AutoCad :: Moving 2D Object To 3D Position Through Association / Searching

Dec 20, 2011

I have a 2D plan and a 3D plan. The data is essentially the same on both, the only difference being that the 2D plan has several hundred points on it (all at elevation/z coordinate of 0, of which can easily be copied to the 3D plan).

I want to move those 2D points to their respective 3D positions. I.e. if point X is at coordinates 15213.321, 51646.632, 0 I would like to search in the Z direction above (or below; although in this data set it would always be above) for any object (line, polyline, 3dpolyline or an arc only I think) that crosses or is on this coordinate and then move the point (or place a new point) to that z coordinate. So if there is a line whose z value is 895.265 at coordinate 15213.321, 51646.632, then the point (that was originally 2D) would become 15213.321, 51646.632, 895.265.

Any lisp or other method in AutoCad that could accomplish this (ideally without having to select each point individually)? Surely this must have come up a few times before although I'm not too sure what search words to be using to look for info.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Force Attribute Position To Remain Fixed In Drawing When Moving Block Position

Jul 12, 2013

Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remaines fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?

I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: [URL] ........

What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other.  I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.

Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process.  It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.

AutoCad :: Cannot Change Any Object Layer Association

Feb 16, 2012

for no apparent reason I am suddenly unable to change the layer that a object is assigned to. Normally I select a line, then go to the layers pull down menu and click on the desired new layer. Automatically the line changes color to the selected layer.

When I follow this procedure now, the layer name changes in the pull down menu as if the change has been made, but the line remains the old color. Checking in Properties for this line, it shows that it has been changed to the new layer as well, however, when I reselect the line, the Properties changes back to show that it is still assigned to the old layer (color: By Layer is selected).

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimension Association To Any Existing Object In Drawings

Jan 23, 2013

I have a problem with Dimension association to any existing object in my drawings. If i draw anything new in the same drawing this problem does not occur. The leaders are also associating themselevs to these objects.

When i select a line, no grips appear even though if i draw a new line they do.

-I have tried to use DIMDISASSOCIATE the dimensions from the objsect to no avail.
-I have tried changing the DIMASSOC variable but this didnt work.
-I have tried exporting the objects to new files but still the same problem, only with the objects from this drawing.

It seems to have made every object associative. The only thing i can think that caused this was i pasted in a drawing from a pre 2002 Autocad version.

AutoCad 2D :: Scaling Text Field Size Without Moving Its Position?

Jun 22, 2012

I am trying to enlarge the text from an exported cad drawing from Dialux (lighting calculation software)...it has exported a field of values over a large area but the text is really small and illegible when its plotted as an A1 pdf

Is there anyway to blow all the text values up at once without moving them from their positions with relation to the boundaries of the roads and buildings? Here is a screenshot of the view with CAD...this is a small area of the entire scheme and those little black smudges are the numbers i need to scale

CAD Screenshot.jpg

I guess in a 3D program this would be equivalent to having the pivot point located in the centre of each set of numbers so you could scale them using the centre of each number as its scale point but I am stumped by how to do this in Autocad Architecture 2011..

After Effects :: Composition Keeps Moving Position On Its Own?

Jun 18, 2013

I'm scaling and repositioning my composition at several points. A curious thing keeps happening though. My composition is moving it's self in between all my points even when they are the same on both sides. I'll have two keyframes with exactly the same positions at different times and in between those exact same keyframes I'll have the composition moving... I have everything symetrical.

AutoCad :: Setting Position Relative To Another Object?

How do I set the position (i.e. move) and object relative to another object?

Specifically, I am using Architecture 2013. I have two parallel walls. How do I set the distance of one relative to the other? I know I can measure the distance, calculate an offset, and move one by that offset. But there must be an easier way?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Mark Object's Original Position On Autodesk Publisher

Sep 11, 2012

I have created a model on autocad which I have imported into autodesk inventor publisher...for my project I have to simulate an object's assembly and subsequent dissassembly. But to begin with my model is assembled so i have exploded it and now I want to put it back together - however I can't get the program to remember the position each component was originally in so when i try and move each component back it's all over the place and looks awful. Is there a way to mark an object's intial location so that i can move it back to exactly that place?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Constraints Not Moving Object?

I have some "insert" constraints for DIN rails in holes. I've moved the holes, but the DIN rail doesn't move. The refresh button isn't "lighting up", or when it does, it does not do anything to move the rail. Is there something that's been "shut off" to keep things from moving?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Lines And Object Regenerate While Moving Them Across Screen

Jun 11, 2013

I have upgraded to 2014 and since then I get this annoiying thing that happens when I am moving selected objects/lines across the screen during a copy and move. It's not a computer perfomrance thing. I have two monitors and I have called up both 2014 and 2013 side by side. When O copy or move and drag across the screen everything is wonderful. No regen while dragging, I can see the lines/objects 100% solid while dragging. In 2014, as I'm dragging and can't see the objects/lines because it's trying to regeneratate (slowly) while I'm dragging.

I have checked all my setting in tools>options and they are identical to what I ahve in 2013.

AutoCad :: Drawing Circles Or Moving Object Has No Image Guide?

Dec 9, 2012

I'm currently using auto cad 2000 because it's required in our class. When I make circles or move or objects there are no image guide. like when I make circles only the lines are there I still have to calculate what the diameter is rather than by simply looking how big the circle is. or when I'm connecting objects, It's very hard to connect complex objects by moving them because there is no guide to where the image is suppose to be when the mouse is at a particular place.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Break Association To BOM?

Aug 21, 2013

I'm using Inventor Pro 2011 and I'm trying to break the association of a BOM from it's assembly.  My company uses a "next assembly list" on each drawing to show the quantities and information that appear on the BOM in the next level assembly.  To achieve this we insert a parts list referencing the next level, then we turn off the visiblity of all the parts except the item we want shown.  The problem we've found with this is that we're using some large assemblies and Inventor slows down when it has to reference the large assembly on each drawing.  All we really want to show is the single line.  If we break the link to the large assembly, we feel that it will speed up the process considerably.
