AutoCAD Architecture :: Copying Drawings To Sub Folder And Lost Project Link?
May 29, 2013
We are copying our original files to a sub folder to make revisions that have only happened after bidding. We want to keep our original bid documents intact. I have created a sub folder called 'Conformed Documents' and added Constructs, Sheets, Elements, ect.
I copied the files over and used the Reference Manager to repath the files. However, all of my schedules and room tags now use the 'NA' prefix because it is not reading the project information. How can i reconnect this folder to the project folder?

When I open my project the media associated with the project shows that it is loading in the lower left hand corner of the program. It gets to about 123 files left to load and then it stops. I then have to attempt to locate all the rest of files with the Link Media tool this works for a few files and then it stops responding. What is the problem and how do I keep my project linked to its media assets?

I have cleared the media cache
Media is stored on a 8TB Raid 10 NAS connected with a Gigabit router. The NAS is on my desk connected directly to my computer through the router.

What is the best method to re-path x-refs in a project whose folder has been moved. We are talking about 60-100 x-refs here.The originals were created in ACA 2009 and were not pathed relatively; nor was Project Navigator used. We are currently using ACA 2014.

I created a new drawing in a project that already has a data shortcut folder created. How do I attach to it?
What is the difference between "Set Working Folder" and "Set Data Shortcuts Project Folder"

I have a Project Template that is used when creating a new project. I noticed that the Tool Palette in the Project Template and the Tool Palette in the new Project are not the same. How do I get the new Projects to pull the same Tool Palettes from the Project Template?

I'm having some trouble while copying between drawings. I am attempting to merge a number of floor plans which are all saved as seperate drawings into 1 drawing. However whenever I copy the floor plan over to another drawing, some of the lines/objects seem to be displaced.

Got a strange problem when copying geometry that contains splines between drawings.
The image below shows the results, the white dashed line shows the copy result, the blue dots are the control points, and the red line shows the copy input.
It seems that the control points are correct, but the tangencies of those points, or control vertices are WAAAAAY out.
I also get the same result when inserting the geometry as a block..

I have been trying to figure out how to copy a Layout from one DWG to another. I know there are several threads about this, and I have tried the methods they reccomend, but I am having an unusual problem.
I have been trying to open a Layout by using the "from Template" option for creating a new Layout, then opening the DWG containing the desired Layout. It works, but everything drawn in model space ends up compressed into the lower left corner and there is nothing in model space. So, the paper space information from the Layout is being imported, but the drawing info is getting mixed up somehow.
I have tried using the Design Center with identical results.

How can know if entities are being manually copied and pasted between drawings.A thought is to add a GUID to each entities Xdata and check if the value is in the named object dictionary.

I am doing electrical drawings with the architect giving me an exported DWG from Vectorworks. I have XREF the background drawing that when opened is about 6 blocks of the building background and 2 blocks of the electrical devices.
Here is the problem: The architect sent me an updated DWG that only has the electrical updates without any backgrounds. My thought was to purge all and then select all the items and then copy with basepoint. Then open the original architects XREF drawing. Select those two electrical block, erase them (or move them to the size a fixed distance). Then paste as block from the other file. Then move the block to the correct location, explode, done.
Big problem: I just tons of this error in the command line referencing different block group numbers being ignored:
Duplicate definition of block Group-1265-1 ignored.
Then the block that was pasted added a background that wasn't in the old drawing and many of the items in that block was either missing or still had the old symbols. Can't figure out how to update the background with confidence that it is really updated with new information and not keeping old.
If I open a new drawing and paste that block in, everything comes in perfectly

Not sure if it's a bug or not but when removing a whole project the "random" folder(s) are still in the Media Storage folder. Everything connected to the project(s) are gone but not the random folder smoke creates when creating project files. Any specific reason their still in the Media Storage folder?
Im a bit of a neat-freak... After removing a whole project, is it safe to remove all the empty folders? Or would that cause problems for other projects?

I'm a new user of AutoCAD. I am creating a template, but when I try to drag or copy and paste the layers. blocks, dimstyles, multileaderstyles, etc. from design center, a message pops up that the parameter is incorrect, or it would just not drag and drop. I have the original drawing open as instructed, but nothing seems to work.

how to copy parts from the existing CC to newly created custom folders within the CC. We are now just starting to look into which parts we want to be in our custom folders moving forward.
Once we copy them over, the plan is to change the descriptions and possibly some dimension values. Because we are in the early stages of revamping our companies part number scheme the thought was to keep the out of the box P/N's currently showing in the family table of these parts. Some of these parts have already been used as "Standard" (not custom) from out of the box in the CC and these said parts have already been checked into the vault. If we are not changing the part numbers in the copied parts family table, is this going to create errors when checking these copied parts into the vault? Part of me is saying I am going to get the "This part already exists in the Vault" error message being they are standard parts But, the other part of me says technically they are different so maybe this wont be an issue. I am looking for confirmation of this.
I also would like to know if it is possible, when you have two separate custom folders in the CC can you copy the same component into both folders changing only slight things.

