AutoCAD 2010 :: Digitizer Tablet Support
Mar 29, 2010
I have Digitizer Tablet and it has worked very well with my XP 32bit computer for many years. I downloaded the new Autocad 2011 Win 30 day trial and installed it. I configured the tablet with the WinTab 3.2 driver, the way that I did in version 2010 and everything seemed to work fine untill I exited Autocad, and now it gaves me an error message every time I exit. But if I configure it back as a standard mouse, it works OK but no tablet support. Have they changed the driver for Autocad 2011 or do they not support tablets anymore? I noticed that there is no longer have a tablet menu drawing in the sample drawings anymore.

We're trying to use vtablet with ACAD 2012LT and a GTCO Rollup III 3648 on Com1, 32-bit Win7 (32-bit driver) and are having a bit of trouble with the configuration.The problem is that ACAD seems to only half-recognize it.
When we try to change the pointing device to "wintab compatible digitizer", the change won't "stick" - but I don't see an error message in the status line. The "apply" button simply continues to stay grayed out and clicking on "ok" doesn't make ACAD save the change. Thus since the pointing device remains a mouse, when we try to turn the tablet on, we get an error message that says "your pointing device cannot be used as a tablet".
However, we can move the tablet's stylus and it moves the cursor. We can also draw a line in ACAD but can't calibrate (since calibrate never becomes an option since we can't turn the tablet on inside ACAD).
Yes, UAC is off. Yes the digitizer does seem to be sending regular packets. Yes the digitizer shows up in device manager as a MS Serial Ballpoint (the mouse uses USB). They both move the cursor seemingly without conflict (there is no jerkiness).

I'm trying to use a digitizer tablet in Illustrator but I can't figure out how to calibrate it so that the vectors come out at the right size/length regardless of the zoom level. In CAD, the 'tablet' command allows you to pick two points on the tablet and correspond that to two points on the CAD model space and after you do that, the scale at which you draw remains constant. I'm drawing archaeological sections so the scale needs to be exact.
I've had difficulty trying to do the same in Illustrator.

This has started recently. Previously once I configured the tabled it stayed configured. Is there some setting I messed up somewhere? The Win Tab I use is "Tablet Manager, V7.11.02". Running Win 7 ultimate, 64 bit, and R2012.

I have used ACAD Lt 2000 for years and it has been fine untill recently. It does not seem to like the new hardware so I am trying the 2012 Lt for 30 days. One thing it is not letting me do is calibrate the digitizer, (a GTCO 3648 Rollup II) I am not even getting a "tools" menu and typing in "CAL" gets me a weird " >> Expression: " in the command line. It shows:
(mouse icon) Menu: Tools > Tablet > Configure

When I migrated to 2012 form 2011, it only migrated a partial list of the support file search locations. So, I reset the ones that were missing and exported out my profile.
Next I saved my workspace to my name and checked the box to "automatically save workspace".
I shut my computer down for the night. When I restarted my computer, then AutoCAD 2012 the missing support paths are missing again. I am not the only one in the CAD department that is having this issue. It is so annoying to have to reset my profile every time I shut my computer down.

When you start autocad for the first time, it creates a profile with the default support file search paths. Where does AutoCAD get this from?
I want to use this for a tool I am creating.

I have a Calcomp DrawingBoard III (12x 12) digitizer running on Windows XP Service Pack #3. The digitizer wintab driver conflicts with Photoshop CS4, preventing it from opening. When I start Photoshop it partially opens and then the computer locks up. But, if the computer boots up without the wintab driver loading, Photoshop starts and runs properly.

GIMP has great tools for creating smooth lines from tablet input:
These options allow for a great range of input raniging from just remoiving jiter to creating very smooth lines with a delayed pen stroke.
The only option I've found like this in PS is the "Smoothing" checkbox in the brush propeties box, but it has very little affect and can not be manupulated. Is there anything like this available in Photoshop, or as a plugin for Photoshop?

We live in an age when most architects use computer software in the design process, and I wondered how the tablet may be useful in this process? whether it is better to use a mouse with high precision when using programs such as Revit Architecture, ArchiCAD, or things like that.

Our PCB department is comtemplating the idea of constructing 3D printed circuit baord assemblies! I am using Inventor Routed Systems 2010. Does Inventor support IDF files? If so, which IDF version does IV support version 2.0 or 3.0?

I'm running AutoCAD LT 2011. As a test for myself when i first started using the program I created a block in which i have a rectangle and a linear stretch pair parameter attached to it, and a field attribute referencing the distance that the stretch parameter is stretched out to.
I'd like to know if its possible to set up a prompt when inserting the block into a drawing that allows me to type the desired distance of the stretch parameter and have the rectangle stretch to the entered distance as its inserted.
I'm trying to automate the process of simply inserting the block and then dragging the grips of the parameter out or updating the distance via the properties panel.

Is it possible to use voice recognition to add notes / redline Autodesk 360 drawings in the field on a tablet. For example when inspecting a dock being able to use a stylus to add a redline cloud around a specific pile on a plan drawing and then adding comments via voice recognition would be a real time saver.

