When I try and open a file from the network that another user already has open, I receive the following message:
"Cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the network drive is available and the file exists".
This happens when using Novell Netware. Is there a resolution?
When I start my 'puter up for the first time for the day and I double click a drawing file to open it, without first starting ACAD from the ACAD.exe, it begins to open the file but then says it cannot find it, but it still starts ACAD and opens Drawing 1.
This may be linked to another problem I need an answer to.
I had 2011 C3D installed, uninstalled it, then installed 2012 C3D. Stand alone license.
Now the icons for all dwg files, the one that should show that ACAD is the application that opens it, does not show in windows explorer. See the attachment.
I have done the "file open with ... Always use the selected..." thing with no result. I have also used the repair function on the install disk with no result.
I am cleaning up our company standart blocks and there is a font I want purged/deleted, but I keep getting the message that the font is in use.
I have checked the dimension styles, the multileader styles and cannot find it.
Is there a way to find out where it is being used?
i have gotten a drawing from another user and have managed to purge all of thier layers except for one. I have deleted everything out of the drawing, done "select all" numerous times and deleted, but this layer still won't let itself be deleted. I have made sure it is not the current layer, w blocked the whole drawing etc. There was an ole image in this drawing at some stage, could that have left this horrible layer "25L"???
I hate when i have rogue layers in my files
Is there a way to find the latitude and longitude of a point in an AutoCAD drawing?

Is there any way to add one with its corresponding calculation parameter?
Under the "Style and Standard Editor" Panel i cannot modify it.
The End result is to display a " Symbol after the first Units instead of the in unit (see enclose picture that i manipulated to display the end desired result).
I'm trying to make an ATTDEF (in combination with a circle/reference object) to show coordinates in meters, even though the drawing units are in mm.
The general drawing units may not be changed. I want the output to be 7,453 rather than 7453. Yes, with comma and three decimals.. But how ?
Is it possible to obtain Architectural unit dimensioning (ft and inches) in a metric drawing ?

I am having to put some vendor drawings into company borders and I am having to do it by eye currently (which I really do not like doing). I am just curious if there is some way I can find out the scale of the existing vendor dwg so I can scale the border correctly and accurately.

I need to use the clipboard function because that is the only way of getting an item from one drawing to another.
I have download a clear clipboard function but it doesn't work. Closing CAD and restarting does not reinstate the function.
My Autocad has started a new behavior. When (in Win7) I double-click on a drawing file in Windows Explorer, Autocad opens the drawing file and also starts a new drawing, all in the same session of Autocad. Is there some system variable or Windows variable that controls this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a VBA macro (for Inventor 2010) that would have to work on drawing .idw files that are generated from a given component.So when I have an open assembly document, I want to go through all component occurences and work with the associated drawing.
There's a built in command in Inventor for that, in the context menu, something like "Open drawing" (mine is german, so not sure how it's called in english), which does this. It opens the drawing of the given part. From this I assumed, there must be a reference within each part, that points to the referencing drawing.
But I'm not able to find this information anywhere within the properties/objects of any component.how or where can I get this information out of the components?
how to identify the model associated with a particular PL on a drawing. I'm able to find a PL and write to the header which is cool. But I'm trying to determine the model associated with the BOM pipline so I can get it's P/N iproperty and write that to the PL header.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm doing a program in Visual Basic 2010. In one of the forms I put a button that when clicked must open AutoCAD 2012 and make a drawing in it. The user will decide where to save it.The steps are these:
1. I added the references Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common to the Visual Basic Project. That's OK.
2. I wrote this in the heading of the form's
- Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
-Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common
3. In the event Click of the Button1 I put this:
Dim acadApp As New AcadApplication 'Create an instance of an AutoCAD Application
AcadApp.Application.Visible = True 'Show the instance of the AutoCAD Application
Dim acadDoc As AcadDocument 'Create an intance of an AutoCAD Document
acadDoc = acadApp.Documents.Open("C:Respaldo TesisDibujo2.dwg") 'Open a Document called Dibujo 2
'Draw a line
Dim PT1(2) As Double
[code].....
So i turned off the "command line completion" settings. However, now I have to type in the full command in order to run it. I found that there should be an "acad.pgp" file somewhere in the support paths that will allow me to define command aliases. So i did a complete search of my C: drive for "*.pgp" and the search came up empty; I tried a few different ways and places (trying narrow it down) but couldn't find ANY of these files.
I have the student version of 2012. Does this have something to do with it? I wouldn't think it should because of what it says on the education site: "Important Note :The Autodesk Student Version software incorporates all the functionality of our professional licenses, but includes a print banner making the software inappropriate for professional, commercial, or for-profit purposes."

I have had the same error for multiple Autodesk readers aswell on this same PC including:

I have administrative rights to the profile in question and I have also attempted to use a separate profile but received the same results. All attempts to manually set the file association have liekwise failed. the program will initialize, but the error message returns with no ability to veiw the drawing file(s).
I have also removed/uninstalled all of the above mentioned programs via Autodesk instructions/procedures for proper removal of folders/subfolders/registry entries (HKey local machine and current user) as well as stoping any autodesk program running in task manager.
My next step is to re-image the machine to make the file association stick to an autocad program.
I would like to know how I can find a dimension that's created with the command (with the internal command name) "Create3DLinearDimension".
This command is used to create a linear dimension on a view that has the default dimension type set to "True".
