I have a question about new feature "Core Console".
Is there any ActiveX Interface for "Core Console" like "AutoCAD"?
ex.)
// this code can get AutoCAD COM Reference.
object obj = Interaction.CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.19");
// Is there any code for "Core Console" like this?
// object obj = Interaction.CreateObject("AcCoreConsole.Application.19");

I'm trying to automate plotting DWG to make PDF.
My File :
My DWG has one model and one paperspace with view of the model.
Each view can have many viewport and has a cartridge.
My Goal :
I want a PDF File. One view per page.
My method :I have an intermediate step, which create many Postscript File(One per View)
The second step use GhostScript to concate PS Files in a PDF.
The steps:
1st step : Read DWG File to create script file, in order to automate plotting with AccoreConsole.exe. My method give me the point for plotting in a window with both corner.
2d step : Use the Script File and Software like (TRUEVIEW or ACCORECONSOLE(Autocad 2013) to create PS Files.
Last step : Run GhostScript to make my PDF File as I wish.
Problem :
Old method It works with DWGTrueView, but I would like a silent mode for executing.
Solution ==> use AccoreConsole.exe include in Autocad 2013
New method Using Accoreconsole with a ProcessStartInfo, I realized that accoreconsole.exe can raised error that DWGTrueView didn't raised.
It works with some files, but sometimes, it's crashed, and I don't understand why.For exemple, a file that succeed with DWGTrueView
I have made a plug-In for AutoCAD 2013 which reads the x-Ref from a DWG File.
However, I wants to read this xRef Details (with parent child tree information), from an Console or Windows Based Application. i.e. without loading DWG in AutoCAD, Is it possible to directly read the xRef details?
can't use express tools commands because they forgot to click on install express tool, what is the reason that you have to click on it and Fusion is a part of autocad?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been a VS user for a long time now. I am currently using VSPro X5. I have an Intel Core i7-3770K overclocked to about 4.3GHz. I am running a little tuning utility program by intel to validate that when using VSPro X5 it is indeed utilizing only 1 core and about 19% of the CPU. This is irregardless of whether or not I am editing or encoding video. I have selected all of the hardware acceleration options and optimizations to no effect.
I also use MainConcept's encoder to render certain video and have validated that all 4 cores are engaged during the process and about 65% of the CPU is utilized.
I downloaded and installed the trial version of X6 and ran it and used it to process video with the same results as X5.
I am running 64 Bit Win7 Ult.
For the sake of comparisons, an AVI file converted to MPG (720x480, 1500kbps) is converted by: MainConcept at about 200fps VSPro X5 at about 30fps
I am thinking of upgrading my PC, but only if the dual-core and quad-core machines will run Photoshop and Lightroom faster than a single core machine (which I have now). Does anyone know if Adobe has upgraded their software (CS3 and Lightroom) to take advantage of the multi-threading that's possible with multi-core PCs?

[URL]........
As you can see, the command suggestion box is on the right. I don't know where is the setting to get them back to left.
we cannot afford giant size monitors. An average AEC firm would have a 23 inch monitor or 21 inches. Now almost all the monitors are 16:9. So already the height of the monitor is reduced when compared to the 4:3 monitor.With the Ribbon Interface, the height of the drawing space becomes even less. Of course the ribbon can be minimized etc. but it is a nuisance revoking it and minimizing again. the 2008 version IMHO had a better interface with dashboards which occupied the vertical space on the right side. This way the height of the drawing space is not affected. It used to be a good interface - why change this into Ribbon mimicking MS Office for a CAD program?
I know that you could still have the Classic interface - but you lose the convenience of the ribbon. Frankly, I am a "command line only" person. But I would like to get used to the Ribbon also. Only at this point of time it started to irritate me the small height of the drawing space.
By very huge monitors? or may be you are using highly advanced models where you have a choice for a 4:3 format? I am struggling. I would like to use AutoCAD the way the rest of the world uses - though I am very fast in command line and know by heart most of the commands & shortcut keys. Sometimes i work in FullScreen mode.
I use classic interface in Autocad. After minor modifications in menu of 2014 version, window list disappeared from menu bar. See picture below:
How it can be inserted here?
I'd like to know if i can put Autocad 2013 in SDI mode(Single document interface).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI think that something is not the way it is suppose to be at my ribbon I have a Inventor Studio icon but by defaults is not active (it's grayed out) so in order to turn it on I have to go to add ins and turn Inventor Studio off and than on again and in that way I am able to activate the Inventor Studio button but after that all the buttons in the Rendering Studio tab are inactive so I cannot use them. And I cannot figure out where is the problem. Is it because I am using the student version of the software and it has some kind of limitations on the rendering engine, or it is some kind of malfunctioning of my installation. Everything else is working normally I can modell I can do a rey tracing viewport renders but I cannot run the studio environment interface.

Have a look to t below process

(setq actdoc (vla-get-activedocument app))
(setq actlay (vla-get-activelayout actdoc))
(setq laynam (vlax-get-property actlay 'name))
On a Chinese computer with Windows XP, the layout name via ActiveX is displayed correctly "A3 -布局-02" on the variable laynam.
But under Windows 7 64 Bit I get this "A3 -??-02". So all ActiveX objects with AutoLisp commands do not transfer the Chinese Unicode characters, also on a system in china.
But the pure lisp command (layoutlist) for example returns always the correct characters ("A3 -布局-02")
Do I need any Chinese dll’s for ActiveX dependent language? On my test PC I installed the file autocad_2013_traditional_chinese_language_pack_win_64bit in the hope I get shared files for ActiveX but this did not bring success.

