"the properties of these layers should be evaluated to ensure they display as intended in paper space viewports and in layer states.

Recently I have purchased the above software to be installed on a 32 bit PC. However, the USB installation that came is 64 bit and the free trial on Autodesk website, although it offers the 32 bit, is also 64 bit.
It seems that the 32 bit version does not exist. Is there a way around this? I was hoping to download the 32 bit trial version and using the serial number and product key of the 64 bit.
We people are doing the Autocad CAD customization using COM & .NET API.
Now I have heard that we can read or write thedwg file using realdwg toolkit without installing AuotCAD on my machine so it is beneficial that we can do without AutoCAD.
Rather than this advantage, how it can be usefult to our team if our organization will but it ?
Trying to migrate my copy of AcadLT 2010 from and XP to Win7. I have successfully moved my menu customization, but do not have the custom settings for point mode/size and leaders that I had set. What file(s) am I looking to move to get this done?

I've checked the layer freeze setting and made sure there is a defined page setup to use in Publish. It's the same setup they plot individually with. I get the same result if I plot directly to our Toshiba printer or to PDF using the CutePDF driver.
When I open up AutoCAD 2013 I get the following msg.
"The Modules Program Directroy does not exist. May need to reinstall"
What is the MPD and how does one reinstall it? My AutoCAD 2013 is part of the Product Design Suite Professional. I did go to the Control Panel and ran the Repair function of Mechanical Desktop, Inventor and a couple of other things but that didn't fix the problem.
I am in Customization of AutoCAD and the problem am facing is with dimensions.
Am able to get normal dimensions but problem lies in Parametric Dimensions. How to perform this Linear Constraint Dimension?
I am now looking to work with custom iProperties that will populate our company's new BOM standard. I have not done much with regards to customizing a BOM (I've always used the generic fields). Now my boss has come to me and wants to use the following headings for our BOM....
REF ID, QTY. , DESCRIPTION, SHAPE, SIZE, LENGTH, MASS, TOTAL LENGTH, TOTAL MASS, COMMENTS, REF. DWG.
REV., REV. DATE
While I understand some of these fields will require the user to manually type information in (Comments and Ref. Dwg.) The others, from my understanding, can come straight from iProperties or Parameters. I am running INV Pro 2013.
Is there a way to customize the BOM columns so that Inventor remembers which columns I need? I know that I can add in the file name column etc. but I use the same columns over and over. I find myself in every assembly adding these columns in.
Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010
I'm trying to do a customization of the Bom structure to obtain a new custom column "Qty*x" (where "X" is a number).
I need this because in my order I have multiples of these items.
So when using C3D, I have my right-click setup so that when I click on an object, say a multi-leader, surface, etc, a long menu pops up with object-specific options. Such as multi-leader styles and scales, pipe network options, etc.
So today, AutoCAD decided to be lazy and not show that menu. I've tried turning off the R-C customization, then turning it back on, switching the custom options around, applying, then setting them back to the way I had them, starting a new drawing, restarting CADD, and finally restarting my computer. NOTHING.
This has happened to me several times in the past and it just starts working properly again at some point. To draft, modifying C3D objects, without the r-c menu is such a time consuming PITA.
On older versions of Acad, I was able to go into the .mnu file and do a macro such as follows:
***POP10
**LIB2
ID_MNLIB2 [&Lib2]
[->Bolts]
[->Bolt ****'y]
[#10]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT010A;;;;
[* 1/4]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT025A;;;;
[5/16]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/HH031A;;;;
[*3/8]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/HH038A;;;;
And a new pull down menu would be created and my listing of bolts could be inserted from the std libs bolt file as I clicked through the route. I developed all of this on older versions at a different company. With 2014, I went to the CUSTOMI ZE under the main Drafting and Annotation / AutoCAD Classic pull down and created a New Menu, renamed to BOLTS and then pulled the INSERT command and dropped it ontp the BOLTS pull down and changed the DISPLAY NAME to 1/4" and edited the MACRO from ^C^C _insert to ^C^C_insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT025A;;;; Seemed to work fine....until I added another 10 bolt assemblies and then noticed that they all showed up as whatever the last bolt I had put in the Macro line was. The display name stayed correct but the insert was gloabally changed on all pull down to whatever the last item was. I have reset 2014 back to the original settings now to clear out everything I had done.
I am building a surface and started looking at the triangles and found that some are going to non-existant points. I have unfrozen, checked, etc. all of my points to make sure they are not in the drawing.

