AutoCad :: Leave XY Alone And Move Only Z?
Jan 5, 2012
I'm using a DXF drawing in my CNC program that uses all three axis. I've scaled the original drawing from 300" to about a 3"x5"". When when I save it as DXF, change it to gcode and run it in my CNC router, the Z depth is more than I want. I'd like to move Z closer to 0 without changing the XY. Can this be done?
I trained in R14 many many years ago so I probably already know my answer it's just tucked away behind too many other life experiences. Right now I'm using Autocad LT 2004 or 2006. I'm away from my CNC machine so I'm not really sure.

Check out the two pics I have added. I did this from Solidworks. Sometimes when dimensioning you have a series of holes that are close together like the ones shown below. What I would like to do is to drag the jog so that the dimension line does not run thru the other hole and the text stays where you put it. I would like to be able to do this without exploding it or going thru some sort of hoops to make it happens. Is this possible in Autocad? I thought that in a earlier version of Autocad you were able to do it but I am not sure.

I am encountering a problem using AutoCAD Civil 3d 2012. When finishing a certain command and going back to the ribbon, my cursor does not want to go out of the modelspace. So i can't click any command in the ribbon, or in any other program outside of AutoCAD.
Even when pressing escape to stop a command, nothing changes. Using the viewcube solves this problem for one time. But every time I draw a line or even zooming, the problem comes back again.

When I open ACAD A14, the workspace is displayed black (I had it set on white). When I zoom out, the screen is white again, but when I move the cursor, the crosshairs are displayed as a black square and leave a black trail, like for example Internet Explorer on the old Windows systems. I can use all functions normally, however my drawings are not properly displayed through the black. I had it running today already, without any problems, but my laptop was not connected to the internet, now it is. Things I tried: Reinstalling AutoCAD Restarting my PC Disconnecting my laptop from the internet and reopening AutoCAD A screenshot is attached. I am a first semester student and the plan is for a supporting structure of a hall that is due on friday, so its nothing that takes up a lot of computing power or anything.

I have a drawing with two viewports. One needs to show topography. The other does not. When I freeze the surface layer in the second viewport, the contour lables leave behind a dash. It's on layer 0 so I can't VP freeze without losing other things.
Where do these dashes come from? They aren't a visible part of the contour label. They only show up when the surface is on a frozen layer. The only purpose they serve is to show where a contour label would be if the surface wasn't frozen.

Now I'm going to write a code that will change current plot device of the drawing and there isn't a problem here:
acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(acPlSet, newPrinter, "A4");
But how can I leave default paper size not "A4"? For example if there is "A3" it should stay "A3". Because if I go through each drawing I don't know what is the current paper size I just need to change the plot device becuse default has been crashed for example. But if I write "A4" each drawing will have "A4".

I'm working together with a photographic studio in order to study better ways to cut subjects in their photos. So, instead of using the ways we use to cut. We have taken 2 photos for the product. The first is only the background, and the second is the beackground with the product. Look at the attachments in this message. It's a simple example (not taken in the studio, with control of lights and so on, but should work for testing purposes).
Looking at the 2 images, you can see the bottle and his reflex or shadow is the unique content that changes between the 2 scenarios. If you try, for example, place each file as a layer, group them into a smart object then use stack modes, you can take off the bottle from the scenario. We are trying to find a way to get the inverse (leave only the bottle). So, if finding any combination of technique that works, we could speed time in the cutting process by already taking images this way.
(perhaps a combination of blending, use of channels....), anything that could compare the 2 images and calculate the different pixels (this case, the bottle)? or perhaps reach an alpha channel that makes easy to perfectlly cut the image.The difference blending mode, for example, makes a calculation of pixels, but I did not get so much sucess working based on this blend

When making a webpage and then using Filters > Web > Slice, is there any easy way to leave space for adsense code or any code at all for that matter. I have tried opening the generated HTML file in Kompozer, but every time I try to add code to the cells, it messes up the entire page's layout.

I have been trying to change the background color of the photographs of jewelry I took. It is too grey, and I want to change it to white. Each time I try to do this, it changes the whole picture to white instead of just the background. How I can keep the foreground without losing it, and change the background color.

