I have encountered this before as well, or at least similar.
We would open the drawing on one computer, and the dimensions would all show up as fractional. Opening the exact same file (no changes, saves, etc... NOTHING done to change the file) on another computer, half the dimensions would...
flight,
I've seen the file, and other similar to it, and have acknowledged that it is a minuscule amount of variance. When you're dealing with the width of a galaxy, what does a couple meters difference make? Depending on how close you may be to a gravity well, things may become distorted and...
IFR,
Guessing that you meant 0.0310001? If so, then yes.
However, I lengthened the standoff leg just to see, and tried it with .310001 as well. Still gives the same result.
Spar, powers that be have, well... lets just say uploading might be more headaches than I want today, due to the levels of proprietary data to try and strip out and our resident security gurus... I do appreciate the time though.
Interesting read 3dDave, I'd never thought through it that far...
Spar, I'll clean out info that I can't send, and see if the file still does it. If so, I'll post shortly.
IFR, I thought about that, and even moved it to 0,0. All components at zero Z elevation, still recreated error.
Thanks for the response Spar, sorry I didn't include the info to start with...
Tried it in a block, still happened. Copyclip to a new file twice... First one didn't do it, second one did repeat the error.
However, did find out that in the original file, if I did a TTR circle, trimmed it all...
Haven't encountered this one before, but have tried it in 2 versions of autocad, on two different machines:
Have a screw boss on an extrusion that is on a standoff leg from the interior face. Inner and outer surfaces of screw boss are concentric. Distance in autocad shows both X and Y...
As stated above, motivation drives a lot of it. I don't by any means type "correctly", but CAN type reasonably quickly. When I first started typing, online access was a dial-up modem, and ISP's charged by minutes connected. That was a lot of motivation there, and it got quite expensive if I...
From my chair, it would boil down to a couple simple questions:
If I'm unhappy now, do I see it getting any better in the near future, or long term?
Can bills / household budget be comfortably (or not-so comfortably) covered by what the new position would offer? Balance that against the level...
If it was me, I would probably write a script file that would change all the colors to 7. Depending on how things are done, you would either do that by changing the color on all the layers to 7 (if objects are set to BYLAYER), or needing to select all the objects and forcing the color of the...
First, I am NOT a Mathcad user, so can't speak to the direct functionality of it, however...
At my last employer, I did a lot of the IT / computer troubleshooting, and I would say easily 50% of all problems were related to Mathcad (remainder which includes hardware, networking, and all other...
Our company is looking into replacing our outdated plotter, and while we don't use it a lot, it has definitely covered the ROI multiple times.
We typically print 24" or 36" wide, so wouldn't want to go below a 36" roll feed. Don't do hundreds of prints a month, but (if we had a more reliable...
There are a few sites that I've had success pulling from, but I've never been a big fan of cross posting sites and then having someone run into a horrible experience (I pointed someone to a website that unbeknownst to me, had recently been compromised, and caused all sorts of fun. Still felt...
Spar,
That's actually how we've been doing it so far... Broken views is a good way to explain that, and although it's been tedious, it's worked ok for us. The goal at this point, due to "requests" by management, is to find a way to do a single view, that mimics the look of the broken views...
Appreciate the input, see responses below:
dik,
For the dim associativity, (0, 1, 2) - The results we get are:
0 = (Non-associative) Come in exploded. Number reads correct, and we can then stretch as we're trying to, but the arrowheads, extension lines, etc, are all loose parts, makes a mess...
Have tried to find a lisp, or simple way to do this, other than exploding or typing text. No luck so far...
What we're trying to do, is put a dimension on a object that reads true-to-scale as a "fixed" number, and then be able to stretch the object down to a more "compressed" visual...
Have a previous post where I touched on this, but have used it a lot more, so different questions added in this time, but still some of the previous as well.
Is there a setting that will change the "new-upgraded-better" dimension workflow back to how older (say... 2016 for instance) used to...
I had something similar to this before, and ended up needing to find a workaround. Autocad would only return the x,y locations of the nested blocks, as related to the 0,0 of the block they were in.
There were a couple different ways I managed to get the info we needed.
First, what I ended up...
