I have a pretty simple data extraction, one length paramater from a group of dynamic blocks. When I right click and select the Update Table Links I get an error dialog that says some files can not be found and when I expand the details the file it is looking for is itself! See the attached snapshot. This function used to work.
View 3 RepliesI don't have AutoCad, but I was given a DWG that was created in 2007. It is a map of a lake's water depth vs distance in the east and north directions. Is it possible extract the actual value of water depth from the DWG file? For example the file would contain columns of x-location, y-location, and water depth.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI spent the better part of the day animating a Camera (using the CSTools DocuCam setup) in Cinema. It's excatly how I want it. The camera rig is parented to a null which is simply changing its position around the scene. I'm also keyframing a target null that the DocuCam is following. The DocuCam has several xpressions that cause it to "wiggle" and quickly zoom in and out to give a handheld feel.
First attempt, I brought in the C4d (r14) file into AECC and hit Extract Camera data. Solo'd out just the DocuCam (the currently selected camera in the C4D source file), and added a Solid to the Comp. Scrubbed through the timeline to see if it moved away from the Camera as expected, and it is totally misaligned. The camera doesn't rotate or perform any of the same movement as it did in C4d.
I also tried baking all the keyframes for each of the elements in the c4d file, and re-import. Not any better. All the frames for the camera do import (without the nulls, etc), but again, it looks like I'd have to muck around with some nulls in AE to (maybe) get everything to align.
It will be annoying to have to CameraTrack my 3D rendered scene, when I have all that data in C4D.
Other attempts included:
Trying to use an .aec file and that only imported 1 keyframe for the camera, despite the baking method.
Repeat same procedure, this time with External Compositing Tags attached to the camera and assoc layers. Even attached it to a dummy object (Cube) in front of the camera and tag'd it.
The vertices of the polyline cant’ be extracted!
The “list” command does give the coordinates of the vertices of the polyline while these data can’t be extracted by using the command “Extract Data”.
Is there some workaround to have the vertices of the polyline extracted in a table?

