I'm going through some of the new features/ribbons such as "Design feed" and "Set Location" but when I click on these ribbons, the windows come up blank.
I am signed into my 360 account and the file I'm in is saved to my 360 account as well. why these windows are coming up blank?
We are a small business that uses AutoCAD. We are currently running 2012. We are on subscription. We only draw in 2D because most of our machines are very simple. The question is; what are the new features for 2D? It seems like the only thing Autodesk is interested in is 3D. I don't know if I want to upgrade further.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI keep finding it impossible to edit existing features from models/assy. Even if I change only 1 dim in the sketch. Once I close the sketch. The feature fails. I then try to edit the feature and I will see that the feature direction has changed, but invenotr will not allow me to switch it back. Basicallly there is no editting power at all.
So you only way I have found to complete the job is to delete the feature and then put it back in.
Is this part of the new way of inventor 2013 or is this another time wasting glitch?
Also now when I edit a sketch I must delete all of the dims, then edit and then put all dims back.
Is this also part of the new way or the direction autodesk products are heading?
I trying to use the content center feature in a part on Inventor 2013 but it doesn't work.
It does work on Inventor 2012.

Is there any limitation for viewport rotation with connected features?I have number of connected shapefiles that I can see in model view.
However, my paperspace viewport rotated for 70 degree can't show them.
I am trying to detect overlaps between two different features. They are, at the core, shape files from a GIS system and we have AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009.
I have reviewed the steps to test for Topo within a feature but don't know how to test topo between two features. I need to test for and identify "Overlaps" between feature A and Feature B and when Feature A is "Not Entirely Within" Feature B.
I have a drawing that has a connection to OS background map data which is an SDF file.
I want to create new entities in their own new autocad layer based on an offset value from a line in the SDF data.
For example I want to create a new line in a new layer that is say 1.0m offset from a kerb line that appears in the SDF file called OSMMLINE.
I do not want to add these new entities to the SDF data.
When I try to use the offset command Map starts to "populate feature Cache" which takes several minutes, then I can use the offset command in the usual way and create a new line - which "properties" says is in a feature class layer called OSMMLINE(1).

I have a situation where when I install Civl 3D 2013, which includes MS Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0, it causes our KIP Request software to fail (KIP is our large format printer). Thru extensive testing we have narrowed it down to a conflict between KIP Request and the MS Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0.I have tried uninstalling the MS VB PowerPacks10.0, which resolves my KIP request problem, and still seems to allow Civil 3D 2013 to run.
My question is - I'm sure the MS VB PowerPacks 10.0 is needed for some part of the Civil 3D 2013 software, but what features in C3D I am impacting by uninstalling MS VB PowerPacks 10.0?
So far this is the only resolution to fix the KIP Request software - but I'm afraid by fixing the KIP Request software I'm somehow messing up the Civil 3D software.
I'm plotting a drawing in which I have land parcels provided in the form of a connected ArcGIS shp file. The parcels are closed polygon features. I'd like to plot the parcels as phantom linetype. The problem is where neighboring parcels have common boundaries, Autocad Map does not filter out the overlapping boundary segments for the purpose of plotting.
As a result, the linetype becomes a mixture of phantom and solid lines and everything in between. I've tryed using plotstyles as well as styling the polygons. I don't think plot styles work with map features. The styling works when the lines do not overlap. Exploding the polygons and removing duplicate segments is not a realistic solution when working with data that is shared by true GIS programs like ArcGIS. I've seen some old postings that indicate this has been a problem for years.
When I use quick select, I can see that there are map features listed in my drawings. When I try to select these features it either says they have been selected but they aren't actually selected, or the autocad will crash forcing me to start over. How can I removed these features (which do not actually appear in the drawing) from the drawing. So many of my files seem to have this problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to use the different features in Map 3d such as the points, lines and polygon. I went to the help file and it instructed me to go to the display manager and right click on the "feature" layer to create a layer for the relevant feature that i want to use, but i have no "feature" layer in the display manager.
How do i create this layer? I use a template that is setup for c3d, is it due to this that there is no standard layer in the template?
I want different features on and off with iLogic.
I have a text parameter with a choice menu of 1,2, and 3
This I want some features on and off.
If I pass the parameter I get a message: No feature found with the name. Mvg Jos
Your drawings are only as good as the symbols that complete them...
When opening a third party drawing, is it possible to use the API to "recognize" user-created 3D features in AutoCAD? For example: grooves, holes, notches, and such? Also, if there are any attributes attached to the original 2D sketch, can those be queried as well?

My flat pattern of a sheet metal part fails when I added strenthening Press ribs to the middle of the part using an iFeature.
I know Inventor is not capable of flattening embossed sheetmetal but is there a way to still get the flat pattern & ignore the formed areas?
Seems to me I was able to add some model features in the past like bosses, extruded holes KO's etc & I could still make a flat pattern.
I know I can use derived part to do it but that adds complications.
