We are using a file created by another company and making additions to it for Interiors. While working in this file we have added some new layers and have begun to hatch new walls. While hatching some of these wall my boss received a message saying that the file had errors. He saved and closed the file at that point. When he re-opened the file a number of lines were missing from the file.
They appear to be completely random - i.e. parts of chairs are missing but not the whole chair, parts of walls but not whole walls. The things missing were not all on the same layer and were not necessarily items that had been hatched.
Note - we are running 2012 and the files were created in 2007
Recently upgrade to ACad 2012 from 2002 and have a Designjet 500 at my office and am having trougble with a dot hatch in .plt files being sent to my printshop.At my office, I'm using a Designjet.pc3 file for both the 2002 and 2012 dwg files and they plot identically, no problem.
In creating a .plt file using a 750c.pc3 file for both 2002 and 2012 files for my printshop, the plt file for 2002 plots fine but the plt file for 2012 omits the dot hatch. Other hatches on both drawing plot fine. In print preview in both ACads both files show the dot hatch. I'm using ABviewer to check the hatch problem so I don't have to keep bothering my printshop about this. With the 2002 plt file it looks fine but in the 2012 plt file the dot hatch is missing. ABviewer shows results consistant w/ my printshop.
Am using identical pc3 files and identical CTB files. This problem goes across all my drawings....all hatches work between 02 and 12 except the dot hatch. All drawings were qsaved into 2012 from 2002 when I ungraded cads.
I have created a new 750c.pc3 file and the problem is found in that as well.Attached are just small samples of the problem showing 2002 and 2012 examples.I can only believe I am missing a setting somewhere in 2012 or there is a problem between 2012 and the 750c print driver.
I am having problems with lines disappearing in a sketch randomly. I am in a small assembly, going in and out of sketches used for machining, and then the sketch lines and dimensions will all be gone when I enter a sketch. If I hover over the sketch in the browser I can see the lines highlighted, but when I remove my mouse the will disappear. I cannot interact with the lines or dimensions at all. If I draw a new line, it immediately disappears. I have tried changing some things in the view tab and settings but haven't had any luck.
We have a dynamic block here at work that has a solid hatch in it. It is a simple block which only utilizes a dropdown menu.
This block is a circle with a solid hatch in it. However when I select the block via dropdown menu, the hatch is not solid, it is a bunch of lines originating from the center of the circle.
I have never had this problem before with this block and nothing has changed with the block.
It also works fine when I open up other drawings.
This tells me that there is a problem with the settings of this specific file but I cannot figure out what setting.
I believe the problem occurred because I brought my work home with me and I have different settings on my autocad (both ACAD 2011).
I am trying to create a centralized .arg file, so that if I make a change to this default profile all the machines will immediately see the change.
Currently I can only get this to work by importing the new profile, and i can't really ask 40 or so draughtsmen to re import when a change has been made.
AutoCad see's the file but does not update any changes.
I am tasked with tidying up some drawings that have been exported from Vectorworks and it seems there is a fundamental problem with the drawing.
Some lines do not appear when viewing the drawing, they only appear when panning or when I select all. There are some cases where a line disappears behind a rectangle as if it had a hatch fill yet no such thing exists.
I'm laying lines on top of an airial photo and my lines seem to be disappearing under the graphic. I know the lines are there, because they will highlight when the cursuer passes over them. Sometimes the lines will be on top and then under. I know there is something I'm doing wrong but can't figure it out. Is there a "Bring to the Front" like in MicroSoft applications.
I have a problem with Inventor 2013. The dimension lines have disappeared. I've been through all the dimension styles and layers to make sure I hadn't turned one off
All other drawings are fine and if I create another even using the same model it works just fine but I'd rather find out why than re-do the whole drawing.
Over the past 6 months we have had the feature lines just up and disappear from the drawing for no reason. They were not erased. They just went away for some reason but the surface created from them was still there.
I’m having some issues with my CAD. Every now and then, my contour lines disappear and I can’t get them to reappear. My surface border and triangles will appear but not the contours. Sometimes if I change surface styles they will appear but other times they are gone forever.
Troubleshooting: Regen AllAuditPurgeLayers on/offLayers frozen/thawedPromoting (if the surface is a data short cut)Changing the surface styleChanging the contour interval
None of this has worked…

I started a drawing for a project, and so far I don't have much information in the drawing. I created a few objects, then went to one of my Layout pages and created a viewport to view the objects, and bam - some of the lines are missing (the yellow objects). As you can see on the screen grabs, I hovered over the Model tab to prove they're still there. Even when I double-click inside the viewport to edit through it and try to grab the objects, they're apparently gone. But they're not, they show up in the Model tab.
