how to un-link and ole object (pdf) in 2013. Also, how do I insert it without it linking. The insert ole dialogue box gives an option to link or not, but then it will not insert the pdf.
View 4 RepliesI am using Autodesk Inventor design suite 2013.
I am wondering if there is a way to unlink the dwg and the ipn. I am making drawings ( from the solid model) for instructions. I use the same ipn for all the steps in the instructions and save each steps as separate drawings but when i open the drawings again they are in the current state the ipn is in.
I usually work in 2 viewports in my model-space (one Top and one Front) now I'm taking over a project from a college and it seems like my 2 viewports become linked so that when I switch between them the other one flips, can this strange link be broken?

1. Is any chance to get shortcut "unlink" as "S" key? I open Keyboard shortcuts menu and type "unlink" but there is no function. So, can I modyfy a key to be as hortcut of unlink?
2. How can I save project and then send it to my mate that he can open it withouts any problems? There is an option to "save videos" with project files automatically? Sony Vegas has that options and this is great!

I somehow screwed up all my pages so that they're linked together to share all the same width and height dimensions. I need some pages only a certain height and others shorter, taller, etc. When I edit the size to say 1000x width and 3000x height somehow all the other pages either lengthen or shorten and cut content.

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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a Tiff file and it is constantly trying to jump from the background to the foreground… I have tried putting it on layer and locking the layer in 2012 but this is no longer working in 2013.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use object grouping for several different things in AutoCAD. With the release of ACAD 2013 I occasionally get the following message upon opening a drawing:
Associative Network Evaluation Error
The object cannot be resolved or value limit has been exceeded.
Inconsistent associative objects my display geometry and grips incorrectly and update in unexpected ways when edited. You can undo to restore the associative object to its previous state.Upon receiving this message, all groups have been removed from the drawing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy 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?
I 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 RelatedI 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.
I'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.

I’ve got a student version (AutoCAD for Mac 2013) , which I got from official website. There starting to appear few problems after a few months of my work.
1. when I’m doing a rectangle, lines that intersect or just lines that contact, in the point of connection appear small blue rectangles and windows of mistakes. If I trying to move only one element of this object, all others elements start to deform in chaotic way.
2. when I’m coping any object on the same page in one file, program start to buzz and I need to close the program despotic.
In the attached file there is a single 3D solid object. But there seems to be several unconnected lines, out in space, that are part of the object, but un editable. By selecting individual edges (on the problem geometry) edges on the solid are also being selected.
