I have copied and pasted from someone’s template to mine, and the font changes. My style is set to Arial and the other template is as well. Is there another setting I am missing or a variable that maintains the information from one template to the next?

I was placing final touches on paper space viewports (changing transparency settings etc), after wrapping that up, saved. Then tried to Publish. That's where things went downhill, drawing/publishing froze, forced to restart, now the drawing only loads to ~68 - 75% and hangs / freezes. Eventually, I get a message box stating that AutoCAD physical memory low, continuing will result in data loss. Task Manager claims AutoCAD is running @ ~98% (650Mb).
I can upload the drawing to AutoCAD WS and open it on my iPhone/iPad, but the 3D viewports are limited in detail.
Tried opening on a MAC and the same thing happens.
Tried clearing the Cachemax/cachemaxtotal, still nothing...
A fundamental question that comes across regularly is calculating values for offset distances, move, radii, etc. If I want to calculate a value of .5 the interface does not accept 1/2 as a valid entry.

THE TEXT: Has the first picture, i would like to keep the setting Line Space Style: "Exactly" instead of "at least" all the time, each time i open a new autocad. How can i modify this default value? is there a way to do it ?
THE LEADER: Has the picture, in my dimension style i use 2 mm standard closed filled arrow. BUT i like to use the "dot" style sometimes but i like to use the dot at 1 mm not 2 mm.
Is there a way to set individually each type of leader tip size ? With dimension style override it's not working for now..Or maybe if i could change the default properties value for the particular dot in a configuration file?
I have tried multiple ways to have the intensity from our pointclouds show up inside Autocad 2013 with no success. I have tried multiple jobs exporting different formats from Cyclone 7.4. The file types I have tried are PTS, PTG, and PTX. All of these file read into AutoCad 2013 and create a Pointcloud. In AutoCad the pointcloud properties state that intensity values have been loaded, but when I attempt to view them the cloud stays white. I have also tried all the Shademode types in AutoCad. The intensity values from Cyclone appear between -1000 and +1000 values. The following is a list of steps I tried on multiple projects. Software Cyclone 7.4- AutoCad 2013 File types exported and imported PTS PTX PTG Shademodes Used All Standard Modes.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to edit some values in the data table of a shape file (*.shp) with AutoCAD Map 3d 2013.

if I create a template for the company I work for and its located in a central server,
Then create a LISP file that's is also located on the same central server, can I load that into the template,

How do I set up the templates in 2013? we just migrated from 2012 and now some of the templates are not showing up. When we installed the vault we created a drive that the vault resides in. The templates also reside on this drive but outside of the vault. in 2012 when I selected the icon to create a new part/assy/drawing I would get the following drop down menu:
now in 2013 we have a new and imporved splash screen with more options, I think:
However as you can see, there is nothing to choose. If I use the drop down arrow this work, but not much as I have the 4 standard part, assy, drawing and project icons appear. We have used the options menu and changed the file search paths to point to our template folder but we still do not have any options in the new menu and the drop still does not show options for sheetmetal or square parts. The drawing does open with the correct template though. I have also opened each template in 2013 and saved it so it should be migrated to the new format. but that has not worked. How to set up the new splash menu to work?

Currently have a template setup which we use and when everything is erased, purged, audited etc and the file literally cannot be purged any more the filesize is still 10mb.
There however several hundred items in the "Blocks" section of the purge dialogue box under "View items you cannot purge"..how do you get rid of these?
we have files containing hardly anything which are 20mb and empty files which are 10mb,
I have created a drawing template for survey and I need to distribute it to the field crews and eventually put it on the server. The template contains description keys, point styles, point label styles, custom point file formats, figure styles, figure prefix database, line code sets, etc.
How do I transfer all the external files along with the drawing template? Is it a straight forward copy? Etransmit doesn't seem to do it unless additional files are manually included, but I can't figure out what files to include or where they live.
I have an attribute blocks and this att block has two tag values , is there a simple code for to change 1st tag values automaticly according to 2nd values ?
for example :
1st tag (50x50) - 2nd tag ( 100 ) ==> 50x50-100
if i enter 201 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 100x100
if i enter 501 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 150x510

The default file location for the template .dwt file in my AutoCAD options keeps resetting to None (see attaached, red arrow). It should be the same location as the line below it (see attached, green arrow). I have reset it a few times now, but it keeps reverting back to None. Do you know why this is happening and/or how I can fix it so the setting will stay?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to change the way AutoCAD starts, in particular, the template drawing which opens on startup.
I want to force the user to open a template rather than have one open automatically for them, as we have many different clients all with different standards.
I tried deleting all the template files as an experiment… but somehow a blank template still loaded. How can I force AutoCAD to make the user select a template upon initial load rather than have the default template load automatically?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to convert a 2013 drawing template (IDW) to 2012?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been tasked with trying to create some type of template (or multiple templates, if needed) to convert my coordinates (some having straight lines and some having arcs) into a script file. I will be gathering the coordinates from an excel file then linking them to my script file.
My problem is, I have hundreds of sets of coordinates (all with varying arcs and straight lines and varying order in which arcs and lines are used) in which I'm trying to establish a method to convert to a script file. Also, the total number of lines (arcs and straight) vary. Some have as little as 10 lines and some contain as many as 20 lines total.
I have successfully created a script file using one set of coordinates but can't imagine doing this hundreds of times over. I have attached a PDF file showing an example of the coordinates along with the radii (in some cases there is no radius, therefore must be a straight line) and how I can accomplish this without creating a script file for each and every set of coordinates I have. The example I have is only a small portion of what I am working with.
problem labelling manholes when using the 2013 ukie template? - pipe labels show up but nothing else.
If I open the label style composer it looks fine in preview, visibility is set to true and its on the same layer as the pipe labels so should display OK. It seems to be a template setting though because if I open the metric or imperial templates and draw a network the labels all work. if I can find the right tick box it would be quicker than labelling with mtext.
I`ve been trying to create a new drawing template in autocad 2013, I have saved it as a dwt file as suggested . When i go to open the new template the first thing i notice is that the thumb nail has a black ground , while the other templates that came with autocad have a white background !...when i open the dwt file it opens like a normal dwg file in model space not in paper space. the dwt file behaves as just a normal file .
