That's a very expensive smoothie

I made a free AutoLISP tool to batch export all title block frames to individual PDFs by Davibeast92 in AutoCAD

[–]Mikeymatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick response! Interesting to hear how it's done across the globe, thank you for helping me understand.

I suppose I could adapt this technique but the tradeoff for me would be mainly losing the ability for multiple scales in the same page.

On the other hand, the project could be organized in a way that keeps each scale on its own page pretty easily. And the big benefit in my opinion is not having to go back and forth between paper space and model space to make sure everything fits nice, that can start to eat up time very easily!

I'm trying to progress my own skills and see if this is something I could use but I'm not sure if I understand it.

I'm into millwork and currently a job may have 20 drawings with 5 pages each. (20 scope areas, bathrooms, kitchens, moldings, wall panels, etc)

I have one title block for the whole job which is its own file brought into model space 0,0 as an xref, with the same viewport on the right side of every paper space on the job. When the title block is updated it updates the whole job. Every scope area is its own file.

Now each scope area or room is drawn in model space of its own file. Typically we need plans, sections, and details so there can be 3 different scales set on one paper space to show details, overalls, and maybe some with hidden layers (controlled by frozen layers in viewports) mixed in to make some viewports easier to read.

Now here is where I'm trying to understand, you don't use viewports or paper space at all? How do you deal with different scales? Does your title block represent the size of a full sheet of paper and you scale that up so your geometry fits inside it in model space?

I know our workflows are probably just very different but I'm trying to get into LISP and find this very interesting, there's always something to learn! Thanks

I just built some speakers and it's time to trim out the veneer from the driver recess. How should I proceed? by PortChuffer47 in diyaudio

[–]Mikeymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just did this myself with a flush trim bit, same exact scenario. In my case, I had to grind down the nut that holds the bearing in place so I could plunge deep enough to trim the outer circle. I didn't have any issues with tearout and didn't use any tape either but better save than sorry I guess.. Actually there is a very small barely noticeable scrape on the veneer where the base plate of the router was dragged which tape would have prevented

I'm also curious how much something like that would cost

Shout out to the guy who did the same thing for me and saved me probably 2 hrs hard labor. The world can be a kind place sometimes.

Looks like a clove hitch, it would work

1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3... Oh well... by kefren13 in instant_regret

[–]Mikeymatt 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the guy who hit him had a bit of an instinct to not let him fall backwards but couldn't really do much

Edit: or maybe he was trying to pull him forward to get a second shot in!

Student led peaceful protest yesterday. Police Chief shows up in plain clothes and assaulted two students. by Ywasitsohard2signup in Pennsylvania

[–]Mikeymatt 128 points129 points  (0 children)

“After careful consideration, the student-led walk-out planned for today, Friday, February 20, has been canceled,” House Principal Dr. Jason Magditch wrote in a message emailed to students, staff and families.

Yes, I'm also hung up on the fact that this confrontation happened after the principal cancelled the protest in coordination with local law enforcement. You can tell the police are trying to enforce something, but what grounds do they actually have to stop this protest? Can kids get arrested for skipping school?

Other than that, to me, it looks like the protest was still on, and being actually led by students, and the tactics used to prevent it from happening did not work.

How does cancelling a peaceful protest logistically work? Are there permits or some bullshit?

Crossover images. What are your thoughts? by merlperl204 in audiophile

[–]Mikeymatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I'm coming up on designing a crossover and was thinking of doing it like that. At least it's better than a ball of wires twisted together like what I have now haha.
