i measure the angle between two lines. the value of angle is displayed in command line but annotation letters are so small i can't see them. i don't want to zoom to every angle i measure. how to make those annotations bigger size?
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to have AutoCAD use the "right angle symbol" instead of showing 90 degrees when it measures right angles?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have created the following code in VB.NET that i allows you to calculate the internal angle of a polyline. First delivery getting the angle of deflection, a ves obtained 180 you rest this and get the inner corner. All fine, as long as the polyline is the image-1.png. Otherwise, if the polyline is as in the image-2.png there is an error in the vertex B.
That algorithm could follow in order to comply with the correct value. Since later this data i presented it in a table of AutoCAD.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to bring an element (a building's floor plan) in one drawing into another drawing where it can be joined onto another building and the site plan.
The thing is, the UCS of the destination drawing is different from the first drawings. The Y-Axis in the destination drawing is pointing somewhere beyond the 3 O'clock position while it is still at 12 o'clock in the first drawing.
How do I determine the exact angle of the rotated UCS in order to insert the element at the right angle?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this block. It's called Linear Stock. In this block, there are 2 visibility states. The one that I'm looking at currently is called Stretch with Angled Ends.
What I'd like to have happen is for the angles created when I stretch each grip to the proper location to be readable by a table or excel document. I know that I need a parameter for this to happen, but I'm not sure how to make it happen.
Using AutoCAD2011
I have been using until saturday Windows Vista and Autocad 2008, with out any problem, at least that windows vista was slowly.
So I decide to upgrade my notebook and I add windows 7 - 64 bit and change my autocad to a 2010 version for this windows 7 as well.
The acrobat is the 8 version.
The problem is the following:
I was able to work normally with this soft, but when I need to plot in PDF a drawing bigger than A0 page, it does not plot. If I add an A0 it works fine. Then I went to properties, change the page to a PostScript, and change paper size to 2100 mm in height and width, but anyway It still dont work.
Is there anything I must set before ploting a bigger size page, with the new Autocad 2010 or with windows 7??
I'm working on a siteplan. It's drawn in 1:1 and shall in A1 print to 1:750. Now, when I want to plot and go to layout, the drawing is way bigger than the frame. I have in paper space set up my 'page set up' as to paper - A3, print - layout, 1 mm- 1 unit and have the viewport scale set to 1:1500. Why is the drawing still outside the frame?? How do I get the right size?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Civil 3D 2012. I am drawing a water line in a profile with a vertical scale of 1" = 10'. I am trying to draw lines at 45 deg angles to account for standard fittings.
Now, I tried to block a 45 deg angle and exaggerate the y scale, but for some reason this does not work well mathematically. Is there a way to draw lies at a certain slope, or at a certain angle from another line, while taking into consideration the scale exaggeration?
In a part file is it possible to find the adaptive workplanes used to create extrusion1. And then find if the two workplanes are at an angle with respect to the origin planes.
Have been looking for a while but it seems hard to find information on workplanes
When I create a line using dynamic input, I key in the length, TAB, and the angle. Is there a toggle setting somewhere that will allow me to enter angles greater than 180°? Drawing Units are set to Base angle north (270°) angles in D-M-S measured clockwise, yet dynamic input angles are measured from east (0°) both clockwise and counterclockwise. I.E. an input of 90° gives me either north or south, depending on where the cursor is located.
Ideally, I would like to be able to enter either 225° or -135° and have the line head off to the southwest. So far, I'm stymied and have to resort to command line entry. How to make dynamic input do what I want it to?
In the course of working up a tooling proposal, I attempted to replicate a 3D part from a customer print. While doing so, I noticed that 3D Sketch will not, under any circumstances that I can find, allow an angular dimension between a line and a plane. The customer print has two pipes projecting at odd angles from a base flange, one of which has an elbow. The print lists datum dimensions for the open pipe ends and the elbow, and gives vertical and horizontal angular dimensions to define the directions in which the pipes emerge from the flange. I have defined these three datum points in 3D space without any trouble, but Inventor 2013 will not allow me to define an angle between these sketchlines and the XZ and YZ origin planes, or between these sketchlines and the faces of the flange base I've constructed.
I am currently waiting on a proper 3D CAD model from the customer, and I'm considering longhand trigonometric calculations to place these lines properly, but I find it very hard to believe that Inventor is incapable of constraining a line to lie along what is effectively the surface of a cone.
Using:
Inventor 2013
AutoCAD 2013
I am using inventor 2012. Is there a way to ordinate dimension angles? For example dimensioning an irregular bolt pattern in a flange.

I'm sure it has something to do with UCS, but I've not used it in quite some time, I am stumped and everything I have tried so far has failed.
I have a arc that is about 21.5 radius and .5 in width. My problem is that it is going on a bench that i have made and the corner piece needs to be cut out and i am trying to figure how to make this line look like an actual piece. I can extrude the piece to 21 inches tall, but then i need it tapered back to fit this bench were making.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an 11 x 17 border (true). I am printing on an 11 x 17 sheet (true). I have specified 11 x 17 sheet in plot dialogue box.
SO WHY IS MY PRINTABLE AREA 11.5 X 17.5??
i have established LIMITS at the corners of my border. there is nothing else outside the border.
this is for a template. i would like to establish the 11 x17 LAYOUT and lock it in position, never to be changed again. If someone wants to print a portion or outside they can use WINDOW, or EXTENTS, but, when LAYOUT is selected i want to see an 11 x17 rectangle eliminating from the 0,0 point and nothing else.
I've been trying to work out how to generate a whole lot of smaller drawings from a bigger drawing, automatically through Scripting and Lisp programming. Each of these smaller drawings would be based on a rough 20 metre buffer of the property boundaries inside it. Each drawing created would preferably be the expression of the House number + Street name, which are in each property boundary parcel as object data. What I have been doing in the past is attaching and querying the required drawing one by one but this takes a while and we are about to get a whole shed load more to be done.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe issue I have with Inventor 2010 is when i dimension a rectangle to be 44 in wide and 79 in height it becomes a slated rectangle. This event occurs on the work version of Inventor 2010. I have an educational version of Inventor 2010 at home and when I tried this same dimension rectangle at home it didn't have this issue. Is there a setting I need to turn off to fix this.
