One of our AutoCAD stations handles Grips differently than the others.That station does not have the new Rectangular Grip at the midpoint of a Polyline's Line segments.
When I open one of his drawings, the Polylines DO have the Rectangular Grips at midspans.I haven't been able to find a Setting that controls this.
can't select multiple objects with the grip, it work previously until someone change the variables.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a dynamic block with stretch points. I used the tester in the block editor and all works fine, but when I insert the block into a drawing, the grips for the stretch action are in a completely different place...I don't mean a different place on the block, but a different place in the drawing...way out there. so if I go into the block editor for the block while I'm in the drawing...the parameters have now moved way out of the way also, in the block...but if I actually open up the block itself and then go into the block editor, all the parameters are where i placed them in the first place.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen using grips to move a multileader source block with the attachment defined as insertion point (the insertion point being the center of the source block) the grip point moves off of the block if the move is to the left of the multileaders end point. When the drawing is reopened the blocks move from where they were placed to the off insertion point grips. A screen shots jpg and a drawing file are attached

Ortho - ON
Polar - OFF
A line is drawn parellel to the X-axis. What I have been doing all of my career to lengthen this line, by say 3 inches, is select the line, pick the grip I want to lengthen, drag that grip in the general X direction, type the value 3 at the command promt, and hit enter. Voila, done.
Now what AutoCAD is doing, is bringing the grip (yup, ortho is stll on) to exactly where my curser is, totally disregarding the ortho setting AND the value in typing at the comand prompt.
If I place a dimension and have text above and below the dimension line (using X), and then grip edit the dimension text to move it for space/clarity on plans, the text above and below the line will mysteriously move closer to the line. If I have backgrounds applied to the text, which I normally do, the backgrounds will cover the line. Even without the background, it looks odd next to other dimensions that were not grip edited.

When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.
This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?
I need to send 2D drawings for laser cutting. Opti is the laser software..My issue is that the laser cuts to each grip and gives the cut metal a serrated looking edge.
Removing/simpliying the lines into fewer (microscopic!) segements or being able to adjusts the number of grips.
I am using autocad 2013 primarily and other employees are using 2010. I am saving my drawings as 2010 and for me there are no issues. On the other hand people using 2010 are having objects missing in the drawing. All layers are turned on and all thawed. The primary objects missing are AEC objects. Is there a switch to show or hide these object?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSince we switched to AutoCAD 2010 we have been having trouble with things disappearing when we plot to PDF. I can not find a pattern with the things that are missing (i.e., area on page, layer, linetype, etc.). When I do a plot preview everything appears the way it should and then after the PDF is made items are missing. Typically after a couple of trys of rePDFing the drawing everything appears and works fine. I am using Vanilla AutoCAD 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe have AutoCAD 2010 installed on 5 machines in our office. These machines work and save files to our server. One of the workstations always gets a pop up that it is missing reference files. No other workstations are running into this issue. We've tried having multiple users log into this specific computer but they all encounter the same error.
Another thing (which may be related to this error) the drawings that do open up on this computer don't line up. For instance we have a field in the lower right hand corner wiith text such as job name/number, tech who worked on the drawing etc. One all other computers this information lines up perfectly but on this one it doesn't as well os other lines on this machine don't line up properly.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI receive an error message upon loading a particular file and I would like to rectify the problem
The error message is the one that talks about TS13717811 knowledge base virus. It says it's looking for Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
I did a search on the pc for acad.vlx, didn't find it, it's also only one file, and when I open the drawing, all the text is there and works. Also to further prove that it wasn't the virus I copied everything out, and placed it in to a new drawing and the error message doesn't appear on the new file.
So I believe it's not a the virus. But something specific to that file, now once I open the drawing I am unable to find any errors with the drawing also I am unable to find what is pointing to these language packs. There is no errors in STYLE, also after doing a PURGE and an AUDIT I am still unable to find the error.
So what I am after is #1 confirmation that my assumption about the virus is correct and #2 how to locate what is pointing to these language packs so I can manually remove it, as obviously the purge was unable to do that.
Also looking for the same to find SHX files that are unable to be found, cause no errors and yet are unable to be found or purged.
I've been working with a firm for 6 weeks now, and had no major AutoCAD problems for the first 5 weeks. We're running AutoCAD 2010 on my machine, and it crashes quite often when I close drawings, which is quite annoying. But last week after opening a series of drawings to print some stuff for the boss, and CAD crashing after every 1 or 2 prints, I got the message:
A display driver file (.hdi) is missing or has been corrupted. The program will be closed.
This problem may be caused by missing .hdi files in the following location:
C:program filesAutoCAD Architecture 2012drv
I ran a repair, then did a reinstall, and when neither of those worked I just uninstalled and reinstalled the whole program. I still got the error message, but I had opened AutoCAD Architecture and was using that instead for a bit and saw Autodesk do an update in the background. So I booted up AutoCAD 2010 and it was working again so I guess it fixed the problem. I used it for a few more days then yesterday I had to open and print another series of drawings for the boss and it crashed again after every one, as usual, and when I sat back down and tried to open up a drawing to work on it I got the same error message again. Frustrated and angry, I switched over to AutoCAD Architecture and imported my Classic setting and used that for the next day. But this morning I had to open and print 3 more drawings for the boss and Architecture crashed after every one, then it started giving me the same error that regular AutoCAD has been giving me about the missing .hdi file. I copied the drv folder from a co-worker's computer and replaced mine with the working one, but neither version of AutoCAD is working again.
So I ask, what do I do now? I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling AutoCAD every week because of these crashes and missing .hdi files. I need a real fix, something to fix the constant crashes and missing files. Sometimes I have to open multiple drawings to pull blocks or whatever from an older drawing, and I can't risk CAD crashing after I close these drawings and me possibly losing some work on the file I am actually working on at the time. this is making me way less productive at work spending all this time trying to get AutoCAD to work.
The AutoCAD deadline-sensor is working well this week as this Project near completion.
The closer we get to the deadline, the more AutoCAD slows down.
My UCS Icon has disappeared from Modelspace.