What about creating an AutoLisp selection set from .NET - is it possible, if so I would prefer to do that instead?
The goal is to create some objects in .NET (using activeX or managed code) and then have some way to access these objects via the command line I'm assuming they only way is using an AutoLISP selection set.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am terribly worried because since I upgraded to Windows 8, Revit 2013 is no displaying the User interface in a correct manner. Many icons/commands are hidden and for example I want to edit a floor, click on it and the Edit boundary doesnt show up unless minimize the panel buttons but it doesnt show up in the expanded panel. Then, once you do it, the red cross and green check mark dont display either. You have to again look on the minimized panel buttons.
Then you finally find where the Edit bounday icon is, click on it, and the option for choosing the boundary lines dont show up and have to expand the panel button.It's been months since Windows 8 is out and Autodesk didn't update Revit to work properly under this new OS?Weird thing is that Revit 2011 seems to not have issues running on Windows 8.
Hatch objects: Note To access this property, use the IAcadHatch2 interface.How can I access the Object.Area of an AutoCAD hatch. AutoCAD 2006 has properties that can be assigned to Fields so why can't I find the object att- area in any lisp vars?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on customizing our content center, or at least learning about how to do it and am getting completley lost. Maybe it is just the termonology. In the Wiki help instructions I am instructed to open the "data management server console" and a path is given in the last line.
When I follow this path the only options I find under Autodesk data management are: links to open the vault or to open the auto loader.Am I missing something, or is the main opening screen to the vault what is considered the server console? I am also looking for where to open the "Content Center Editor"
Since the content center parts are EXCELL baised I should be able to do most of the editing once I figure out how to get into them but I am having a hard time getting there. The one thing I am not sure I am going to be able to figure out is that I like to place a work datum midway between the start and end datums. It is an easy job to place an offset datum from the start datum and then go into the propertys and set the offset + B_L/2. However I am not sure how to create this datum in the family prior to creating the instance.
When opening a parcel (xml) report created from AutoCAD Civil3D 2012, Internet Explorer 10 displays message stating "internet explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or activex controls."
In Internet Explorer 9, we would previously just click "allow blocked content" and the General Legal Description dialogue box would work correctly, collapse, expand, show information when buttons are clicked, etc. The attached file does function properly with IE9, but not IE10.
After upgrading to IE10, the General Legal Description Dialogue box will not collapse, expand, the dropdown buttons will not function properly, and information is not displayed correctly after clicking "allow blocked content"
I am assuming there is a new security feature in IE10 that will not allow the script/activex control to function properly in the .html file that was created. I have reduced Security levels in IE10, and also changed settings under Tools > internet options > advanced > checked boxes: "allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer," "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer," and "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid." and restarted computer. This did not change the issue as stated above. I have also opened the html file in IE 10 64-bit and firefox, and still get the same results.
Attached is the file I am troubleshooting with. I have changed the file extension to .txt. If you download the file, just change it back to .html extension.

I have a multi-core machine. How can I tell Inventor to use as many cores as possible?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working with our new copy of AutoCAD 2013 and using the Visual LISP IDE to create code. I also have an AC2009 machine right next to me for other tasks. On the 2013 machine when I click the "Load Active Edit Window" button it switches to the console screen but there are no messages printed like:
$

This of course is making it extremely difficult to debug. I have checked the environment settings and they are exactly the same on each machine. The AC2009 machine prints the messages but the AC2013 machine is just giving me a blank console screen.
I'm having some problems with a python command. I'm working on an image that is 640x640. I'm trying to do a horizontal flip of a layer with this command:
pdb.gimp_item_transform_flip(layer, 320, 0, 320, 1)
the flip succeeds, but it generates a distortion on the flipped layer. When I try to flip that layer through gimp's interface, it is smooth.
I understood that the input values for the flip function were the layer, x and y of one point of the axis from wich the image will be flipped, and x and y of the end point of that axis. Here is the failure in the flip that I mentioned: URL....
this shouldn't happen or the flip will be useless for what I am trying to do. (the eye with problems is the first one, from left to right).
this message generates every 10 seconds in the Console. It's practically taken over the entire log.

It is stated quite clearly on Corel's website that Video Studio Pro X3 is "Enhanced! NVIDIA® CUDA™ GPU acceleration and Intel® Core™ i7 CPU optimization "
Post on this forum seem to indicate a serious problem and that users with i7 processors have to change their Bios settings each time they use Video Studio and disable one of the great features of this CPU, i.e. Hyperthreading. Is this true or only under certain conditions ?
Does anyone know if Bridge in the CS4 version benefits from a dual-core processor?
Those thumbnails take a loooong time. Also, if it does indeed benefit from a 2-core:
1- Does it benefit from a 4-core over a 2-core?
2- And this is a value judgement: Money is tight but am i crazy not to scrape together $200 more to get a 4-core at this date and time even if Bridge does not [yet?] benefit from a 4-core? Do you, in the next 3 years think CS could be hindered by an old 2-core? I will probably get a 12MP camera next year and i often use multiple [3]HDR exposures and often multiple layers.
