AutoCAD 2013 :: Object Grouping Disappears
May 24, 2012
I use object grouping for several different things in AutoCAD. With the release of ACAD 2013 I occasionally get the following message upon opening a drawing:
Associative Network Evaluation Error
The object cannot be resolved or value limit has been exceeded.
Inconsistent associative objects my display geometry and grips incorrectly and update in unexpected ways when edited. You can undo to restore the associative object to its previous state.Upon receiving this message, all groups have been removed from the drawing.

I can toggle "Selection Modes, Object Grouping" on by checking the box and save my file. When I close AutoCAD 2012 and come back in Object Grouping is turned off again, even if I pull up the same drawing. I can't seem to find a lisp function or command to turn this on. Seems that my only option is to go back to the options each time and turn it on. I've got a registry entry or a lisp command I an issue to keep this turned on.

When I collect objects into, say, a drawing of a bicycle, I can do this with grouping or by creating a block (and I don't know what else). If one of the objects in the bicycle collection is itself a collection of objects--for example, a "front wheel" made up of tire, wheel frame, and spokes objects--what "grouping" method do I use such that when I explode the bicycle it only explodes the first level of objects--the objects that made up the bicycle become separate objects, but the objects that make up the front wheel stay collected as a "front wheel." (Or, is there a less deep form of explode?) Blocking the most detailed objects seems burdensome.

i'm having problem with array tool in acad2012. i draw a line, type array and hit enter. i put everything normally and hit enter when it says Enter to accept. then the line and arrayed object disappears. i don't know what's wrong with it. layers and everything is just as usual.
i did some other arrays in the same file before and they are working with no problem.

Having just installed AutoCadArchitecture 2013 last week, I've been fairly successful in fixing most of my "issues".
When I dbl. click on a line, polyline, etc, I have it set up to open the Properties Pallet, (not the quick properties box). Problem is, the first time I dbl.click on a no object it opens the Properties pallet no problem, but the second time i dbl click an object, the properties pallet completely disappears from the screen. When I dbl click the object a 3rd time, the pallet comes back. I have it set to auto-hide, but not disappear. How do I get to use the dbl. click feature to open the properties pallet every time?

I have a drawing xrefing another drawing which has the ecw attached to it - if I change the UCS the ecw disappears.
So the image only shows when the ucs is set to WUCS - I should also note that just the image disappears I can still see the image frame.

When using Autocad 2013, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons on the right side of the title bar frequently disappears. I can make it reappear by selecting the drawing name under the window tab.

This has been occurring numerous time more than it should. While in a drawing mid command, panning, typing anything pretty much my cad freezes. The rest of my computer is fine everything works properly but CAD is frozen and when i bring my pointer into the program it disappears. I can even open cad up again and the old CAD will stay open. It shows the drawings i have open on the tab bar and i can’t close out of them. I have a computer that’s more than capable to work properly.

All of a sudden my cursor will become invisible. This happens only with AutoCAD. and if I switch between drawing windows it will appear on another drawing file. I have to close the drawing and open it again and then the cursor will be back only to disappear again. The cursor is visible if I move it back to the ribbon or bottom controls. It seems to happen only when it becomes the cross-hair cursor. I can still make selection windows and right click.
Mouse is working fine with all other programs and drivers are up-to-date.

I have a small office and 2 of the associates are using autocad lt 2014 1 is using 2013 and I am using 2007. Up until a few months ago we were all on 2007.
Now when I open drawings from the 2007 version, I cannot see some of the text. I have tried the following: Checking layers to make sure they are onChecking font to make sure they are availabemaking sure annonotation is visiblemaking sure proxy graphics are onMaking a block of just the drawing objects and opening that I am not that familiar with 2014, so I cannot figure out what is happening. Note - when i look at the drawing in the preview window, I can see the text. But when I open it, it is not there. If I save in 2014, the text no longer shows up in the preview.

The viewport canvas is a great tool, I have had it working in previous versions of max but in 2013 I just can't get it to work.
The object it's self has been unwrapped and collapsed to poly no different to what I've done in the past. I bring up the viewport canvas dialog box and everything is normal until I select the paint brush tool and the object disappears, it's still in the scene but I just can't see it, it seems as though the viewport clipping has become very narrow, closing the dialog box the object returns. I've tried large and small objects, nitrous and direct x, and nothing seems to work.

In 2013, when I place a balloon, or drag an existing one around, the text inside the balloon either disappears or gets mundged. My hardware setting is on "Performance". I tried it on "Compatability" as well with the same results.

Graphics card supports both DX10/OpenGL. Worked fine for 2011 and 2012.

Upon selecting anything in 90% of any drawings the crosshairs disappear and CAD2014 freezes for 2sec.
It's a Dell Presicion T1600, Xeon 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, Quadro2000 with a 120GB SSD as the primary running CAD2014 premium.
It started recently.
This happens even if I toggle HW acceleration. We draft mainly in model view with the 2D Wireframe style.

I have a library of blocks that I built for our company to use. We recently upgraded from 2013 to 2014 and boy did it throw our library for a loop!
There is a check box (reflectivity) that leaves the materials black when the drawing shade mode is changed to Realistic (unless you go in and uncheck the reflectivity box) and while I have figured out how to alleviate that issue (by unchecking it on our tempate and saving it) I am still having a materials issue with our blocks.
I can open the block (and turn on Realistic mode) and all the pieces have their materials like they should. I then open a new drawing and insert the same block into the drawing .. one piece is sans material.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's there on one drawing but it gone when inserted. The new drawing has been purged and doens't contain anything it shouldn't.

