AutoCAD 2013 :: Combining Multiple Drawings

Dec 21, 2013

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.

AutoCAD .NET :: Combining Multiple Drawings Into Single Drawing

Jan 3, 2013

I'm fairly new to the AutoCAD API for .NET, and for the last month or so I've been googling about, looking for comprehensive documentation on the Autodesk API (their equivalent of man pages). I've yet to find anything that describes each method and class in the API.

My goal is this: I'm trying to figure out how to copy the contents of all drawings in the same directory into a single dwg file. What subsets of the AutoCAD API should I use to do so?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Publishing Multiple Drawings To PDF

Jan 28, 2013

I've started having a problem with the Publish command when publishing multiple drawings to PDF.

When I plot a drawing using the plot command, I don't have a problem.

When I publish one drawing using the Publish command it is also fine.

It is only when I try to publish multiple files that the problem occurs- the PDFs are produced, but the it is as if the drawing contents (paper space) has been shifted up by 10mm or so, cutting off the top of the drawing, and creating a larger margin at the bottom of the drawing. I use exactly the same page setup as for the single drawing plot.

There seems to be no setting that would change this, and the fact that publishing a single drawing works suggests that there is some kind of bug. At the moment i have to plot every drawing individually (or get my colleague to do it- it works fine on his machine, same page setup file!)

See attached example.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Tracking A Block Or Xref In Multiple Drawings?

Jan 29, 2013

I am trying to come up with a way to track a block or xref in multiple drawings. I have multiple drawings that have the same block in them and I was hoping that there was a way I could find out what drawings have the block without having to open up every single drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Combining Multiple Surfaces To Create Final Surface

Nov 28, 2012

I am creating my Final Grading surface with from 2 surfaces - a proposed road surface and a proposed grading surface.  (Note of roads within the road surface)

The issue is that when I paste the proposed road surface (that consists of several looped sections) over the proposed grading surface, the proposed grading surface within the looped road areas dissappears.

I have tried several options using boundaries for the inner looped areas on my road surface, and has altered my order of opterations for my final surface edits, and many other things also. 

I have attached an image for reference.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Block Properties Combining Options?

Sep 12, 2012

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?

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.

GIMP :: Combining Slices Of Multiple Rectangles

Sep 27, 2012

Using guides, I can create slices of multiple rectangles intersecting each other. For a web, I may have one picture on the top and multiple items below. If I use guides, the top picture gets cut into multiple pieces. Is there a way to merge them back into one piece? I probably can create a new guide on with only the top, but it's an extra step and the HTMLs from 2 attempts are not compatible with each other.

VideoStudio :: Combining Multiple Video Sources (transitions)

Jul 14, 2012

I have two videos of the same event that I would like to switch between. There is audio to sync to the video as well.

What I wanted to do was:
1) Put the main video in the main video track
2) Put the audio in the music track and aling with the main video
3) Put the secondary video in the overlay track. Align it with the audio and set the overlay to cover the entire screen.
4) Cut out most of the overlay video (spit the clip into sections and delete most of them).

That worked as far as it went -- the main video shows, interspersed with the secondary video, and everything is aligned with the audio. The problem is that the change between video perspectives is quite aburpt, but I cannot figure out how to make the transitions be seamless.

I added transitions to the beginning and end of each small clip on the overlay panel, but that didn't really make things seamless, particularly at the end of the clip -- there isn't anything to cross cut to, and if it fades to black then the main video pops up immediately when the overlay clip ends.

I tried splitting the video in the main track at the spot where the overlay comes in and adding a transition to the end of it; no matter what i try with the ripple settings, that throws the audio out of sync when the overlay is finished. I also tried deleting that section in the video track and moving the video from the overlay track into the video track; that was difficult enough to make sure that the sections were exactly the same length, but then I still have the problem with the transition lengthening the clip and throwing off the audio. I guess I could somehow figure out how to trim exactly the right amount of time from the clip I am inserting to solve that problem. Really, I guess I'd have to do that twice -- once for each transition -- because if otherwise the audio would be off in the clip being inserted. So I need to trim 1 second (or whatever) from the beginning; split it somewhere, and then trim 1 second from the end.

Photoshop :: Combining Multiple Paths And Foreground Color

Oct 15, 2005

I searched the forums briefly and couldn't find an answer to a couple annoying problems I've been having with Photoshop. I'm running a PC with Photoshop CS2, which is part of the entire creative suite package that I recently purchased. Here are the two issues that I’m trying to tackle.

1) Combining multiple paths
I have a picture of a car and I’ve painstakingly traced a path around the outer perimeter, but then there are other areas that I’d like to include as part of the same path and I can’t seem to find out how to make this happen. Just to be clear, I select a path around the outside of the car so I can place it into a new background, put in some shadows, etc.

But, when I try to select other areas of the image to include as part of the path (say between the spokes of the wheels) so the new background shows through as well, it creates a separate path. I’ve yet to figure out how to combine each into a single path file so when I attempt to create an effect, I don’t have five different paths to tackle. A similar scenario cropped up (pardon the pun) when I try to do a radial blur on the wheels and a motion blur to create the appearance of motion. I simply can’t figure out how to get the paths into a single file.

2) When manually adjusting levels of an image, the three eye-droppers that allow you to set white, grey and black points can be used, for example to select which part of the image should be the brightest white (in the case of “set white point”). When I use this eye dropper, it keeps changing the foreground color in the toolbar.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent that from happening? This is rather annoying because when I try to expand the canvas size and I’m expecting it to be white, it ends up being and off shade of white because it picked up the color of the background that I selected as what should be the brightest white in my image. I know the long work around, but am I missing a default setting that would prevent this from happening?

AutoCAD VB :: Plot Multiple Drawings Using VBA

Aug 1, 2013

I am trying to write some VBA code to print several drawings present in a folder.

I am not a VBA expert. I wrote some little macros in excel but it is the first one in Autocad.

I have a small code that opens a drawing, counts it, closes it and then loops for other drawings.

I have a code that print a drawing by defining some printing parameters.

Separately, both work. But when I call the second one into the loop, I get a error:

"Run-time error '-2147418111 (800100001)':

 Automation error

 Call was rejected by callee."

I'm using Windows 7 and Autocad 2012.

See my code below:

Option Explicit
Dim filename As String
Dim filepath As String
Dim full_filename As String
Dim i As Integer
Sub print_trial()
[Code] ......

AutoCad :: Plot Multiple Drawings All At Once?

Sep 5, 2007

I am trying to plot multiple drawings all at once. I work with many drawing sizes varies from size A to size E. What would be the best way to plot all drawings to 11 X 17 paper no matter what size the drawings are set to? These drawings are not xref or anything. They all are separated files. I tried using Set Sheet Manager; it will only plot to whatever that size is. I want all drawings to be plotted on 11 X 17. I did some research in the forums here and was not able to find what I was looking for.
