AutoCAD 2010 :: Automatically Updating DWG Files Made From DWT Files

Mar 26, 2013

I have loads of dwgs made by a former employee at another site that have our company logo in the tile block. I need to replace the company logo with a new one.  If it were not made from a dwt, I could change the .dwg file and just reinsert the block and let it redefine the block, done. But since all of the text in each drawing was input using a template, I cannot do this without losing all of that data. We are not permitted to explode the title block, delete the old logo & add a new one as the drawing format needs to remain as one entity. Is there a way to automatically update these dwgs without re-entering all of the title/revision block text on every drawing?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Creation Of Tmp Files

Nov 13, 2013

We are currently using a networked Autocad 2012 Deployment. As each person opens the Autocad session, several "tmp" files are created in the "G:AutoCAD Support2012SupportToolPalette" directory. They remain when the session is closed and then several MORE are created. The directory itself is write protected for most users (engineers, etc) but open for the Drafstmen to be able to create new entries. I can see why they arent deleted becasue of this, but why are they thrown in there in the first place?

We had over 65,000 tmp listings this AM after examining all the directories associated with Autocad because ALL users were having problems opening and closing Autocad such as 3-4 minutes to open the app, and several minutes to close. Once they were deleted, Acad ran normally and no lags were detected.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Possible To Plot Using A Few Different CTB Files

Jul 9, 2013

Is it possible to plot using a few different .ctb files?  For example can I assign one .ctb file to the landscape xref drawing and another .ctb file to the architectural xref drawing and a third .ctb file to the civil xref drawings? It has been very time consuming to coordinate all the separate drawings to use one .ctb file.

AutoCAD LT :: Loading Dvb Files In 2010?

May 31, 2012

started a new job after being out of the biz for a couple of years and would like to load some sweet dvb files that I grew accustomed to in my prior life. I can appload my .lsp files with the the best of them but these dang dvb's have me wishin' they were .lsp! The dvb's were at one time lisp routines but were turned into dvbs by a power user somewhere along the line. What's my avenue for success at ever getting to use these sweeties again?

AutoCAD 2010 :: CTB Files Not Recognized

Dec 27, 2012

Today my company's server went down. We are operating from a remote backup.  Whenever I try to plot, our .ctb files are missing from the plot styles drop-down.

I have located the directory to place them there and the "real" Plot Style Manager folder contains the files. Interestingly, when I go to adjust the files in ACAD, it erroneously directs me to my computer's "Documents" folder. It seems clear it is being mis-directed since it cannot access the Server. Believing it'd recognize the files in the Documents folder, I placed the .ctb file there. ACAD still did not find the .ctb.

I have also ensured the plot settings in the Options menu is set to "Plot to color dependent styles." (Rather than .stb)

It is clear to me this issue is resulting from a lack of communication to the server.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Plotting Some Files To PDF Using DWG To PDF

Apr 19, 2012

When plotting some files to pdf using the "dwg to pdf" as well as the "adobe pdf" some of the lines show two different lineweights. Some of the text displays two lineweights as well. It does not seem to happen with all drawings. The adobe version is better than the dwg to pdf but still not as good as plotting directly to the plotter from acad.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Spam BAK Files

Oct 2, 2013

See attached PDF

This recently started happening to my bak files. They are no longer just ".bak" they have these numbers and underscores added to them. Just thought it was a one time deal. I was wrong. Now it is happening to almost every file i touch. Not only is it creating about 7 of them, now these numerical jumbled bak files are appearing in folders where they do not pertain. 

Note: I call them "spam bak files" because when i delete them and resave my drawing, they save as a regular bak file.

AutoCAD 2010 :: DWG Files Can't Be Read

Apr 5, 2012

I am running AutoCAD 2000 ( I know it's older than most users out there... but good enough for me) and have received 3 dwg files (floor plans) that were exported from VectorWorks (newer version) yesterday.  My issue is that these files have been exported to a newer format than my ACAD2000 is able to open and I really need to be able to get at these to be able to work on them.

Willing to open these 3 floor plans in ACAD2012 and save them as an ACAD2000 file format...

AutoCad :: Open Two Files In 2010?

May 16, 2011

In older versions of AutoCAD it was impossible to open two files simultaneously. I think it was added in later versions. Now I am using AutoCAD 2010 but I don't know if I can open two files and shift between them. If it is possible, how can I do that?

