AutoCad :: Text Objects Moving To Different Locations

May 17, 2011

I just upgraded from ACAD 2007 3d to 2012 3d. The rest of my organization is using a "mix" of older versions, so we still save to the 2004 format. Text objects "moving" to different locations or disappearing on opening files in newer versions of ACAD? I've had two instances so far. In one case, a 2012 LT user added a leader/text and the 2000 LT user could see it. The text was clearly there in the 2012 users file. In the other case, I opened a file I worked on in 2007 and text objects seem to be moved about randomly when looking at it in 2012. Everything still looks good with the file opened in the 2007 though.

AutoCad 2D :: Difference Between Tool Palettes File Locations And Authoring Palette File Locations?

May 30, 2013

I am new to using Tool Palettes. I have created a folder on my C: drive which contains all my tool palettes. Right now, I get the symbol of a circle with a line drawn through it and cannot use my tool palettes.

In the Options tab, I noticed that there are the "Tool Palettes File Locations" and also "Authoring Palette File Locations". What is the difference between the two? Do I need to do something to both so I can use my tool palettes without difficulty?

AutoCAD LT :: Cannot See Objects While Moving

Aug 30, 2013

I recently started a trial for a program called PDF2CAD, the test file I converted worked fine. Everything is selectable and editable. When I move something it does show up while moving/copying. However, when I make additions to the drawing, text for example, and try to move/copy it it does not show up while moving.

PDF2CAD converted the PDF to a DXF format, which I then saved as a DWG.

DRAGMODE - Auto

DRAGP1 - 5000

DRAGP2 - 10

AutoCad :: Objects Keep Moving

Jun 13, 2012

I used to set precision to 3 decimal places which is in millimeters in my case. That is enough for the building industry. Recently, I found out a co worker worked on my drawing while I was on vacation. Something seem out of place, so I set the precision to 8 decimal places and noticed everything is off by a bit. In general, 0.00000002 isn't going to affect the project, but it just bugs me a lot. I spent hours lining everything up perfectly, just to find out most objects shifted again by a tiny bit after 2 days.I tested out a few lines by fixing them in the block editor and saving it. But everything I reedit them, they shifted again.I asked the co-worker if he remember what he did, but couldn't come up with a solution.

AutoCad 3D :: Objects Moving Away From Grips

Apr 16, 2013

So I am working on a very large project (AutoCAD Architecture 2012) and when I rotate my view, some of the 3D objects will randomly fly out into space. The strange thing is that the grips for the object are still where the object needs to be.

Below should be a picture to explain what I'm talking about.

Is this a bug? Is there a fix? Is this user error?

AutoCad 2D :: Moving Objects From One Layer To Another?

Apr 26, 2013

I am using Autocad 11. I am working on some 12 year old drawings for a railroad museum. They are a mess. They look like they were done be an old pencil guy. Lots of views all over the drawing space rather than using layers to his advantage.

I am watching all the tutorials that i can find. There are Blocks on wrong layers.

I want to move a group of lines (part of the stuff on one layer) onto a new layer that i have created. Is it as simple as cut and paste? How do I prevent them moving during the process?

I tried making their layer current, then selecting the items, then cutting the items. Then i made the new layer that I wanted them on Current, then pasted them. I has to very carefully line them back up, and they are still on the original layer.

AutoCad 3D :: Moving Objects To Absolute Coordinates?

May 19, 2013

I am still having trouble moving objects to precise coordinates. For instance, the thing I drew may be in the correct position in the x-y plane but I want to move it in the positive z direction a precise number of units. Or move it along the y axis by specifying where I want it to be not how far I want it to move.

I see...just use the tab key.

AutoCad 3D :: Moving 3D Objects To Touch Face

Jan 20, 2013

Im trying to move objects correctly , lets say from one to top of another .

Untill now im switching to desired view ( top, right, left etc...) and then moving . if my base point is a vertex and the point i want it to be attached it also a vertex , i have no problem. the problem starts when im trying to move object from their center point or other non vertex points to touch the face of the other object.

In the file i attached there's two rectangles i want to move the small one in top of the big one in the Z axis only , so i switched to the view i want but still unable to move it to the next face . Ive tried playing with 3d object snap , no success.

AutoCad 3D :: Moving 3D Objects In Relation To Road Surface

Oct 7, 2013

I use geophysical software which exports 3D objects to AutoCad in relation to the flat surface - "zero" level. Most often clients want to get results in local height datum (in relation to the road surface which has usually slope and is never perfectly flat).

