AutoCAD 2010 :: Edit Xref In-Place

Feb 27, 2012

When saving an AutoCAD drawing there is a Thumbnail image saved (if you have the option turn on), but when the command "Edit Xref In-Place" is used there is no Thumbnail image saved. So now when I try to preview any drawing that has been edited through this command there is no longer a thumbnail.

I am using AutoCAD 2012 and the option to save a thumbnail is turned ON.

I am trying edit an Xref in place in a sheet file both through the paper space view port or within the sheet file's model space but receive a pop-up warning that states "Selected Xref Block is NOT editable". Other sheet files are set up the same way and allow edit Xref in-place.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Edit Xref In Place - Purge?

Jan 26, 2012

We have about 300+ dwg's on which somebody edited the 'xref in place'.

This has caused the particular dwg files to expand from  300k to 4mb.

Purging seems to have no effect. Is there any way of reducing the file size on these back to normality?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Edit Xref In Place Run Time

May 10, 2012

I'm getting very long run times to edit x refs in place. Once the exref drawing opens,  sometimes after 2 or three minutes, and I make my edit, It can take ten minuted to close the xref.

Drawing are clean, purged, -purged, recovered audited.  Computer is new workstation and dedicated to CAD only. Very little opportunity for corrupted files.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Xref-in-place And Points Disappear

Aug 7, 2013

Scenario:

1. You have a base map with survey points inserted.
2. You create a sheet, xref the base map, freeze survey points in base map, insert survey points into sheet so they can be manipulated for visual clarity.

Problem:

In sheet drawing, using the edit xref-in-place command to edit base map causes the points to want to be reinserted and in a lot of cases, when the sheet drawing is re-opened, the points are completely gone.

AutoCad :: Edit Dynamic Block In-place

Oct 25, 2011

I use refedit quite a bit to edit blocks in-place, but can't find a way to do this with dynamic blocks without breaking the link to the original definition and creating a new block definition.

Is there a setting I can change, or another way to edit a dynamic block in-place?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Edit Block In Place Redundant Click

Sep 6, 2013

When I edit a block in place, REFEDIT toolbar pops up. This is good.

But why even I clicked "Add to working set" button on the toolbar, it still asks me select "Add" in command line?

Apparently I already selected "Add" button.

Is there a way to skip this command line option?

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2011 Crashes Upon Trying To Insert 3D Block

Feb 3, 2012

I created a number of 3D blocks to be inserted into a 3D model of a building.  I created the blocks in a separate drawing first; i defined them locally, then, when i had them the way i wanted them, I used "wblock" to save all of these blocks to a folder.

I then opened the 3D building model and tried to insert one of my new blocks.  I repeatedly get the following:

"AutoCAD Application has stopped working"

with the following info from microsoft:

"Description:
  Stopped working

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH
  Application Name:    acad.exe
  Application Version:    24.1.208.0
  Application Timestamp:    4dbf9c16
  Fault Module Name:    KERNELBASE.dll
  Fault Module Version:    6.1.7601.17651
  Fault Module Timestamp:    4e21213c
  Exception     e053534f
  Exception Offset:    000000000000cacd
  OS Version:    6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
  Locale ID:    1033"

I have tried repairing my installation of autocad with no improvement.

i tried opening the drawing of the block itself, copying it, and pasting it via the "copybase" command into the other drawing with the same result.

Occasionally, autocad will ask me if i'd like to debug the program (and visual studio opens) -- it mentions a "StackOverflowException" within acad.exe, and also mentioned "windowsbase.dll".

I am using windows 7 pro x64 and autocad 2011.

CPU: intel i7

Graphics: NVidia GeForce GTS 250

8GB DDR3 ram

The autocad error-reporting dialog never gets launched as it is forced to close before this point.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2011 - Electrical Title Block Implementation

Is it better to implement the title block of an electrical drawing in the model space or paper space?  I have a co worker who implements it in the model space as shown below.  On the other hand, I was taught to implement it in the paper space and then bring in the drawing via viewport.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2011 Dynamic Block Moveable Attributes

Jun 10, 2013

I suppose it's a bug, and I wonder how can it be fixed:

If you edit attribute settings in a dynamic block, and put:

Constant: yes

Lock position: no

You can't neither change the position in the Model, nor edit text. I suppose that with this two settings selected the way showed above, one should be able to move the attribute in Model space.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Insert Point Is Different On Drawing Than On Xref

May 4, 2012

I have a drawing where I have placed all of my natural gas piping.  I have all of the annotative blocks set to 3/32"=1'-0" and 1/32"=1'-0" scales.  They are both correctly displayed in this drawing. 

When I xref this drawing into another about half of the 1/32" blocks show up correctly.  The other half are shifted to the right off of the plan.  All of the 3/32" blocks show up correctly.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Slow Jerky Mouse Movement After Accessing Block Editor Or Xref-editing

May 19, 2009

This was originally posted under 2009 - but I have this issue in 2010!

The old post was: Block Editor Posted: Aug 1, 2008 7:01 PM

When I go into block editor, edit the block then close it out. My cursor is really jerky in model space. Especially bad when I go into a command and try to select something. The only way to get rid of the jerkiness is to close auto cad and restart it. Is there anyway to cure this?

I have 2010 and am experiencing this exact same problem. It is intermittent and will sometimes 'go away' after a few minutes. Block editing is definitely related as a cause. I use SDI = 1 predominantly and it seems to be session independent. In other words one drawing session is experiencing the problem but jumping to another concurrent session exhibits no issues.

Task manager shows off the chart 99% plus on process ACAD when it is occurring.

Palette transparency is off globally. I have installed the latest NVidia driver for my Quadro NVS 285 video card. I am running a 3GHz P4 with 4 Gigabytes of ram - Dell Precision 380 workstation. Block Editor background color is default.

Restarting AutoCAD does make it go away - for the moment - but it is soon back. Even closing all tool palettes has no effect.

This does seem to be drawing specific - 2010 seems to be sensitive to something in older drawing blocks - prototype drawings from hotel vendors for instance - most likely inherited from a third party DXF process exhibit the issue heavily - and blocks from these drawings to a lesser degree. I have to constantly purge, audit, and wblock/replace my drawings to keep them clean. My default file type is 2010 which 'seems' to work, but it still happens. Audits show constant drawing errors cropping up, and repeating an audit, shows the same errors until a wblock replace is performed.

AutoCad 3D :: How To Edit Block In A Way Which Removes Original Origin Of Block

May 23, 2013

I use AutoCAD for mac 2013. I'm a interior design student and I have a question regarding editing 3D Blocks which can be downloaded from the web.

If I download a 'free' 3D Block, is it possible to edit the block in a way which removes the 'original origin' of that block?? I have tried exploding the block and redefining it in a wblock file and changing the layer. But I'm not sure if this process has removed the original information which it came from...

If there is a way to remove the origin (that is came from the web).

AutoCad :: Edit Layers In Xref

Oct 7, 2008

AutoCAD 2008.I have read numerous articles saying that AutoCAD has made this feature drawing specific as opposed to an overall setting. What this means is that every drawing you edit layers in a xref, you get pop ups stating that layers have changed. Especially annoying when you are publishing a set of drawings. Does any overall command to turn this nonsense off completely? Or a command that will reconcile the layers automatically without the pop up message?

Any way to just bind a raster image into an autocad drawing, without having it show up in the xref manager?

AutoCad :: Block Counting In LT 2011?

I need a way to count blocks (specifically employees on a production line), and I used to use a "count" lisp command that worked great. I'm thinking that lisp doesn't work in LT. I don't use Acad every day anymore, and I am quickly forgetting many commands and tricks.
