AutoCAD 2013 :: MEP 2013 Not Saving Profile Nor Workspace Settings

Aug 15, 2013

Just upgraded a user to Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium 2013 but AutoCad 2013 and AutoCad MEP 2013 are not saving settings.

On first use  the crosshair is large and angled, not standard. If I run "Rest values to default" then the settings are standard until I either restart AutoCAD or open a drawing then have the same strange cross hair.

Have tried creating a new profile, setting it as default startup profile by altering the shortcut but no matter what settings are not saved and revert to strange cross hair once AutoCAD is re-opened or a drawing is opening.If logon to computer as a user without a roaming profile all works fine.

AutoCAD 2013 :: PC3 And PMP Files On Server Not Saving Settings?

Mar 6, 2013

So we have an HP T1100 plotter and we want all the .pc3 files on the server.  I go to the plotter in my devices and printers from the start menu and I add in all my custom paper sizes.  Then I create a .pc3 file that points to a system printer on my machine for that plotter.  I then move the .pc3 file to the server.  Next thing I do is go to .pc3 file on the server and filter out all the unneeded papers sizes (arch, jis, iso, etc.) so all that shows up in the plot dialog box are the custom sizes I created.  I then re-path autocad to the server in my options.  All is fine so far, everything plots fine.

Now I go to another machine and point autocad to use the folders on the server for the plotters.  I go to plot and the .pc3 files are there but when I pick the paper size drop down selection, all the arch, jis, iso sheets, etc... that I filtered out are now there.  Well, I can go into the .pc3 file on his machine, re-filter out all those unneeded paper sizes and all is well, but then I come over to my machine and all the unneeded paper sizes are there again.  It goes back and forth.  I save on one machine and then the other one is messed up.

I cannot get the unfiltered papersizes to stay that way on the .pc3 file thats on the server.  Why is this?  I know I have the .pc3 file pointed to a system printer on my machine but we have the same printer on each machine with the same drivers.  We could just put the plotter on the server so there is no system printer but that is not an option right now.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Recover Old Profile Settings And Save Hatch Patterns

Aug 7, 2012

I am working with a client who upgraded to 2013 and their profile settings have disappeared. They also are not able to open hatch patterns that have been copied to the default folder, which is added to the support files search path.

I am not a CAD user or expert with the application, but am required to provide IT support for a client that uses the product.

Steps to recover the old profile settings and save the hatch patterns so they are available each time the application is opened?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Saving The Default Settings When Starting Up In 2014?

Aug 21, 2013

I am installing AutoCAD for the first time in a lab at a high school.  We have roaming profiles for each user.  When I launch AutoCAD for the first time as a user, the program goes through it's first time configuration, check the "Privacy Statement" and uncheck the "Show at Start up" on the welcome box.  After I log off and log back in and launch the program again, it goes through the setup again and I don't have the setting I had changed on the previous launching of the program.  I think it has something to do with the roaming profiles because when I login as myself (I don't have roaming profiles) it works fine.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Copy Settings And Toolbars From 2013 To 2014?

Dec 20, 2013

Happens every year.  Upgrade and spend half a day or more trying to get everything back to the way I had it.  All I have is a couple small toolbars for commands that are several clicks deep in the ribbons and I want them "right there" all the time.

I thought Autodesk 360 might be a good tool for this.  All it did was DOWNLOAD some old settings and destroy one of the toolbars I'd created.  They really need an override in there to specify upload, download, overwrite or don't.

I'm trying to migrate (I guess that's the technical term) my settings from 2013 Mechanical to 2014 Mechanical.  It's probably too late already, after 360 did its deal, but I really want to get this down so we don't go through it every year anymore.

I maintain that PTC had this part of it down Pro/ENGINEER.  You had a config file that was editable plain text.

AutoCAD 2013 :: 2013 Crash When Loading ANY Profile Besides Default

Jul 20, 2012

We have loaded copies of AutoCAD Architecture 2013 on several workstations.  We had tried brining over older profiles (from 2008)- which did not work, so made up new ones.  ANYTIME we go into the profile settings to load a different profile beyond the default, AutoCAD Architecture (US Imperial), eventually while working the program will crash.  We've wiped out installations of the program, registry and all, and re-installed without brining over any prior data.  Same issue.

Even when using a seperate "default" profile us as (Global) or (Metric)- same issues.  The problem with staying/modifying the workspace for the US Imperial is it will not load the complete menus with the MENULOAD command (only loads EXPRESS).  If we work within the (US Imperial), no crashing, but again, the menus are not available within that profile for some reason, so that is not an acceptable solution.

AutoCAD 2013 :: MEP 2013 Profile Lost

Jul 12, 2012

I have encountered an error in 2013 MEP.  Autocad will suddenly not load and it appears that it gets hung up looking for a profile that does not exist. "AutoCAD MEP (US Imperial)"  If I am logged in as administrato,r it opens fine.  In my own domain, however, it does not.  I have repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.  Incidentally, all of the other Autodesk programs work.  Any thoughts on where I can find that profile so that I can redirect to it?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Workspace Setting Reset

May 16, 2013

I have installed AutoCAD 2013 and Inventor and here is my problem. This versions of AutoCAD crashes a lot, usually related to making pdf's, but that, while problematic in itself, is a secondary issue and not the reason for my email.  When it crashes, it rests all my custom work place settings, even after I have saved and locked them. Restarting AutoCAD takes a few minutes, but this is VERY annoying and time consuming to reset everything everytime this crashes.  I have never encountered this problem with previous versions of CAD.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Viewports - Workspace Resets View When Activated In Paper Space

Mar 6, 2013

The model space orientation is different than the paper space orientation (I have my viewport rotated) but whenever I am working in paper space and double-click inside model space to activate the viewport, it resets/reorients the view to match the orientation in model space. It also changes the scale. If I lock the viewport and then double-click inside to activate model space it does not change.

I don't want to always have my viewports locked to work on them in paper space.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Drafting Settings Going Hinky

Oct 17, 2013

I'm using 2014 with 360 syncing on.Several times now, I've setup all my toolbars, snaps, etc the way I want them. I then save out an .arg and they also supposodly sync with 360. Then everything works fine for awhile and then in seemingly random change, they all go hinky, like they've been reset.

Also, my delete key has stopped working, and I can't redefine it in the CUI, and reloading my saved arg doesn't restore it.Also, I can't initiat a command of any kind with items selected. ie. select line then offset command. Reloading arg doesn't fix it.

AutoCAD 2013 :: UCS Icon Settings Dialogue

Nov 18, 2013

In AutoCAD 2010, the UCS Icon settings dialogue window has a 'Cone' setting for displaying coned arrows at the end point of each axis. This 'cone' setting has been removed from 2011-2014. What logical reason why this was removed and is it possible there is a hidden setting to bring it back in 2014?

I have checked profiles and workspaces and all seem to be correct.  Is this a network issue?  If our network drops connection, will these paths just go away?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Double Click Settings

Aug 29, 2013

When I go into CUI & try to customize the double click for say line & set it to bring up the properties box it works, but it changes all double click actions to do that unless there is already a default double click for a particular command. When I  set the double click in the hatch command to edit the hatch (hatch box pops up) it works but it will change the line double click to do the same thing. I don't remember having this problem in 2009. I'm saving in the CUI every time I try this.
