AutoCAD 2013 :: Import Blocks With Correct Geographical Information

Apr 2, 2013

I wish to import from a TOPCON file. The points are from a GPS unit and are in standard form (easting, northing and elevation). I have been able in import the points into AutoCAD, and although they are in the correct location relative to each other, their geographical information has been altered (ie, the old coordinates are lost, and any measurements between points are now completely inaccurate).

I am working in metric units, and I think the problem may be that when I import the block, it comes in with 'block units' in inches. I cannot see how to change this. I also cannot select 'locate using geographical information' when I insert the block, which I think may be important in preserving geographical information.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Blocks Insert At Large Scale In 2014 - Correct Scale In 2012

Nov 22, 2013

I am trying to insert a block into a file in Acad 2014 and it comes in too large.  If I insert the same block into the same file using Acad 2012 it comes in at the correct scale.  Doesn't seem to matter if insunits is 0 or 1, or insunitsdefsource or insunitsdeftarget are also 0 or 1.

There must be some variable or variables I'm missing.

AutoCad 2D :: Plotting Points As Geographical Positions In LT?

Mar 4, 2011

I am plotting geographical positions as "Points" in Autocad LT 2007. Using an Excel spreadsheet, I take a Lat and Long, convert to a UTM grid, then apply a "false origin" to make the numbers more manageable. (2 or 3 digits rather than 6). Then copy and paste to Autocad and use the POINT command to plot them all at once. This works fine but what I would really like to be able to do is to copy a text label across at the same time, to label each point with a description

If not, can I assign a label to a point one by one?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Blocks Not Coming In At Correct Scale?

Mar 4, 2013

I am having an issue inserting a detail call out "block". The blocks were created to be annotative however, when I am inserting them into my paperspace at 1" = 30' it shrinks up the block. In model space it shows at the correct size.

AutoCad :: Inserting Downloaded Blocks At Correct Scale

Apr 15, 2013

I downloaded a block of a plan view of a wheelchair user so I can see just how much space there is available.

The block is dimensioned but when I insert it and measure its dimensions, the readings are different. For example, a dimension reads 1070mm but when I measure it, I get 1023mm. Not far out but when I measure a 150mm dimension, I get 83mm. A 460mm dimension is measured as 536mm.

INSUNITS = 0

AutoCAD Inventor :: Import Part Information For BOM

Sep 30, 2011

I've been tasked with looking into the capabilities of Inventor, which we (company I work for) may not be using to their fullest. Now, I am not an Inventor user, I'm on the IT side (programming), but I know the general process for how our models/drawings/documents are created. I think a good word to describe our process is "kludgy". From what I've found in searching for a handful of hours, it seems that Inventor could do what we are doing in other programs, easier and faster.

The background: We have a database and application setup for tracking BOM with costs, weights, etc. We are using Inventor 2012 as well as Vault. We already have lots of parts and assemblies drawn/modeled. Most of our drawings/documents are made in AutoCAD, though I'm not sure how much is coming from Inventor. There are some internally developed macros for exporting these to other formats (.doc).

Would it be possible to import in the data that we already have elsewhere, and match it up to our parts/assembles in Inventor/Vault? This could allow us to improve the process by taking out some of the manual work (in AutoCAD), and improve the accuracy of the information (manual data entry).

AutoCAD VB :: Import / Export Block Table Properties Information?

Feb 13, 2013

I am working with a set of dynamic blocks, each with a block table that provides a drop down for the user to alter attributes from.  My goal is to be able to update the block table using VBA to push data from an excel file.  I do have import/export code that will update block attributes, but I am not sure the functions that would access the table properties.

Lightroom :: Import GPS Information For All Images From Bridge Into 5.3?

Feb 24, 2014

After importing my images into Lightroom 5.3, I discovered that the GPS location data was imported for some images, but not for others.  When I checked the metadata files for the same images in Bridge, the location data was present for all of my recently downloaded images.
 
Why would Lightroom import the GPS data for some images and not others?
 
