AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot Edit Project Properties 2014 On W8

Nov 18, 2013

I am running Architecture 2014 (PrDS-U) on a Windows8 Pro N.

In Architecture I am a frequent user of the Project Navigator.

After moving to W8, I find that I can not edit Project properties, neither from Project Browser nor the Navigator.

The project resides on my local C:VCC and the folder is being shared on my network. It is not write protected. Everyone has full access.

Others who are connected to the share can edit the project, they are running Windows 7. I cannot.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Properties Palette In 2014 Shows Only Current Settings Of General Properties

Aug 13, 2013

It's not just the layer that isn't being displayed in the Properties Palette.    My 2014 Properties Palette isn't contextual--displays only the general info--none of the object specific information.

AutoCAD LT :: 2014 - Properties Box Does Not Display Properties Of Selected Object

Jun 6, 2013

I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.

When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.

In the attached screenshot:

1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".

2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".

3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.

I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Properties For AEC Objects Not Displaying In Properties Palette?

Jan 16, 2012

A user showed me today that she cannot see any properties for a wall, door, or other AEC object in the Properties palette.

Some options like height, width, etc. are shown, but not layer, style, etc. from the General portion of the Basic tab.

Is this going to be a reinstall scenario or is there a fix for this?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Project Base-jump For 2014?

Jul 1, 2013

It is about year I use Project Basejump (Bing Map servise) for AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 in my AutoCAD Map 2013 and it works good.

But lately I wanted to test AutoCAD Map 2014 downloading from Autodesk website demo version. I saw that Project Basejump for AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 can not installed to the new - AutoCAD Map 2014 version. I thought that it may be possible copping DLL files from FDO AutoCAD Map 2013 folder to FDO AutoCAD Map 2014 folder and adding commands (or strings) from  "provider.xml' of AutoCAD Map 2013 to AutoCAD Map 2014 "provider.xml' file. But it did not worked. Is there any way to use Project Basejump in AutoCAD Map 2014?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Project Library Folders - 2014

Apr 22, 2013

I don't normally use libraries. I'm just not a big fan of them, so if I'm wrong here about a basic concept it's no surprise. My understanding was that if you add a folder location to a project under the library heading (see image) then everything in it automatically becomes read-only when that project is active.

My intention was to test some of 2014's functionality on products that I have drawn in 2013 without mucking up my other designers who I'm not ready to upgrade, yet. So, I copied some assemblies over to a new folder on my network completely outside of the root folder of the normal working directories. I then assigned that working directory as a library in the new project file I created in 2014 specifically for testing it. I expected this to allow me to open my files without a bunch of unresolved reference problems and not have to worry about accidentally migrating files that I'm not ready to migrate.

So, why did I still manage to migrate a bunch of file that are located in the working directory that's supposed to be write protected?! Now I have actual product files that can't be opened in 2013. Luckily, I can restore these from a back-up, but what did I miss here? Did I not check a certain box somewhere or am I missing the whole concept? I really doubt this critical function of Inventor is somehow bugged in 2014.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Any Way / Method Of Doing Overall Project Properties

Jul 14, 2012

Basically a project could contain one idw file, or it could contain 20 idw files or 100 or more.

Our titleblock has about 12 entries of project information that will be consistent on all sheets whether that's one sheet or a 1000 sheets.

Is there a way to link an excel file to each idw? (I'm pretty sure not : ) ) or some way to have a central repositor for those properties so that if something changes, we don't have to go back and change each idw?

I have seen the drawing transfer management wizard, but it seems like overkill to a situation that has to have existed a long time - that being needing customer info on a titleblock. Seems like it'd be the perfect think for linking an excell file or having actual properties in the project file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Switching Project Files Destroys Responsiveness Of 2014

Jul 25, 2013

Everytime i switch project files for any reason, Inventors response time to anything gets to the point i have to close the program and open it back up.  After the program restart I'm able to use it again, but then when I have to change project files it does the same thing again.  It's wasting a lot of time for me and I'd rather not format and reinstall everything.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Created Project - No Access To The Figure Properties

Mar 7, 2013

Recently I upgraded to 2013 and I been having some issues with my survey DB, first of all I created a base data shortcuts project template folder with all my folders and a default Survey DB.

once I create my project, and import points to the default DB, I have no access to the Figure Properties. Is this feature, that worked in 11 & 12 now broken in 13? I have gone into the setting and copied a new files to the folder several times, to no avail, and there are no other versions of C3D on this machine.

