When I click on some text in a particular dwg. I get ghost images on the same text in the various annotative scales. I know there is a setvar that only shows the text in the current scale.
View 1 RepliesAny way to turn off the ghost text that appears when you select text that is annotative, not get rid of it just not show all of the other scales for clarity.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi am trying to clean up grayscale scans of line text to prepare it for ocr processing. i need to do three things in BATCH processes:
1) there is often some 'ghost text' that comes through from the other side of thinner pages when they are scanned, as well as some page texture. i need to strip these lighter gray marks without altering the black text. i don't want to binarize the text, as this reduces the text quality. just clear out the specific 'tone bands' of gray that are marking up the pages.
2) basic page splitting.
3) remove center gutter shadows left by scanning on a flatbed scanner.
I'm working on profiles for the first time - built my pipe network.
I have these dotted ghost lines - what they are and what I might have "on" that is causing them?
From DWG files exported off Vectorworks, in Model Space my lines are interrupted with blank area which are non removable, unpickable. If I move my drawings in MS theses black areas stay in place, the problem is: I can drag my drawing away from them but without seeing them, where they are. In Paper Space, these invisible hatch turned into grey area in random location and as grey background behind Elevation Benchmark (circle+text), room text, floor section.
How to reveal and delete these ghost Hatchs?
I don't consider myself a minimalist in any way, but I like to keep my personal folders clean of any system files. I recently changed the path for the autosave-folder as it intruded my private work files. The problem is that even though I did change the path, every time I start AutoCAD a new 'Autodesk'-folder is created in my personal folder. It still contains the sub-level 'Autosave'.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of my parts had "Invalid origin/axis" problems and I got all my visible aketches fixed. But I have what I call "ghost" sketches left from bolted connection updates, erasures etc. I can get rid of the visible points but cannot access the sketches to erase them.
The red + sign showing irritates me and I want rid of it.
I have attached the file, 2014 version, some of the adaptive features may not come thru or they may work better on another computer, who would know.
I created a drawing where I created a grading object (pad) under a site, a couple of alignements, etc.
After deleting everything to maintain layer states and settings, I saved the drawing as a starting template for day to day drawing (left it as a dwg, not dwt)
When I start a new drawing from a saveas of the template, it says that there is already a grading group named 'pad' but there isn't anything shown in the prospector. Purge hasn't worked. Any ghost entities left in a drawing.
I've also noticed that if you screw up a grading and try to delete the entire site and start over...you get weird results too. It's like it remembers old stuff you did (ghost entities) and won't let you start with a clean slate.?

acad 2012 is creating ghost files on my desktop. How do I stop the creation of them?The files are greyed out and are titled "Drawing2.dwl2".
I remember having this annoyance, for me at least, a year or so ago but don't remember how I made them disappear.
This has happened on all versions of AutoCAD in our office.
I paste schedules from Excel into AutoCAD. I print out the sheets and ghost lines appear on the PDF and hard copy that were not intentionally place in the excel file. What is happening and what can be done about it.
I also paste a tif file on a sheet change the setting to imageframe <0> and a residual line willl appear in pdf and hard copy that seems to be the border of the tif image.
I'm using AC 2011LT on a PC Every time I print to PDF or printer a line appears which is not visible on the model or paper space. It is even not visible when I preview the print before printing (again from model or paper). And on different layouts the line moves and sometimes doubles.
I have done all the regular things - all layers on, all unfrozen, all visible, etc, I've purged, regened, made a save as file, gone to another persons computer but still the same problem.
I am getting these white "ghost" boxes with every copy, move or mirror command. They can be individually deleted but that takes too long. The more there are the slower each command takes, to the point a copy can take over a minute. If I save and close then when I reopen they are gone -- until I execute a command. This is unique to a single file I recieved from a friend using a PC based Autocad; I use Autocad for Mac. I had no trouble with his file until I did a "Save As" and used it as a base for a new file. Now, every file that is a copy of it, even any file in which I x-ref it, has the same problem. All of my original, older files are fine. There is simply too much work in these (now) five files to start over. See attached.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how, if possible to make the attributes of a block show up as text. Example:
I am working on a power utility design where each power pole has a sequential name and may or may not have units that need to be added into a contract. I have my attributes set up where I can go in and assign a required number to a unit so I can export my data into excel. The problem I am having is that I have to enter the text and change the attribute quantities separately. Also, there are 40 or so different units and only a few certain ones required at each pole. Is there a way to set the attribute only to display text if the quantity is greater than zero so my list is not 40 units long at each pole?

