custom holes and features

[abelli12]

I exhume this old post to ask if there are (or how to create) macros to create custom commands (in se18) of threaded holes and quarries for brown screws without switching from the classic hole command.
in detail I would like to click on an icon for example "m8" and insert only the thread depth (beyond of course then to place it with the odds in the sketch). .
Thank you.

As for the hole, you can save yourself "presets" to be picked up during the insertion.

for more complex things you can store the features in the " feature library"

Hi.

 

[abelli12]

Thank you! !
I followed your advice using the feature library: it is very convenient!
while for the hole it is not clear how to create and save presets and call them back.
Thanks again.

Thanks again.

In the hole settings you can save what you did by assigning a name.
this will go to create a list of settings to call back to the flight.

on v18, I go to memory, they are saved in a .txt file locally.

Hi.

 

[abelli12]

found! I saved the threaded holes I use most frequently.
I am customizing if18 (on 32-bit pc) to be able to use it more mailed and I would kindly bring two more questions:
1- I noticed that by default there are few colors (color part in the axieme), I have already inserted other colors, but every time I have
recharge them through the organizer; Is there a faster way?
2- very often I have to save the draft in dwg, I set all parameters in the seacad.ini file, but every time I open the dwg
correspondent just saved I find all the lines (especially those hidden covered and those of center) always
with line type scale = 25.4 despite setting such parameter = 1 how could I solve?
Thank you.

as a rule for each new topic a new discussion should be opened; Otherwise a poor man who has your own problem will never find an answer.

move your questions to this.

for your latest requests:

1. create new colors within the files from which you will automatically
2. you have to set the measuring unit from inches to mm

Hi.

 

[abelli12]

You're right, pardon.
I had already set the measuring unit in mm, but I continue to have in dwg "line scale = 25.4"
thanks for the valuable support!

 

[abelli12]

I set the mm measuring unit in the dft style and in the seacad.ini file I set the 1 scale factor (but also putting 1/25.4
It doesn't change anything)... the problem persists. what can depend on?
Thank you.

You should clearly explain what the problem is.

Hi.

 

[abelli12]

the problem is as follows:
created the drafting of the part, I must save it in dwg;
once opened the dwg in autocad, the represented piece consists of lines with scale 25,4
Now for the continuous lines (in view) the problem would not arise, but with the lines of axes and the dotted lines it is evident
the "disproportion" in the sense that they appear as continuous lines!
I hope I've clarified better and managed to solve this annoying problem I've had for a long time.
thanks for the availability.

Hi, so you have the problem when you open the file in autocad. But if you open it with solid edge, how do you find it?
other question: the type of line is scaled to you abnormally,ok; but the overall length of the various segments of the design is correct, or is it also scaled?
If you only have the problem when you reopen the drawings in autocad, it may be that the problem is autocad setting.

At the moment I have no autocad to make a test, but where I worked before we used to spend very often drawings from if to acad and we had no problem.
I attach the configuration file I use (I have version 19, but it will probably work equally) see if it fixes you.

Hi.
View attachment seacad 1.zip

 

[Be_on_edge]

you will not be one of those using solid edge to model and autocad to make the tables hope:4404:

x be_on_edge: centered! boards in autocad but for several reasons.

x apegana: if I open in if everything seems ok. in autocad the overall lengths of the segments are correct, but if you call
line ownership, under the heading "line type scale" appears 25.4 now if set to e.g. at 10 or less the dotted line (hidden)
rightly appears with the lengths of the individual shortest dashes: every time I have to select all hidden and center lines
and change this setting according to the scale of the drawing! otherwise we see lines that seem continuous (over long portraits).
Thank you for the attached file I tried immediately: lines actually appear more "races" but the line type scale always remains 25.4.
I don't know what to think anymore. . .

Thank you.
Hi.

Well, it's clearly an autocad setting problem.

dwg and dxf formats do not have a defined unit within them, but they store lengths as pure numbers; then the real length is rebuilt at the opening of the file, according to the settings of the software that is used, interpreting these numbers with a certain unit of measurement. Obviously the same applies also to line types (I didn't know).
However the 25.4 is a clear clue in this sense, it is not a random number, are confused millimeters with thumbs.

I can't help you anymore, autocad I don't know him enough, but you could take a look at these two links I found on the flight: I think the solution could be there.

x be_on_edge: centered! boards in autocad but for several reasons.

try to make me the list of reasons and I will try to change your way:wink:

 

[abelli12]

the main reasons are that customers expressly require me the file in dwg (because they have autocad and because they want to add/change the drawing directly), add the tearing eyes after a certain time to fix the white background
in draft of if...I could change the color settings, but if I still failed to solve the problem of the previous post that is equally annoying. . .
I also modified some autocad settings, I tried to reset the seacad.ini file step by step but nothing to do, extra if it manages differently the lines hidden from those of center, in fact in autocad (2004) at the first are associated the grips in the second no, therefore every time I must first explode all the lines of axis and center and then rescalate them.
I would like to be able to have a design with the lines proportional to the scale.
Thank you for your patience and availability.

also my customers ask me the drawings in dwg but not for this work with autocad, I limit myself to save in dwg and send the file to finished work.

As for the background color, aside from changing the color as already mentioned by you, I point out how all the software aligned to this solution. not for this must be the best but I wonder. How come on word, excel and all other software white does not bother? and the answer is: habit.

However returning to your problem if you send us some files maybe we can investigate better, but in my opinion it is a problem of autocad settling between paper space and model space and all the ways you use to get the result.

The v18 is quite old, do you have the last sp installed?

Hi.

 

[abelli12]

I finally solved! after numerous tests I found a solution that I describe below for those who might have this problem. (of course it is only one of the possible solutions).
in autocad it is necessary to create a small file lisp in which first the centers explode and then after selecting all entities
with the scalatl command you can set the most suitable scale factor to the global scale of the design.
