  1. I put a "Point marker" in the middle of the hinge. Selected the object (the gate). Selected transform/replicate. Selected "Reflect" and selected "About a current point", clicked OK. Grabbed the object and tried to rotate and the object selected (the gate). the gate rotates in the middle of the gate object, not around the "point marker". I tried the "Place point" in the middle of the hinge and it doesn't allow me to select "About a current point" if "Reflect" is selected. "About a current point" will only be selected if I use the "point marker". 

  2. I have a detailed top cad view of a fence and I'm using welded hinges to a steel post. I need for the gate that it is connected to hinge to rotate so I can see how far I can open the gate in this drawing based on where the hinge is welded to the post. Not seeing a lot of help anywhere on this.

    The round object in cad view is the hinge. I need the horizontal 1 x 1 square tub and the 2 x 4 attached to rotate around the round hinge. (top view) The yellow horizontal pieces are the dog eared fence slats.

     A link to how this can work would be great.

  3. I create a 3D solid, lets say a bollard. I convert it to a 3D solid. I want to label it as "Footings, Post". 

    I open the "3D solid specification" box. Go to "Label" and go to "Label Layer" and select "Use Custom Layer". Click the drop down list and put this bollard in "Footings, Post" and press "OK".

    Then I go to "Layer Display Options", select the layer I want to display and I uncheck "Fittings, Post" so it doesn't show in the plan. Its still there. 

    Also, when I go back to click on the "bollard" again, it shows at the top of the box as a "3D solid specification". 

     

    I want to create a 3D solid, give it a name in the "Layer sets" (Footings, Post) and be able to check it or uncheck so it will show or not show up in the layer set I am in. 

    I've tried the the little chair, "Convert to symbol" and changed the symbol name and category, still with no luck. Still pops up as a 3D solid.

     

    What am I doing wrong.

  4. I have an ADA sink and toilet that needs to be 18" to center from a wall or other fixture. Usually up against a wall. This is code for commercial applications. Tired of using cad, drawing a line to measure out 18" to center for 30 toilets or sinks.  How can I set the bounding box around the fixture to not allow anything within a specified distance to touch this fixture? See the attached as to what I am talking about.

    Very common question. 

     

    Some searching of the forum first will help many times. 

     

    Or better yet F1 key and launch that help file.

    If I knew what I was looking for I wouldn't be asking now, would I. Smh.
