I have a prob with my system in that when I close a drawing with a 3d view in a viewport and reopen it, I lose the 3D view and it flattens out, maintaining the view but losing all perspective. I can easily restore the saved view, but it is bit irritating.
View 4 RepliesMy AutoCAD closes down when closing a drawing (yes I AM selecting the right x). It happends with larger drawings and more often in layouts.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy ACAD 2010 LT crashes about 75% of the time whenever I close a drawing. I’m running Windows 7. System info below:

All updates that I can find have been downloaded and installed.
My AutoCAD 2012 installation has been doing this for a while, but I don't remember it always doing this:
After I close a drawing (if it is the last drawing open), by using either the "close" command or by clicking the "x" on the window, instead of going to the generic gray-stripe background it just shows what the drawing looked like before close. This keeps messing with my head, as I think AutoCAD has just stopped responding.
If you look closely, though, you can see that the "AutoCAD" and "Autodesk" labels appear on the drawing, but I don't immediately notice this because my drawings are more complex than the sample drawing I've attached.
See images below.
However, when I manually resize the application window (either by restoring or maximizing, or by draging the window edge, the application window refreshes to show the proper generic gray-stripe background.

I am losing my dashboard setup when closing drawings/autocad, getting a bit annoying now, having set it back up for the umpteenth time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.
About 50% of the time, I get a crash when closing a drawing. When this happens, I get the following message: "AutoCAD LT Application has stopped working". This has been going on for sometime now and sometimes I am prompted to report the error, sometimes not. Everything shuts down, so if I have several drawing files open, I will loose any changes made unless I do a hard save for each one (which I have gotten used to doing).
I have the same problem with my license of Architectural Desktop 2004. My version of LT is 2011, running Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit.
I am using Inventor 2014. I am receiving an error while closing a drawing. The error says "One or more drawings are being computed and are currently in raster state. The document(s) may be closed and pending updates will resume when the document is reopened.
Do you wish to continue closing?"
The drawing shows outdated views which I tried updating but they do not update. When I am trying to print the drawing, it shows incomplete drawing.
The program shuts down every time I save and close a drawing; this way I am loosing any other drawing that is still open.
I am working on a 64bit Widows7.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit laptop. When I close a drawing just after saving in AutoCAD 2013 64 bit, the program crashes. This will happen with one drawing open, or several. I also had this problem with 2011.
I have been using AutoCAD for 16 years and never had this problem with previous versions on earlier operating systems.
2012 LT about a year old, just recently started shutting off/closing unexpectedly during a drawing command (pline, copy, offset etc...) or when using numeric keys on keyboard. seems like everything else works ok. no error messages. nothing. just dissapears.
View 6 Replies View RelatedQuick one on Dynamic blocks.... we are using Dynamic blocks more and more as a company, we are finding that when in a drawing which contains lots of dynamic blocks, then go into Dynamic Block Editor - amend the block - Then when closing the block Editor to get back into the drawing the drawing goes really slow untill we close it down and restart it.
Is there a setting we need to change OR is there something obvious that we are missing. i.e should we be minimizing the amount of dynamic blocks in our drawings or uncomplicate them?
I am using Autocad 2014 Architecture and have a 3D drawing with approximately 70 surfaces. If I close the drawing and reopen it 10 to 15 of the surfaces has disappeared. What this could be?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to close a drawing that is open on another user's computer, from my computer?
We have a problem with engineers opening a drawing, printing and marking up that drawing, then taking the print to a drafter to make changes to the drawing, but failing to close the electronic drawing file.
Normally, we just call the engineer and ask them to close the drawing. If they were away from their desk, we could just walk over and close the drawing ourselves. Now that's not possible. We have a new security protocol which locks the user's computer after ten minutes of non-use. We each create our own password which we're not supposed to share with others. I just want to be able to log into the server and close a drawing that someone else has open.
I am operating 3D Civil with Windows 7, 64-bit system.
Most of the time when I close a drawing, particularly when I have two or more drawings open, the program closes down with the following message "Autocad Application has stopped working - Windows is collecting more information about the problem"
