i work with multiple screens. 1 is my main screen (laptop), 2 is a side monitor (much bigger than laptop) and wireless keyboard. i work on autocad 2012 on screen 2. i've recently switched screen 2 as being the main screen (start button, etc). now, a bunch of my pop-up windows disappear and i can't find them unless i change my display screen back to screen 1. is there a way to make sure that all of the pop-up windows show up on the working screen (or screen 2), or the screen where the autocad software is displayed?
I have installed Inventor 2014 and Revit 2014 on to Windows 8.1 64 Bit.The install went fine.
The only problem I have struck is that for instant if I create a new Assembly and want to open the Content Center from Assemble - Place - Place from Content Center. Nothing happens when I go through this path way, there's no error, you know it's trying as the harddrive light is flashing away rapidly for a few minutes each time you ask for it to open.
What I have tired so far is to install service pack 1 and update 1 to service pack 1, neither have made a difference.
inventor 2013 content center won't install in windows 7. Tried everything, used to work in winxp64.I work for Imaginary Menagerie Managers of Imaginary Menageries. You can't imagine how long I've been there.
I've just used the Sync Center in Windows for the first time. Basically I syncronised an Inventor project that resides on a server with my laptop so I could go into the field. All seemed to work well until I returned back to the office and performed the sync again. For some reason now all of my projects don't appear in the projects list.
Sync Center and Inventor. Should I be looking at Vault. Can it do syncronising better than the Sync Center shipped with Windows?

I recently loaded several versions of AutoCAD on to a Windows 7 machine. ALL versions will open a drawing if double-clicked from windows explorer, but if I try to open through AutoCAD, the program freezes as soon as I click on the "Open" button. This is true for AutoCAD 2010 through 2012.

I also cannot open multiple instances of ANY version of AutoCAD in Windows 7.
I try to load AutoCAD 2010 on windows 7 but it keeps on failing Language Pack - English failed installation aborted, Result 1624 so it rolls back and doesn't install.
Whilst working in photoshop, the help center opens itself up multiple times, spawning windows accross my toolbar faster than i can close them. When this has occured in the past (rarely), ive just closed the psd i'm working on at it stops. However today, its gone crazy, opening 50+ blank help center windows and it wont stop!
I tried to install the trial version of cs3 from the adobe website, but after I installed the setup part and started downloading the actual program, it said it downloaded 1 shared component but it couldn't download the actual CS3 program.
My computer says I'm using:
Quote:
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2
I'm not sure what the download problem was, I checked Adobe's troubleshooting page
P.S. - If CS3 isn't compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition, is Photoshop CS2? I had CS2 on my old computer, which was one of the Windows XP (can't remember which one, but it had service pack 2) but I would like to download CS2 or preferrably CS3 on my new computer.
in the header but it doesn't work for me. the loader is loading on the left of the browser window (full screen width is 1920) while the stage is loading in the center of the browser window. My stage size is 800x600. I tried including that in the css above but that didn't work either.
Plotting to layout (as opposed to extents or window) is infuriating. I cannot get my drawing to center properly within the printable area, and I can find no consistency on how AutoCAD is offsetting my drawing. My titleblock is drawn with a trim line of 22x34". I choose the ANSI D sheet size which is 22x34" and when I preview the plot the bottom left corner is offset from the bottom left corner of the printable area by .25, .25.
If I delete the 22x34 trim line from my titbleblock and replace it with a simple point at the 0, 0 bottom left corner, then when I check the layout and printable area, the point shows up offset from the bottom left corner of the printable area by .0006, .0016. Why is it any different than when a line was drawn? If I delete the point the offset from the bottom left corner of the printable area to the closest drawn element then becomes .0013, .0012.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I want to batch plot and I want to have proper margins, but it seems nothing renders consistently and I am stuck with ill-formatted plots. I would love to batch plot to extents, but as I go through the setup, that is not an option for me, so I appear to be stuck with the layout, which I have never gotten to work properly since it was introduced. What is the trick to make it work?
I am just printing to Adobe PDF with the Acrobat printer.

