AutoCad :: Make Rectangle Centered Around Center Point

Jun 21, 2012

I used to work with inventor in a class and now lets say i draw a circle of an arbitrary radius/diameter. I mark the center of the circle using the dimcenter command.

I draw a small rectangle around this center mark (this rectangle fits inside of the original circle.)

I want to make each side of the rectangle equally distant from this center point. Since I roughly drew the rectangle around the center point, all sides are not equally distant. How can I do this?

In inventor, I would dimension each side out (dimension from the center point to each side of the rectangle), and double click the dimension and edit the numbers. I would make all the numbers on each side two for example, therefor each side of the rectangle would be two units distance from the center point.

Photoshop :: Make Ruler Show Zero At Center Point

May 3, 2012

If i open a new .psd file of any size and i have guide lock on, I get lock lines as i move and object twards the center of the canvas.
 
So how do you get ps to place guides (H&W) at the center of any doc.
 
The guides do not lock to a center when i pull them from the ruler. I can not figure out a way to make the ruler show zero at a center point and go =/- out from a zero center point like a number line either.
 
So, How do i find the center of a doc?

Photoshop :: Center Point Of Circle Different Than Center Point Of Polygon

Apr 5, 2013

In Photoshop / Illustrator, when I create a polygon, and rotate it around it's center point it wobbles. When I scribe it inside of a perfect circle, and rotate it around the circle's center point it rotates smoothly. Basically proving that (at least according to these Adobe products) that the center point of a circle is different than the center point of a polygon scribed inside of it.

An image – the dots in the center are the corresponding center points according to Adobe:

This is incorrect according to basic math. Is Adobe aware of this bug?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Up Point On Different Layer To Mark Center Point Of Circle?

Nov 15, 2012

I need to find a way how to insert a point or a * on the center point of a hole and put it on a different layer. The reason for this is - I am a CAD tech for a welding shop and we cut parts out of steel and we use the dxf file format for our plasma table to cut parts. For example : if i have a 1 inch thick plate and want to put a 3/4'' hole in the plate the hole will be distorted because the hole is smaller than the material thickness. For these situation we can use the plasma table to burn a point or a dot on the center point of the hole. But to do this the point or dot must be on a different layer in the dxf.

Edge Animate CC :: How To Make A Centered Background Scaled Image / Video

Jul 31, 2013

How to make a centered background scaled image/video in Edge Animate.  Can't code, so I'm trying to use the properties panels.
 
1. Have the image centered in the middle of the stage
2. Have it scale to fill the screen always so there are no black bars (ie, I want a stage with only picture on it)
 
[URL]...

(This project is only aimed for iPad and above - desktop, so don't need mobile resolutions)
 
My work around is to do this via manual CSS, but there has to be a better way to keep it within the Edge compositiion
 
I also tried to import this Edge stage into Reflow after seeing this demo [URL]...
 
but just got blank screens : [URL].....

(I do like Reflow's ability to target specific resolutions but I don't quite need it for this project).

AutoCad 2D :: How To Use Dynamic Blocks To Stretch A Rectangle Using Only 1 Point

May 22, 2013

I was wondering if it is possible to use dynamic blocks to stretch a rectangle evenly, using only 1 point? I have attached a PDF of a rectangle with 2 lines coming out of each side (before & after picture). I want to use dynamic blocks to pick a point at the top right of the block, so that when I pull it out, the lines will extend, but stay attached to the rectangle. I also what the rectangle to stay in the center at all times.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Obtain Coordinate Of Center Point

Dec 25, 2011

I made a complex assembly from Solidworks few years ago. I imported it to Inventor 2012. How can I find the coordinate of the center point of the: a) parts/sub-assemblies, b) the complex assembly as a whole?  Under Application Options, I have already checked: Sketch->Display->Coordinate system indicator.  Under the assembly tree, I can go to the Origin of each sub-assembly/part and make the corresponding Center Point visible. However, I want the x,y,z values.

I copied and pasted a sub-assembly/part to a new assumbly file and then used VRMLout to export. When I imported the .wrl files to another application, the location of the parts/subassembies are not correct. I think they all became (0,0,0).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Origin Center Point

May 6, 2013

The screen shot below shows three coincident constraints and a projection icon on the origin.

 looks like a projection icon - what does it mean?

I want to delete the three coincident constraints. But when I delete the coincident constraints there is no Sketch origin center point (the sketch origin center point is a square-yellow dot at the x-y intersection). How to delete or move the three coincident constraints with out deleting the sketch origin center point?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Redefine Center Point Of Loop Of Edges?

Mar 10, 2012

way to redefine a point that was placed in a model with a "Center of Loop of Edges" command?  Inventor doesn't seem to recognize type of placement unless it's been selected from the Point drop-down menu, but picking this in the midst of a redefine only creates a new point, it doesn't redefine the original point.

As it is, I've been forced to just delete the original point, create a new one and go from there.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Changing 0.050 Dia Circles To Two Lines (x On The Center Point)

Feb 19, 2013

change all circles of a certain diameter in a .dxf file to points. I received the following lisp file. For the last 10-12 years it has worked great. We create many custom sized parts that could be cut on a plasma (utilizing the circles for holes) or punched, assigning a crosshair tool to the point. Now we are switching to a laser, and want to etch a crosshair at this same location. Our solution has been to draw the crosshair and copy to each required location. Sometimes this may be 20 to 30 locations. Now I would like to know if there is a way to replace all of these circles with a crosshair. This could be a similar lisp file, or an easier manual operation. I know that I can select all of the circles using the filter command and specifying the radius. But I don't know how to assign the 'crosshair' to these locations. (defun c:ctopt ( / ename cnt ss) (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "CIRCLE")))) (if ss (progn (setq cnt 0) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq ename (ssname ss cnt)) (if (equal (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.025 0.005) ;use this line for a radius 0.025 +/- 0.00015 ;(<= (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.05) ;use this line for a radius of 0.05 or less (progn (entmake (list '(0 . "POINT") (assoc 10 (entget ename))(assoc 8 (entget ename)))) (entdel ename) )) (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) ) ) ) (princ) )
