I'm looking for the easiest and quickest way to create jpgs from my layout tabs in my dwg files. When I print to jpg, the quality is horrible, and how to make it better.
The best way I can find is to first make an eps file, and then convert this to a jpg, however this is pretty cumbersome. Any way to improve the quality of the print to jpg function?
The firm at which I am currently consulting uses AutoCAD 2014. My system at home has P&ID. I don't use the object/3d features -- it is just the version of AutoCAD that I wound up buying. (I think it was on special or something.) In any case, some of our drawing files have become too cumbersome to use, especially on the machines at the office, and I wonder if my P&ID is the culprit. The large files appear to have AEC objects that are bogging them down, but nobody has ADT, so we are unsure from where these objects are coming. They may be coming from the client, but I wonder if they are coming from my system. Does P&ID automatically create AEC objects and, if so, is there a way to keep it from doing that?

Now I wants to create similar plugin in MAC OS for AutoCAD 2013. I had browsed many topics but not able to find any proper solution.
So, Is it possible to create a MAC OS Specific Plugin in AutoCAD 2013 Design Architecture ??? If yes, then any links /references for the same.

Is it possible to create 3D dynamic block and export dimension data ? in detail I would like to create a pipe block, use it in a dwg with different length and export data in order to know sum of all blocks with different length.
As alternative, In case 3d dynamic block is not feasible, is it possible to export data to calculate dimension of 3D object?
I'm wondering how to create huge arrays in the best way. I have a circle and want it thousands of columns and tens of thousands of rows. Anytime I start to make this AutoCAD gets extremely slow and I was told that turning some into blocks would be best.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a dynamic block that as I select my pick point to move it over it stretches the box, however at the same time it arays 2 other lines at the same time. The trick is I need the 2 lines that array to renceter them self within the overall box thats being strtched. To put this in exact teerms I'm looking to create a dynamic block of a reinforced concrete slab that you can stretch to the length you want and at teh same time the reinforcing sysmbeol (----- X-----) will array itself and recenter. Is this possible to do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been working a while with AutoCad now but this week I received a task which I am not sure is not even possible to do.
I've been exporting drawnings from an other program into AutoCad2013 and all the objects in my drawning appear as loose objects in AutoCad. Can AutoCad create automatically blocks from these loose objects ?
Example : I added a picture of a transformer in this message. This object (2 circles, triangle and star) becomes all loose objects and is NOT one symbol anymore. My question is, if it it is possible that Autocad can recognize these loose objects and create automatically blocks from them. There are a lot of transformers in my drawnings and If I have to do it myself it will be loads of work.
Another thing they asked to do is working with correct European Symbols. I should therefore change blocks in my drawnings into correct one's. I believe when the wrong symbol is already a block it's more easy to change them. I think I should just select all wrong blocks, edit them and then update them. But before this, I have to get blocks in my drawning ofcourse.
I am looking for a solution to create a watermark in AutoCAD DWG file:
Support AutoCAD 2010 to 2014.The watermark should be looks as a half-transparent background for the original DWG file.The watermark will not change when the drawings in the original DWG file is zoomed in/out.The watermark does not depend on an external picture file.When opening the DWG file, the user cannot remove the background watermark.

I am currently using Autodesk Inventor 2013 Product Design Suite. When I open a new instance of Inventor, I get the "Welcome!" window the pops up along with the blank inventor program. From here if I attempt to create a "new" file, it seems to just freeze. I cannot even get into the window that lets you pick which template you would like to use. I have tried creating from all 4 locations (Welcome!, general toolbar, Get Started, and Inventor's file equiv).
I have no problems opening files that have already been created which leads me to believe that there must be some error in bringing up that new template window. This makes converting my 3D models into 2D autoCAD files impossible.

How can I create a layer on my xref so it doesn't affect othere sheets referencing my drawing without having to open a couple of hundred draiwngs. I know I can create my layer, freeze it, save my drawing, open all sheets referencing my xref and save them. Better yet, is there a setting I can use that makes my new layer pop up frozen on for all sheets while I work on my xref, on a newly created layer?

Here is what I would like to accomplish:
1. Construct a blank "template" drawing that already has a pre-determined data extraction table set up with every piece of valueable data that may or may not be used in the drawing showing values of zero (because there is nothing drawn yet of course)
2. The data extraction table is linked to an excel file. This excel sheet will recieve data from the linked CAD data extraction table and use the data in the pre-determined 'destination' cells to execute cost economics equations
3. I would like the data extraction table to be set up with all possible entities that may potentially get drawn into the drawing - I don't know if this is possible because in any data extraction table I have ever drawn, as soon as the entity the data table is accounting for is deleted from the drawing, the whole line from the table dissappears - in my case I would love for it to just show "zero" or null
4. The reason for all of this is to not have to create a new data extraction table and excel sheet every time - The two templates would already be linked, and all the drafter would do is draw the drawing, the appropriate data would show up in the data extraction table (eg. X amount of feet of poly line, X number of Y block), be pushed to the excel sheet in predetermined locations, cells would be linked on the sheet to execute costing equations.
I hope i have been clear enough that the project represented in the drawing does not have many possible components and that is why having them all listed in a pre-designed data extraction table would not take up much space, the benifit of having everything linked before hand is the goal.
I tried to create a 2d section of a 3d dwg file (imported from Revit)
It kept giving me a message "There are no solids or surfaces that can be projected."
What is the reason of it? It's a 3d dwg file exported from Revit.
Also, can you generate a 2d section thru the xref.
I have been asked to create a simple hatch pattern but it has been years since I've done this.
My hope and assumption is the pattern already exists.

I'm having some difficulty in deciding how to go about creating a title block for my drawings. I have attempted to create the title block with Document fields from the drawing properties custom properties tab, and creating the same fields with information from the Sheet / Sheet Set fields. Both title blocks used attributes inside the block to house the fields, and both were .dwt files.
Is there a way to take the properties from the .dwt drawing into a newly created drawing, or is there a way to link custom sheet set properties with a newly created sheet set? The main goal is to not have the user manually input multiple custom fields either in the drawing properties or the sheet set manager of the new drawing.
I'm having some difficulty with a new issue that is occuring:I have a 3D model that I'm attempting to render. It has rendered recently with no issues. Now, this morning, I get the following error message:

I've closed/reopened the file to no avail.Also, I've closed/restarted ACAD.It always seems that AutoCAD acts goofy whenever I have a deadline.
I am trying to find the best way to accomplish the task of populating an auditorium section with chairs. So far, I have created the arc path of the section and then offset each row the specified distance. From there I place a copy of the chair at one end of every path and then use the PATH Array tool in AutoCAD LT 2013. While this works, it doesn't seem to be very efficient (can actually be a royal pain, if changes are required) and was wondering if there is a better way to accomplish this goal?
What I would like to do is to use the POLAR Array tool and just work from the first row. That way, I could maintain all the necessary associativity and edit the array as a whole. However, this tool doesn't appear to offer the option of changing the quantities on successive rows, which led me to the above approach.
How I could use the tools differently, or has an exchange app that will accomplish what I am looking to do.
