AutoCAD 2013 :: Sharing 2013 Work Between Locations
May 29, 2013
What is the use of "regular" AutoCAD 2013 as compared to 2013 Mechanical. The question is; our office is divided between Designers that use the regular AutoCAD edition and our Engineers that would like to use Mechanical (rather than the regular CAD). Are there any conflicts resulting from sharing drawings between the two editions on AutoCAD (regular & Mechanical)?
If so, what would be the optimal method for these two departments to collaborate?

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?

I add 3 folder locations to the Support File Search Path. At random, all 3 of these locations disappear. I haven't tracked when this happens and what maybe happened previously, but I know I'm not the only one within my office that this has happened to. The paths are on a file server for our blocks.
Not sure how relevant this is, but I have a HP Z420 Workstation, W7-64-bit, Autodesk Building Design Suite Ultimate, using AutoCAD MEP 2013.

How do I move a 360 Panorama Image over to 360 so I can share the panorama? When I download the panorama it downloads as an image strip not a panorama and on the 360 Rendering page I cannot find a way to share the image.

I run the AutoCAD 2013 student version on Windows 7. I have rather little in-depth knowledge of AutoCAD and its countless parameters whose values seem to control the general settings. This is probably the issue of yet another one of those parameters.
Just yesterday as I was drafting on my laptop all of a sudden these annoying constraints started to appear all around. I somehow switched them off but ever since then, whenever two objects share even a point (or a line, for that matter, as this is simply a multitude of points), they seem to be "glued" together at that point - if I select one of the objects and try to move it, scale it, drag the shared point around to model the object ect., the other object (the one it's glued to) is skewed about that particular shared point (or line) so that it keeps being a common element of both. I figured that I have somehow told AutoCAD to regard this as some sort of constraint but how I did it or how to undo it. I tried CONSTRAINTINFER, which was set to 1, and changed it to 0, bu to no effect.

I am drawing a block that containes a number of other blocks which I want to control parametrically. For example. In one block, I have set the diameters of a circle restricted to 10 and 12-mm. I have a second block that also contains the circles which have similar restrictions. I now want to control the diameters of the circles from a single source - similar to shared parameters in Revit. Am I able to share a global parameter between blocks?
Eventually, I want to control a 2D drawing from a table only. Should I be using .Net or AutoLisp for this.

I am wondering why RPC content in Revit Architecture 2013 is not exporting, or linking when I open up the project in 3Ds Max Desing 2013. I have tried FBX, and linking that, as well as linking an .RVT file, =either "imported" the RPC objects.
Why doesn't 3Ds Max Design support these objects and is there any way to get them into 3Ds Max.

I must be missing something on how Linetypes Work. I created a folder where I store all my shape files for linetypes, and added it as both a support file search path and a working support file search path. I tried to provide as much information as I could with the images below. When I try to bring in a linetype I constantly get a bad definition error. proper way to store and implement Linotype standards.

I have recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2012 to 2013 and we have an excel file that keeps track of all our drawings. In the file there is a hyperlink to open the file in AutoCAD (click the Drawing Name). It has worked fine till we upgraded to 2013. Is there a setting or security issue I need to address to be able to open the Hyperlinks?

We have many directories, each with many drawings and each drawing has either one or many custom entries in its properties (File > Drawing Utilities > Drawing Properties.) I want to remove all the custom properties and it looks like the PROPULATE command should do this...but it doesn't work on a directory. It does work nicely on the current drawing but like i said, there are many drawings in several directories.
Is there any ~working~ way to remove all custom properties from all drawings in a particular directory?

I took the Windows 8.1 upgrade, and now AutoCad LT 2013 crashes just as the window starts to open up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and have applied SP1.1 and SP2.

When I use copy or copy with base point and paste or paste to original coordinates in another drawing, nothing is being copied.
I use autocad 2013
The isuue is dwg related. It only happens when i paste to some of my dwg (usualy the most important ones...). All the drawing files that are affected are in 2013 format, but if i save them to older version the problem persist.
I ve tried
-purge r, purge a, audit, save
-wblock explode, purge a, audit, save
to no avail.
Tried many other solutions sa well, but nothing worked. What on earth could be wrong with DWG to prevent pasting from another drawing? Those drawings have been saved to lower formats before.

I have my settings in my PC, like PGP shortcuts, user preferences, etc. When I logged in another machine, which is a clean install btw, I expect that my other machine's settings will come here. But it is the opposite. My original machine gets default shortcuts, etc.

I am upgrading the AutoCAD 2009 X 32 systems to the 2013 X64, and I have this vab code that won't work on the new system. I try to move the search path that contain the file up to the top and also got all the missing libraries, but the code still won't work.When I run the code it will give me error message like: compile error:
Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic. The code work perfectly without any error on the old system so I sure the code is causing this error.

this thread confirms that Autodesk broke the surface transparency functionality in 2013. I imagine by the lack of response to the original thread that this is either a little used or not well published feature....

I want to share toolpalettes for multi-users in a network.
i create a share-folder with full-write-and-read-status for the cad-admin. then i added the folder into the _toolpalettepath-definition in the acad-options. all other users only have only-read-status for this folder.
this folder will be define in the first position of this list.
in theorie this will work - but now a costumer test this configuration. the problem is, that texts and seperator-lines in the paletten-defintion change the order - like example.
In other postings i read the name *.aws-files - but i did not understand the meaning of this file.

I´m running Inventor 2013 under Windows 7 64-bit.
Nvidia GTX 680 did not work with GPU accelerated ray-tracing in Inventor 2013. I replaced it with a GTX 580 GPU card, exact same result. Either I´m just doing something wrong, or it plain does not work.
Are there any consumer grade GPU cards that work with the ray-tracing functionality in Inventor 2013?

I don't do a lot of programming and when I do it is mostly with older lisp commands. I have routine that works in 2010 but we are switching to 2013 and it doesn't work. The routine assigns the area of a polyline to a field. The portion of the routine that isn't working is where it assigns the object id for the polyline. Here is that portion of the routine:
;; select an object
(if (setq ent (entsel))
(progn
(setq ent (car ent))
;; Check to see if object selected is a polyline
(if (= (cdr (assoc 0 (entget ent))) "LWPOLYLINE")
(progn
;; obtain the object id from the selected entity
(setq objID (vla-get-objectid (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))

right clicking the mouse normally repeats the previous command. In this case I right click to repeat the "break at point" command. Instead of getting the break at point command, I always get the "break" command.

I have C3D 2010, 2011, and 2013 installed on my pc. I use the Publish command almost daily, and haven't had any serious issues with it when using 2010 or 2011. But in 2013, when I publish it just sits on the same screen and never actually publishes. I have tried turning off Publish in Background, I have checked that the printer support paths are the same as in 2010 and 2011, and I have tried Publish with different Page Setups.
