AutoCAD 2010 :: Converting Polylines With Width And Text Into Close Polylines
Jan 2, 2014As the above mentioned, I have a drawing drawn using polylines with width from someone. The width of the line are suppose to represent area,
To put things into prospective, here is an example:
The polyline is 10 unit long and with a width of 2 unit wide. If i explode that polyline, it will become a single polyline without width. The line are suppose to represent 10 unit long and 2 unit wide; representing an area.
My question is is there a way to change the line above directly from polyline with width to a close polyline (4 x polylines) of 10 unit long and 2 unit wide.
AutoCad :: Determine Line Width By Using Polylines
Mar 27, 2012I have used color to determine line widths. The plotter set-up recognizes color and assigns the appropriate line width. My new company is determining line width by using polylines. Am I behind the times? Or, is this a better way. Willing to change.

Sep 11, 2012I've been sent a series of CAD drawings in which the author has used global width to define the appearance of features. I need to import this into our GIS, which for reasons too complex to bother with won't import any attributes such as width. I don't want to lose the information recorded so was wondering if it's possible to create a closed polygon to represent the shape of the line. I guess something might be possible using buffering, but I can't figure out how to use the existing line width.

Feb 13, 2012polylines in my current drawing have started to come out with a very fat line width. It doesnt matter what layer its on, even though previously they were drawn 'properly' i.e the thin line width that shows when you have show/hide lineweight on 'hide'. This doesnt happen on any other drawing tool (arc, circle, polygon etc). The lineweights in layer control are all 'default'. I can't explain this as it seems to have just happened. Is it a known bug or something?

Feb 27, 2012Is it possible to assign a global width to polylines by layer?
I have made changes to one dwg and i now have to apply it to a bazillion more DWG's. But the chnages apply only to a few layers. So i was wondering if i can set the global width to these polylines by layer somehow to save me from doing it "manually"
AutoCad :: Polylines With Global Widths Plot Thinner Than Those With No Width
Dec 9, 2013I have a drawing with polylines that have a global width of .2 which are plotting thinner than those with a width of 0. If I uncheck "plot object lineweights" it seems to plot correctly but the lines with 0 width plot so light (or grey) that you can't see the drawing well.

Nov 17, 2013Existing polyline set to a width of 6. Want to fillet this to a non-polyline with a width of zero.
Currently the two lines will join to create a connected polyline but the original widths are maintained (6 and 0).
I am looking for the system variable where the non-polyline becomes joined and the global width for the new segment matches the first polyline.

AutoCad 3D :: Hidden Plot Does Not Fill Polylines Or Text?
Oct 24, 2012I have a problem with plotting 3D drawings. I have certain perameters I have to follow!
1. I have to use our company standard CTB files because our plots include 2D drawings that use color to define line thickness.
2. I have to use viewports, we use "carrier" sheets (paper space) to hold xrefs of all details, plans, etc...
3. I have to use Arial font and filled arrows.
The proceedure I use - I create 3D solids, then rotate them to the view I prefere (typically an isometric view), then I put text with arrows etc.. in. Once the Isometric (3D) is done I xref it into the model space of my "carrier" sheet. I then create a viewport and set it to plot "Legacy Hidden" as this allows me to plot the drawing to the correct line weights and so on using our CTB files.
The problem is that when I use the "Legacy Hidden" setting, all of the text, arrows, polylines and hatch are not filled. I have tried all of the other settings for plotting and they just do not do what I need - Hidden plots as a color image and on the black and white plotter is gray and not black, others give unsatisfactory results as well!
I have found a workaround but that won't cut it with our CAD committee, I am tring to get them to "allow" us to use 3D as a proper way to do isometrics and perspectives. This is my drawback!
One work around uses 2 viewports (one a copy of the other with the plot settings changed and the layers turned off/on then place one directly over the other to properly plot), the second is more reasonable but I have not tried it yet, it would involve creating a 3D drawing, then xrefing it into another drawing file that would contain the viewport and all of the text, polylines and so on).
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Insert Block With Attributes - Fill From Object Data Assigned To Polylines
Jan 31, 2012Running a Query that inserts a block with attributes filled with text derived from a file that has a large set of polylines with object data (text)? Is it easier just to insert this object data as text with a query. Or can I place this object data (text) into a block that inserts?
Example:
- You have land locations defined within the object data assigned to a set of closed polylines. (Large subdivision)
- Field name for object data on each closed polyline is "LAND_LOC"
- Now, I'd like to label these locations with a block that inserts to a central point within the closed polyline.
- Block Attributes with "get" the information from the polyline / object data and place this value in the block attribute.
- I have 1 drawing file that has closed polylines with object data assigned to them.
- What is the best method for this? I'd like a block with attributes to insert and pull the object data / field and place it into the block with a defined attribute, that is central to each of the closed polylines. (LAND_LOC)
AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Model Dimensions To Fill LENGTH / WIDTH Fields In Drawing Parts List
Mar 1, 2013In our “Parts list” (or BOM as we call it) on our .idw’s we have field for “LENGTH”. For example, we use round tubing. We would list the cut length of that piece of tube in the “LENGTH” column. As it stands now, we add “LENGTH” as a custom iproperty in the .ipt. Then in the drawing we add that property to the parts list to capture the length. This works fine, but I’m wondering if we can eliminate some steps by capturing the actual dimension from the sketch to automatically populate the “LENGTH” value. Needless to say, this would eliminate room for error (less typing) and will update the value automatically if length is changed or if the part is copied. I suppose the same would apply for “WIDTH” on sheet metal parts... How do I do this?

