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*”
When I use my autoCAD at the office to create a Sheet set file I allways get the message "Unable to Create a sheet Set file". Is there a way correct this problem.I am using AutoCAD 2012 on a network. I have tryed to create sheet set files on my local C: drive and other drives without any luck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe company I work for has a large number of Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts. To reduce the amount of time needed to create both Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts, I use the Derived Part icon. I create a Left Hand part, use the derive icon with mirroring on and create the Right Hand part. While the Right Hand sheet metal part gets created, the Right Hand part will not allow me to create a Flat Pattern.
what steps must I follow to create a derived sheet metal part that I can make a Flat Pattern with?
I'm using the publish command to create a set of single-sheet Dwf files. After running publish the dot in my file names have been converted to the undercarage symbol.
example: (1111 - E1.0 sheet name - job number.dwf) this is converted to (1111 - E1_0 sheet name - job number.dwf)
If I do a manual dwf plot, file name does not change.
I'm attempting to create a sheet set from existing drawings, but when I point the "New Sheet Set Wizard" to the folder containing my 8 or so drawings (with 24 or so associated layouts), only 2 drawings appear with 6 associated layouts for import. The other layouts don't even show up as being part of another sheet set. How do I get the New Sheet Set Wizard to "see" the layouts?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUsing Set Sheet Manager, I am trying to create an Office Standard Sheet Index Table.
I have begun by copying the Standard table and modifying it. I have adjusted the cell styles to reflect our colors and text types and sizes. I have also added two additional columns for revision number and revision date.
I have tried saving the new table ... and inserting a new table through the sheet set manager
the only tables i can bring in include the 2 original columns (sheet number and sheet title) and specified text font, size and color are maintained, but the additional columns and the column width are lost.
Ideally i would like the office format to be maintained...with little or no modification required of the user.
I have just installed AutoCAD 2006 on a new PC, and for a while everything seemed fine. However when I save a drawing it comes up with the following:
Unable to save to drawing (path and filename).
Drawing saved to (path)savAE01.tmp
It allows me to saveas without a problem.
If I come out of AutoCAD and try to open the file I attempted to save, it is visible in the file list, but a message pops up saying:
Cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the file exists.
I can rename the .tmp file to a .dwg file and it opens, but then if I try to qsave it, the same thing happens.
I found this error a bit strange, my colleague it trying to save a file and this error keeps on coming out (see attachments). When we try to save it, it only saves as a temp file. When we try to open up the temp file and try to save it, it still doesn't allow us to do. Also, when we cancel the save, the original file will be gone and he will lost all of his data. Below are the specs of the computer and version of the AutoCAD.
Computer: DELL Precision T5500
OS: Windows 7 Ult
AutoCAD Version: 2011
Also, we're using ProSteel Series 3 as well. We tried saving the file using ProSteel and just AutoCAD but it didn't do the trick. I've tried some options (listed below) that might get it to work but still no luck.
1. Restart the computer.
2. Repair / Reinstall AutoCAD.
3. Give permission to the folder (read from the forum).

It relates to machines which often have different users. I can get ACADM2011 to run for that user by editing the registry and importing keys from a good profile then modifying to user the new users credentials. This is Ok for a fudge fix but not suitable as a final solutions as I have to roll out 2011 to another 90 machines.
All users have full admin rights through a group policy so that is not part of the issue.
What I have noticed is that on machine which will work as expected the secondary installer runs in two steps. The first being the AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 install and then the language pack install. On machines which will fail and have the Profile issue only the language pack install runs. Where does ACAD look to check which causes this first install part to be skipped?

