nanoCAD forum

Hello.

I am a new member. I have changed from Draftsight to Nanocad, and I have a big problem. NormallyI drawing by using X and Y coordinates, this goes fine in Draftsight, but not in Nanocad.

If I f.ex. start a drawing as a square with startingpoint at the left corner in the buttom, at coordinates 50,100 and make the square 80 x 80, there are a fine drawing, but if I try to put a cirkel in the box at position 80,130 and Radius at 5, then the cirkel are placed outside the box, if i try to do it again, the cirkel are placed on different places.

what am I doing wrong?

Hello,
no this problem ! (NC5.0)

Hello.
Thank you for your reply.

As I understand your answer, I can not use the coordinates to draw with.

Hello
you can but when i draw like you, i don't have your problem !
I can't reproduce your problem !

Also you can draw with relative coordinate.
I never draw in absolute coordinate !
sometimes in drawing on topographic plan.

Ok. Thank you for your anwers. I will try the absolute coordinates.

Well, it does not work.

What I want is this: When I f.eks. want make a cirkel in coordinates 50,50 and R=5, then the center Should be at the coordinates 50,50, and if I want to make a neww cirkel with the same center but with a radius at 15 then it should beplaced in the same center. But non of the cirkels are placed with the center at 50,50 they are placed at 2 different places. I have tried to make 5 cirkel at same center, but they are placed in 5 different places.

My aks are, is it not possible to draw direktly by using coordinates.
Are there a setting I need to aktivate.

Yes i understand your question but in my NC that's ok ! i don't have this problem

OK, thank you for your answer

With my NC5.0, draw in relative and absolute coordinates is possible.

Can you attach a file to see on my workstation if I am reproducing the problem?

Hello again and thank you for your patience.

I have now made a simpel drawing, where the left down corner should be in coordinate "50,100" and 3 cirkels, they should have been in coordinate "110,150", but as you see they are placing on 3 different places.

I am rather sure, there are a setting I have missed, or a command I have not understand.

Sincerely
Finn V. Petersen

I have had some troubles to attach, but it succeded in the last message. Sorry.

Strange !
x= -17.1428 Y=47.0758 for your drawing (no 50,100) ...
And multiple red circle 110,150 (different diameter) are placing at the same place in my NC5.0 !

I don't understand ...

Thank you for your answer and pation.

No, It is a mysterium. Maybe I should try to move the question under the FAQ side.

Sincerely
Finn

And with my file, same situation ?

My dialog :
Rectang First corner = 50,100 (left down corner) other corner point = @100,45
Circle First point = 100,50 radius = 25

Hello again.
I have now tryed to download NanoCad Plus, and made a new simpel drawing there, and there it works perfectley. So my solutions are now, that I finish to work with NanoCad and go back to Draftsight.

I will say many thanks you for your answer and interest.

Kindley regard

Hello again.
I have now writing with Nanocad support, they said that the dynamic option are not possible in Nanocad 5.0. But I can use the coordinate command and then in the geometric window changes the coordinate to what I want.

In Nanocad Plus there are a botton in the snapline, by name "DYN" and if I use that, then I can draw in dynamic mode. I hope this option also came Nanocad 5.

Kindley regard
