1. Autocad Practice Examples

Ah, but the ViewBase command is even trickier. For starters, it assumes that you are going to create at least the three basic orthographic views — front, top, and end —and so it automatically scales the 2D views to suit the page layout sheet size. We’ll have more on this later. Now we want to add a few dimensions, but there isn’t enough room between the views to fit them in.

Jan 11, 2012 We currently have all of our facility drawings in AutoCAD, but we do have Revit Architecture 2012 in house. I realize that converting drawings to Revit can be a huge undertaking. Jul 6, 2012 I have a friend who does drawings on paper that he wants to get scalable. The high-level path appears to be scan the image and run autotrace in AI. As I look at online articles, some suggest taking the raster into PS to erase the pencil marks and ink the image. My friend does the inking on the paper before the scan.

Obviously, we don't want the pencil color to show but more of a bold darkened look so can i just simply darken the piece in photoshop or do i need to make adjustments in illustrator? Sep 25, 2013 A client has asked me if I can give them a.nc file so they can directly input into their cnc machines. I know that I can save an autocad drawing, or objects in a drawing, as a.DXF file.

His inking also leaves quite a bit of variation in line width. What he wants is a constant width. My question is: if you want a line to be of constant width and you have a scanned image to work with, which tool (PS, AI) and what technique is best to create the result.

No problem; simply click anywhere within the top view, then use the little blue square grip to drag it upward a bit. Oops, we forgot to turn Ortho or Polar on — wait a minute, we don’t need to! Orthographic views can only be moved vertically or horizontally, regardless of the Ortho and/or Polar settings! Similarly, moving the base view brings all its ortho children along with it, while isometric views remain independent. Okay, we’ve added a couple of dimensions to the paper space layout, as shown below. For best results with dimensioning I would suggest using Object mode or EndPoint object snaps to attach the dimensions.

These are in the old Microstation J format. Each drawing is divided into a top half and bottom half. The bottom half of the drawing is the actual drawing portion. The top half of the drawing is text that comes out of an Old Oracle database, into Microsoft Word 2000 through mail merge then is copied and pasted into the top portion of the card.

But previously you said it had three More on that later., which is the oldest and simplest. It is still the fastest and easiest for producing a quick-and-dirty view but it has too many limitations if you want to get fancy. Next came the command sequence using the SolView, SolDraw, and SolProf combination, as covered in. This combination is more powerful and versatile than FlatShot but takes a little more effort, and once again has a few limitations and gnarly bits. The Power of Positive Procrastination Time and the Autodesk programmers marched on. In due course they produced the SectionPlane family of commands, which made it much easier to produce 2D drawing and cross-section views. And AutoCAD 2012 introduced yet another series of 3D-to-2D commands, which make it almost trivially easy to produce 2D drawing and section views from solid models.

Oct 3, 2012 Any way to have the file name of a drawing printed somewhere on the drawing when plotting drawings? Jan 24, 2013 I have the school edition of ACAD 11, and we made a template in class, and now whenever I open it from windows, it opens 2 drawings. It did this with my personal computer as well as the school computer I was on at the time.

We would like to be able to transfer the same plot settings to other PCs so that we are all producing the same formatted files. Are the plot settings transferable? Dec 31, 2013 Often i take 3D models and lay them out flat in Sheet Metal. Take the flat layout and convert it to DXF in AutoCAD. I recently came across an issue i haven't seen before and am confused as to how it occurred. I dimension the blanks in Inventor since Inventor is much more user friendly then AutoCAD as far as dimensioning goes.

An ever growing collection. This list of videos and practice drawings is ever increasing with more videos regularly added to the free course and best of all this complete course is free. Dimensioned PDF and DWG Lesson files and videos are available for download with the course too.

You’ll find it on the Ribbon menu > Layout tab > Create View panel > Base button. A layout tab has to be current for the Layout tab to show. A couple of paragraphs back, I bragged that I could create the 2D drawing views of our sample part in under a minute.

It's me, Jaiprakash Pandey I am a mechanical engineer and I have worked with Design, Manufacturing and Training industries but now SourceCAD is my full-time work and I use it to train students all over the world.

I am a regular contributor of AUGI World magazine and apart from SourceCAD I also develop AutoCAD video courses for Pluralsight and other E-Learning businesses.

If we 'Publish to PDF' from a 'Sheet Set', it's a bit better. Jun 7, 2012 I am using AutoCad LT 2006 and I need to save some drawings as a PDF file. I have tried several times using the instructions on the help menu with no luck. Sep 12, 2012 I have to send one of my assemblies to a customer who has Solidworks I believe, so I thought I would just save the assembly as a step file, but when I try to do this it crashes my system probably due to the fact that I have quite a bit of embossing on one particular panel. Any other options? Oct 12, 2011 I am working with Inventor Professional 2012 eduactional institution version here at school.

If this can be automatically updated, that would be awesome. One is the best program to automatically bulk convert the drawings from Microstation J to AutoCAD (I have 2011).

I am attaching a copy of the logo I am trying to convert. Aug 14, 2013 I have been working with an optimization software the exports DXF files to be meant for use in AutoCad. But I am working with Autodesk Revit and the only jobs you can open in Revit are RVT, RFA, RTE and ADSK files.

If you want to learn the basics of Autocad. Try this course activities from Iligan Computer Institute (ICI). Of course, it helps a lot if you enroll in their crash courses. I you think you can do it on your own, read the Autocad 2D and 3D course manual (also from ICI), which I also published here.

