AutoCAD 2010 :: Relative Path Cannot Be Assigned?

Feb 7, 2011

I am using autocad 2011.  I am trying to attach a drawing as a xreg with a relative path.  It keeps giving me relative path can not be assigned.  I have tried saving the dwg.  I have even started a new drawing and tried again but it keeps giving me the same error.  All my drawing are in the same folder on a network drive.  Another employee can open the drawing file from his computer and attach the same file fine.  when He does it I can see the relative path.  Is there a setting that I am missing?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Change Xref From Full Path To Relative Path?

Jul 11, 2012

I have many drawings that were created with the xref's as full path and I need them to be relative path. I would just go in and reatch them as relative path but the drawings are complete and there are different layers frozen in each one.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Converting Xrefs With Relative Path To Full Path?

Nov 12, 2012

I have found a way to convert FULL to RELATIVE using XRP2004.lsp but not the other way round. Main reason I want to do this is to change the Relative to Full, move the drawing and then revert them back to Relative.

AutoCAD 2010 :: XREF Changes From Full To Relative Path After Saving Drawing

Feb 29, 2012

Any variables that would cause my XREF paths to change from Full Path to Relative Path when I save a drawing?

This is something that just started happening recently and has me completely at a loss. I haven't installed any patches or hot fixes recently and nothing else has changed that I'm aware of.

AutoCad :: Relative Path For References?

Mar 2, 2012

Whenever I use "attachimage" within a drawing, I specify relative path. I would assume that if I open the file on another computer, AutoCAD would be able to find the image as long as it is in the same folder as the DWG file. This is never the case. I always get an error message stating that the reference is missing and it asks if I want to update its location. What good is specifying a relative path then? I'm using AutoCAD 2010.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Relative File Path For DXE?

Jul 6, 2012

I am trying to write a standard scrpit file for a data extraction using -EATTEXT. I plan for others to use this script file on different computers, so I will not be able to put in a full file path; it will need to remain relative. Unfortunately, AutoCAD will not recognize a relative file path entered into the command line for -EATTEXT.

AutoCAD .NET :: Specifying Location Of Images For Ribbon (Relative Path)

Apr 16, 2012

I'm trying to specify the image source for ribbon images using relative syntax but having no luck.

If I use this:

button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\folderA\folderB\image.png") );

it works just fine. But it relies on absolute syntax, which is daft since it forces the code to be installed in a specific directory (or the images).

I've tried 

button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"images\image.png", UriKind.Relative) );
and
button.LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"images/image.png", UriKind.Relative) ); 

and I've tried placing the images subdirectory with the png file relative to the assembly, to the project source folder and even relative to AutoCAD itself - and in none of the cases do I get an image. I'd like the images subfolder to be relative to the compiled assembly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 XREF Via Relative Path Failure

Jul 27, 2012

Periodically, when I try to create an XREF using the Relative Path option, C3D will tell me that it can't use the relative path.  But if I then close the drawing and reopen it, the command works just fine. why C3D sometimes fails to do this, or why closing and reopening the drawing fixes the problem.

Never saw this problem before C3D 2012.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Renaming Relative Path Xrefs?

Oct 12, 2011

I have set up a master set of dwg. files we use to create our construction documents.  The files consist of a master file that xrefs base files.  All of our files are named using the project # first. (i.e. 2011001c.dwg).  I have set up the master set using x's to replace the numbers.

Here is how it works:

XXXXXXXc.dwg (master file) relative path xref's the following files.
XXXXXXXlw.dwg
XXXXXXXvlw.dwg
XXXXXXXeg
XXXXXXXfg
XXXXXXXtitleblock

note:  all of these files are saved in the same folder.

I am trying to find a way to keep the xref paths working when I copy the files to a project folder and rename the files using the actual job # insead of the x's as place holders.  As it is now, when I change the drawing name the reference is lost and I have to manually change all of the xref paths in the xref manager.  Is there a command, program, or lisp routine than can change the file names and update the paths automatically.

Photoshop :: Droplet: Save As JPEG Relative Path...

Nov 12, 2008

I can't seem to get my droplet working here... using CS3 on PC. Seems like I always hit this problem and have to solve it differently each time.

