AutoCAD 2013 :: Can't Open DWG
Oct 24, 2013
I am working on a drawing set that has many large xrefs, including dwgs that are from civil engineers working in civil 3d, that the engineers convert when they send us the files. The problem I am having is that the drawings won't open unless I 'hide' an xref, so it does not find it. If I do this, the drawings open, but the obvious problem this creates is that there is missing information. This is workable while the drawings are not being submitted / are for in office only. But soon we need to have all the information present / showing for submissions. The other issue is that I cannot reload xrefs in this drawing set, the program freezes, so I have to force quit or close the drawing and reopen to have reload the changed xref.
The set of drawings I am working in are around 14 MB or so each, but the xrefs there are about 10 range from 10 MB to 25 MB each. All the xrefs have been purged, audited and pared down to the smallest size possible, and all are necessary for the drawings.

Autocad MEP 2013 was working fine until I installed SP1 yesterday.
Now when type in open the dialog comes up (not a filedia issue). When I click the "look in" pull-down in the open dialog it goes blank and I am unable to browse any folders. I've tried rebooting.. Should I reinstall?

so i recently started taking an architect autocad class. our first project was nothing special but for some reason whenever i save it on my removeable usb after working on it at home, it wont open on the schools computer. it doesnt open as the specific file i wanted, but instead it opens up a blank file named drawing1.dwg. the file name does not even come up at the top of the screen.

I've recently been sent an IGS file via a secure file transfer site. Accessed the site, downloaded the file no problem but can't open it in ACad.
I've been advised to use the IMPORT command but this hasn't worked either, just provides me with the pop up saying only V7 & V8 are supported, see screen shot below.
Do I need to purchase a specific piece of software (plug in) to allow me to open the file?

When opening the a .dwg file in autodesk I am prompted with a message telling me that this DWG file was saved by an application that was not developed or licenced by Autodesk. What would you like to do? I say continue opening the drawing. Next the drawing opens but another message appear Proxy Information.
The drawing you have opened or referenced contain custom objects created by an unavailable Object ARX application. You do not need the original application to display proxy representations of objects that were saved in the drawing. However, many manufacturers including Autodesk, provide object enablers that also allow you to edit these custom objects. Visit the AutoCAD Object Enabler assistant web page to locate Autodesk object enablers or contact the software publisher about object enablers for other applications.
I believe the drawing has come from a Pro E environment. The file has been attached.

I've just upgraded to Windows 8.1. Well it seemed better than Windows 8 for the first few minutes. Then I discovered Autocad won't open. (Microsoft claim it's compatible - obviously I checked their Compatibility Center first).
I have Autocad LT 2013 version 19.0.55.0. I have done a full uninstall and reinstall of the application and service packs. There is no error message, the loading screen and status messages appear as normal, and then just before opening everything disappears.

I received a set of files from a client with .max extensions. Is it possible to open or import these into AutoCad? I would like to try this before going back to the client and asking for them in a different format.

I am having a problem with AutoCad 2013 crashing. While running the program when I use the open command dialog box if I re-name a file, create a folder, or copy a file autocad goes unresponsive and crashes immediately afterward. I have installed the service pack and update my video card driver trying to fix the problem. I used to be able to perform everything mentioned above in AutoCad 2010 without any problems. I don't think its my computer causing the problem because everyone else in my office is having the same issue with 2013.

I am a contractor that does work for several different companies. When these companies send me their dwg file I have no problem opening them up to edit them, but once I complete my edits and email the file back to them they are telling me that their autocad crashes while trying to open the drawing or the whole computer itself. Most recently I only made a very minor edit to their dwg which was editing two areas of text and still crashes their computer when I send it back. I am using Autocad lt 2013, while they are using autocad 2010. I backsaved the file as well was purged the drawing after I was finished and still no luck. Also I noticed on another job after doing very minor edits, once I saved the new version the file file sized multiplied like ten thousand times its size.

Before I installed the Product Design Suite, Network License. I did a Clean Uninstall of all Autodesk software: Uninstalled Programs, Deleted remaining Autodesk Folders, Cleared the Registry of all things Autodesk, cleared the Windows Temp folder, and Even ran Windows Install Clean Up Program. Clean slate, start the install, type in my three redundant license server names, the suite installs without a hitch.
I reboot. I opened AutoCad Mechanical, and AutoCAd with not issues. However Inventor, Showcase, Sketchbook, 3ds Max, and Fusion will not load/open, all is the blue spinning wheel. Check the Task Manager and see the program in processes, nothing happens. Then I right click on the image, and I will get a window stating program not responding.
I checked my Environmental Variables and the ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FLEX and FLEXLM_TIMEOUT are set correctly.
I do understand why my Autocad and Mechanical are the only software that functions out of the suite. I have done a complete uninstall and re-install and the issue still exists. Only AutoCAD will Open and function. Intentor will not open.

Luckely 2014 works with service pack 1. Now i have another problem:
on school they have 2013, and i have 2014. But I tried to open a part made in a 2014 version. I think this program is expensive enough that they won't make different part versions .
i can open parts made on 2013

I'm in AutoCAD 2013. I've been working on a drawing everyday (was just working on it yesterday), but can't open it now. I just get a blank gray screen when I open if from within AutoCAD. When I open it from my computer drive while AutoCAD is closed, AutoCAD opens and I get "Drawing1.dwg." I've tried the RECOVER command, but I don't get a response. I tried RECOVERALL command which let me choose a file to recover, but it responded saying it could not recover the drawing.

My stand-alone PC:
6GB of RAM
WIN7 64bit
AMD x2 240 processor 2.8GHz
After installing all products within Building Design Suite Ultimate 2013 and/or Infrastructure Design Suite Ultimate 2013 I try to open AutoCAD 2013 and get the attached screen. It just grinds and try to open but always shows "not responding". I've read posts that suggest uninstalling and re-installing. I've done this several times. I've used the Microsoft Fix-It engine to completely erase from the PC. I have even just installed the AutoCAD portion and it will not open. Each time I reinstall it asks me to supply all proper credentials, product code, etc. It shows green check marks so I know my codes are correct.
I've tried opening other programs and the only successful one is Revit. Am I to point the start-up of the programs to the licenses or something.

I'm taking the Basics training coarse and while doing exercises something changed in my Open and Save preferences. As far as I know I didn't do anything to make the change. It used to be when I clicked on the "Open File" button a window with a visual tree would open on screen and I could visually go through my files, opening sub folders until I found the file I wanted. The "save" and "save as" buttons worked the same.
Now, instead of the window with visual map, I get a command line where I'm asked to type in the destination and name of the file.

is it possible to Zoom and Pan whilst I have a title box open.
I work for a company that has installed its own toolbar and and attribute box's to be filled out.
My issue is that I need to zoom into various parts of the drawing to be able to fill out all the boxes.
Currently I have to close the dialogue box down every time I want to move the drawing to a specific are.
If there was a command or setting that I could use to be able to keep the box open and move the drawing at the same time that would be great.

When I change the column headings e.g. date, tag size etc., on the OPEN FILE box, they revert to the unchanged headings after toe box is closed.
Is there a method of keeping them as I want them ?
