AutoCAD 2013 :: Internet Explorer 10 Not Opening Dwgs
Aug 21, 2013
Since i have all kinds of Autodesk products on my computers, i didn't notice this. But a third party programmer (not for CAD) mentioned that IE10 does not open DWGs like its predecessors IE9, IE8 and IE7 did. Is she talking about DWFs or did IE actually read DWG files?
I need my colleagues and customers to view some of the models I create, and be able to manipulate them.
No matter how much I ask, they ar not going to download a viewer - they just throw up their hands and say "can't, shan't won't". So I end up having to take numerous screen dumps and print, which in reality are much less useful.
I have seen components by some of our suppliers (though I cannot find an example now) online and viewed in Internet Explorer where I can view, manipulate, and even section their 3d models without needing to worry about viewers.
How this can be achieved with Inventor Assemblies?
I'm tracing some site plans off Google Maps. Currently I have been using print screen, saving the file, and inserting a raster image then tracing over that. That is very time consuming and a real pain in the neck when I need multiple close up shots to get the detail I need. I also would like to do this to get accurate spot elevation information transferred from Google Earth to my AutoCAD drawings.
Is there a way to make Internet Explorer or Google Earth translucent such that I can still see the ghosted image of the map over AutoCAD, but be working in AutoCAD, not Google?
I am attempting to install Photoshop CS3 on a new computer. I keep getting the message that the installation cannot continue until Internet Explorer is closed. I have tried disconnecting the internet, WiFi, Bluetooth. I still get the same message.
the time I use the color picker in Photoshop suddenly IE opens the Photoshop help in a separate window. Am I clicking on something? All I seem to be clicking on is the box of color ranges in the color picker. I thought the Photoshop help was supposed to open if you click on the Photoshop eye on the toolbar, which isn't in CS4.
When opening a parcel (xml) report created from AutoCAD Civil3D 2012, Internet Explorer 10 displays message stating "internet explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or activex controls."
In Internet Explorer 9, we would previously just click "allow blocked content" and the General Legal Description dialogue box would work correctly, collapse, expand, show information when buttons are clicked, etc. The attached file does function properly with IE9, but not IE10.
After upgrading to IE10, the General Legal Description Dialogue box will not collapse, expand, the dropdown buttons will not function properly, and information is not displayed correctly after clicking "allow blocked content"
I am assuming there is a new security feature in IE10 that will not allow the script/activex control to function properly in the .html file that was created. I have reduced Security levels in IE10, and also changed settings under Tools > internet options > advanced > checked boxes: "allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer," "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer," and "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid." and restarted computer. This did not change the issue as stated above. I have also opened the html file in IE 10 64-bit and firefox, and still get the same results.
Attached is the file I am troubleshooting with. I have changed the file extension to .txt. If you download the file, just change it back to .html extension.

heres the link to download the Edge files of my project.
Is there a way to open more than one acad drawing without having to open multiple acad windows? Sort of like word. You only have one window open and you can toggle between many files.
I just installed 2012 with the Inventor pro suite. when I tried to open multiple dwg's it locked up on certain dwg's and I got the error " no cavas click on new canvas". I read an existing post that said
"I went into the CUI, current workspace, removed the Sketchbook Designer from showing in the Ribbon"
I could not find this in my cui current workspace and is this the best solution?

Any archiving or library tool that would develop a preview contact sheet - JPG, PDF, etc.. of a folder of say 700-1000 basic DWG drawings of manufacturing assemblies (not complex building layouts or anything).
We've got a ton of old drawings that we need to sift through and I don't want to open each one.
Basically I've been asked to compile a series of my best work into a collection that our sales guys can take with them as an example of the service we provide to our customers. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way, because I have a pretty big library of 3D drawings.
When I do an actual project, I toss everything into a single .dwg and just print from paper space. I have an AutoLISP script that takes all the paper space layouts and prints them to a single .pdf file with a specific name relative to the project with the current plot time and date.
I could just create a new file Library.dwg and copy/paste all of my past work into it, then make a ton of paper space layouts, but the end result would be gigantic. I'm still running AutoCAD 2013 on a crappy laptop because I won't get the budget for a real rig until the end of the month.
One thought I had was that maybe there's some way to make a viewport in paper space that directs to a model space of an external .dwg, but all of my searches turned up nothing. In fact, now that I think about it, it's driving me nuts that it isn't a feature already. Making a paper space viewport that points to an external .dwg would make my life significantly easier.
