i am trying to do this in gIMP. The closest i can get is checking angle/direction in the dynamic editor but it doesn't quite look right at all. Almost, but no. It is almost like the lines are lagging or slow to pick up on my mouses direction? If that makes any sense. i want it to look exactly like that video or if you don't want to watch it, a treasure map effect.

Our company purchased two brand new computers and upgraded to Map 3d 2011 and it has resulted in major time lag and running slow issues. We use a 15mb city map as are main drawing file and in AutoCad Map 2004 it runs smoothly. After the upgrade thing are running very poorly. Selecting and deleting files that could be done in seconds in 2004 now can takes a 1/2 hour. The program also seems to get stuck periodical on a selected item , requiring restart. We have upgraded all the drivers and I have tried several different display drivers. I have saved the map as a 2011 file and I have repaired it. I have tried upgrading to Map 2012 but the problems persist.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi am doing a simple project making a survey plot for a piece of land that will be broken into subdivision. all measurements are of my starting point. after plotting the starting point i try to draw line that is 113 feet long and at a bearing of N 5d W i have no problem entering this data but when i hit enter it draws a straight line. now i know 5 degrees is much of an angle so i thought maybe it just looked straight and tried to plot the next point which was 542 feet from the last point at a bearing of N 39d E but once again after i put the info in and hit enter or space it would plot a line of the proper length but vertical, not the proper angle i need it at. here is how i would put in the info:
first i choose the lne command and choose my "beginning point" as that starting point for my line then i type 113<N 5d W for the length and direction and hit enter. when i do this it plots a vertical line of the proper length but wrong angle. what am i doing wrong? i have ortho set to off and idk what else to mess with
I have a file that is behaving very oddly. Its a detail that I cannot pick some lines on in world UCS, but in Isometric views will pick ok, and to make matters worse, when I do a regen the lines in question vanish.

I have a roof plan where I am showing a high roof and low roof on the same view. I created a plan region around the low roof area and set the cut planes accordingly to show that roof. The walls under the low roof do not correctly display the existing walls losing the phase half tone and hidden lines. See the attached image. I can pick away at the walls one at a time to override the lines, but that is a PITA. Is this a bug problem with Revit 2014 Design Suite or a user problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOn Civil3D 2007, at least on my machine, the mouse seems to move slowly when it is over the drawing space, but moves at normal speeds when over menu or toolbar items and when in other applications. It's almost as if the "resolution" of the mouse changes as soon as it is over the drawing area in Civil3D. The result is that the mouse/pointer falls behind a little bit when you move it, almost like it does when you use a remote computer over a slow network connection. This makes it difficult to have precise mouse movements.
I should also mention that I don't have this problem in any other applications, including Land Desktop 2006. Some hardware specifics: Dell, P4-HT 3.0GHz, XPpro machine, 2 gig of RAM, RADEON X600 256MB video card, single monitor, Logitech Mx500 mouse, all updates current.
I am 2 days into using X6 instead of X4 attached to my trotec engraver, using XP.All goes well with the print to the trotec job control, with it picking up the red vector cut line.
But if I print multiple pages, or use print merge (which is essentially the same thing), the cut line only prints as red on the first page. From then on the print line is some grey colour and consequently the laser does not pick it up.
Have tried changing colour conversion to the Trotec, but this doesn't have any effect.

I'm currently using windows 8. OS Version is not related to this issue I think since I'm using both CS5 and CS6.CS6, compared to CS5, scroll increment is just too small, and there's no option for this in CS6. It is a real pain while zoomed in.

I use Creative Suite 6 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a Gen 3 Core i7, 12GB of ram and a 3GB Nvidia 670m video card so I know it's definitely not hardware related.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've created associative 3D sketches to use as trajectories for sweeps. I will often have to use one line extending from the end of another line. I make the two lines colinear. But when the model changes, sometimes one line will change direction and cause an overlapping condition which makes the sweep fail.
Any way to keep it from happening? Ideally, I'd create one line that extended, but you can't constrain a line to a point, only an endpoint to a point. I'm attaching the model.

