AutoCAD Architecture :: Explode Blocks In 2011?

Jul 13, 2012

Is it possible in ACA2011 to explode a block, but control what layer the pieces go to?

I have a block for a closet rod and shelf , but it always has to be re-sized once in the drawing so  i must explode it.  since it was made on layer 0 it explodes to that layer and I have to change the items to the proper layer.

AutoCad :: Edit Blocks Without Being Able To Explode It

Jan 19, 2012

I have a block of a survey from an outside company which was sent as a block.I am guessing that when it was creating, they un-checked the box that allows it to be exploded.

I would like to edit the block, and without being able to explode it, I have to go into the block editor to do so.Is there a way in block manager to change it so that I can explode the block?

AutoCad :: Explode Blocks After Insertion?

May 7, 2012

I working with a LISP program which creates some assembly drawings on the fly. For certain parts of the drawing I INSERT other dwg files which of course become blocks. Once in the drawing the users are sometimes wanting to edit the drawings where the blocks are, which makes an explodeable block necessary. But since the drawings are not actually blocks until they are imported this is not an easy thing to resolve. The other thing to keep in mind is that this drawing process is completely automated. The user does not get a chance to interface with it until the drawing is complete. So asking the user to do something as the drawing is being created will not work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Explode Attributes To Text - Turning Blocks Into Entities

Jul 27, 2012

I am running AutoCAD 2012 Electrical.  The source wiring diagrams I am working with have attributed blocks all over the drawing.  For my purposes, I dont need to export the data, but I do need to change the drawing.  When I use "Burst" or "Explode Attributes to Text" in the Express Tools menu, it does change the attributes to text. However, it throws all the data that is in in the attribute all over the face of the drawing.  This is extremely time consuming to delete them as some are micro small text. 

I need a command that will explode the attributes to text, turning the blocks into entities, as if there are no blocks at all.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Explode Window - Block Inside To Origin Point

May 28, 2013

when i export (or explode) my plan every window, doors etc... split in more "under-blocks", and that's ok. but i have a problem with the windows: after the explode command, one of the blocks inside (the one that shows the opening side) "jump" in the 0,0,0 coordinates point, but all the others remain in the right position.

PS: i think the problem is not in the window-block, because i tried it in another old file, and it works. and the autocad option are also always the same.

AutoCAD Architecture :: PDF Not Printing In 2011?

Sep 14, 2011

I've got a .PDF of a survey attached (not overlayed) to my site plan construct...on a printable layer. In my sheet it shows up. When I print preview it's there. When it comes out of the plotter it's not there. If I print the PDF by itself through Acrobat it prints fine. Is there a bug here?

I have download the sp2 and it seems to fix the problem,  but then it comes back again.  Some PC are working and other are not.

The only workaround I have got is to remove ACA from the regedit and run CAD again or run the update msi.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2011 Switching Drawings By Itself?

Apr 8, 2011

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.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Plotting To PDF In 2011 And 2012?

May 23, 2011

After I plot to pdf, I get an error message: You do not have a PDF viewing application installed. Go to the internet and dowload a pdf viewer. The problem is that Acrobat Reader X is installed on my computer. I saw the thread about Reader X having spooling issues, so I reinstalled Acrobat Reader 9. Still get the same message.I can go to the file afterwards and open it, despite this message, but it is supposed to open from Architecture after it is plotted and it won't do that.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Can't Import DGN From 2013 But Could From 2011

May 22, 2013

I am having issues with drawings from a consultant.  They are sending us DGN files and they do not seem to want to import in the latest AutoCAD Architecture 2013 I have deployed throughout the offce.  However, these same drawings have no problem in importing to AutoCAD Architecture 2011.  In 2013, I get no activity once I select the file to import.  If I click on the screen once, the program dims and the program says it is not responding.  But I have no problem with 2011.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2011 Freezes On Commands

Apr 29, 2011

When I give keyboard commands to open, save or save as the program freezes. Pulldown menu to open and save work fine but pulldown save as freezes and freezes when using commands on "A". Happening in 2009 also. Same thing happened yesterday, repair did not fix it, so uninstalled and reinstalled and all was fine. Now today freezing again.

Had a blue screen message yesterday when I turned on the computer, bad spooler something. Are these problems related or just a coincidence? Using Windows XP. Autocad is up to date as is Windows.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Unable To Snap To Walls In 2011

Apr 28, 2010

After upgrading to ACA 2011 in plan view I am unable to snap to the edges of walls. Toggling the osnap setting check box to allow object snap to act on wall justification lines seems to have no effect as it always snaps only to the justification line and to nothing else. This is extremely annoying and makes it impossible to dimension to the face of a wall that is center justified. Is this a bug or am I missing some new setting somewhere? All my layers are unfrozen including layer 0.

I'm having an issue where AutoCad Architecture 2011 is crashing on some but not all machines (4 total) when a file is closed.

We are also getting what appears to be random slow downs on files when opening and a jumpy mouse that makes drawing impossible. I have not been able to establish a pattern to point at specific files to being the problem as it happens across several the are fine one day, not fine the next and fine again a day later. All stations are identical.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2011 EXTREMELY Jumpy Cursor?

Mar 23, 2011

I have a sluggish jerky cursor (and it’s not the operator) when you are NOT in a command and while you are creating your selection set in the command. The cursor jumps and reappears @ ~1 sec intervals so you have to anticipate your mouse move to do anything. OH...and it's only happens in model space.

I tried several settings I found on the internet but nothing works. It's only doing it in 3 drawings right now. The latest one was working fine until ~10:00 this morning, then it started in...no issues before this.

It really makes AutoCAD 2011 basically unusable as it takes 5X longer to complete each command!

AutoCAD Architecture :: Changing Text Styles Between 2011 And 2012?

Jul 30, 2013

I would like to preface this post by stating, for the purposes of this message, that I have absolutely no understanding of the workings of AutoCAD. I have looked at many forum discussions concerning my issue and I am simply unable to understand the terminology and/or concepts being described.

I recently purchased a new computer for my office. Accordingly, I needed to install AutoCAD on this new machine. All of the machines in my office are running AutoCAD 2011. However, after addressing some licensing issues with AutoDesk, I received a license and installer for AutoCAD 2012. Everything was installed correctly (as far as I understand) and the program itself is working fine. The problem I am running into involves the text style for the files I open:

For files saved on AutoCAD 2011, the text style used is Arial. Simple; no custom fonts. However, when I open that same file in AutoCAD 2012, the text style for the entire file has changed to Franklin Gothic Book. (Note that all files are accessible from all computers in the office through a network drive)

That is my only understanding of the situation. As I mentioned earlier I have very little understanding of the workings of AutoCAD. I have had this problem for almost a week now and I am no closer to understand this issue, much less solving it.
