AutoCAD 2010 :: Insert PDF And Bind It To DWG
Dec 19, 2013
I have been able to insert a PDF into an AutoCAD 2013 dwg but only as an attachment. This seems to be similar to xref but I can't seem to bind the pdf to the dwg. Therefore when I send the dwg to a client and they open it, they only see the drawing format and no PDF attachment. Sending the PDF as a separate file is not an acceptable solution.
Is there a way to insert a PDF and bind it to the dwg so an external reference file is not required?
I'm not interested in converting the PDF to a dxf or any other format. Just interested in knowing whether there is a way to insert and bind a PDF to an ACAD dwg.

I have a full set of water drawing that need to be submitted to the City’s Water Department. We have to include DWF and DWG drawings on a CDRom, but that is easy. The issue is that there is a stand-alone submittal set. Now, this is not hard to do with Sheet Set Manager; that is not the problem. The problem is that the Water Department has a special set of layers that they want any Civil to use for submittal. These layers are of course different from the NCS we are using now and in our CD submittal set.
Is there a better way than to insert or bind the drawings to a special set of drawings and then change the names? I would most likely use either the “rename” command or the “layer translator” function in Civil 3D 2012. However, if I ever had a revision that affects the base drawing and the CD set; I would have to re do all this binging/inserting and renaming over as well.

I'm attempting to bind an xref into a drawing. I keep getting an error message: "Some objects in the specified xref failed to bind." Any reason why some objects couldn't bind? I've thawed all layers in the drawings..

I am trying to bind a floor plan into a drawing an I get the error: at least one of the specified xrefs failed to bind due to a problem with a proxy object. The floor plan was created by an outside company and we did the electrical engineering. Now that our files are due to the customer, i have to get our drawings to bind.

I am trying to bind an Xref into my working drawing. Whenever I try to perform this command, an error message appears that says "Some objects in the specified Xref(s) failed to bind." No list of objects has been provided. I have tried exploding, purging and auditing both the Xref and the working drawing to make sure there are no extranneous objects in the files, but the message keeps appearing.

I am currently updating and coming up with a better system for are plant layout file for AutoCAD. When this project is complete, it will be set up so if someone needs to make a change they can just make a copy of the X-Ref file for the area they will be updating and hand it back in when there done. I will review the updated X-Ref then switch out the old X-Ref file for the updated one.
Problem: the problem I am having is when I am in the master drawing that contains all the X-Ref files, the layers list becomes enormous. There are about 30 to 40 different X-Ref files with 15 layers each. Those 15 layers contain the exact same information but you have to edit them individually.
Question: Is there a way to make the 15 layers in the master effect the corresponding layer in all the X-ref files? For instance, you hide the “Machines” layer in the master and it hides the “Machines” layer in all the X-ref.
Side Note: If you were going to make the suggestion “use Xbind” I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work well because “Xbind” creates a new layer you have to assign to things instead of making the layers relate to one another.

We have installed 35 AutoCAD 2010 on several computers. Some of these machines use Windows XP 32 bit and some are Windows 7 64 bit. We noticed few issues in both OS but here is one important one.On Windows XP user can insert a PDF file into a Cad file - Insert>Raster Image Reference then select the file type as adobe PDF.
Doing the same thing in Windows 7 wont insert a PDF file. The file type is set to "All image files". We type * as a file name and select a PDF file to insert. Result is an error window pop up saying "The file cannot be opened. The problem can be caused by several things:
-The data in the file is corrupted
-The file is an earlier format that is no longer supported
-The file format is not supported
Since the same version of AutoCAD on Windows XP inserts the same PDF file the none of these causes can be true. Why AutoCAD on windows 7 will not insert a PDF file?

I have a small LiSP routine I wrote about 14 years ago that no longer works. It is supposed to update a logo on a title block using the -insert command with a redefine option and a cancel
(command "-insert" "K:\FORMATS\LAYOUTS\GSILOGO.dwg" "y" ^c)
When I run the routine I get an error message "Invalide block name" and it cancels the command without updating.
Yet, if I insert the same block through the insert dialog box it allows the file to be inserted.

I need to insert a barcode into my drawing titleblock. I have the font loaded that I need, I just can't get it formatted so my barcode reader will read it. I am using the field "filename" to drive the text in the barcode. My issue is I need and asterisk as a prefix and a suffix to my file name so my barcode reader knows where to "start and stop". How can I format the field "filename" with an asterisk (*) as a prefix and suffix?

