AutoCAD 2010 :: Sheet Set DST (DBL) File Locking When Accessed Across WAN Accelerator
Feb 21, 2013
Except for the minor/temporary glitch back in 2009, we have had very good luck with Riverbed/Steelhead devices for accelerating DWG file access over a MPLS WAN connection.
When accessing Sheetset (DST) files on a remote server across the WAN, a DBL file appears alongside the DST and from that point on, the remote user has excluside R/W access to the DST file which prevents any other user from accessing the sheet set concurrently.
On the LAN that is local to the server, this problem never exists until the DST file is accessed in any of several remote locations.

I have an issue with Sheet Set Manager Locking the .dst file to one user, others can only open the file read only.
I am working on a network that uses Linux.
I have been using sheetset manager for several years and think its great but this causes a problem on large projects that need to have multiple users.
The below is an interesting link that i have recently become aware of but it doesnt say whether this fixed the issue or not.

I have this problem logged with Autodesk but I have not got anything definitive.

I am able to access(list & modify) custom sheet properties within a sheet set via .GetCustomPropertyBag. How are the OOTB sheet properties accessed?

I have a file where I can't save, because it says its being accessed by another session. The problem is no one has it open. I did a save as and tried changing the name of the original file or move the file with no luck. I need to keep the file name for purpose of company file structure.

We are seeing some issues with some users regarding what looks like a timeout in licensing?Basically our users are opening drawings, making amendments and trying to save, however, when the user or users try to save the drawing. It will state that the drawing is being accessed by another session.
We have removed all instances of the DWL's to see if we can resave but the only option we can use is to save them as *.tmp files.I do know that we have replaced the server in the office that is now experiencing this problem, previously they weren't having any issues.
Any good place to start looking into this as it seems there are too many things to consider and we would like to pinpoint the issue sooner rather than later..I want to be able to quickly identify if AutoCAD is at fault or the server.

I want to pin all our sheets in the lower left corner. We are using a parametric sheet with all the sheet sizes we need built in. The title block is placed in the lower right corner. Is there a way to keep the lower left corner in place (pin) and the tiltle block moving when changing sheet size?

I am using AutoCAD 2012. I’ve come to realize that my Sheet Set command won’t work, as I cannot get any sheet sets to open. When I select a sheet and try and open it, nothing happens at all.
Also, I did get an error message when trying to create a new sheet set, “Unable to create sheet set file: *filename*”

I had been using AutoCAD 2012 x64 w/SP1 for quite a few months with no issues. A week or two ago I went to open a drawing and the program locked up. I tried opening AutoCAD via the desktop shortcut and directly from acad.exe and it locks up immediately. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2012, but the issue persisted. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling without any service packs. I normally don't use Windows Update and hadn't downloaded any updates prior to these issues, but I did it to see if it would fix the issue and it did not. I uninstalled 2012 and installed AutoCAD 2011 x64 only to have the same exact issue. I have an old version, AutoCAD 2002 that works fine, but my job always receives drawings not saved in 2000, and my convert tool sometimes fails to convert them to a version I can open. A friend of mine pointed me to this thread here: URL.... I am using Windows 7 x64 on a somewhat up to date PC that I built myself.

For some reason my computer is the only one in my office that is doing this. Whenever something is put on the def points layer I am unable to select it afterwards.
Such things have been:
1) The viewport in paperspace. The view cannot be resized but I can still click inside the viewport and work without problem.
2) Any line, block, etc made or put on that layer.
From what I've read others are saying is your layer 0 locked or frozen? It is not. Also in my layers manager nothing is turned off to make it any different from any other layer.

Does Autodesk 360 cloud storage work in any way shape or form similar to a Vault whereby users can check out, lock, and then check in designs? Can Vault be used in conjunction with Autodesk 360, or does Autodesk 360 eliminate or replace the need for Vault?
What's the best way for individuals working at multiple sites to work without overwriting each others' data or having save collisions?

