View 8 RepliesI have a floor plan that is shaped like an 'L' and I'd like to have the grids in the corner of the 'L' be at a 45 degree angle in relation to the rest of the grids. Is that possible in 2012? I have tried to do it using the Custom Grid Convert tool and have had no luck.

Dim newLimits(0 To 3) As Double
newLimits(0) = x1 - (x2 - x1)
newLimits(1) = y1 - (y2 - y1)
newLimits(2) = x2 + (x2 - x1)
newLimits(3) = y2 + (y2 - y1)
AcadDoc.Limits = newLimits
Now i thougt this works in this way:
/// <summary> /// Testfunktion für Limits /// </summary> private static void Test() { var acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; var acDb = acDoc.Database; acDb.Limmin = new Point2d(10, 50); acDb.Limmax = new Point2d(10, 50); }
But this is not working
I get the following Error: eLockViolation
I think this is from the Transaction and OpenMode.ForWrite - but where do i get such a transaction and the database open for writing.
How to create a border around the limits I set using LIMMAX. Are the limits (after setting up previous steps) what is visible on the screen? I see the X,Y coordinates in the middle of my view finder. Can I set them using REC?

As you can see, there are errors at the area in which we have the greater angle between cross sections. What are the limits of this C3D feature ? Above more that "x" degrees of cross sections directions difference C3D are going to fail ?
My co-worker had a dialog box show up that said something about Size Limits for Legacy Drawings. It had two options. The top one said something about when zoomed out you won't see details but once zoomed in you will see them. The bottom option was someting about showing full detail at all zoom levels.
She chose the top one, but now she wants to choose the other. I can't seem to find a variable or even a mention of this dialog box anywhere. How I can switch from one to the other? Or how I can get the dialog box to pop up again?
I don't have the exactly language, so that is way I have been so vague.

Is there any way to force IV to allow more than the 5 decimal place resolution that is listed in the Units drop down box?
And is there any way to force the result in the distance command to show all the decimals even if they are zeroes? When I specify 6 decimal places in the distance / measure command, I want to see 6 decimal places. If I don't, then I don't know if the rest of the digits are zeros or if it just didn't accept my choice to show 6 decimal places.
Extrude command is great, no doubt. But, I wish it was possible to extrude bidirectional. One side to a specific value & the other side up-to-next.

What the crap? Guess I can always just manually type it in..
How do you change the limits of a drawing in AutoCAD 2013? I have specified the limits for the bottom left and top right, yet it still isn't working. Is there something that I am forgetting or not doing right?

I know that we can create up to 255 layouts and sometimes more. Is there a variable settings that could have gone wrong inasmuch that the maximum layouts is now 6?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a cm scale drawing in AutoCAD of an rc airplane with a 200 cm wingspan. Problem is, the drawing only goes out to about 125 cm to the right, an I cannot pan or zoom out any further. I can't seem to find an option anywhere to change this. An Internet search has indicated I should use the limits command from the command prompt to increase the drawing limits, but this has had no effect.
How do I go about increasing the drawing limits?
How do you clean up areas where the section view is outside the viewport limits. C3d should have moved the top section to the next sheet becuase it didn't fit. How do you tell it this? An automatic toggle somewhere?
View 4 Replies View Relatedis there any point when you set up a new drawing in setting the drawing limits.
For example I am about to draw up a house plan at scale 1:100 which will be plotted on an A3 sheet. I envisage the floor plans will be on one A3 and the Elevations will be on another A3 sheet. Sections will go on another A3. I will have approx 6 paper sheets set up for this.
I plan to draw the whole lot in model space. Then move it around in paper space so each item is on a seperate sheet.
Is this the correct way to do it. If it is, then what is the point of having drawing limits in Model space? The books I have, say it is good drafting practice to set up limits. But I can't see why Also what is the point of setting up the grid display when half the time you draw right off the grid?
I set a "limits" in my drawing(command "limits"-- "lower left corner is 0,0" --- upper right corner " is set as 20, 20--enter)
But then I moved my mouse horizontally and vertically on the screen, and found that the coordinate value at the bottom was from -25 on the left to 18 on the right, and from 0 at the bottom to 15 at the top. I am confused about what on earth does that limit? should it be 20 in length and 20 in width?
I just got back a submittal package from a customer. Many markups because of incorrect dimension callout for a certain fit. When I dimensioned the drawing, I used the limit/fit calculator that is with Inventor. Now I just compared this calculator with the ANSI B4.1-1976 standard that it is supposed to follow. What I found was that the values in Inventor are wrong.
I just checked a few sizes and they do not match the ANSI standard. Not sure it there are other fits that have errors in them, but I will bet there are. Does Autodesk realize that if this information is put out, we have to take it as gospel. I don't have the time to check every-little-stinking dimension. If the dims in the table is wrong, I might as well type them in myself and forget about using the table.
Here is a screen shot of some of the errrors that I found. I also checked this size range for RC3, RC4 and RC5. They all have errors in them too. I am sure there are more, just dont have the time to check. We are not talking about "Freeware" here...
I have one little question. Do you know how can I cut the limits of one surface which I made from DEM file (asc)?
The surface that I made is 15x15 km2; but I only need, for example, 6x15 km2: I want to erase the east of the surface.