Anyway, dead simple goal: Create a droplet that converts any file to a JPEG and saves it back to the original file's directory.

if I drag a .gif file from my desktop on to the droplet, it should save a .jpg file with the same name to my desktop. If I drag a file named "testfile.gif" from a folder named "Test", it should create a file named "testfile.jpg" to the "Test" folder. etc, etc.

I have recorded an Action that has a single event: Export. I created that event by using the "Save for Web & Devices" function. The event includes the various JPEG formatting info AS WELL AS a save destination ("In: C:Documents...")

I have tried to create my droplet every which way - specifically:

1) With "Save and Close" selected and "Override Action "Save As" Commands" unchecked

2) With "Save and Close" selected and "Override Action "Save As" Commands" checked

I have also deleted the droplet .exe file before changing this setting (so as to get a "fresh" version).

Nothing works. My .gif files ALWAYS end up in the directory specified in the Action.

Illustrator :: Linked Files Via Relative Path Not Found?

Apr 18, 2013

I have linked files in a realtive path /sheets/ in my adboe ai file. We are generating 10,000's of images and placing them in the /sheets/ folder. The naming scheme is the same.
 
However when I share this project with a friend over dropbox.  ai + /sheets/ folder. When he opens it up he's getting a ton of errors about the files not being found.
 
Does illustrator ignore linked file locations if the path isn't ABOSULUTE?  Or if the newly generated images are overwritting the previous ones?
 
How can I fix this because we are looking at 10,000's of large image reaplcments that will take DAYS of mannual labor?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Macros For Moving Text Based On Relative Coordinate

Oct 25, 2012

I am using AutoCad 2012, with CADDUCT. On my runs of duct that go vertical, I like to stack my tag numbers beside the riser in order, so our installers can easily identify the order without a ton of section views. I am trying to figure out a macro that will do numerous things. Since my tags come out at different rotation angles, I would like to do the following commands.

Rotate object text "TAG #" to 0 degrees

move object text "TAG #" to "Snap from" & "snap insert" 6" below the tag above it

I want the numbers to align by their insert locations up and down the page, and exactly 6" on center vertically from one another. The tag numbers have a node justified to the center up and down of the text.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Export Coordinates Of Points To Spreadsheet (relative To Origin)

Jul 31, 2012

I’m trying to export from my drawing point X-Y position coordinates to Excel for use in programming a metrology that will measure at these locations.

When I use the EATTEXT command to pull up the data extraction wizard, it will export the positions & extracts the locations to a spreadsheet format. But coordinate numbers I get, seem to be relative to the World USC system & not the origin I align & set in the center.

Yet when I use ID Point, to check positions the coordinates of the points are correct & relative to the center origin. How to get the location coordinates relative to the center USC origin I've located in the center of my part?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Sweep Around A Path

Jun 7, 2013

I have a tunnel profile that I need to sweep around a path. This path is a 3D Polyline but it has arcs and slope associated with it. The sweep command has this automatic banking or twisting to it that just screws everything up. The profile needs to stay perpendicular to the path and the floor of this tunnel needs to remain flat.

I have attached the actual working drawing. It has the profile (which is a simple typical tunnel) and the path all situated.I'm working in AutoCAD 2012 if that really matters.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Xref Search Path

My computer is not searching for the xrefs correctly. Whenever I switch to another job and try to load an xref, the computer searches under the last job I worked on and nothing else. I have several folders listed as search paths but it just seems to be ignoring them. We never used to have this problem and I cannot figure out what has changed.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Attach Image (TIFF) With No Path

May 8, 2012

Autocad 2012

When attach image (tif) with no path. is saved, de image will be saved without a path. dir. Only when we change the image (with RasterCAD) when we now save the drawing the hole path dir. will be saved.

When we used AutoCAD 2006 this will not be the case. The tiff. will stay no path. We move/copy drawing with image to other dir. very often.

-Originel
... dwg/tif

-To-Built
... dwg/tif

-As-Built
.... dwg/tif

Problem is that the image will be saved in the wrong dir. 

-Originel
... dwg/tif

-To-Built
... dwg/tif

-As-Built
.... dwg/tif