Is there any way to import the location data from the Bridge metadata files into Lightroom?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plotting To PDF With Correct Scale

Mar 13, 2013

I've got a question about plotting to a measurable PDF with the correct scale.

Currently, if you plot to PDF (ARCH full bleed D 24x36 paper size) using 1:1 scale of the Layout area (including viewport, title block, etc) you get a nice PDF of the appropriate plan which would print to paper at the correct scale (1/16" = 1' 0'). If you set the plot scale to 1/16" = 1' 0' then preview/plot it then it appears completely tiny (like 2% of the page size), in the bottom left corner.

However, I want to make the PDF measurable. At the moment, if you do this using a 1:1 plot, the default numbers given by the measure tool are way out of proportion (a 29' dimension in the drawing is measured as 48,294 with no units). To get it to give accurate measurements, you have to tell Reader/Acrobat to ignore document scaling in preferences, then "Change Scale Ratio" to the appropriate scale ratio (0.625 in = 1 ft). This means you can measure to scale in Reader or Acrobat BUT these options disappear once you close Reader/Acrobat. 

creating measurable PDFs from Autocad plots?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 - Editing Properties Of Parcel In Information And Description

Sep 24, 2013

In the DWG of my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 project, I just created a parcel manually - see the first attched file. It had "Property : 1" on the original DWG, when I created.

I selected this parcel => Properties tab =>Information =>Style:Create/Edit=>Parcel Styleroperty=>Design=>Parcel name template=> Name Template/ Name: <[Parcel Style Name (CP)]>:<[Parcel Number]> was changed to SHC Lot: <[Parcel Number]> to get the new parcel name "SHC Lot : 1" on the DWG successfully - see the second attached file.

I tried to add some chemical results (23.5 mg/kg Arsenic; 66.7 mg/kg Lead; 88.9 mg/kg Mercury) into the parcel. So I selected this parcel => Properties tab => Information => Parcel Area Label Style: Create/Edit =>Parcel Name: => Layout / Label Style Composer/Component name: Parcel Name =>Text: Contents <[Name(CP)]>

I clicked on the "Arrow" sign to bring the <[Description]> into the right-hand-side of Text Component Editor - Contents. I don't know how to finish this step and how to close the "Properties of Parcel" tab on the left-hand-side of the DWG (The selection of Parcel is still on). How to finish the last step and how to close the "Properties of Parcel" tab.

I'm taking some photos for my portfolio, when I'm done tweaking them in PS, I go up to the title bar of the document>right-click>File Info, then I'll add my necessary info.

Rather than doing this every time, I remember reading or watching a tutorial years ago about importing copyright info automatically into the photo's "File Info".......

Does anyone know about this? Cause I don't remember how the heck to do it!

AutoCAD Map 3D :: SDF File Information - Create Points With Custom Information

Aug 26, 2011

I am a AutoCad drafter for telecommunications and I have utility pole points (long/lats)

I can insert the poles via long/lat and all is great, my issue is I would like more information in those points.

For example, pole number, class, HOA, Make Ready. Currently I create a survey data store and import ASCII Points using PNE(comma delimited)

So with my Excel file (this is where I get my pole information from) I get a point/northing/easting to enter into the formatting section.

I would like to add more information to these individual points, like ploe number, class, HOA...

If I view the point table I see that there are a lot of other columns, can I use them or customize them? is there a quick tutorial on this issue?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Losing Wall Blocks When Opening 2010 Arch Desktop DWG Files With 2013

Jul 14, 2012

We recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad.  We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans.  I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.

I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:

"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"

and

"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address D41218AEh"

AutoCAD 2013 :: Shared Use Of Tool Palettes Does Not Work Correct

Jan 30, 2013

I want to share toolpalettes for multi-users in a network.

i create a share-folder with full-write-and-read-status for the cad-admin. then i added the folder into the _toolpalettepath-definition in the acad-options. all other users only have only-read-status for this folder.

this folder will be define in the first position of this list.

in theorie this will work - but now a costumer test this configuration. the problem is, that texts and seperator-lines in the paletten-defintion change the order - like example.

In other postings i read the name *.aws-files - but i did not understand the meaning of this file.
