AutoCAD 2013 :: Are BAK Necessary With Cloud Backup
Jan 31, 2013
We have been testing some cloud services like dropbox and sugarsync. The great thing about them is that they store up to 5 (in dropbox 8) versions of every file, and to just have a duplicated file (different extension) and upload it every time doesn´t make any sence. So my question is, are bak files for autocad sitll necessary?
I always hated .bak files in my work folder, here at my office everybody always delete them as soon as they see one. I know its better to keep them but its really annoying to have duplicated files in the same folder ALWAYS, you can´t even hide them.
I have few terabytes of photo's that are cataloged in lightroom. Only a few hundred gig are photo's that I rated 3-5 stars and are the only ones that I would want to be 100% certain I don't loose in a perfect storm data loss scenario.
I currently use windows 7 import everything into one master folder for my catalog, then sort and rate them all. Is there any way to direct lightroom to separate all photo's with a 3-5 star rating on my actual hard drive into a separate folder or duplicate them into another folder for cloud back-up? I've tried showing the rating column in window, but it doesn't seem to bring my lightroom star ratings into windows.
We just got our new 2013 disks and I was going to make a backup copy like I usually do (it worked for 2012) and my backup software says there is not enough room on a standard DVD-5 to fit. So did Autodesk use some copy protection or did the install disk get so big it must go on a DVD-DL?
What do you use to send and backup your AutoCAD files? I've heard of CADCloud which looks good: URL....What other CAD - specific solutions are there around?
I'm working with a point cloud in 2013. The color comes in when I convert to .pcg and import into Revit. But I can't get the color to display in CAD. I've heard it may be a visual style problem, or a setting in my hardware acceleration, but nothing seems to work.
Since I have decided to use the 'sync settings online' however now when I try to open 13 or 14 stall on opening the only way I can get round it is by opening windows task manager and ending the 'acSettingSync.exe' and the 'acCloudManager.exe'. This doesn't work everytime but 75% of the time.
I have my settings in my PC, like PGP shortcuts, user preferences, etc. When I logged in another machine, which is a clean install btw, I expect that my other machine's settings will come here. But it is the opposite. My original machine gets default shortcuts, etc.
How do I move a 360 Panorama Image over to 360 so I can share the panorama? When I download the panorama it downloads as an image strip not a panorama and on the 360 Rendering page I cannot find a way to share the image.
I might be missing somehting completely, but I am reading with Civil 3D 2013 you should be able to clip a Point Cloud, but I am not seeing the clipping panel under the point cloud tab.
I see that the Point Cloud Feature Extraction is now part of the Productivity Tools for Civil 3d 2012. Are these tools available in 2013? I am not seeing them anywhere. It seems goofy that there would be more tools available for the old release - what's the incentive to make the switch? Would you expect they will be available for 2013 sometime soon? I'm not complaining, I really like 2012
See pic. Top pic is 2013 point cloud properties. bottom pic is 2011 point cloud properties. 2013 has a new 'point cloud adjust' option in properties.
Both drawings have same 'Lidar Classification' Style, but 2013 is all gray. I tried changing some fields inside the properties for 2013 under the point cloud adjust to no avail.
why this is like this and what I need to do to see the different colors for the different classifications.
hiya! so my master media library is running off a 1 tb outboard drive to lightroom and i have a 2 tb outboard drive as a master backup, i drag new media over to the drive through finder on a mac- will this be able to connect to lightroom's catalog in case of the primary drives eventual failure? is there a better way?
When i back-up the catalogue, i assumed the backup would be mede of al the tags added to photo's. When i check the catalogue-files, i see a whole lot of jpg-files. My actual photo-collection contains jpg-, raw an avi-files.
I have a habit of making a copy of all my photofiles, but now it seems double
Question: Does de backup-function of photoshop elements 11 actually make a backup of tags and photo's?
I'm looking to basically do what this video shows:

I just want to create a section from the point cloud, but the point cloud won't allow me to select it as an object in the 'Generate 2D/3D section' dialogue as it's not a solid/surface.
On an unrelated note, I find snapping to the point cloud impossible - is there an option in OSNAP that I'm missing? I've tried this with attached PCGs and RCP point clouds, no difference.
I dont want it. Im not interested. But hey we are changing all your icons to cloud. Screw you I have to login and am scard these fools will use my credit card#
Adobe is really good at graphics I dont trust them as far as I can throw them with my credit information.Why are you changing my desktop icons without my permission. Yea do whatever you want to. Down here in the south we have a little something called uninstall.
autocad is not saving backup files automatically, only when i manually save are they updated [defeating the purpose of them]. in my options - open and save - i have my automatic saves set to 3 minutes and am also set to create backup copy with each save.
Is there an automated backup for files that are not saved a single time? I have set automaticly backup every 5 minutes, but that seams only to work on files u have saved at least one time.
Did i just lost my whole work because automatic backup system is not activated on new files that are not saved yet?
In Acad Architecture 2013 30 day trial, Autosave and backup are not working, even tho they are checked in Options>Open & Save>File Safety... Where the autosaves should be, in C:UsersTomF there's no appdatalocalemp showing in Windows Explorer. I lost a lot when Paste special caused a crash (as it has more than once).
I can get my stylised map from Promap into Map3d 2011, and I have tried importing the point cloud data which I have as a esri ascii grid file, it is basically 3 columns of numbers:- for north, east and height.
Unfortunately when I choose to format as nez (when importing) it turns the whole lot round by 90degrees ...
I have tried importing it as enz but no joy, and also in niether case will it align with my map (have tried using coords and not using coords).
I am trying to trace part of my point cloud, which has been aligned according to a new UCS I set. Drawing on the top down view, a poly line works fine out in the black ether or the model space, however when I attempt to trace over the point cloud it shoots way off in the distance.
My node snapping is turned off of course, but this only happens when I click over a part of the point cloud, as if it was snapping to the cloud and getting confused.
When I turn snapping off completely I can click anywhere I want and I'm fine. This suggests to me that it is a snapping issue, although I was under the assumption that "Node" was the only snap setting that related to point clouds.
