Feb 10, 2012I'm trying to change a routine i just wrote that draws 3d pipes. I wanted to make it so that when a user selects the beginning point and ending point of the pipe, the LISP changes the ucs to that vector, draws the circle at the beginning point and extrudes it to the second point.
It actually works great except when the ucs changes, so do my user points because of teh origin change. Is there a better way I might get this to do what I wnat it to?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use ILogic To Replicate Old School Method Of Replacing Drawing References?
Dec 14, 2011Is there a way to use iLogic to replicate the old-school method of replacing drawing references? (ie, where you'd temporarily rename the originally referenced file, open the drawing, and then point it to the new file after Inventor says it can't find the original)
Longer version:
I have an iLogic configurator that manipulates skeletal models, copies them out as new files, and swaps them into template drawings. The original skeletal model can be configured in several different ways (different features, surfaces, etc), so I have several template drawings set up for each model depending on the configuration.
The problem that I'm encountering involves the order in which the drawing is loaded and then has its references replaced. When first opened, the drawing loads the original skeletal model which doesn't have all the geometry of the "new" model for which the particular template drawing was intended. This makes most of my section and detail view constraints go belly-up. After subsequently replacing the model references with the "new" model with the correct geometry, the section and detail view constraints fail to resolve themselves, and my once-perfect detail drawing is ruined.
If I instead force the drawing to open with the new model from the git-go (via the workaround discussed above), everything loads perfectly. However, I haven't yet found a way to handle this automatically with iLogic.
FWIW, I am currently using the following code in a subroutine:
DESTINATIONDOC=ThisApplication.DOCUMENTS.Open(TemplateDrawing, False)
DESTINATIONDOC.SAVEAS(filePath&Left(PN,6)&".idw", False)
DimSTRNEWREFNAMEAsString

AutoCAD 2013 :: Not Drawing In Z Axis?
Nov 11, 20131. With Ortho on, I can't draw a line, circle or else in z axis. In other words, if I select 'Front Plane in orhtographic view', I can't draw up vertical any line, circle or else.
2. With Ortho off, I can draw a line in z axis (Front Plane in orthographic view) but can't draw a circle yet.
3. With orhto on, I can draw a line in z axis (Isometric view) but can't draw the circle.
I think this problem is mainly due to UCS as I've accidently met such a problem in AutoCAD 2007. But restoring to previous view, the problem was resolved there.
what is to be done to enable drawing in z direction.

AutoCad :: Drawing A Line At Angle With Another Line As X Axis?
Oct 22, 2011I have to draw a rather weird drawing with a lot of angled lines. Currently I'm using UCS to draw them but it's really tiresome.
I would draw 1 line, then type in UCS, select the X and Y axis, draw that line, escape, then hit in UCS again, rinse and repeat.
Is there a simpler way? I tried polar tracking "relative to last segment" but it still uses the x axis as the base, which is not what I want. I want the line to be the X axis.

Jan 29, 2014I'm making a logo for someone by hand-drawing a font I made up. But because I was having trouble drawing a perfect letter 'O', I'm using the "Circle/Ellipse" tool to do it.

I don't know where to start the action with the tool! The completed shape always ends up in the wrong place. How to get my finished shape to complete just where I want it to? (Re-sizing the shape won't work because that changes the thickness of the line I used for the letter 'O'.)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: SSA Rational Method
Sep 20, 2013SSA rational method. I have to compare results of rational method between SSA and another product. Plain rational method, steady flow, Darcy-Weisbach. Times of concentration (TOC) are manually defined.
I played a bit with the units, formulas, IDF curve is defined as pair of values time/intensity. Seems that I achieved something. Results are more or less similar, but there are some differences. After playing with both programs, comparing in Excel, think that I found what is different.
So, I have very simple example, of one channel with catchment areas. All areas have the same runoff coefficient – 0.8. Pipe diameters are constant (500). The whole analysis is restricted between 5 and 10 minutes of rain duration (5 min-397.22 l/s/ha and 10 min – 321.53 l/s/ha). I converted IDF to mm/hr. So I have the next example:
[picture in attachment]
In theory, what I learned about rational method, there is next definition:
Intensity from IDF curve is defined by TOC. TOC is defined by sum of „entrance time“ (which is defined by shape and size of catchment area) and sum of upstream flow times. In my example I defined 5 min for every area.
So, for example for pipe nr. 3, TOC is calculated:
TOC_3 = Entrance time for area 3 + Tflow_1 + Tflow_2 + Tflow_3
For example:
TOC_3 = 5 min + 0.67 + 0.45 + 0.51 = 6.63 min
That TOC_3 (6.63 min) is base for reading appropriate value of intensity (I_3) from IDF curve. The flow in pipe 3 is then calculated:
Q_3 = I_3 * (A1 * k1 + A2 * k2 + A3 * k3)
This is the way how I learned rational method. But results between SSA and another product (which works in a way explained above) are different. Differences increase downstream.
After playing with results in Excel, I found out that SSA does not summarize in TOC all flow times upstream. So TOC in SSA is calculated simply by initial entrance time and flow time in specific pipe:
TOC_3 = Entrance time for section 3 + T_flow_3
So, there is no time added from T_flow of pipes 1 and 2. Seems that it is major difference which leads to final results differences. I tried to understand all options of SSA to find possibility to add upstream flow times, but without success.
