View 1 RepliesI have been having a problem with text visable in the modelspace not being shown in the paperspace. I have tried changing layer settings to no avail.

We will still get the cursor icon if we hover over properties and paletts etc. We have the latest service pack and ribbon hotfix. Searching hasn't come up with much.

When the piping group xrefs our model into their model (in regular AutoCAD) to add their pipe, the AEC steel behaves properly in model space, but when they go to dimension in paperspace (for example from the center of their pipe to the face of a column) osnap does not recognize the AEC steel geometry.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a few problems with my autoCAD 2010 version on my new computer.When I make a few hatches, there is a possibility that my entire computer freezes and the only way out is a hard shut down of my computer.
The same problem also appeared when I tried to open a drawing direct in autoCAD or when I search the file to make an exref into the drawing.
I'm working with a DWG that already has a-gazillion VPs.
I'm currently making new layers, but the "New VP Freeze" option only seems to apply to new VPs made AFTER the creation of the layer.
I need the new layers I'm making to be Frozen retroactively, if you will, in all previously-made VPs.
Short of going into each and every VP and manually VP Freezing these few layers, what can I do?
I am having problems Xref ing a drawing of my new title block to paperspace. The plan is to try and have it as the default title block whenever I select to layout a drawing
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to put some blocks in a key (on a TitleBlock, in PaperSpace). I have imported my garden as an Xref - does the access to those blocks not come too? And if not, how do I import them - or do I have to open the Xref and copy each over individually?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor those who are using paperspace and want to dimension your modelspace 3D part.
1. Create a new dimstyle called 3D Standards (copy from your already standard dimstyle), the only thing you are going to change is the text alignment, change it to align with dimension lines.
2. In modelspace use your 3 point UCS and select 3 points on part how dim. will lay. So, if you need to dim. top, then pick 3 points on top, ect...
3. Change the dimscale to reflect the same scale as the viewport.
4. When finished dimensioning your part, select (Changespace) and select all dimensions (if you want all your dimensions to be in paperspace.
I'm on my paper space layout tab, I double click inside the viewport so I'm in model space, I open the layer properties with the full drop down menu and click on the far right column with the snowflake icon which is suppose to freeze the layer for that particular view port. It does not freeze the layer. I'm starting to wonder if it is something with the program.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue where the more I zoom into a drawing that has a raster image (a 1mb jpg) in it, regenerating times become increasingly long until the whole program just freezes. When I zoom back out, it's fine.
I've tried changing the file type, saving it with a different program, lowering the quality to Draft, zooming in on an area that the raster image wasn't in, lowering the DPI of the image, nothing works. I've spent the last two hours searching Google for a fix, found nothing. The only thing that seems to work is if I put the image on a layer and freeze it. The problem there is, I'm tracing over the image, so it being invisible makes it rather difficult to work with.
This has been occurring numerous time more than it should. While in a drawing mid command, panning, typing anything pretty much my cad freezes. The rest of my computer is fine everything works properly but CAD is frozen and when i bring my pointer into the program it disappears. I can even open cad up again and the old CAD will stay open. It shows the drawings i have open on the tab bar and i can’t close out of them. I have a computer that’s more than capable to work properly.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi managed to download and install autodesk inventor 2013, licensing is ok, i can start the program and look at some tutorial videos, but as soon as i try to draw anything the program freezes and my whole computer seizes, i tried to install the update but program still freezes, what can be the reason for this?
my computer is in the lower range performance wise, intel core 2 duo processor(1.83GHz) 3GB DDR2 ram but autocad 2010 ran fine on the same computer
When would i use the on/off option in layers over using freeze?
View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery time I try to hatch a larger area, my AutoCAD 2013 program freezes and I need to close the program and restart it, losing anything I hadn't saved prior to the freeze. In addition, certain areas won't hatch because the program is telling me I have open boundaries which is not the case.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEverything works fine until the center of my cursor passes over a 3d solid, the cursor then disappears, the spinning circle icon spins for sometimes minutes, and the display greys over, and I cannot click 'ESC' or Ctrl + C to abort this cycling. I have to wait, sometimes 30 secs, sometimes 2 minutes for it to stop freezing and the screen returns to normal.
As I work in 3d solids a lot, this makes Acad 2013 unusable to me. Acad 2007 was not an issue with this problem I still have it installed as I have to revert back to 2007 to do anything with 3d solids in it.
If there is a way to freeze a layer in one paper space tab and go to the next tab, same drawing, and unfreeze that layer and it not change the previous tab?

