AutoCad :: Variable In C3D That Sets Whether Or Not Snap To Actual Elevations
Jul 12, 2012
Isn't there a variable in C3D that sets whether or not you snap to actual elevations or not?
I'm new to C3D but have ran LDD 09 for years. I have imported points in C3D flattened to an elevation of 0. (planimetrics only) When I draw a line by point range, the line will be at an obscene elevation, either positive or negative. If I use the CHANGE command and reset the elevation of the line to 0, then the line is at the actual elevation of the points (~1075.00).

Lines snap at an offset distance (0.0000274 m e.g.) from the actual point. What change of settings can resolve it?

Being new to 13LT I'm not sure if they have included a system variable that would allow the origin of a snap inside a command to automatically start at the first selection point. In the old days (ACAD2000) I was able to customize my keypad to function as a protractor with the 5 key being the @ symbol. We did that with an autolisp which rules that out.

We recently had a draftsman that drew with snap on (he no longer works here), and now all the drawings he worked on have this setting turned on. I thought it would be as simple as opening up the drawings and either hitting F9 or clicking on the toggle to turn off snap. That doesn't seem to be the case. Snap mode seems to be tied to individual sheets, and every viewport. I have multiple sheets in a drawing and each sheet has multiple viewports. The last thing I want to do is open every drawing, click in every viewport on every sheet to turn off snap.
I have snapmode set to 0, but it will only turn it of in whatever sheet or viewport is active. I have to write a lisp routine that will go through every viewport on every sheet to set snapmode to 0?

I'm attempting to write a batch script to add some layers to a pre-existing image and save a copy. I've gone through the tutorial, and have run the demo code from Basic_Batch with no errors, but my (what I think of as simple) script throws an "Error: eval: unbound variable: ?" It also seems to cascade the error to other scripts, as I then get "unmatched parentheses: 2" errors from what I assume to be the script immediately following my own during Script-Fu load. This occurs whether running from batch or clicking "Refresh Scripts" from the Script-Fu menu.
What I could find on this forum and Google suggests that I may be required to 'define' one or more of my variables before using it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out which one that would be, and the error (reporting that '?' is undefined!?) I've quintuply (probably more ~_^) checked my parenthesis matching, but they look fine to me.
In case this was an encoding issue, I've tried saving my .scm file as both UTF-8 and ANSI. I should also note that I'm running Windows 7 x64 in English-US.
Script:
(define (script-fu-build-imagebasefilemytext)(let*((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE basefile basefile)))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))(title (car (gimp-text-layer-new image mytext "Courier" 18 UNIT-POINT))))(gimp-image-add-layer image title -1)(gimp-image-clean-all image)(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "K:\\Images\\Temp.gif" "Temp.gif")));
Since I intend for this script to only be run from batch, I haven't bothered including the typical register stuff.

What are the rules for how elements (specifically, collections and other collection sets) are ordered within a collection set?
I was trying to get a collection to appear at the top of the list of items in a collection set, but it seems to get stuffed below all the other collection sets regardless of the name given to the collection.

Snap commands in X6? I can not get the snap to grid to turn off. The button is off and the setting is set to off in options. Objects seem to snap all over not just to the grid. And the grid snap seems to be out of alignment-I cant seem to get objects to snap exactly to the grid.
The same files reopened in X5 are fine. This started with yesterdays install of 6.2. leaving X2 completely unusable.

I'm trying to snap one object to the other with vert snap.
It's trying to snap from the center of my object rather then the vert I am hovering over. In the Snap settings I have only "vertex" checked so it should snap to whatever vertex I hover over but no...This keeps up I'm going back to 2008 when all this worked fine.

I am having trouble with annotating my AutoCAD Map 3D. I tried to annotate a feature I added to the map, but I simply get the word "Text" by the symbol. I was hoping to get the actual name of the feature.

When I drag around vector points of paths they are not constrained to the pixel grid, when the option "Snap Vector Tools and Transform to Pixel Grid" is off. This is the behavior I expect.BUT: When I drag whole paths, they snap to the pixel grid, no matter what. I even have snapping completely disabled.
This is particularly annoying when eg. creating a path for a zipper. I first make a path for the inside of the jacket or whatever, then I make one notch for the zipper and copy it over and over again for all the notches. It's very troubling when these elements snap to the pixel grid, because it's very unprecise then.

. How to assign proposed elevation to layout alignment along each station?. I know there is a way in LDT to assign proposed elevations to s specific range of stations or the full alignment, under menu "profiles/ FG Vertical Alignments/Create COGO Points" I am looking for the same one in C3D.
2. How to add connecting alignment label and station in profile view. For example I have an main alignment and in-between lot of other alignments are meeting with this alignment.
I want to show in profile view of the main alignment the meeting alignment's name and the station it meets with?

When I am creating a drawing, every so often, when I draw something, it gives me different elevations for the Z axis. Is there a way to keep that at 0? I'm not sure if it's because of vendors blocks, or whatever the reason, and I know how to change the elevation back to 0, but how do I stop it from starting to begin with?

In C3D 2012, when I needed to know what elevation a surface contour was at, I simply hovered my mouse near the point in question and a small window would tell me what elevation my mouse was hovering at. Now, in 2013 I am trying to do the same thing but the little window only has the name of the surface and no elevations. So, how am I supposed to know surface elevations on the fly? Is there some setting to turn that back on?

I'm trying to label elevations on some large contours.
The problem i'm having is that 'multi line' does not give me enough elevations, while 'advanced placement' gives far to many elevations for mapping and plotting purposes. Is there a way to have more control on how Map labels contours?

My problem is that I require to extract coordinates from specific points on the drawing and set them out on the ground at the real location.
On the drawing there are several base station locations with known coordinates. I have tried coordinating the drawing using Ctrl a, move, then type in the known coordinates of one of the base station location but nothing happens. I have also set the drawing to world with no change.
The coordinates in the bottom left corner are shown but are around 500m out.

I am trying to verify the actual area of a floor plan however when I "list" the polyline of the floor plan, I am getting two different figure when opened in Autocad 2012 and LT 2011. For instance, the area calculated in autocad 2012 is 900sqm vs LT 2011 is 850sqm.
It is only for this particular file that has this discrepancy. Other files I have tried gave the same area between the two versions. We have the setting setup as the same in terms of units etc.

I need to print out a map the actual dimensions of the map are 36x65. For some reason, btw this has worked in the past. I have tried all the troubleshootings i can think of like, printing from a new project with default settings, printing from the view ports, even in the model worksheet. I tried making the paper size longer, i have tried window, limit, everything. But for all the reason i can not understand it always just plots exactly at 36 x55.. i have plotted things that are 36 x 80+ so i know i don't have a length limit.
