AutoCad 3D :: Minimum Distance Between 3D Objects?
Mar 16, 2012what the minimum distance between two 3D rectangles is. I can do trial and error using the INTERFERE command (Acad 2012) and move the 2 groups until they stop hitting each other, but I wanted to see if there is a command in ACAD that will tell me how close 2 objects pass.
I have an old pile foundation group for 4 tower legs and I wanted to see how close I could get the new pile group to the old group. I'll try to attach a dwg file with 3 options I was trying. The old group is in Cyan and the new group is Red.
I'm guessing I could use UCS and set it on one of the piles and measure to the closest old pile, but the screen gets so cluttered. Is there a way to only show a slice through the objects?
AutoCad 2D :: Changing Distance Between Two Objects?
Aug 19, 2011 I'm using AutoCad LT 2007, so I understand I may not be able to do this.
I have two object, such as circles, and they are a certain distance apart. It does not matter. I have an object/text between them that does not fit between them. I cannot scale the inside object as it has to be the same size as the others of it's kind. I would like to take the two circles and put a greater distance between them. In other words I want there distance to go from, say, 5 units to 10 units without moving the center point of the two objects. I was thinking something similar to: select the two objects, select the midpoint of the two objects, and enter the command to change the distance between them. Almost like a stretch command out from a center point, but with two objects. I can find the center point of the two objects, that's no problem.
This is the way I do it now, and I'm trying to find a quicker way to improve my AutoCad skills. Select the object on the right and move it right a certain distance, then select the left object and move it left the same distance. It works, it's just slow.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Program To Evenly Space Objects Across Given Distance
Dec 28, 2013I would like to write some sort of AutoLISP program to evenly space objects across a given distance. I have attached a .pdf file showing what exactly I mean.
I would like the program to enable me to either enter or measure (via the selection of two points) the "z" distance, to enter or measure the "y" distance, and to enter the number of objects, "n". I would then like the program to evenly space "n" objects across the "z" distance.
A program like this is, I have to be honest and say, way beyond my current capabilities.
Perhaps some initial guidance to get me going?
AutoCAD LT :: Change Distance Display Style?
Sep 30, 2004is there a way to change the way distance is measured in a drawing from fractional to decimal? I get drawings that always display dimensions in fractions and being an engineer not a carpenter I need dimensions to be decimal so I am not forced to look up what the decimal equivalent of a fraction is all the time. I am amazed that AC doesn't force me to input dimensions as fractions on these drawings.
This is another one of those options that appears to be hidden but should be available in a real page setup option or in the options. Unlike the current page setup which seems to be a print setup instead. I love hidden options, like when I made the mistake of changing the default fractional style that I am now stuck with. I love being caught between 2 bad options. Either I have to put up with being asked constantly if I want to change how fractions are displayed or I can't change the default ever again.
Photoshop :: Distribute Set Of Objects With Minimum Or Specified Distance
Mar 21, 2012Any way to distribute a set of variously-sized 2D objects on a 2D surface in Photoshop or Illustrator? Illustrator lets you align objects evenly along a 1D line, but I want the objects to basically fill a surface evenly.
A simple way of phrasing this is: I have a set of X objects of different size (or shape). I want them to be as close to each other as possible, but without overlapping. It should be easy for software to find the perfect composition to minimize "air gap" between them.
As a result, If I feed the program with shapes of various shape and size, I should get results like this:
wholesale-fabric-discount-store.com/images/Giraffe_Fabric.jpg (air gap between the objects is approx. mininal)
(air gap between the objects is approx. minimal)!
Illustrator Scripting :: Measuring Distance Between Objects?
May 19, 2013I'll start off by saying I'm new to scripting. I've tinkered with a script I found for measuring the length and width of a selected object and placing those values in a specs portion of the file. It works great, I'm very excited about how much better my life could be if I conquered scripting, and now I'm struggiling to get another one working but I'm a little stuck.
What I need to do now is measure and print the distance from the right edge of a selected object to the left edge of another object named "repeat" in a designated "specs" area of the page. The idea is to show the distance between a print impression and when it will print again (repeat), because it is printed using a print cylinder that rotates to print over and over on a continuous film.
