AutoCad :: Rotation Of Drawings In Viewport Without Model Rotation
Sep 21, 2011I want to rotate a drawing in my paper space, but without rotating it in model space. So that I still can work on it easily in model space.

AutoCad :: North Arrow Rotation In Title Block With Rotation Property Editable In SSM
Jul 27, 2012I am making a template file having title block with fields. I use this template for creating layouts and sheets using Sheet Set Manager and the fields will be updated from the data of SSM. Now i would like to add a dynamic north block to my template. The block could be rotated (i have this block in file itself) and rotation angle could be inserted. Now how can i add a custom field to SSM so that i could set a rotation angle for the project and thus every new layout or sheet created using the template has the north block rotated with the angle mentioned in SSM.
Here is the file...........
AutoCad :: Rotation 1 Automatically Triggers Rotation 2?
May 15, 2007I have a North Arrow that I would love to make into a dynamic block. I would like to be able to rotate the N that represents where the north direction is. But while rotating the N around the center of a circle I would like the letter itself to stay un-rotated. It seems simple, if I rotate the letter around the axis of a circle 90 deg, I would like the letter itself to rotate -90 deg on it's own axis. Of course this is easy to do manualy, but how do i do it so that rotation 1 automaticaly triggers rotation 2?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMaya Animation :: Control Curves Rotation Axis Coinciding With Joint Rotation?
Jul 15, 2011When setting up a simple FK control curve on say the wrist for example, many times the control curve isn't exactly perpendicular to the local rotation axis of the joint movement, so when we position the control curve to be perpendicular to the joint - it has a rotational value added, but the rotational handles are lines up with the rotational handles of the joint that we want to move.
Freeze Transformations: then the control curves rotational handle go back to being skewed (out of alignment with the joints)
We want to Freeze transformations before constraining the curve, but we'd really to keep those rotations control handles to remain aligned with the joints rotational handles. This will make it an exact control when animating - grab the rotational handle of the curve, rotate it, and the joint will move exactly in the proper direction.
how to get the rotational handle of any control curve to run perpendicular to the shape after freezing transformations?
Illustrator :: Path Resets Rotation Of Gradient To Its Original Degree Of Rotation
Jan 13, 2014To summarize: It seems that compounding a path resets the rotation of the gradient to it's original degree of rotation.
Detailed version:
1. Create a shape.
2. Add a gradient fill. Note it's degree of rotation. Let's say it's set at 10°.
3. Now rotate the shape by any means (transform or rotate tool). Note the gradient degree of rotation has shifted the same amount as the shape was rotated (if it was rotated 50°, the gradient will show at 60°).
4. Make it a compound path.
5. Instantly the gradient shifts back to it's original degree of rotation of 10°.
It appears that when rotating a shape with a gradient, the rotation of the gradient is locked to the rotation of the shape. But when making it a compound shape it releases that lock and "remembers" it's original state. But that is only true as soon as you make it a compound path, but if you no go ahead and rotate it just a bit using the cursor (as opposed to selecting transform > rotate), the gradient will switch back to how you would expect it to rotate in the first place...
Workaround would be to make it a compound path before rotating the shape at all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Global Edit / Block Attributes Rotation BACK To Match Block Rotation
Dec 13, 2012using AutoCAD 2009 (vanilla)
I got too smart for myself today in bringing an old drawing up to current standards...Everyone seems to want their block attributes to be zero - I have blocks where the attributes are best when they match the rotations of each blocks.
I have an old drawing that was rotated (as it should be) at approx 2deg.
I used a lisp routine to global edit all the blocks that needed to be at zero. BUT for some reason (and after hundreds of blocks were corrected), I noticed I now have two blocks that should NOT have been in the set have had their attributes rotated to zero....and the attributes should be at the same rotation as their block's rotation.
Because those two blocks have a fixed tic mark, I can click on the mark to see what the block rotation is, then rotate its attribute to that rotation, but I have hundreds of blocks! One-at-a-time sucks....
Any chance there is a GLOBAL way to edit an attribute rotation to match its own block's rotation?

Jan 21, 2013I'm having a strange problem using loaded .BIP file on a biped in 3D studio Max. The biped doesn't allow me to make rotation and translation changes on the head, attached bones and the feet and hands. This only occurs in the viewport!
Altering the rotation and translation keys in the biped workbench editor works fine. but obviously not very practical . I already tried to add a new layer above the current biped animation. But without successful results Also exporting the animation to a .BIP file and reassign it to the biped didn't work.
One thing I have done is using the motion flow system. After finalizing the animation I created an unified motion which is available in the flowgraph options. In order to convert the motion flow structure to real keys.
AutoCad :: Model Space To Paper Space Rotation
Jul 22, 2011My company recently hired out some AutoCAD work. The task they completed was to load our drawings from pre-CAD days (1970s and 80s) into AutoCAD and update them with new piping and notes. Somehow, when they did this, the drawings in model space ended up sideways, but they are right-side-up in paper space. This is making it very difficult to work with the drawing in model space. A simple rotation of the entire model space drawing does not solve the problem because the xref files are correctly oriented, and they do not rotate with the added notes, etc. Also, it does not work to rotate just the notes and realign the leaders because then the drawing ends up sideways in paper space.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Model Space / Paper Space Rotation?
Sep 28, 2012I have a file where model space is on a straight axes, that is straight horizontal and vertical axes but in paper space the dwg shows up rotated to true north.
I believe in fact that model space has been rotated FROM true north to a straight axis to make it easier to work on but paper space has been left at true north.
How can I manipulate the views so they are BOTH (model and paper space) on a straigh axis, (not true north) and also generally how does this manipulation of the UCS work.
As a side question, when I want to manipulate the UCS in paper space do I go into a model space mode ( so the viewport frame becomes active (bold), or do I remain in paper space mode within the paper space window).

Nov 28, 2011I am working on an old drawing with 2007 LT. When I draw a horizontal line in modelspace, It shows as a vertical line in a viewport of the layout.

How is this set up? How could I rotate back in the view?

Aug 22, 2011My company is useing LDD2009, as well as map. when we make notations in our plans we use a block that is basicly a square with an attribute inside to represent a number, the nuber then corresponds to the same number and a description in a table.
Now, I have been asked to create / recreate (a)the block that would rotate per viewport, also; we are not usin dynamic leaders.
is there a way to either continue with the block or create a dynamic leader that would rotate per viewport, even in other drawings that have xrefs attached like Plan & Profile sheets that are separate drawings.
I'm not sure how autocad would handle the rotating as well as the location of the block and still have the leader point in the same place.

AutoCad :: Text In Dynamic Block (rotation)
Nov 25, 2013I'm just trying my hand at learning to create some dynamic blocks, but need a solution to keep the text unrotated. I have attached a file of my troublesome file for you experts to look at, if possible.
PileTest.dwg
The file is basically a plan view of 4x foundation columns for overhead line towers (pylons). These towers can be different sizes and at different orientations, hence the dynamic options I have applied. However, when I rotate the block I want the text to rotate with it (to keep aligned with each column A, B, C, D), but I don't want rotation to be applied to the text, if that makes sense?
I have a feeling that constraints might work, although I know nothing about them, but these usually lag my PC. At present I am having to explode the block and apply a 0 rotation to all the text.
