AutoCAD 2013 :: Inserting PDF Into DWG
Dec 19, 2013
I have been able to insert a PDF into an AutoCAD 2013 dwg but only as an attachment. This seems to be similar to xref but I can't seem to bind the pdf to the dwg. Therefore when I send the dwg to a client and they open it, they only see the drawing format and no PDF attachment. Sending the PDF as a separate file is not an acceptable solution.
Is there a way to insert a PDF and bind it to the dwg so an external reference file is not required?
I'm not interested in converting the PDF to a dxf or any other format. Just interested in knowing whether there is a way to insert and bind a PDF to an ACAD dwg.

I have 4 plans of the a building in separate files, all set to world ucs. I xref in ground floor to the first floor, then move the first floorr so it aligns. I complete the same process for plant room and roof. Having saved all the files I then xref back the first floor into the ground floor using the insertion point as 0,0,0 but the plans do not align???!!! I do the same for the other plans, the plant room plan aligns with ground floor whilst the roof plan aligns with fist floor [but not ground].
I have tried reinserting numerous times but am missing something? The files were supplied to us as dwg format but I do not know the full history.

I'm working in a different department and can't figure out why the attribute box won't open when I insert their title block. I have checked that all the variables attmode, attdia, attreq, filedia, and cmddia are all set to 1 in both drawings. What am I missing? I'm using 2014. I'm attaching the drawing I want to insert.

tried to insert Excel tables into 2013 3D? It worked fine in 2012 but we just upgraded to 2013 and it no longer works. We get an error message that Excel is not supported. Is this a new feature or a bug? Also, our old drawings with the table already inserted does not plot normally. The table characters print at diffent sizes.

Last week we upgraded to ACA 2013 from ACA 2012.
I am now having issues any time I try to insert a Block into any drawing - I get a Fatal Error.
I have uninstalled & reinstalled this afternoon but I am still having the same issue.
It happens when I am trying to insert blocks from both the Design Centre & also from Tool palettes.
Other users in my office do not have this problem, the only difference between my set-up & theirs is that I have installed the 'AEC Section Display & Tag Scale Hotfix' but I have tried uninstalling this but had the same results.

Everytime we insert a block from our library, a message pops stating:
"This application has detected a mixed version of AEC objects participating in this operation.
Newer AEC objects will be disallowd from participating in this operation."
I already converted all blocks to AutoCAD with Exploded AEC Objects, but the message persists.

My company uses a menu system to organize standard symbols. The problem is that every time I insert one of these symbols I have to reset my Osnap settings because it clears all the check boxes.

Every time I attempt to insert a block with an attribute in it from my tool pallet I get the error FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Acess Violation Reading 0x0020 Exception at 4260af08u.
If I insert a block without attributes it works fine. I even tried building a block in 2013 and then inserting it from the toolpallet, still fatal error's out.

Inserting blocks from Design Center into model space causes the fatal error: access violation message to pop up.
This never happened in 2012, and I used it from day one.
My livelihood as a 2D drafting student depends on being able to use the blocks from DesignCenter, and now all of a sudden (I've been using 2013 since the day it released with no problems at all until about a week ago) it crashes every time I try to insert a block, regardless of which method I choose to insert with (i.e. right click insert or dragging into the model space window).
I'm on an Alienware M17x R3 running Windows 7 Home Premium with a Quad-core intel i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 560M 1.5GB graphics chip.
I've tried system restore, program repair, clean uninstalls, and none of it fixes the problem. It seems that once the levee broke, so to speak, the bug is there to stay. Or perhaps more accurately, it was there the entire time and it was only a matter of time before it surfaced.
In either case, I would love, after having been a guinea pig, to see a patch issued for this if possible. Not being able to use the sample dynamic blocks is hell. Barring a patch sometime soon, I'm strongly leaning towards going back to 2012, which worked like a charm.

I recently upgraded to Map 3d 2010 to Mapd 3d 2013 and i cannot figure out how to find the commands to insert images or import/export shp files.
I'm running 2013 in "autocad classic" and did so with 2010 as well. 2010 had a menu bar pull down called "Map" where I could insert an image (Image->Insert). There was also in 2010 a toolbar named "Map" that had import shp, export shp and assign coordinate system.
I can't find any of this in 2013. I can't even find the commands in the customization to create my own toolbar. The commands work (mapiinsert, mapimport, mapexport and ADESETCRDSYS) but i can't find them listed anywhere.