I worked with about 70 blocks that I routinely insert in drawings, at present I have an area where I keep all them in every drawing. I would like to have a bar that will contain the blocks where I can drag and drop them into place.

I have a drawing with all my block definitions and the blocks inserted and annotated. Seems that in a previous version of Autocad, I could insert the drawing and cancel the insertion at some point of the insertion command sequence, such that the drawing was not inserted, but all the block definitions remained. I could then use the insert command and all of these blocks were available. Yes, sometimes this made my drawing memory size rather large and I would have to purge the unused blocks later to reduce the memory size of my drawing.

My insert script always plots different results(off by a little bit, but not much)... unless I manually paste them line by line which complete defeats the purpose of having a script.
(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8581,10812,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8581,10949,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8916,10812,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8916,11096,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8916,11234,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8581,11096,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8581,11234,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8581,11381,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8581,11518,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8916,11381,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8916,11518,0" 1 1 90)(command "-insert" "RK_183" "8916,11665,0" 1 1 90)

I have a problem when I insert blocks who were originally saved as dxf.
For years I've been recieving dxf-drawings from our suppliers, and for years I've opened them, saved them as .dwg and then inserted them into my drawings. Lately, when I insert these blocks, they're scaled up by 25.4... It appears that AutoCAD converts them to inches instead of in mm.
When I check the scale of the block in "Properties", the insertionscale is always 1.
I've checked the "UNITS" in the dxf and the dwg, both are mm. I've checked "INSUNITS", "INSUNITSDEFSOURCE" and "INSUNITSDEFTARGET", all of them have value "4", which is "mm"...
The screenshot above is taken in the dxf-file. I've used the "DIST" command on the dimension which states "326", and as you can see, the distance measured is also 326...
The screenshot below is taken after I've saved the dxf as a dwg, and then inserted the dwg-file as block into a new drawing. The same dimension is measured, and then I get this:
8280.4/25.4=326

I am trying to insert a table using a data link. I set up the Link through the DataLink manager and then insert the table using a range. I click OK to insert the table and after a few seconds of thinking ACAD sits there with no table on the screen. When I look in XREFs, the DL is there but says it is unrefrenced. Tried multiple ways of entering or setting up information to no avail.

I created a number of 3D blocks to be inserted into a 3D model of a building. I created the blocks in a separate drawing first; i defined them locally, then, when i had them the way i wanted them, I used "wblock" to save all of these blocks to a folder.
I then opened the 3D building model and tried to insert one of my new blocks. I repeatedly get the following:
"AutoCAD Application has stopped working"
with the following info from microsoft:
"Description:
Stopped working
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: acad.exe
Application Version: 24.1.208.0
Application Timestamp: 4dbf9c16
Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll
Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.17651
Fault Module Timestamp: 4e21213c

Exception Offset: 000000000000cacd
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
Locale ID: 1033"
I have tried repairing my installation of autocad with no improvement.
i tried opening the drawing of the block itself, copying it, and pasting it via the "copybase" command into the other drawing with the same result.
Occasionally, autocad will ask me if i'd like to debug the program (and visual studio opens) -- it mentions a "StackOverflowException" within acad.exe, and also mentioned "windowsbase.dll".
I am using windows 7 pro x64 and autocad 2011.
CPU: intel i7
Graphics: NVidia GeForce GTS 250
8GB DDR3 ram
The autocad error-reporting dialog never gets launched as it is forced to close before this point.

We are experiencing a case where the sheet list table will not insert into a page. It works on all other jobs, but this one won't let a sheet list table insert into any page, by any body.
I even tried inserting a block of the table from another set and then updating - all the lines disappeared.
We have done about 200 jobs with these, without trouble and this is the one giving us problems now.

I have a lighting block I need to insert into a drawing. Who ever drew the block did so upside down (so the top is really the bottom). I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to "rotate" it so that the top is correct. When I rotate the block, it simply keeps the top the top. When I copy and paste it, it stays the same as well. I tried inserting it into a new drawing.

Using C3D 2010 I am unable to drag and drop custom assemblies from the pallette or even insert the assembly dwg file as a block. The program shows me the "egg timer" and nothing happens. The subassembly properties are indicated as .net where originally created at the Assemblies Folder. I would sure like to avoid creating new assemblies from scratch for every project.