The layer they're on is turned on, thawed, and unlocked, but every object in that layer is missing when I leave the Model tab. I've opened viewports on other Layout pages, and they all refuse to show the yellow lines.
I want to create a whole load of layers (approx 150) by importing them from a xls spreadsheet into my AutoCAD layer manager. How this is achieved without having to create each layer at a time by manual entry? Note that I created a .las file (attached as a .txt version) based upon exporting an existing set of layers to a .las file and then amending it. However, after saving the amended .las file it would not re import into the layer manager.
We are having an issue where users are you autocad and are working on the drawing as they go to save Autocad pops up and says someone else is using the drawing and then creates a read only file. We are 99% sure that there is no one else using the drawing.
After a bit of a google on various forums I have came across a post which says that it maybe a network issue with the drawing creating DWL files (locked) and then it taking time to update on the network.
When I use the move command to, let's say, to move a floor plan (drag to new location on the page), some of the lines in the "moved" floor plan are either skewed or missing. I'm able to "cut and paste" as welll as "copy with basepoint" w/out problem.
This has happened on all versions of AutoCAD in our office.
I paste schedules from Excel into AutoCAD. I print out the sheets and ghost lines appear on the PDF and hard copy that were not intentionally place in the excel file. What is happening and what can be done about it.
I also paste a tif file on a sheet change the setting to imageframe <0> and a residual line willl appear in pdf and hard copy that seems to be the border of the tif image.
My students draw all of the individual parts of a product as ipt files. Next they create an assembly using those ipt files on a iam template. Next they generate a multiview assembly drawing on a idw template from the iam file. On the idw multiview assembly random visible lines disappear and we are not able to get them back. Students are turning of the visiblity of some of the hidden lines on the idw assembly but not all hidden lines.
I'm a relative beginner with AutoCAD and was looking to find a way to quickly import a selection of survey points (X & Y coordinates) and their labels from an excel spreadsheet using a script file.
I've been editing with no problems for a while now but every time I try to share/create a video file it fails every time at 95%. I'm assuming it must be something specific for it to fail every time at the same point and i've tried it in multiple formats but always with the same result
I have autocad 2010 installed on dell n5537, i5, windows 8, 64 bit,.. whenever i open an existing cad file,.. it gives strange lines emerging,... as shown in the screenshots attached, most of the times they emerge from the corners,..
these lines hide n show, when i pan/zoom or move the dwg .
The program has encountered an unspecified error and has stopped functioning. Please contact Corel Technical Support and send the dump file for analysis.
my user has AutoCAD Inventor 2010 and she wants to open a file created using AutoCAD 2007 but always failed with the error message that system running on low memory then Autocad will close. The file can be open without problem using AutoCAD 2007. I'd tried using a computer with Xeon Processor and 4 GB RAM but still facing the same problem so I guessed it's not the hardware problem. Is it a bug and how to solve it?
I cannot seem to open .dwg files from an email using AutoCAD LT 2010
I get an error saying c:users"username" empoutlookj0814-052.dwg is currently in use or is read only.
Would you like to open the file ready-only?
I can save the file then open it. But the user wants to open the attachment straight from the email.
I've tried changing the attributes on the folder from read only but this doesn't work, tried another profile, again this doesn't work.
It does seem to only effect .dwg files when opening with AutoCAD LT 2010. If someone sends an xls, .doc, .pdf attachment they all open OK, I'm sure this is an AutoCAD LT 2010 issue. I have downloaded and installed both hotfixes / patches from the autodesk website and reinstalled the software but this hasn't worked either.
I have a brand new workstation and only on certain files it will say FATAL ERROR: Cannot write to undo file (probably disk full) when ever I save. I have tried cleaning out the TEMP file, turning off the Undo function, auditing the file and its xrefs, and recovering the file. It was a file that was on the server, but I have pulled it to my local machine and I have also increased the amount of virtural memory avaiable.
Even though I run the Dwgconvert function in DwgTrueview 2012 I still can not open the converted file in AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 SP 2. Fatal error with some hex memory addresses displayed. DwgTrueview opens and displays the dwg. just fine. AutoCAD R14 & 2000 open the file with no problem as well.
Customer supplied me with a "print-ready" PDF and it's in my dropbox folder: [URL]
The map streets supposedly have lines adjacent to the names, but the PDF doesn't show them on my Mac, Acro Pro XI as well as Ily CS6 when I open the PDF.
She created the PDF using Ily CS4 and saved as PDF. Can't see the lines. I asked her to save as .eps... again the lines are 'disappearing.'
When I open her PDF using Ily CS6, I get an error message "An unknown shading type was encountered." Not sure if this has anything to do with the 'disappearing' lines or what.
Looking how the best way to hatch out lines, equipment being removed on drawings. is it possible to create a linetype so it would be easy to just follow a line that needs hatching, or create a multiline?