I've seen plenty of tutorials on how to blur out faces that stay within the frame, and these tutorials only showed demonstrations on short clips of one scene. What i am trying to do is blur out faces of people that appear on the video and then leave the frame, and there are other people that show up later in the video that i want to blur out as well. Would the blur remain on the video when the person leaves, and is there a way to have blurs for multiple faces that come up throughout the video?

My RAW files look great in bridge, but when I open or save them, they are somehow changing properties. The exposure increase and they become blown out and more yellow? This just started out of the blue yesterday.

I have some logos which all have a white background. I want to remove this white background to leave it transparent. So far I've managed to remove it but it hasn't been very clean as I've had to do it with brushes and lassos and havent had the effect I want.
I want a clean edge but these all leave grey pixels that blended from the black edge into the white background or just remove the black completely.
I'm looking for a reasonably quick way to do this, as I have 16 logos to get through and not too long to do it in.

I'm working on a project with simple black lines (curves and geometric shapes) and bold reds, but I'd like to be able to remove the color values so the image is a simple black-and-white outline (think coloring book style ~ I'd like a template to use with other colors down the road). But... having mediocre skills with the program, I'm not sure how to do it. I've tried using the paint bucket features, just filling in the colored areas with white, but I find that depletes the black outlines or makes them jagged -- or worse, they find breaks and the color leaks out. I've tried using the magic wand to select only the colored area, then filling it with white to avoid ruining the outline, but then there is a oh-so-faint (but bothersome to me) ring of red around the black outline. So, I'm thinking, this is such a versatile program that there's got to be a way to manipulate the image to remove the red without compromising the quality of the lines...
I've attached a little snippet of a bit of the image I'm working with so you can get an idea of the "mechanics" (for lack of a better term) of the picture. Also FYI: The outline thicknesses vary between 3 and 6 pixels with thicker "curls" at the end (I'd guess the thickest would be 12-15 pixels wide) and are all done with the pen tool.

I have a picture of a toy, I want to lift the toy off the background and leave only white space around it.
Here's what I've accomplished so far:
Created new layer Used the rounded rectangle to isolate the toy inverted the image used the magic wand to crop areas that had to go cropped as close to the toy as possible.Now I have the image but it's on this ugly, bits and pieces left over square.
What I'd like to know is: will making the background transparent fix it?
I'm still playing with it and saw a tutorial on transparency, but each time I attempt to do it - the entire image disappears.

When I use the knife tool on an shapeit leaves a gap where I slice. First I thought it was just an illusion in the program but it stays even after I've exported the image (both by "save as" in illustrator and "export" in inDesign). I've been careful not to move the shapeafter I used the tool so I don't think that should be a reason.
I've tried on different types of shapes like normal circles and more complex shapes. I've also attempted to start a new file from scratch but with the same result What could the reason be? Is there a setting I should be aware of?
This is what I see in Illustrator:
And this is what the image looks like when saved as pdf (in illustrator):
It also looks the same if I place it in inDesign and then export to pdf.
EDIT: I don't know if it is important but the size of the shape is about an A4 or there about.

When creating a selection Command using the PromptXXXOptions and PromptXXXResult. The entities are selected on the current view, but once the selection ends the entities return to an unselected state.
Is it possible to leave them in selection mode.
I want to this, because it will be better to use Editor.SelectImplied() instead of saving the last selection object Ids.

Every Time I select IMPORT on LR5 I have to "browse" and click several of the little triangles and navigate to the folder I want to import from. It seems to me in LR4 whenever I imported the File tree was left the way it was when it was shut down. I am not sure if I am expressing myself like I should it just gets frustrating becuase I am doing a Lot of importing from a Cloud source (dropbox camera uploads folder) and each time I have to browse from C Drive >USERS>USER NAME>DROPBOX>Camera uploads that is like 5 clicks every time I do it which is several times a day latley.

I try to select and move a layer using the Move Tool, another layer is immediately selected and moved instead.
Also, if I have layers inside a folder and try to move one of those layers, the entire folder is selected and all layers within that folder move.
I have not grouped any layers together.
