View 2 RepliesIs it possible to have an aligned dimension where you can type your own text in the field "under"?
It is only possible to do this with linear dimensions but I have a building that isn't straigth and there I have this problem with linear dimensions that are not parallel with the wall.
[URL] How is it possible that I place an aligned dimension between two paralel grids and the dimensions changes as I drag it up and down? First of all, in order to be able to place an aligned dimensions the objects have to be absolutely paralel to each other, so I don't get why when I move the dimension it changes. If the grids were really not paralel to each other Revit shouldn't allow me to place the aligned dimension in the first place, isn't that right?

I’m wondering why the option “aligned to selected levels” is not active as I copy and paste from one level to another.

Why aligned dimensions won't work with the entire walls option when the selected wall and either adjacent wall meet at a non 90 degree corner? Seems screwy (non-intuitive) to me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to edit the percision for an aligned dimension. I know that the aligned dimension requires walls to be parallel. But what if two walls are .000000002 degrees off from being perfectly parallel? Would that really be enough of a difference to make thealign dimension tool unuseable? Is there a way to change the percision for the aligned dimension to read fewer decimal places? I have a rather large project that is in the later stages of CD's and really don't want to have to recheck the alignment of every wall.

It seems like the vertical mullions are not centered on the grid lines; one side of the mullion is 1 3/16" from the grid line while the other is 1 13/16" away. If you look at the mullion in plan, you'll see the same issue. If you look at the profile rfa file, it appears that the centerline is properly located and locked, it's just in the project file where it's off.
If I select the mullion in the browser the right-click, Make Element Editable is grayed out.
If I select the mullion in the drawing area, un-pin it and then right-click, Edit Family is grayed out.
If i select the mullion in the drawing area then click Edit Type, the Type Properties dialog box shows the two parameters in the Dimensions group, "Width on side 2" and "Width on side 1", that are uneven by the same amount that the mullion is off of the grid line. I suspect that this the issue, but these are both grayed out and I can't locate their origin. If I duplicate the mullion, those parameters are still grayed out.I can save the profile, but not the mullion, which is showing the issue and contains the parameters that I want to change. How I can select and edit the mullion?

Everytime I use the text tool and want to type text, it is:
1. right aligned, and
2. cursor stays left and pushes text to the right.
All stops are added to the left of the text.
I have already reset the tool and even my preferences.
i need to Create aligned CS line with increasing Chainage Number and Name through a center line (yellow line). The CS lines are 25 meter apart, it can be done by ME command, but can not automatically increase the Chainage number and CS number.
the CS number (CS-1200) is increasing by 1, like CS-1200, CS-1201, CS-1202, ....also The chainage number (CH Km 29+975) is increased by 25, Example: CH Km 29+975 , CH Km 30+000, CH Km 30+025, CH Km 30+050....
i would like to do it automatically, otherwise i have to keep editing for a long time,
I need to be able to Wrap Text along the outside of a circle, i now i used to use Arc-Aligned text but cant find it in Autocad 2013 on a Mac.

I just started using AutoCAD 2011 (I was previously using AutoCAD 2005) and am having a hard time finding my old controls while learning all the new features for which I got the program.
I am using Revit 2013 and I am trying to create a text parameter for my windows that will tell you what grid is installed in the window according to which grids you choose (from my parameters above) I have included a picture to better show what I am trying to do. So far the parameters i have tried to use don't seem to work.

I have a huge problem , the Text we used in Revit was Architxt but in Autocad it shows all the text in Ariel font and AutoCad won't let me change it to Architxt again, so far it is fine I can deal with that. the problem is I tried to create a new Architxt text style in Autocad but it shows as Arial font. now all my our projects are missed up , the text shows in Arial font.

View 5 Replies View RelatedTrying to place this dimension text. Is there any circumstance that someone would want the leader to be the final result of this animation?
Of all the ways to generate a leader (when the correct one to the center of the dim can't be generated), the extremely acute angle version doesn't seem like the best option.
it is possible to create text and then attach a formula to it to change it.
For example:I want to be able to draw or pick a line and if the line is less than X ft than "Say this" if the line is greater than X ft than "Say that"
What I want this block to do is to keep the "REF. NORTH" text aligned and properly spaced whithin a single motion while rotating it with the thick line.

I wonder if it is possible to create a new text style where one can set the text to be already rotated.
I know that it is possible to rotate text in many ways but the styles always seem to be set on the horizontal to begin with.

I can create a text box using the edit panel but no text will appear in the box. the pointer or curser won't appear in the box. I was able to insert text the first time I used Elements 10 but not anymore.

View 8 Replies View Related I have been in the process of making a map which I currently have in illustrator. I also downloaded some administrative boundaries which I have converted to a path in illustrator and am trying to overlay on top of this map.
The problem is, it just doesn't line up. If the top is aligned, the bottom and sides will be off.
Is there a way to select a few points on the path of which I know the exact position on the map and have illustrator warp, skew, resize the path and it will magically fit?
I teach in a large HS and students (and AutoCAD) occasionally stump me. I have architectural templates with layouts set up for Arch D paper. We almost always print to either ANSI B or Arch C paper. I have a routine for students to follow which will properly scale and position the layout on the desired paper size. Occasionally a student will do something to the layout which causes the WCS to be placed other than at the lower left print corner.
The result is the corner of the border line is displaced and half the drawing is off the page. When I check the limits the lower left corner has some very large values (don't know how they got changed). Most of the time we have to create a new layout and copy/paste the border and viewports.
Running 5.5 I double clicked on the rubber stamp tool & cleared the aligned box in the rubber stamp options palette. Then I alt clicked in the image. Then I clicked & dragged in another part of the image. The cross cursor at the source point moved as if the aligned box was still checked. How do I get the rubber stamp to work in the non-aligned mode?