I've got my grid & bubbles as a separate construct that I bring into my different plans. When I bring it into my reflected ceiling plan, the grid shows up, the bubble's extension lines show up, but the bubbles and numbers/letters contained within are not showing up in the reflected display...
I would like to write a routine to resize the MText limits box to the minimum size required to cover the text, for background masking purposes. From the DXF codes, I see that I can simply set code 41 to match code 42 in order to set the width. However, I cannot seem to figure out how the vertical dimension is defined. (entget) shows no change in the DXF codes after I resize the mtext box.
I do know how to figure out the height that I need, using (acet-geom-textbox), but I can't seem to figure out how to apply this height the MText entity.
I have a linear slide assembly, for which I've set up limit constraints in the open and closed position.
It all works well, with one being able to drag the slide open and closed and the parts stopping in the correct positions.
I then inserted 4 of these assemblies as sub assemblies in a parent assembly.
I then constrain another part to the 4 slides.
I want to just drag on this part, to make the slides move to open positions.
This is to check kinematics etc.
One cant do this. You can only drag one slide open, by activating that slide in the model browser.
Any way to make limits work properly in upper assemblies?
Is there a way to fade down the drawing limits and grid in the model space. I now have Autocad 2011 and I previously had 2009.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would I go about creating a rule in iLogic which would limit the minimum length of a pipe (parameter = Pipe_Length) to be half the outer diameter of the pipe (Pipe_OD), in other words "Pipe_Length ≥ Pipe_OD/2"
I know you can use the limits wizard in iLogic, but is that not only for numerical values as opposed to parameters?
Are there any official document describe the limits in a DWG file? For example, the maximum number of blocks that can be added, the maximum number of layers, the maximum length of an object name, etc.?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is the advantage/usage of limits command? I know it specify the area where could be filled with Grid command. But is it, its only usage? What other usage could be expected from "limits"?
If we want to make the paper space and model space same (draw in same scale, if we use 1/100 scale in metric system, 1 meter in model space is equal to 1 centimeter in paper space), is it a wise idea to set the model space into A4 or A3 paper size by use of LIMITS?
I think its utmost usage is in combination with "snap". Where you can quickly grab the points you want onscreen without need for coordinate input. Would be happy if there is other usage for GRID
Before, I thought limits will specify the area in model space where I can draw (limit the area of model space). But this is in contrary with the fact that model space is limitless and I can draw as far as I want.
It is really hard to understand that there is no limit for model space like real world.
I haven't understood these issues until I read many threads in CT. Now I have got most of them but I think I need some extra study to understand them 100%.
anyone have a better way of making grids in CS?
if not is there a way in Illustrator?
