Is there a way to hand off all the rendering to a different computer? AutoCad is installed on my desktop, but it would be great to offload all the rendering to a server that has lots of CPU power. Is this even possible?

why i cannot change the color of the background when rendering? It is always black, and i cannot attached or make new material, if need to attach jpeg or new texture on my drawing, cannot create new material. what should i do? im currently using autocad for mac 2012.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy am i seeing all black when i rendered my southwest or southeast view, without setting up a camera. But other ppl of my peeps r seeing in colour and materails. Also, my other problem is when i put on realistic view, i m seeing grey-ish blocks instead of "real" materials. In my previous assignment, I did see the "Real" materials when i set it on realistic view. However i did try to reset to default for my realistic veiw, but still it did not seem to be working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to render a specific camera view for a specific mm lens. My issue starts when I select the camera and the pop up viewing window shows a particaluar camera view, I anticipate this as being the correct viewing lens as set in the camera properties. I then right-click on my camera and set the current view to the camera. This shows the outline of the camera FOV and beyond, which ends up being the final render plot. I know I can use 3dsmax for a more accurate depiction of what I want, but I like to proof my images before sending them over to 3dsmax. Which is the correct FOV as stated in the camera properties? Also, is this the same view as my render?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a couple of models (all using the same "stage" for rendering) and I split the models up into their own separate dwgs but retaining the stage area for each. What I'm having an issue with is rendering the current view in model space. What's happening is that I'll either get an all black (meaning nothing was rendered) or I'll get a rendered piece of the stage where a model once was set up, but not the current view for which I want (where the model is set now). So basically, the rendered view is pointing somewhere else. I'm not setting any of the camera views however to render; I've been using just the current view so I can get exactly what I want. I just need to figure out "how" to get it to render what I'm seeing on screen (consistently) and not something off to the side, or a shot of the wall or floor, or the old location of previous renders, etc. Sometimes switching back to 2D wire frame will fix the problem, but now it's not. I've tried setting the camera view current and that isn't working either. It still renders what was an "old" rendered view--like it's stuck in memory. Closing and re-opening CAD doesn't fix the issue. This is very frustrating. All I'm trying to get is a WYSIWYG rendered view.

I've noticed when I open a drawing at my home computer, the font styles, dimention styles, etc are not carried over with the drawing.
best way to transfer a drawing to another machine and keep all the included formats, hatches, and everything else in the drawing?
For some reason my co-worker has a problem opening my dwgs. When he opens them, he is seeing some layers fade out---only on the Layout's, not the Model. Everything from my Titleblock, to the actual Drawing inside the viewport.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDon't know if I need to check some other setting or this is just the way it is. When I use PUBLISH to plot a set of drawings, I can't do anything else on the computer. If I try to type in any other software, it is interrupted and the cursor moved away from the software. I am able to type maybe a couple letters in any software, then the cursor goes away, put cursor back, type 2 letters, repeat, interrupt, cursor back, 2 letters etc..

I want to copy my named WORKSPACE to another computer.
These computers are not connected.
I'd have to copy to a CD.
I,m running 2012 LT. Whenever I go to select a point on a region or move an object to a regions vicinity the computer hangs. Exploding the region relieves the problem. Large drawings or anything else don't seem to cause a problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to migrate settings from Autocad 2011 to Autocad 2012 on 2 different computers.

If i open multiple AutoCAD applications in one computer, am I utilizing two network lincenses? We have a few network lincenses to share with the whole team. However, it's more efficient for me and avoid application crashes, I typically open two AutoCAD windows in two monitor (which are connecting to one computer).
Since we don't have enough network lincenses, my company suggest to open only one application per computer only.
However, rendering seems to be hit or miss with me. Sometimes autocad will render objects and then, all of a sudden, rendering produces a blank black screen.

Is this supported by Autodesk, and will installing both products create any issues?

p.s im using AutoCAD 2010
I have seen some very impressive renderings on this site, and would like to give it a try using Autocad 2010. I have done basic renderings before, well mostly shading, just interested how people are getting renderings that look so realistic in Autocad.

2007 mac book pro/ mac autocad 2011 2012
I've seen this issue raised by others with no solution to the problem. Here's what I tried:
-lower render output resolution and size
-make new simpler drawing with no materials (same problem)
-open file in MAC 2011 (same problem)
-reinstall autocad MAC 2012
-copy paste drawing into new file
-verify that default lighting and sun are off
I haven't figured out how to restore 2011 or 2012 settings to default.
I've been using AutoCAD for about eight years now for architectural support in 2D. Lately drawing models for my smaller parts and rendering to get the message across. Problem is rendering. I can never remove the segmenting of arcs and circles even in the highest of setting. Does AutoCAD have fundamental problems with rendering solids? I've used 3rd party programs for rendering also with the same results.
Example of my setting:
Viewres = 20000
Facetres= 10
Whiparc = 1
segments in a polyline curve = 30000
when I was test-rendering a scene where you are supposed to be able to look into nearby rooms through glass walls. But the glass reflected the surroundings like å mirror. In some tries i could barely see some furniture in the other room, so the transparency isn't completely gone.
I use a solid glass material, at first i thought the material's reflection value was too high, but it was set on five, I tried to reduce it to 1, but the rendering came out just the same.
I have tried with different lighting options, but again... the same miserable result.
Translating when rendering only seems to use 1 cpu core and takes 90% of the render time, so having a quad core processor running a view that takes 10 min render only gives me a 5% decrease in time over a dual core...
I don't think you can really call Inventor rendering a multi core app?
i have a problem when rendering 3d objects having arcs. the arc in the rendered photo is not smooth and round !

Ideally I would like to see each part of this cabinet to have "different grain pattern" (in real life there's no two pieces of wood the same). Is this possible?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhich software application can I use to create a rendering of an elevation from just 2 dimensional dwg plans and elevations? I was interning in an office where the developer hired a render to develop illustrations of our design. The render said he only required our first floor and second floor plans, and the elevation we wanted rendered. The turn around time was very quick (24 hours). I was surprised as building a model takes me a long time. The cornice was very detailed, it would have taken much longer to build a model.
