AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Titleblock Textbox Change
Sep 10, 2013I am trying to change the titleblock definition of a drawing when I run my custom ilogic code. Currently (and for the past few years) the drawing name is defined by the drawing properties part number but when I run my code I would like the drawing name to be defined by the model properties part number as shown below:
Currently the textbox for the part number is configured as below:
And I'd like to change it to this:
The code I have to find the part number is as follows:
Dim x = 1 Dim oTxtBox As Inventor.TextBox For Each oTxtBox In oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes If oTxtBox.Text = "<PART NUMBER>" Then oStuff =

Mar 11, 2013I'm writing a tool to change iproperties in the titleblock.
But now we start using two different types of titleblocks.
I need to check which titleblock is present in the current sheet/drawing.
I use this code to place a titleblock:
Call Doc.ActiveSheet.AddTitleBlock("sample_titleblock")
How do I check if "sample_titleblock" is already present?

AutoCad :: How To Reload Titleblock To Each Layout
May 4, 2011This is a 2 fold question.
I have a drawing with 18 viewports, each one has (should have) a titleblock but xref manager tells me it is not found. Firstly, why would it now not be attached? And secondly, why am I not simply able to re-reference it? I tried to UNLOAD and DETACH it but it wont do it as there are multiple inserts. So I tried to RELOAD and ATTACH but no joy. It simply gives me the path to the referenced file (which is correct by the way) So, how do I reload the titleblock to each layout?
AutoCAD .NET :: Swap Titleblock Between 2 Drawings
Feb 4, 2013I have 2 files and I'd like to copy a titleblock from a template drawing and use it to replace an existing titleblock on an in progress drawing. The titleblock on the in progress drawing has attributes, and I'd like to keep them when I put in the new titleblock. The attribute tag names between the 2 titleblocks are the same.
I do not know the exact names of the titleblocks, only that they contain the words "title block" somewhere in their name.
I've developed for Inventor for a while now, but I'm completely new to AutoCAD. How might I go about this?
I believe the basic steps would be something like this:
1. Identify which object to copy from template sheet.
2. Save that object to memory
3. Identify object to replace in existing drawing
4. Copy attributes and get position of existing titleblock
5. Delete existing titleblock
6. Insert new titleblock and copy in attributes
I've taken the Autocad tutorials, and I've searched for relevant posts on ThroughTheInterface. Is there someplace else to look which might give a more in-depth example of what I'm trying to accomplish?

AutoCAD .NET :: Program To Access Titleblock Info?
Sep 11, 2012I have an Inventor license that doesn't include Autocad. We have some old Autocad drawings that I would like to write a program to extract the titleblock info which I believe is probably done with attributes. Not sure though.
is there any way for me to get to that info without having a seat of Autocad? In Inventor we can use apprentice to do similar things.
AutoCad :: Keeping Modelspace Titleblock In Paperspace
Feb 12, 2013I have a drawing I'm working from where everything was drawn in model space including the drawing titleblock and the grips for an archD plot. A single viewport is used in paper space that encompasses the entire drawing - titleblock and all. My problem is that I want to use a different scale in the paperspace layout but keep the titleblock (and archD plot grips). Adding another paperspace viewport in the centre of the original does not seem to work as when I adjust the viewport scale it zooms in far too much. Is there a simple solution that I am missing?

Oct 24, 2013I need to insert a barcode into my drawing titleblock. I have the font loaded that I need, I just can't get it formatted so my barcode reader will read it. I am using the field "filename" to drive the text in the barcode. My issue is I need and asterisk as a prefix and a suffix to my file name so my barcode reader knows where to "start and stop". How can I format the field "filename" with an asterisk (*) as a prefix and suffix?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Titleblock - How To Display The Units Shown
Oct 24, 2012I use a single IDW template for all my drawings. In it, I've got multiple dim styles.... One is Inch, one is mm, and one shows alternate units as Inch (mm).
In my titleblock, I've got a box that says "Units: " and I've currently got this setup as a prompted entry so that I'll have to think about it when I start the drawing and manually enter "Inches" or "mm" or "Inch (mm)".
Is there a way to automate this so I don't have to manually enter it, or remember to change it if the units change down the line?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Printing PDF - Titleblock And Some Hatches Don't Show Up
Jan 10, 2013Whenever I plot this perticular dwg to a pdf, the pdf comes out perfectly fine. But when I go to print the pdf... the titleblock and some hatches don't show up. All the hatches are on the same layer and the titleblock is xrefed in the same as all the other sheets in the set, which all are fine as well.

Jan 4, 2013Working in AutoCAD 2013
Plotting from the Layout - Model is plotting fine, XREF Titleblock is plotting out too light, about 20% of what model plots.
XREFd on 0 layer (tried on different layer, result = no difference) all other aspects of plot are correct

I found a work-around but it isn't realistic in the longterm, I inserted the Title block as a BLOCK and exploded it, and then the titleblock plotted fine with each of the different Title Block layers plotting correct to pen width.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Block Units Set To Mm - How To Change
Aug 14, 2012I have revived an old project that was started about 2 years ago. I went to attach my title block in paper space and the drawing was itty bitty.
Seemed unusual because in another layout the title block is there with the same page setups etc.
Then I looked at the block units and they were set to mm. Can it be changed? If so how? Or am I completely hooped?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Unable To Change DIM SCALE
Apr 19, 2011I can't seem to change the DIMSCALE. I want to change this is our template. It is 8'-0" and I can't get it to change to anything else. I get a response of "Cannot set DIMSCALE to the value". I have entered 1....1'=0"....0'=.8333....4'-0" etc., etc. Units are in Architecture Inches. I've unchecked "Automatically Create Dimscale Override"; saved as Default; went to Options...AEC Dimension and unchecked everything in "Automatic Scale of AutoCAD Dimstyles" (don't know if that has anything to do with it).
How do I change the DIMSCALE?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: How To Change Time Between Backups
Apr 12, 2010Over the past year we have had a problem arise on three projects and I can't seem to track down the cause. The first job it only happened once, the second it happened a few times and now on this third project it has happened twice in three days.
The issue is the dst file becomes corrupt and all of our sheet set info is lost. The backup of the dst file is overwritten every few minutes it seems and by the time we notice a problem, the backup has been overwritten by the corrupt file.
A few questions:
1) What is causing the problem? In reading other posts it seems to have something to do with more than one user writing to the file at the same time (but, this last time it happened, only one person in the office was working on the job).
2) Can we change the time between backups?
3) Is there an easier way to rebuild the sheet set?
