AutoCAD 2010 :: DWGs Fading From One Computer To Another?

Jul 11, 2013

For some reason my co-worker has a problem opening my dwgs. When he opens them, he is seeing some layers fade out---only on the Layout's, not the Model. Everything from my Titleblock, to the actual Drawing inside the viewport.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2012 Locks Up When Opening Old DWGs (No Canvas)

Aug 6, 2011

I just installed 2012 with the Inventor pro suite. when I tried to open multiple dwg's it locked up on certain dwg's and I got the error " no cavas click on new canvas". I read an existing post that said 

"I went into the CUI, current workspace, removed the Sketchbook Designer from showing in the Ribbon"

I could not find this in my cui current workspace and is this the best solution?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Replace Lisp For Multiple DWGs

Mar 8, 2012

I am looking for a lisp that can run a block replace on multiple drawings.

Something similar the the express tools block replace I suppose, just able to process many drawings at once.

I'm trying to change attributed approval stamps to attributed inter squad stamps and don't want to have to go through all 150 drawings and do it myself.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Work On Computer During PUBLISH LT 2012

May 15, 2013

Don't know if I need to check some other setting or this is just the way it is. When I use PUBLISH to plot a set of drawings, I can't do anything else on the computer. If I try to type in any other software, it is interrupted and the cursor moved away from the software. I am able to type maybe a couple letters in any software, then the cursor goes away, put cursor back, type 2 letters, repeat, interrupt, cursor back, 2 letters etc..

AutoCAD 2010 :: Open Multiple Applications In One Computer?

Sep 12, 2012

If i open multiple AutoCAD applications in one computer, am I utilizing two network lincenses?  We have a few network lincenses to share with the whole team.  However, it's more efficient for me and avoid application crashes, I typically open two AutoCAD windows in two monitor (which are connecting to one computer).

Since we don't have enough network lincenses, my company suggest to open only one application per computer only.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Autodesk Content Service Makes Computer Unusable?

Autodesk Content Service makes my computer so slow that it is unusable. I would like to know what this program does and whether I need it or not to run my student programs.

I removed the program using windows uninstall and my computer instantly began to respond again. Running Windows 7 Pro, 1 T 7200 rpm hard drive, 8 gb memory, quad core 775 chip. Nvidia video w/ 1gb memory.

This computer is lightning fast, no jitter or hanging in revit or auto cad until content services was running.

AutoCad :: Hyperlinking To DWGs

Aug 27, 2013

I had a thought of creating a DWT template containing a bunch of hyperlinks to our job/model directory. The philosophy is that you would start your ACAD session and be presented with a series of links (prepared in the DWT) to various job/drawing directories and models. This would make it easy for the use to simply boot up ACAD, and then they are only 1 or 2 clicks away from accessing their job DWG.

For the most part, setting this up has been pretty easy. But I have a few questions as to ways to smooth out the process even further.

1. Is it possible to remove/disable the hyperlink 'open warning' message when trying to access a DWG via a hyperlink?

2. Is it possible to enable single click access to hyperlinks? This template/launcher DWT will be the only drawing in our office to utilise hyrperlinks, and I would like not to need the CTRL+CLICK to access the linked files/folders. This is of course not a huge issue, but I am curious about it.

3. Is it possible to have a text/attribute tag (containing a FIELD) within a BLOCK to display the path/file name of the hyperlink of the BLOCK. ie. the BLOCK will have the hyperlink, rather than the text within the block being linked. I hope that is clear.I will probably have a few more questions as I progress with this project.

AutoCad :: Sharing Read Only DWGs?

Sep 3, 2012

I need to send a drawing to a client but don't want them to be able to edit it, but want them to be able to xref into their drawings.

I have added the dwg to autodesk 360 but it does not show any of the xref files (it has 8 and they are necessary).

I cant seem to work out how to DWF, can you save as dwf in infinite model space or does it always come out as a layout? I would like if I could save it as a dwf and for it to function like a dwg in model space.

AutoCad :: Convert DWGs To TIFF

Apr 14, 2011

I'm new to AutoCAD and scripting in general with AutoCAD and was looking for some insight.

I need to convert DWGs to Tiff. I have about a million sets of a million DWGs and need to convert different sets at different times.

I'd like to write a script or batch plot type utility that will:

Turn off a layer
Choose monochrome
Save as tiff.

I started looking into the raster function, but to be honest, I'm so green at AutoCAD I'm not even sure if that's the correct direction.

AutoCAD .NET :: Standalone Exe To Convert DXFs To DWGs

Jan 3, 2012

I'm developing on a W7 64bit machine  using VS2010 and AutoCAD 2010. Using COM, I've converted a VBA application into an .exe that runs but it is very slow (much slower then the 32bit VBA code used to run). Since we produce a lot of DXFs out of our 3D application, we want the conversion to be automated (hence, no more running inside of AutoCAD).

The current version just references the AutoCAD 2010 Type Library and the AutoCADObjectdbx COMs.For each DXF, the code does the following:

1. Adds new layers

2. Loops thru all entites (currently using a selectionset)

a. Changes the entity's layer based on a collection key and it's linetype to "bylayer"

b. For PolyLines and LWPolyLines, sets the constantwidth to 0

c. For all Text, changes the style to "SIMPLEX", the Scalefactor to 0.7 and looks for a special text value which indicates the drawing scale ("dscale").

3. Sets the drawing's DIMSCALE and LTSCALE to a multiple of the "dscale"

4. Scales all entities by "dscale"

5.  Purges All

6.  Zoomextents()

7. Saves the drawing as a *.dwg file

8. Closes the drawing

9. Logs some statistics on each file converted.

It seems as most of the time is spent in Step 2. I can obviously do steps 2,3 & 4 by reading/modifying  the DXF as a text file very fast. But I would rather keep all the processing inside of AutoCAD.So here are my questions(based on using COM):

1. What additional references do I need work directly with the drawing's database?

2. Are the NET transaction examples under this category valid when going through COM?

I've zipped and attached the current project (VS2010 project)  for possible reference

AutoCAD 2013 :: Generate Thumbs From Old DWGs

Mar 2, 2013

Any archiving or library tool that would develop a preview contact sheet - JPG, PDF, etc.. of a folder of say 700-1000 basic DWG drawings of manufacturing assemblies (not complex building layouts or anything).

We've got a ton of old drawings that we need to sift through and I don't want to open each one. 

I'm thinking there's some 3rd party something.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Create A Pdf Drawing Compiled Other Dwgs?

Apr 4, 2013

Basically I've been asked to compile a series of my best work into a collection that our sales guys can take with them as an example of the service we provide to our customers. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way, because I have a pretty big library of 3D drawings.

When I do an actual project, I toss everything into a single .dwg and just print from paper space. I have an AutoLISP script that takes all the paper space layouts and prints them to a single .pdf file with a specific name relative to the project with the current plot time and date.

I could just create a new file Library.dwg and copy/paste all of my past work into it, then make a ton of paper space layouts, but the end result would be gigantic. I'm still running AutoCAD 2013 on a crappy laptop because I won't get the budget for a real rig until the end of the month.

One thought I had was that maybe there's some way to make a viewport in paper space that directs to a model space of an external .dwg, but all of my searches turned up nothing. In fact, now that I think about it, it's driving me nuts that it isn't a feature already. Making a paper space viewport that points to an external .dwg would make my life significantly easier.

One reason I don't want to just go back and print the original pages as they exist is that I want to use the same title block template for all drawings, and mine has evolved over time. I also want to add notes to each page, and I don't want to modify the old drawings at all.