I have used annotative text and selected yes for match orientation to layout for the text. In the viewport it is rotating automatically with the view, however the boxes around the text do not rotate as well. Is there anyway to automate this?
The Client requires a key plan which has all the pipe data on it. The key plan is oriented in one direction. Then for the plan & profile drawings, the plan is oriented in another direction. I don't want to have two create two sets of text (one for the key plan and one for the plan/profile drawing). How can I use one set of text and make it work in the key plan and for all the plan/profile drawings? Image is attached.
Recently i came to know about LISP called INCREMENT it is so useful. But i have small problem with that It Increments only in X or Y direction or according to UCS. I am looking for a command which can increment along path. In my drawigns many numbers they are in a order by room wise, i have drawn a path on numbers so number should sort as per path direction..i have tried with ALTEXT LISP but iam not getting it is not corting my numbers along path.]
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have many text entities in our drawing quoting a number "S3". We need to suffix that number with the text "PT" Most, if not all, of the "S3"'s are MText.
However, the "PT" text needs to be at about 70% of the size of the "S3" and be positioned almost like a superscript. It also needs to be a different colour for pen table reasons.
S3 = Colour 2, 0.35 text
PT = Colour 1, 0.25 text
a friend of mine happened to take a photo of a sound mixing desk on location(my building).It was a snapshot over the sound mixing console and a pair of so called ghost arms appeared(i've not got the model and spec of camera yet. I've also asked what the previous image and the image after was.)

I have tried impoting NEF, tiff and jpegs with no luck. I have also tried different bit depths which didn't work.
I'm trying to make a ghost character for a client, but I'm having issues with the material.
I'm pretty much going for something like a "casper" effect.
It's a pretty simple set up, I've using a Blinn material w/ a falloff on both the opacity map and self-illumination map so the outer edges glow yet it fades towards the camera. I've also got a displacement map for the characters subtle detail.
The only problem I'm having is the area's (such as the ears or arms) the mesh is exposed through the model's transparency. I need to figure out a way to hide this... is there anyway I can fix this?
Is there a way to replace all "ghost" colors in the doc (colors that don't exist in the swatches palette) with a global process color?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using CS5 Photoshop on a Mac OS X version 10.7.5 computer. I have recently re-opened a couple documents that I created a couple months ago, and found one layer on each doc was practically invisible. Odd that it is the same black and white key line drawing layer that is affected on each file; all other layers remain in tact.
I checked the opacity, layer eyeball, and all the settings and nothing makes a difference. In addition, I have turned off all other layers to make sure nothing is blocking it from view and it remains faded. I have duplicated the layer several times to make the image appear stronger; however, It barely makes a dent. It's as if the layer has slowly begun to evaporate!
I am trying to create a banner for a website. I want to take a portrait from another pciture and add to mine, but I want it to be "faded" or "lighter" than the actual banner.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a model containing three interlocking parts. I now need to do a version showing one of the parts with the other two parts ghosted in.
I changed the object visibility of the two I need to show ghosted to 0.3. When I do this the part is see through and shows all the hidden detail at the back of the part.
Is there a way I can ghost the other two parts in but not show what is going on behind them? I tried all the settings in object visibility but nothing seems to work? Is there another way to achieve faded parts?

View 5 Replies View RelatedPreviously in 2013, you were able to identify you clip ghost joint set and your master controller separately. HOWEVER, in maya 2014 there is only one option and that is "Set Ghost Clip Root". This works on HIK IF and only if you select the root FK controler, yet I've not been able to get it to work if I'm using a custom rig as the joint is driven by a transform (i.e. a nurbs curve). , using a reference character seems out of the question with anything related to trax and clip sequencing if you want to use the ghosting options.
