My screen(worksheet) is lagging when I try to zoom in/out or move with my scroll button.
It goes better when i zoom in till I have a few lines on my screen but that's not really useful to work with.
Is there a chance could shoe me how to use iLogic to create copy of part by first searching through an excel worksheet columns, if the name exist in excel worksheet then donot save else create a copy of the part or save as whatever name is defined in the iLogic code.

I'm trying to start Excel and show the results of some BOM items I have written to a file like item number, part number and description.The task is to find components in an assembly that have a part number longer then 39 characters, due to ERP limitations.
What I´m doing is cycling through all BOM (structured) items on first level and check if the part number is longer then 39 characters.
I write these item number, part number, description to an Excel file (temp.xlsx), so the user sees which Components he has to check for the Part Number (make it shorter). I figured it would be best to do that with an excel file, so the user can save the results to a new file or just check it.
Values will be erased from the temporary excel file afterwards.Here I can't figure out how to start the excel application and open the file in an actual application window if possible.
how to list the results with plain iLogic that would do it too or some other solution to list a snapshot from the BOM.I guess there is no way to add your custom BOMViews ?
What tips/tricks are there to establishing a matching (or believably acceptable) perspective? The only thing I've got in the frame is the edge of the box, but just lining that up didn't do it.
I've attached a sample of what I'm talking about, with a sign that clearly is NOT correct.
I know that in ACR I can see where I have blown highlights by checking the highlight box. If I am working in PS CS2 and I want to see areas with blown highlights in a photo.

Normally I would just look to see if it was installed under Program Files or Program Files ( x86 ) but it is located on D: drive under another folder so I don't have that option.

I have a "damper", it's more or less a diesel exhaust flapper type vent, that hangs upside down and is held in the horizontal/closed position by a counterweight.
Typically we would experiment in the shop with the counterweight quantity and the length of the arm required to get the proper operation of the damper/flapper in respect to the air/exhaust flow.
Since we know the axis along the shaft for the flapper and the weight of the flapper and it's bracket on the arm...is there a way to figure this out in Inventor? Obviously it still may need to be dialed in/tweaked...but I'm not sure if it's even possible.

I have written some code that draws a graph. The graph starts at the 0,0 default of AutoCad Model Space and goes +X and +/-Y. I want to redraw the labels along the X axis every time the Zoom is changed by the user, to change the text height and density of the labels. I need to know the the current Zoom in relation to the actual extents of the graph. Ideally I would like to redraw the text as a result of the "zoom event" I don't know if there is such a thing or not.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEssentially, I have an odd shape that I fill in with a hatching. SOMETIMES, it will give me the area in the properties window (or when I use the list command). but other times, it will not give me the area.
I just hatched 4 different (but same general shape) areas, and on 3 of them CAD was able to compute the area, but not the 4th hatched area.
I created all 4 hatches using the exact same steps, so I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. The CAD Tech at the office cant seem to figure it out either .
I wish to determine the angle between two lines (that meet). I know how to do this manually, although does AutoCAD have a built in command similar the DI command maybe, or a LISP?

I read on here that you can use general reference point such as the average dimensions of a door/window ceiling etc. but the drawing is a longitudinal section of a church, namely, Temppeliaukio kirkko, which has no 'standard' dimensions.
I need this drawing in 1:100

I am looking to find out if the is a way of generating a stage storage table or volume table showing only the volume in the pond from the lowest intersecting existing ground contour to the top of the pond (to determine what would spill out of the pond in case of a berm failure) and if Civil 3D could make the determination of where that intersecting point is.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOften I have a group of lines that visually bound a closed shape, but aren't shapes as considered by Xara. For instance, in the image attached, the top group is a bunch of lines, and thus can't be filled. To color the interior, I've been duplicating those lines, and then manually joining them at appropriate points, to yield a shape (bottom) that can be filled. This takes some time, especially for complex drawings.
My question is if there is a shortcut by which Xara will determine the bounding shape for a group of overlapping lines?

Is there a way to determine which object in a selection is the key object? For example: draw 10 squares on a layer, select all of them, click on one of the 10 and it becomes the Key Object (heavy border) for things like Distribute Spacing on the Align pallete. I can determine that a particular object is selected via ActiveDocument.Selection.PathItem[n].Selected = true/false. But I can't figure out how to find out if this is the KeyObject. The ultimate goal is to modify the below script so that it uses the KeyObject as the reference and not the object on the bottom-most layer.
Here is the Script - from [URL]
mySelection = activeDocument.selection;
if (mySelection.length>0){
if (mySelection instanceof Array) {

I just started my CAD classes. I have been doing basic 2d drawing and just learning the commands etc.
My question concerns polar coordinates. I know how they work, but are you expected to be able to get polar coordinates off lets say a hard copy drawing with no annotations.
My homework so far has always had the length of the lines depicted on the drawing but not the angles. So if I was required to replicate a drawing that had no annotation is there any way other than guessing or whipping out my protractor.
This is just a nagging thought as I strive to understand CAD.
If I have a "idw" file open containing an assembly (asm), and another "idw" file containing a part (ipt), how can I determine, using a VBA macro the type of file that I have used (either "assembly" or "Part")
If the "Idw" file contains an assembly, running the maco should say "assembly". If it contains only a part (ipt) then it should say "part"..Is this possible using a vba macro?
I have blocks that were created on one layer but inserted on another layer. So, when i turn the layer off that the blocks were inserted on they remain visible because you have to turn off the layer they were created on to have them disappear. Is there a way for me to determine what layer the blocks were created on?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am basically trying to determine how many lines are in the mutliline attribute. I have abandoned the idea of directly trying to find the the number of lines and have moved on to trying to fine the height of the multiline attribute. I have included the lisp and sample drawing that will draw a box of the boundingbox around the mutiline attribute.
This block as originally a dynamic block that different visual states. I have tried using the bounding box option on the block itself, however, if there are blocks hidden with the visual state, it will draw the bounding box according to the largest element in dynamic block every time. So I need to determine the height of the multiline attributes instead and adjust the dynamic block accordingly.
