AutoCAD 2013 :: Combining Common Sub Assemblies In Reports?
Nov 27, 2013
I was wondering how to combine common subassemblies so you don't have to seperately count them.
I realize the long way around this is avoiding subassemblies in general and linking a circuit drawing with a predefined additional MAN, CAT in the drawing of the subassemblie(s). This also allows me to annotate the subassembly Footprints. I havent seen an easy way of auto inserting subassemblies and linking common subitems to make a unique item number. The above is all I get when linking subassemblies through the databases (which also doesn't allow you to annotate/ insert the subassembly footprints). I must be missing a way to auto insert the subassembly Footprints . . . creating unique drawings with the subassembly Footprints is time consuming.

I run the AutoCAD 2013 student version on Windows 7. I have rather little in-depth knowledge of AutoCAD and its countless parameters whose values seem to control the general settings. This is probably the issue of yet another one of those parameters.
Just yesterday as I was drafting on my laptop all of a sudden these annoying constraints started to appear all around. I somehow switched them off but ever since then, whenever two objects share even a point (or a line, for that matter, as this is simply a multitude of points), they seem to be "glued" together at that point - if I select one of the objects and try to move it, scale it, drag the shared point around to model the object ect., the other object (the one it's glued to) is skewed about that particular shared point (or line) so that it keeps being a common element of both. I figured that I have somehow told AutoCAD to regard this as some sort of constraint but how I did it or how to undo it. I tried CONSTRAINTINFER, which was set to 1, and changed it to 0, bu to no effect.

We have 2011 installed have customized some of the .XSL reports in ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2011enuDataReportsxsl
After installing 2013, the %ReportDir% variable for 2011 is pointing to the 2013 install, where the reports have NOT been customized. So when you run a report in 2011, it is using the XSL files in the 2013 location.
So the long and the short of it is the 2013 install broke our 2011 custom reporting ability.how to control the %ReportDir% variable in 2011?

Combining multiple drawings in one go, I have 100 drawings (each has its layout) stored in 100 dwg files. I’m wondering if there is a way to combine them in one dwg file in one go assuming that they don’t overlap.
I need then to edit the title block of all of these layout knowing that this title block is an Xref.

I had made a block for a series of unit heaters in 2011 and everything worked great. It had a block properties table that allowed a selection like this:
Input (Electric, Hydronic, Gas) --> Make (Ouellet, Reznor, etc) --> Size (150MBH, 250MBH, etc) --> Flue (UTR, Straight through wall)
In 2013 however, it combines the the flue options so it now if I select Gas, I get:
Reznor
Lennox
Reznor
Lennox
The first two being flue up and the second two being flue straight. The other options work fine because they don't have the flue option.
Why is this happening in 2013? I even made a test block in 2013 that follows the same format and it did the same. Is there a limitation to the number of flyouts in 2013?

We are experiencing a problem that inventor goes none responsive when closing large assemblies. Typically the problems occurs on assemblies with typrical over 3000 parts. The only way to get out is to manual crash the program.
Our machines are some of the powerful machines that you purchase on the market with SATA III solid state drives so the problem is not with the machines.
Wish we never upgrade from 2012, Autodesk should be embarrassed with the performance of 2013

I am working in an Inventor Assembly .iam, I have about 250 fasteners (screws) that are constrained to a flat washer and lock washer. I would like to put them in as a single unit (sub assembly if you will) and then promote or explode them in the top level so that my bom has 250 screws, 250 washers, and 250 lock washers all at the same level, not associated to one another except thru the constraints that were entered in the original assembly. I have tried Promote but that doesn't work because it removes the washers from the original file and I end up with only 1 instance of the assembly. Am I approaching this incorrectly? Is there a better way? I run across this scenario with different components quite often.

How is it possible to have a part in an assembly and then remove it when it is not required?
I have a Skeletal assembly of a cabinet with hinges on the left hand side when facing the front. When a customer requires the hinges to be on the right hand side, I need to make the lock keep disappear from the Right hand side panel sub-assembly and make it appear in the Left hand panel sub-assembly.
At the moment, I have the lock keep, the BOM structure in the file is Normal, this is overidden in the assembly to being Reference for the first instance, the lock keep is fully constrained in both sub assemblies and both are in an array of only 1. I increase the value of the array from 1 to 2 and by a distance of zero(0), the newly added part would have a BOM structure of Normal, consequently it would then appear on the BOM. This method was something I last used when using IV2009, it was a method I used to control both visibility of parts in assembly drawings and on BOMs.
I'm now using 2013 and arraying a part with a overidden BOM structure of Reference makes the new part a reference part aswell even though the file itself is BOM structure of Normal.

If you have created a sub assembly and inserted it into an upper level assemby, is there a way to bust up the sub assembly at that level?
The issue arising is the individual components need to be called out on the upper level, but in the drawing are all showing up as the same balloon.

I'm trying to use assemblies when creating a corridor. The Tool Pallette is emply but I can drag the assembiles in from the Catalog. I've also created an assembly using the ASC. Neither work when I try to use them. The error message is attached.
I'm using a network installation and I do not have the option of changing it to a DVD installation.

I have 2 different lines defined with x and y coordinates.
I want a third line that uses the common x coordinate and a y coordinate that is the sum of the two coordinates.
If this is possible, can i define which mathematical function i use so that i can add/subtract or even use a formula to define?
Further Notes:
The example above is very simple. I have 2 complex curves that go into positive and negative values of y (speaking from a mathematical perspective). I need an easy way to intersect the complex curves at a specified interval and add them at each of those intervals.
For example i may a sine function going in between pi and -pi over a distance equal to 2. I then need to split the curves in intervals of 0.1 and add them together.