I then have to restart 3D Civil
I have problem with 3 users from about 75. When using the publish command inAutocad 2010 (1 user) and Civil 3d 2010 (2 users) a temporary copy of the drawing is opened while the particular layout is being published but on completion this temporary copy of the drawing is not being closed. This is leading to problems when a user has lets say 5 drawings open that require publishing. When finished the user has 2 copies of each drawing open and sometimes my select the wrong drawing when making further changes.
I have tried a repair on Autcad but that did not work.
i wanna make a gate leaf opening and closing , is that even possible in autocad 2011 , like an animation , cant find anything on youtube tried to do it with camera etc etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is an annoying change from acad 2007 to acad 2011. Every time I start and end the Mtext command, as the dialog box opens and closes, the screen "shudders", or "jumps" a little. It is hard on my eyes. I have explored the MTEXTFIXED and the MTEXTED commands, but I can't get it to settle down.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I have several drawings open at the same time and have done work to some of them, at the end of the day I just pick the AutoCAD application "close" button (the "X" in the top-right corner of the window) and I'm prompted "Save changes to <drawing>?" for each of the drawings.
Unfortunately, most of the times I do this in AC2011, AutoCAD crashes. The next time I open AutoCAD, it initiates the recover but all the changes have been saved in the *.dwg file.
I know this is not the best way to save and close drawings but it has never been a problem.
Is there a way to prevent losing annotation in drawings if you make a minor change in the model. For example if you change the size of a W beam you lose all the welds and text associated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly simple 3D drawing made in Autocad 2012. It has 3D solids all of the same material type.
I want to import it into a 3D PDF. So far I done the following:-
- I have got Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on a free trail basis.
- Open Autocad drawing in Inventor Fusion 2013.
- Save as .step file
- In Adobe select create new PDF.
- Bring in the step file.
My problem is the 3D drawing appears in the 3D PDF but all colours are lost.
I have the following software on my machine:-
Revit Structural 2012 and 2013
Inventor Fusion 2013
Autocad 2012 and 2013
Navisworks Manage 2012 and 2013
Autocad Sketch book designer 2013
Autocad SHowcase 2013.
Is the problem when the file is 'saved as' in Inventor? Or is the problem within Adobe? I have brought in other .step files as a test and they appear normally, but the problem is I don't know what software was used to create them (the step files came externally).
PS I don't use Inventor normally, but we have it as part of the Plant 3D Suite on our machines, so I don't know if there are settings in Inventor that need to be changed.
I am trying to convert a drawing to PDF but I keep losing the hatch in the conversion. Is this normal? Can the hatch be converted to PDF with the rest of the drawing?
View 3 Replies View Relatedin Inventor I use my own library with different layers, font types, colors, lineweights etc. In Inventor drawing it works well. But after exporting to DWG only colors of different layers stay the same; all fonts, lineweights change to one (maybe some kind of default) font, lineweight.
How could I repair that, I need drawing in DWG to look like the same as in Inventor. I have tried to use "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option and I have created my own configuration, but it did not work... I simply do not understand how it works. If the "Configuration" in DWG file exporting option is the clue -
I have drawing template files created by a former employee that need to have the old company logo removed and replaced in the title block. If I double click on the title block, all information displays, except the graphic for the logo. If I explode it, I lose all the .dwt formatting. How can I replace the logo without losing the formatting of the rest of the drawing template?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCAD 2012 (Electrical). I have a few blocks that I pasted in a drawing with text that is contained in attributes.
I would like to explode these blocks so that I can make some changes to them, but when I do this, I lose the text that is contained in the attributes. After exploding the blocks, I just see the attribute names rather than the text that they originally contained.
I hate to have to re-type all this info. If I could somehow choose to choose to convert the text originally contained in attributes to plain old static text, that would be perfect for me.
we lose our Cross Hairs coming out of view ports, they do retrun a few minutes later.

I have a problem with one of my Inventor DWGs.
It seems that whenever I save the associated model, there is a chance that it ruin the drawing by scattering views, dimensions and sketches randomly.
