Xara :: Hitting Wall - It Goes Into Straight Mode?

Jan 28, 2014

We do draw a lot a we want to draw fast. And sometimes you hit the wall.But XDP9 has a flaw that I ddn't experienced before and that I'd like to check with users on this forum. But only those with a Pen like a Wacom or nTrig. So all users with a tablet with pressure sensitive setup are susceptible too.

Try to doodle a line with your pen by circling around fast and long. In my experience the lines go less smooth and eventually will evolve to straight lines (see attached screendump) Once you hit that level Xara tends to straighten every move you make with that pen.

I've hit this behaviour when I was doodling on a rather outclassed tablet with rather ancient hardware (a Portege m400 with only 2gb Ram and a Pentium T2600 (dual core). I can repeat this behaviour on a M700 with a core2duo and 4Gb albait it takes longer to hit the wall.

Xara :: Make Straight Lines Look Hand Drawn?

Jan 3, 2013

I was wondering if there's any easy way to make lines to appear less precise as if they were hand drawn with a pencil?

eg.

I have seen brush strokes, but they only really provide a texture rather than a variation in the line as far as I have seen.

Xara :: How To Draw A Series Of Straight Connected Lines

Nov 10, 2011

I assume there's some button combination I'm missing? All I know is I can connect a series of freehand lines no problem, but the straight line tool is not consistent operation with the freehand tool.

Xara :: How To Use Straight Line Tool To Make The Vertical And Horizontal Lines

Apr 6, 2011

I'm pretty new and have a simple problem that for some reason I can't figure it out! And that is how to make a series of lines on the image that are all perfectly horizontal or perfectly verticle. This will be part of a chart and the lines will be dividers. So the chart will have basically 21 rectangles with 3 rectangles across and 7 rectangles down.

So, I KNOW how to use the straight line tool to make the vertical and horizontal lines but I don't know how to keep the lines perfectly vertical and horizontal and parallel with each other!

Xara :: Exiting Fullscreen Mode Without Number Keypad?

Mar 9, 2011

I'm drawing a blank here...anyway, I just got a new laptop (mac), and am loving it. I've gone and put XDP6 into fullscreen mode (by mistake) and can't figure out how to get out of it.

Of course I don't have a keypad, and I've not figured out how to customize the shortcut away from numpad 8.

Xara :: Close Documents Dialog When Exiting Edit Group Mode?

Sep 21, 2011

When X7 and its Group Editing mode first came out, there were grumblings about the "Closing Document" dialog that appears when clicking on the little "X" found on the Edit Inside tab.

I am sure most folks have found that can all be bypassed (assuming you want to keep the edits you just made). But for those that haven't, simply click the Save Icon in the Standard Toolbar.

Photoshop :: CS6 / Zoom To Percent Without Hitting Enter?

Dec 29, 2012

Just upgraded to PS CS6, and am having a problem manually entering a value for the magnification level in the status bar (same goes for Navigator panel).Is it supposed to automatically zoom to the amount entered without hitting enter/return? For example, if I want 25%, the box will read 2%5 and tells me my value is invalid by the time I hit return (the document will go to 2% automatically before I hit the 5). I can find nothing on this anywhere online, and the documentation mentions typing a number then having to press enter/return. Is this a feature? A glitch? Can it be disabled/fixed?

I am running a Mac and small Cintiq with an on-screen keyboard (so typing speed is slow and screen area at a premium), and the button on the pen (set to be an 'option' key) sticks on occasion.

3ds Max Modeling :: Fix Holes By Selecting The Whole Mesh And Hitting Weld At .001

Jan 12, 2011

I am trying to fix holes on my mesh by selecting the whole mesh and hitting weld at .001, but its pulling the whole mesh in. I have tried increasing the scale of the mesh by 1000x and even 5000x but a weld of .001 is causing the exact same result. I thought increasing the mesh size was supposed to scale the weld distance as well but its not for some reason.

