AutoCad :: Viewport Set For 2D Wireframe - Text Won't Show Up If Over Box Entity
Aug 17, 2012
my viewport is set for 2d wireframe, even when i have certain layers turned off or frozen the viewable lines in the layyers that are 'on' are broken as if i was in 2D hidden. text wont show up if over a "box" entity, no matter what elevation i set it at. The results come out upon printing as well.
There must be a display setting i am unaware of to fix this. Why do certain entities override others even if the later is at an elevation above it? Someone referred to draw order before but I still do not understand how to make that work.

With my viewport set at "2D wireframe", all object lines show regardless of elevation which can make it difficult to read and hard to really get the idea of what is going on in the drawing. Therefore I changed my viewport to "hidden" in an attempt to depict what is higher in elevation over lower objects by having the higher objects cancel out lower objects when running over them. For some reason it works with conduit running over conduit but when the conduit runs over other objects (that are lower in elevation) created with the box command the lines do not get broken.. the lower box object actual cancels out the higher conduit object??

At work one of our computers is running Acad 2009. For some reason the nav. cube only shows if I use a visual style other than 2D Wireframe. With the latter it's gone, and seeing how 2D Wireframe is what I use 90% of the time I really miss the cube! I can't find a solution to this in the nav. cube options.

how to make a layer or an entity transparent within a viewport?
I figured out the following code found in:
[URL]
It gives an error at New Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Transparency(127)
Using transactie AsTransaction = DWG.TransactionManager.StartTransaction
Dim Layertable AsLayerTable = DWG.LayerTableId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead)
Dim VP AsViewport = transactie.GetObject(Doc.Editor.CurrentViewportObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
Dim LVPO AsLayerViewportProperties
ForEach LayerID In Layertable

I'm using 2D wireframe as my default view while extruding some solid pipes. Everything appears to work fine, but when I switch to any other shademode eg. 3D wireframe, some of the pipes disappear. In Navisworks they show up as listed objects in the selection tree but cannot be displayed and more imporantly do not get considered in clash detection.
I can't see anything different about the properties of the "hidden" pipes over any others that can be seen.
If I slice the "hidden" solids, then one half or both halves become visible like a normal solid again.
I have hundreds of pipes to model and clash so need to resolve what's happening here. Attached is a small sample file.

I have encountered problems with the viewport, randomly it has been impossible to click through wireframe models on the Viewport.
It treats everything like a shaded object even when set on wireframe. This means that if I have to get to a rug in the basement I have to go through the Roof, ceiling, bedroom floor, kitchen ceiling, kitchen cabinets, kitchen floor, basement ceiling before I can get to the rug. This has become annoying because if I wanted to select a few objects I cant even click and drag because it will click on the roof and move that. The only way I can click on something is if I go in to perspective and click on it directly, and when an object has multiple pieces to it it becomes a hastle.

after loading the background image in the usual way you do its visible in all modes except when you switch to wireframe, which is the most likely time when you do want to see it. Maybe something to do with the nitrous viewport thingy, dont know?. Running a 64 bit os on a quad core system with 12 gb of ram and an invidia quadro 3800 card. Like to say that the nirous viewer is a great improvement for viewport accuracy , only seems to work with four lights though?

We have many text entities in our drawing quoting a number "S3". We need to suffix that number with the text "PT" Most, if not all, of the "S3"'s are MText.
However, the "PT" text needs to be at about 70% of the size of the "S3" and be positioned almost like a superscript. It also needs to be a different colour for pen table reasons.
S3 = Colour 2, 0.35 text
PT = Colour 1, 0.25 text

I would like to add additional entities to the selection if any of the selected entities contains a an xdata value.
If I put the condition into the ImpliedSelectionChanged reactor I imagine will probably loop back on itself.

how to draw a text entity in 3d, where I know the 3d ins point, and the plane it should be flat to.
I have not drawn text or inserted blocks programatically before where the plane they lie on is not flat.
I have done it before by setting a ucs and drawing stuff, but now I want no switches of UCS involved.

I am wanting to use autolisp to access the text in a MTEXT entity. assoc(1) gives me the first bit of text, but not the rest.Is there a way to use assoc to access each of a number of matches or do I need to write my own routine to find all the 1's?

