Is there a command to find loops and crossed lines in curves/lines.
I've been playing with Powertrace and noticed that quite often the lines/curves will have loops in them, particularly at sharp bends.
I have to zoom right in to see these but this is a very painstaking and slow method of finding these. I use Draw primarily to get cut paths so there can't be any crossing lines. Visually the drawing can look good but cam software finds these loops as tiny as a few thousands of an inch.
As the first picture presents: 1.Only some of the quadrangle are being crossed with two red lines 2.Numbers, quadrangles and red lines are in separate layers
I need to do the following thing: 1.Make sure that all quadrangles are closed and that each quadrangle has one number inside of that closed area. 2.Get a list of quadrangles that are being crossed over with two red lines (the space between two red lines is the one that counts) (for this example I must get: 500, 501, 505, 506, 507, 50 3.Find out the area of each given quadrangle in step 2. (for example 500 – 1360.32, 501 – 4056.42, 505 – 5050.03 etc.) and hatch each one of them (it would be nice if I could automatically find out the number of hatched quadrangles – for this example: 6).
So the final result should be: in CAD as in picture 2 with number of hatched objects: 6 and in a file that is excel/notepad readable as in picture 3.
FontNav X6 64bit is wrongly detecting italic fonts as duplicates of others?
My details:X6 installed on newly delivered 64 bit win 7 professional (with all available windows updates).Asked fontnav to find fonts from D:UsersPublicDocumentsCorelContent X6Fonts (as installed from X6 DVD).The catalogue shows at most two fonts from each family of four:
Going to file > Settings > Duplicate Fonts shows the reason: the regular and italic versions of the font have been improperly detected as duplicates of each other.
It applies equally to the fonts on the Corel CD and those already installed in windows, including standard fonts such as Times New Roman.

I have a site plan with trees which look like two crossed planes when looked in 3D black and white. I wonder if there is a way to smooth these trees so they look smooth at least during the time that I prepare a PDF of the black and white 3D Site Plan. If this setting can be reverted to the crossed trees after preparing the PDF, that is fine. Also at this time I am working with black and white 3D, so color is not an issue, only the smoothness of the trees. Is there a setting that can make these trees look smooth?
I'm having a huge issue in trying to prevent t-loops in my model. Every time I try the Cut and Loop technique to make more edges in the hopes of getting rid of the t-loops, the new loops keep "spiraling" if you know what I mean (in the attached image, the selected edges are the same line). As a result, more and more unwanted t-loops keep appearing and they have nowhere to connect and it prevents the model from working in Mudbox.

Today's Question is as mentioned above, How to remove the loops from a surface?
I have a surface created from the points. Eventually it has got many ups & downs in the elevations, so I did delete some of the points from the surface. And due to this, some loops are developed inside the surface itself with the closed boundaries.
I also tried to draw surface lines in those loops, either they get shorten or gets enlarged but does not completely vanishes...