AutoCad :: Converting 3D Polylines To Polylines With Elevation?
Jan 20, 2006Is there a way of converting 3d polylines to polylines with an elevation?
I have a dwg of contour information, the contours are 3d polylines, because they are contours the z value is constant all along the line, so there no question what the elevation of the polyline would need to be.
I need to do this as I then need to import the dwg into a GIS programme called MapInfo whch doesn't read 3d polylines.
I have access to AutoCAD 2004 or 2005LT.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Smooth Transition Of Stroke Width Along Line Segment While Preserving Original Width Outside
Mar 5, 2014Trying to use the width tool, I ran into the following problem. I would like to have a smooth transition of the stroke width between two width points while keeping the original stroke width unchanged outside of that line segment.
There are four width points here: two end points and two in between. The original stroke width is 200. The two on the left have one side set to 100 while the two on the right have one side set to 50. I would like to eliminate the distortion of the line width occuring in the first and third line segments. The only solution that I have come up with so far is to place two additional width points very close to the two middle width points: one with a 100-unit side to the left of the second point in the picture and one with a 50-unit side to the right of the third point in the picture. Yet there will be a small distirtion in between.
Photoshop :: Doubling Canvas Width Actually Tripling Width
Apr 1, 2013I'm having an issue where I'm creating a white border around two landscape oriented images that are the same exact size then doubling the width of the canvas. I've never had this issue before with PS CS6.. I tried resetting the photography workspace but no luck. I tried with two portrait oriented images and the same result. I've restarted my machine. I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64bit and I'm running PS CS6 64bit as well. Thought to do a repair through Programs and Features but there is only the option to uninstall. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary except use an action a few days ago I downloaded and used from
[URL]........
and I downloaded and used the press print action.
How I can correct this? If an image is 20 inches wide and I'm doubling it to 40 it's tripling the width to 60 inches. Is there a way I can reset every aspect of PS CS6 to get back to a factory state other than uninstalling and reinstalling?
Illustrator :: Select New Width Tool To Change The Width
May 9, 2010I drew a cured line with the brush tool in illustrator CS5, but when I select the new "width tool" to change the width, it doesn't work.
Here are my steps:
1. Select the paintbrush tool
2. Draw something
3. Select the "width tool"
4. Try to change the width but it won't work.
Since I draw with the paintbrush tool, the "width tool" can be very handy if I can get it to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How Long For Part Fill / Mold Fill Analysis
Sep 7, 2013Okay, so it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I haven't done one on 2014 at all yet.
I've got a fairly simple part, it's about 6" long x 3" wide, less than 3/8" thick, without a whole lot of complex geometry to work with. I've built up my whole mold for it, and that went okay, but the fill analysis seems like it's taking forever. Like hours. It gets to the "Fill" stage, gets just a sliver of green on the progress bar, and then sits.
Last time I tried this was on my workstation at the office, using 2013. It didn't take nearly this long, and the part was much larger and far more complex, with a significantly slower computer.
Is something broken with this in 2014? I guess I can just let it run overnight, see what happens in the morning ...

