Can anyone tell me what type of entity the layout tabs are? I am trying to write a quick lisp program to delete all layout tabs other than the current/model tab, but I'm not sure how to get the entity info so they can be deleted. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm writing a lisp program to auto-gen drawings. It gets a few dimensions from the user, switches to ms & draws the part, then switches to ps & inserts an autoscaled viewport. I want to then dimension it in ps, but to do that I need the center point of the circle (in ms) and the viewport scale...
Ok, I am trying to place some linear dimensions in my lisp program, and everything works fine until it has to set the dimension position. My code looks like this:
(setvar "CLAYER" "T")
(command "DIMSTYLE" "R" "standard")
(setvar "DIMDEC" 3)
(setvar "DIMATFIT" 3)
(setvar "DIMUPT" 1)
(setvar...
I've figured out how to calculate the info I want by the use of a lisp file, but I can't get the info I want onto the drawing. I was planning on using a field to display a user variable (have the code written and all), but none of the user variables are available for display, and when I enter...
Is it possible to have autocad calculate a formula and put the result in an auto updating field? Something like this:
x = 200
(something that is able to be updated easily like a block attribute, or...)
auto updating field = x*2 => auto updates and shows "400"
I just want to be able to have a...
Many of the projects I'm currently working on have thousands of small cylinders(ø1.5mm .5mm high, with even smaller cylinders on top of them). My current system is really struggling with handling this many features. I'm currently running a Dell Precision 370 with a P4 2.8, 3.25GB ram, and an ATI...
Is it possible to create a custom dimension style in Solidworks? We currently have to alter the dimension in order to display the needed info. I would like a format that would include the measured dim, a scale factor, and the dim multiplied by the scale factor. Ideally this would be a style...
I've been working on a project in Solidworks 2005, but our customer is using 2004. Is it possible to save the files as a 2004 file type? Anyone have any ideas?
We are currently running SW2004 SP3 on two computers and have the upgrade cds for SW2005, but I have some concerns with the upgrade.
The first system is a Dell Precision @ 2.6GHz w/1GB ram and a QuadroFX 500 128MB. The second system is Dell laptop @ 1.6GHz w/1GB ram and a GF MX440 64MB. I...
I am currently working with some sheetmetal parts which need to be exported/saved as a dxf in order for us to convert them to nc code. The current method I have been using is to open up a blank drawing file, place the flat pattern view, and save it as a dxf. Note that this dxf drawing is for nc...