As a second question in the same subject, is it possible to copy objects from one file to another?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Convert Multiple DWG Files To PDF

Jun 28, 2012

I have 100 .dwg files that I need to convert to .pdf file type.For obvious reasons, I do not want to do this one by one.Is there a way to do this, using only AutoCAD 2010?

Simply saying to 'batch plot', use 'publish' or 'change a setting' does not work. I would like to know, step by step, exactly how to do it. If there is not a way to do this, or the way to do it is extremely complex, any Autodesk program that does it or a free program.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Page Setup For All New DWG Files?

Mar 18, 2012

How to fix the “page setup” for all "new" dwg files?

I couldn’t know how we could customize the default plot dialogue settings that the AutoCAD provides as we click the “Plot” command.

For example, each time I start with a new dwg file and click “plot” then I got some default settings.

Then how the settings of the “plot” command can be customized such that as we start with a new dwg file then the customized settings appear?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cannot Display Underlay (PDF And DWF Files)

The Fade is Set to 0, In properties I can the layer is set to 0, but under view the height and width is all 0.00000.

I am running straight Autocad 2012 w/ SP1. Its 64 bit on Windows 7.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2014 DWG Files In 2011

Dec 9, 2013

Our structural firm is using 2011, and our office has received drawings that came out of 2014 twice in the past week (from separate arch clients). In both instances, we back-converted using DWG TrueView 2014, but upon opening in ACAD, none of the walls were showing up (although they do appear in the preview). One of my other drafters dealt with it the first time, and got it resolved, although I didn't get specifics on how. Naturally, the second time it happened, she was out, so I am seeing if the architect can back-save to 2010 on their end and send the file.

While waiting on that, I tried QSelect in the offending file, and in the list of items that comes up, there was, amid the usual Text, Line, Pline, Block, etc., something called ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY. I selected all (nothing was visible, however--usually you see grips at least when you QSelect things), then exploded, and the walls showed up.

I have had somewhat similar odd behavior from drawings coming from I think ADT (do they still make ADT?), where things like walls, doors and windows come in as something block-like (I think AEC OBJECTS?), and we have to explode them in order to control color and visibility of their constituent parts. Perhaps this is something similar?

At any rate, this seems like something that either shouldn't be happening, or that has a more obvious fix than having to qselect and explode invisible things to get them to show up.

AutoCAD 2010 :: ARX And DLL Files On Vault Server?

Oct 1, 2013

My company is currently running AutoCAD 2012 and we have invested heavily in some custom DLL and ARX routines that really automate our design/engineering process.  The problem is that these currently resolve on laptop computers and our executive managment doesn't feel that it is very secure.

Their suggestion is to run AutoCAD through a virtual machine, which none of us like, for many reasons.

One option we would like to explore is using Autodesk Vault to store our DLL and ARX files, and require Vault login in order to load/run these files.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Converting Image Files To DWG

Nov 11, 2009

I'm doing an internship at school and need to convert alot of .tiff files and .dpf files into drawings. I also experimented with a program that converted the files from raster format into vector format. This is what I've found so far...

Able2Extract – Works very well when it does. Creates everything on 1 layer. Has options to use Autocad 2000 color palette or Autocad 2004 color palette. 2004 palette usual fails. Program works 50% of the time.

Aide PDF to DXF – Worked very well, once. Tried multiple floor plans and it came out chicken scratch.

AutoDWG VectorNow - Terrrrribllleeeeeee.

AlgoLab Raster 2 Vector – Miserable failure.

Any decent programs to convert these files?

AutoCAD LT :: 2010 Is Missing Reference Files?

Mar 8, 2012

We have AutoCAD 2010 installed on 5 machines in our office.  These machines work and save files to our server.  One of the workstations always gets a pop up that it is missing reference files.  No other workstations are running into this issue.  We've tried having multiple users log into this specific computer but they all encounter the same error.

Another thing (which may be related to this error) the drawings that do open up on this computer don't line up.  For instance we have a field in the lower right hand corner wiith text such as job name/number, tech who worked on the drawing etc.  One all other computers this information lines up perfectly but on this one it doesn't as well os other lines on this machine don't line up properly.