GIMP :: Fill Selected Background Area With Flame Fill Pattern
Dec 17, 2012see xcf attachment...
I used a heart fill pattern of the right 75% of the picture and the left 75% of the picture is selected overlapping the first fill in the background... I want to fill the selected background area with a flame fill pattern where it overlaps the selected portion of the heart pattern as well as the transparent area... 'overlay' looks better but Gimp is FAILING to fill the transparent areas, it ONLY fills the overlapped heart pattern portion of the selected content!!! I even tried filling the transparent area with 'white' then filling the selected area, but it STILL ONLY wants to overlay fill the heart pattern, it STILL leaves the rest alone!!! it doesn't matter if the background is white or transparent, it leaves that alone and ONLY fills the heart pattern area of selected portion of the image!!!
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 :: How To Jump Directly To Uniform Fill - Models Dialog For Fill Color
Apr 23, 2012In Corel PhotoPaint X5, changing the fill color was possible by e.g. double clicking the (left-most) color square, then hitting Edit. Already, I found this was a bit too many clicks. Now in Corel PhotoPaint X6 it's gotten worse -- after hitting Edit, I'm not in the left-most tab "Models", but in the right tab "Palettes"!
My question: Is there any way I can open the Uniform Fill dialog with one click? (The Color Docker doesn't have a big color preview field so it doesn't work well for me when selecting and changing a color.) And is there any chance Corel will fix the bug with the wrong tab being opened?
Illustrator :: Fill Section But Using Fill / Stroke Only Changes Line Color

Nov 20, 2012I spend 12 hours a day in illustrator and some functionality seems to simplistic and ultimately annoying.I'm using Windows 7 64bit. Adobe Illustrator CS6
1. Please auto switch between Stroke fill and fill when I select text. 99% of my time is spent only using fill on text. I would rather manually switch to Stroke when I want to add a fill to it rather having to switch to fill each time.
2. Same for Stroke, from point 1.
3. Add an auto layer for Guides. When I am using the Scissors tool, the majority of the time I don't want to cut my guides up, I would rather instead cut up the shape below it. Again manually changing the layer to select the guide would be preferable.
4. I personally never use the Eraser tool and I switch to the Scissors Tool. Without fail every time I launch Illustrator I have to switch from the Eraser Tool too the Scissors tool. Please add cookies or something so I don't have to always switch to the Scissors Tool.
5. Move "Align to Pixel" toggle somewhere outside a file menu.
AutoCad :: Convert Polylines In One
Jan 4, 2012How can i convert more polylines to one?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: 3D Section Of 2D Polylines
Nov 22, 2012Over the past year I have been working on quickly generating vertical cross sections through 2D lines. I have exhausted all of my connections with fellow AutoCAD users and I still haven't found an efficient solution.
The material I'm working with is a bunch of polylines that kind of resemble branching tree roots from dozens of trees. The polylines sprout from seed points and then branch and cross each other as they move down. I need to generate many vertical sections through the lines. Since the material is composed of lines a slice along a plane would only generate points. I need to take a slice of a volume of lines so that the paths are preserved.
I have tried creating two vertical parallel planes and then using the slice tool on each plane. This would break up all of the polylines at the intersection with the planes so I can manually delete all segments that are not between the planes. This is time consuming, and also leaves room for error when manually deleting line segments.
The ideal tool for efficiency and accuracy would be Section Line. I could create a section line, convert it to a volume, and generate a 3D section with the option to save the section to a new file. The problem with this is that the section tool only works on solid 3D objects. I have considered sweeping a small diameter circle along each polyline to give them volume, but this would take days to weeks of work.
Is there a better tool or method for creating 3D sections of a volume of polylines? Are there any tricks that can be used to allow the 3D section tool to work with the polylines? Maybe I could convert them to a different type of object.
I am using AutoCAD 2013.
