Jul 2, 2013First, MY specs.
Processor: AMD A6-5400K APU (with Radeon HD Graphics) - 3.60 GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB
System: 64-bit
OS: Windows 8
Version: AutoCAD 2004 LT
Second, what we do.
Commercial MEP design. Project in mention is a 65,000 sq.ft. Italian food market.
Third, the problem.I am experiencing a selection and double click editing problem with AutoCAD 2012LT & AutoCAD 2014LT. On Friday, June 28th we recieved updated (not new) backgrounds from a lighting designer for two floors of the building whose MEP system we are engineering. The second floor had no problems really; we reset some annotation scales and the updated backgrounds plugged right in. The first floor, however, was so messed up that we copied and pasted the track lights and all else into our file directly (vs. xref'ing) and instantly, after a save, it is impossible to evoke any kind of edit with double click. In order for us to modify anything, we have to type the command before editing. So if I want to DDEDIT, I have to type that in before changing the text. If I do select the text first than CAD freezes, takes a huge dump, wipes for 5 minutes, and then the text editor appears. This problem is ubiquitous with all 2012 LT machines and up. AutoCAD 2005 LT has no problem (lmfao).

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Rotate Text And Object Without Rotating Text
Aug 29, 2011I know this is located in other locations but I can't seem to make it work with my block.
I would like the cross and the text N to rotate independantly of the arrow while the N stays with the thick line. That's the easy part. How can I make the N move along the rotation path and keep the text aligned horizontally? I read something about linked action and move, but I can't make it work.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Express Tools Text Mask Hides The Text?
Jun 12, 2013On one computer, when we use ET>Text Mask, the result is that the mask hides the text. I can select the text/mask but they seem to be in the wrong draw order. I used the TextToFront command and this didn't fix it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Attributes Show Up As Text Without Manual Text Entry?
May 16, 2012I would like to know how, if possible to make the attributes of a block show up as text. Example:
I am working on a power utility design where each power pole has a sequential name and may or may not have units that need to be added into a contract. I have my attributes set up where I can go in and assign a required number to a unit so I can export my data into excel. The problem I am having is that I have to enter the text and change the attribute quantities separately. Also, there are 40 or so different units and only a few certain ones required at each pole. Is there a way to set the attribute only to display text if the quantity is greater than zero so my list is not 40 units long at each pole?
(I am using Autocad 2013, 64 bit)
AutoCAD 2013 :: Auto Rotate Text And Text Box In Multiple Viewports
Dec 19, 2013I have used annotative text and selected yes for match orientation to layout for the text. In the viewport it is rotating automatically with the view, however the boxes around the text do not rotate as well. Is there anyway to automate this?
The Client requires a key plan which has all the pipe data on it. The key plan is oriented in one direction. Then for the plan & profile drawings, the plan is oriented in another direction. I don't want to have two create two sets of text (one for the key plan and one for the plan/profile drawing). How can I use one set of text and make it work in the key plan and for all the plan/profile drawings? Image is attached.

Nov 12, 2013We have many text entities in our drawing quoting a number "S3". We need to suffix that number with the text "PT" Most, if not all, of the "S3"'s are MText.
However, the "PT" text needs to be at about 70% of the size of the "S3" and be positioned almost like a superscript. It also needs to be a different colour for pen table reasons.
S3 = Colour 2, 0.35 text
PT = Colour 1, 0.25 text
AutoCAD 2013 :: OLE Object Not Plotting In PDF
May 24, 2013I have documents from an architect that still hand drafts. I am trying to bring their drawings in via the Snapshot Tool in Adobe Acrobat and pasting into AutoCAD 2013 so I can overlay the structural notes in paperspace. And then send to plot making .pdf files. The thing is, some of the viewports are showing up in the plot and some are not. All settings in the properties pane are the same. All are on Layer 0.

Dec 5, 2012I have an Wood works Sizer to size beams and columns. What I normally do is insert an OLE object for a beam component right into Autocad. In older versions of Autocad, I could then double click on the ole object and design the beam right from autocad.
I have tried inserting one of these ole object (as a file) into Excel 2010 and everything works as expected. However, when I insert the same file (Insert...Object...From File) it is inserted as a Package. If I double click on the OLE icon I am taken into a dialog "Create Package" asking me to type the name of the file I want to package. I can't get autocad to open the source application to edit the OLE object.
If I look at the same process with inserting an excel spreadsheet, the source object will say Excel and everything works fine when do an ole open.
Is there some way to change or register a source application for my custom file type? I notice that my application is not listed in the Insert Object - Create New object type list.

Sep 25, 2013I have surface (that appears to be watertight) that I created with meshlab. I would liek to import it to AutoCAD and create a solid where this surface is cut out of it (e.g. I'd be left with a imprint that looks like the surface).
What I've done so far:
- I've exported a dxf file from Meshlab.
- It's unopenable by AutoCAD, so I import into SketchUp and export as dwg, whcih can now be opened by AutoCAD.
- I've tried convtosolid to try to convert the mesh to a solid. Additionally, subtract doesn't quite work.
I suspect this is related to the type of object the imported dwg is (is it a mesh or a surface?). how to proceed with my goals.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: How To Edit Object Properties
Oct 4, 2013My Acad experience is very old-school, and I have been away from true Autocad for a number of years.
I have been attempting to edit the properties of objects in the block editor and ran into a problem.
+ I select an object.
+ Right-click and choose Properties.
+ A list of properties is displayed, but they are not for the object I am trying to edit.
I did a test by selecting the object and using the command prompt, used the CHPROP command to change the objects color. It did change color as expected.
However, when I used the right-click/properties method, the properties shown do not show the new color. So, I suspect that my right-click/properties method is not showing me the object's properties. But, rather the default properties when any new objects are created.
So, obviously right-clicking is not the way to get there. What am I missing?
AutoCAD 2013 :: Object Cycling Using CTRL Key?
Dec 3, 2012I often have lines drawn on top of other lines and need to cycle thru them to select the correct one. I always did this before upgrading to 2013 by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the lines. That doesn't seem to work on this version. I saw some recomenedations to hold the CTRL key and space bar at the same time but that still doesn't seem to work.It would be a huge time waste if I have to turn off layers everytime to just get to 1 line that I need to offset.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Creating Size Of Object
Dec 12, 2013I am creating flat patterns of sheet metal parts and i would like cad to do some calculations for me.
For example when i am creating an object , be it a rectangle or simply a line , i dont want to have to work out my sizes on the calculator then input the size to create the object. I would like cad to do the sum for me by inputting my sum straight into the dimension of the object i am creating. E.g CLick rectangle, select a start point and type 1200-375+37+37+10+10, Then tabbing to do a similar thing for the width
The way i draw flat patterns is to start with the overall size then chop into that shape to create a finished pattern. I also have used Inventor and a software for cnc punching called Cadman. Both of these programs you can do this and what with Inventor also being a creation of autodesk i would have thought this could be done in cad as well.
Is there an add on or a simple command that will let me do this.
AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Edit Imported DWG Object
Aug 4, 2013I've tried to import a dwg file that was created by someone else but I'm having a hard time editing it. I can scale it and move it and things like that, but if i wish to change the height. I tried scaling it, but it messes up the object. The object I am trying to shorten is a measuring rack on this site [URL].......
I can't change the objects height. Perhaps it's because it's a block reference or something. I've tried editing the block itself, but i have no luck in trying to edit the height. I cant splice it either.
I've attached the file im trying to change the height of.
