AutoCAD 2010 :: Create Sheet Set From Existing Drawings?

Apr 24, 2012

I'm attempting to create a sheet set from existing drawings, but when I point the "New Sheet Set Wizard" to the folder containing my 8 or so drawings (with 24 or so associated layouts), only 2 drawings appear with 6 associated layouts for import.  The other layouts don't even show up as being part of another sheet set.  How do I get the New Sheet Set Wizard to "see" the layouts?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Fudging Existing Drawing With New Dimensions To Create Variation?

Jan 21, 2013

I was just asked to take an existing drawing and "fudge" the drawing with new dimensions to create a variation.So I over rode the dimensions and edited the title block date/drawn by.

I replaced the model reference HOWEVER......I have not been able to CHANGE the title or drawing number (despite the fact that the replaced model has the iProperties that I want).

I suspect this is due to the fact that the drawing is set to NOT update (I have red lightning bolt).

Can I get away with doing what I want without recreating the whole drawing?

Dec 22, 2012

I have a slightly unusual query that I can't seem to find a solution for elsewhere. I have an existing OS plan that is 'off grid', and would like to adjust the vertices at the ends of all the existing lines and polylines so that they all sit on a grid point. Is there a quick command or script that does this?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot Styles - Cannot Choose Existing CTB File In Drawing

Apr 29, 2013

I received a drawing today that doesn't allow me to choose existing ".ctb" files.  Opening the "Plot style table (pen assignments)" from the Page Setup dialogue box.  I can choose "Start from scratch" , use a "CFG" file, or "Use a PCP or PC2" file".  I do not have any CFG files.  I usually use PCP in my "Plot" dialogue box for the plotter pull-down menu.

How to use my plot style "BRhalf.ctb" when plotting this drawing.  Also, a "heads-up" on background information on this drawing's plot style options, vs. the plot style options on many other drawings I have plotted.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create All New Existing Surface Over Existing Ground

Sep 28, 2012

I'm trying to create an all new existing surface over existing ground. I have a TIN surface of the EG, and I have drawn overlay splines that describe the new surface, but how to go about creating that design surface.

It is a compound surface, open on one end and closed all around on the other, somewhat like a half of a football stadium, but with an irregular upper edge because I am needing to figure out cuts and fills to manipulate the EG into this new surface without costly major terraforming. There is about 40-50' vertical elevation between the "field" and the upper rim with a generally constant 7-10 deg. slope all around. I'm just at a loss to figure out how to approach this project, and am quite new to Civil 3D.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create PDF-File Of Drawing And STEP Of Connected 3D-File

Apr 11, 2012

I have a script that makes PDF-file with suffix revision. Now I want to expand this script so it even makes a STEP-file of the 3d-file connected to the drawing. This would make all manufacture files in one button. That should be nice..

How will i manage with this since the active document is the drawing not the part. (see code below)

Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Call oDoc.SaveAs("C:UsersGoranWeDesktop est estfile.stp", True)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Preventing PDF Viewer To Open Drawing File When Plotting To PDF File?

Mar 9, 2012

As an engineering company we have started to convert hundreds of our drawings from AutoCAD to PDF using a batch utility.

However every file that is converted into a PDF file is opened by a PDF Viewer. We want to prevent this.

I opened my *.pc3 file and removed the check from the appropriate box. See below

I press OK, then save the file and close. However when I reopen the file, I see the box for Openining in PDF Viewer has been rechecked. No matter what I do, I cannot permanently remove the check from this box.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Create New MTEXT In Drawing - Changing Set Width?

Jun 26, 2012

When I create new mtext in my drawings I normally like to have a zero width.

Instead I'm creating new mtext and it has a set width that I am unable to change in the properties window.

I have no problems with changing the justification point.

Is this a setting that I can change?

Plus is it posible to change the default so that I don't have to worry about changing it every time?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing File Is Not Valid?

Jun 28, 2012

I don't know what happened, but my autocad file doesn't open up with a message "drawing file is not valid". I opened it at home once in Autocad 2012 - Student version and I open it at school usually every other day in Autocad 2012 - Educational version and it opens up properly at both places. But this tuesday I tried to open it, and it didn't open. I really need this file to be recovered because this drawing was complicated and I finished it. So, it will be a real pain to do it all over again plus the time I will waste. I am going to attach that file here.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Print Drawing In PDF File

Feb 19, 2012

Why plotting the drawing in pdf file produces a NOT to scale drawing?

I’m wondering if there is a way to print the drawing in a pdf file such that the drawing scale is kept correct.

For example, I tried to print the drawing shown in the screenshot in 1/100 scale using the Adobe pdf printer, but later, as I printed the pdf file, the printed drawing is not to scale!

Why the pdf file doesn’t keep the scale?

Is there a way to “preserve” the scale while printing the drawing in a pdf file?
