When I've mis-aligned a group of objects my instinct is to hit Ctrl+Z and try again but the Object Alignment dialog doesn't appear to be passing keyboard commands back to Xara so I have to first click somewhere in the main window, undo and then re-select the Object Alignment dialog.
Not a huge deal but I've just started playing with Xara and thought I'd document quirks as I discover them, as part of my learning curve.
Is there any way to perform a series of keystrokes using a single short-cut key?

Example ID 1 = red material (R). but for a wired reason I keep getting different colours assigned to my specified objects. URL....
I will receive a 2D object and a normal pass. And from that I need to create some shperical image that will be mapped on to the image without being in 3D space. I know it's somehow possible in Fusion using some global pointers. Is something similar possible in Smoke?

I'm not in good command of the Xara model here. If I create a move a series of copies lines (in effort to, say, make a grid), if I move the line from the bottom upwards it tends to align on the top edge. If I move from the above downwards, it tends to align on the bottom edge.
However, not always. <----this spooks me a bit.
This is with "align to grid" on, but "align to object" off.
Is there a way to have the line path itself (the infinitely thin middle of the line) align to the grid? I'm assuming that I can then worry about line joins (mitre, butt, etc.) separately.

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.
I have started having issues when creating alignments from objects.
I am building roads from plans for setout on site, I receive 2d linework and need to build the 3d road up. I join the required linework into a polyline so I can make a few checks that the lengths and so on are correct before I continue. Then usually I would just go and make an alignment from the polyline.
e.g. Monday I was setting up 3 intersections and dealing with 6 kerb returns on there. The first 2 created correctly, then when I created the 3rd one I couldn't see it. Then when I did zoom extents it was way off to the left and a mirror of the linework I was trying to create it from. It did it to a further 2 of them and the other 2 came out correctly.
Now it is doing to me when trying to create a centreline.
I need to know the visual basic 6 code to allow me to send Keystrokes to AutoCAD using Visual Basic 6.
Using the onscreen keyboard works ok.
I'm looking to send keystrokes programmically using iLogic as if the keys were actually being pressed. I just want to send a simple set of keys like "QQ".
How I would do this through iLogic? Even if it is an improper method of programming
Since installing Creative Cloud a few weeks ago, I have had a persistent issue. I use a keystoke on a selected object (such as an arrow nudge) and the object will not move. Then I look at a field in a Panel or the Control bar and the arrow has started affecting the field value instead of the selected object. It's important to note that I have clearly selected the object. Anything entered in a field has been confirmed with the Enter key. Today, I highlighted a numeral "1" in a line of type on my page, typed a "2" and the number got entered in the Paragraph Panel! This kind of thing keeps happening over and over. Quitting and restarting Illustrator works for a while.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a data grid view with all alignments included in the drawing file. If I choose an alignment in data grid view, I have Id of that alignment.
I have a button, and I would like that if i press that button then selects that alignment in the drawing(graphic). I would like that there was only one object selected, and if there are more selected objects before,then un-selected them.
I have seen in internet, the code snipset:
"Autodesk.Autocad.Internal.Utils.SelectObjects(objectId[ ] Ids)"
Is it obligatory that objectId be able a List or array?
and
"Editor,SetImpliedSelection"
But I don´t understand them. Are there any full samples about his?

I tried to place the text ABCDE inside of one rectangle (drawn by polyline), in such a way that, the text should be exactly at "Middle Centre" of that rectangle.
I could achieve this 90% purely by my own judgment.
Even when, I tried to draw a rectangle just to touch all 4 sides vertices of the text ABCDE, I could not get any OSNAP points on the text to start a line. Can we treat a "Text" object the way we deal with any other geometrical object - Rectangle, Square, Circle, Triangle or Ellipse?
I have recently began using Windows 7 speech recognition with my Photoshop elements 10 software. It works wonderful. Now that I have all of my "routine" tasks with verbal commands I can focus on what I am drawing rather than spending much time clicking menus and tapping keys :-) I would like to expand my verbal commands to be able to set the options in all of the "option tools menus" and it would be great to pick items from the drop-down menus.

I don't want to spend the time drawing a PL over the top of it (its a very complex) then copying that.
I have a problem when i create an alignment with Select Object. The Chainage is not coming properly.
And here i attached the Print screen.
i am trying to get the coordinate value for the current station in the subassemblies.
i found
Autodesk.Civil.Roadway.DatabaseServices.BaseBaseline.StationOffsetElevationToXYZ(ByRef Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d) As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d
but how you get the basebaseline?
in the alignment object there is no convert station to coordinate only coordinate to station. which is useless in this case.

I'm taking a photography class and we're getting a quick lesson in using Lightroom, working on Macs. I'm never used the program before and I use a PC so I'm not familiar with Mac either.
I'm catching on pretty quick, but Im wondering, is there a way to use keystrokes or shortcuts to toggle between the menu items at the top of the screen. The assistants in the class said that on a Mac you can access these menu items with the mouse, but in a PC you use the Alt + a letter and can get to the sub-items with either letters or the arrow keys.
I am unable to coax the Object Scale dialog box to appear. Typing OBJECTSCALE and invoking the Add/Delete Scales command via Annotate on the ribbon do nothing. I looked in the CUI and everything appears normal with the command and macro. I have attempted to see if the box was just off screen, but when I hit Alt+Spacebar, the main Autocad menu highlights, as if the Annotative Object Scale dialog box is not even open. I have lost dialog boxes off screen before, so I don't thing that is the issue. I have done a Repair and an update to the latest service pack.
I am running Autocad 2010 LT on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with 8MB memory. I have FILEDIA = 1, CMDDIA = 1, and ATTDIA = 1.
I have not done a complete reinstall due to the pain of updating all of my settings, but I guess that is a last resort if I cannot figure out how to get the dialog box to show up.
I am transforming water system components from Autocad dwg files (created in Civil 3d 2013 I think) to a personal (or file) geodatabase in ArcGIS 10.1. I am not familair with using Civil 3d.
I would like to know if there is some way I can export (as ESRI shapefile) AECC alignment objects (waterlines) as lines/polylines and preserve associated data (flow direction and station label info) as field attributes associated with the lines/polylines. I am not sure if there is elevation data associated with the alignments, but would want to preserve that data too if it is available.

I am working on creating an alignment from a single polyline. The polyline, which was originally created in Carlson 2012, is a flat polyline that is about 1200 feet in length. When I select it with create alignment from object, it accepts it and seems to work. For some reason though, the stationing is way off --- e.g. the true 50' mark is showing up as 0+04.17 which results in an end station of 0+99.31 on a 1191' polyline.
edit> I also have tried this with a brand new polyline I created in civil3d, same issue.
is it possible to get the alignment name which the corridor surface is built from when the surface is being data referenced. in other word no corridor as the middleman.
the way i see it is when corridor suface is referenced, it becomes a regular surface and loses some properties such as parent alignment.
i am still using COM. maybe .net can do it? either way works.

Where do I find the PI data of an alignment object to plug into a mtext Field?
Field Category and Field Name and any other steps to locating it would be useful.
I have a problem: when i scale objects (even if I do a proportional scale clicking "Shift" button), the program automatically modify the alignment and the form of the object. for example if i scale a "stickman" which is completely symmetric, finally I have a figure with arms of different dimensions and proportions. Im using the cs5
The problem is not about the stroke dimension, is the path that is modified.
im using civil 3d 2012 when I click the DEFINE OBJECT DATA icon the dialog box is not appear I don't know if I did wrong on my software.
