Rummaan says:. December 20, at PM. Causes: The Polyline has a global width that is set to a thicker lineweight in the drawing. Close the Settings dialog. There are several causes for this behavior, including: Plot lineweights is enabled. Scale lineweights is enabled. Lineweights in the drawing are set to a thick width. The polyline is two or more lines segments or two or more arcs or a combination of lines and arcs.

A polyline can be open or closed. A polyline is a connected sequence of line segments created as a single object. You can create straight line segments, arc segments, or a combination of the two.

Some reasons you may choose to use polylines include the following: Vertices remain joined even after grip editing. Saves selected objects or converts a block to a specified drawing file. People also ask: How to make a polyline in autocad? In , starting with an unselected polyline, I would move my cursor over the segment s I wanted to select, press Ctrl, and click the left mouse button.

The grips associated with that segment would be selected and ready to move. Also, in , selecting a grip and pressing Ctrl will cycle between Stretch, Add a vertex, and Remove a vertex similar to unassociated hatches. Select the object without any commands activated. AutoCAD changed the way many grips worked: It added many more options to polylines. Hold down the Shift key and select more than one grip. Now when you edit the grips, these selected grips will retain their geometric relationships.

The table format is completely different, as it uses separate columns for each unit, and it has been modified to use a CSV file type. This routine allows you to select any number of closed objects in AutoCAD, such as polylines, circles, splines, etc.

The first prompt allows you to filter the selection by entity type, if you like. After you make your selection, a dialog appears with many options for area conversion, precision, and type of output. The first two options also allow you to use fields in the table so that if the closed areas are edited, the area labels in the table will stay in sync. Although there are not a lot of comments in the code, this is a good example of creating a dialog at run time, and how to create fields using LISP.

Longtime and frequent tipster Leonid Nemirovsky explains how to get adjacent hatch patterns in AutoCAD to match by adjusting their origin points. In the hatching dialog box, select 'Click to set new origin,' and select the point you want to match on the other piece of hatching. Now both pieces remain separate, but look like a single piece.

Sometimes you want to clearly identify to different areas. Sometimes you want that difference to be more subtle. Or maybe you don't want the paper copy to look any different. For example, let's say you used two separate hatch patterns to help find an area in square units. If you want them to look the same, or at least to have their patterns aligned, move the hatch origin of one of them until they do line up. The hatch origin is the starting point of the pattern; AutoCAD draws the defined pattern from that point.

If you move the starting point, the rest of the pattern moves with it. This edit just got a lot simpler. Engineering Technician Hayden Clarke sends us a time-saving tip about working with the scale settings for annotative objects in AutoCAD. Then in your Properties box, click on the pull-down list stating 'xxx objects selected.

Next, scroll down the properties list until you see Annotative Scale, and click on it. From here you can add or remove scales, and it will change all objects with annotative properties in the selection. In AutoCAD, annotative objects retain a display size based on how you want them to look on paper. These objects will only be displayed if the viewport scale they are displayed in is assigned to the object. This can be annoying. You don't want to automatically assign every possible scale factor to all of your objects, because that would make it difficult to manage.

Assign only the ones you are using, or at least keep the list small. If you need to change the text or dimensions, hatch patterns, and blocks , just follow the steps given in this tip. Select everything if you want to, then sort them out through the Properties Manager. Once the proper list of object types is provided, scroll down the manager until you get to the Annotative Scale field.

Click the ellipsis to open a window, and edit the list all you need to. Have you ever wanted to pick an object and have a dialog box pop up to tell you the layer?
