AutoCAD 2013 :: Copying Items From One Drawing To Another?

Apr 4, 2013

I'm wanting to copy some elements from one drawing to a different .dwg file to make sure it's identical. I can't just simply use the COPY command. At least it didn't work for me.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copying Drawing With OHM Symbol

Mar 24, 2013

We used Furix BetterWMF 2013 to copy our drawings from AutoCAD 2013 to Word 2007. Never had a problem till we upgraded to 2013 for both products.  Now when we paste the drawing into Word (for our product manuals) any Ohm symbols turn into Question marks. 

I'm assuming the problem is not AutoCAD, as it displays correctly there.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cleaning Up A Drawing From Unpurgable Items?

Dec 16, 2013

I don't know about others having drawing that either have DGN trash like linetypes or (Cells) blocks that seem to not purge out even if you use the regular wblock command.

And if you go to purge and toggle "View items you cannot purge" you see them.

You want to clean the drawing and you want to keep all your paperspace tabs so you will end up with a clean drawing.

1) use the command -wblock

2) enter a new name

3) enter *    (that will tell Autocad to create a new drawing with everything in it)

4) close the old drawing don't save and open your new clean drawing with all your paperspace tabs, your done!

AutoCad :: 2013 On Mac Running Slow When Drawing And Copying Lines And Objects?

Sep 15, 2012

im currently using Autocad 2013 and it is running painfully slow when drawing lines and copying lines and objects... my experience on autocad is very minimal and how to speed things up a bit. also icons appear next to lines when i join 2 or more line, one for each join, but i suspect they may also be causing my drawing to lag.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Link Text Items Between Pages And Items In Drawing?

Apr 17, 2013

I am hoping to link text items between pages and items in the drawing such as elevations?

So, ideally, I would have a front page to my drawing set, and this would have a 'Contents' type table on it, with the title name of each drawing in one column, then the drawing number in the next column. This is the tricky bit, someone must know: If i was to change the name / number of any item in this table, could it change also (linked to) the following items:

Drawing title  (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to) 

Drawing number (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to) 

Elevation call-out (on the plan view)

And possibly:

Excel reference cell

Drawing layout tab title (this might be pushing it!!)

Perhaps this could be done by linking to an external Excel spreadsheet with these titles modified in there? I'm not sure. This would be ideal as typing into excel is a lot easier than the triple click text modify method required currently.

I waste a lot of time renaming and updating sheet names / titles / numbers. Are there standard templates for drawing sets that may have this built in available anywhere that I could try?

AutoCad :: Copying From One Drawing To Another

Oct 1, 2011

I am using R14 which suits my hobby needs which are drawing model parts for photo-etching. I have started a new drawing for which I need parts from an earlier drawing.

The only way I have found to complete this task is copying to the clipboard, then pasting to the new drawing. I then find that I have an assembly rather than a collection of lines and circles etc and modification is not possible, eg, substituting a larger diameter or deleting one part of the drawing.

AutoCAD .NET :: Copying Data Drawing A To B

Apr 19, 2011

There is an error "Corrupted memory" when on several machines executing some code. I know the error is in the wblockcloneobjects from drawing A to drawing B.

The strange thing about this error is:

We have 6 computers with Civil and Autocad.

Some users have no errors at all.

Some people only errors when executing it in Civil, som only when executing it in Autocad, some have it in both.

This is almost a copy of the VB.NET sample from autodesk.

This is the code where it crashes:

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServicesImports Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServicesImports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Public Class Class1
<CommandMethod("TEST", CommandFlags.Session)>
Public Sub CopyObjecten()
Dim oAppCivilDWT As String = "C:TemplatesCivil.dwt"
Dim oAppAutocadDWT As String = "C:TemplatesAutocad.dwt"
Dim oAppMechanicalDWT As String = "C:TemplatesMechanical.dwt"
RunMyCode

[Code]...

 All the modelpace objects needs to be copied to a template. (the full code does more stuff but this is the critical part)

AutoCad :: Copying Lines To Another Drawing?