Is there any method to move all objects automatically and show them in relation to the road surface? Ideally I would like to define road surface with three lines (two side lines and center line). Is there any plugin to AutoCad that can do it? If this operation goes beyond the possibilities of AutoCad, can you recommend me a software (eg. AutoCAD Civil), which automates the process?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Moving Objects In The X / Y Plane Only

Jul 29, 2013

I want to move a large 3D steel file on top of a 2D architectural background. The ISSUE is that when i move it (in plan view "aka top view") the X,Y coordinates change AND the Z coordinate changes... But, I want the Z coordinate to stay the same . I wrote a LISP file that doesnt seem to work (SEE BELOW):
 
(defun C:MoveXY (/ PT1 PTB PT2)(setvar "CMDECHO" 0)(setq PT1 (getpoint "
Specify Base Point or [Displacement] Displacement: ")PTB (getpoint "
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>: ")PT2 (list (car PTB)(cadr PTB)(cddr PT1)))(command "_.MOVE" (SSGET) "" PT1 PT2))

It seems my issue comes when i get to the command line (ssget) seems to mess it all up . How to use the ".Move" command with the (ssget) function?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Border Colour When Moving Objects On Drawings?

Jan 3, 2014

Is there an option to set the default colour for object borders? Our drawing templates have a black background. If I want to move a text or a view, all that is shown while moving the text or view is a rectangular border. Unfortunately this is also black and thus invisible. So you never really know where you move your object to.

AutoCAD VB :: Converting AttributeDefinition Objects To Text Objects On Same Layer

May 9, 2013

I have several .dwg files that I use as templates. I run find and replace VBA routines on the template .dwg files, ie find $Flavor$ and replace it with "Grape", and then I save the .dwg to another directory with a new name. 

These VBA routines work well for acdbText and acdbMText objects, but I have a bunch of AcdbAttributeDefinition objects in the .dwg templates as well.

After much research about the AutoCAD object model (I'm mostly a Microsoft Access VBA programmer), I have come to understand that these AcdbAttributeDefinition objects are actually "remnants" of a block that no longer exists in the drawing.

Anyway, I'd like to convert all of these orphaned AcdbAttributeDefinition objects to acdbText objects in the templates and then delete the AcdbAttributeDefinition objects. I have some code that does just that.

However, the issue that I am having with the code is that the newly created acdbText objects are not on the same layer that the original AcdbAttributeDefinition objects were on. I don't know the syntax to identify what layer the AcdbAttributeDefinition object is on or how to specify what layer on which the acdbText object is created.

how to keep the acdbText objects on the same layers as the original AcdbAttributeDefinition objects during the conversion and deletion process?

Here is the code I am using currently:

Sub AttConvert(dwg as string)Dim oDocument as AcadDocumentDim ent as AcadEntityDim aa as objectset oDocument = Documents.open(dwg) For Each ent In oDocument.ModelSpace If ent.ObjectName = "AcDbAttributeDefinition" Then' DO SOMETHING TO IDENTIFY WHAT LAYER THE ACDBATTRIBUTEDEFINITION OBJECT IS ON
' DO SOMETHING TO SPECIFY THAT THAT IS THE LAYER TO CREATE THE ACDBTEXT OBJECT ON Set aa = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddText(ent.TagString, ent.InsertionPoint, ent.Height) End If Next ent For Each ent In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace If ent.ObjectName = "AcDbAttributeDefinition" Then ent.Delete End If Next ent End Sub

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Moving Objects To Different Layer Is Slow

Nov 26, 2013

I find that the command to move objects to a different layers runs very slow in one of the drawing.  I want to find out what wrong with the drawing and how to speed things up.

I have a LISP program that batch processes a large number of drawings.  One of the step to process each drawing is to change the colors of some objects according to the status of the objects.  I do this by moving the objects to a later that has the right color.  So far the program only takes 2 to 4 minutes to process each drawing.  But the program takes close to 90 minutes to process one specific drawing.  I track down the problem has to do with the command that moves the objects to the right layer, like this:
 
(vl-cmdf "_.chprop" (ssget) "" "_layer" "ABC-Prod-Good-Pcs" "")

 This command takes a very long time to finish, like 40 minutes each time it runs (to move 1200+ objects), and the program needs to run it twice for a total of approximately 80 minutes.