So now that I have my points in the drawing, I go to translate them to my survey, generally I will utilize line in the drawing between field data, and platted data to translate and rotate to the platted lot or lots and the work from there on any calcs or changes. However, when my OSNAP toolbar is docked and locked and I go to select a point line the midpoint, I have no access to the OSNAPS. This also, worked in 11 & 12, but seems broken in 13.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Title Block Properties Based On Project File?

Mar 21, 2013

As I am creating drawings for parts/assemblies, I have to fill out the customers name and the job number which I currently do on every drawing I create by right clicking on the Drawing name in the tree, going to iProperties, and then filling out the fields I need.

I have to do this for every sheet. Sometimes over 100 sheets per job.

Is there a way, within the project file maybe, to have these fields be already filled in with the customers name and job number? 

Every new project file I make is a new customer. So I'm wondering if there is someway to tweak the project file.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 Will Not Run With Screen Maximized

Oct 16, 2013

When Autocad is started, it appears to  be in a maximized window (it covers the entire screen and the windows maximize icon in the upper right corner shows maximized, but if I click on the top of the screen I can still drag the location of the Autocad window as though it was not maximized.  Clicking the windows button to show in a window reduces the Autocad window as it should and re-clicking to maximize APPEARS to maximize Autocad, but it can still be dragged from the top of the screen.

This is not a windows problem, because all of my other programs (internet explorer, MS word, etc.) will maximize as they should.

I am running windows 7, 64 bit and Autocad 2014.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 - Scaling Schedule Tags

Oct 1, 2013

how to get the annotative scale to work with schedule tags.When I use attributes in blocks I draw the attribute definition with a height that I wish it to display in PaperSpace.  Then when defining the block I select the annotative scale so that the block and text display correctly in any viewport.

However when I create Scheduling Tags using the Create Tags button on the Annotate/Scheduling tab it shrinks the text by 1/8" as soon as the tag is created.  I've made sure that the scales are set to 1:1 when I create it.  I guess I can just enlarge the text 8 times before I make the Tag.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 Spaces Display Representations

Sep 30, 2013

I have a file with several Space Styles.  As I progress on the drawings I would like to modify some of the display properties, primarily color of the fill.  I would think I could set the overall appearance of each Space Style in one location and then adjust elements of various display representations.  In my case have a red hatch for a space style but in one display rep it would be solid and in another it would be a diagonal hatch. 

As I see it, if I wish to modify the color I have to go into each display rep and adjust the color of the base hatch and click on the Style Override check box.  It seems like duplicative work.  Is there another method of setting the color of each Space Style so that it shows the same in all display reps?

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Edit Object Properties

Oct 4, 2013

My 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?

VideoStudio :: Must Use Clips With Different Properties In Same Project

Jan 20, 2012

Problem I was having was using clips of various sizes and properties in the same project. Original entry follows below.

I have a new system (see my profile) that I think should work with Pro X4 just great.

However, I had some AVI videos I tried to edit. I could not get frame resolution in the time line, as I remembered getting with older Corel products editing MPEG files.

Nevertheless, I was able to edit AVI and get good results as long as the AVI files did not have sound. When I tried to edit AVI with sound, preview was unusable. The transitions got lost during the preview, and the sound dropped out around cuts and splices and transitions.

Needless to say, editing did not go well without a decent preview. Are these artifacts of trying to edit AVI files, or is there something else amiss? Should I be capturing in MPEG or some format other than AVI?

The following settings seemed to get the best preview results, but I still had sound drop outs around cuts, splices, and transitions (which are splices). I expected the sound to x-fade around transitions.

NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 6000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 384 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 3/2(L,C,R,SL,SR)

I set the project to MPEG, even though the source was AVI, because it seemed to improve the preview response time a bit, but not enough to make a real difference.
