I have drag-and-dropped a door onto a new layer of my drawing (units = mm).
Huge Door.jpg
The blue lines are the hinge corner of the door. I can't find a way to bring it down to a manageable size. Block Editor doesn't indicate any constraints, I just can't find a control which will reduce this thing's size.
i have created a door schedule and it seems to be missing the most important part, the sizes! When I go into Style Manager and click on the door shcedule and try to add columns size does NOT come up as a choice. I have added size to the property sets of the doors.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI had created a dynamic door block (my first one). As the block has door frame section on both ends, i need to place the linear distance parameter near the door hinge (and not on the basepoint for block insertion). This extends the door by 4" from the value of door opening i manually enter. Suppose i enter 42", the resultant opening will be 46". how can i make the block to accept only predefined sizes like 2'9", 3'0" etc
View 9 Replies View Relatedwhat is the secret for inserting the dynamic door block. It seems to want to rotate and flip around but I cant seem to find a way to control that when placing the door. Once it is placed I understand the swittches which adjust swint, door width and jamb thickness, but I usually have to use rotate and move command to get the door where I want it.
I am using AutoCAD LT 2011
How to make Doors and Windows with AutoCad? I know that we use the W (Write Block) command and the I (Insert) command, but I don't know how to use them. I believe that we have to be able to use the specifications that are giving to us and make the doors and windows.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the door swing arc to scale correctly as the width of the box is changed.
But the block is defying logic by scaling the arc radius exactly 5 units short of what it should be.
I've tried deleting, recreating, and chaining the parameter over and over only to have the same problem each time.
I have created a pretty nice dynamic door block with flip parameters - size changes - and visibility parameters for jamb/no jamb. However I would like to add an option for changing the door from 90 degrees, 45 degrees and closed. I can't use the visibility parameter since I am using that for jamb/no jamb option. I was hoping to add a rotate parameter, but am having issue with the arc line. Is there a way to have the arc move with the swing in the door? If so, I can add that to the more refined door block. I have attached Drawing 2 (Door with just the rotate parameter) and Drawing3 (More refined door dynamic block without the swing option).

I am having a horrible time getting the page size to not be a whole number - not 8.5x11. It will not change even going into all the options in set up. Object sizing is doing the same thing. Somehow I have also lost the letter size in the page options - comes up custom. The set up shows that it is 8.5x11, but cannot adjust when a page is open. Things just keep changing in my Corel that I haven't changed.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI working on a deadline with little sleep, but I cannot believe it is this hard to get an overhead door to look right. All I want is a 1" thick frame, the same depth as the wall AND the door slab to be INSIDE the frame like a real overhead door.
The attached PDF shows the standard OH door on the left with the stupid door centered in the frame. The door on the right is one I created by inserting a cased opening in the wall, then manually drawing a rectangle and dashed line for the OH swing. All I am interested in is getting this right in plan at this point. Using Architecture 64 bit.
I have ACAD Arch 2012 and I am trying to associate my door tags with my door schedule and visa versa. I get as far as creating the Door Schedule with all the doors on it and quantified just the way you would want to see it; however, the "Mark" remains "A" for every door. I discovered that I can change the Mark on the extended properties of each door, but I believe there should be a better (and more linked) way to accomplish this. Since the program already recognizes how many doors there are of a specific style it should be able to put sequential "marks" to each door, for example "A", "B", "C", etc.
what's the difference between Door Tags - Project Based and regular Door Tags?
--Is there a way to do a door schedule by styles rather than individual door?
--To clarify: I want my door schedule to create a new door number only when one or more of the property sets, classifications, or door styles pertaining to a door are not defined by other doors in the schedule. This would facilitate giving the same door number to multiple doors that have matching schedule information, and cut down on my schedule size.
--how to do this. If I need to create custom tags, schedules, or formula properties.
How can the dimensions for the system family door be shown in the door schedule?
I tried to make a instance paramater, type parameter, both through shared parameter for the doors in the family file, but they are still not showing up.

I have looked through other posts and can see how there is a is dynamic property, but just don't know how to apply it here. The function i have to update the attributes expects the object id of the block. Just don't know how to get that if the block is dynamic.

There is some random block in my drawing that has a random 3D UCS icon attached to it. When I mouse over it, it highlights a little orange square on the UCS.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having this problem for the first time with my most recent install of 2014 on a Windows 8 computer. When copying a line or any other object along another line as a base, when I type the distance that I want to copy the object, it deselcts the autosnap vector that I had specified. For example, now when I copy an object along a line at various intervals, I have to move my mouse after entering the distance each time to enable the object snap to reselect the direction I want to copy it (along a line that should stay selected through the object snap: nearest).
Is there some object snap or dynamic input setting that I need to change?
Do you need to use the join command on an object before making it into a dynamic block? I have these stairs I need to scale down to fit my floorplan, but when I place grips on it in order to scale them down, I can only scale of the block while the rest becomes totally distorted.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to set up a dynamic block so I can control the size of an object through parametric dimensions that are linked (somehow) to a lookup table, spreadsheet, list, etc.?
What I'm trying to do (simplified) is place a block of a rectangle, select a size from a dropdown list, and have the block change to be that size - but I don't want to do this through visibility states as there are hundreds of sizes. The whole point is to be able to construct a list, lookup table, excel sheet, etc and link it to parametric dimensions in the block, or at least be able to link a stretch action to parametric dimensions. But the block editor will not allow me to associate a stretch action with a parametric dimension (at least I haven't figured out how to do this.)
I created a dynamic block with text field that show the lenght of a line, but this line can be 0 and in that case I want that the text field will show nothing instead of "0".

I consider following problem: is it possible to create dynamic block with strech action include wipeout object (frames are turned off).

I would like to know if CS6, it is possible (when cropped an object with magic wand) to establish the margins that the subject must have respect to the edges of the image.
For example;) I'm 20 images (of same size) containing circles of different sizes. I wish that everyone was in the same format with margins fixed 25px from the edges of the image.
Resulting in the end, 20 pictures with circles of equal size.
I know this is located in other locations but I can't seem to make it work with my block.
I would like the cross and the text N to rotate independantly of the arrow while the N stays with the thick line. That's the easy part. How can I make the N move along the rotation path and keep the text aligned horizontally? I read something about linked action and move, but I can't make it work.