Please note that the drawing itself is not the largest drawing, and it doesn't have the largest number of objects to be moved either.  It is close to the top-5 drawings in term of drawing size and the number of objects to be moved. I cannot say that the drawing size or the number of objects to be moved are the cause of the problem.

I tried to "speed up" by moving 200 objects incrementally.  That didn't work. I tried to "speed up" by moving 100 objects incrementally and saving the drawing after each 100 objects are moved.  That didn't work either; actually the speed is slightly slower than simply moving 1200+ objects all at once.

I don't know what to do.  I believe there may be something unusual about that drawing.  By the way, the reason why I choose to change color by moving objects to a different layer has to do with the fact that I have found this is the best way so far. I tried to change the color of the objects directly.  But I find that the color of some sub-parts of the objects are not changed (because their color is by-layer). That's why I choose to change color by moving objects to a different layer.

How I can check the drawing, any different way to change color that is better.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Moving Multiple Objects With A Point Filter Macro?

Mar 1, 2013

I am attempting to do a macro that will allow me to select multiple objects and then move them in only ONE axis. For example, If I want to move a wall, the door and the window in the Y axis to align with another wall across the hall. I have attempted to do this in a button macro, but so far its limited. Here is the macro

^c^c_move;\.xz;@;

This will allow me to click the customized button, then select ONE object by a displacement, and it will only move it in the Y axis and allows me to choose the point with a mouse click of the final location.

When I try to select more than one object, it kicks me ahead in the commands and prompts for (needs Y). how I can figure out the correct macro?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Moving Objects Vertically In 3d View

Jan 1, 2014

I am having trouble moving an object a certain distance. The distance is defined by a pre-defined variable. I just can't figure out the syntax for the autolisp command.

Here is the bit of code if written, there is more code not shared here that defines the points for the polyline .

;-- the varaible box_height is defined earlier in the routine

;-- Draw the polyline for the top of the cabinet
(command "pline" p1tt P2tt P3tt P4tt P5tt P6tt P7tt P8tt "c")

;-- Assign the new part a variable name
(setq cab_toppl (entlast))

;-- Extrude the polyline to make the top of the cabinet
(command "extrude" cab_toppl "" cab_intw "0")

;-- Assign the new part a variable name
(setq cab_top (entlast))

;-- Rotate the top of the cabinet down to the floor of cabinet

(command "rotate3d" cab_top "" 2 p1tt p2tt 90)

;-- Move the top of the cabinet to the final location

;--  HERE IS THE PART I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH.  ESSENTIALLY ONCE THE PART IS CREATED I'VE NAMED IT CAB_TOP AND AM NOW TRYING TO MOVE IT IN THE Z AXIS THE DISTANCE DEFINED BY THE VARIABLE BOX_HEIGHT WITHOUT USER INPUT

(command "move" cab_top "" "0,0,0" (list (0 0 (box_height) "") 

;--THIS PART IS OKAY

(setvar "CLAYER" oldlayer) ;restore active layer

(setvar "BLIPMODE" 1)
(setvar "OSMODE" 135)

3ds Max :: Moving Objects From One Center?

Apr 14, 2011

I just started on the roof of the round house I'm working on. I use spacing tool to copy shingles around but now I'm thinking is there an easier way. This takes time. Can you think of any? I was always missing one "tool" in MAX and I think there probably is one. You know when you select many objects and use scale to scale them all (using one center, not each owns), and the objects move as if they are pieces of explosion or implosion (towards or away a centre). But also, they change size of course. Is there a tool or a way to just MOVE the objects this way? Away or towards each other but not scale them?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Strange Freezing When Moving Objects

Oct 18, 2012

I suppose when you open a file in Corel draw, it is loaded to RAM and apart from cases when the file is autosaved or backup is done etc it should not depend on actual drive on which the original file is saved.

However I have very often problems recently with corel freezing for some time when just trying to move even small object inside the file. I am using network drive and write speed on it is not the fastest but still 25MB per sec. I am thinking of upgrading to 1Gb but my crucial question is:

Is it at all possible that internal work within a document is somehow dependant on connection speed with the drive? It doesn't happen all the time but when it happens there are no processes in the background that could possibly affect the Corel Draw performance.Graphic Designer, Web designer and playing with Video and Audio mixing and editing as well ;-).Working for Large Format Printing company Carrick Signs.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 :: Moving Objects Up Or Down?

Bad news is that its happening after longer period of work like around hour or more, designs with hundred or more objects.

90% of "not responding" errors are caused by moving objects down or up.

With X6 64bit  I learned to save files more often than in previous versions.