We have a client that wants to recieve AutoCAD documents for the construction documents that our office has prepared. In the past, on other projects with this client, they have altered our AutoCAD drawing files and reissued them out to bid. This is becoming a legal matter, but I am asking, is there a way that the AutoCAD drawing file can be saved that will 'lock' the file so that it can not be altered?

1. How can I lock a file in dwg so that when it is saved, it is password protected?
2. If I want to SEND that file in PDF form to a customer, how can I password protect or lock it so the customer can not edit it?

Randomly, a few times a week, I get an error in AutoCAD LT 2012 when trying to save a dwg file. It says
"Unable to save to drawing {filename} as it is being accessed by another session. Drawing saved to {filename}.tmp." The file then turns into Read Only and says
"Drawing file is write protected."
We have to do a Save As to a different filename in order to regain functionality.

I have the same problem reported here : [URL]
Fresh installation of Windows Small Business 2011 standard
Disabled offline and cache on shared directories
Removed the router (server and computers in "standalone", just joined by a gigabit switch 5 ports, 2m of cables between the compure and the server)
Installed latest evaluation of Autocad LT 2013
No Antivirus; firewall settings by default
The user is the only one who access to the autocad files.
Still the problem.
The user does want work on the network anymore unless the problem is solved, which is annoying because only the server has a backup routine.

I am trying to export each sheet in an Excel file to an separateTXT files.
I currently have code to read each cell in a sheet, but unfortunately some of the Excel sheets have in excess of 5000 cells and it is taking too long to read. So I am switching to another method.
The program will check dates of TXT files and XLS file to make sure TXT files are current (if not, open and recreate TXT files).Then read the TXT files (much faster).
Where I am getting stuck is 2 places -
Get the names of each sheet in the excel file (not always a known name)
Save each sheet as separate TXT file.
Here is condensed code so far without error checking, etc -
(defun E2TXT (FileName /)
(if (and (setq XLfile (findfile FileName)) (vl-file-systime XLfile) (setq XLapp (vlax-get-or-create-object "Excel.Application")))

I want to reference an idw sheet from one file into another idw file.
Purpose:To duplicate details from one drawing into another drawing without copying sheets from drawing to drawing.
This prevents changing the annotations of the original detail in files that have the same detail that someone may change.

When I try to select the folder where my drawings are located SSM is only showing me 2 of the 3 drawings located in that folder. I have not had any problems with other folders. I even tried moving the drawing file to a different folder, but SSM still does not add it to the sheet set list. I have tried re-booting and nothing.

I need to name about 200 PDFs with the sheet title of that dwg, without having to manually naming each one. Niether the file name nor the layout tab have the current sheet title. So how can i either rename the layout tab with the sheet title or name the PDF with the sheet title??
This is in AutoCAD P&ID but a solution in regular CAD is useful.
Script?
Batch process?
Import/Export?

I am having an issue with my Sheet Sets keeping the settings I have entered after closing them out.
For example, I create a new Sheet Set (from Existing Drawings) add my layouts to it, organize them, then I right-click on the Sheet Set name and select Publish > Sheet Set Publish Options
In the dialogue box that opens I change four things:
1. Location: I point it to the network location where I want the DWFs stored.
2. File Format: change from DWFx to DWF (this is due to a limitation with our printing equipment)
3. Type: changed to Single-sheet file
4. Merge Control: changed to Lines Merge
It seems to maintain all of these setting until I close the sheet set out (change drawings, close C3D, etc.) Then when I reopen the Sheet Set later, it will revert the File Format back to DWFx and the Merge Control back to Lines Overwrite.
The reply given did not answer the issue but was mistaken for use with the plot dialogue box, which this is not about. The issue we are having is the sam as above with the "lines merge" ALWAYS reverts back to "lines overwrite" after the sheet set is closed and re-opened. I have seen a thread suggesting that If the PC3 files are read only this may be the problem, but as a cad manager in even the smallest of firms, having the pc3 files read only is just about a must to keep from accidental changes from occuring. Is this the reason? I dont see what conection the pc3 files would have with the settings in the sheet set manager. (all of our pc3 plotter setting are set to "lines merge" in each of the printer settings as well) so, where and why it keeps reverting back to "lines overwrite".