Aug 1, 2013

I have two drawings: one with lines, and one which includes maps (raster image) and point cloud of latitudes of the same area (elevation in meters). I'm trying to copy these lines from the other drawing into the map-drawing, but when I'm trying drag and drop, the mouse doesn't even go to the other drawing. I also made a block of the lines and tried to insert it, but it doesn't work either.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Random Items In Drawing Will Not Plot

Apr 12, 2011

I have one user who cannot plot correctly from his workstation. All of his drawings will be missing information when they are plotted although they look perfect in the print preview. For example, at the bottom of every drawiing, he puts in a single text block: "Drawn by: SLM" and sometimes the 'S' in his initials won't get plotted, etc. He can save any of those drawings to a shared drive and plot them from a different workstation and there is no issue. We are using AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 on Windows 7 32bit.

AutoCad :: Change Descriptions Of Items In Drawing

Aug 27, 2012

I'm attempting to change the descriptions of items in my drawing that say S/40 to S/80. It's too time consuming to individually change every description. Is there a way to change them all at once? Or maybe point to a database for the description?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copying Drawings To A Sub Folder

May 28, 2013

We are copying our original files to a sub folder to make revisions that have only happened after bidding. We want to keep our original bid documents intact. I have created a sub folder called 'Confirmed Documents' and added Constructs, Sheets, Elements, etc. 

I copied the files over and used the Reference Manager to repath the files. However, all of my schedules and room tags now use the 'NA' prefix because it is not reading the project information. How can i reconnect this folder to the project folder?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Moving Items Within Part Drawing

Jun 21, 2012

I am trying to move a component within a part drawing, not an assembly. When I do "move bodies" it wants to move every extrusion within my drawing. If I click move face, then I have to click every face that I want to move (which is time consuming) and then it often times doesn't work? Sometime it works other times it just moves the origin indicator and doesn't move the faces I have selected.

AutoCAD 2013 :: New Tools In Palette Not Copying To Other Computers?

May 9, 2013

I maintain our enterprise tool palette so all others have read-only access. I keep the entire tool palette structure on a network drive, of course, so all have access to it. This works fine for all networked desktop computers but we have several laptops that are not always networked so i have copied all the necessary files, including the entire tool palette structure, to the hard drives of these laptops every time i update the palettes.

I recently added a new tool/icon to our palettes so i copied the palettes directory structure from our network drive to the local hard drives but, even after an AutoCAD reboot, the new tool does not show up.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copying DXF Layout To CAD Become A Huge File

Jul 24, 2013

Is it a proper way of copy some details or layout from DXF files to CAD file? I received multiple(10 files, 2.5mb average) DXF file from source, and they need to input  some layout of it to the base CAD Drawing file.My CAD file became huge (around 40mb) when I copy some of the layout from DXF. Do I need to save DXF file into CAD file before I copy  some of their layout to get a lower file?  I need to send the CAD file to the source for their copy.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copying / Moving Dynamic Blocks

Jan 22, 2013

My company just upgraded to 2013 from 2012, and we are having problems copying and moving dynamic blocks.  As we try to re-insert the object(s) after using the copy or move command, they disappear from the screen.  If we save the drawing and restart AutoCAD, the objects are there where we inserted them, but we cannot figure out how to make the objects reappear without restarting the program (Undo does not work).

The objects in question are dynamic blocks created with AutoCAD Civil3D 2012.  We suspect this might have something to do with conflicts between the two different versions of AutoCAD but we're not sure.  There are 5 or 6 of us who have this problem.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Multiple Items On Clipboard

Nov 27, 2012

Is there any way that Autocad can have multiple items placed on the clipboard for insertion use like the Microsoft Office Word program has (up to 24 inputs). This would be a good feature to allow going to one file, copying what you need and then switching to your current drawing file and placing them as needed.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: When Copying Or Editing Dynamic Blocks Drawing Disappears

May 24, 2012

Drawing disappear after using a dynamic block's stretch parameter?

I’ve made fairly simple dynamic blocks with lines or leaders that can be stretched and some attribute text.  After moving the stretch grip of the block the block will disappear.  If I then do a regen the entire drawing disappears.  But it seems to be only a graphical glitch based on the fact that I can then save the disappeared drawing, reopen it and everything is up to date.  I can even see my devious little dynamic blocks.  But of course if I try to edit them everything will disappear again.
