View 2 RepliesI am trying to import an IGES file made in solidworks, I was able to import IGES till yesterday by clicking the IGES button on the ribbon in insert tab but today the dialogue box is not popping and I dont know how to do it using command line, I have used Filedia1 but the other dialogue boxes are ok but just the IGES simply quit working, how to turn this dialogue box on again,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import a simple IGES file into vanilla Autocad. I found the IGESIMPORT command and I can get the geometry to import. The issue I am having is that the geometry is importing as splines. Even if the geometry is a straight line, it is imported as a spline. Perfect arcs also import as splines and I can't find a way to convert them.
In Autocad Mechanical, I can use the IGESIN command and the geometry imports as regular lines and arcs. I'm working with a customer that doesn't have access to Autocad Mechanical and trying to find a solution for them with vanilla Autocad.
Even though I run the Dwgconvert function in DwgTrueview 2012 I still can not open the converted file in AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 SP 2. Fatal error with some hex memory addresses displayed. DwgTrueview opens and displays the dwg. just fine. AutoCAD R14 & 2000 open the file with no problem as well.

I need to import a series of XY coordinates into AutoCAD LT from a .txt/.csv file in order to plot the as-laid position of a subsea cable - I dont really feel like entering 212 sets of E/N coordinates manually!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 and received a .DXF file that contains 'solid' objects. Unfortunately the next tool in my workflow doesn't understand 'solids' only polylines (and a few other basic shapes like circles, lines, etc). Is there some way to convert the object in AutoCAD?
I tried the 'boundary' command but when it asks to 'Pick Points' and I click inside the solid, it always gives the error 'Valid hatch boundary not found'.
What am I missing here?
I am trying to import an AutoCAD DWG file into Autodesk 3DSmax 2011, but it's only importing the actual drawings... I'm wanting also to import the text box with all the dimensions/file info in it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedTwo IGES parts and try to convert them to a solid. I've tried all I can think of with no good result.
I can't get them uploaded, file is too large, what can I do?
Currently using the following hardware; HP Z800 Xeon X5677 with 24GBram and 3x147 SAS in raid configuration
Windows professional 64-bit
98% of our work consist of creating idw drawings of complete factory's plants, large 3d plant models.
Therefore we have many subcontractors and from them we receive 3D step/iges models (size approx. 240MB), we want to be able to import these in to our models. But for the moment we are unable to import these files into inventor (due to size probably), it takes very long (over 36 hours) to convert, and most of the times we get a error... or inventor hangs.
When we are able to convert these we have performance problems because of size of our models.
So my questions are;
- why does it take so long to open,
- how can we reduce these files.
I have users using AutoCAD 2010 - both Architecture and Mechanical. My questions; are the Callout tools that are available in Architecture also available for Mechanical? I am looking to see if we can find the same toolbar(s)?

View 1 Replies View Related today i was working with the Autodesk 2011 when the first problem started with rendering, i tried to render but the image was not good, it was like the rendering process did not 100% finished but stopped.
It then become more serious since i tried to render with some different mental rays, at a point it crashed while rendering and exit the application.Next thing that happened was a crash when i tried to clone a set of objects,i got an error stating that there was not enough memory and the application has to shut down.
Then i decided to uninstall it and go with 2010 because i remeber it worked great previously. Once i did install 2010 i tried to open my 2011 file and i got this message:
I have a user that is getting what appears to be streaks on his drawings.
The video card has the latest driver.
I ask how often this happens and he states:
Almost every time I have a large 3d drawing ..or multi 3d drawings open (which is often the case)
I have code that works just fine in AutoCad 2010 (just plain ol' AutoCad), but will not run completely in AutoCad Mechanical 2012. The code will draw lines, arcs, circle, plines, etc. as well as insert blocks. The command to insert the block has the entire block path so I don't have to rely on setting that up for everyone.
In AutoCad Mechanical only the blocks show up. No lines, arcs or anything else is drawn. I do not use a command method (like in LiSP) to create those objects, I create them through the block table and block table records.
What do I have to do to get my code to run in AutoCad Mechanical 2012?
as a casual user of maya, i regularly import .iges files from other 3D modelling programs. in past versions (specifically maya 2011), the .iges import/export bundle was located under the plug-in manager; however, i cannot locate this in maya 2012.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA co-worker had a copy of a handy little guide called "Lynn Allen's Tips and Tricks for AutoCAD 2012". I think she (or another co-worker) got it at AU.
On page 33 under the heading "DGN Support", it says the following:
Complex linetypes are now maintained! To ensure that custom linetypes are displayed, copy the corresponding .rsc files to the support path...........
The way I read that, Acad will read the RSC file and display linetypes from it. Is that true? Does it only work when I'm looking at a DGN file? Or can I use the RSC file with my dwg file? I'd test it myself but I don't have access to any MicroStation files.
If Acad can read the RSC file directly, then I don't see why the linetypes can't be used in a dwg file. AND that being the case, I also don't see why an Autodesk product can't be created to WRITE these RSC files. As far as I'm concerned MicroStation's custom linestyles is so much more advanced than Acad's linetypes.
I was given an iges file of a 3d structure that needs to be layed out in 2d. I was able to import the iges file into inventor and then output a dwg file. I then tried to import this dwg file into autocad to draw the 2d layout, but I am unable to copy it into autocad in the correct orientation. I have the correct orientation when i produce the dwg files from inventor. how can i import them into a single dwg file at the correct orientation?

I am trying to conver a DWG of a 747 to a IGES or STEP file, but when I go to do so the option export "cad format" is faded out and I cannot choose it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an IGES file that, when opened in Inventor, comes in as a single part. In the model tree of the part are 126 Solid Bodies, each with a "Base" in it. The parts are all solids, or appear to be. Is there a way to open this file so Inventor makes each "Body" a separate .ipt file, and the IGES file a .iam file (as it can with a .stp file)? I can't attach the file, as it's 36+Mb....

I have an IGES-file 270 MB large, i can open it in a lot of 3D programs, but when i want to open the file in Inventor 2012 the circle-icon keeps on spinning. But no result.
Why can't Inventor handle large IGES-files? How can i solve this?
I am using inventor 2013. I currently have a IGES file that doesn't show the surfaces on my inventor drawings. The include all surfaces feature is check but still doesnt show all the surfaces. I just recently imported a IGES file as a soild part but i do not rememeber how i did it. Once I clicked on the IGES file to open and then click options. What do I fill out on the option dialog box that the IGES file imports as a solid part and shows all surfaces on my inventor drawings.

How can I set Inventor's Default to "144-Trimmed" so I never have to mess with it again?
