For example, a bridge where two roads cross might be represented by four polylines A, B, C, D with endpoints coinciding where the bridge is. How would you represent the fact that A joins C and B joins D but A does not join B/D and B does not join A/C?

I am wondering when in the idw and have multiple parts some the same and some different. I would like to distinguish between each part as a different part or balloned so they all have a different ref number.
example: have part A and part B and part C
part A has three different instances in the iam
part B has two
part C has four
How do I represent them in parts list and ballooning as different single instances?
part A- ballooned like- 1, 2, 3
part B- ballooned 4,5
part C- ballooned 6,7,8,9
Layer manager keep loosing the icons that represent a function. When you open layer manager, there are some icons on top of the layer manager page, one functions as make layer current, the other one to create a new layer & so on. these icons after a few time that we use layer command they all disappear, the only way to fix it is to close autocad & open it again. Of course if we use classic layer manager then things are ok but classic layer manage rhas uts own problems & limitations also.
My own guess is that the commad "layer" which invoke layer manager has memory leak, & when it is used a few time basically makes your system works on less memory resources & the only way to fix it is to abort the operation & start every thing all over again.
Just exactly what does "Angle" represent when placing a "Rotation Parameter" in a DBlock?
I've tried a bunch of diff angles and haven't noticed a difference. I'm trying to figure out just what effect diff values would have. I thought that maybe when rotating the block instance, I'd only be able rotate it "so far" (270 degrees in the example I've shown). But it still went well beyond that.

How does one represent florescent colors within Illustrator?The final output will be a multi-color sticker.
If I use the eye dropper tool and pick color from a florescent image Illustrator does seem to retain the attributes of being florescent.
I have a strange issue with PP CC which did not occur on CS6. The audio levels are slightly altered. This issue is clear if I compare them through Audition or Vegas Pro, when they are not altered.
For example, if I have a video with a soundtrack, and I enter another audio clip in another track for vocals, the vocals are lower then they actually are (like -12 instead of -6). It becomes evident when I open the sequence in Audition, where the levels are fine. What's happening? I really need to work with precise levels.
by default revit shows roof plan in the Site plan view.
Is it possible to show site plan that one line would represent building contour? Also is it possible to cast shadows of all the building if the first floor is selected?
i was trying to make site plan from the fist floor, but since i gave intense topography ground is being cut and i need full topography. i am using 2013 revit.
I am looking for a way to import a sequence of images that represent an object spinning. I'd like to be able to import these onto the timeline and have it play thru the images by turning them on/off at the correct time. I basically want to do the same way that you can do in Flash when importing an image sequence.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010. I use FEA a lot on steel and aluminum structures but was wondering if Inventor is capable of doing FEA on composite structures. I personally want to estimate the strength of some carbon fiber tubing but wasn't sure whether or not I would be getting good data from it. I know that composites don't yield and was wondering how or if that will affect anything. Also, if you can do an FEA on a composite, any solid website to get material properties from?

We normally just create a bill of material separately from the rest of the drawings in AutoCAD. They also want to be able to export it to exel
I am currently making a 3d tower and the outside of the tower is glass, but when i apply the colored glass i want you can see the whole way through the tower. That isn't what it looks like in real life.
I tried adjusting the transparency of the material and the glass is still see through. I then changed it to a solid glass but then i couldn't get the color that i want and it doesn't look realistic. i tried messing with the opacity, again that had no effect. i am using AutoCad 2013.
All of a sudden, I have very limited selections for part color and material. What setting has changed that causes this?

Ideally I would like to see each part of this cabinet to have "different grain pattern" (in real life there's no two pieces of wood the same). Is this possible?