I think this should be an easy thing to do, but I am having problems figuring it out. I need to repath the location of a point file being used in a surface. My surface will not rebuild because it can't find the point file originally used. Drawing was used on a different computer system, so the point file directory is now pointed to the wrong path.

But, I've lost the ability to open drawings with the traditional "tree" type search.... Something like Windows Explorer. Just before this happened, I had blown up a drawing by, apparently, importing one too many iges files. Got a message that Autocad had an error and was shutting down. Now, when I hit file/open, I get nothing but the command line asking me to enter the drawing path.

I have some files (OK, 11,000 of them) and they have drawings on the bottom and text on the top. I want to erase this text and replace it with data that comes from a database. I don't know where to start.
I need to:
1. preferably find a way to erase the old data on the top, but I could do it manually
2. Insert data from specific fields into specific spots on the drawings.
3. Each drawing would have the same fields but different data corresponding to an account number. The account number is included in the name of the drawing and is a field in the database.
How to get started? I have Map3D as well, which I was told would work better than regular AutoCAD on this, but I also have regular AutoCAD. I can't even figure out how to make the database connection work.

I got a support contact a customer due to delay in opening some certain designs. The client works with a single project file to all your machines projects, being:
- 1 path in WorkSpace
- 1 path in WorkGroup
- 1 path in Content Center
After some testing I noticed that the drawings that had some missing file and fix the broken link needed had the problem of delay in opening. (9min for appears the resolve link screen) (simple drawing with 1view of the model inserted)
So I did a simple test.
Define a new project, the existing Default.ipj. And open the same file. To our surprise, the screen Resolve Link quickly appeared (30sec), quite different from the other project used.
My opinion of this delay, the current project, contains over 1million files easily. And as in the case of an Inventor file lost link searches for the file in the paths defined in the project, eventually causes loss of time behind files.
Before course, I also performed the same test on file with the option "Defer Update" and even then there was a delay(7min) in opening the file.
This visibly clear that, when using a project with a workspace without files, and open a file Inventor does not do research, trying to find substitutes for the file.
My question is:
The Defer Update should not simply ignore the model file and do not make the search, just opening the file? And also
Is there any way to set a file IPJ, with any paths in Work Groups, and Inventor, not to make a search for the file in other locations, just as it existed previously, and display the screen Resolve Link?

My kids were playing with my PC and accidently renamed my main storage drive. I renamed the drive and didnt think much of it until I opened Lightroom.
It has obviously lost the link with my catalog and is now asking to upgrade to catalog to work with LR4. I am concerned that if I go with this option I will lose all the the changes I have made to my images.
I have 55000 photos in the catalog so this would be pretty bad. I have been importing all of my files as DNG for quite a few years now and I am sure I had it set in preferences to embed changes into the DNG Files.

I am using AutoCAD Mechanical 2013. (Full version).If there is SLD with different HP rating, tag names and different cable ferrule numbers, and if there is any small change in HP rating of motor or small change in tag name, then it is time consuming work for me to go to AutoCAD and change the text by referring Excel sheet.
Is there any way to link excel sheet to AutoCAD drawings? So i can take updated excel sheet and link it with AutoCAD and if there is any change in excel sheet then it will be updated in CAD file as well.If there is any setting or grid referencing to be made. I am ready to do the required changes to meet my requirement.

I encounter a problem that I do not understand. I created a little C# routine for Autocad Electrical (2011 and 2012) which adds some drawings to the current project with the following command:
(c:ace_add_dwg_to_project dwg2add paramlst)
This method works perfectly. With the parameter list you can set the Section, Sub-Section and Descriptions of the page properties, exactly what I want. When I start the routine, I check which project is active. If the wrong project is active, I activate the appropiate project with the following command:
(c:wd_makeproj_current wdpfnam)
So, when I want to add drawings to project A and project B is active at the start of the routine, I activate project A and the drawings are added. When I want to add drawings to project A and this project is already active, the drawings are not added to the project. The method mentioned above to add drawings returns nill, which means a failure.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug of Autocad?I already tried to always activate the project I want to add drawings to, but that doesn't matter.

We are using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and AutoCAD LT 2013 in our office-just upgraded. Now, whenever we go into a drawing that uses the Archstyle (Shx) font and try to copy or paste any text, the font changes to simplex. We have to exit completely out of AutoCAD to recover the font.

When using the Associate Project to Current Drawing or Associate Project to Multiple Drawings command(s) where does this association data get stored? When using the Multiple Drawings option I do not see the save time/date being modified on the individual DWG's.
I also do not note any file being modified under the shortcut working folder which would contain associated drawing names. How does C3D "know" what project a file is associated with?