I'm running GIMP 2.8.4 on a new Macbook Pro (only 4 months old, that's new in Mac years) running Mavericks.
When I click the eyedropper to sample a color from an image already in GIMP, the whole 'Change Foreground Color' or 'Change Background Color' window just freezes. I neither get the little floating eyedrop curser nor can I even close the box for a couple of minutes. It eventually lets me close it, but only after some time has elapsed, not because I've done anything that I can determine. Needless to say, I never get to actually sample a color
This was originally posted under 2009 - but I have this issue in 2010!
The old post was: Block Editor Posted: Aug 1, 2008 7:01 PM
When I go into block editor, edit the block then close it out. My cursor is really jerky in model space. Especially bad when I go into a command and try to select something. The only way to get rid of the jerkiness is to close auto cad and restart it. Is there anyway to cure this?
I have 2010 and am experiencing this exact same problem. It is intermittent and will sometimes 'go away' after a few minutes. Block editing is definitely related as a cause. I use SDI = 1 predominantly and it seems to be session independent. In other words one drawing session is experiencing the problem but jumping to another concurrent session exhibits no issues.
Task manager shows off the chart 99% plus on process ACAD when it is occurring.
Palette transparency is off globally. I have installed the latest NVidia driver for my Quadro NVS 285 video card. I am running a 3GHz P4 with 4 Gigabytes of ram - Dell Precision 380 workstation. Block Editor background color is default.
Restarting AutoCAD does make it go away - for the moment - but it is soon back. Even closing all tool palettes has no effect.
This does seem to be drawing specific - 2010 seems to be sensitive to something in older drawing blocks - prototype drawings from hotel vendors for instance - most likely inherited from a third party DXF process exhibit the issue heavily - and blocks from these drawings to a lesser degree. I have to constantly purge, audit, and wblock/replace my drawings to keep them clean. My default file type is 2010 which 'seems' to work, but it still happens. Audits show constant drawing errors cropping up, and repeating an audit, shows the same errors until a wblock replace is performed.
I am trying to miter the joints in an assembly being used for iCopy. Currently there is a driver sketch which has lines bisecting each corner at 45 degrees. However, what happens is that when the top line of the sketch is dragged across the bottom line of the sketch or the left line is dragged across the right so that the rectangle inverts itself, the line no longer bisects the angle. See the attached pictures for details.
This sketch shown is a master sketch used to drive part length and end details in an assembly. The blue lines are extruded into surfaces which define the parts using a "Between two planes" extrusion.
The sketch is unconstrained in four ways: overall width, overall height, vertical and horizontal movement. This is done to accomodate its use in as a flexible assembly in an iCopy command. What happens is that when the user applies the iCopy points from the wrong side of a sketch plane in the parent assembly, the sketch flips itself and resizes the assembly but the miters are inverted.
I know how to use eyedropper to pick up colors and save them into a palette. could I export the colors I picked up (one by one) and save their RGB values into another file directly. Suppose I picked up 10 colors, I want the RGB values of these 10 colors could be retrieved by a single time. Now I have to type these RGB values into another excel sheet one by one.

Just got my new work PC and I'm having issues drawing lines in AutoCAD LT 2011.
Much like other people, circles are fine, as is most everything else. It's just the lines (and who uses lines when drawing things?). So, as you can imagine, my frustration level is to the point where my head is about to explode.
Here are my PC Specs:
Windows 8
Intel Core i7-3770 3.40GHz - 8 CPUS
Memory - 16GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 7770
2GB GDDR5 Memory
And this is coming from an old Dell that ran 2011 like a champ, the computer just got old and died.
I can't see any reason, component wise, why the CPU can't handle it, and, since it's just on lines, it leads me to believe it's a software issue where 2011 LT isn't playing nicely with Windows 8 or some other component.
Could it be that it's just time to get with the times and upgrade or is there some workaround?
I have created a linetype with the text GAS OPTION in it. The line is continuous with a break around the text. In a straight line the linetype works fine (breaks around the text etc). However, when I use a polyline and spline the line for a curved line the text aligns with the direction of the line at the start, but when the line bends, the text suddenly changes direction and reads in the opposite direction. It looks like AutoCAD is trying to keep the text upright rather than following the direction of the line. When the text changes direction it also changes its insertion point and overlaps the continuous part of the line. I have 2013 AutoCAD.
Here is the string I used for the linetype.
*GAS_Option_LINE,Gas line ----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----GAS OPTION----
A,8,-15,["GAS OPTION",STANDARD,S=2.54,U=0.0,X=-2.35,Y=-1.27],-12

We're using AutoCAD 2013 via a Citrix XenApp server. We have a strange issue where the pointer continues to drift for a few seconds when rapidly drawing lines. This makes it very hard to draw with any speed because we have to keep waiting for the pointer to stop moving.
We've already followed the guidelines here, but they made no noticeable difference. The XenApp server has plenty of spare CPU and RAM. How we can stop this happening?
when working at this workstation, the crosshair gets very 'Jumpy' and slow as it gets near or cross over a dimension line. is there possibly a setting that is on or off that is causing this. It has nothing to do with the file. It happens on any file on this computer, but if i switch to a different workstation all is well. And this is a much faster workstation than the other. The issue also happens to a much lesser extent when crossing any drawing object. The cursor (crosshairs) will pause slightly. It is a very long pause when near the dim lines though. it is almost impossible to select or snap to an object or line if it is near a dimension line.