I'm trying to make a small program in vb.net that creates are laser drawing. So far I was able to create the drawing from a part in inventor. The only left to do is to add the Part Number + description into this drawing. I'm really struggling on this one. I'm currently able to open the drawing and that's all. I've tried many things from examples I found on forums but it's not working. This is a sample of what I have regarding autocad in my program:
Imports Inventor
Imports System.IO
Imports AutoCAD
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput
[Code]...
I need to find a way to add Mtext but I don't find anything that I'm able to use in my program. If any of you know a good reference, or have a sample of code.

New to using VBA with AutCAD. On my drawing I have to plot some line which I am able to plot using VBA. But when it comes to delete those lines, I have to do it manually. So gave a try to BLOCKS.
When I run the macro, I get following error -Run-time error - 2145320929(802100f)
AutoCAD is unable to service automation request.

I want to insert hyperlinks to a file I have.
I use the command 'hyperlink' I select the object and the program crashes and is 'not responding'
Now the tricky is that this happens both in Autocad Map 2010 and 2013. And happens also in files I already have hyperlinks and new ones. If I run the software as an administrator in my pc, the command works excellent.
I insert hyperlinks in the files for many years and till now everything worked fine.

I am trying to insert a block from another drawing, the only way I have been to acheive this has been to open the drawing
Set ObjDocument = ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open("D:ACADBlocksGENERAL.dwg")
For Each ObjBlock In ObjDocument.Blocks
If InStr(ObjBlock.Name, "LOGO") <> 0 Then
CopyObjects
End If
Next
ObjDocument.Close
I would prefer not to open the drawing to access the block, is this possible in VBA.

I have been using the Web Mapping Server for inserting aerial photography for quite some time now. I recently upgraded to Civil 3d 2010, and now when I attempt to insert an aerial photo I get a message box that says "There was a problem adding data to Map." and the image does not show up. When tried on a machine with full administrator privileges it works just fine.
This is a new problem that does not happen in Civil 3d 2009. Here is a link to the WMS site that I have been using, it is through the Land Management Information Center with the State of Minnesota.

I wish to insert a title sheet dwg, which has attribute definitions, as a block in another dwg. I can insert it, and if I explode it, the attribute definitions appear. Otherwise they are not added to the database.
I am using standard code, which I can attach. it starts
Dim btr As BlockTableRecord
..
Dim blk As BlockReference = New BlockReference(ip, blkid)
' insert block
..
btr.AppendEntity(blk)
If btr.HasAttributeDefinitions Then
ForEach attID As ObjectId In btr
etc.
but btr.HasAttributeDefinitions = False

We have just done an overhaul of all our standard block symbols. These ultimately get saved into our title block template files.
Is there an easier way than Inserting each block individually?
Is there a variable that can automatically Redefine all blocks if I drag them in using ADC? The default setting is that any block that is already defined in that drawing will not get redefined.

I have downloaded a slew of AutoCAD linetype files and have tried to "cut and paste" them into my acad notepad with no success - (maybe that's where I'm going wrong, right off the bat). Anyway, after pasting the lines of text into my notepad and saving the updated notepad, I return to AutoCAD only to find that the linetypes are not available for use.

I am trying to insert some blocks that i read from CSV file. I am reading the values for X and Y position from a CSV file and inseting blocks with this values in AutoCAD.
Here is my
[CommandMethod("BI_5")] public void BlockInsert_5() { String filePath="C:\Users\Dimitar\Desktop\imp.csv"; CsvDoc csv = new CsvDoc(filePath, true); for (int i = 0; i < csv.Data.Count; i++) { string blockQualifiedFileName = csv.Get<string>(i, "Block Path"); double scale = 3.0; Vector3d DispacementVector = new Vector3d(Double.Parse(csv.Get<string>(i, "PosX")), Double.Parse(csv.Get<string>(i, "PosY")), 0); // Database tmpDb = new Database(false, true); tmpDb.ReadDwgFile(blockQualifiedFileName, System.IO.FileShare.Read, true, ""); Matrix3d Transform = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem; Transform = Transform * Matrix3d.Scaling(scale, Point3d.Origin) * Matrix3d.Displacement(DispacementVector / scale); db.Insert(Transform, tmpDb, true); } }
One of the values for Y is 0. And the block instead of showing on X,0 it shows at some X,Y value. If you need to see the csv file I can upload it.