I tried to use the method HoleCenterPoints.Add (??), But despite the lack of generating an error points are not added.
presenting a brief example of this functionality.
In my drawing, I inserted a raster image file. I converted it into a block so I can modify it and I scaled it like this:
img_before.jpg
I saved my drawing and I close AutoCAD, but when I open AutoCAD again the image shown on the drawing file is not the same image that I had inserted previously.
img_after.jpg
The image shown is one that I had inserted before the first one but I had erased it from the file because I had to crop it in photoshop to reinsert it again.
I used the purge command to purge the block, I used the image command and i detached the image.
But the image says "unreferenced" when I do the "image command" even though it has the right location and folder. I don't know what to do anymore.
I have a problem with exporting layers from dwg to pdf. Problem is that i can export (or print) drawing but i missing some layers in layer manager in pdf. I have drawing with 150 layers (from other co-workers) but only mine 4 layers doesn't appear. I have check in ACAD in layer prop manager if they are plottable but this is not a problem for content from those 4 layers are exported in pdf but not in layers they have to be (those layers are missing)!
I use ACAD 2012
edit: i found out that layers doesn't appear because contetnt on them are only blocks. for eg. block is on layer 1 but contetnt of block is on layer 2 so i see only layer 2 in pdf but not layer 1
When I try to create a new font style using the standard Autodesk Swiss fonts, I get the message "font file doesn't exist". I can see that the fonts are in the AutoCAD fonts folder and that I have a file path set to that folder.

Since the parts no longer exist in the assembly, or anywhere for that matter, how can I get rid of this error? I have tried making parts and naming them the same, which it allows me to do, but no luck in resolving the error. I can include the assembly but it is 63MB compressed and am running 2011.

just wondering if maybe the install got buggered. Tried a repair but same situation.
When I start up my AutoCad 2013 I get the followiing message -
"Module Program Directory does not exist> May need to reinstall" What is the MPD and how does one reinstall it? The program seems to be running OK but that msg. is a bit distrubing.

My right click customization, which would bring up properties as an option, or could unlock a viewport by selecting it and right clicking. and can also select an x-ref to open, or edit in place, and modify attributes, etc.....has disappeared.
All I get now are basic pan/zoom commands, action recorder, clipboard, etc.....I checked my options, nothing has changed in my right click customization field, but for some reason, it's just not working. Any way to get that back?
I have been working on creating custom content center families that will populate our company's part numbers and descriptions into the browser and drawing BOM. I have been quite successful in this except with the material. I've created custom materials for the fasteners that have the specified strengths and finishes per the fastener. By doing this I've created a different problem.
How can I create a custom property that will insert a specified value for material into the BOM? I've tried to change the link for Project.Material and then the part inserts as Inventor's default. I don't think creating individual material styles for each fastener is a viable one since I'll end up with duplicate style names.

when I wanted to copy objects from one drawing to another or even inside of one drawing, I could right click, "Copy with Base Point" . In 2013 (possibly before) they moved that command along with copy, paste into another command called "Clipboard".
I've been searching for a way to customize that to remove that extra click to access a commonly used command with no luck.
Is it possible to have the area portion of the PROPERTIES PANEL display Acres instead of, or in addition to, square feet for a closed object? If so, how to I accomplish this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a drawing from the parametric model assembly where i have clevis, lug plate and pin arrgt.
the model has been generated using the input excel spreadsheet where i have given the inputs like clevis thk, lug thk,pin dia etc.,
while creating the drawing partlist i have included the column of clevis thk, lug thk etc., using the iproperty, but these columns are coming separately, i just want the thk of clevis and lug in the same column so that i will make Bom for the assembly.
How to get the parametric inputs in the same column of the patlist in drawing.
