AutoCAD 2013 :: Automatic Dim Convert In File From Other File
Dec 3, 2013
I am having one query. I always recieves dwg file of diff. units from my clients. I have to convert those drawing dim manually. Is there any way by which i can import those diff units dwg files in my dwg file and get the content of these files automatically converted to the units that i want. I spend lot of time converting units.
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.
I am having difficulty converting a STP file (made in SW) to a Parasolid Text file for a customer. I was going to post the model to Customer Files, but for some reason I cannot post on there? The file size is roughly 21MB
I usually work with blender and I have a problem with a file I downloaded. It is a parasolid file (x_t) which I can't open in Blender. I can't use CADexchanger as well because I am using a MAC. How to convert the file into a STL/OBJ/3DS file that I can import in Blender? I compressed the file and it is 5.8 MB so I can't attach it here and would have to send it manually.
I've recently changed idw template and since then when I put part view into new draft the file name don't change into source file name.
In standard template, when I save the .idw file it automatically propose name that is equal to source .ipt and .iam. Why when I'm saving files it won't propose file name the same as the source ipt file name?
how to convert this 3d .stp file into a .dwg file so I can put it into my autocad drawing. I don't have any software that will open it but I've read all over that it can be done if you have the right program.
I am trying to have Inventor to automatically export a SAT file when I close the program, I have searched the discussion boards and have not been able to find any post about automatic export in Inventor or Revit.
Goal:
My goal is to have Inventor to automatically export a SAT file in order to have those who are using Revit MEP to always have a updated version of the Inventor Model in their model drawing and vise versa.. This I think would take the human factor out of the equation, WHY?.. well we humans tend to forget about those working around us and are not that good in exporting a updated file every day!
Using 2011 on W7 64 bit machine. When I try to set the location for the "Autosave File Location" or the "Temp Dwg File Location", I get the attached error message. I've done everything I know to fix it to no avail. I am on my personal laptop, I am an admin will full control rights of course, I've made sure the folders are not read only...
to convert a rather large & complicated logo in .PSD format to a Vector file, I have PS CS2 & IR CS2. Is there any way I can do it using what I already have without using the pen tool?
when trying to reopen a file from the "recently used" file list? When I try to click on a file from the list it gives me a message stating "error opening file". 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?
How can you use a template file from your personal files to use it in an already existing .dwg file.
I knwo how to do it if I start the drawing from scratch and I select that template, but I want to put this existing drawing into my personal template file from my documents.
I want to create an AutoCAD point clound (.pcg) from a FARO laser scan file (.fls). When I go through the steps in AutoCAD Mechanical 2013, I get the following error (see attached file for screen shot):
Progress....... Failure! - Fail to open scan file. Complete, 0 point cloud created, 1 failed.
Is there a program that can rename a new file to match another file name (They are in 2 different folders)
What I have is hundreds of PDF files and I have to rename each of them to match the name of an existing file in another folder. Retyping the names is killing me. I hope to find a program to click on one to match another.
how I can go about automatic creation of figures and existing alignment (i.e. Centerline and edges) using csv/txt file data format. Currently I have to snap each line to create Centerline, edge, figures etc. a headache of work! I am using Autocad civil 3D 2012.
I'll come straight out and admit: yes, my real problem here is my laziness but, ignoring that, the 'problem' I have is getting so tired of and annoyed with the whole trial & error schtick that comes with saving animated gifs (scale image, save, check file size, repeat to first step until file size is finally desirable).
Two possible solutions come to mind, one I admit is probably quite unrealistic but I would think the other has a good chance of existing.
First, the unrealistic solution possibility. Is there a plugin or anything else where I can input a file size and it could calculate the exact (or close to exact) scale I would need to resize to if I want the gif to be around that file size? (i.e. "For this gif to be 879kb your best bet would (probably) be 515 x 283")
Now then, the more realistic (or at least I think it is) solution possibility. What about being able to preview a file size of an animated gif before saving? (i.e. "If you save this 400 x 226 gif it will most likely be '(insert byte size here)'kb")
InDesign has a great feature where the filename can be inserted as variable text which will automatically update whenever the filename is changed. Is there a plug-in for Illustrator which can do the same thing?
Is it possible to automatically relink based on file type? I have hundreds of illustrator files that need three images in each changed out for a updated versions. It just so happens that the three all have different file extensions.
It seems that there should be a way to have illustrator replace the one .jpg file with another .jpg file (named differently) that's in the same location as the old file. Is there some type of more powerful scripting interface for illustrator besides the actions? vbscripting or something?
I realize that this isn't a normally supported feature of the links panel. I know that I can open each file and manually relink them as I open them. Hoping to save some time. I have to do this a couple times a year as we get in fresh images that we want to stuff into the same presentation format.
The file names contain timestamps that need to remain there so simply renaming the new files to match the old ones isn't an option either.
I had my automatic save set up for every 10 minutes but files were not being saved regularly. I deleted files from the Temp folder thinking it was full and now there are no .sv$ saving at all. How can I make drawings save automatically every 10 minutes?
I am working with a few engineers and they want me to convert the idw drawing file to a vsd "Visio" file for there redline process. They would like to be able to play with the line work in Visio. Is this possible?

I need to insert a 3d component into our AutoCAD drawing, and the vendor can only supply this as a .stp (step) file. Need to convert the attached .stp file to .dwg.
The file has been zipped because I am unable to upload a file with the .stp extension.
We are looking for a SVG to DXF file converter windows library which can be integrated into our application. The DXF files generated, should be able to be imported in EDA tools like (Altium,MentorGraphics)
We would like to know which tool can be used and the price, licensing terms as well. If there is a demo version of the library available to test it?
I have a tds raw file that I would like I would like to import into a new c3d drawing. I've tried and tried to convert it using the program inside of c3d, but to no avail.
