AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Change Length Of Line Based On Length Of Attribute

Jan 8, 2013

Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?

I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum).  But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Length / Stationing

Apr 18, 2013

When labeling pipes, the lengths and stations do not always match. this appears to be related to a rounding issue. for example, the first pipe may start at 0+00 and have a length of 50.69167397’. The reported station in the structure label (using “normal rounding”) is naturally 0+50.69, as anticipated. The upstream pipe has a length of 43.36435901’, resulting in a total length from 0+00 of 94.05603298, resulting in a station of 0+94.06. However, the rounded values of the lengths (c’mon, nobody reports lengths to the 100-millionth) labeled on the pipes (50.69’ and 43.36’) total an expected station of 0+94.05.

I have tried all manners of “rounding” in the label styles, but it always falls down in one situation or another. I have also tried setting in the network and pipe “Feature Settings” for distance to a locked accuracy of 2 decimal places, but that does nto seem to do it either.

So, the question is, is there a way to resolve this issue without having to move one of the structures 0.001’ to resolve the mathematical parallax?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pipe Length From Extrusion For BOM

Jun 25, 2013

We've got a lot of pipe added from CC then manually edited the extrusion length (D2) while modeling (not using tube and pipe).  Now I want to get pipe lengths from the BOM.   Currently the BOM gives the PL parameter as length, which is incorrect.

I know I can rename D2 and mark it as an exported parameter and add that to the BOM.

I think I could also make PL equal to D2 which would also solve the problem.

Both of these solutions would require opening and editing hundreds of parts, taking a LONG time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Automatically Display Length Of A Pipe

May 6, 2013

I build frames with various lengths of square and rectangular structural tube.  All of my tubing members are generated from a custom iPart factory.  When I insert a tube into my assembly, I key in the required length and the tube is generated.  I would like to be able to automatically display the length of the member in a custom field in the parts list.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Rule Which Limits Pipe Length In ILogic

Apr 24, 2012

How would I go about creating a rule in iLogic which would limit the minimum length of a pipe (parameter = Pipe_Length) to be half the outer diameter of the pipe (Pipe_OD), in other words "Pipe_Length ≥ Pipe_OD/2"

I know you can use the limits wizard in iLogic,  but is that not only for numerical values as opposed to parameters?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Minimum Segment Length Violation In Tube & Pipe Runs?

Jan 2, 2014

I keep getting this minimum segment length message after running tubing routes. I've already configured the tube style and entered the minimum length I want. I place tube fittings before I run tubing, so I don't include fittings/couplings in my tube style. The lengths of the segments are equal to or longer than the segment rule I entered, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error message. I also get a message saying that a segment will violate the rule once fittings are placed, even though I've opted out of using fittings in the style. To get around this error I've been having to go into each route and edit the sketch to make the problem segments longer.

AutoCad :: Length To Change Relative To Selected Grip

Oct 18, 2011

It seems there have been a change in some system variable i ACAD2012 that changes the way a line lengthens when you use the grips.

I want the length to change relative to the selected grip not determine the total length of the line!

I'm guessing that it have something to do with polar tracking, if I turn it of the stretching works the way I want.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dynamic Change Of Length Of Part During Assembly

Nov 24, 2011

This is my first time using Inventor but I've been using ProE for several years in school. A friend of mine told me about a feature in ProE where you are able to define a part and then define one of the lengths as it is placed into an assembly. For example I would define a 2x4 part with a length of 84inches. If I wanted a 2x4 of 68inches in my assembly I would use the same file but simply change the 84 to 68. How can I do this with Inventor?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Reactor - How To Change Xdata Length If Line Is Modified

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Tube And Pipe Styles After Populated?

Nov 1, 2012

Ive got pretty good with the tube and pipe runs now, I am making runs, drawings, and BOM way faster than I could ever have done the old way (constraining many elbows to many pipes). But After getting a whole machine modeled, drawings completed, and BOM's finished I got thrown a curve ball and 2 out of 16 runs need to change size. The only way I can think to do this is to delete those 2 runs and start over with a different style. This means redoing those two drawings, balloons, dimensions and the BOMs. If there is a way to change from, for example, 1" threaded pipe style to a 1.5" threaded pipe style? Then my drawings, balloons, dimensions and the BOMs on them would update automatically.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Change Reference Surface For Pipe Network

Sep 4, 2013

Civil 3D data shortcuts. 

So I first created a drawing which included a surface called "CONTOURS" and an existing sewer pipe network. I then created a data shortcut of the existing sewer network and started a new drawing with a proposed sewer pipe network.

When I received better contour data, I created a new "10FT EXIST CONTOURS" surface in the existing sewer drawing and switched the reference surface for the existing sewer structures and pipes to the new "10FT EXIST CONTOURS" surface. And of course I deleted the old "CONTOURS" surface because I no longer needed it. 

Now, the part that makes me want to pull all my hair out! When I open the proposed sewer drawing I get all the error messages that "Reference surface 'CONTOURS' not found in reference drawing" for all 22 of the existing sewer structures.

I've tried deleted the existing sewer network in the proposed sewer drawing and recreating the data shortcut but nothing makes the errors go away. Is there any other way the existing sewer structures could be referencing the deleted surface that I have not thought about? How to get the error messages to clear?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Pipe End Section Type In Callout

I can't remember how to change a pipe end section type.  I have concrete and want a metal one.  I right click and went to swap part, but the metal end section is not listed.  The block is fine; all I need to do is to change the material type in the callout.  I am using the C3D flared end section with modified text in the callout.  Where to I go to change the definition?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Line Length Follow Content Length Of Attribute

Mar 16, 2012

I was wondering if there is a way with DB's to have a line "follow" or "grow" with the content/value length of an attribute. Maybe some method of linking the attribute width to length of the line? Essentially, it would work just like turning on the underline setting when typing in mtext editor (or any program with an underline option for that matter), expect that the line could be placed anywhere, and would not have to reside directly below the text.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Changing Lane Width Not Affecting Resulted Values Of Length And Run Off Length

May 11, 2013

With using superelevation wizard in Civil 3d 2012, changing the lane width is not affecting the resulted values of transion length and run-off length, Is that correct ? ( as civil is using standerd AASHTO tables which assume that lane width typically is 3.6m )

Also, There is only 2 tables for 2-lanes and 4-lanes roadway, Is it for total road width or for one directon only, and what about different no. of lanes ?

AutoCad :: Model Fewest Welds / Fittings Required To Change Angle And Elevation In Pipe Run

Jun 11, 2013

How do I model (or calculate) the fewest welds/fittings required to change angle and elevation in a pipe run, as shown in Option1 below.

For this example the constants are: 8" standard steel pipe, one of the fittings is a standard butt weld 45 (12" radius), bend angle is 70 degrees, and the elevation change is 9". The custom fitting is cut from a standard 8" long radius 90.

Note: Option2 is just shown for reference, I'm only interested in solving Option1

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Parts Change To Default When Data Referenced Into Other Drawing?

Dec 21, 2010

When creating my plan set, I need to data reference pipe networks into other drawings than that in which they were designed to show crossings in profile views or to separate out profiles into managable drawings. When I do this, if I have swapped a type-13 inlet for a 10' type R inlet or something during design, the data referenced pipe network will replace the 10' type R with a default inlet. Also if I have swapped a proposed 30" pipe for an existing 30" that have different styles, the data referenced pipe network will revert back to the proposed 30" pipe. how to make a data referenced pipe network reflect what is currently in the design drawing?