Using IV2013
1.) I found a post that says that iLogic doesn't support wildcards. Are there any workarounds for this? For example, say I want a rule to suppress all hex bolts regardless of size in an assembly. Assuming all hex bolts will have the term "HEX BOLT" in the name, can such a rule be made?
2.) I was wondering if iLogic can access assembly (browser) folders to manipulate all files under it. For example, I have an assembly folder named "Hardware". Can iLogic access that folder by name?
3.) When an equation driven parameter gets pushed between files via an iLogic rule only the value is pushed instead of the equasion. For example, an IAM and IPT has the parameter with equation "PlaneElevation=Height/2". With iLogic this value is to be pushed from the IAM to IPT but if I change the IAM equation to "Height/4" then the IPT's "PlaneElevation" value loses the equation and is replaced with only the numerical value. What I'd like is the IPT's parameter to also read "Height/4".

I started using AuoCAD Civil 3D 2013 on my windows 8. It is crashing a few minutes after opened. When I run it in the mode "Civil 3d as Autocad" everything works ok, but I can only visualise and plot the drawing and move the labels.
First, I thought that I had a problem with my PC so I tried googling this issue, updating my version to SP1 but nothing got fixed. Throught my research on the web It seems that mostly of Windows 8 users are facing problems using Autodesk products on their computers especially whem my co-worker was facing such a similar issue on running both of AutoCAD 2012 and Revit 2013 on his windows 8 and I can not describe how much did we got annoyed for such problem and the circumstances for not able to complete our work tasks using Autodesk products.
The point is how Autodesk is going to give a final solution to Windows 8 incomptability issues. Will be there anything further or it is just Windows 8 users are forced to leave their operating system and back for older one without any incomptaibilty issues like Windows 7?

I am looking at building a support for a customers part. Trouble is the part is curves and surfaces. Part doesnt have too many "flat" sides to it. I am struggling with how to get what I need. In this video, I am showing how the part will move onto the support (support is clear blue).
I created an assembly, then derived the iam into a part... subtracting out where the part will sit in the support. The problem I am having is removing the material so the part can move into the support from above.
Here is a picture of the support with the part subtracted out. I would post this, but the filesize is pretty large (18mb).
I cant seem to find a way to trim this off.

I used autocad 2010 at my old job but I now use 2012. Now, I keep getting a "bad definition for linetype" error when I try to use linetypes that worked fine at my old job. Someone suggested that I reestablish my support paths but I don't know how to do this.

Is there a file I can manually edit to add my support file paths? Just had another crash that lost all of them and don't want to have to manually add them one at a time.

I am running AutoCAD 2013 on Windows 7 on a virtual machine (Fusion) on my mac (Macbook Pro (late 2008), OS 10.6.8, 2.53 GHz, 8GB Ram.
I want to delete Fusion from my machine and use Bootcamp to run AutoCAD instead. Before I delete my virtual Windows machine and uninstall Fusion, I want to make sure that I have a copy of all supporting files for AutoCAD so that when I reinstall it in Bootcamp, I can restore all present functionality.
I am not very knowledgeable about AutoCAD or PCs in general, so I don't know what I don't know. In other words, I know that there are files that AutoCAD uses that I have created knowlingly or not that are important to be reinstalled so that the program continues to work how I am used to, but I don't know what all these files are, or where they are stored. The most obvious example are .ctb files that I have created over the past several years that have moved automatically with each upgrade. There are surely other aspects of customization that exist in files kept somewhere, that AutoCAD references, but again, I don't know where all such files are kept.
Any best method for gathering all such files so that I can copy them to a thumbdrive and then reinstall in Bootcamp, once I've re-installed AutoCAD?

I am adding tool palettes for our new CAD Standards and would like to set the support paths so the users don't have to.
I will need to set:
Support File Search Path
Dictionary
Plot Style
Color Book
Drawing Template
Sheet Set Template
Tool Palettes
[URL].......
[URL].........
[URL].........
[URL].........
[URL]...........
Basically I would like to append the paths for the new items, but not overwrite the variety of existing paths.
So I assume I need to read the current paths, read the new paths and append them to the current paths, then write them as updated paths? This is for about 30 users in 11 different offices and varying cad skills.
I can tweak existing LISP routines, but have never written one from scratch. Is there an "easy" way to accomplish this?

I have been changing setting in the Options dialog box for many years but have never made any changes directly to the "Working Support File Search Path" because these update automatically to reflect changes i make in the "Support File Search Path."
What is the purpose of these "Working" settings?

Some of our 64-bit users lose their custom Support File Search Paths.
After reading about it, I saw that I could add them back in by putting
(setenv "ACAD" "S:\Fonts;S:\Acad2007\Hatch_Patterns;S:\Acad2007\Lisp;S:\Acad2007\Simpson\Menu;”)
at the end of acad2013.lsp.
1. However, I get malformed string on input error in AutoCAD.
2. My other question is do I need to list only the custom paths or all of the built-in paths as well?

I guess it does NOT support it because it seems that it does NOT work properly. For example, in case of multiple lines of “Horizontal” setting, it works properly like followings. But in case of multiple lines of “Vertical” setting, it does NOT work properly like followings.
Configure of “Horizontal”:
ABC
DEF
GHI
Configure of “Vertical”:
ABC DEF GHI
In my perspective, it should go downward like followings.
In my “perspective” of Vertical”:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
We are making application software for importing DXF file from AutoCAD. If AutoCAD does not support multiple lines of vertical setting on mtex, our software also should not support it, I think. I want to know the specification for multiple lines of vertical setting of AutoCAD.
