Any ideas how to convert photos to line drawings? The best I've come up with so far is greyscale, then filter / stylize / find edges. Not bad .... but I think I could do better.

We are creating a new company title block for the use in Inventor 2010 and AutoCAd 2010. It has initially been generated in Inventor and exported to AutoCAD. My problem is that all attributes that came over are now setup as multiline attributes and I can't seem to change them to single line. Therefore you have to open the multiline editor separately for every single item to make changes in lieu of just 'tabbing' through the values in the Enhanced Attribute Editor. This adds time and frustration and seems to be intolerable for some of my colleagues.
Is there a way to change the attributes to a single line in AutoCAD I'm just not aware of? I tried to find different settings for the export from Inventor but the options seem to be very limited.
I could probably go over this and create separate AutoCad only titleblock and border but that would kind of defeat the purpose.
I am new to autocad, i wanted to know if i can convert 2d drawings to 3d ?.

i'm open to trying different kinds of styles. anything from something like in the movie "Waking Life", to the Power Puff girls style of animation.
Even if i could get the photos to look like a water color painting would be cool.
i've been playing with them alot in photoshop and illustrator, but I just havent found a result I'm happy with yet. although, I only have the basic default photoshop filters here.
We have an employee in our office that is kind of old school in some ways. That person has a habit of exploding everything possible in a drawing. Most of us create notations using mtext so it's easy to edit and manipulate. Is there a way to convert the single line text back to multiline after it's exploded?

I am trying to convert scales of drawings and photocopies.I'd like to transfer a 2200mm line which is on an A3 sheet at 1:100 to an A4 sheet which is a photocopy of a drawing that was originally A3 at 1:100.

I have not done much isometric work for quite a few years now but i have a new company i am doing some freelance stuff for and the last in house person did all his drawings as isometrics.

how to get them clean and crisp? black ink drawings is what im scannin in, ive figured this much out; scan it in at a high resolution (i scaned in at 600dpi), scan it in grayscale, mess with the levels. the overall goal is to scan in a line drawing and color it.
im trying to get the lines to be a uniform solid black. ionno if this is something i should try to get when im actually drawing it or something that is best left to PS. it looks pretty good on paper but when i got it in PS the lines are not as solid as i thought.
We have just recently updated our templates to use a new TTF font. We are a multi national office, and are running various machines in both Australia and China. We are all using windows 7. Autocad are all full versions but vary between 2010 and 2012.
We are trying to convert survey drawings from a standard font to the ttf, but for some reason, in the Chinese office only the decimal points disappear after the conversion. The same drawing when sent to the Australian office works fine and the decimal points are there. What to try here, as I am in Australia and can't even reproduce the issue the chinese office is having.
I am working with a client who works in CATIA V5 and I am in Autocad 2012. Is there any software out there that can accurately convert, in both directions, both 2D and 3D drawings?

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn my 2D drawings I use a lot of splines. I restore/convert antique drawings of ancient boats and sailplanes in/to Autocad 2012. I use these drawings as a raster image and draw precisely over the handcrafted lines. So these original drawings contain a lot of hand shaped (organic) formes that go through, by dimension defined, fitpoints (so as indicated on the original plan) and are tangent to other lines elsewhere in the plan.
As I draw a lot of these splines, I want to manipulate the default settings in order to save time and effort.Is there a way in Autocad 2012 to increase the weight, by default, of a vertex point in such a way so that the vertex point becomes a fit point by itself? What is the maximum value to give to a vertex point? Does it become a fit point then?
When a fitpoint and a vertex point coincide, how to keep them stay that way; that means relocate both at the same time when editing the spline, and not one seperately.
I don't want to see these splines to leave the points they absolutely should go through as I clicked them when drawing the spline. I want splines to be smooth, and to stay smooth even after replacing fit points or vertici. And I don't have the time to re-re-re-re-refine every single spline I draw, as I draw so many. I've tried so hard to fix this problem, but I can't, probably because of incompetence.
I have several thousand photos that were taken with a digital camera set to take photos with a 3:4 ratio. When I try to print them, they get cut off. I've found that if I resize, copy, then paste to a 4x6 blank photoshop file, and save it as a jpeg, they print just fine (with some extra white space on the ends). This process takes 45-60 seconds per picture.

when I attempt to convert photos using the Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor option in Adobe Bridge.

Now I am getting now getting getting dialog boxes with "New Snapshot" in the title, I click OK, then get a message, "The command "Feather" is not currently available," I click "continue, and get a "New Layer" dialog box, I click OK, and get a "Fill" dialog box, I click OK and the JPG or Tiff is then generated. This series then starts over on the next photo to generate. I am using Photoshop CS5 on a MAC. I did uninstall and reinstall Photoshop l, but I am getting the same series on messages.

What I bring to the software is my background in studio arts 2D and 3D. Photography is a tool to support both of these activities. Over the years that skill has developed and I have many great photos. The photos make me a little nuts now that I focus on digital. In digitals photos I easily have over 60,000 photos. I have some experience with Photoshop. I won’t say I am a proficient but will say I have good skills in it. I created my first logo in Photoshop. Of course it is not vector and I know it should be vector. I did it at no charge for a nonprofit. I would still like to create a vector form of the logo. Awhile back I purchased a book titled “Illustrator CS5 on demand”. It breaks it down in a way that Illustrator is less intimidating. It has renewed my interest in Illustrator. How do I more effectively merge all of these tools and skills? How do I bring what I know to Illustrator’s table? I know there are great possibilities here if I can learn to build vector graphics.
I have a little issue with drawings where I cannot find out how to highlight fillet edges on the models. I dare say I am missing some simple setup option.
The picture attached shows what I mean. The left is how the model looks in drawing mode and on the right is how I would like it to look (taken from the modelling environment).
It's possible to select a part in a view on a 2D drawing and change the color of all the lines belonging to that part.
This is really useful, but is there a way of assigning a line color to the .ipt file it's self, so that every time I place a view of that part the lines are automatically set to specified color?
This would also be useful within a single drawing when there are multiple views of the same assembly. e.g.
Part A would always be drawn in Red, Part B would always be green. This would really distinguishing between parts in complex assemblies. (Which I realise can be done manually but I think it could be done faster with less chance of making mistakes.) Currently, I color all the parts, but then if I make an additional view, the new view is all in black.
