Our company is currently looking at a large upgrade from AC LT to Product design suite and Building design suite. My question is, will the following setup support it? If not, what's needed? We're at a crossroads and need to capitalize on the current software sales.
Our current setup:
yanWorkstation Motherboard, AMD 3ghz processor, 8gb ram, 2tb mirrored storage, 500watt PSU,
DVD, Antec 300 Chassis
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard W/SP1 5 CALs 1 Server (1-4 CPU) OEM DVD 64-BIT
We have a proxy server on the network which only allows certain websites to be accessed. Recently I have found with CAD 2013 that a lot of the content inside the application actually depends on the user having internet access. Is there a list of addresses you can send me which I can unblock on our firewall?
1. Main Computer> I run a Manager 2. Main Computer> I run a Server which connects to the Manager (no problems here). 3. Main Computer> I run a Monitor. 4. Second Computer> I run a Server, it connects with Manager on the Main computer no problems. 5. Main Computer> I click connect in the Manager and it connects showing both computers available and idle. 6. In 3dsmax 2013, I choose Network rendering and it pops out the window where I leave options as they are and click connect in the available server list it only shows the Main computer the other one is not there (although it is in the Monitor list). When I start rendering only one computer is used for the process.
Backburner 2013 the newest version just downloaded 3DSMax 2013 Student version
When I open Photoshop CS6 a registration window pops up informing me that the free trial of Creative Suites is over and I have to reenter my serial # to proceed.
steps to create a single deployment package for the Autodesk software suites?
My company is on subscription and can download all of the individual software packages, but there are not any instructions for creating a single deployment package for a suite like AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite that includes both Revit & AutoCAD and several other things.
Too often, I have a job, where backburner assigns a bunch of frames to one server while all the others sit there idle as if to agonize me for all the money I spent and lack of time I have.
It happened this time when rendering with skipped frames selected. It assigned 20 frames to one machine. Reseting the tasks doesn't reaqsign them.
Any way to transform/rubbersheet a photo/raster so it sticks to a wall i.e. vertically and not just doing it 2D. Trying to digitise photo's taken of walls to work in a 3d model.
I am trying to design a barrel cam. This works well with lofting, but I am not so sure about the mathematical accuracy. I am used to making cams like this with 1/4 degrees resolution - much too cumbersome in lofting. Is there a way with "_sweep" to constrain the profile (2d polyline) so that it stays e.g. parallel with the Z-axis?
We have both 2012 and 2013 AutoCAD at work, and both versions are having the same problem. When adding favorites in Design Center, it does not show up. The shortcut is actually there if I browse using Windows Explorer, but it does not show up in Design Center. I guess this is some issue where shortcuts do not show up, which is beyond me because that is how the Favorites system is supposed to work.
I should add, this is not an issue on some of our older machines running AutoCAD 2009.
I am trying to bring in a block from the design center and some of the parts that were created as the block are not showing up. If there is a layer setting or another setting in the drawing that I am missing?
I have a drawing with 3 table styles I've saved that I can usually insert into my drawings using design center when I need them. Normally all three come in fine, occasionally only two will come in. I have a drawing that I am trying to insert my table styles into and none of them are inserting! I don't know if there's a setting preventing this command or what.
My design center has the content of my entire computer on it. How do I adjust it so that only the general blocks are present on there, such as doors, plants, etc.?
Working in Autocad 2010, needed to insert my title block into my design, I know how to insert, but I can't get design to work in the middle of title block.
I have a problem with autocad 12 when i write command DC "design center" it don't work correct it show me the box but don't expand any drive to select !
I have just finished my design and I wanted to insert a title block and annotations with pictures using the paperspace option. I want to print the design out onto A1 Paper (80000mm x 56000mm) to a 1:100 scale.
What I want to know is what is the dashed line, how do I make the paperspace A1 size and a 1:100 scale, as well as wanting to know how to make the title block and add annotations to the design.
One problem I am facing is that any line I do create comes out bold as well as when I zoom into the drawing itself every line is bold. Why is this?
design Center - display order goes out the window. The inserted block is redefined but the rest of the drawing loses all its display order. sortents (127, 33, 51, etc) and displayorderctl does nothing, either before or after the block is redefined. hatches and blocks just jump to the front (display order shows as order of drawn not order as moved to) Regenall does nothing.
absolute nightmare with display order managed elevations (solid hatch, baconies, windows, multple buildings, all overlaying!!)
I wanted to use the program to design a robot for our school vex competition. Vex has provided cad files for all the parts. So, how i can import the seperate parts into one design. I can only open each part individually but cant find a way to combine them so can assemble the robot in one design.
I just made a copy of assembly in Design Assistant.I opened the copied assembly in Design Assistant to make some changes.Parts are accessible but I have only "Clear" option possible. URL....
I am working in IV R2010, and I need to create a new material. I went to the "Help" file, and the first thing it says in "On the ribbon, select the 'Design' tab..." Unfortunately, I don't have a "Design" tab. What am I doing wrong, and more imprtantly, how do I make a new material? Because of the nature of our work here, I only use most of Inventor's features rarely, like about once every couple years, and my one remaining memory cell is usually busy remembering something else...
I am attempting to add a material and to select the "Design Tab" except my Ribbon has no such tap. What options are there to get to the material database if there is on Design Tab to select?
I'm having a problem with getting design views to show up properly in idw's. I have turned off visibility in the model of the parts and patterns that I don't want to show. When I insert a view into an idw using the design view, the patterns are still visible. Take a look at the screen shots. I have patterned hardware and idlers and they are not visible in the model, but they are in the drawing view.
I'm working on a staircase with a decorative panel design.
I'd like to export the model to 3ds Max Design, convert the solid model to a mesh and then bend the mesh to follow a horizontal radius of curvature. Once that's done I'd like to be able to convert it back into a solid and import it back into AutoCAD.
I cannot draw any elements from design pallet. Happens suddenly. Probably I accidentally switch something. In command line show command like:WallAdd and right away show another command line. Cannot add any doors or windows - same problem.
I have never written a script but I figure this task is a good place to start. We currently have almost 8,000 files that all use different dimension styles, leader styles, layers and layouts. (All before I got here) I have successfully used the design center to where we can open an old drawing then go through and add all of the new 'standard styles, layouts, and layers'
can I write a script that will add all of these at once. It is not that it is that terrible of a job to do, but like I said my thought is it will be a good way to learn more about scripts, and we have a lot of drawings this needs to happen with.
