Is there a reason that .DWG files do not update in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 Pro, SP1)?
I have "Save a thumbnail preview image" set to "Use view when drawing last saved". I also have Open with AutoCAD application set in Explorer. I have also re-booted the machine.
Have not had a problem before but all of a sudden, the thumbnail will not update, or it shows the AutoCAD "BIG RED A".
AutoCAD 2012 / Inventor 2012
How could I update the thumbnail in the file? The view should be isometric.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI take a lot of images for time laspe sequences andI have just upgraded to LR5 and the issue I am seeing is after inporting or developing the images the only thumbnails that update are those I curently amm looking at in the library. I can scroll down after leaving the machine for hours and they only update when currently scrolled. This is really annoying and just taking ages to do anything. I have downloaded LR5.2 RC but there is no change that I can see.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWe are having this problem with all 8 of our AutoCAD stations.
If we go to Tools / Options / Open and Save / Thumbnail Preview Settings, in the "Sheets and Views" panel, the "Performance-Accuracy Slider" is set all the way to the right, which the Information Panel lists as "Update thumbnails when saving drawing".
This makes our SAVEs very long.
We can slide it to the middle and our SAVEs become very quick.
But we have to remember to change it for EACH drawing we open.
I forgot on the last one and has been saving for half-an-hour so far.
Is there any way to keep the slider in the middle for each time we open?
we have created a large number of blocks out on our network and are continuously adding to them. A good way to provide a list or thumbnails of available blocks without having to create a drawing with all the blocks inserted to it. i just need to be able to communicate all available blocks to new hires, engineers, etc.

how should we update them without a manual update file?

adobes says the final ACR 7.2 update is available through the CS6 update.well that is of no use when you have offline computers. This update will be released as manual update file too?! any infos?
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."
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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I place an Inventor 2012 part into an AutoCAD 2012 layout, the drawing view fails to update after a change is made to the Inventor file. When I click "Update View" in AutoCAD the command line says, "1 view(s) is up to date.", but the drawing does not change. Both the AutoCAD drawing and the Inventor part file are located on a server drive which is mapped as a network drive. AutoCAD displays the correct path in the drawing view properties.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get a list of xrefs contained within a drawing to auto update by using Rtext.
I have got as far as using the following diesel expression.
Xref's in this file are indicated as - Xref name [Filepath]
$(Xrefs,3,)
$(Images,3,Images in this file: )
This gives me more or less what I want but I dont want to show the file path. What changes to the expression I need to do to achieve this.
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".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written a basic web service using RealDWG(.NET) that can update a DWG-file from one version to another with an option to update an existing block attribute. No other content in the DWG file should be changed/corrupted/deleted in a way so it cannot be edited just as before my little service executed and saved the file. The service seems to work fine when using some sample files I have received. I've done a visual comparison using DWG TrueView 2013 and to my eye it looks the same. Any tool that could compare and list if something was changed or excluded from the original drawing?
I see that the file size actually differs quite a bit after saving the file. I expected that the file would be the same size when I specify that it should be saved using the same version as the original file (for example AC1021. I notice that a couple of fonts (SHX files) could not be found when reading the source DWG but I do not think that should have any effect?I see that several dbx files are being loaded when a file is loaded/parsed (AecBase.dbx, AecbElecBase.dbx, …). Do these object enablers require that I add any dependencies to my visual studio 2010 project? At the moment I only have a dependency to acdbmgd.dll. From the documentation I could not really work out if I needed to add more dependencies than the one I have but I might have been reading in the wrong places…
What program(s) were actually used to create the drawings I have tested but the service have to handle files produced with several different AutoCAD products (including different versions). Being new to RealDWG and most things related to AutoCAD.
My computer died and I had to re-install CS6. I had originally installed it to an external hard drive expecting that I could just hook up a new computer when the time came and everything would work as before.I contacted Adobe and got the program re-installed. Now, when I open a file, I am unable to change the view in the View Menu to 'thumbnail' because 'thumbnail' is no longer an option. How can I get that option back?
View 8 Replies View RelatedTo make things easier to understand, I'll explain what I do: our sports' photography department makes photos of several sports teams, we print the photos, we put them in a basic two-sheeted album, and then send the photos to the team. As we print all the photos together, they are on a big pile and it's very difficult to sort them with the correct team name. So we take the printed photo, and compare it to all the team photos on the computer, which have the team name in the file name. So this is a very inefficient and slow process.
I was thinking of printing the photos as thumbnails on a sheet, and THEN compare them to the printed sports' photos. It's a lot easier to have a piece of paper with e.g. 10 photos to compare to than browse them on a computer.
So, again, I hope there's a way to let Photoshop put 10 thumbnails on a single sheet, and put the file name below it. All automatically (with an action?) of course.
ever SP 3 was installed I lost the ability to preview files in their folders and see thumbnails. All there is are icons for the new files. Any files that was created before the upgrade has thumbnails and can be previewed in the folders.
