AutoCad :: Draw 3rd Circle Tangent To 2 Circles

Oct 11, 2007

I can't control the location of a 3rd circle using ttr. I'm drawing two circles and then a 3rd tangent to both but I want the 3rd circle to be centered down below the two original ones and all it will do is be above them. See drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Find The Tangent Point Of 2 Circles

Dec 12, 2012

I want to find the tangent intersection point between 2 circles within certain conditions.

Circle 1 is r: 30 m and is fixed.

Circle 2 is r: 20 m and its position is inside circle 1.

Circle 2 can be moved in a given angle.

The question is: what distance should circle 2 move, to become tangent with circle 1.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Trimming Circles Against Tangent Lines?

Sep 30, 2013

I am working with a drawing provided to me by someone else, and where there should be arcs they have  multiple line segments. I need a radius for what I'm doing, so I drew a circle with TTR and then tried to trim against the tangent lines to get my arc. However, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. why this doesn't always work?

Illustrator :: Two Circles Snapping Paths On Tangent?

May 16, 2013

I draw a circle and then want another smaller circle to snap to the path. This would produce 100% accurate smooth curve.
 
I added a line that snapped to an anchor point I added on the large circle. I was hoping to snap the smaller circle to the anchor point, but how can you do this without guessing where to add anchor points on the circle? What if I want to change them?
 
Right now I have snap to point on and snap to grid off. Align to pixel grid is also off.
 
method for drawing and conecting tangents?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Not Tangent

Jun 18, 2012

Working on Acad2012 3d Civil. I draw a circle of 4000' radius and another one of 2000' radius. I put a tangent line between the two circles and I do see the tangent symbol but when I zoom in real close, it's not. So now I can't trim the excess radius of the two circle. I do have a trim line pasted the two supposedly tangent points. Is this a CAD issue or is their a variable to change that actually makes the lines tangent.

AutoCad :: Place Line Tangent From The End Of Arc?

Nov 28, 2012

How does one draw a line tanget from the end of an arc.

I noticed the tangent snap stops at the end of the arc but one can still place a line beyond the end of the arc, thus no longer tangent.

AutoCad :: Snap Of Line At A Tangent To The Arc

Aug 16, 2011

tan.jpg

i want to snap this line to where it would be at a tangent to the arc (as right), but as you see (left) when i hover with TAN snap it picks a tangent from the pick point, not from object's orientation.

at the moment i construct a tangent by rotating a copy of my line by 90°, and snapping it to centre of the arc. then extend out past arc, where the intersection is now the point i originally wanted to pick. make sense? gotta be a better way!

AutoCad 2D :: Draw Circle So That Line Becomes Tangent To It?

Feb 20, 2013

I’ve an already drawn inclined line from a fixed point (saypoint (0,2) on Y-axis). The inclination is also fixed (say 150 tothe horizontal). My objective is to draw a circle with one quadrant at a fixedpoint (say point (1,0) on X-axis), so that, the line becomes a perfect tangentto the circle. The diameter of the circle may vary to make the line perfecttangent to the circle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Label Delta From A Curve To Non-tangent Line

Jun 19, 2012

I need to lable the delta of a PI in an alignment where one segment is an arc and the following is a non-tangent line.

Geometry points don't offer delta and Tangent Intersections won't label at PCs and PTs.

Is there an expression that can be used?

AutoCAD 2013 :: DIMRADIUS Line Extending Beyond Tangent Point

Feb 13, 2013

When inserting a DIMRADIUS in older versions of AutoCAD, the extent of the radius dim used to automatically stop at the tangent point along an arc. However, now in ACAD 2013 (and possibly other recent versions), a red 'extension' line is carried on beyond the tangent point, which I don't want. Is there a toggle that switches this off so that the radius dim stops wholly at the tangent point as before?

I've tried using endpoint snap to stop the dim at the tangent point, but the radius dimesion text is then placed on the outside of the curve rather than the inside where I want it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Placing Dimension From Line To Tangent Of Diameter?

Nov 16, 2011

I am trying to create a dimension in an .idw that goes from a line to the tangent of the outer diameter.  I have tried several approaches but I cannot get it to work.  Essentially I am trying to replicate a drawing which was created in Solidworks but I am having trouble with this dimension.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Tangent Line And Pass Through Two Points

Aug 20, 2012

We have a need to select a tangent line/polyline etc and then select two other points we would then like to have the program draw an arc through the two points and yet still be tangent to the initial line/polyline that we picked.  We don't care what the radius is as we believe there is only one solution anyway.  It would be wonderful if we could just use the Arc command and select start>Second Point> then just use the Tangent Osnap but I guess that is out of the question :-)

The only code that I have come across that even resembles this only allows for one point not two (STILL VERY HANDY AND VERY SLICK)

(vl-load-com)
(defun near_vertex_arr (obj / dxf_obj e_next obj_vlax pt_sel par pt_first pt_snd i bulge)

[Code]....