The layer just gets in the way in my model, I could just turn it on whenever I need to print the page but surely theres an easier way.
i have one layer, when trying to freeze by viewport, does not show the icon for such, other layers do, what would cause this?

But when I save the drawing, close it and open it again the text that I'm trying to freeze keeps coming back on. How can I keep it off?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working a lot with layers and since i am also working with sheet sets, it would be very nice to be able to freeze/unfreeze layers for the whole sheet set. Right now i need to freeze / unfreeze layers separately for each page which takes me a quite long time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a project with several parts that all fit together. I understand how to freeze all of the parts that I don't want in a viewport but how can I do the same for a base view?
I would like to have one layout with an exploded overview of all the parts and then a separate layout for each of the parts. Is it possible to freeze the parts I don't want within a base view like you can within a viewport?
I have installed AutoCAD 2013 student on my Laptop (Win7 32Bit) and want to work now.
But I have the problem that my Menubar always freezes / becomes instabil.
-> When I open ACAD, the menu bar is by default on "Home", when I click on the tab "Insert", the tools of "insert" aren't visible, there are still the tools from "Home" shown (Line, Polyline, Circle etc.)
But when I click on these wrong shown tools, the tools of "Insert" become active. (Only the 'surface' doesn't react)
Well, I see always the Home-tools. All the other tools aren't displayed to me, but they work (if u know where they are, you can guess and click and hope you hit the right one )
How to freeze a specific layer inside a block within the viewport?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just received a drawing with a bunch of points in it. One of the layer is called V-ROAD-CNTR-PNTS. Unfortunately, the point number, description, and elevation are all in that same layer. How do I keep just the elevation turned on but turn off the point description and number? When I turn off or freeze the layer V-ROAD-CNTR-PTNS, all three disappear. I just need the elevation showing.
Attached is an image of my screen.
We have our pipe networks living in a master file that is XREF'd to our sheet files. Now, the pipe and structure objects are all the layer C-PNET. The style for the pipes is comprised of the layers C-STRM-PIPE (for pipe walls) and C-STRM-PIPE-PATT (for the center line that is the width of the pipe). When I go into the XREF I cannot freeze OR change the color of the layers comprising the pipe style even though they are all set to ByLayer in the style dialog. The only way to freeze the network is to freeze the layer the pipe network is on C-PNET. However, this presents other problems with our file setup and we dont want to universally freeze C-PNET.
why we cant freeze the portions of the pipe network that are defined in the style as being on C-STRM-PIPE, and C-STRM-PIPE-PATT? If so, how do we remedy this?
I created a drawing with multiple layout tabs, so as to create different maps. My display manager consists of data connections & layers added from the Layer Properties Manager. When I activate a viewport from the layout, I want to freeze some of the Data Connection items (like shp files). How can I freeze these items within the active viewport only?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere are several drawings that when I try to open I get a popup message "References - Unresolved Reference Files". The message box is clear with only the border and the description in the blue bar at the top of the message box. AutoCad LT 2011 locks up and I have to do a Task kill. The same drawing can be opened by most of our other users, but some experience the same issue. When AutoCad is restarted, I get a "Drawing Recovery" empty/clear popup message message freezing AutoCad AGAIN, requireing another Task kill. I have to open a 3rd time, and if I had another drawing open, it's gone and doesn't appear to be recoverable.

It happens when I press the tools/macros buttonand it can take 30 sec or more before the macros dialog release and active or I can try to run windows job list which seems to release the jam too.It also happens when I try to run my macro with shortcut key or customized button. It freezes before the macro even loads. If I open the macros editor and run the macro from there (run sub) then there is no delay at all!
Autodesk Inventor 2012 SP1 64-bit, win 7
The problem is when I select a solid, autocad freezes for about a minute. After that minute, I can execute a command. During that minute of inactivity, I can use anyother program or part of windows normally with no apparent degradation. If I click in an autocad window, toolbar,etc, all the open autocad windows cloud over and the cursor turns to a spinning cursor. Outside of an autocad window the cursor is normal. This is how it works in the noun/verb process, grip editing. However, if a command is issued first, then the selection of solids is instantaneous. The solid(s) are appropriately highlighted and everything proceeds normally in the verb noun approach.
I have played with a variety of suggested performance settings in windows and in autocad. I have updated the graphics drivers so I always have the latest version. I have a quadro fx 3700, 16gb ram, and 2.5 tb of disc space.
