I need to animate a model in Cinema 4D and save this .max model to a format I can use - either .3ds or fbx or something else..

I have an ilogic rule created to do a save as .dxf and .pdf from the .idw file. It will then open the .ipt file without any issues. The problem I am having is that I also want it to do a save as .stp of the model after it opens the model. I get the following error.
Error in rule: Save As DXF PDF and open, in document: Save As DXF PDF and open.iLogicVb
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))
Do I need to add something to the code?
Here is the code I have written.

ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(strFolder&"_Rev"&iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")&(".dxf") , True)

I've gotten a hold of a bunch of old .3ds models with accompanying texture folder. I've imported the .3ds file into MAX 2011, but it doesn't seem to automatically assign the textures to the mesh the way FBX does. How can I get these files into the new Max with the textures in tact?

I keep getting the error message when I try to open this one project. Everyone else is getting the same message when opening it. It doesn't matter if it is a local file or a detached central file the same message comes up and closes Revit.

ERROR:
Could not save photo.jpg because the file is locked. Use Properties command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
Actions took:
I fully installed all the updates, when unsuccessful, I repaired the installation, when that was unsuccessful, I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop. This was also unsuccessful.
Our photos are on a network share and the user has full access to the folder and files (they are not locked or read only). When I access the photos on a different computer, I can open them, make changes, and then save without any problems. When the affected user does, they get the above error when trying to saveand they have the exact same access as the one that works.
I can save a file as DXF to DWG without opening it in the editor (AutoCAD). when a DWG file is not complicated (see the example code) but would like to be a DXF?
On the other hand in the case of opening a DWG (with no the editor) and store in a last AutoCAD, for example AutoCAD 2000 or AutoCAD 2000 DXF. What should allocate where it says "DwgVersion.".
So I make a few modifications to a part and go to save it and it wants to save it as a DWG??? What is wrong with this? Why would you want to save a 3D Model as a DWG???

