How to avoid nested references reload every time I open autocad drawing. In some drawings I have twenty nested references. I really need to avoid reload each reference.
View 1 RepliesHow do I get my Sheet Set Manager to open up each time I open a CAD drawing? I turned it off and can't remember how to turn it back on. I use command SSautoopen, set to 1 but doesn't alway work. Sometimes if I close AutoCad and reopen it I can got to drop down menu and click on .dst extension and it will open but if I close out of it it won't open again unless I restart AutoCAD. I thought I used a command from the Express Tool menu but can't find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI seem to remember a command that you could input which would show you detail info about when a drawing was originally open and how much time it the drawing had been open. But of course I do not recall what the command was.

I'm only running Autocad 2013 LT on my computer without servers.
I need to open multiple files at a time with some of them being 40mb large. Problem is it takes quite sometime to open the large files.
What can i do to improve the performance of opening and working with larger files? Would adding more ram dramticaly improve it? If not, i would go about buying a new i7 cpu.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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
Dim PT1(2) As Double

All my keywords are associated with synonyms to avoid having to add several keyword each time for the same concept / meaning.
I don't know why and when, but all these synonyms that where initially not dsiplayed in my keyword list are now visible and my very well organized keyword list is now a total mess where I can't easily find my way.
I looked for something in the preference, but I'm unable to get back to the original configuration where the synonyms are not displayed in the keyword list.
I think I have erased my template folder. So setting up new drawing has been a problem. Can I load a new template folder?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgrading to ACA 2014. I have set my trusted locations, my file path, the startup suite, and the system variable to load acad.lisp on startup. Most of my lisp routines load, but not all. I still have my ACA 2011 loaded, all settings are applied as required, yet I do not have the same issue with the same lisp routines. I have to reload my lisp routines for every drawing.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCad 2011 and am not seeing the bubble notifying when an xref needs to be reloaded. I do see the notification alert in the taskbar immediately after saving the xref, but do not see the bubble with the link to reload. XREFNOTIFY is set to 2. Thought XNOTIFYTIME might have worked but I don't know how to use it as typing it in the command line in AutoCad doesn't work. Also tried (setenv "XNOTIFYTIME" "#") but typing that in the command line doesn't work either.

Is there any way at all to explode all block references in a drawing so that basically all block references no longer exist and they're just sat in their relevant layers.
In short... exploded :p
But I mean one way to get ALL of them.
I've been asked to create several drawings using one external reference which contains doors, bund walls, lighting etc. My question is how do I take this external reference and create several new drawings when I cant even turn layers on or off once I have inserted it onto my new page?

I wanted to label the points (stored in txt file) using the lisp file ascpoint.lsp; This requires to build a block with 4 attribute values,But how to ensure that there is no conflict between the labels of the coordinates represented in the 4 attributes? They may overlap depending on the number of characters of the value of each attribute (coordinate).

It happens often that a sketch has redundand points or open loops.
I don't want to run the sketch doctor to clean it up every sketch I create.
In the attached avi you can see the few steps that I use to create a sketch. I don't understand why at the end it has problems.
Here is what's happening:
When I open more than one drawing the second drawing that I open does not show (but is opened) I see the first drawing that was already open. If I open a third drawing, the same thing happens the first drawing shows ( but the second and third are both open).
Is this something to do with changing the Quick View Drawings Order?
Everytime I try to open my saved drawing, it just opens autocad 2012 with drawing1. I've been working on this drawing for weeks, and have saved and opened it many times without problem, and was working on it this morning and saved it again. Now, i've come back and it will no longer open. I can open other saved dwg files no problem. I've tried renaming the .bak file as a .dwg but that still won't work.

Within Inventor you can specify grid references around the border. eg A-F along the top and 1-5 on the vertical. Can this be done with AutoCAD 2011????

I have a jpg file that I needed to apply some transparency to and saved it as a png file. I now want to delete the jpg file from the folder but it's being referenced in several drawings, andI don't know which ones. Is there a way to reverse the function of Reference Manager (perhaps with a different app), i.e. find all the drawing files that reference my jpg file?
I'm having is that this is happening with a dynamic block. I don't know how it got this way...some 'genius' in my office went into this file and screwed something up, and saved it...so now I'm left with the task of fixing it.
When I go into the block, it opens as a regular drawing, with a dynamic block inside of it...as opposed to opening in the block editor. I just need to know how to get this back to the way it should be, without having to redraw the entire thing from scratch. I made a few scrap-copies of the drawing to fool around with and I can't find a solution. I tried deleting the block and purging it, I tried exploding it, and I tried saving it directly from the block editor...nothing worked.
I have a drawing that will not open the objectscale window (annotative scale add/delete). I either select from the right-click menu, or type in objectscale, and nothing happens. I opened a new drawing and the function worked fine in that one, just not in my existing drawing...

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I made a shop drawing of an assembly, which is very complex and took a great deal of time to complete. It has 3 sheets and a bunch of different views and information already on the drawing.
Now the thing is I took the assembly and made it an iassembly; but I did this in another file so I wouldnt screw up all the work I did before. Now I realize that I dont have the links to the shop drawing that I wish I did.
how to link the shop drawing to the new iassembly model?

View 5 Replies View Relatedwhen I open a drawing that's missing an shx file I get a dialog box (see attached). I put a check mark in the "always perform current choice" item and select the "Specify a replacement for each shx file". I assume this replaces the missing shx file with the default shx file. But if I send the drawing to someone else they get the same message. Did the shx file not get replaced or do I need to do something further?
