AutoCAD Architecture :: Dragging And Dropping Between Two Open Drawings
Sep 26, 2012
I cannot get this feature of 2013 to work for me. When I grab a selected item and drag it to the new drawing window, I get at round circle with a line through it or sometimes I get a command that says invalid.

Can I get a sound effect to confirm the dragging and dropping of a file into a collection? I can see the file count increase but a confirmation sound would be very useful.

When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created. However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size. It typically shrinks down in size. Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size? There must be a better way to do this. Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.

I have ACA 2013 (student version) running in the Windows 8 environment. I cannot open anything drawn in a previous release nor can I open a drawing created in ACA 2013 that was installed on the Windows 7 platform.
I have tried to drag in the drawings through design center. That worked for a while now when I try that it causes ACA to crash. Also I have tried multiple drawings that were created in several different versions of ACA. (2004, 2006 and 2009)
As a side note I was able to open those files in ACA 2013 running on the Windows 7 OS.

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.

simple project, 2 story house, 4 generated elevations, file size 600k. ACA is very slow (+4min) to almost freezing up when trying to drag a view from the view drawing into a sheet. xml files match the drawing file. only way to get the views to drop into sheets is copy the traced over views into a clean non-generated elevation view drawing and create the model space views from there.

Since I installed autocad architecture 2012 I have this problem. When I drag a view from the project navigator in a sheet I see the content and the option to set a scale. So far so good. When I click in the sheet to set the location the viewport goes empty. I can stretch the viewport to top left to get the drawing within range and then move it back to where I want to place the drawing.

I recently had to reformat my hard-drive, and now I am having a problem getting files to open by dragging a file (.jpg, .png etc.) onto the Photoshop Icon on my dock. Normally this would open the document in Photoshop - instead, nothing happens. I assume I need to turn a preference or something on...

Currently once I have finished a drawing I print to PDF and send the drawing out to document control for distribution. Eventually I get some feedback that a few things on the drawings need to change.
This involves me
1.) Modifying the original dwg file
2.) Printing to PDF
3.) Opening the PDF with PDF X-Change viewer and drawing revision clouds and other notes on top of the PDF
3.1) I could also replace the PDF with DWF files, but then I would still have to make revision clouds and notes on the DWF file. But everyone uses PDF so I stick with PDF.
4.) Issuing back to document control for distribution.
Is there another way to make redlines within autocad so that changes will show up in red?
- Move a wall? Its red.
- Add a drawing and viewport to a paperspace tab? Its red.
- Add more text to an mtext or dtext object? New text is red.
I am looking for ideas other than moving those objects to a new layer, or manually coloring them red. I like the way Microsoft word has a track changes button, where everything I delete goes red and gets a line through it, and all new text is red.

Several users here in my office have been having a strange issue with ACA 2011. When doing various things such as, saving, regen'ing, or manually switching between open drawings, ACA will "blink" to a completely different drawing.
For example, right now I have 4 drawings open. I'm trying to go from drawing A to drawing B. It goes to drawing B and starts to regen model space, then it blinks back to drawing A. Does the same for any of the 4 drawings. Only way to make it stop was to close drawing A.
As I said, it not only does this when switching drawings. It'll also do it after it's done saving and when I try to regen.

Is there a procedure or command to use on an opened drawing to see if the drawing is used as an external reference anywhere else? For example, can I open Drawing A and determine whether it is used as an external reference in Drawing B without going to Drawing B and looking at the external references palette?

This has happened since CS5 I think. When I select an area to copy into another document, I am so used to dragging it over to the destination document. Sometimes I have more than one document open at a time and dragging over them blanks them out.

Is there a way to copy a viewport with all its layers setup from one drawing file to another drawing file?
I can copy the viewport and activate it, but the layers setup for that viewport goes to default. So it turns everything on.
I can't make a layer state in the old file and import in new file, because the new file does not have all the same layers. So not all my layers would be turned off in the viewport.

I have been using autocad R14 with a 2d architecture addon for the last 15yrs.I purchased Architecture2009 and never used it because of the learning curve from R14.
Computer Crashed and forced me to update...I am adapting very slowly and need to get up to speed soon. i have a residential design business and my clients are getting a little upset with my lack of production.
I spend a bit of time yesterday changing door styles and want them available to all drawings not just the one they were created in. How do i migrate my style to the template and other drawings?

I was in Block Editor and when I hit the save changes button it closed my drawing. Now when I open the drawings, the only thing in it is the block, but it is exploded. I can not find any of the information that was in the drawing. The file size is still 1.3 MB. I would have to lose the 3 hours of work I have done and go to a previous version file of the drawings I was in.

I've recently run into a problem that involves xrefs. Basically, I cannot open files that are being xrefed in other drawings when those drawings are currently open. AutoCAD Architecture will only allow me to open the xrefed file as a read-only version. For example:
I have 1ST FLOOR PLAN (drawing file) xrefed into A-201.00 FIRST FLOOR PLAN (sheet file). If one of my team members has the sheet file open with the drawing file loaded, then AutoCAD will only let me open the drawing file as a read-only file. But if my team member has the sheet file open with the drawing file unloaded, then I can open the drawing file without any problems.
I have never had this type of problem with xrefs before and so I'm wondering if it's an AutoCAD Architecture 2012 bug.

I'm refining some SVG files, imported into GIMP as paths. I added numerous guides on the images and drag anchors to the guides. All the paths consist of straight lines only. The problem is that on some anchors GIMP performs the "drag curve" operation instead of the "drag anchor". As a result, my straight lines become broken (curved).
The only solution I've found so far is to apply maximum zoom level, say 400%, and repeat the dragging in this resolution. This makes GIMP work properly, at least, I'm able to "drag anchor" as expected. But switching back and forth to the 400% zoom level is a bit annoying and inconvenient.
Is there a better way to "say" GIMP that "dragging anchor" is the "dragging anchor", not "dragging curve"?

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?

I tried the following method to save all drawing currently open. It always fire fill access arror, whereas AutoCAD can save the file wihthout any issue. Here I am checking for drawings that not even saved once and ask the user to take action for those files.
try
{
DocumentCollection docs = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager;
foreach (Document doc in docs)
{
string dname = doc.Name;
string s = doc.Name.Substring(doc.Name.LastIndexOf('\') + 1);

I'm trying to add a block with an attribute to a drawing. The command works if there is only one drawing open, but when there are other open drawings then the block doesn't appear. Strangely if I select the block in the block editor and then close the block editor the block suddenly appears. Do you know what is causing the block to not appear when other drawings are open?
I included the code below. "s1" works but "s2" has the strange behavior of the block not being visible.
[CommandMethod("s1")]
public void AddBlockWithAttributeToDestination_WithNoOtherDrawingsOpen() {
var attributeValue = "1234";
var destination = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
using (var transaction = destination.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
addBlock(transaction, destination.Database, attributeValue);
transaction.Commit();

I'm running 2013 C3D and have a quirk that my drawings zoom out when I first open the file. I'm not even sure what they are zooming out to as it is not 'Extents'.

For some reason, one of our PC's running MEP 2012 has suddenly started to only open drawings in read-only mode. The same drawings will open just fine on other PC's so they / their folders are not set to read-only in windows. The user also has the exact same access rights on the server as the others.
The strangest thing about this is the following warning box that appears on screen. see attached.
For some reason, the alert message which displays the full path of the dwg in question, has it's path modified with a date and time stamp prefixed with a '@' symbol. Needless to say the folder '@GMT-2012.07.17-11.00.04' does not exist. In 18 years of playing with AutoCAD I've never seen this one before.
