AutoCAD 2010 :: Creation Of Tmp Files
Nov 13, 2013
We are currently using a networked Autocad 2012 Deployment. As each person opens the Autocad session, several "tmp" files are created in the "G:AutoCAD Support2012SupportToolPalette" directory. They remain when the session is closed and then several MORE are created. The directory itself is write protected for most users (engineers, etc) but open for the Drafstmen to be able to create new entries. I can see why they arent deleted becasue of this, but why are they thrown in there in the first place?
We had over 65,000 tmp listings this AM after examining all the directories associated with Autocad because ALL users were having problems opening and closing Autocad such as 3-4 minutes to open the app, and several minutes to close. Once they were deleted, Acad ran normally and no lags were detected.

acad 2012 is creating ghost files on my desktop. How do I stop the creation of them?The files are greyed out and are titled "Drawing2.dwl2".
I remember having this annoyance, for me at least, a year or so ago but don't remember how I made them disappear.

I am working at an engineering firm. I have had to basically redraw all the openings since our clients seem to be using wipe out blocks for their doors and windows. Well I want to make a beam lisp that will ask the user to click an insert point, width, and angle then draw an appropriate wipe out block with a dashed line down the center to represent our beam then rotate it into place.

I was attempting to hatch a simple closed polyline when all of sudden AutoCad had to pull a stunt and give me the FATAL ERROR shut down. When I recovered my drawing, it automatically launched the hatch creation window..just as i left it. However, nothing works. I can't hatch anything, and I can't close the hatch editor ribbon. If i try to select an area to hatch, it lets me select it, but then glitches out and asks me for a base point to move something. I've tried everything, DPLGMODE set to 1, save as, close, shut down, etc..

I have Inventor Series 2011 and regarding my AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 have it updated to Version 3 (Product Version: E.208.0.0).
I am trying to work on some drawing in my AutoCAD and all the sudden the Hatch Creation Ribbon has decide it is going to rule the day. All day, and likely tomorrow too. I am not working on any hatches but why it has popped up. And it WILL NOT CLOSE! If I select the “Close Hatch Creation” panel button on the ribbon, it simply executes the last command that was ran. So, I figure I just close down the drawing and close then restart AutoCAD and I should be good to go. Nope. Reboot the computer. Nope. Soon as I fire AutoCAD back up and open any of my drawings.

Our company just upgraded to AutoCad 2011. We get files from our clients that exports their files from revit. It seems that Autocad 2011 slows down when reading this files (cursor will have a second or two delay).

I have loads of dwgs made by a former employee at another site that have our company logo in the tile block. I need to replace the company logo with a new one. If it were not made from a dwt, I could change the .dwg file and just reinsert the block and let it redefine the block, done. But since all of the text in each drawing was input using a template, I cannot do this without losing all of that data. We are not permitted to explode the title block, delete the old logo & add a new one as the drawing format needs to remain as one entity. Is there a way to automatically update these dwgs without re-entering all of the title/revision block text on every drawing?

Is it possible to plot using a few different .ctb files? For example can I assign one .ctb file to the landscape xref drawing and another .ctb file to the architectural xref drawing and a third .ctb file to the civil xref drawings? It has been very time consuming to coordinate all the separate drawings to use one .ctb file.

started a new job after being out of the biz for a couple of years and would like to load some sweet dvb files that I grew accustomed to in my prior life. I can appload my .lsp files with the the best of them but these dang dvb's have me wishin' they were .lsp! The dvb's were at one time lisp routines but were turned into dvbs by a power user somewhere along the line. What's my avenue for success at ever getting to use these sweeties again?

Today my company's server went down. We are operating from a remote backup. Whenever I try to plot, our .ctb files are missing from the plot styles drop-down.
I have located the directory to place them there and the "real" Plot Style Manager folder contains the files. Interestingly, when I go to adjust the files in ACAD, it erroneously directs me to my computer's "Documents" folder. It seems clear it is being mis-directed since it cannot access the Server. Believing it'd recognize the files in the Documents folder, I placed the .ctb file there. ACAD still did not find the .ctb.
I have also ensured the plot settings in the Options menu is set to "Plot to color dependent styles." (Rather than .stb)
It is clear to me this issue is resulting from a lack of communication to the server.

When plotting some files to pdf using the "dwg to pdf" as well as the "adobe pdf" some of the lines show two different lineweights. Some of the text displays two lineweights as well. It does not seem to happen with all drawings. The adobe version is better than the dwg to pdf but still not as good as plotting directly to the plotter from acad.

See attached PDF
This recently started happening to my bak files. They are no longer just ".bak" they have these numbers and underscores added to them. Just thought it was a one time deal. I was wrong. Now it is happening to almost every file i touch. Not only is it creating about 7 of them, now these numerical jumbled bak files are appearing in folders where they do not pertain.
Note: I call them "spam bak files" because when i delete them and resave my drawing, they save as a regular bak file.

I am trying to convert old DGN files to DWG's. When I import the dgn it wants the new exref path. for these I do not have the path so I have to hit cancel. Can I turn that off so I don't get the dialog box? I turned off the demand load xrefs thing but it didn't change anything.

I am running AutoCAD 2000 ( I know it's older than most users out there... but good enough for me) and have received 3 dwg files (floor plans) that were exported from VectorWorks (newer version) yesterday. My issue is that these files have been exported to a newer format than my ACAD2000 is able to open and I really need to be able to get at these to be able to work on them.
Willing to open these 3 floor plans in ACAD2012 and save them as an ACAD2000 file format...

In older versions of AutoCAD it was impossible to open two files simultaneously. I think it was added in later versions. Now I am using AutoCAD 2010 but I don't know if I can open two files and shift between them. If it is possible, how can I do that?
As a second question in the same subject, is it possible to copy objects from one file to another?

I have 100 .dwg files that I need to convert to .pdf file type.For obvious reasons, I do not want to do this one by one.Is there a way to do this, using only AutoCAD 2010?
Simply saying to 'batch plot', use 'publish' or 'change a setting' does not work. I would like to know, step by step, exactly how to do it. If there is not a way to do this, or the way to do it is extremely complex, any Autodesk program that does it or a free program.

I am having a problem with pltting files to pdf that contain a pdf underlay. When I do this, the pdf underlay part comes out fuzzy and unreadable. If I plot to paper, everything is fine.
I am using the standard pdf plotter and my own ctb file. Autocad 2012 and Adobe Acrobat x standard.
I didn't have this issue at my last employment with autocad c3d 2010 and acrobat 9 pro

How to fix the “page setup” for all "new" dwg files?
I couldn’t know how we could customize the default plot dialogue settings that the AutoCAD provides as we click the “Plot” command.
For example, each time I start with a new dwg file and click “plot” then I got some default settings.
Then how the settings of the “plot” command can be customized such that as we start with a new dwg file then the customized settings appear?

I suddenly am having a problem viewing underlays. It happens with PDF Files and DWF Files. When I insert the file nothing is displayed. I dont see a frame or an image. All I get is a point. When I select the point the underlay ribbon bar comes up. I have the show underlay selected. The Fade is Set to 0, In properties I can the layer is set to 0, but under view the height and width is all 0.00000.
I am running straight Autocad 2012 w/ SP1. Its 64 bit on Windows 7.