I need to edit properties for 4000 features. For this task I use FDO Toolbox Data Update comand and it is done in no time. How it can be done in AutoCAD MAP?
I know I can copy data in Data Table or edit in Properties Pane but these methods do not work (applications does not respond) for more than a few hundred features.
Editing a few thousand features is common task in GIS?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have a block (called test, for arguments sake) within this block we have text (attribute / fiield or whatever).
Now I have an alignment that has stations set every 10 units and on those stations I have inserted the block "test" as part of the alignment label style.
I can get the block inserting correctly, rotation the direction I require etc but what I need is for this block to report the station number.. ie 10, for the first 20 for the second and so on.
Is this possible?
How can I update the data connection source for all the display map layers in my map layouts? If I want to change the shapefile a layer is representing I can not get the layer to point to the new shapefile.
The layer seems to always remember the name/location of the old shapefile. If I export the layer and modify the value in Notepad then load a new layer from the saved and modified layer file it will change. However I would have to do this for every layer I want to change.
Is there another way to change the property of this layer in AutoCAD?
Example: I create a drawing and layout with a Display layer that points to the FDO data for shapefiles "C:datauildings.shp".
I then give the drawing to another worker hows data is on "E:DATABUILDINGS.SHP" the data connection to the layer cannot be updated that I can see.
I've got a block with multiple attributes. This is not a problem to redefine the blocks attributes.
Some of the attributes contains dynamic fields (blockplace holder x y z parameters) When i insert a block with such atributes that includes the blockplaceholder dynamic fields i get
X: InsertionPoint => It is recognized as an Dynamic field but displays InsertionPoint. and does not update the value.
How can i update the fielddata from vb.net?
Part of the code I use (where i think the problem is)
For Each attid As ObjectId In refbtr attent = tr.GetObject(attid, OpenMode.ForRead) If TypeOf attent Is AttributeDefinition Then Dim attdef As AttributeDefinition = attent Dim attref As New AttributeReference() attref.SetAttributeFromBlock(attdef, myBlockRef.BlockTransform) Dim attrefid As ObjectId = myBlockRef.AttributeCollection.AppendAttribute(attref) tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(attref, True) End IfNext
In the attached file, I have a piece of MText with a series of fields, one of which the date and time updates each time you REGEN.
However, I cannot create a date and time field that updates during a REGEN.
In the attached file, you will see the one that updates (along with a screenshot of the field variables I used), as well as other examples where a date and time field will NOT update (along with a different screen shot)
1. Why this one particular date field will update each time I REGEN
2. Why I CANNOT create a new date field value to update each time I regen
I tried different date field values, but I simply cannnot create a new field that updates with a regen.
Unbelievingly AUTOCAD 2011 doesn't show version information and updates installed in About screen... and anywhere.
If it wasn't annoying enought... the commands _VERNUM and ACADVER are really useless considering they retrieve a code whitout meaning.
ACADVER = "18.1s (LMS Tech)" (read only)
_VERNUM = "E.208.0.0 (UNICODE)" (read only)
Then I ask: What is the way to know exactly what updates are installed in AutoCAD 2011 x64.
I am trying to install the update #2 for Autocad LT 2010.
I ran the update from the autocad ballon and I got an error.
I got a message to restart the computer. I did and i had a message i had to manually install.
I downloaded the correct update file (autocadlt2010update2x64.exe) and when I run I have error 1328.
Says "error applying patch to file C:Config.MsiPTE1B3.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch."
So simple little retaining wall subassembly created in the SAC. When i extract multiple feature lines from a corridor using this subassembly, all the feature lines assume the elevation of the first link i selected. So if i first click on 'RW_Hinge" all successive feature lines will show up with the same elevations as "RW_Hinge". if i erase all the feature lines the select a different link say "RW_Top" then they all go to "RW_Top".
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to get number of circles and their diamters through list in drawing.
Just like as quick select option, it selects all circles and told total quantity. But never tells individual circle diameter and their quantity.
It will be better , if information come as a list. Try lisp if required.
Same like as attribute extraction command, but in that blocks are needed.
I'm using ACA2012 x64 but I suppose this question is applicable to all flavors of AutoCAD. Is there a routine that will insert today's date in a drawing and update that entry when the drawing is opened? Fieldeval won't update date fields.

I created a surface with the style showing slopes as 2D solids. I extracted the slopes from the surface and moved them to their own file. They look fine in the file where they reside. When I xreference them into a drawing, they no longer show up as solids. They just show the outlines of the triangles.
I know I could change the style to to 2d hatches instead of solids, but I'm more curious as to why this is happening and how to fix the 2d solids.

I updated a working cad station with the lastest pathes. It loaded the new MS Dot Net framework 4. Now Acad crashes if you open it, see below. If you click on an existing drawing it opens and you can work with no problems.
My question is - Is Acad 2011 compatable with the new DotNet 4? The fault module below is DotNet. The old drawings were created using 3.51 DotNet so it looks to me it tries to use the dot net 4 on new drawing.

I have a basic floor plan in AutoCAD 2012 that has blocks in specific locations which contain personel data....name, phone, computer tag, desk key numbers, etc. I extracted the data to an Excel spreadsheet and I thought set up a "data link". But I don't know how to make the data update.
My problem...moves of staff, phone, computers are often made, but no one lets me know about it until they want a new floor plan printed and the computer and key tags get so messed up from the moves that it can take me hours to fix.
My goal is to be able to have our secretarial staff update the spreadsheet and in turn update the blocks in my AutoCAD drawing when it is opened and/or "updated".
I am creating a schedule with a .dxe file, which extracts data from attributes into a schedule. Is there a way to link this file so it is a "relative path" instead of a full path. IE: The .dxe file is liked to the same folder that contains the current drawing, not linked to my C:/AutoCad drawings/Job Name/folder2... I really want to be able to move the drawing and .dxe to a different folder and not have the link broken.