When inserting a jpeg into a drawing is it possible to insert it via it's center point? I am inserting utillity drawings on to an OS background and if i could insert via the center point it would save me a lot of time.
We have both 2012 and 2013 AutoCAD at work, and both versions are having the same problem. When adding favorites in Design Center, it does not show up. The shortcut is actually there if I browse using Windows Explorer, but it does not show up in Design Center. I guess this is some issue where shortcuts do not show up, which is beyond me because that is how the Favorites system is supposed to work.
I should add, this is not an issue on some of our older machines running AutoCAD 2009.
I am trying to bring in a block from the design center and some of the parts that were created as the block are not showing up. If there is a layer setting or another setting in the drawing that I am missing?
I have a drawing with 3 table styles I've saved that I can usually insert into my drawings using design center when I need them. Normally all three come in fine, occasionally only two will come in. I have a drawing that I am trying to insert my table styles into and none of them are inserting! I don't know if there's a setting preventing this command or what.
My design center has the content of my entire computer on it. How do I adjust it so that only the general blocks are present on there, such as doors, plants, etc.?
change all circles of a certain diameter in a .dxf file to points. I received the following lisp file. For the last 10-12 years it has worked great. We create many custom sized parts that could be cut on a plasma (utilizing the circles for holes) or punched, assigning a crosshair tool to the point. Now we are switching to a laser, and want to etch a crosshair at this same location. Our solution has been to draw the crosshair and copy to each required location. Sometimes this may be 20 to 30 locations. Now I would like to know if there is a way to replace all of these circles with a crosshair. This could be a similar lisp file, or an easier manual operation. I know that I can select all of the circles using the filter command and specifying the radius. But I don't know how to assign the 'crosshair' to these locations. (defun c:ctopt ( / ename cnt ss) (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "CIRCLE")))) (if ss (progn (setq cnt 0) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq ename (ssname ss cnt)) (if (equal (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.025 0.005) ;use this line for a radius 0.025 +/- 0.00015 ;(<= (cdr (assoc 40 (entget ename))) 0.05) ;use this line for a radius of 0.05 or less (progn (entmake (list '(0 . "POINT") (assoc 10 (entget ename))(assoc 8 (entget ename)))) (entdel ename) )) (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) ) ) ) (princ) )
I have a problem with autocad 12 when i write command DC "design center" it don't work correct it show me the box but don't expand any drive to select !
We have a dynamic block here at work that has a solid hatch in it. It is a simple block which only utilizes a dropdown menu.
This block is a circle with a solid hatch in it. However when I select the block via dropdown menu, the hatch is not solid, it is a bunch of lines originating from the center of the circle.
I have never had this problem before with this block and nothing has changed with the block.
It also works fine when I open up other drawings.
This tells me that there is a problem with the settings of this specific file but I cannot figure out what setting.
I believe the problem occurred because I brought my work home with me and I have different settings on my autocad (both ACAD 2011).
I've never tried this in AutoCAD before. I would like to create a simple rectangular area with a circle in its center. When this area is hatched, the circle is hollowed out. Furthermore, I'd like to have this to insert into a block for stretch action manipulation. Is this possible with AutoCAD 2010?
design Center - display order goes out the window. The inserted block is redefined but the rest of the drawing loses all its display order. sortents (127, 33, 51, etc) and displayorderctl does nothing, either before or after the block is redefined. hatches and blocks just jump to the front (display order shows as order of drawn not order as moved to) Regenall does nothing.
absolute nightmare with display order managed elevations (solid hatch, baconies, windows, multple buildings, all overlaying!!)
We have installed 35 AutoCAD 2010 on several computers. Some of these machines use Windows XP 32 bit and some are Windows 7 64 bit. We noticed few issues in both OS but here is one important one.On Windows XP user can insert a PDF file into a Cad file - Insert>Raster Image Reference then select the file type as adobe PDF.
Doing the same thing in Windows 7 wont insert a PDF file. The file type is set to "All image files". We type * as a file name and select a PDF file to insert. Result is an error window pop up saying "The file cannot be opened. The problem can be caused by several things:
-The data in the file is corrupted -The file is an earlier format that is no longer supported -The file format is not supported
Since the same version of AutoCAD on Windows XP inserts the same PDF file the none of these causes can be true. Why AutoCAD on windows 7 will not insert a PDF file?
