Is it at all possible to switch between layout tabs by a command? I'm messing around with a .bat file that creates a script for printing that only prints layout1.
The CAD file I'm trying to print has multiple tabs and all tabs have a different name, Lot 02, Lot 03, Lot 04 (not the standard layout1, layout2, etc).
Switching between each layout tab takes about 23 seconds.
What I know about the drawing:
-using AUDIT reveals no errors in drawing.
-Main drawing = 840 KB
-5 Xrefs total
-each Xref less than 1 MB each
-15 Layout tabs total in main drawing
-LAYOUTREGENCTL set to 0, 1 or 2 has no change on situation
I have just started working with Architecture 2011, so perhaps there is some strange issue at work here, but I haven't come across it previous releases. Whenever I switch from model tab (in 2D wireframe) to a layout tab and then back to model space, the visual style automatically switches itself to "Wireframe" or "3D Parallel Project", instead staying 2D Wireframe. It is highly annoying as I have to hit the 2D Wireframe button on the Visual Style Menu everytime a switch. This also occurs everytime a hit the Save button. It won't stay put in the visual style that it should.

This is the problem i have: I draft my plans in model space as usual, once i finish that, i want to go to the layout tab
where the titleblock is and modify its attributes. When switching, AutoCAD crashes, it allows me to save a recovery file but it closes the program completley.
I have submited the error report to AutoDesk but i have not seen any other comments about it.
issues switching layout tabs by clicking on the tabs?
Occasionally, clicking the Model or other layout tab results in no action, as if I'm not clicking on it.
All other controls (within and external to C3D) function normally so it's not a mouse hardware issue.
It will usually correct itself if I "restore down" the main application window, then maximize it again.
The -layout command is a workaround too.
CIvil 3D 2013 / My drawing opens in layout view and all model objects are appropriately coloured by layer. If I hit plot at this point, my colour dependent .ctb file works fine. However, once I swtich to model view, all my linework turns white and if I switch back to Layout view it remains white and plots each line with the weight assigned to the colour white.

i wanted the water level to go up to the front rows knees or chest and have reflections and ripple filters just as a normal picture with water in it would have. im not sure quite how to do this though.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI’m using 3dMax 201 64 bit.I made kind of a robotic arm and I linked parts together. Then I changed the Pivot on each pieces of the arms.My problem is that sometimes the change I have made on with “Affect Pivot Only” doesn’t apply.I can see the gizmo of the Affect Pivot but the one that works is the original one. I don’t know why it keeps the old pivot active when I changed it. Sometimes, I click on “Affect pivot only” button and the good pivot comes back active. But doesn’t work every time.
How do I make the good pivot active?
I created a straight line using the shift,click method. Now nothing I do will affect it. When it failed to be made invisible by toggling the layer I thought I created it in I systematically went through each layer in the image, turning them visible, invisible in case I lost track of where it was created, but even though those layers became visible/invisible as they should, nothing happened to the line. I tried to create a layer above it to just cover it up, but even though the new layer was on top, the line showed through. Although this line used to be needed it is now essentially a blight on the rest of my image, which is massive. I dread the idea of having to start from scratch. I can't simply erase it because it doesn't seem to be associated with a layer. Originally, the image was created in 2.6, I think (but am not sure) that this is the version I used to make the line, but when I got a new computer I downloaded 2.8, and after this discovered the problem. Everything else works normally, is responsive,etc

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am, using Ai (CS6). I've produced a poster I'm fairly happy with, but black background is affecting red and green type on top of the black...
Possibly one hint towards a solution is that I have one photo with a transparency and the lettering that is on top of that transparency isn't affected by the black background.
The transparency was started by creating a cut-out of a mugshot in Ps CS6, using the magnetic tool, previously creating a transparent background layer.
Anyway, the long and the short is, if a tiff photo transparent background can keep out the black background, how can I create a transparent layer with similar properties.
It seems the Sharpen effect in Premiere Pro CC is not 32-bit, however based on this [URL] , it should not affect the colors. Can we get a confirmation that indeed applying this effect on a 4:2:2 10bit ProRes project will not crush the bit-depth of the colors?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm making a video slideshow for my friend's wedding and I'm trying to use some overlay pics in a couple segments but want the overlay track to dissolve with the main track and can't get it to work for some reason. Specifically I'm trying to make a remote control pop into the bride's hand (I'm using "Grow Old With You" for one of the songs and thought it would be cute during the "even let you hold the remote control" part). Anyway I went through the trouble of creating the remote control object etc. but even though I can drag a transition to the object it doesn't seem to affect it any. Instead it affects the main track.
Here's what happens specifically...I have dissolve applied to both the main track picture (the bride) and the remote control (overlay track)...and the dissolves are set to trigger at the same time. The bride starts to fade but the remote control stays solidly on the screen - and then something weird happens, the object transition effect seems to overwhelm the main transition for a second and the whole screen flicks black for a second and then abruptly goes on to the next slide. If I delete the object transition effect the abrupt black screen thing doesn't happen but the remote control obviously doesn't fade either, which makes the video seem very amateurish. I checked all the edit settings for both the main and overlay tracks and nothing seems to work with this. I can't believe a glitch like this could have existed for this long without Corel fixing it...Right?
I think i may have a 'major' problem, when i do a detach skin, the skeleton is ok but the skin changes size and direction as well as place, i think it's because i resized after the first bind skin, now i'm trying to reset bindpose but doesn't seem to affect the skin, i need to fix this so bad and i feel like i'm between a rock and a hard place, is there a way out of this mesh?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere to reproduce the bug :apply cfx to a clip. Open cfx and add any fx , for example in my test , i use blur. I then right click the blur node and choose 'create cfx'. I select the cfx and render it. exit cfx to timeline. In timeline i copy/paste or duplicate the clip. So now we have 2 identical clip. Bring the duplicate to the desktop and right click and choose flush render. Now the problem that the flush render, i expect, won't affect the master (original) file. But in fact , it will wipe out the render inside the original clip. Now open the original cfx clip and inspect that the cfx node has lost the render file. This is pretty serious problem. In complex cfx, we can accidentally delete render file and need to spend 'expensive' time to re-render.

If I turn the visisbility back on in the .iam the part is now visible in the .idw even thogh I have cleared the "Associtave" box. No matter what I do, I can't clear the assembly out of the .idw even if I go back to the .iam and make it invisible again. This used to work in previous releases.

I have access to a Map of a town. I would like to isolate a certain area of the town and make it bigger on the same page. But not let it link together, that way I can get some demensions in, delete some lines and texts which will not effect the overall map itself. I would just solely like to manipulate the blown up portion.
