I have a 3D point file that I would like to import into autocad 2013. The file contains survey points from which I wish to calculate volumes. There are a number of points, so entering them into autocad manually would be impractical. Is it possible to use a .PT3 file in autocad, and if so, how is it done?
View 2 RepliesI have been migrating dozens and dozens of .pat files from one version of AutoCAD to the next for many, many versions. Most recently in AutoCAD 2013 the .pat files were stored in the C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2013SupportPatterns - worked fine. During the migration to 2014 I received an install error report stating that this subdirectory did not exist and could not be created. Alternately it stated that the new default path C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupport will be used instead.
At first I created the Patterns subdirectory where it could not be done automatically. No luck. Then I placed the Patterns subdirectory in C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupportPatterns and no luck.

I know this will happen if the file has been moved to another location, but the files are in the same place as when I originally opened them. None of the files in the list will open anymore. Is this a pathing issue?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI cannot render to file has my "Output file name" box is grayed out and i can not enable it. I'm using AutoCAD 2013 (student edition).
Is it because its a student copy, or am i missing something?
Having an issue where the .ctb works in some paper space tabs and not in others. When we do the plot preview on one tab the line weight is correctly shown, and when we go to a different tab, the preview displays colors and no line weight. We tried this on two separate machines both running the same operating system, AutoCad 2013 and using the same .ctb.. We tried creating a new copy of the ctb. There must be a setting that is different in the viewports, but I can not figure out what it is.
View 6 Replies View RelatedRelating to the printing, could i have a question which i posted in printing box but no response.
Question : Could we use 1 ctb file for all drawings or need to create separate ctb files up to drawing scale?
E.g. we create ctb file for 1:100 but when we use that for details 1:10, 1:5 it's quite light.
We can use scale line weight?
I've recently been sent an IGS file via a secure file transfer site. Accessed the site, downloaded the file no problem but can't open it in ACad.
I've been advised to use the IMPORT command but this hasn't worked either, just provides me with the pop up saying only V7 & V8 are supported, see screen shot below.
Do I need to purchase a specific piece of software (plug in) to allow me to open the file?
We are providing files to a fabricator for their use. They have requested the drawing file, it is a 3D solid model AutoCAD 2013 file, be provided in .wcs format. I assume I need a piece of software to make the conversion but have not found one.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy file has over 100 layers and 20,000 containers that are in 3D. It worked fine when I drew them. After I closed the file, it always takes 5 to 10 min to open.

When opening the a .dwg file in autodesk I am prompted with a message telling me that this DWG file was saved by an application that was not developed or licenced by Autodesk. What would you like to do? I say continue opening the drawing. Next the drawing opens but another message appear Proxy Information.
The drawing you have opened or referenced contain custom objects created by an unavailable Object ARX application. You do not need the original application to display proxy representations of objects that were saved in the drawing. However, many manufacturers including Autodesk, provide object enablers that also allow you to edit these custom objects. Visit the AutoCAD Object Enabler assistant web page to locate Autodesk object enablers or contact the software publisher about object enablers for other applications.
I believe the drawing has come from a Pro E environment. The file has been attached.
I'm trying to create a new pc3 file following instructions in the help menu.
Click Application menu> Print> Manage Plotters.In the Autodesk Plotter Manager, double-click the Add-a-Plotter Wizard shortcut icon. When I click on "Manage Plotters", windows explorer opens the folder where our pc3 files are located. I don't see Add-a-Plotter Wizard shortcut icon?
I've never created a pc3 file from scratch. I've modified existing pc3 files and done a save as before, but I need to create one from scratch in 2013. Some of the old ones won't work as others have explained here [URL].......and it was suggested to make a new one. Also, when I edit a pc3 file in 2013, I no longer get the option to either "Apply changes for the current plot only" or "Save changes to the following file".
I'm starting a lighting audit project, and I'd like to create a better scene, instead of relying on libraries.
Lighting software is using .scr files. Therefore, I'd like to know if is there any way for me to create a spot-on 3d room in CAD, and converting everything into a .scr file to be read.
Attached is a .txt (forum doesn't like the .scr) library model that roughly resembles my object of study (varying dimensions).
