View 4 RepliesI used pdf attach to insert a pdf into the drawing. I have a plan drawing with viewports that references the drawing file. I tried to turn off the layer in one viewport while leaving the layer turned on in another viewport but i could not get it to plot correctly. It's off in my drawing but when i go to plot its on in all viewports. What is the reason that this happens? my plan file is too large i may have to post it seppartly

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an older drawing that was created by somebody else that is chock full of bad CAD. I have to add some leaders to some text and I'm using the "QLeader" command. For some odd reason when I implement "QLATTACH" it won't attach the leader to the text.
Yes, I could recreate the text with the Qleader command but I'm trying to avoid having to do that because there is a lot of text. I'm not a fan of the rigidness of Mleader either so that is not an option.
I have an equipment list on excel 2013, that I can't insert into my AutoCad (2014) drawing. I've tried using paste special, paste link, using both as excel work book and as an autocad table. I have a wide variety of problems with both. Pasting as autocad table sometimes it wont update, when I try to update the link it locks up the drawing. When I paste as excel workbook it doesn't plot, although it show on plot preview. Is there a memory setting that has to be changed on autcad I have 12 gigs of memory on my computer.

Before, in PL command, 2D, I could point my marker at one snap point on a line for example, then I drag my marker to one direction towards where I want the Polyline to start. I write in an number (ex. 1000 mm) for the distance from the snap point, and ENTER it. The polyline starts now 1000 mm from the snap point I chose.
NOWADAYS it attaches in an RANDOM, and for me, inappropriate place on the current drawing when I ENTER the distance
Is it some settings I have to change to get this as it was in the 2012 version?
When I attach a titleblock as an xref in paperspace, it is not lined up on my page that I have set up. It attaches to the upper right hand corner of my screen and I have to manually move it on top of my paperspace. I know there is a way to have them automatically line up.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD LT 2013. When attempting to attach a PDF as an underlay, I go to the Insert tab, choose "Attach" from the Reference panel, pick the PDF I want, and then...nothing. No dialog boxes come up, I get no error messages, it just doesn't do anything at all. I just upgraded my RAM and I know the rest of my specs are up to par, and I did get this feature to work once, but now it doesn't do anything.

So I've had this issue for a while - I try to XREF in a PDF an it just freezes up. The command line is stuck on _PDFATTACH and nothing happens. And it's not like it'd totally frozen either because as soon as I press escape it comes right out of it, so then I save the PDF down to a JPEG or TIFF and don't worry about it for a while. Still, it is quite annoying especially when I would like to use PDF Layers but can't.
How to link a jpg to an object? Map 2005 was a while ago and I haven't done it since then.

It is coming in about 4.5 feet off, My units in the micro station drawing are set to US survey feet, and I have my units set in my drawing to engineering and unitless, I have tried feet and that did not solve the problem either .
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have 12 base maps (transportation.dwg, utilities.dwg, etc) and each of these base maps is attached to a data source (.mdb). when creating a new drawing and inserting these basemaps in the Task Pane by Attach Drawings & Query, i loose the connection to the data source in the new drawing
is there a way to have the datasource carry through and retain the attachment to new drawing?
also, in alot of maps we create we Xref (Transportation.dwg) and we loose the datasource in that situation too.
i'm new at this so hopefully my question makes sense.
I have Autocad Civil 3d 2011 and recently the software was corrupted so our IT guy reinstalled everything. Now when I attempt to attach a PDF I get an error box that reads
This file cannot be opened.
The problem can be caused by several things:
- The data in the file is corrupted
- The file is an earlier format that is no longer supported
- The file format is not supported
Try to obtain a better copy of the file, recreate the file using
different settings, or convert the file to a supported file format.
Now before the reinstall, I never had an issue...never saw this message before and have attached hundreds of PDFs to drawing. The only thing I will add is around the time of the reinstall, I also had installed NITRO PDF software. I believe this installation came after the problems started...just cant remember, so I wanted to throw that out just in case.
I'm trying to attach several .pdf files into a drawing. Files that were sent to me attach with no problem, but when I scan sheets in using an HP LaserJetPro Printer/Scanner I get the following error:
PDFATTACH - Invalid Error
The problem can be caused by several things:
-The data in the file is corrupted
-The file is from an earlier format yadda yadda
-The file format is not supported
Try to obtain a better copy of the file, recreate the file using different settings or convert to a supported file format.
When I check the properties of the files I can attach -vs- the files I can not attach, I find no difference in version, security details etc., so I'm pretty sure the problem isn't that the file isn't supported of from an earlier version. I've tried several different files from my scanner and none will attach. I have also tried scanning using different settings with no joy.

But I made a fixture with a lot of point lights on it and it's a pain in the ass to try to select everything in order to move it and position it.

I get as far as selecting the pdf, but then i wait, and wait, for the next dialog box to choose path, insertion point, page etc....it never appears and I have to cancel ....getting very behind with my work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was out of town for a week and I think someone messed around with my CAD settings while I was gone. Now when I click Insert->DWG Reference, AutoCAD brings up a dialog that says: "Path to DWG file to attach:" instead of bringing me to a windows explorer type menu where I select the file to attach like it always has in the past. I can still attach xrefs by typing in xref and doing it through that menu, but what setting was changed?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have made thousands of sheet metal parts and their associated drawings without issue but this time, I made a part and attempted to make a drawing but dimension lines won't attach to certain geometry in the drawing. It acts like it will until I click the second line for the dimension then it errors, telling me the same error message that comes up when you delete a feature that previously had a dimension.
I also can't place an origin for doing a hole chart, for example. It just turns purple and says it isn't attached even though it clearly is.
i know how to attach a jpeg to my autocad drawning but that is not doing the job, i have to re-attach the jpeg every time I re-open the file. So my question is how do I insert it to my dwg? Is it the same method as pdf (attachpdf)?

I am using "Attach Text to Leader" to add information about ballooned items to the balloon leader. The same information is needed for each balloon leader as shown below.
<COMPANY>, <DESCRIPTION>
<PART NUMBER>
I would like to just copy the fields from the first "Attach to Leader Text" and paste them in the subsequent "Attach to Leader Text" instances, instead of picking the "Type" and "Property" from the pull down lists for each of the three property I want to access, each time I place a "Attach to Leader Text" .
The problem is the fields in the subsequent Attach to Leader Text pasted instances do not automatically link to iProperties on the ballooned item? how to automate this procedure/
I just upgraded to Civil 2011 from 2009 and a drawing I was working in, which had a database attached, is no longer working. Fine. I understand that upgrading may cause some things to not work properly.
So, I try to attach that same database and I get an error message that reads:Failed to create the data source file:
Database2
I tried creating a brand new database with newly imported information and it did not work. I tried creating a brand new database with no information , and still I get the same message.
Can you attach text (qty or other info) to the side of a baloon or a point on the model view? If so can the qty update automatically?
