Nov 15, 2013it's possible to export informations stated in "tailing note box" from all welding symbols? The reason why I'd like to do it...it's because each weld in the drawing has his own number and I'd like to be able to work with these weld numbers in MS excel. It means I'd like to be able to export all the weld numbers and also to change these weld numbers in the drawing via MS excel.

AutoCad :: What To Do With Symbols That Are Not Blocks
May 20, 2011A consultant (of our office roofing department) provided CAD drawings of roofs depicting various roof symbols to represent equipment, this survey was years ago so I had no hands in it. The office roof inspector is hoping I may be able to change all the symbols to be industry standard symbols as the consultant used their own. Originally I told the roofing department it would be easy as I would just write a lisp and a script to change all the symbols to the new blocks...or so I thought.
As soon as I opened one of the consultant's files, those symbols...were not blocks, they were all comprised of lines, circles and hatches. In my frustration, I contacted the consultant and wanted a clarification on this, they simply drew the lines in and copied and pasted the symbols over and over again.
I got 240 drawings to literally update overtime. Each drawing can have an average of 30 symbols. Is there a way for autocad to recognize certain line patterns or hatch patterns (actually only the solids were used) and then store the x,y co-ordinates?

Example: If I have three Flag Note symbol's in my drawing from the same sketch symbol and the text reads 1, is there a way that I can change the text to read 2 in one of them without the other two flag notes updating as well?

AutoCAD LT :: Annotative Symbols Alignment
Feb 14, 2012I'm having issues with annotative symbols jumping around the page. As far as I can tell, it happens on certain symbols when I add a second(or more) annotative scale to that symbol. I can reset the symbols so that they're all aligned and sitting 'on top' of each other, but when I switch to different viewports/plot or save/open the drawing again they've reverted to the position they jump too.
In the past I thought it might be something to do with where the basepoint was within the block, but having changed that, I still had the problem.
Both the blocks I've had it happen with are reasonably simple (one's an 'Auto Air Valve' symbol with a mask behind the lines, the other is a custom 'Section line' symbol although that also has some properties to allow me to extend the section line) objects. With the section line symbol I mirror it to get the second half, which is the half it's having the problem on. I wouldn't expect mirroring an object would do it though.
The odd thing is, it's only happened in some drawings that I've done, and only with some symbols (which were all created at a similar time, so should have the same issues?), so I can't think of what it could be.

Dec 27, 2011I'm in 2006 Map and 2006 LDT
I've had a custom RomanS.shx for the past 15 years that has additional symbols in it that are not in the standard one.
For example:
%%150 = Centerline
%%130 = Delta
%%133 = Property Line
%%201 - 210 = Roman Numerals, and more.
They work great in old style single line text, but they have never worked in MText. I just get a question mark, until last week. The centerline symbol showed up in a piece of text imported from an outside DWG, but I could not figure out how. I could not see what code was there, it totally stumped me, but it got me thinking. Is it possible?
How I can get these characters to show up properly in MText? And not the symbols that are in there via the U+ codes. They look so different than romans that I can not use them.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: How Symbols Display On Alignment Sheet
Feb 9, 2012I'm wondering if there's a way in AutoCAD Map 3d 2010 to bring in a points shape file and display it along a pipeline but not have the symbols overlap...I see where it automatically has conflict detection for the labeled features I bring in, but somehow want to have control over how the symbols are display on the alignment sheet. Is there a way to stairstep or offset two symbols that overlap or land on top of each other. I have several datasets like metal loss and growth rate I need to show but can't get the data not to overlap...I could do a larger scale but would just end up with tons of sheets.

I have used i logic on several occasions successfully but im not experienced at all. The way I see this working is for a sketch symbol to be inserted below a view when it is created,the standard view label being omitted & the Scale/Name/Sheet details linking to the sketch symbol through parameters.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Sketched Symbols GetResultText
Nov 18, 2007I am having a small issue with getting the correct text from a sketched symbol in an IDW. I can populate the dialog box OK when i hard code the Sketched Symbol definition. The issue i have is the sketched symbol may have been inserted 3, 5 or more times and i need to extract the text from the last inserted definition. So by setting a simple counter i can count how many time the Sketched Symbol has been inserted and then by running the code below i can read the text.
Set oPESS = oPEDoc.ActiveSheet.SketchedSymbols.Item(oCount)
oSSPE1 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(1))
oSSPE2 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(2))
oSSPE3 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(3))
oSSPE4 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(4))
All fine so far but and here is the real issue if ther have been other sketched symbols inserted in to the IDW the code above doesn't work.
What i need is a single line to replace the first line in the above code that will allow me to define the sketched symbols name and then by using the .item(oCount) (as above)to say this one extract the text from that sketched symbol.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Smart Sketch Symbols
May 29, 2013At my office we create drawings with lots of added text and sketched symbols usually along the extension line of a dimension. Currently we have to place the symbol then edit the rotation to make it parallel to the dim line. How to make the sketched symbol automatically orientate itself correctly?
Take this one step further, some ilogic that would automatically add the correct symbol to the dim line based on the feature? For example, when we place a dim on the face of a flange, have the F.O.F. text automatically inserted on the dim line? Or if you dim to a 2" pipe have the 2" CL symbol add automatically?
