When I select any object, my quick properties tab is blank and my properties tab doesn't register anything. Â Also, I get an error message when I go into my CUI to try to modify the quick properties tab. Â Pretty frustrating. I've attached a couple of images for reference. Â I've repaired, re-installed and unistalled and re-installed and still have the same probelm. Â

You can see in the attached screen cap that colors 1-9 appear as white on my screen and that colors 10-22 are not correct either. This is only occuring in one specific drawing. Is there a preference that I switched somewhere that would make this happen? I have double checked that everything is ByLayer or ByColor that I can think of. If I insert this color chart into other drawings it looks fine. using C3D 2012.
I would just restart my drawing, however it is the new company template file that I have invested many hours into and would really like to be able to keep working with it and not start over. Or is there a good way to import and overwrite all the Prospector settings into a blank drawing?
I am looking for code that will delete all the properties within a DWG file.
Searching the forum, I found the following
; Remove any existing Properties
(dictremove (namedobjdict) "DWGPROPS")
However, further research (forum, testing and help system) indicates that it no longer applies to current releases of AutoCAD so my initial happiness was short-lived!
i don't know what i did but i some how deleted the portable view navigate properties that contain the orbit, pan realtime, extent.ect tools. It's usually located on the far right of the screen on the drawing under the North, east, south, west cube.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for commant that will allow me to copy a selection of entities to another layer for details. I'll need to be able to select several objets all at once and have each of them maintain the correct colors, linetypes, lineweights. Most everything is set as bylayer but that makes everything change once the objects are moved to a new layer.
How can I keep the everything looking like it never changed except for the fact that it will be moved to a new layer - layer 0 in this situation?

I am looking to cut my body from the background. since my picture is blury because in this particualr frame my arm is moving, the pixels from my arm get intertangled with the black pixels in the background. I was wondering if there is a way to delete the black so that I will only have the tanned pixels (from my arm) show up with no black? I tried using magic wand but it only cuts AROUND my blury arm and does not delete the in between black pixels. there seems to be a lot of options I was thinking there must be some way to be more precise. maybe I can copy the black pixels with eye dropper and get it to delete all the black automatically leaving the lighter arm pixels in tact but I don't know how to do this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are some layers in my drawing that won't delete in the layers properties manager. I don't know why. It gives me 4 possible reasons:
- It might be layer 0 or a Defpoint (whatever that is).
- It is the current layer
- It is an Xref dependent layer
- It is a layer containing objects
But none of these, to my knowledge, apply. There could be things on the layer that I'm just not seeing, but I've looked thoroughly. I even zoomed out to the extents, highlighted the whole area, and clicked the erase tool, but it still won't go away. I got the file from another computer, so it might be an Xref dependent layer and the Xref'ed files just didn't come with it. How would I be able to tell - and how could I remove the Xref dependency?
Other than that, is there any other reason a layer won't delete? Can I force it to delete?
What's the best method to import layers and their properties form one dwg to another?
I tried layer states manager by import .las file but it only imports the names and not the colors and linetypes.

I've seen it's possible to match a property from one drawing into other using the same command. It's necessary to set something else?

It would be nice to use the properties box and type in the scale. As soon as I type in the "x" scale, y and z follow! I need to put in negatives in x only.
Why do y and z automatically follow x?!?!?
Same hatch properties but different result! How come?

I use Quick Properties in static mode mostly for counting objects and quickly seeing the length of lines and polylines. These lengths are listed in feet and inches. Would it be possible to add an additional length item to the quick properties menu which shows the inches/decimal length? Would be awesome as I wouldn't then have to do the math to convert to inches.

My problem;
I'm trying to add a FIELD with some of the sheet set custom properties. Why are the field not seing ANY of the 190 properties I added to my sheet set? see picture
I really love all of thoses fancy new feature Autodesk add year after year, I mean, you know, NURBS modeling & stuff... Trully great work Autodesk!
We draw several instances of the same base object, a box for example. Different boxes have different features to plot on different layouts. For example, on one of the boxes we dimension lengths, on another we might show levels or elevations. We have multiple layouts based upon the number of unique features we need to plot. Then we batch plot those layouts to a single pdf file with multiple pages.
We do not plot to a scale, we just use dynamic zoom to make the layout look good.
Once that first layout is set, I want another layout with the second box, then a third and fourth etc.
How do I get the new layout with the second box to match the first one? I want the second box to be in the same position and be the same size as it is in the first layout.
I'm trying to figure out two things that have changed:
1) Lets say i create a polyline, lets say its 15 inches long. I used to be able to click on it and have the length show up in my properties. it no longer does that.
2) Lets say i create a polyline, it's green and has a dot pattern. I decided i wanted to change it to yellow and hidden pattern. I can no longer select the line and change it under the properties, it will change it in properties, but not on my screen. then when i draw a new line it will be yellow and hidden. I end up having to matchprop to make it work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy company is building a template library, and I want to fill in the .DWG document properties by extracting the information from a the block attributes
For example we need the following document properties (TITLE, SUBJECT, and KEYWORD) to be filled in from the same block attributes (TITLE, SUBJECT, and KEYWORD). The template we have now has this information manually input, but we would like to "automate" it on the .DWG document properties.
How do we do this, use a macro or is there some other way to do this automatically?
When I click the layer prop. man. icon, I get a list of all the possible commands, but not the window it's supposed to show.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create a routine that will automatically change an object to a pre-defined layer.
Command "1" would "MATCHPROP" and change a selected object to layer "1empty", command "2" would "MATCHPROP" to layer "0"Â
So, type 1, select an object, that object would be changed to layer "1empty"Â
I am having an issues that I am unable to change the properties of a selected object using the tools located within the ribbon. Instead I need to go through the properties popout to change them.
for instance, I seclect a line and want to change the layer from A-wall to A-door. I try to change it using the drop down layers located within the ribbon, but it does not change. however If I do the same only though the properties popout window I can change it.
Is there toggle that I accedently switched?
What setting would cause a huge, well about 5-second, delay when any entity is selected without a command active and only with the Properties Palette on-screen but autohidden? If command is given first, verb-noun, no hesitation after selecting at Select Objects: prompt. But, selecting any entity first, noun-verb, causes the 5-second delay before the mouse is again active. Very annoying. Closing the Properties Palette completely seems to cure the delay problem, but at a different cost in editing time. The workstation is running WinXP Pro with 4 gigs of ram.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to edit multiple attribute properties, NOT using battman? While battman will chnage every att-block within the drawing, I'm looking for a way to change the text size of one specific line of text within an attribute, and ONLY change it in a certain few within the drawing. It'd be nice if I can select those specific blocks and change the properties in the properties manager, but it's not an option.
