View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have six CAD machines in our office (not including several versions of LT), and only one machine "AutoCAD 2013" is having this issue:
ATTREQ & ATTMODE keep changing to undesirable values.
We generally use "ATTREQ 0" and "ATTMODE 1" and NEVER change these except "ATTREQ" gets changed in some LISP routines depending on the insert, but "ATTMODE" had to be looked up because we never change it from 1.
I know that there is no reference to ATTMODE anywhere in our customizations.
Does AutoCAD try to manage these system variables? Is there anything else that I can check to stop this?

One way would be to have the variable names already preset in a list of strings then extract them. But is there any other faster way? I need to compare some drawings side by side.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing the VB.NET example code on exchange.autodesk.com for Defining a User Coordinate System, I pretty much copy and pasted the code to suit my needs. While the example shows how to create a UCS origin, X Axis and Y Axis from scratch, I am attempting to simply cast the values from the system variables UCSORG, UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR. These system variables are read only, and when looking into the types, I believe they are all 3D Point type values.
I'm experiencing errors when trying to run the following code, and it's making me wonder whether what I'm attempting to do is possible. The JIT Debugger is pointing out a System.InvalidCastException. Is there a problem with setting a Point3D value (from the system variable) to a Vector3D type (which is required for defining a new ucs)?

How do I pull up the system variables dialog box? (also is it considered a dialog box?)
I've always changed individual variables at the command line and in all honesty I didn't even know there was a Dialog box for them until I saw a picture of one on a post here.
When I create a new dwg, I use a macro to set all the system variables in the drawing - ltscale, hatch scale, etc. I also use the setq function and define a few new "variables" in the drawing. For instance I use setq to define a variable I call "sf" and set it equal to 72. Everything works great and I do my work and close the drawing. Next time I open the drawing, all my custom variables no longer exist. I have to use redefine them all over again. Is there a way to get these custom variables that I create with setq to stick with the drawing permanently - so I do not have to redefine them every time I close/open the drawing?

My 2011 AutoCAD LT for Mac just started randomly changing the trim, fillet, and extend variables. I looked on other posts and learned how to change them back to the default settings. Since then they keep changing back every few minutes.
Specifically, the TRIMMODE keeps changing from 0 to 1, and the fillet trim mode keeps changing from TRIM to NOTRIM. One of those settings seems to make the extend command also not work as expected. I've been using this AutoCAD install on this particular Mac for over a year. The only recent change is an upgrade to OS X.
a simple lisp file?
I want to set "hideprecision" to 1. This variable can not be saved - I looked it up in Express Tools.
So I thought a lisp file to load at start up would do the trick.
How I can reset all system variables. I refer to the variables that affect the program globally. I want all remain at the default value. One lisp?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy company is in the process of upgrading to AutoCAD 2013 (yes, I know 2014 is out, but IT won’t let us get the most recent because of fear of “new release bugs”). My company is small and our CAD Standards/Management is less than desirable. Over the past few years I have become the unofficial company CAD Manager and have slowly been getting us up to speed with using the latest capabilities and following best practices.
An issue that I deal with constantly is a new user not having the correct registry-saved system variables set up. This also happens a lot because our IT guy frequently reinstalls AutoCAD to fix issues. Every time AutoCAD is installed/reinstalled, all the registry-saved system variables are set to their default values. We have several that need to be set a certain way to match our current drafting standards (a few examples: .bak files turned off, plot.log files turned off, advanced attribute editor turned on, plot area relative to edge of paper, etc, etc.). Typically, I will get complaints from users about something not working correctly, and then I will troubleshoot the issue and eventually find out that they just had their AutoCAD reinstalled and their system variables are not set how they should be. Then I will get out my list and have them set all the variable s properly via the AutoCAD command line.
I have read up on creating AutoCAD Deployments (and we will be using these Deployments for this upgrade), but there does not seem to be a way to set variables when creating the Deployment.
Finally, to complicate things a little more, most of our users actually use AutoCAD LT (so no Lisp), and only a select few (like me) have full AutoCAD. So, we will be creating two separate Deployment files as it stands (which is not a big deal).
Some of my preferred criteria for the solution:
-Solution can be used for both AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT (I’m okay with there being two separate system variable “deployment” files since we will already have two different AutoCAD Deployments. I would just like the procedure for deploying both packages to be the same regardless of whether it’s for LT or full version).
- Solution would be able to be applied to each workstation without opening AutoCAD on each machine (and ideally, it would all happen when the AutoCAD Deployment installer was run!)
Is there any current best practices for accomplishing this? (maybe by changing the registry through batch files, VBscript files, etc? Or using AutoCAD script files – however, this requires the program to be open to run, which I was trying to avoid).

In a project i'm working on I have two large jpegs with a small zoom scaling effect. Going from 100 to 103 percent.
I've noticed that both Adobe Media Encoder and Premiere Pro experience a heavy slow down in render time as soon as the jpegs have to be rendered. Not only does the render speed almost come to a halt, the complete system lags very heavy, even the mouse cursor won't respond well.
This happens when i have GPU acceleration enabled and when i do a 2 pass H264 encoding. When I have the GPU acceleration disabled the render goes very smooth, and doesn't seem to slow down...
The jpeg is 4023 x 2677, and 6,97 MB large.
Scaling the jpeg down to about 1920x1080 in Photoshop and put that one in the timeline made the render go a lot faster.
I understand that a large picture takes a bit more time to be rendered, but we're talking about a 10minute render whit the large jpeg file and a 2 minute render with the jpeg resized. The total time of the two jpegs in the video is 5 seconds in a 3 minutes video. So, that made me think that the render times are exponentially long.
Is this considered normal, I can't remember having such big differences in CS5.

pdf drawings are king at our company. When we creat a product, pdfs (and sometimes stp files) are generated and placed in folders organized numerically by part number.
Our challenge is that finding all the current pdfs for an assembly is not automated. Thus, to get all the current drawing pdfs, someone has to open up the top level pdf, read all the part numbers, go get/print the pdfs of the parts, subassemblies, subassembly parts, etc. This is time consuming and error prone and getting worse as the number of parts we always increasing.
I'd like to automate the process. I'm thinking about a program/script that: Extract parts list from pdf of Inventor assembly drawingCopy pdf of individual parts/subassemblies to a directoryMerge all pdf for that assembly into single pdf.

As you can see the tubes aren't that greatly connected.
Each tube is blocking the pathway of the other tube.
I need them to be all connected.
The reason why, is because I will be later using this design in Inventor Fusion and Simulation CFD to have fluid in the tubes.

CS3 Photoshop on Windows XP, I've had this and has been running fine since CS3 was first released. All of a sudden, today, with no updates installed for either software or OS, it's Crashing (not responding) on program start-up, always at same point, when says "find system profiles". I did the ctrl+alt+shift start-up and reset, to no avail. I'm about to start going into all the other clean up options... but was hoping one of the forum gurus would recognize what's happened and point me in the right direction without all the trial-and-error fun.