I just upgraded our office from 2010 (architecture package) to 2011 and I was very excited to use the new hatch improvements, but whenever I try to use the hatch command I don't get the contextual tab. I tried playing around with HPDLGMODE, and I can get the old style dialog box, but I was really looking forward to having all that on the ribbon. I looked in the CUI and I found the hatch creation one, and it's empty. I also noticed that many other contextual tabs are empty. I think maybe it's because of some setting I had it import from my previous release maybe?
We have multiple seats where I work (I'm in charge of everything computer related) and mine is the only one where this happens. Everyone one else that I set up has the contextual tab.
Should I just reinstall it without pulling in my settings and re-build my ribbon the way I had it?
With 2011 I have noticed my DWG icons in explorer are displaying the generic icon and not the new DWG icon.I have gone through the Folder options and File Types tab to try to reassign it but no luck.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with displaying the blockrefattribute in the propertypalette. They are missing.
I had the problem with an AutoCAD-version on another pc before. I solved it with reinstalling which takes quiet a long time.
Now I have the same problem with Civil2012 which is newly installed on a pc with autocad map 2009. AutoCAD Map 2012 and Civil are running without problems but on this pc we mostly use the "Civil as AutoCAD"-version. This is fully configured to our company settings but suddenly the blockattributes are not shown in the propertypalette anymore.
It doesn't matter if the blockref attributes are constant or dynamic or which blockref is active, non of the attributes are shown.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe just installed AutoCAD 2012 on a machine that was running 2006. (32 bit on Windows XP Pro).
We opened a file that was created in 2006 and the Text is missing from the file. I tried to create a new file and when I start typing text, nothing happens.
I installed the service pack update and hot fix and still doesn't work. I've tried re-booting and nothing happens. I tried to go in and migrate the tools from 2006 but it was already done.
note, that this has also been installed on another computer and everything worked fine.
Am publishing dwgs / saving as .pdfs / Preview looks good, but when I plot, one line of text appears as series of dots and the error msg from Adobe is close to "Cannot find ArialMT font, some text may not format or print correctly...."
My co-workers have no problem publishing these same dwgs from their workstations, however. Also, there are several text objects / boxes in the dwg, and they all print fine 'except' for the one.
Restarting etc., doesn't make any difference. Neither does plotting in Preview or Draft and so on.
Here's my problem: I have a customized plot style table "SK.ctb". I have it saved both in the appropriate folders on my computer and in a shared folder on the network. Usually when I am working in a file and open the plot window, my plot table is available in the list at the upper right "Plot style table (pen assignments)".
Right now I am working in a drawing that was sent to me by another firm. They of course didn't send me their pen assignment tables, not that I really care as I would rather edit the layer colors if necessary, but use my own. The problem is that in the plot window it is only showing their plot styles - none of mine! Theirs are all listed as missing, but I can't get it to even look for the plot tables I usually use.
When I search an autoCAD file from windows 7, it only shows me the backup file and missed the DWG file. I’m using Window 7 professional, service pack 1, 64-bit operating system; AutoCAD2012. Are there any way to change the seetings so I can see the DWG file?

We are currently using AutoCad 2010 in combination with Cadworx 2010 and still encounter the "Missing Integer in Restore File" error randomly. Once this error is encountered, the drawing file is rendered virtually useless.
