point and alignment parameters, unless i have missed something in the block creation? How do i create a north arrow block that will align with the layouts in plan production?
I'm using C3D 2014.
When I create layouts using the "All layouts in the current drawing" option, the north arrow does not align to the viewport rotation.
But when I use "Number of layouts..." and "All layouts in one..." options, the north arrow block aligns correctly.
I am using the Dynamic North arrow that is linked to the viewport. It doesn't matter if I use an OOTB block or a custom one they all have a rotation of 355.4016.
The viewport is type "Plan", Dview twist is set to "0", USC is World. If I change the rotation on the block it rotates the viewport (as expected). The default block is not rotated.
BTW, It works fin in the default NCS, so it's something in my template.
I want my north arrow to come in at 90 (pointing up). Then I want 3 grips that you click to either rotate it to 0,180,or 270.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am making a template file having title block with fields. I use this template for creating layouts and sheets using Sheet Set Manager and the fields will be updated from the data of SSM. Now i would like to add a dynamic north block to my template. The block could be rotated (i have this block in file itself) and rotation angle could be inserted. Now how can i add a custom field to SSM so that i could set a rotation angle for the project and thus every new layout or sheet created using the template has the north block rotated with the angle mentioned in SSM.
Here is the file...........
I have a text file of several surveyed ponts throughout my model. I can select one of these points in my model and specify the coordinates of East/West, North/South, and elevation from this file, but how do I determine the angle from project north to true north from these surveyed points?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was finishing up my autocad project I noticed that the little arrow next to the annotation scale on the bottom right corner of the page was gone. The little arrow shows a list of scales in autocad so you can properly scale your drawing. how to bring the arrow back or is it a glitch?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am asking user for scale factor and insertion point. but the actual image always display width and height as the scale value, if i insert value of 5 for scale factor width and height will be 5 but not according to coordinates system.
but if i insert the same image manually width and height are calculated by autocad according to scale factor before insertion.
double scale = promptDoubleResult.Value; var xAxis = new Vector3d(scale, 0, 0); var yAxis = new Vector3d(0, scale, 0); var ucs = document.Editor.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem; using (Transaction trans = database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { RasterImageDef rasterImageDef = new RasterImageDef(); rasterImageDef.SourceFileName = imagePath; rasterImageDef.Load();

I have recently started using Architect 2012. We use Architectural Tick for dimensioning.
The problem is the Architectural Tick arrow is not coming in at the proper scale (Arrow head size = 3/32", dimscale varies). The arrow head seems to be out by a scale factor of 25.4 (found by trial and error).
If so is there a software patch or workaround. Can the Architectural Tick block be edited and if so where is it?

I have downloaded JPG2000 files from the National Map. I can insert the image, but it doesn't recognize where it is supposed to be.

I'm using Civil 3D, 2013 on a 32 bit machine.
How would I go about inserting a field in modelspace that indicates the scale of a viewport. I only have one viewport.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a block of a plan view of a wheelchair user so I can see just how much space there is available.
The block is dimensioned but when I insert it and measure its dimensions, the readings are different. For example, a dimension reads 1070mm but when I measure it, I get 1023mm. Not far out but when I measure a 150mm dimension, I get 83mm. A 460mm dimension is measured as 536mm.

I am using AutoCAD 2011. my scale being off for text, dimensions, inserting scalable blocks, xrefs, etc...
The problem is that when inserting, or creating text (or any of the above) in architectural scales everything is fine, however, when the scale is changed to an engineering scale, everything comes in at 1/12 the scale it is supposed to be - i.e. - when I create text it has to be scaled up by 12, it's like AutoCAD is just reading the 200 scale and not multiplying by the scaler of 2400.
I am trying to insert an ordinance survey map into model space of an existing metric drawing.
When the map appears, it is the size of a postage stamp in relation to the existing buildings in the drawing.
Is this because the OS Survey map is drawn in meters when my drawing is in millimeters?
I had been trying to insert a title block (block) in to a drawing as part of changing the title block But in some drawings the block gets scaled off. Is there any system variable or any solution to maintain the drawing without getting scaled while inserting block.
I had used -dwg units and this appears to single drawings only. Any other way to do this to all the files in a folder.
Mleader arrow head didn't change size when change the scale on Object property?
The Arrow head size didn't change corresponding to the scale, i included the pic below, the top picture, the arrow head was set at .18" but was really small when i plot out, so i wanted to make it bigger, when i changed to .50" or .75" or even 1" the arrow head became even smaller than .18". Only when .18" than the arrow side is legible

why doesn't the arrow leader disappear when I flip my arrow direction to the inside..

An associate on campus asked me if there was a way to print the viewcube and compass when he plots a drawing. What he is doing is printing pdf's of different sections of the drawing, and wanting the compass to appear on each printed section.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I created a pvc pressure pipe to use in addition to the ductile iron pipe that comes with the software. Problem is, when I draw my pipes, the compass doesnt disply the different bends at which I can use. If I switch to the ductile iron pipe that came with the software, all my bends show up that I can draw at. Why dont they show up on the compass for my pipe I made?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have tried a thousand different scenarios with the new pressure pipes. When I create a new parts list and try to draw a water line, the compass only gives me 3 angles. This is using the "out of the box" templates.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I am working on a image that I have selected and inverted a compass suddenly appears and rotates the image for me. This can happen to every image or not at all, which makes me think it might be a bug within the software. When it does happen it can be very frustrating as I am usually working on a large number of images and it reduces the amount of images that I can work on.
If I upgrade to CS6 the issue will be resolved? I am using a MacBook Pro 17ins 10.5.8 and it is Mac OSX.
what is the compass in CS6 Photoshop that randomly spins image around?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am editing some artwork in PS. I use quick keys to go between: b,e,g...(brush, erase, paintbucket). As I move through the image I zoom in and out with key strokes. I haven't figured out just what combination brings up a compass, but when it appears my canvas (not the image, but the whole canvas) kants to one side or another. If I see it in time I mess with it to get it back, but as I don't know what it is called I'm having a terrible time looking up how to control it and set it back to square. It seems like all the layers are okay within the image, so nothing is out of registration, but I don't know what is happening.
Any tool that is activated? Then I can figure out when to use it for real and how to undo it when I don't want it. I'm on a Mac Book Pro using Master Collection 6 and the touch pad. It seems like my finger motions might be triggering it. I have tried to step back, but it wasn't an option. Undo didn't do anything.
I was sitting here using PSCS4 and I noticed that as I was rotating the canvas I no longer had that huge compass rose appear. I rather like it this way. I don't know if I hit something or if there is just a graphical updating glitch going on. But, is there a way to turn the compass rose on/off? If not, Adobe definitely needs to implement this along with the ability to make it smaller, or more translucent,
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am making use of some of the building models created using CAD. Since the models are added to virtual earth, I would like to get clarified for few of my doubts,
1) say, when the buildings of true representation on ground is made, whether any reference axis with respect to ground is considered to build the model?
2) How the scaling is made for the same model with respect to ground?
