AutoCAD 2010 :: Creating ARG File
Mar 20, 2012I am trying to create a centralized .arg file, so that if I make a change to this default profile all the machines will immediately see the change.
Currently I can only get this to work by importing the new profile, and i can't really ask 40 or so draughtsmen to re import when a change has been made.
AutoCad see's the file but does not update any changes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Creating A New Layer
Feb 17, 2012I am transitioning from ACAD2008LT to ACAD2012 and am having a new problem when trying to create a new layer. I use many layers in my drawings and I set up specific layer naming conventions and use many layer property filters (filtered by layer name - for example, dimension layers named '*-Dim' and a property filter for '*-Dim') to manage the many layers.
In ACAD2008LT you could create a new layer while in a property filter view (in the Layer Properties Manager) and could type in the new layer name from that filtered view. If, after entering the new layer name, it matched the current property filter, it would remain in view, if it did not, it would automatically be moved to the appropriate filter or to the 'All Layers' view. That seems very logical.
In ACAD2012, as soon as I create a new layer while in a property filter view, the default layer name 'layer' does not match the filter parameters (say '*-Dim') and the new layer immediately moves to 'All Layers' before a new name can be entered. I have to then switch filter views back to 'All Layers' and find the new layer now named 'layer' and rename it there, trying to match the desired property filter name.
Am I missing something or is this an intended change from earlier versions? It was really nice to be able to see the layers in the property filter view while creating a new layer with a naming convention that matches that filter. In fact, I often create multiple new layers matching a property filter by copying and pasting similar layer names and just changing a character or two. In ACAD2008LT I could do that all from the appropriate property filter view.

Aug 2, 2012I am using Autocad 2011 and created a dynamic block which turned out fine.
After making a copy of this dynamic block and doing some additions to this new block (added several flip parameters), I found that when I run my mouse over this new block it lags. I have attached the drawing which contains both the blocks. The one on top is the problematic block whereas the bottom one is the one I created first and made a copy of.

Jan 4, 2013I am trying to organize my drawing in model into different viewports for printing purposes. However, in Layout # 1, once I delete an item it also deletes the item in model space. In Layout # 2, can't edit, select, highlight or anything ( I am in Layer 0). How can I fix that ? Basically, I want to create several layouts, each layout will contain a certain section of my drawing in model space then. I am not "layout savvy", trying to get hang of it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Creating A Line Type
Oct 23, 2012I am trying to create a new linetype. It is a simple linetype, made up of a continuous chain of capsules that I've attached here. I understand that linetypes require shape files and line definition files. However, AutoCAD isn't even telling me how to create the shape file(s) I need to begin making the linetype.
The capsule is .12 units long at its widest, and will need to connect end-to-end.

Oct 17, 2012How could I be bringing up the Rename Dialog Box when I am in the Layer Dialog Box creating new layers? It seems to happen from now and again mostly when I go to change the color of the new layer. This shouldn't be an issue but once the box comes up, all my work inside the layer dialog box will be lost when I close it and reopen it.
Doesn't matter if I pick "OK" "CLOSE" or the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the box. Rename command, just what I hit, strike or click that brings it up and hopefully a means to change my CUI so I don't do it anymore.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Creating Block With One Attribute (Elevation)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Importing / Creating Layers From XLS / CSV / LAS File
Feb 10, 2012I want to create a whole load of layers (approx 150) by importing them from a xls spreadsheet into my AutoCAD layer manager. How this is achieved without having to create each layer at a time by manual entry?

However, after saving the amended .las file it would not re import into the layer manager.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Creating Dynamic Block With Scale Action
Apr 17, 2013I am attaching my dynamic block that I am having difficulty finalizing. My goal is to be able to stretch or resize the hvac block, based on the size that is provided to me (ala 24x24, 36x36, 48x72, etc) (Stretch Action), I have that figured out, and I have the symbol in the center that stays centered as the block size changes, (Move Action).
Here is my problem, I want the symbol in the center to stay centered and scale based on a ratio as the overall size gets larger. So for example: if my size is a 24"x24" I want the symbol in the center to be approx 12" dia, but if the size gets up to say 60"x60" I want it to scale accordingly (so it could be like 48" dia), specifically maintaining the size based on the x axis, so if the it gets to a 60x72", I'd like it to still be centered but size according to the 60 width, and not stretch and look awkward. I want the center symbol to scale and stay centered in the rectangle as I scale the size.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Creating Read Only File When Attempting To Save?

AutoCad :: 2010 And Creating Tables And Linking To Excel Spreadsheet
Jul 9, 2012I've previously used Autocad 2008 Electrical. I've just started a new job and I have been asked to update some electrical drawings from a recent project. My current employer use Autocad 2010 as opposed to Autocad Electrical which I have previously used.
The problem I have is that I have a drawing with a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet that displays an I/O table.
Since the drawings have changed the amount I/O has increased.
I have a new excel sheet with the new I/O list which is larger than the old I/O list.
When I "point" the Table to look at the new spreadsheet in the "Modify Excel Link" Dialogue and alter the "Link to Range" Tab to my new desired excel sheet and apply the changes the table. The new excel sheet populates the table correctly until the end of the old table used to stop then the format goes all to hell and the new part of the table is way out of scale and at 90 degrees out to the original table.
I think I am possibly missing a step somehwere when updating the Data Table Links!?!?....Do I need to alter the table properties somewhere too?.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatch Creating Error In DWG File - Lines Disappearing
Nov 8, 2012We are using a file created by another company and making additions to it for Interiors. While working in this file we have added some new layers and have begun to hatch new walls. While hatching some of these wall my boss received a message saying that the file had errors. He saved and closed the file at that point. When he re-opened the file a number of lines were missing from the file.
They appear to be completely random - i.e. parts of chairs are missing but not the whole chair, parts of walls but not whole walls. The things missing were not all on the same layer and were not necessarily items that had been hatched.
Note - we are running 2012 and the files were created in 2007

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Creating Column Bubble Block That Have Attribute And Both Be Annotative
Sep 22, 2011I'm having an issue with creating a column bubble block that would have an attribute and both be annotative.
I've created a 3/8" dia circle with 3/16" text and the text is NOT annotative. The bottom of the circle is at 0,0 with the text justification at MC
I create the block of the circle and text and make it annotative and save
When I insert it into another drawing, the block inserts properly and scales as desired. The issue is when inserted, I'm NOT given the option to fill in the column # attribute. I can double click and enter text, but this should happen during insertion.
When I create the block, if I do NOT select the attribute as part of the block, I am given the option for the attribute during insertion but it does not scale automatically.
What am I doing wrong? I'm attaching my block as an example.
