I am running AutoCAD 2013. My issue is that the top row of icons (New, Open, Save, etc. and all of the Autodesk 360 info) have become nearly invisible. If I hover the cursor over the icon it tells me what it is and I know I am clicking in the correct area. I think it was some sort of background transparency issue, but can't remember where to reset that to opaque.
View 7 RepliesI need to make some transparent icons for an application I have built, however I can't find the option to save as an icon in Photoshop or Illustrator, I have all the CS3 Standard Products.
Currently I am copying an image from Illustrator to photoshop, I set the background type to Transparent, and I save that file out in photoshop as a PNG, and then I use a program called Ifranview, to save that PNG as an icon, however, instead of being transparent, it has a black background, so I am hoping there is an option in one of the CS3 Standard products, or something else that can save an icon out as transparent.
How would i convert an icon file to (say) a .gif file and keep the alpha intact ??
Also, can anyone recommend really good icon sites ?
A co-worker has been having issues with the ucs icon location. In a front view of his model the UCS icon appears where expected. when shifted to a top view the icon shifts over to the right from the location it was at in the front view? What is causing it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I select the UCS icon and right-click, I get a right-click menu, but there is no options for UCS there. I thought it should give me options regarding the UCS and the UCS icon. Using vanilla AutoCAD 2013.
View 7 Replies View RelatedOne of our clients would like different file icons for the .DWG and .DXF files. I have tried numerous ways of changing them (even went as far as extracting the icons from the "acadficn.dll" file where they are originally drawn from.
If I change the file icon for one file extension, then the other changes automatically.I would love to get some pointers.
I have recently been fighting an override of some sort that doesn't want to go away. As an example, for basic copy command, I would normally select my object to copy, type C, hit the space bar, and select my object again to copy to new location. With this override, I select my object, type C, hit the space bar, and in the command line, this appears:
Command: c COPY 1 found
Current Settings: Copy mode = Multiple
Specify base point or [Displacement/mOde] : c
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 found that when I open the autocad using Classic view, the icon are dimmed as attache file, however, when I open it in annotation view, it is normal.
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday i have a new thing appearing close to my picking box inside autocad. I believe it has some relation to infer constrains options.
I go into infer constrains then i can remove some pop up box but i can't remove the blue icon you can see inside the image close to the pickbox.
How can i remove this blue icon?
I thought there was a setting for this? I want to adjust the Osnaps so they appear further away from the point. IE: As I want to pick the quadrant I have to get so close to the quadrant before the osnap shows. I can't remember the variable to adjust this distance.

I am currently making a 3d tower and the outside of the tower is glass, but when i apply the colored glass i want you can see the whole way through the tower. That isn't what it looks like in real life.
I tried adjusting the transparency of the material and the glass is still see through. I then changed it to a solid glass but then i couldn't get the color that i want and it doesn't look realistic. i tried messing with the opacity, again that had no effect. i am using AutoCad 2013.
I have multiple drawings I've been working on that have tif files laid in the background that I have been making my drawings over the top of. In order to make the linework easier to see, both on screen and on plot, I applied a 65% transparency to the layer containing the tif. Everything worked fine, and printing worked great, but when I tried to plot them to pdf, the transparency failed to plot properly. I tried PrimoPDF and the transparency worked, but the paper sizes didn't include Arch D and the plot didn't look as crisp as the one produced by AutoCAD. In the end, I ended up pay $5 per print to have the DWG files processed, because I needed the transparency to plot properly. I would like to figure out what the problem was so that next time I need to send out for prints.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I open ACA 2013, my toolbars that I have loaded turn off. Well currently only the layers toolbar remains, my custom toolbar and the properties toolbar turn off every time I open ACA with the icon or the exe file itself. If I open a drawing file the toolbars seem to remain. I also just installed the service pack, no change.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn ACA 2011 I have the project browser icon. This is easy to find and use in the 2011 quick access toolbar.
When I open the "Customize user interface" I find and select "Project Browser", then I see under the properties of the command I only see "Display" and "Advanced" nothing else is listed. This command is quite odd compared to other commands.
However, in ACA 2013 this icon is completely missing, I cannot find it in the quick access toolbar, when I search in the "Customize user interface" command list, I cannot find "Project Browser" in the search field of the command list.
How do I find the command for project browser so that I can drag it / steal it from another .cuix file?
Bonus Question: How do I stop the sheet set manager from always showing up? I use the sheets tab of the project navigator all the time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to plot a drawing with 80% transparency on the xref layers, and use a pen table to assign line thinkness (printing in black and white). But, when I go to print, AutoCAD completely ignores both of these and prints the drawing all lines at the same intensity and thickness.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis has been occuring since installing 2013 and it's not just on my computer, our other drafter has the same issue. Once it happens on one drawing it effects all open drawings and the only thing I have been able to do to get rid of it is to close out all drawings and restart AutoCAD. Attached is a screen shot since its' hard to describe.

Is there supposed to be a drop down list for the transparency property? Once I override an objects transparency to say 50 how do I change it back to ByLayer? Do I really have to just type "ByLayer"?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an image that I need to export as a PNG with a transparent background.
In PGD 2013 it works fine - PNG is saved with a transparent background.
However, in PGD 9, it saves with a white (non-transparent) background.
There was a warning dialog about transparency pop up the first time I used PGD 9 to export the PNG, but I can't remember exactly what it said - something about transparency not supported for this type of file I think. I chose to ignore always and I can't find anywhere I can re-enable that option to see if it fixes things.
