CadTools General / Re: "Run-Time Error '13': Type mismatch"
« Last post by Sounddriver on April 06, 2023, 07:13:36 AM »
Good morning Lars!
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately the form closes immediately and that also with an empty drawing.
But the tip with the position marker sounds promising. Could it be that I have entered a "," instead of "." and then closed the form?
Is there a possibility to reset the settings? Our IT department always takes a long time for updates and installations ;-)

Hi,

Probably one of the settings that's not stored as preferred type. Using the portable version doesn't store setting in same place. Probably that's why that version working. Does the form shows up after the error dialog? If so check the size of the position marker.

Try it on a another drawing, could be something with the layers.

CadTools General / "Run-Time Error '13': Type mismatch"
« Last post by Sounddriver on April 05, 2023, 10:41:19 AM »
Hello Lars!
as soon as I click the command "table edit 3D Polyline" I get the error "Run-Time Error '13': Type mismatch" and your program terminates.

I use the Tools version 1.1.749 and AutoCAD Map 3D 2021.
With the portable version 1.1.736 I get no error and the program runs as expected.

Do you have any idea how I can avoid the error?

Great that it works for you!

I was wrong about the Join function, shame on me forgetting how things work  :-[
Of course it works as you say and it's also described in the helpfile (below).

Join 3D polyline
<Commands>, <Lines>

Joins 3Dpolylines. The first line becomes the master line, lines selected after the first line inherits colors and layer properties.
All lines must have exactly the same coordinates (start point-endpoint) otherwise they will not be joined.

1. yes. On start I use simple lines (3D-lines) - I prepare break lines (for ex edges ditch's bottom). I do it because 3d lines are not quick enough for me
2 Then I do export all lines to 3Dplines
3. 3d-plines join into the chain (selecting by window/crossing works!). But I had problem with bad chain (big mess with duplicates).
Now I've tried do it in the same way (lines3D to plines3D and join 3dpl to chain: I select one first and than all 3dplines by the window) and I got absolutely correct chain.
I will be observe this occurrence, maybe I do sth wrong..
Thank for your answer

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand your question, I'll try to explain what I think.

You have single 2Dlines like a linestring, not connected with each other but having same start-and end coordinates (except first line first vertex an last line last vertex)?

Using "Join 3D Polylines" in CadTools is designed to join two 3DPolylines, nothing more. You can't select a window or a Crossing. You need to select a 3DPolyline and then join element one by one.

As an option you could export all line coordinates to Excel (Using CadTools "Lines, Export polyline Coordinates to Excel"). Remove duplicate vertices in Excel and finally paste the coordinates back into CadTools "Draw from Coordinates" (using Type: Polyline Vertex).

CadTools General / build 757/758, problem with duplicates during creating chain of 3D plines
« Last post by gugle on March 06, 2023, 01:30:15 PM »
build 757/758, problem (zwcad2022):
I have problem when I create 3D plines from the lines. I change prepared the lines (no duplicated!) to 3Dpl. Then I join 3pl-s to one chain, because I need densify it. And then, it turns out that I have made the chain from duplicates (chain 3pl in the loop).
 The problem is probably during processing 3PL into a chain, because when I explode this chain to lines I get duplicates. What can be wrong with this procedure?
I use window to select the entities, when I select by single ent., chain is ok

Hi,

Change "Mode" to Slope" (in the Mode Menu on main form)
You will see two toolbars, the second is what you should use.

  • Check the radiobutton below the Slope% input box. This indicates that you want to annotate the slope between two points.
  • Make sure the button with Z doesn't have a red cross, if so click it once make your pick target elevation of point.
  • Press the fourth button from left (Arrow and letter A)
  • Select first point
  • Select last point
  • Select annotation point

In CadTools Setting, Slope Mode Tab you find some useful setting when using Slope Mode. Show history is very useful to check picked values and slopes.

For more information read the helpfile.