I'm a little fuzzy on how I call the value of the left side x value of an object, but basically what I want is to use that value and then subtract from it the width of the selected object. The difference is the distance between impressions.
Illustrator :: Moving Objects A Certain Distance At Angle
Oct 3, 2012I'm trying to move an object a certain distance at a certain angle. I select the object and hit Enter to bring up the Move dialog. I enter the angle and distance, and instead of moving the specified distance, it moves some other distance. I don't get it. Am I doing it wrong? I can't imagine how else it's supposed to work. Here's a simple example:
Based on the angle and distance I entered in the video, the duplicate square should have been placed so that its lower right corner touches the upper left corner of the original. Instead, it only moved half an inch or so.
AutoCad :: How To Change Distance Between Array Elements Smarter
Jul 29, 2012Attached file shows a book cabinet. After manipulating the depth (32 cm) for many times, still I haven't got the ideal depth. Manipulating the distance is time consuming and I am looking for a smarter way to do it.
Changing the depth is cumbersome for me, as I act in the traditional way. Let say if I want to change the depth of all shelves to 34, I choose 7 shelves from bottom, move all 2 cm down. In the next step I choose 6 shelves from bottom and move them 2 cm down and repeat until I reach the bottom.
In order to draw them, first: I use rectangle not lines which has some shortfalls, second: I use array command to copy them down.
This is not a smart way and I think there must be a better way. Although a LISP routine will solve it very easily, but I prefer a non-LISP solution.

Feb 3, 2011How can I globally change the CELTSCALE of all objects in my drawing? Using PROPERTIES, I can change one element at a time, but when I choose multiple objects in the drawing at the same time, PROPERTIES does not allow me to change their CELTSCALE to (say) "1". Also, this doesn't appear to be possible using the CHANGE (Properties option) command either. The latter only allows the LTSCALE to be changed (not CELTSCALE).
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: Where To Change Settings For Layer Properties For AEC Objects
Feb 15, 2011Walls are being created on layer A-Wall, in color Cyan, Lineweight .020, etc. I'd like to edit those layer properties. There must be a matrix somewhere that shows a list of all of the Architectural Objects, the layer that each object will be created on, and the properties of those layers. Where in ACA2008 have they hidden this top-secret matrix? I've accessed Layer Key Styles via about 6 different routes, and nowhere do I find a list of Objects. I see that I could define an override for every component of a Wall object in the Style Manager / Display Properties, but it sure would be easier to just change the layer color once, wherever that's defined. There is only one Layer Key Style accessible through Style Manager, and layer A-Wall doesn't appear in that manager- layers A-Wall-Abov, A-Wall-Blow, etc appear, but not A-Wall. Neither does layer A-Glaz, which is where Window objects are placed.
How does a Wall object know to place itself on layer A-Wall, and where are the properties of layer A-Wall defined?
AutoCad :: Change All Of Objects Colors In Xref Drawing To Grey
Dec 29, 2011My goal is to change all of the objects colors in an xref drawing to gray to use as a background to my work. All changes to the xref drawing were made in the drawing itself, none of this was done in the base drawing.
The quickest way I could find was to change set by layer mode to color only and use set by layer to change all of the objects (select all). This seemed to work fine, until I noticed that certain text would move slightly when the color changed. Long story short this text (single line) moves slightly when the color is changed, even if I select one text and change the color in its properties.
My question is why would text move or change in some way when you only change the color. It doesn't seem to happen to mtext, only dtext.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Change Selection Of Scheduled Objects In External Drawing
Jan 21, 2013I have three drawing constructs.I have door tags and room tags. I have schedules. All work just fine. However, I need to combine all three Finish and all three Door schedules into one multi-level schedule for each, doors and finishes. In views, I schedule the external references by selecting the YES option in the properties dialog box. The problem is that the drawing contains doors and spaces that I do not want to be part of the schedule. How do I deselect the objects that I want to be in the schedule?
The other problem is I can only select one drawing. It makes no sense to have separate schedules for each floor on a small project where there are only 10-20 rooms. As a work around I can create the schedules in constructs, import all the constructs into a view, clip all the constructs and the stitch the tables together. This is cumbersome, does not update seamlessly and results in unnecessary file sizes.
