Is it possible to input an arithmetic expression (like 0.7*24) when a command asks for input value? For example during offset command. I thought it is possible to use calculator command inside a command but there was no success.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want record a macro to update a title block. We've revised the formatting of our title block. The block name is the same, only some appearances change.
I noticed in the insert command, "You can replace an existing block definition with an external file by entering block name=file name." This would be great. I could just type in the block name and the file name and AutoCAD would replace the current with the new version in the file. Then do an ATTSYNC and we're done.
*EXCEPT*
The path and the block name both have spaces in them. Is there any way to make AutoCAD stop taking the space as a return?
I've update AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD 2013 and I have a problem when I type "L" or "C" to draw a line or a circle, the command line says "Unknown command "L". Press F1 for help". It's the same thing if I fully type the command "line" or "Circle". But some other commands works normally.
Working on:
Windows 7
Intel Core i7 2.93Ghz
8 Go RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800
Have tried the ARRAYPOLAR command on AutoCAD 2012 and seems that there is a problem with the prompter asking for number of items. It seems to randomly accept or reject the numerical keyboard input:
Command: ARRAYPOLAR
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:
Type = Polar Associative = Yes
Specify center point of array or [Base point/Axis of rotation]:
Enter number of items or [Angle between/Expression] <4>: 10
Specify the angle to fill (+=ccw, -=cw) or [EXpression] <360>:
[code]...
Why AutoCAD 2013 turn off dynamic input when we use the insert command. It happens only when using dynamic blocks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a rectangular box in Autodesk Inventor 2008, shell it, and create a new sketch on any face and press E I expect to be greeted with the extrusion options. This does not happen, and a command alias input dialog appears in the status bar.
I really want to turn this off, since it has happened on other occasions as well. Since there's no other way to get to the extrusion feature, it completely halts my work.
Usually when I don't know what a feature is for and I'm not attempting to use it I expect to not see it- especially when I perform actions that don't usually bring it up. I'm not sure why the behavior has been put there. Hopefully it's not put into later versions (I've seen 2010 complaints as well) so someday an upgrade will remove the annoyance.
I have recently had my 2007 upgraded to 2010 and I'm finding it annoying that everytime I use the distance command the DYN button turns on and I get too much information on the screen as well as a little box I have to exit everytime. How to keep the DYN button switched off? I'm just happy to have the distance information in the command bar at the bottom.

Previous version(AutoCAD 2008,2009,2010,2012) CAD worked well.
My need is to create up to 50 points from the same origin in a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system but I’d also like to have a labels for each point that show up in the feature tree.
Are there Inventor 2013 plugin (i.e., add-on, 3rd party, AP) to convert a list 3D Cartesian coordinate system locations (i.e., points) to Inventor to work points(x, y, z)?
I found that I cannot create 3D points in the assembly. Is this correct? I did find that an Inventor part may be used to create a 3D sketch that creates points in 3D space. In the past few days, I found two ways to create 3D points within a iPRT; the batch way uses an Excel file but it then does not allow me to name the points in the feature tree. The second way is to create them one at a time but that take way too much time.
I saw another thread on this, but it went unanswered, so I am going to ask it with some better information.I installed inventor pro 2012, and it was working fine for a few days, but it now is missing the input boxes for the Precise Input window. URL....

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm mainly work in 3D software (C4D, 3Ds Max). I have a client that wants to do high end traffic renderings. They have supplied me with the Infrastructure Design Suite 2014.
I received an old Microstation file from them, which I have then brought in to Civil 3D. I would like to add surfaces to this file so then I can export to 3Ds Max, and use Civil View to incorporate the design, and then traffic simulation data from VISSIM.
I have researched the entire work flow, the only thing holding me up is adding the surfaces to this Microstation file. It seems this is maybe not very common as I am having a hard time finding any tutorials or documentation on the internet.
i created new polygon´s SDF (ACAD Civil,Map2011). And created new feature from geometry (from 2 closed plines - island). See on attached picture. If polygons are more complex =erroneous result from calculation ("Round ( Area2D ( Geometrie ), 0 ) "). It means ACAD calculate sum 2 areas together, but It should dedust island from main polygon.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD 2013 x64 and VS2012 Express with ObjectARX 2013. Now I want to calculate the (projected) intersection point of 2 (intersecting) lines in vb.net
After selecting the lines I have this line1.IntersectWith(line2, Intersect.OnBothOperands, intpts, 0, 0)
In Visual studio express 2012 I get the following warning for the above line of
warning BC40000: 'Public Sub IntersectWith(entityPointer As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Entity, intersectType As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Intersect, points As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3dCollection, thisGraphicSystemMarker As Long, otherGraphicSystemMarker As Long)' is obsolete: 'Use the overload taking IntPtr instead.'.
So, if I'm reading this correctly, this method is outdated and I should use an other method to calculate the intersection. But I really don't know what 'Use the overload taking IntPtr instead' means.
One of the things I found is a function that contains this line of Dim inters As Point3d = line1.IntersectWith(line2)(0). This one looks almost the same, but doesn't give me the warning when I compile the code, but this method crashes AutoCAD when there is no intersection between the lines. This is despite a try catch block that surrounds the code.
For now I just want to use lines, but I need to expand the code so it will also work with circles, arcs and polylines.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm struggling with the maths needed to calculate the angle between 3 points. My eventual aim is to use vba to draw a crescent shape polyline, ie 2 arcs curving in the same direction and joiing at their tips. Both arcs will have different centrepoints but the same radius. The only info I know so far is radius (R), centrepoints (CP1, CP2) and the intersection points where their end points meet (IP1, IP2). I've gotten those points by using the 'IntersectWith' function on two circles.
My coding skills are fine it's just the maths I'm struggling with and after searching google for quite some time I'm still confused. I've looked at loads of differnet formulaes and diagrams, but it always seems like they aren't complete. Maybe it's just me.
