AutoCAD Architecture :: Change Selection Of Scheduled Objects In External Drawing

Jan 21, 2013

I have three drawing constructs.I have door tags and room tags. I have schedules. All work just fine. However, I need to combine all three Finish and all three Door schedules into one multi-level schedule for each, doors and finishes. In views, I schedule the external references by selecting the YES option in the properties dialog box. The problem is that the drawing contains doors and spaces that I do not want to be part of the schedule. How do I deselect the objects that I want to be in the schedule?

The other problem is I can only select one drawing. It makes no sense to have separate schedules for each floor on a small project where there are only 10-20 rooms. As a work around I can create the schedules in constructs, import all the constructs into a view, clip all the constructs and the stitch the tables together. This is cumbersome, does not update seamlessly and results in unnecessary file sizes.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Editing Property Sets From External Objects - Removal Of File Lock

Sep 4, 2012

I've got a problem following playing around (Typical, isn't it?). Architecture 2011 allows editing property sets from external objects through the host drawing (i.e. change a room number of a property set attached to a space xref'ed in from another construct). This obviously has to put an editing lock onto the xref to prevent data loss in case somebody else works on the xref in the meantime. This editing lock is removed when I close my host drawing. However, the lock is immediately restored when I re-open the host drawing.

How can I release the xref file lock again after editing the property sets in my host drawing?

AutoCAD Architecture :: All Objects In Drawing Locked

May 13, 2011

On a large 2012 drawing, suddenly the entire drawing is half tone and every object is locked. When you try to select an object, the little lock symbol apprears next to the cursor. I must have done something inadvertantly to lock the entire drawing, but I can not find any command or reference to unlock the drawing. This problem is also unique to this drawing.

AutoCAD Architecture :: This Drawing Contains Newer Versions Of Objects

Feb 15, 2013

I'm trying to work in some drawings that we got from another employee working in a different office using Civil. When I open the drawing, I get a message that says:

This drawing contains newer versions of objects

To work with the newer objects in a limited fashion, enable proxy graphics and then resave the drawings in the current version. You can also export the drawing to AutoCAD; however, be aware this permanently converts AEC objects to basic AutoCAD objects.

I tried typing in PROXYGRAPHICS and turning it to 0, then resaved it and closed it. When I opened it again, it still gives me the same message. I had the person that sent us the drawings resave it to different versions of AutoCAD. I still get the message.

The biggest problem I'm having with these drawings is that the units are set incorrectly for our use. They are set to civil standards. Like, when I xref in our titleblock, it comes in as being 3 inches long instead of 3 feet long. When I type in UNITS into the command line to change them, I get the message: Command not allowed because drawing contains objects from a newer version of this application. I tried usnig the -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command, but I get the same message.

AutoCAD Architecture :: XRef Objects Not Showing In Drawing

Dec 11, 2013

I have a drawing done in AutoCAD Architecture 2013.  Most of it is just lines, but I have a couple of Walls with Doors.  It looks fine in the base drawing but when I xref into another file the walls revert to their original color and the doors have disappeared.  The opening is there but no door.

I tried xredit and the doors are there but when I close that they are gone again.  Tried detaching and reattaching...still have the problem.

After I posted this tried Display Configuration.  Clicking all options for Doors gives me the doors...in a closed position, not the same as in the base plan.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Where To Change Settings For Layer Properties For AEC Objects

Feb 15, 2011

Walls are being created on layer A-Wall, in color Cyan, Lineweight .020, etc.  I'd like to edit those layer properties.  There must be a matrix somewhere that shows a list of all of the Architectural Objects, the layer that each object will be created on, and the properties of those layers.  Where in ACA2008 have they hidden this top-secret matrix?  I've accessed Layer Key Styles via about 6 different routes, and nowhere do I find a list of Objects.  I see that I could define an override for every component of a Wall object in the Style Manager / Display Properties, but it sure would be easier to just change the layer color once, wherever that's defined.  There is only one Layer Key Style accessible through Style Manager, and layer A-Wall doesn't appear in that manager- layers A-Wall-Abov, A-Wall-Blow, etc appear, but not A-Wall.  Neither does layer A-Glaz, which is where Window objects are placed.

How does a Wall object know to place itself on layer A-Wall, and where are the properties of layer A-Wall defined?

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Globally Change CELTSCALE Of All Objects In Drawing

Feb 3, 2011

How can I globally change the CELTSCALE of all objects in my drawing?  Using PROPERTIES, I can change one element at a time, but when I choose multiple objects in the drawing at the same time, PROPERTIES does not allow me to change their CELTSCALE to (say) "1".  Also, this doesn't appear to be possible using the CHANGE (Properties option) command either.  The latter only allows the LTSCALE to be changed (not CELTSCALE).

AutoCad :: Change All Of Objects Colors In Xref Drawing To Grey

Dec 29, 2011

My goal is to change all of the objects colors in an xref drawing to gray to use as a background to my work. All changes to the xref drawing were made in the drawing itself, none of this was done in the base drawing.

The quickest way I could find was to change set by layer mode to color only and use set by layer to change all of the objects (select all). This seemed to work fine, until I noticed that certain text would move slightly when the color changed. Long story short this text (single line) moves slightly when the color is changed, even if I select one text and change the color in its properties.

My question is why would text move or change in some way when you only change the color. It doesn't seem to happen to mtext, only dtext.

Photoshop :: Why Vector Selection Tool (white Arrow) Change Layer Selection To Another

Sep 1, 2013

I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
 
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
 
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

I have been using autocad for a while and have always been able to use "R" to remove objects from a selection set. All of a sudden now when I want to use that command it activates the "Redraw" command instead of letting me remove objects from my set.

How to get it back to the way I had it before?

AutoCad 2D :: Slow Selection Of Objects

Dec 22, 2011

After a few hours of everything working perfectly, AutoCAD will suddenly decide to select objects slowly (for move, copy, trim, erase etc. commands). There will be a short time lag between picking a point on the screen and creating the selection box.

The problem is only rectified by switching off the pc and rebooting.

AutoCad :: Drawing Joined External And Internal Machine Screw Threads

Nov 25, 2011

Using Autocad 2000 LT. Need to create a 2D basic drawing showing 14 TPI external and internal threads with a certain class of fit joined togeather. The basic drawing needs to be drawn in such a way that it could be easily changed to show different Threads Per Inch and or class of fit. Then, with that approach in mind, what would be the basic steps I should take in order to create the basic drawing and then easily change it to show different TPI and or class of fit. Note: I only need to show the external and internal threads, not the entire screw or object attached.

I add an entity to the PICKFIRST selection set as follows.

Editor.SetImpliedSelection(new ObjectId[] { oiTarget });entTarget.Highlight(); // Entity. 

After this, I can type the CAD command "erase", and the selected entity is erased. However, if I press the DELETE key the entity is not erased (nothing happens). Why is that?

If I select something on screen with my cursor, the DELETE will erase it.