How does everyone else hande this?  By they way... I dont care what language it is written in :-)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Tangent Assembly Constraint - Ellipse Surface To Line

Aug 26, 2013

Why can't Inventor constrain an ellipsoidal contour with a line? We have pressure cylinders which uses a 2:1 ellipse. These cylinder get welded to a base stand fixture. The surface of the ellipse nestles in between contact points of the base stand, in this case lines of geometry. Yet Inventor can't constrain them as such. Any good workflow (at the assembly level) so that we don't have to ground components and use the Analyze Interference tool to make sure we are right on the surfaces? I don't understand why it will work for a cylindrical surface but not an elliptical surface.

AutoCad :: Break A Line But For Circles And Ellipses

Aug 15, 2011

I would like to ask a question on “Break at point”.

It is possible to break a line but for circles and ellipses, my attempts resulted in no break at all (see attached picture).

Does “Break at point” support circles and ellipses? If you have a circle and you would like to make it a ¾ circle arc, or any arbitrary angle, how do you do that?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Circles At Line End Points?

Feb 2, 2012

I need to place a circle, of a user-defined radius, as a marker at the endpoints of all lines in a drawing.  how to accomplish this using lisp?  It doesn't matter if they overlap; I can use OVERKILL to delete those objects.

I started the code with:

(defun c:cmark ()
(setq crad (getdist "
Specify radius: "))
)

But don't know how to cycle through the objects, determine the end points of lines only.

Photoshop :: Healing Brush Skips - Leaves A Line Of Brush-sized Circles Instead Of Smooth Line

Nov 18, 2012

When I use the healing brush is tends to "skip".  It leaves a line of circles like a stamp would instead of a flowing line like it should leave.  No matter how slow I move the brush it leaves a circle and then as I continue to draw nothing happens until I reach the edge of the first circle, it then drops another circle and it continues that way as long as I draw with it.   The brush tool works fine, leaves a smooth line.  The Spot Healing and Patch Tool work fine but the healing brush will not heal in a smooth stroke.  It skips along a leaves a tail of circles the size of the brush.  I am using a fast computer, i7 processor, 16bg ram and a SSD drive so I do not think speed is an issue.  I upgraded from CS4 where the healing brush worked fine on this computer

Photoshop :: Circles Inside Circles (or Rings)

Feb 11, 2005

I'm trying to make a logo. Circular logo with an inner ring maybe 4 px wide and 15 px inside the rim of the outer circle.

Basically I want a blue circle with a yellow inside ring. What's the best way of doing this? The only thing i can think of is: creating a blue circle marquee, and then another (trying to estimate a new circle size and change the color) that is yellow, and then making another smaller blue circle inside the new one. That's just ugly.

I tried the edit/stroke but that just gave me a stroke around the outer circle; it didn't put a ring inside the circle 15 px down.

Also I tried to contract the original circle by selecting it, then Modify/contract. That's got me a selected ring, inside the circle. Now how in the world do I make that little ring yellow? It just remains selected and I can't seem to find a way to color it.

InDesign :: Submit Form Button Doesn't Work In Interactive Form Opened In Reader Created In 6

Oct 8, 2012

One of the features I was really looking forward to  in CS6 was creating fillable forms with ONE application. I created a form following the step by step instructions in classroom in  a book for CS6.  When I opened the exported form in Reader X, I get a "This operation is not permitted" error. I opened the completed "end" document in the lesson to make sure  I didn't commit an error, and I got the same message when exporting. I have looked for places in menus to modify security restrictions and I can't find any. I installed the updates and that didn't solve the issue.
 
I saw one solution posted which is to open the document in Acrobat, then do a "save as" option.   Is there anything we can do that doesn't involve buying additional software? If this is not the case, then Adobe seriously needs to change its training and advertising about this functionality.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Form Picture - Parameter Driven Picture On A Form

Apr 10, 2013

I am working on a form (global) and have added a picture with a parameter and a picture folder underneath. So that the picture displayed on my form will change depending on the parameter value.Here comes the trick. Only text parameters can be used!On the form editor only 'Text parameter' can be selected to drive the picture selection. I actually need an integer, so that i can use my User/Excel parameters from Inventor.

I can work this around with an iLogic rule to equal the value of my string Picture Parameter with the relevant integer Inventor parameter, but the rules need to be run before the pic and the form updates (by pressing the 'Apply' button at the bottom of the form and then the assy updates too. So this takes a couple of minutes)... whereas if it was an option on the form editor then the update would be instant without waiting for everything to update...

Is there a particular reason why the Picture Parameter only can be a text parameter?