I have a set of notes for a given jurisdiction that I need to show on mumltiple layout tabs within the same file. However, the notes need to change their width, number of columns, height, etc. for each layout tab to work with viewports and other drawing elements within each tab. My question is this- is there way using fields, blocks, rtext, something that will allow me to create one master copy of the note and basically have instances of the note on those other tabs that I can adjust the wrapping, height, columns etc.? I could just create a bunck of copies of the same note, but then if we get a comment from an AHJ about the notes, we need to make sure the comment is addressed in each instance of the note instead of just one master note. Is there way to do what Im asking, or is the technology just not there yet?

I am running the antique CAD 2004 and went to layouts to start setting up a page. When I drew in the view port, it does not show anything of the model space, zero, zip, nada. Tried "Scale to fit", a new view port with no luck. I opened another project file, it work perfectly, just not this one. It doesn't have any Xref's that I can see, but it does have some proxy objects.

there is a way to show or hide a specific object (not the layer it is sitting in) in a specified viewport without affecting its visibility in model space or other viewports. I came across a .vlx file from www.cadstudio.cz/dl./hideshow.vlx that does the job of showing or hiding an object in model space( and hence in all viewports).

Am trying to use millimeters for the first time. In model space, I set UNITS to millimeters. I draw a 5 unit line. No problem. I go to a layout tab and the viewport shows a 5" line, using a 1:1 scale. How do I make the viewport show a true 5mm line? If I choose inches as my units, the viewport scale is true 1:1 scale

I cannot get my dashed lines in my model space to show up dashed in my viewport.
I already tried MSLTSCALE = 1 in model space and PSLTSCALE = 1 and LTSCALE = 1 in paperspace.
it did not work.

Dimensions show when viewport style is set to 2d wire frame, but only show when they are draged outside the viewport frame when it is set to 3D hidden. Policy is no diemensions in modle space. So how do I show dimensions in paper space with the viewport style set to 3D hidden?

I am looking for some code that would allow me to select a MTEXT Entity - or other entity - (as the DEFAULT option) but also to allow me to type in some text manually or to pick a point in the drawing. Something that would present the user with:
"Select an object or [P to pick a point]" or
"Select MTEXT or [M to type].
I can write some code to type in text manually as the default option and get the second option to select entity using get string and then write some condition of if code but I don't know how to do it having entsel as default option.

We like to allow user to select a rectagular area in modal scpace. Then the code creates a paperscace viewport in a spcified layout. The viewport will show the selected area. find the old VBA code that achived this and the .net code I am trying with. .Net code always gives some exception.
VBA Code
'Lets find the center of the viewport in paperspace.
Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
center(0) = newWidth / 2
center(1) = newLength / 2
center(2) = 0
Dim lay As AcadLayout

I was using 3ds Max 2013 without any service packs installed and my bitmap resolution on screen looked great. I have updated to service pack 5 and now the resolution looks low quality. I have to use large maps for my scenes example 12345 x 4610 px.
I have not changed the driver (Nitrous), under Display Performance I have Improve Quality Progressively and the Procedural Maps Display Resolution at 4096 pixels, and progressive display is on.
From what I've read "By default, Nitrous viewports load texture bitmaps at their full size."
How can I get the high resolution bitmap back? Is there a setting that I have missed?

rencently I am testing the PFlow. I do not know why I could not see my mapped particles in the viewport I projected a plane with map to particles. Pic 1 is I captured PFlow nodes. Pic 2 is the one I rendered out. Even I used Data operator, still I could not get it working. I also tried in 3ds max 2013, the same thing.

I wanna confirm this bug. I'm almost sure it's generalized but who knows. But in most systems I've tried I couldn't get Gradient Ramp to show as viewport background when using Nitrous.
System specs vary greatly from Mac Pros to Dells and ATI and Geforces and one QuadroFX 3700. Most with recent graphic drivers.

I am trying to throw a screen shot up onto a TV model to make my rendering more fun and I can't get it to work right!!!
I duplicated one of the standard plastic materials in Revit's lib and replaced the color with a cutom image (first tried jpg then png). I had to tweak the transforms to get it to fit the screen. Looks great in the camera view but when I render the transforms are off.
Here are some images to illustrate the issue.

I would like to know how, if possible to make the attributes of a block show up as text. Example:
I am working on a power utility design where each power pole has a sequential name and may or may not have units that need to be added into a contract. I have my attributes set up where I can go in and assign a required number to a unit so I can export my data into excel. The problem I am having is that I have to enter the text and change the attribute quantities separately. Also, there are 40 or so different units and only a few certain ones required at each pole. Is there a way to set the attribute only to display text if the quantity is greater than zero so my list is not 40 units long at each pole?
(I am using Autocad 2013, 64 bit)
