AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Project Specific Feature Lines To X-sects
Mar 19, 2012I'm using feature lines created from utilities line work to label utility locations on section views. To avoid selecting each individual section view, I'm using Profile & Section Views, Section views, Project Objects To Multiple Section Views. This works great. Labels are placed on the Sections Views all at once, just requiring a little clean up of label locations. However, there are feature lines for other purposes in the drawing, and these are all labeled at the same time. Any way to select which feature lines will be projected? I've been erasing the extra labels, which is still faster then placing one label at a time per section view.

AutoCad :: Angle To Put A Line Of Specific Length Between Parallel Lines
Jun 23, 2012I am drawing a diagram to describe a mathematical word problem. Since it is easier to visualize with a drawing, I want to draw it using the given dimensions. But angles used in the diagram are unknown and are not needed for the answer to be calculated, so the only way to draw this freehand is to guess at the angle resulting in the correct distances to be off.
Here is the word problem: There are two ladders, one 40 feet and the other 30 feet, each touching the base of one of two buildings and leaning against the other building. If the ladders cross 10 feet above the ground, how far apart are the buildings?
So for my drawing, being rather simple considering what AutoCAD can do, results in this:
Can AutoCAD calculate the angle needed to place a line of a given length between two parallel lines that are a distance apart less than the length of the line to place between them, having the endpoints of this line touching the parallel lines, fitting exactly?
For the word problem, the distance between the two parallel lines is what needs to be solved and the math is quite invloved, having to find the roots or solution of a quartic equation. (I have the solution figured out to be 26.03287754 feet)
What I am afraid of is that this would require to program an AutoLISP routine to create a new command that one can call from the command line. I see it using the the measure command with relative and absolute co-ordinates. This may be far from a "beginner" question. I can do this quite easily on a peice of paper: having two parallel lines drawn, take a ruler and placing the "0" mark on one line, then adjusting the angle until the desired length just reaches the opposite parallel line. I used to use this trick quite often when drafting with pencil and paper to divide a distance into a required number of even amounts, so this can't be that difficult to do with AutoCAD!
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change A Specific Attribute From Specific Block To Specific Value
Dec 7, 2011I'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)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Hiding Sketch Or Changing Lineweight?
Dec 26, 2012(Image attached). I am using Inventor 2013 and Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a sketch within one of my views on my .idw. I would like to turn this sketch on or off based on the input from a variable that is read elsewhere. I have used the following code from the help file with no luck so far.
Public Sub SketchEdit() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument ' Determine if there are any sheet overlay sketches. Dim oSketches As DrawingSketches oSketches = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.Sketches If oSketches.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If ' Set a reference to the first sketch. Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch oSketch = oSketches.Item(4) oSketch.Edit() If vValue_Closer = "" Then oSketch.LineWeight = 0 Else oSketch.LineWeight = 0.007 End If ' Return from edit mode. oSketch.ExitEdit() End Sub
The code errors out on the line 'osketch = osketches.item(4)'. I have tried using a number like that, and I have also tried using the actual name of the sketch. Neither works.
oSketch = oSketches.Item("Closer_Reinf")
what to edit here to get it to look at my Closer_Reinf sketch to hide it/unhide it ?
AutoCad :: Can't Draw Lines With Different Lineweight?

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2013 - Toolbar That Controls Color Or Lineweight Of A Line
Aug 13, 2012Our office recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2005 to the new version AutoCAD Architecture 2013. I’m having difficulty finding the layer override toolbar for the lines. I have found that I can change the color and/or line type of an line in the properties dialog box but in AutoCAD 2005 there was a toolbar specifically assigned for the color, line type and line weight of a line. Dose that toolbar still exist in 2013 or do they control this in another location.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Change Multiple Lines Attribute To Single Line Attributes?
Jun 27, 2013I have a block which includes some Multiple lines attributes.
Now I don't want them to be multiple lines any more.
How can I change them to single line attribute?
In the block editor, the "Multiple lines" in the properties palette is gray out. I have create single line attribute and replace the multiple line attributes one by one.
Why don't make the Multiple lines property editable? This problem is since Multiple line attribute first time introduced.
Interesting thing is single line attributes can easily changed to multiple line attributes through the properties palette!
