Everytime I create an animation with a motion path or 3D navigation method, regardless of render settings and sky background turned on as well as final gather, the sky background always comes out black. Is this suppose to be this way? This is unacceptable for presentations of buildings.

When I publish a set of drawings in the background, the AutoCAD app keeps stealing focus of my open windows for each sheet that is processed. This seems to defeat the publish in background option. This was not an issue with 2008.

Is there any options for Xref files and/or attributes to screen down or fade down other than changing its color to gray?

No matter what I change the viewport or model space background color to my rendered image comes up with a black background. How do I change it to white so I'm not using all the toner on the printer?

How do you change this?
I am trying to use a lisp that will turn on a background mask on selected mleaders. I found the attached lisp here [URL]. it works good except the mask border offset factor is set to 1.5. I need the offset to be 1.0. When I look thru the lisp code it says the default is 1.0 but can be changed.
how I can use the lisp and get mask offset factor to be 1.0?

The light gray that I can't seem to change, is suboptimal for me.
Is there a system variable or some other method to change the background color when using fields? It makes reading text very difficult. I realize I can turn off background for fields, but I don't want to do that. I want to change the background to a darker grey so one still knows it's a field but easier to read.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am just wondering how is possible to set up a Multileader style that creates text with a background mask.
I have been trying to get this feature in the Multileader style manager and I could not find it in order to avoid to set up background mask every time I create a Multileader
How do I change the background to black instead of white?
And how do I drag the toolbars to the sides (vertically) instead of the top of my screen (horizontally)?
In AutoCAD 2012 or 2013, can I set MText to default to any or all of the following conditions:
1. background mask = Yes
2. background mask = drawing background color
3. black outline around the background mask "box"
Actually We are trying AutoCAD 2010 and i have a question about multileader i cannot find in the manual.we are used to set a bright background mask under our text (including Mtext, Qleader, Dimensions) this way the printed text can be seen much better in dark area.
Now i'm am upgrading from AutoCAD 2007 and discovering Multileader (and i cannot find the Qleader button on the ribbon) so i conclude the new "standard is multileader", this is annoying because i cannot find anywhere how to put text mask background inside text in mleader. any option available? i would like to begin to use this function, but the text background is mandatory here.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI´ve a problem with rendering. The background-color gets mixed with the object. I´ve already reinstalled Autocad but it does n´t fixes my problem. What could be the problem?
It looks like this:
It should look like this:
If I create one MTEXT object with the Background Mask set to Yes, then COPY it to several locations, and lastly edit the text for each one, does the width of the bounding box have to be adjusted for the width on each individual peice of MTEXt, or is there an "autofit" option?
The Background Masks are either too narrow or too wide on the copied items.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to animate and render a 30 second video of something similar to the attached assembly. I have been using Inventor Studio to apply animations to the components, render them as full frame AVI (800 MB files), and compress them with Sony Vegas Pro free trial (~120 MB).
The attached assembly is a simplified example and took me around three hours to model, constraints, animate, and render from scratch. Normally, the boxes are constantly starting and stopping and moving at different velocities. Defining distances and times is cumbersome especially since I need to be aware of the boxes' positions relative to each other so they do not appear to move at different speeds or overlap.
I think a solid modeling program might not be the best tool to animate loose components sitting on a conveyor belt. Inventor slows down and occasionally crashes when I get up to 40 or 50 boxes stopping and starting and moving at different velocities. I am inclined to think that 10 or 15 animated conveyor belts moving boxes with a coefficient of friction would be near impossible on my machine (modeling the belts similar to a track on a tank or a chain and sprocket, also constantly starting and stopping and moving at different velocities).
I haven't played with Showcase, 3ds Max Design, or Navisworks Simulate. Would it be worthwhile to try any of these to animate and generate videos?
I have prepared an animation which is 50 seconds long. Now, i just want to render that animation, but i couldn't.
The problem is that if i select "Entire Animation" option for the time range, and click the "Render" button, i obtain just an image rendered (1 frame) and if i try to write the time range manually by selecting the "Specified Time Range" option, i've realized that it is not allowed to specify a value greater than 30 secs. When i write "30.1" for instance, the forecolor of the input box turns red, and a message appears if i click the "Render" button, saying "Invalid Expression!"
"Help" says, "You can adjust any value in the input box.", however.
I've solved the problem by making two seperate animations and merging them by using an other video editing software, but i didn't satisfy the topic. Is there a limitation due to "something" or am i doing something wrong?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I plot to paper from TV2012, I'm good with monochrome - black lines, white background - awesome.
I would *like*, however, to plot a few things to PDF, but retain the view I have on my display - I.E., lines/labels of various colors and a BLACK background. I've been poking around for a bit, and if there's a way to make that setting, I'm no finding it. Everything I try has gotten me colored lines/labels on a white background.
