I need the image to ALWAYS be on the bottom, but as I draw things sometimes, for no rhyme or reason, it draws it underneath the image and i have to do draworder again to bring it to the front?

I wrote a small script in python to write dxf files out. I want to add this to a button on the ribbon. I got that sorted out and can get my button to appear where I want it. I am having trouble calling the script from the button though.
The API tells me that the button has an OnExecute() event that I should listen for to call my script. I have been searching on how to do that from python but I haven't had any luck.
I want to make a block with an attribute. But over the attribute I want to make a hatch. So at the place of the hatch the attribute shouldnt be visible. When I make the block AutoCAD puts the attribute on top. Is there a way that the hatch will be on top?

Is there a way to lock draworder objects in place?
At the very least, I'd like to position x-refs in a particular order and then lock them there so that they never mistakenly change order. For example...
Back: Aerial photo *.dwg x-ref file
Next: Hatch pattern *.dwg x-ref file
Next: Existing topo *.dwg x-ref file
Next: Proposed linework *.dwg x-ref file
Front: Everything else in that specific primary file
I generally dislike nesting x-refs if I can avoid it.

I am creating a new block that includes text, lines and a solid object. The block is creating properly, however, the linework is behind the solid object.
How do I control the draworder of the items in the block?
Is there a way to set the order before I create the block, OR do I have to modify the block after I have created it?
My draworder tool bar buttons and pull down commands are not working. I click on them and get
Command: Unknown command "AI_DRAWORDER". Press F1 for help.
Command: Unknown command "FRONT". Press F1 for help.
This is the same issue for all of the draworder commands.
If I type draworder in the commande line I can get it to work. How do I restore my tool bar commands to get them to work?
I'm doing a program in Visual Basic 2010. In one of the forms I put a button that when clicked must open AutoCAD 2012 and make a drawing in it. The user will decide where to save it.The steps are these:
1. I added the references Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common to the Visual Basic Project. That's OK.
2. I wrote this in the heading of the form's
- Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
-Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common
3. In the event Click of the Button1 I put this:
Dim acadApp As New AcadApplication 'Create an instance of an AutoCAD Application
AcadApp.Application.Visible = True 'Show the instance of the AutoCAD Application
Dim acadDoc As AcadDocument 'Create an intance of an AutoCAD Document
acadDoc = acadApp.Documents.Open("C:Respaldo TesisDibujo2.dwg") 'Open a Document called Dibujo 2
'Draw a line

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).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 and received a .DXF file that contains 'solid' objects. Unfortunately the next tool in my workflow doesn't understand 'solids' only polylines (and a few other basic shapes like circles, lines, etc). Is there some way to convert the object in AutoCAD?
I tried the 'boundary' command but when it asks to 'Pick Points' and I click inside the solid, it always gives the error 'Valid hatch boundary not found'.
What am I missing here?
Trouble with embedded OLE DWG objects in word 2010 not opening with AutoCAD 2012
We have a user that can't open some OLE DWG files from within a word document. He had 2010 AutoCAD LT on his machine for a while then was upgraded to 2012 AutoCAD (non LT) once that was there LT 2010 was unistalled. since then he has not been able to open certain embedded OLE files within Word. Other users that have other ever had AutoCAD 2012 have no issue opening this embedded DWG files.
i found this thread (URL....) which sounds exactly what is going on with my enduser. But the fix provided is for AutoCad 2000-2012 not the LT versions.
I am using autocad 2013 primarily and other employees are using 2010. I am saving my drawings as 2010 and for me there are no issues. On the other hand people using 2010 are having objects missing in the drawing. All layers are turned on and all thawed. The primary objects missing are AEC objects. Is there a switch to show or hide these object?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen you start a new drawing, you use a DWT
When you insert a pagesetup/layout, you use a DWT
When you insert anything else (like your default layers into an existing drawing), you use DWG.
However, in the described case... the DWG would basically be the same as the DWT (as it would be your default layer setup, or have your company styles etc), so you would create the DWG by going to new and then save immediately.
What bothers me about this is that you then basically have two files... which should be one file - or at least they should be linked: version control.
How do I make sure, non-manually, that the "template DWG" and the "template DWT" are the same, remain the same etc? Or how do I eliminate one of the two?
AutoCAD Mechanical has the "Drawing Setup" utility to import a DWT - am I just overlooking a similar option in Vanilla?
Somehow my X and Y are set to 2412.14 and 4868936255!!!
I have tried to reset these to 0,0 but to no avail.