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.
Is it possible to publish alot of files to DWF/PDF and have a field or attribute in the filename.
E.G. A revision within a titleblock in a drawing?
in Autocad 2012 whenever I want to make a PDF from a DWG I use the Autocad builtin DWG to PDF, but it wont suggest the filename anymore. When I use pdfcreator is will suggest the filename, but i dont have the correct paper sizes,

I'm having some difficulty with a new issue that is occuring:I have a 3D model that I'm attempting to render. It has rendered recently with no issues. Now, this morning, I get the following error message:
Unable to create output file - Make sure destination directory is writable and that the disk is not full. Rendering aborted.The drive is only approx. 30% full. I've closed/reopened the file to no avail.Also, I've closed/restarted ACAD.It always seems that AutoCAD acts goofy whenever I have a deadline.
I have recently installed Inventor Professional 2012 Student Version, and I'm unable to create a new file, as the program crashes as I try to do so.
After starting Inventor, I select New than Standard.ipt. The file starts loading, the status of the loading process can be seen in the bottom left corner, than the "Open Documets in Session" counter in the bottom right corner changes from 0 to 1, as it should, I guess. And than, the program freezes. Sometimes, a message appears after several minutes that an error has occured, and that I should send an error report to Autodesk (which I did); but sometimes, no message appears at all, it simply crashes.
My computer specs are: Intel Core 2 @1,86 GHz, 2 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 9800 GTX, 60 GB free space, Windows Vista (hotfix installed) Not a powerhouse, but I think it should be able to start a file properly I think, if I understand the system requirements correctly.
unable to load customization file:

that customization group already exists.
I have two boxes here where something seems to create a acfusion.cuix, an aliasconcept.cuix and a acetmain.cuix. If I unload them and restart, I dont get the error but the have been created. Could a startup lisp be creating these? I havent done anything with lisp files. the target in the shortcut doesnt seem to be pointing to a lisp file.
We dont need these cuix files how can I stop them from being created on start up?

I notice that in PSE11 Organiser, it is not possible to sort images by "filename". As this is such a fundamental feature in any file manager, I assume that this must be an oversight and not intentional.

To make things easier to understand, I'll explain what I do: our sports' photography department makes photos of several sports teams, we print the photos, we put them in a basic two-sheeted album, and then send the photos to the team. As we print all the photos together, they are on a big pile and it's very difficult to sort them with the correct team name. So we take the printed photo, and compare it to all the team photos on the computer, which have the team name in the file name. So this is a very inefficient and slow process.
I was thinking of printing the photos as thumbnails on a sheet, and THEN compare them to the printed sports' photos. It's a lot easier to have a piece of paper with e.g. 10 photos to compare to than browse them on a computer.
So, again, I hope there's a way to let Photoshop put 10 thumbnails on a single sheet, and put the file name below it. All automatically (with an action?) of course.
I'm using Architecture 2011 trial and it generates good rendering, but after adjusting sun angle (time), I received a message: Make sure the destination directory is writable and that the disk is not full. Rendering aborted.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn R2013, the default file naming convention for plotting to a file (jpg, pdf, etc) was [your dwg's filename].pdf
Since R2013 SP1 (including R2014, which I've just moved onto), it has changed to [your dwg's filename] [name of the sheet you're plotting].pdf - as in "DSMC-AS-L Model(1).pdf" instead of "DSMC-AS-L.pdf"
I don't like that at all. Having to manually change it every time is pretty obnoxious.
Is there an way to change this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedLisp that can create layouts (using a dwt--I would code in the file path to my dwt) reading data from a csv file??? I would create the drawings ahead of time, all I would need is to run the lisp and it would create all the layouts in those dwgs and name them according to the csv.
The csv file contains the drawing names in column A and the layout names in column B. So, what I want to do is create "n" number of layouts in specific dwgs, using the cell data it reads from column A--which are the drawing names, and then rename all those layouts with the cell data from B--note it would not create duplicate (existing) tabs. This way I can re-run it later to add new layouts to the drawings as needed.
The reason is that I work on projects with several hundred layouts--thus the need to create layouts more easily across as many drawings as necessary. Instead of renaming/deleting a ton of layouts; it would be easier to start with a minimal template(s) and have the lisp create the exact number of layouts we need instead of going back and making a ton of edits. Since the csv is created at the beginning of the project, any changes later (adding layouts), can easily be done by running the lisp again.
I'm trying to create a new local file but the option is greyed out (not available). We're using Revit Server 2013 and we have one Central Server and two Accelerators in different locations. This issue is affecting only one of the two locations.
