AutoCAD 2010 :: Cannot Find Drawing On Initialize

Jan 26, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Delete Or Find Rogue Layer In Drawing?

Aug 28, 2012

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

AutoCAD 2010 :: No Longer Copy / Past One Item From One Drawing To Separate Drawing

Dec 10, 2013

Eventually after I copy and paste with the clipboard enough times within one drawing, the ability goes away and I can no longer copy and past one item from one drawing to a separate drawing.  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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Related Drawing Using VBA

May 31, 2013

I'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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Find PGP File?

May 8, 2012

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."

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cannot Find The Specified File

Jun 18, 2012

I am receiving this error whether I am attempting to view a drawing file via the network, via a lotus notes database, or loaded locally.:

"Cannot find the specified drawing file.  Please verify that the file exist"

The Autodesk product I am using is Autodesk 2012 LT (trial)

The operating system is Widows 7 (64 bit)

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

Design Review 2013, 2012, 2011

True view 2013, 2012

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.