Revit :: How To Get Wall Sweep Set Up In Type / Structure Properties To Wall Profile Has Changed

Apr 12, 2012

Any way to get a wall sweep that's set up in the type/structure properties to follow a wall if that walls profile has changed.  For example, in the image below, I've split the wall and adjusted it's profile to create some cheesy angled parapet.  How do i get my wall cap to follow along?  I thought splitting it and changing it's height would work, but no.  And if I change the profile without splitting the wall the wall cap just runs right through the wall, as if the profiel was never even changed.

Revit :: Bulkhead Wall Join Skews Bottom Of Existing Wall

Jul 25, 2013

I have to draw a bulkhead wall that connects to a full height wall and a gyp bd ceiling.  This causes the entire end of the full height wall to skew in line with the butt joint above the ceiling level.  I tried Wall Joins but all the options screw up the bottom half of the wall which needs to remain in line with the paired opposite.  I also tried editing the sketch of the wall profile but Revit couldn't keep the elements joined.  I tried trimming the two walls back together afterwards but the wall profile dominates and prevents a clean join above the ceiling.
 
Surely there's a way to have different kinds of joins at different heights?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 Retaining Wall Assembly And Wall Height?

Jul 23, 2012

I am using the RetainWallVertical subassembly with a created gutter subassembly attached to the wall and a DaylightGeneral subassembly attached to the gutter assembly.  My cut slope parameter is set to hold at 1.5:1.  I would like to use a target (feature line or alignment) to daylight to and have the wall height adjust accordingly.  Problem, I am not able to use a target other than a surface for daylighting.  I can use my existing ground surface, which I am daylighting too, but I can't adjust the target point.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Style Creation (Window To Cut Only One Portion Of Wall)

Dec 7, 2011

I'm attempting to create a wall style that has 2 components, a framed wall and a brick veneer.  What I would like to do is have this wall react a certain way when I insert a window.  Basically, I don't want the window to cut into the brick veneer, only the framing.

I have attached my attempt so far, and I have not figured out how to get the window to only cut the framed portion.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Previewing Assembly Constraints Before Hitting Apply?

Oct 29, 2011

I just recently installed Inventor 2012 and I'm finding it extremely annoying assembling parts together. I recall in 2011 I could see the parts interact and how the constraints would effect assemblies as I change offsets, relstionships, etc. But now in 2012 I can't see any of that until I acutallly apply the constrain and if it's wrong I have to back and edit it over multiple times till I get what I want. Is there anyway to get a preview of what will happen before I click the apply buton?

Revit :: Arched Hole In Wall And Wall Height

Apr 16, 2013

I am trying to make a floorplan of my house in Revit 2013, but I am having an issue when it comes to one wall in my house. I have an opening in the Master Bedroom that leads to the bathroom. This wall has a weird arched-like opening in it and I have no clue how to make this in Revit. I have attached a sketch.
 
Also, my exterior walls are 7' tall but the interior walls start at 7' and go up to 8' once in the middle of the house and reduce back to 7". How does one set that up in Revit?
 
EDIT: May have made the image too small to see, but the top is not arched, it is actually half of a decagon.

Revit :: Adding Wall Sweeps To Wall Profile?

Jul 29, 2011

I have a question about wall profiles. I want to make a profile on a wall so I can make Zinc Panels on the wall that are 10" X 20". I've attached a picture of what I'm going for. I'd like it to have a 1/2" spacing between them and with a joint depth of 1" and I'd like to do this is the wall type so that I can use this wall in multiple places rather than having it model-in-place. Anyway I have made a profile that is 1" X 10" so that it can become my panel  profile. But when I go to add it to the wall as a wall sweep as I have seen people do I get hung up on how to make it tile up the wall and also I don't understand how to make the profile so that it is 20" wide. I have a screen shot of where I'm editing this too. Below is the link of the site.