When applying certain SVG filters to a group that contains an object with an opacity mask, that masked object disappears. AI_Dilate_3, for example.

Trying to utilize a .sid file within Standard AutoCAD 2013, all suggestions point to an Object Enabler but notice that for 2013 all are for Civil 3D, Plant...
Is there an object enabler for Standard 2013?

I was wondering if it would be possible to do the following:
Parameters who can vary for lets say a rectangular profile with:
80x50x2
80x50x3
100x50x2
That these data sets/parameters are grouped/linked to eachother in the Parametric Table.
So when I'm doing my analyses with the profile of 100 and I change the wall thicknes from 2 to 3mm the 100 changes to the 80 variant automaticly, or asks me which version I want.
It would be handy to avoid mistakes with non excisting combinations of profiles.
Is there a custom app for Inventor that allows you to manage parameters easier? (Grouping wise to keep a better overvieuw.)

Inventor 2010 / I'm finding myself scrolling up and down the browser bar quite a lot to get to the Solid Bodies folder for example, and I was wondering if it was possible to group features into folders or something to make the journey quicker, with the benefit of also being able to just organize things a bit better.

I have an assembly that I have the BOM property set to phantom. Consists of 7 parts, each have a bom property of purchased.
All parts are the same but cut to length in the shop. Parts list are based on parts only BOM. If I create a parts list based on just the assembly, I can group the items, they all have the same part number, and display the group participants, and the item numbers and everything works as expected.
If I use this assembly as a subassembly in a larger assembly and create a partslist with the same group keys, the subassembly does not show as a group, does not show group participants or corresponding item numbers.
What I'm trying to do is show total length of a product that we buy on a spool for this assembly. To do this I'm using substitution in the qty column. Most parts are purchased each, these are purchased by length. What would cause the parts list to display as a group in one list but not in the other?

Is subtotaling still impossible with ACA 2014?
Is there a workaround to what I am trying to do? I just want to create a table that has a list of all the spaces sorted by name, give a quantity of the spaces and the combined area of all those spaces in one row of the table.
Roughly:
King 4 2000sf
Queen 2 1000sf
Suite 4 3000sf
My attached schedule gives a row for each space, except that it groups spaces of exact same areas. I want a single row for each room type.
Also, when working with spaces sometimes using Space_Add, Generate I am met with the response that a space already exists and no space can be added. The "phantom" space does not show up in the schedule, thawing all layers does not reveal any space and I've tried all my selection tricks to parse a space from the closed boundary that appears empty.

I want to be able to take a few parts and group them together to make them appear as one single entry on the parts list.
Example: I have a Liquid Level Switch, Mounting Bracket and mounting hardware in the assembly as separate parts. On the .idw Parts List I need to have them show up as one item, as a 'LLS Kit' phantom.
Also, these parts will be used on other assemblies and will probably be used with other main components (ie. Temperature switches, pressure switches, etc.) so then need to remain independent of one another.

So we have this custom construction note routine. It creates all the notes with station, offset, blah blah , and it is all together as once piece. So if you move the note group the leader will stay attached to it and it holds all of the label properties.
When I copy clip, wblock, insert these key notes into another drawing they are no longer a group and there is no way to move them all together.
This has created a lot of extra work and moving stuff around that does not seem necessary.How can I copy or move construction key notes from one drawing to another without losing the group properties. I have tried WBlock and making sure the grouping is on when I copy and paste/insert them but it still doesn't work.
Oh and we are running a 64bit 2013 with the carlson suite application,

I am developing 'enterprise' tool palettes which i've put on a networked drive to which i have write permissions and the users have read-only permissions. Within these palettes, each palette has separators and Text titles to group the commands and these groups originally appeared on everyone's computer as i expected when i first made them available. But now when i add new commands to a palette on the networked drive, the new command appears on the correct palette, but at the bottom of the palette, on the user's computers.
I have made provisions for each user to create their own collection of palettes, which are saved on their own directory and, of course, they can do whatever they want with them. But i want to prevent them from re-organizing the enterprise palettes and more importantly, if i add a new command in palette "X" and locate it in group "y" of that palette, i want it to be in that location when the users view it.
Is there some way to make the enterprise palettes on their computers look like i arrange them?

I have just upgraded to P&G Designer7 from Xara Xtreme 3.I had problems ungrouping layers.Maybe others have experienced the same difficulty.
Grouping layers is easy, of course. Shortcut CTRL+G, moves all parts to just one layer.
Ungrouping is not so easy.CTRL+U does NOT revert things to your previous multiple layers.If you've saved saved your file, next time you have to tediously re-create all your previous layers from scratch.CTRL+Z does revert to multiple layers, just as long as you haven't already saved the document.

I am working with CS6. Recently I have been recording a few actions that I like to run on a lot of my photos. Before I am done recording these actions I like to group them. Here is where the problem comes into play however...First time I play the action it shows up perfectly in the layer panel. The 2nd,3rd attempt an so on, the action that is grouped (the same action or another grouped action) will show up all jumbled in the layers panel. Sometimes the adjustment layers show up outside of the group while others the group appears to have "eaten" the first group of actions I ran. why can't I stack the actions I have written?

I think I did something unintentionally awhile back so that now every time I group or ungroup objects on a layer, the layer they are in collapses. For the life of me, I can't find anything on what keystroke I may have done (if it was a keystroke) that resulted in this happening.