I am trying to import a complex curve from autocad lt (in my case an airfoil), to create parts. I have drawn the curve in autocad lt as a polyline. Autocad lt treats the curve as a single object, and seems to understand it as a closed loop.
When I import the curve into Inventor lt, Inventor treats the curve as a series of unconnected line segments. What can I do in either Autocad lt or Inventor lt to get Inventor to treat the curve as a single object, so that I can then extrude it?
I can't select edge loops created using the chamfer tool. For example, add a cube (1 segment in all direction), convert to editable poly and select one edge, chamfer it a little bit to make it rounded, now there's clearly a loop of edges there, but it's not selectable by using the loop selection.
I know there is the insert edge tools, but I am looking to quickly add a variable number of edge loop either evenly spaced or sporadically space in one operation.
I'm coming from Lightwave3D so excuse me if I try to relate tools to it here.
I am making some fairly free form sketches using lots of 3-point arcs that ultimately need to be closed loops so that I can extrude them. Although I have always been letting one arc snap to another at the end of the process I seem to have trouble closing the loop. It does not seem very apparent how to find the points that are not properly closed and I wind up struggling with the Close Loop function. Is there an easy way to tell where the problems are in a profile? I have tried showing all constraints, but that doesn't necessarily give me the clues I need.
I have installed Open Sans Font and did some design work in photoshop using the same font. But after I reopen the photoshop, the fonts in the C:\ Windowsfonts changes to a shortcut (which means it moves from that place to another) and photoshop is not detecting the particular font. It is happening with most of the fonts I install. And I'm forced to install the font again.
Lightroom 4 only detects Photoshop cs2, not cs5, so I can't jump over to cs5 for further editting. Is there an easy way to correct this? I assume it is because cs2 was installed after cs5 (don't ask, it wasn't me!)
In regards to sweeping, what does the title of the post mean (self intersecting paths or loops are invalid for this operation). I have a 3D sketch consisting of 1 straight line, one spline with 4 points dictated by 'points' and an arc. All have tangential constrains to each other and I am looking to sweep a circle along this path to create a bent wire. I don't have anypictures or files as it is a stand alone computer at the moment.
is there a way to use vb to add closed sketch loops to an existing feature?
I am trying to create a parametric template for a fan guard assembly, complete with drawings.
I am using an arrangement of circles defined using some linear sketch patterns as the cross-section of a revolved feature. Using ilogic/vb, I want to automate the number and spacing of items in the linear pattern, and then update the loops selected for the revolved feature.
I have found code on this forum (courtesy of Curtis Waguespack) that I can use to select all closed loops and create a feature. I can apply this code to create a NEW revolved feature, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it to UPDATE an existing feature.
I need the feature to UPDATE rather than create new to maintain links in my assemblies and drawings.
Any way to make symmetric mesh edits, ie adding/removing edge loops, while preserving your UVs? I have unique UVs for each side of the model, and I don't want to have to delete half of the mode, apply a symmetry modifier, then offset half of the UVs every time I need to make an edit to the model.
I know how to use the various menu items to select rings and loops, and even understand that double-clicking will select an entire loop/ring, but how do I select a range of loops/rings?
After selecting the first edge, then double-clicking on a second only results with the entire loop/ring getting selected. A single-click will merely add the next selection to the first, but not fill in the range in between. This used to be more intuitive. What has changed? I've tried using additional keys to no avail.
Is Photoshop able to determine whether a particular image has previously been modified in some way? Or are there other pieces of software that allow you to do that?
Just recently Photoshop CS5 64-bit has not been detecting my GPU. It was working perfectly fine for over a year until about two months ago after, I guess, a driver update? I'm not sure which version may have caused it to happen but I just upgraded the driver to the one that was released today on Nvidia (GeForce 306.97 Driver), doing a clean install, and Photoshop is still not detecting the card...It's frustrating as I'd like to be able to use the Open GL functions again. I also have two hard drives if that could be any source of the problem.
To elaborate, I am running an SSD (C:) and an HDD (E:). I have Photoshop and my GPU drivers installed in C:.
Anyways, I opened up preferences and tried switching the scratch drive to E: and restarted Photoshop. I got an error saying "Could not open a scratch file because of a disk error." Pressing "OK", I received another error message "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invaled (it has been deleted)". Pressing "OK" again gets Photoshop to start up and suddenly it is recognizing my GPU and allowing Open GL functions. But as soon as I close out of Photoshop and re-open it, it's back to not detecting my GPU and has Open GL functions grayed out.
I searched the forums for similar issues and came across with the possibility of permission issues or missing TEMP folder...however the permissions look fine and there is a temp folder in my C: drive. What's with this? I'd love to find a fix ASAP as I use PS every day and it's starting to become a real work efficiency issue!
I think on this stamp there is a date printed by the post office but it is not entirely visible. Is there a chance to detect it working, e.g., with levels or something else? I tried but I did not succeeded. Is there a general method to do it?

I have the latest update of LR 4.1 and newest firmware for my D800, but I start start it says camera not detected. I tried restarting the PC, LR, the camera, etc. several times but nothing.
Some of the models that I convert into NWDs (via Naviswork's automation API ) may contain left over artifacts that the designer left, often in outer space, which causes the constructed NWD (and thus any other NWD that has appended the erroneous one) to have very large extents.
What would be an approach in detecting such artifacts in the DWG via the API? I'd like to construct a .NET app that would run to scan the models for such space junk before being processed by Navisworks?
I'm trying to get the pressure levels for my tablet working right. I want it to increase hardness when I press harder, but instead hardness DECREASES. Is there a way to flip it around? The matrix just seems to be booleans, with only checkmarks or no checkmarks.
Actually, scratch that. Now the pressure levels aren't detecting AT ALL. I have the tablet enabled in Input Devices, and the pen is Pressure-Opacity but nothing changes based on pressure.
I work on a field of railways and most of the time i spend my time finding radiuses and lenghts of curves between two railway points. I wonder if autocad could do that automatically for me.