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have ilogic code that automatically saves a template Inventor dawing as a job drawing. However the problem I am having is when it does this save it takes forever as it seems to be also saving the linked model also. Is there a way to save this Inventor dwg without saving the linked model? The reason why I do not want this model save is because after the drawing is outputted the user is given options to write part numbers and dxf files if required which requires a model save anyway.
Sample of code used:-
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAsInventorDWG(ThisDoc.Path & "2D_DRAWINGS (Inventor dwg)" & iProperties.Value("Custom", "Drawing No.") & ".DWG", True)
I have a part (partA) and a drawing of it (drawingA).I want to save a copy of both (partB and drawingB) and make changes to partB and drawingB will update.
To do this do I save a copy of partA first to partB and then in drawingA replace part to partB and then save a copy of drawing to drawingB
I have had this problem intermittently for years with different versions and different computers, but this time it is not going away. I need to use the 64 bit version for large files, but it keeps crashing in several different ways.
1- I open the program from the desktop. It shows the spash screen, shows the workspace for a couple of seconds, and then crashes with the message:
Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:Photoshop.exe Application Version:12.1.0.0 Application Timestamp:4d90d339 Fault Module Name:StackHash_8d67 Fault Module Version:0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp:00000000 Exception Code:c0000096 Exception Offset:0000000078e650ac OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID:1033 Additional Information 1:8d67 Additional Information 2:8d672743ada8a2e1e75c51ac7051c8c2 Additional Information 3:354b Additional Information 4:354bf194360e47150cf5d5ca4e71d674
I am using the latest version.My video card drivers are totally up to date.I am using a decent computer with 16 gig of ram.I am opening the program as an administrator.I have reset the prefrences too many times to count by deleting the prefrences and holding down ctrl+alt+shift at startup.
2- If by some wild stretch of the imagination I get the program to start with totally cleared prefrences and running as administrator then the program will crash about 75% of the time when using "Save As".If I try to do anything special like create a new folder to put the file into then the chances of a crash increase greatly.
3- If I try to open up a file from Lightroom, even if the files are opening every other way, Photoshop will crash very often.
What is going on here? I have made no changes to my computer, have not installed any new programs, and, as I stated earlier, have everything updated. I even stopped using plugins a long time ago because I did not want to take the chance that it was going to cause this fragile program to crash, so all plugins are uninstalled. Why does this keep happening? When this has happened before everything will work fine for months and then suddenly I cannot get the program to open. When it does open again, for seemingly as unknown a reason as when it stopped, it will work anywhere from a few minutes to another couple of months.
This seems to be a problem that tons of people have, but I have not been able to find any answer other than "Delete Settings" or "Run as Administrator" or "Update *****." What can I do to keep this from happening and to fix it when it happens?
I need to insert a image to a face to a model and save it as family. And use the created family in projects.
Note: The image should be associated with the family.
All of the sudden, when I go to the pull down menu and click "Save As", instead of the window opening where I can physically choose where I want to save or save over, I get the file directory in the command line. I even typed in the folder directory and it still doesn't save it there. Why the sudden change?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've created a 3D product model in an application that does not have any text capabilities (Autodesk Inventor Fusion 2013). I'm trying to get that model into AfterEffects (AE) via the Photoshop live object technique.
But before I open it in AfterEffects, in Photoshop CS 5.5 Extended, I'm trying to add the product text graphics to the "Diffuse" layer of the model so, when animated in AE, all the text moves with the appropriate perspective, etc.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to format the text to fit the model.
Fusion saves files natively to .DWG format, but they appear non-standard and without some key data.
I was able save the file as a "STEP" file .stp, then translate to .3DS format. That file results in a model that opens just fine in Photoshop and when saved in .psd format, and opened in AE as a Photoshop Live object, works fine. I can't image getting the text on the surface in AE would be easier/better than Photoshop.
Each time I double click on Layer 1's Diffuse (texture) sub-layer (is that the correct term?), I can put some text in the new window, but the scale is always way wrong, the orientaion is 90 degrees off (counter clockwise), and the text is clearly trying to wrap and repeat all around the model. I'm just trying to get a set of text (several pieces in different locations - company name, product name, some small additional text) on one side of the surface bound as if it were part of the model.
As an aside, I did try to add the 3D model, converted to a .DAE file, to presets > meshes as suggested in the help files, so I could treat it like one of the 3D object presets, and add the text that way.
No matter what I do I can't get the mesh to appear in the pre-set list. I don't see any way to "activate" the mesh other than place the file in .DAE format in that folder. Yes, I've exited and re-started Photoshop many times.

View 3 Replies View Relatedway of opening images in CS2 where after opening they will appear in the middle of the CS screen rather then in the top left corner?
I can drag and maximize so they appear in the middle, but on reopening another image they default to the top left again, I would like them to always open in the middle?
My problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.
I then change to my A0 template on a different tab in the same drawing, size up the model in model space within the viewport (everything still fine), then as soon as I scale the model to 1:200 the icons I've added to the drawing (I say icon it's one particular group of icons - CCTV camera icons I've made and added) suddenly become massive and three times the size.
If I add them when already at 1:200 they're fine but it only seems to do this when I actually scale the drawing.
I use autocad architecture 2013 and it works just fine until the save turns to qsave whenever i want to save a drawing by save, save as and ctrl+s it works as qsave..how can I turn it back to SAVE ?

I understand that there is something involved with the UCS but I'm not sure how to get this to work. This may be an issue with my computer as I know my laptop graphics card is pretty rubbish and impacts a lot of 3d programs such as Rhino and SketchUp so this could be the issue here

I am facing problem while using Save / Save As / Save for web options in my Photoshop. On clicking Save / Save As commands, my photoshop gets closed abruptly and I am losing all data.

When I attempt to save a drawing I have completed, I cannot save!
Can't save, save as or any other variation of save.
This is my issue every time I click save.
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.
