View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to edit my drawing template dimension style to always do a diameter (if it is a circle). Right now it defaults to radius and I manually right click and change it. I found all sorts of styles for how it displays the radius and diameter, but didn't find where to set the default.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I dimension an arc to find the radius, the dimesnions appears as a line going from teh center of the arc to the edge of the arc with the dimension in the middle. I don't want this. I want a leader pointing to the R text and that's it.
I've attached a photo of both scenarios- one dimension is the style I don't want, and one is basically the style I want (I'd like it to be more of an elbowed leader line), but it only appears when I use AutoCAD's ISO25 dimension style.
How do I change this dimension into a diameter dimension?
I have tried editing the dimension style to display as a diameter and it doesn't change it. I tried creating a new dimension style and it doesn't change it.
My company is trying to Standardize all drawings produced to 1 format. the one we are attempting to create would be in the form of: nominal upper limit^lower limit. this is easily acheived in autocad and linear, chamfer, and hole/thread dimensions in inventor. but radii's and diameters from a round surface (as apposed to linear diameters) we have run into a snag with. We cannot seem to find a way to either remove the prefix symbols or be able to insert text between the symbol and tolerance.
below is a illistration of the problem and the form of the new dimensions.
I made a small plant and to create pipes i used cylinders, now I need to create a material list and for this I need to extract the radius(diameter) and height for each cylinder, but i don't know how. I am having lot's of cylinders (2000 elemets). I put also a sample here.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe default format for a radius and diameter dimension is inserted with a prefix "R" and diameter symbol ahead of the measured dimension. Our company standard pre-Inventor was to place either "RAD" or "DIA" after the measured dimension. We can not seem to find anywhere in the setup to change how these type dimensions are inserted as a default or custom setting.
Can we change/customize the radius and diameter dimension formatting?

When you make a diameter or radius dimension it always has this static extension line shown in red when you move the dimension far enough away. I can not seem to extend this extension line at all it is always the same length no matter what variable I change. How to lengthen this extension line?

The standard in the industry I work in is the radius dimension goes on the inside of the arc. However, AutoCAD defaults the dimension to the outside of the arc. Is there a way to make it default to the inside? If not then this is the issue when I use the mirror command.

I know how to annotate the length of a line, I just can't figure out how to annotate the bearing. Like, if I'm drawing an area for a surveyor and there is a line 1000 ft. with a bearing of N08d15'37"W. How do I get that line to be labelled "N08d15'37"W"?

I copied the building footprint, scaled it up a factor of twelve and changed the units to inches, the dimension styles to inches, but i cannot get the dimension tool to show inches (only tenths of foot.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just recently started using AutoCAD again after using Inventor for several months, and I'm having a very difficult time with annotations. I'd like to annotate the proper way, and I believe that's from withing layout space. I have several small weld details that simply need to be laid out on this drawing. They're all drawn to 1:1 scale, and I'd like to use Viewports to scale them up or down as appropriate.
How to properly annotate dimensions, text, and weld details such that they will all appear of uniform size among all details, but will be associative with respect to the geometry of each detail? This is quite simple in Inventor simply because of how it's designed to work, but AutoCAD works very differently and I'm very unfamiliar with how to work with text styles and dimstyles and weld-symbol styles in this manner. I can't get my annotation styles to work right.
Where is the settings for changing the precision on an annotated line length? I'm getting three places right now, and I don't need any places other than the whole number on a series of lines.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to annotate right-of-way, utilities, and wetlands in my cross-section sets. I know that this can be done by creating alignments, but this seems very cumbersome for a large project with hundreds of wetland areas and major utilities. I know that this task can be quickly accomplished using Bentley Inroads by draping the features onto the existing surface and annotating the features in the cross section views.
Is there a workflow that allows the annotation of feature lines in the cross-section views?
I would like to make a square with round corners with certain Radius. I use Rectangular Marque Tool with Feathering set to some value. The thing is that when I cut the shape from Layer I don't get a sharp corner but instead I have shaded corner.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to make a 1" long, 1" diameter straight pipe as a block. I would like to insert that block into my drawing, say...on a 90 degree elbow. After inserting the straight stub, I would like to use a grip to "stretch" the pipe length to the next fitting. Ultimately, I would like to compile a parts list for my pipe drawing that will give me the straight pipe length. I've been doing some searching and 3d dynamic blocks seem to be impossible.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can use the sprayer to make a set of symbols. And then I can break a link between the set and the symbol. Can I recover/make the link again? Not Ctrl+Z immediately after vrealing the link. Imagine that I break the link, them use some tools, move some objects (so, I can not use Ctrl+Z, because I will lose those changes) and then select the set again and ... what? I do not see any way to bind it to the symbol again.

Curious, I am trying to get numbers 'engraved' (extruded) into a diameter of a dial ring. I was able to create a couple of planes to create the marking lines around the OD, but am unsure how to add numbers and extrude said numbers (in the easiest fashion possible). I need to go from 0 to 90 on the longest marking that starts at 0° and is every 36°.
Also, that being said, with the little I tried and was unhappy with, I created a text box at the 0° marker but the text was in the wrong rotation the marker and rotation box was greyed out. How can I resolve this...or is it even related?
File attached.