I love the concept of sheet sets, particularly when printing project drawings in one stroke. But my current understanding is that a drawing can only be associated with one sheet set. Most of my projects include drawings common to all.

How to customize the reports that Civil 3d can generate to my firms needs. I have figured out how to change the appearance and precisions to the most of the numbers, but i still can not figure out a lot. Currently i am working on the output of the Parcel Map Check Report. If you look at the attachment i have an Image of what i have been asked to generate and an excel file of what i have been able to generate. I need to figure out how to remove the "," from the coordinates and how to rearrange/ change font of the way some things come out.

Using Report manager - Toolbox editor panorama I create a new parcel tool, in this case an xslt type, set up and can run it by right clicking the new tool while still in the panorama box. When I save it using the disk icon at the top of the page it does not show up in the Reports Manager toolbox. I refresh both boxes and still have a no show. Get out of the editor and still nada in the toolbox. I'm using C3D 2012 sp2 Win 7 64 bit. This report and setup acts correctly on a sister machine (32bit) C3D 2012 sp2 Win XP sp3.

I am trying to create some cross section reports. But I have noticed that none of the options available (Section Point Report, or any of the ones that use Sample Lines) will show any featureline information if it is not part of the region which is attached to the alignment chosen in the report.
For instance, I prefer to create my splitter islands as a seperate baseline (levels taken from a dummy surface) and add a simple kerb assembly to this. (So both are in the same corridor). My normal visual cross sections show the splitter island kerbs without issue. But the cross section reports do not.
I have a similar problem with some of the footways, which are created on a separate baseline. (I am working on car parks, where the footway surrounds the car park. So it is easier to create the footways seperately). The section reports do not pick up the footways, presumably because it belongs to a different baseline.......
I dont understand why a section report cant simply pick up any featureline it crosses??

How to replicate this? Add a vertical link to an assembly and have it target a profile for the elevation. In the section editor, check out the parameters of the link and see if it reports the correct elevation. Here's a video of what I did, how to do it in your own drawing: [URL]

If I type in refedit, wipeout, match properties, properties and quite a few others my command line reads Not Recognized! I can't live withour these comands! Not sure what I did, it happend yesterday and I was getting hit by all sides.
Added note: it doesn't seem to mater how I try to get to these commands i'm equally hosed if I use short cut, spelled out, on the ribbon, right click. . . . .access denied.
I still have use of line join edit etc.I don't know if this is related but 2012 dosn't seem to remember settings like if you check the double click to edit in options save work space after the next day it is back like it was.

I have edited the "GeneralLegalPhrasings.xml" file used for the parcel report "General_Legal_Description_for_Parcels".
Two issues: 1. it will not label a reverse curve properly....it shows them all as "compound curves". 2. A curve to curve is always shown as "NonTangent".
I've attached the .xml file (I only edited the imperial parcels - the second large group of <Metes>).
Quite simply, these two "types" below have the words "reverse curve" and tangent or non-tangent accordingly in the output phrase, but it only creates non-tangent compound reports.
Curve to TangentReverseCurve
Curve to NonTangentReverseCurve
This is the report from the parcel in the attached dwg file (notice the "curve to the left" -> "curve to the right" labelled as compound, and all non-tangent curve to curve):
From the POINT OF BEGINNING; Thence, North 90° 00' 00" West, 129.16 feet to a point for corner;
Thence, North 00° 00' 00" East, 100.00 feet to a point for corner, the beginning of a curve; tangent
Thence, 61.46 feet along the arc of a ____ curve to the right, having a radius of 39.13 feet, a central angle of 90° 00' 00", and a chord which bears North 45° 00' 00" East, 55.34 feet, to a point for corner, the beginning of a compound curve; non-tangent
Thence, 47.09 feet along the arc of a ____ curve to the left, having a radius of 29.98 feet, a central angle of 90° 00' 00", and a chord which bears North 45° 00' 00" East, 42.40 feet, to a point for corner, the beginning of a compound curve; non-tangent
Thence, 94.33 feet along the arc of a ____ curve to the right, having a radius of 30.03 feet, a central angle of 180° 00' 00", and a chord which bears North 90° 00' 00" East, 60.05 feet, to a point for corner;
Thence South 00° 00' 00" West, 169.11 feet to the POINT OF BEGINNING and containing 0.483 acres of land.

It’s been drilled into me that we should keep Civil 3D Objects as separate as we can in the design process, thus minimizing data loss in case of corruption (or other some such disaster). So, our current workflow for our transportation projects is as follows:
Receive LandXML files of points, surface and existing CL alignment from surveyor.
Create a separate dwg for points which is then xref attached into our base model
Create dwg for EG surface, create dref
Create base model (existing conditions)
Create Roadway dwg, import LandXML of existing CL
Create design CL, dref
Create design profile, dref
Create Corridor dwg
[code]...
We are now being asked to produce slope staking reports, which require a “live” corridor and a SLG. Our current workflow doesn’t have both of these in the same drawing and since you can’t dref a corridor or a SLG, I'm forced to duplicate the SLG in the corridor dwg. Obviously copy/paste the SLG isn't an option either. I tried that, then exploding them down to polylines and creating a new SLG from the polylines, select them all, yeah, random creation.
Is the intended workflow to have the design corridor, SLG and all the section views in one drawing?

Is this due to me not actually having AutoCAD installed on my development box? I do have references to AcDbMgd and AcMgd loaded in my project if that makes a difference.