One thought is, rather than try to clean up the line in either tool, the better approach might be to draw a new line using the scanned image as a guide. My concern is that the line won't be smooth if done by hand. Jun 4, 2004 how i should convert a hand drawing in photoshop to be print-ready for a t-shirt image. I have a friend who is an artist with impeccable talent and i would like to get some of his designs on a few shirts i plan on making. Here's the deal: he can draw the image with shading or he can create it without (sort of like a vector graphic) but what is the normal procedure as far as getting a hand drawing ready for a shirt image? I haven't had him start yet because i wanted to instruct him first on which route to take.

Sep 12, 2013 I designed artwork for a large banner (84' x 32') so my AI artboard is that large. As you can imagine, with all the text and graphics I used, this file size is 22.8 MB. I need to email this art to the printer, but the file size is too large to email. How do i go about reducing the file size in AI so it still maintains large format print resolution? Will saving to a PDF lose the print quality?

Jan 23, 2012 1 How do I determine what coordinate system a drawing I have received has been prepared in? 2 I know how to export drawings to a.shp file but how can I export this drawing to a.shp file and ensure that coordinate system is maintained or otherwise changed for use in Arch GIS? I have successfully exported the.shp file geometry previously but the cordinates system doesn't seem to match ARCGIS data sets. I am trying to establish is this an Autocad or ArchGis issue I suppose.

Newer drawings done like this and opened in AutoCAD have the top portion identified as an OLE object (embedded object), while the older drawings just look like a drawing in the top. I'm looking to update the system to ArcGIS and AutoCAD.

Two Mississippi • AutoCAD continues asking for view locations. Click above the first view, then to the right of the first view, then approximately in the center of the upper-right quadrant of the layout, then press Enter. Three Mississippi, four Mississippi and stop the clock, which shows that it took just a few seconds to produce the figure below. That’s a bit faster than the 16 steps I outlined in the previous article, isn’t it? With the ViewBase command, it took only four seconds to produce this drawing!

I am attempting to do this by converting the.ssf file, which contains GPS data point information into a DXF file. Then from the DXF file, I tried opening in AutoCadd Lt 2007, but nothing shows up on my screen.

It opens in Inventor but I can't measure it or place it into an IDW to dimension it. Windows 7 x64 -64 GB Ram, Intel Xeon E5-1620 @ 3.6 GHz ATI FirePro V7800 2 GB, 180 GB SSD & 1 TB HDD, Inv R2013 PDS Premium SP2 Update 3 (Build 200), Vault 2013 Workgroup Update 2 (Build 17.2.9.0) Nov 11, 2011 If I use the CAD 'Plot Stamp' while converting a drawing to a PDF file (DWG to PDF), everything works as it should. If I try to print it out on paper, it doesn’t work at all, even though it looks ok in the preview (however, if while in the preview, I try to zoom in on the Plot Stamp to see what's actually written, it disappears). Instead of being 'BR vertical' it's 'BR horizontal', It prints mostly out of the printable area and the text is a smaller size than specified. What's the best way to get a high quality PDF from a DWG?We find the quality from the 'DWG to PDF' printer to be a bit disappointing.

I have attached a wireframe electric motor in.dwg format. Inventor 2012 Sep 27, 2013 After finishing a part in Inventor 2014 a want to store it as a STL file. Thats no problem but when the part is saved as STL it measurement don't add up any more. The STL file becomes a factor 10 smaller. So 50mm ends up as 5mm. So thats a problem. Nov 17, 2012 I wanna print many drawings -beside each other- by one click without repeating plot order, every time I print them it took a lot of time,I know if them in seperate files it more easier than when they in one file.

This month’s topic! Generating 2D working drawings from 3D models! But haven’t you already covered that in two previous columns? Actually, those two columns hardly covered the half of it. AutoCAD in fact has four basic processes for producing 2D drawings from 3D models.

The data will be moved to a Microsoft Access database (probably later SQL Server), and I want to convert all the old Microstation drawings into an AutoCAD format. ArcGIS will provide the basemap and be linked to the database, with clickable hyperlinks to open the AutoCAD drawings. I would like to be able to keep the bottom drawing half while changing the top half of each drawing to reflect updated data in the database.

AutoCad 2D:: Converting PDF Drawings To DWG File Mar 28, 2011 Basically the problem is we have converted a PDF drawings to DWG files. But the created file was very large like 50mb per file. When I tried to look at it in 3D view, it looks like a city. But it is not solids and some lines are made from hatches.

Okay, start the clock! • Having started the ViewBase command, click on From Model Space in the drop-down menu that appears. One Mississippi • AutoCAD asks for a view location. Click approximately in the center of the lower-left quadrant of the drawing, then click eXit in the context menu or press Enter.

With the release of AutoCAD 2017, using the PDFIMPORT command, it is now possible to import PDF content directly into AutoCAD drawings. Lines will become editable geometry and text will become editable text. The accuracy of the resultant AutoCAD content is largely dependent upon the quality of the original PDF, so results may vary. Additionally, PDF underlays in drawings created with previous AutoCAD releases can be converted into editable drawing geometry using the PDFIMPORT command. Using PDFIMPORT with PDFs created from scanned images/documents will result in the creation of a raster image file, which is then attached to the drawing as an xref. The raster imagery will not be converted into editable geometry.