One reason I don't want to just go back and print the original pages as they exist is that I want to use the same title block template for all drawings, and mine has evolved over time. I also want to add notes to each page, and I don't want to modify the old drawings at all.
We have several people in our firm in and out of drawings. Is there a way to pull an audit trail? of sorts in order to find out who worked on drawing last? Or is this information stored somewhere in the file?
When I search in content explorer it work just fine but when I click on a drawing to open it acts like its opening but right at the end it says Error Decrypting Data and wont open I've tried to look for a solution and I cant find anything.
I am also having the "could not write to internet cache" message in Autocad 2013. I have removed and replaced the AcInetEngine19.dll and AcInet Engineps19.dll files with the files in Byron Norales has supplied in these discussion gropups, However I still get the same "could not write to internet cache message" when opening files?
I seem to not be able to add a folder that is on our network for content explorer all I see is my computers folders not the servers folder. Is there away to add them? I've tried to drag and drop and it says cant find or have access to warning.
I would like to see the drawing preview for the drawing in windows explorer. Just as if I have AutoCAD open and can see the preview for the drawing but I want to see this in Windows Explorer instead, if this is possible or not? windows explorer to show the big preview on right side showing only dwg file icon.
i have a drawing file which is corrupted with unknown reason , windows explorer is displaying file preview but anyway autocad is crashing when i try to open this file .recover and open file in another version solutions are not working..how can ı open my corrupted file?
I have an assembly that was created on 64 bit version of Inventor 2013, the total file size of everything is around 150MB. Even if I use 'Pack and Go' to move the file to another computer running the 32 bit version I get an error when I try to open it which says something like:
'unable to allocate 3GB memory for FBAttributeSegment'
The actually figure is over 3GB but of course on a 32 bit version of windows it is physically impossible to allocate that amount of memory (even with the /3GB in boot.ini hack)
I've performed various dynamic simulations as well as animations within the assembly so I'm thinking that perhaps its trying to allocate that huge amount of memory for a saved state of one of those.
What FBAtributeSegment might be and whether there is any special way to save an assembly to avoid this problem? The name FBAttributeSegment doesn't correspond to any part or assembly names.
I should also add that I have no problem opening it in a 32 bit version of Fusion which again suggests to me that it is something like simulation or animation that is causing this
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"
Now that we have switched most of our users over to 2013, we are receiving this error - only randomly, not on most drawings - but until it is resolved, we cannot batch plot, publish, because it dumps the plot. Here's a clip of the error we're receiving. When I run a Recover, it doesn't resolve the issue.
a colleague has 2013 and when he opens a file e.g.. Rob's cottage.dwg it is listed/shown as Drawing 1 in ACAD and if he tries to save he needs to browse to the folder and select the file called Rob's cottage and overwrite.......is this a setting I can't recall?
don't have PC specs handy, but was running fine for 2012 and previous versions (on subscription)
When opening a file, or attaching an external reference, the file dialog box does not always default to the last folder where a file was opened for attached from. It was defaulting to the folder at the top of the list on the left side of the dialog box until I deleted the cloud icon. But, there is still a problem with defaulting to the last path accessed.
I had a thought of creating a DWT template containing a bunch of hyperlinks to our job/model directory. The philosophy is that you would start your ACAD session and be presented with a series of links (prepared in the DWT) to various job/drawing directories and models. This would make it easy for the use to simply boot up ACAD, and then they are only 1 or 2 clicks away from accessing their job DWG.
For the most part, setting this up has been pretty easy. But I have a few questions as to ways to smooth out the process even further.
1. Is it possible to remove/disable the hyperlink 'open warning' message when trying to access a DWG via a hyperlink?
2. Is it possible to enable single click access to hyperlinks? This template/launcher DWT will be the only drawing in our office to utilise hyrperlinks, and I would like not to need the CTRL+CLICK to access the linked files/folders. This is of course not a huge issue, but I am curious about it.
3. Is it possible to have a text/attribute tag (containing a FIELD) within a BLOCK to display the path/file name of the hyperlink of the BLOCK. ie. the BLOCK will have the hyperlink, rather than the text within the block being linked. I hope that is clear.I will probably have a few more questions as I progress with this project.
When opening non native dwg files (exports say from solidworks) it doesn't bring the file into the correct areas in relation to the model being in the model space, drawings being in the paper space and not just pasting into Autocad from the non native file.
