AutoCAD 2010 :: Converting Image Files To DWG
Nov 11, 2009
I'm doing an internship at school and need to convert alot of .tiff files and .dpf files into drawings. I also experimented with a program that converted the files from raster format into vector format. This is what I've found so far...
Able2Extract – Works very well when it does. Creates everything on 1 layer. Has options to use Autocad 2000 color palette or Autocad 2004 color palette. 2004 palette usual fails. Program works 50% of the time.
Aide PDF to DXF – Worked very well, once. Tried multiple floor plans and it came out chicken scratch.
AutoDWG VectorNow - Terrrrribllleeeeeee.
AlgoLab Raster 2 Vector – Miserable failure.
Any decent programs to convert these files?

I am trying to convert a 2013 ACAD file to ACAD 2010LT but some objects are not viewable in the converted file. I used DWG Truview to convert the 2013 file to 2010LT.

I have designed a letterhead in Ai (CS5). I want to make it a templete for Word 2010.
Currently, I am writing all letters in Ai and making them a PDF. It would be easier in Word.

As an organization, we have opted to go with STB as we have some complicated requirements that CTB doesn't accommodate. The wisdom of that decision is a moot point and I'm aware of the vast array of opinion.
We have a legacy of CTB drawings that occassionally need to be brought forward when projects get resurrected (state government highway designs are prone to getting shelved).
Up to AutoCAD 2009, I've had a VBA routine that performed a few operations on a list of files stored in a text file:
- Open the file
- Convert to STB using "CONVERTPSTYLES" with a specified STB file.
- Run a script to load a layer state file to change the plot styles from Style1, Style2 etc, to their correct named plot styles.
- Manage a recalcitrant layer that refused to play ball.
- Save and close the document
- Get the next file........
This was all fine until 2010 came along with the announcement that VBA was to be phased out. 2010 is OK with the VBA enablers, but now I've got some work to do.
Our organisation's development language is C# and I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition to develop my C# .NET code.
Is there another mechanism than "SendStringToExecute" for sending a command such as convertpstyles to AutoCAD and getting .NET to wait for it to finish before proceeding.
I've got CommandEnded code that handles waiting for MTEXT and DTEXT commands to finish and I've tried constructing a CommandEnded for CONVERTPSTYLES, but it seems to me that commands that throw dialogue boxes such as CONVERTPSTYLESand SCRIPT aren't handled the same way.
I've tried setting FILEDIA to 0 prior to running the CONVERTPSTYLES command, however the message box that CONVERTPSTYLES presents before asking for the STB file appears to be getting in the way.

I'm using the convert to .dgn function of ACAD and I'm getting a message that tells me I can't use the 2D seed file because there are one or more objects not in the Z = 0 plane. There shouldn't be anything not in the Z = 0 plane. I've used the FLATTEN command and all that seems to do is reproduce a block (and the same block every time thats not even part of my object selection). I can't seem to find the object(s) that are not Z = 0 using all methods I can think of. Does the 'NORMAL Z' have something to do with this?

I'm trying to convert a 3D model saved as a .dwg in AutoCAD 2011 to a .stp file using Inventor Fusion Technology Preview. I did it once and it worked perfect. But since, every time I save the .dwg as a .stp in Fusion, it scales the object down to 39% of the original.

I am having an issue with a 3D drawing (xref) with size very large and crashing due to lack of memory. I want to compress it into a 2D layout. How do I compress a 3D drawing into a 2D drawing or something much smaller than the 47 MB it is now?

I created a drawing for a label in AutoCAD. The labels are made on an etching machine that we have and apparently the machine only accepts files in the BMP format. When I convert my drawing to a bitmap (export command), the images that I have in the label drawing (logos etc..) show up in the bitmap with borders around the images. I had set "imageframe" to 1 so I could select them when exporting the drawing. Another on of the images only has the border come in but nothing inside of the border?

I have a bugging problem.
I usually use Inventor to create a model from customer supplied blueprints, and then use the model to get the 2D geometry into
AutoCAD for further processing.
Now, unfortunately Inventor has a pitiful 2D drawing method, where circles and arcs that do not lie exactly on the plane end up as a spline.
They are true arcs and circles and should be true arcs and circles on the 2D view, but aren't.
What I would like to do is turn them into one.
Is there any command or method to do that?
I was hoping that Overkill would work ..... it doesn't.

I was given a .sat file from a third party company. When i pull it into CAD 2011 it comes in as a "body". It views like a wireframe object. I can't slice, subtract, union, etc. when i import it to Navis works it views like wireframe. The problem with this is that i can't run clash detection against this part then.
Any way to convert it to a solid?

I have been sent a DWG floor plan from a firm in South America. The existing file is Type: Decimal and Units to scale: Meters. We need to convert the file to a useable architectural and feet set up. I know that I will need to scale the existing dwg however I am not sure what the exact steps are or what I should scale it by. Should I change the drawing units first and then scale? Or the other way around? Biggest thing I need is the scale factor.

I lost my dimension text on all my drawings when I converted with Windows 7. I did reload the 2010 software from scratch. I am thinking it is some type of .dll file issue or font issue.

I have an aerial ortho image with a world file and a .dwg that is in UTM NAD83 17N and some shapefiles that are LL83.
I know that these shapefiles correspond to the subject area, but right now these are not lining up at all because the shapefiles are in lat and long ie. -73.xx, 48.xxx and the UTM coords are i.e. 4870562.56, 555859.08.
How to do the transformation?I have tried to assign the NAD83 projection to the shapefiles, but they remain in the same lat long coordinate space.

I have to sometimes make files for a router table, water jets, and plasma cutters. Some of the shapes are created from splines and or polylines. Our router program and some of the programs that our vendors use (water jet and plasma cutter) programs that have major trouble with the amount of control points (nodes) that are required to hold that shape as it should be. When I try to remove the nodes in autocad the shape changes.
One of the methods I have to use is to import the DXF file into Corel Draw X3 and remove all the extra nodes that the program will allow me to delete without changing the shape of the item. This works sometimes depending on the program that the vendor is using. I have to do different things for different vendors, and as I said this only works 50 percent of the time, and I will not know if it worked or not, until the vendor starts complaining about open files or not. On one occasion the final product came in from the vendor, and it was a mess, inside corners were blown out in large circles, and outside corners were rounded off into large circles.
The in house router table issue has been overcome, it is the water jet vendors and plasma cutter vendors that we are still having issues with.

I'm used to using AutoCad R14 and just recently had to purchase AutoCad 2010. The printing service that I have to use has to have the drawings in a PDF format and I found out how to make the conversion. However, the lineweights, the linetypes and the linetype scales are all out of wack. I have read about setting up a CBT file, but apparently I'm missing something someplace. I want to plot by color to achieve lineweight. Linetypes and linetype scales are set when the object is drawn, where the default is Continuous and 1 respectively.
