AutoCAD 2013 :: Anyway To Enter Whole Equation Of Ellipse

Oct 12, 2012

Okay so is there anyway to enter the whole equation of an ellipse into autocad and it will map it? ex x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2=1 with different values for x y z a b c. I want to generate different ellipses and then loft them together?I just want one the starts with the basics and goes all the way to the move advance stuff.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Super Ellipse Equation Curve

Dec 11, 2012

I'm trying to use the equation curve to draw a super ellipse.The formula I'm trying to translate for inventor is the following.I'm guessing this should be possible using the abs() for the first section and an IF() statement for the second. The problem is Iäm not even getting the abs() to work at all. How to translate this formula?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Does Equation Curve Function Not Work

May 10, 2012

Trying to do something as simple as y=x^3 (Explicit Mode). Set xmin = 10, xmax = 20 then tried y(x) = :

1in *(x^3) -- no good
(x^3)/1 in -- no good
(x/1 in)^3 -- no good

Error is that "Equation y(x) contains errors. Expected units are length".

The point here is: Why should typing in such a simple equation as y=x^3 be so difficult??? Can't even do (x*x*x)/1 in & make it work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2D Equation Curve For A Parabolic Spiral

Jun 22, 2013

what the 2D or 3D equation curve for a parabolic spiral, otherwise known as a Fermat's spiral would be? I have found this info but do not know how to apply it:

Fermat equation

Therefore in terms of the affine plane its equation is
The Fermat curve is non-singular and has genus

I have also found this: $r^{2}=a^{2} heta $ 

Please see image attached.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Sketch Equation Curve - Creating Coil?

Jul 26, 2013

I am trying to create a coil which from above, retains equal and thus parallel pitches whilst at the same time adheres to a semi-circular form in the cross section. You can see from the images attached that the first two revolutions are larger than the semi-circle outline.
 
These are the values I have used:
 
Cylindrical

r (t):     134.56924424045517662353735770102mm * t * 0.5
q(t):     1 deg * 360 ul * 3.0 ul * t
z(t):      10 mm * 6 ul * 0.5 ul *  t  * (1.5 * t) * t

tmin: 0 ul
tmax: 0.916 ul

AutoCAD Inventor :: Variable Pitch Helix By Equation Curve

Jun 20, 2012

You can create a variable pitch helix by using the Equation Curve feature introduced in Inventor 2013.

Create a new 3D Sketch. Start the Equation Curve command.

Here are equations that I use to create helical curves. Many other variations exist.

Cartesian coordinates:

x(t) = radius * sin(360 * num_turns * t) 
y(t) = radius * cos(360 * num_turns * t)
z(t) = height * t

[Code]....

When you sweep a profile along a helical path, use the plane normal sweep (instead of perpendicular sweep) to orient profiles suitable for coil or spring.  In the example below, the sweep path is a constant radius, variable pitch helix.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Equation Driven Curve - Unit Error

Nov 27, 2013

I would like to create an equation driven curve with inventor. I have no problems plotting the function in a plotter, however, inventor won't accept my equation. It gives me the error message, saying: "The equation contains unit errors". I'm using the explicit equations.That's the bare equation:

"y=sqr(2)*16.5/2/sqr(pi)*sqr(arccos(1-2*x/50)-(sin(2*arccos(1-2*x/50))/2))"

I modified it, inserting variables which I defined also in inventor, leading to this:

"sqrt(2)*height/2/sqrt(PI)*sqrt(acos(1-2*t/length)-sin(2*acos(1-2*t/length))/2))"

But both equations are not accepted by inventor due to unit errors. In this design, I'm using the metric system, millimeters, so I don't understand why and how I have to redefine this for the equation in order to get it working.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Graph A Curve Using Equation Over Closed Interval

Mar 15, 2013

Is there a way to graph a curve using an equation over a closed interval in Inventor 2012?  I know I can draw a spline through points that are solutions of my equation, but this does not guarantee that the curve is the graph of my equation.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Forcing Vertical Curve Low Or High Points To Specific And Precise Station?

Feb 27, 2012

Is there a way to force the Low Point or High Point in a vertical curve to a specific and precise station?

I can do it with grips, but it's imprecise.  In the project I am currently working on, I have some leeway regarding the slopes into and out of the vertical curve, so I have some flexibility, but some of the LPs and HPs need to precise.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change A Specific Attribute From Specific Block To Specific Value

Dec 7, 2011

I've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared.  It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be.  All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable.  Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit.  This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.

1> Any lisp routine that does what I describe?
or
2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?

AutoCad :: How To Create Curve Using Spline On Screen

Mar 27, 2012

When I create a curve using spline on the screen I have noticed that often the curve between the points of the spline will become as straight lines. When I click on a point the curve appears again as normal and as I wanted. Any way to stop it from happening? Is this simply a characteristic of AutoCAD or something I am doing wrong? Does the curve appear as desired when plotted? The curves I am referring to are sections of a ships hull.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Subassembly With Curve In It

Mar 7, 2013

I am trying to create a subassembly with a curve in it. See attached .pkt and .dwg files. Very small and simple.

When I attach the Subassembly to the Assembly, the event viewer shows "[Something wrong with current subassembly: The given key was not present in the dictionary.]  (Source:Subassembly.Subassembly1)"

The link that represents the curve does not display; only the tesselated points display. In the Subassembly Composer the curve does display.

The file called curved.zip needs to be renamed to curved.pkt. This forum does not allow attachment of files with pkt extension.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Invalid Input Message Trying To Create Curve Between Two Lines

Aug 20, 2013

I am receiving an invalid input message when trying to create a curve between two lines. My drawing  units are set to architectural. The problem is summarized as follows:

 1- In Lines/Curves menu, select curve between two lines.

 2-Select first tangent

 3- Select second tangent

 4-Select radius option

 5- Enter 8'6"

 6- After entering the radius I receive an invalid input message.

 7- But if I enter the radius as 102 (102 inches) the curve is created without any problem.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Create Polygon Viewport At Specific Scale

Apr 25, 2013

I'd like to run one command that allows the user to draw a polygon viewport then sets that VP to 1/8"=1'-0".

It can be nearly accomplished with a macro, but falls just short because the polygon vp requires an unknown number of clicks, so there is no way to know how many pauses for user input in the macro.
