Produkt: AutoCAD (allgemeine Hinweise) 
 

Frage: Läßt sich ein einzeiliger Text (DText) in einen Absatztext (MText) umwandeln?

Antwort: AutoCAD kennt hierfür keinen eigenen Befehl. Jedoch verfügen Benutzer der Vollversion mit den Express Tools über das richtige Werkzeug. Geben Sie über die Befehlszeile am einfachsten DTEXT2MTEXT ein und lassen Sie sich führen.

 

Frage: Warum gibt es die Express Tools nicht in deutsch?

Antwort: Das wissen wir leider auch nicht. Aber im Internet gibt es natürlich Abhilfe. Eine in solchen Fällen hilfreiche Seite ist www.cadwiesel.de .

 

Frage: In AutoCAD funktioniert die Entfernen-Taste nicht mehr

Antwort: Die Systemvariable PICKFIRST ist bei Ihnen auf den Wert 0 gerutscht (warum auch immer). Setzen Sie ihn auf den Wert 1 und alles geht wie gewohnt. Auch die Ändern-Befehle zicken dann nicht mehr.
Hintergrund: In der Vor-Windows-Zeit musste man in AutoCAD grundsätzlich einen Befehl angewählt haben, dann die Objekte markieren und anschließend den Befehl ausführen. Die meisten Windows-Progrmame arbeiten anders herum. Daher hat sich AutoCAD angepasst und es gibt die genannte Systemvariable. AutoCAD kann also mehr, wenn der Wert auf 1 steht.

Thema: Copy & Paste

Problem: When you try to copy and paste styles from within the Style Manager, or you use the MVPart Add command, the current AutoCAD® session shuts down and the following error message is displayed:
Unhandled Exception C0000005 (Access Violation Reading 0x0004) at address XXXXXXXXX


If you click OK in the error dialog box, the following error message is displayed:
FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at XXXXXX


Resolution:
These errors occur when the dbconnect routine has been used to associate data contained in an external database table with AutoCAD graphical objects. Attempts to copy and paste styles from within the Style Manager or to use the MVPart Add command both conflict with the ase.arx file, which is demand loaded by drawings in which the dbconnect routine has been used.

Use one of the following methods to avoid this problem:
Rename the ase.arx file. Rename the ase.arx file that resides in the root of the Autodesk Architectural Desktop installation directory to prevent the file from being demand loaded. The conflict with the other routines will be avoided. However, this work-around also disables the dbconnect routine.

Use the WBLOCK command. Use the WBLOCK command to extract the geometry from the affected files into new files. The links to the dbconnect feature will be broken by this procedure and the ase.arx file will no longer be demand loaded when you open the the new file.

Thema: Create a variable width wall

Problem: You want to create a variable width wall endcap style to use with a variable width wall style.

Resolution: Variable width wall endcap styles cannot be created in Autodesk Architectural Desktop and it is recommended that you create multiple wall endcap styles for each of the widths which will be used in your variable width wall style.

For additional information including tips for the creation of wall endcap styles, please refer to TS69147.

Thema: Insert a door into one wall and have it cut a hole in another wall segment

Problem: You want to insert a door into one wall and have it cut a hole in another wall segment. This functionality may be required if there are two walls in close proximity and a door inserted into one of these walls may intersect the second wall.

Resolution: You can create a door that cuts through multiple wall segments by attaching a custom block to the door style and then using it as a subtractive interference condition as outlined in the following procedure:

Create a mass element
1. From the Concept menu, choose Mass Elements > Add Mass Element.
2. In the Add Mass Element dialog box, set the shape as box.
3. Set the width to a value equal to the width of the door, including the frame.
4. Set the depth to a value that will allow the mass element to be large enough to encompass the entire door swing.
5. Set the height to a value equal to the height of the door, including the frame.
6. Insert the mass element. Please note the insertion point is not relevant to the remainder of this process.

Create a block
1. Type Block at the command line.
2. Enter a name for the block.
3. Choose Select Objects and then select the mass element.and press ENTER.
4. Choose Base Point and then select lower left hand corner of the mass element, press ENTER and then choose OK.


Add a custom block to the door style
1. Select the door to be modified, right-click and choose Edit Door Style.
2. In the Door Style Properties dialog box, select the Display Props tab and verify that the display representation is set to plan.
3. Select Door Style as the Property Source, select Attach Override and then choose Edit Display Props.
4. In the Entity Properties dialog box, select the Other tab.
5. In the Custom Block Display section, choose Add.
6. In the Custom Block dialog box, choose Select Block.
7. In the Select A Block dialog box, select the block created in the previous process and choose OK.
8. In the Scaled To Fit section, enable the Width and Height options and choose OK three times.

Configure the custom block to be subtractive
1. From the Design menu, choose Wall Tools > Interference Condition.
2. Type A at the command line to select the Add option.
3. Select the wall in which the door is NOT anchored and press ENTER.
4. Select the door when prompted to select AEC entities to add and press ENTER.
5. Type S at the command line to select the subtractive option and press ENTER to exit the command.

Turn off the display of the custom block
1. Select the door to be modified, right-click and choose Edit Door Style.
2. In the Door Style Properties dialog box, select the Display Props tab and verify that the display representation is set to plan.
3. Select Door Style as the Property Source, select Attach Override and then choose Edit Display Props.
4. In the Entity Properties dialog box, select the Layer/Color/Linetype tab.
5. Locate the component with the same name as the block created in the second process, turn off the display of this component and choose OK twice.

This process has added a custom block that cuts a hole in a second wall in plan view. If you want the same hole to be cut in model view, you will have to add the custom block to this display representation as well.

Problem: In a wall segment along which structural members are positioned, the insertion of a door does not automatically break the structural member.

Resolution:
The product does not automatically break structural members that intersect with door objects, but this can be accomplished through the following procedure:
1. Select the structural member that should have been broken, right-click and click Member Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Structural Member Properties dialog box, click the Location tab.
3. Modify the Z value of the insertion point to be equal to the top of the door frame.
4. On the Dimensions tab, modify the length of the structural member to be equal to its original length, minus the offset applied in step 3.
5. Click OK to accept the changes and close the dialog box.

Note: This example discusses the modification of a column, but the same basic procedure can be applied to beams or braces.

Thema: Create a recessed door in a slab floor

Problem: You want to create a recessed door in a slab floor.

Resolution: In some scenarios, doors are recessed into the floor. If you are using a slab to represent the floor, you need to generate an indentation to accommodate the recessed door. The end result can be accomplished using a mass element as a subtractive object, and then anchoring it to the door as detailed in the following procedures:

Create a mass element:
1. On the Concept menu, click Mass Elements > Add Mass Elements.
2. In the Add Mass Element dialog box, select box as the shape and set the width, depth, and height values.

Note that these values need to accommodate the width of the door as well as the depth of the indentation.

3. Insert the mass element and position it in the area where the recess is required.

Subtract the mass element from the slab
1. On the Design menu, click Slab Tools > Boolean Add/Subtract.
2. When prompted to select a slab, select the slab in which the recess is required.
3. When prompted to select objects, select the mass element created in the previous procedure, and press ENTER.
4. Type s for the Subtractive option and press ENTER.

Anchor the mass element to the door
1. On the Desktop menu, click Anchors > Curve Anchor.
2. On the command line, type at for the Attach Object option and press ENTER.
3. When prompted to select object to be anchored, select the mass element.
4. When prompted to select curve to anchor to, select the door.

Note: It may be necessary to edit the anchor properties of the mass element to restore it to its original position.
