Sometimes, I get drawings in which the Z co-ordinates of some objects are not zero. In such a case, fillets dont appear properly. I dont know why these objects get values for z co ordinate.
Is there any method to set the z co ordinate of all objects in a drawing to zero?

I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.
I have Autocad Map3D 2010. I have a set of points in a CSV file containing points, latitude and longitude, in columns, that I want to import to a map and place the points (houses) in the appropriate locations with the house number. I click IMPORT, MAP IMPORT, select my file as PNE and the data in the preview window appears correctly. I'm using OH83-SF coordinate code which the map is. When I click OK it appears to have completed the command but nothing appears on the map and I get no error notifications. As a test I put an incorrect value in one of the lists and it did flag the error. I've tried space delimiters, commas, txt and Excell tables and always the same - nothing. I've tried the command line MULTIPLE POINTS and entered the geo coordinates and again - nothing appears on the map.

So with Global Mapper I exported it to geo-referenced ECW.
I checked ECW in Global Mapper and ArcMap, everything just fine.
However when I did mapiinsert in Civil 3D, image appeared with shifted coordinates.
The original coordinate system of PDF and ECW is BC/Albers and coordinate grid is Lat/ Longs.

Work has finally given me a machine that can run AutoCAD properly and I now also have the office license of full AutoCAD 2011 (vanilla AutoCAD not architecture etc.)
I am about to start placing a lot of setting our coordinates onto some drawings and was wondering what the easiest/fastest way to produce setting out coordinates utilising all the fancy stuff AutoCAD has.
On LT I used to place points where I wanted the coordinates from, copy a peice of MText around say E:XXXXX N:XXXXXX with a leader from the point to the text. I would then go around listing each individual point and copy and paste from the AutoCAD text window to the MTEXT correcting the decimal point manually.
My director on this job hates tables of coordinates so I can't use them. Also the datum of the drawings is not world UCS, would this be a problem? I have looked at the LISP tutorial but have never used any LISP beyond this.
I was wondering if there was a way to set a point in autocad LT 08 using coordinates.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a method to export all the GPS coordinates which have been assigned to each point along with the properties of that point to an excel csv.
In our drawings, there are multiple columns and each column has four points and each point has X,Y,Z coordinates. I want to export all this information to an excel sheet.
In autocad 8, how could I get the XYZ coordinates of a point, on the drawing. With ID or list command it is possible to get the coordinates of a point, but they would not appear on the drawing the way dimensions do.

I was swapping between these 2 co-ordinates systems. I have drawings that have been started in ISG, but now the designs from 12D etc are being output in MGA, going forward MGA is now the standard and will have to be adopted.
How to convert from ISG - MGA? i have use of Autocad 2010, and also Autocad map 2008 however i'm new to cad map!! i also have use of microstation which seems to have more co-ordinate system features but i'm not familiar with them!

I have everything done. I thought ... The problem is when user firstly create AlignedDimension and after that he create RotatedDimension by using continous function. After that XLinePoint1 and XLinePoint2 are not parallel to the DimLinePoint (look at image).

I need to get the dimensions of a lot of centers from parts in a drawing for inspection with a laser tracker.

We are a couple of students just starting at our finale thesis at the university. We got some problems that we can't find a resolution to.
We are going to use Ultramarine MOSES to simulate a ship. We got the drawings as 2d construction lines (.dwg) and 3d (.igs) of the ship, and need all the coordinates, x,y,z of all lines, to the coding in MOSES.
Our problem is to get these coordinates from autocad. We have tried to open the dwg in autocad and use dataextraction to get the coordinates without any sucess. We have also tried the igs without any sucess there as well.

I've been trying to get the center coordinates of a viewport for the last few days with no consistent success. Here's the code I've been using:
using (Database _wdb = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase){using (Transaction _trn = _wdb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()){ Editor _ edt = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor; Viewport _cvp =(Viewport)_ trn. GetObject (_edt. Current Viewport ObjectId,Open Mode.ForRead); Point2d _try1 = _cvp.ViewCenter;Point3d _try2 = _edt.GetCurrentView().Target;} }
The "ViewCenter" property will occasionally return a valid point, but mostly they both return (0,0) or something similar.
Apart from FLATTEN, is there a way to change the Z coordinates of an MLEADER to stop the text from appearing bold.
FLATTEN explodes the MLEADER & is thus not suitable for this.
