AutoCad :: Offsets Without Esc
May 8, 2012My doubt is:
Ex) Do 3 offsets: .2; .7; .9
Is there any shortcut to do the offsets without 'esc'.
I'm doing like: o / .2 / select object / done / Esc / o / .7 / select object / done /...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Different Alignment Offsets With The Same Profile
Jan 10, 2013I created a profile for an alignment (which has 2 offsets) and also an assembly with two assembly offsets. I wanted to create a corridor where my assembly offsets will have the same profile but will be on different alignments (alignment offsets).
In the corridor properties / parameters, I got an error : duplicate profile found. Should I copy the profile (for each offset) in different profile views (for each offset) ? Or there is a better way to do that ?

Nov 30, 2012I'm looking for a way to determine (and preferably edit) the values of P1 and P2, the offsets of the initial tangents into the PC/PT of the shifted curve. It's not in the (admiteddly basic) book I have either.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assembly For Divided Highway With Inconsistent Offsets
Nov 5, 2013What I have is a highway that is being twinned, however the divided lanes are not consistantly the same distance away (or the same width of roadtop). I would like to keep the number of alignments to a minimum. Both lanes would be based off the same vertical profile. So I would like to have a single assembly that could adjust the median width in the center, and the lane width. Targetting the horizontal layout you can see in the attached screenshot. (this is not all of the job of course)
Is this a feasible task for the targetting assemblys? Would be a fairly standard 4:1 side slopes, adjustable ditch bottom width, 2% crowned road otherwise.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Assembly That Place Sidewalk At Varying Offsets
May 25, 2011We have just started using Civil 3D. I need to be able to create an assembly that will place a sidewalk at varying offsets (it is too random to make seperate assemblies). I have tried making an alignment of the back of the walk and attempted to use targets in the corridor to achieve this .
I will attempt to attach the DWG that I am working on. The Main alignment is PR-1 as is the corridor and the alignment that i need the back of the walk to follow is PR-1 BWR.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: 2012 Offset Command Offsets Structural Member Other Direction
Feb 1, 2012Im using MEP and in MEP2010 the Offset command worked fine on my structural members, offsetting to the direction I picked.
In MEP2012 the offset command now offsets the same structural member to the opposite side of the point I pick.
The structural member is rolled 180 and the way I can correct this offset issue is to roll the SM back to 0, then the offset command offsets to the correct side.
Is there a new setting or something in 2012 that will get the offset command behaving the way it did in 2010 where it does not care about the objects properties and just offsets it correctly?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Alignment - Stroke Offsets In Odd Manner
Feb 27, 2014This is an odd one. When I have a 1pt stroke and try to align it either on the inside or outside, Illustrator offsets the stroke in an odd manner. (See image for the three states: centered, inside, and outside.) However, there is a workaround where I first set the stroke to 2pt and align it as I want and then change the stroke back to 1pt and the behavior is as expected.
For something as basic as aligning a 1pt stroke, it seems odd to need to resort to a workaround.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD VB :: Plot To PDF
Dec 20, 2012I have created a batch routine that plots PDF’s of a list of drawings. Everything is working ok. It opens the drawing, turns on and off layers, and then plots to PDF. The plots come out fine, but after each plot, it opens the PDF. This would not be a problem for one or two drawings, but when doing a few hundred, it becomes quite frustrating.
I can see how to change this using the plot dialogue box, selecting DWG To PDF.pc3 and editing the custom properties. But no matter how many times I change it does not save, and will open the PDF.
I have found a work around by killing the process Acrobat.exe at the end of the plot. But is there a better way of doing this?
AutoCAD Inventor :: DWG To STP
Jan 7, 2013we modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.
AutoCAD .NET :: Cannot Set MdiActiveDocument
Aug 22, 2013I cannot seem to set the MdiActiveDocument synchronously.
I have code inside a <CommandMethod> that creates a drawing and then writes any error information to the command line. Since this is started in one document, if a fatal error occurs and the drawing does not get created, that message goes to the original document's command line.
In the case where a drawing gets created with errors (say partial success), I would like the errors to appear in the new drawing (new active document's) command line.
The behavior when setting Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument is peculiar. The application can hang for a long time if you do not click anything. If you click the document (from the taskbar or clicking on the window), it breaks out of the hang and continues to execute, but the active document is not changed. The MdiActiveDocument still points to the original document. You can also see that it does not change because doc.IsActive = False. This state could be because when you clicked, you really did make the original document active (again? still?). To break the hang, I think the click has to be on the original document.
On an example like [URL] ... there is no action taken after MdiActiveDocument is set, so I assume that it is actually set when the command is completed, not synchronously. I am not absolutely certain of this, though.
<CommandMethod("AUTODRAWPN")> _
Public Sub DrawPartNumber()
Dim ed As Editor = Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
If IsNothing(drwr) Then
[Code] .......
Is there a way to set the MDIActiveDocument? Should it be hanging like this? Should I be looking at an altogether different way to handle this?
Trying to use doc.Editor without setting the active causes a eNotApplicable error, so that is not a way out.
I am using AutoCAD 2013. The following link implies that this could be a 2013 specific problem, but I do not know that for sure. [URL] .....

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Map 3D :: Plotting To PDF
Feb 25, 2011I have plotted to PDF before, but on this particular drawing I'm losing some part of the drawing.
Two viewports at different scales. The larger viewport (zoomed in) plots perfectly. The smaller viewport (zoomed out) only plots the CAD layer (green line), but does not plot the Shapefiles (green dots and gray lines). Shapefiles are on their own layer, that layer is turned on. These are the only three items in model space; the black text and arrows are in paper space on the layout tab and render correctly in the large viewport.
Is it a scale issue with the shapefiles in the small viewport or a plotting issue?
