I have a DI-3C structure that I want to stretch to specific throat lengths. I want hold the stretch from front mid point of the line with the lookup for throat lengths. I'm not getting where to do my first corner of stretch frame.
View 2 RepliesI'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)?

I have created a dynamic block. Herein I placed stretch actions parameter set to strecht parts including anotative text.
Now the block seems to work fine.
- When I am in modelspace and I change the annotation scale the text is changed correct
- When I am in modelspace and I change the stretch value of the dynamic block everything goes fine.
But when I am in modelspace and I change the stretch value in one of the annotiaton scales and then switch to another scale my text is changed annotativly (this is what I want) but the stretch value is set back to default (which should be at the changed value).
Im using Autocad Structural Detailing 2013. Its is possible to make specific command to start at specific layers?
EX: Breakline ,by default start at "LAYER 88".
Polyline ,by default start at "LAYER 150".
I am basically looking for a way to get the length of each polylie segment in the overall polyline. Not the total length.
I then need to comapre these lengths. I guess I could do some math to get the values of the verticies, but is there a built in method to do this? how to get started?
I'm having a minor issue with one of my drawings. The existing drawing was a .hln file that I have opened in AutoCAD 2011 LT.
I tried to draw a line of length 1600mm but when I take a dim it's only 145mm but via properties its 1600mm. The drawing is attached zoomed-in on issue area.
How i'm adding lengths of individual plines...I am running MEP 2013 and lately we've been doing a lot of measuring of plines...The problem i'm having is that we are supposed to add 24' to every length...So if I measure a polyline and it's 10' long, the number i'm supposed to be putting on the drawing would be 34'...Is there a way to create a command that will automatically add what I need to every pline?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm creating an assembly and in this assembly I need to add some foam pieces. These pieces are the exact same part number but can vary in length. How can I make such a part so that i can insert it into an assembly multiple times but have different lengths? I'd rather not make multiple pieces of foam for every single assembly for all of our product lines and am looking for the "one foam to rule them all" option. I would assume this would be an ilogic component I would have to create, but i haven't really made a part like that yet.

I had to go out yesterday and measure an house indoors. Anyway the room is not square but sort of an triangle. I have measured 3 wall sides.
How to arrange them so that I get an triangle. I could draw 3 lines and then start rotating them till I get satisfactory result but can this be done any quicker?
When a bolted connection is used, the bolt changes in length as the stackup of hardware increases and decreases. I have noticed that if I do not grab the red arrow to adjust the length, the amount the bolt extends past the nut
seems to be only about 2 threads. What is the formula Inventor uses to determine this extended length?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to have a table that updates when I change the length of a polyline, These lines are split up into segments for different types of materials. We usually add this up manually but would like to find a solution that is a little more automated.
I have mostly a background in GIS and have excellent knowledge of Autocad Map. I came up with a solution by creating a shapefile and making a multi-part feature for the segments. I added a table and connected to the .dbf file of the shapefile. I then calculate out the lengths of the line and update the attribution of the shapefile. Easy and took a few minutes to do.
I just want to know if there is a better way of doing this. I have did some searching and have found some information about alignment tables.
Are there any working .arx files or lisp routines that would enable me to calculate a total length of multiple blocks ? I know there is TLEN out there but this does't work for blocks, I need something that will calc combined lenghts of my user defined blocks which are basically simple lines of varying lenghts.

View 5 Replies View RelatedLabeling lines with their lengths,
I got the attached lisp file from the web which automatically labels the lines with their length. Resulting the values of the length in the absolute values of the length instead of saying that the length is in inch. i.e, i need to remove the inch sign (") from the suffix of the length.
I need a macro to auto label, with DIMLINEAR, the lines for Rafters with the lenghts. I have the Dimension Styles set up for each roof pitch, but need a macro to auto label the line instead of clicking each line individually. Also, I can't find a ROUNDUP feature in the Dimension Styles. I've got it to round to the nearest 2' but it won't go up....if it's 11' it goes to 10'...I need it to go to 12'.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI checked a couple of old posts looking for a lisp routine that will count the number of lines and list each different length either in a dialog box or txt file. I am working on an estimate and I have a floor plan of owsj of different lengths. I downloaded the tlen.lsp but that is only giving the total number of joists and the total length.
I am looking for a lisp so that I can window all the owsj at once and have it list or show the result for the joist in this manner
sample output:
xx joists = 10'-0"
xx joists = 20'-0"
xx joists = 30'-0"
I was told there is a way to combine the lengths of the same spec pipe you use in an assembly, all pipes I use is from the content centre and I just can't seem to find how to make it one pipe with the length of all the pipes added together in the parts list.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to use a sketch as the basis for a rectangular pattern which is set up to use the curve length for both directions of the rectangular pattern so that when I update my rectangle in a sketch, the pattern automatically adjusts to the new sketch. I have sketched a rectangle, and used one leg of the rectangle to establish the direction and length of one dimension of the array.
However, when I try and choose the Direction 2, my only options are the entire rectangle or faces- I can no longer select other and choose a single side of the rectangle.
I was able to accomplish what I wanted by using two sketches, with the second sketch simply projecting one leg from the first sketch. Using one sketch just seems inherently safer than trusting projected geometry.Is there a way to accomplish this with one sketch instead?

I have created a few new structural parts that I am in the process of publishing to the content center.
I got one of them in and have it working very well except for one item. If I place this structural piece into an assembly as a stand alone part just selecting the length and the material as the key inputs, it shows the proper length in the part number and the description just fine. If I insert this same structural piece in a skeleton using the frame generator, then the length that shows up in the description is the default one that the part was originally created to. How do I get the length to show up in the frame BOM correctly when parts are created using the frame generator?
This works using the structural members out of the box.
The task should be similar to the _measure command but, I would like to divide the spline into lengths that I give in input. (Decided by user)
e.g. Length of spline: 10.000 meters
Place a block at length:
- 1238 m
- 2005 m
- 2018 m
- 2458 m
- 4098 m
and so on..
How I can do that? It would be perfect if it would be possible to give an excel file with the length values.
If I have a series of lines on a layer, is it possible for a macro to place a label for the lengths of the lines at the center of each line in AutoCAD LT 2012? Adding a DIMLINEAR to each line is for the birds....my drawings have as many as 250-300 lines that need to be labeled with thier lengths.......
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to create a triangular grid of injection boreholes with side lengths of 2m and can't think of a slick way to do it.
I've created two linear arrays of polyline at the correct spacings and MAPCLEANed to break all the crossing lines so I now have line segments at the correct locations.I now need to put a point at each vertex to show the locations of the holes.
I'm sure there must be a better way of doing this - just thinking while typing: if the two array are on different layers, I could JOIN the polys on each layer and then add POINTS at vertices??
