I have an issue where any hatch that I place on a tool palette comes in on the wrong layer. They all come in on the a-hatch-window layer despite the properties of the tool being set to the correct layer and the correct layer being present and being the current layer in the drawing.
View 5 RepliesFor some reason, the tool palette I usually use is not accessible. I opened a drawing that a co-worker was using and my tool palette now looks like an old version - it doesn't have any of my custom tools in it. How do I get back my tool palette??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use LDD04. Usually when I want to combine 2 or more tool palettes and create one with tools I mostly use,I have all the palettes open,then I r-click on one tool palette I want to change, then go to customize and drag and drop tools I need from other palettes into the one customizing. This didn't work this time, now when I go over one tool with the mouse, it shows different name for it, so the icon and function is messed up. I also am missing the icons of those tools I added to the palette. When I'm going back to the palette where I grabbed on tool from, it's not there anymore. How can I restore tool palettes to their original form and how can I create a palette with only tools I want?

In ACA 2011 this only works for lines/polylines. Plus the wall, door and window palettes are gone. How can I retreave them?
Just upgraded to 2014. I have a custom tool palette set up and Content Browser pointing to right catalog. Custom tool palette was copied from 2012. I was able to modify all tool properties within that palette to point to right content file but one. Can't change the property in one tool on palette.
Patette is locked (I locked it when I created it in 2012) and I have Right Access to all of the network files in Architecture (this is sitting on a network). Why is it the Tool Palette won't Unlock?
I am running 2011 ACA on Win 7 64bit.Today when I launch the program, the contents of the tool palette are incorrect. None of the "door, wall, spaces ff+e, etc...) are there anymore.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have set the properties in Content Browser for New Project 2012 (our template for new projects) under Tool Palettes for shared workspace catalog; tool palette group is pointing to Workspace Catalog on a shared drive; tool content root path is pointing to a Projects folder called New Project 2012.
When I open the project New Project 2012 the tool palettes come up but with a Tool Palette Group called New Project 2012 with all the tool palettes listed under it. I right clicked and made the Design group the current group and selected Customize Palettes. I can see under Palette Groups - New Project 2012. I right clicked and selected delete and it's gone but when I go out of the project and go back in, the group New Project 2012 is there. Where do I go to delete this group? Where do I tell the Project to have the Design Group be current when opening this Project?
I am new to ACA and was trying to use the massing element from either the build ribbon on home page or design tool palette. I select the icon and then right click the properties box and all the dimension boxes are gray not letting me input data. I cannot find out how to change them to be editable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI seem to be running into a wall here, I have created an annotative dimension and copied it to the tool palette. When I go to dimension something in a new dwg that does not have the new annotation style, the dimension style does not keep its annotation setting. It brings in the annotation style but not the annotation setting.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe use AA in the office but we have one version of autocad straight on a laptop. How can I get a tool palette we created in AA into autocad? I understand in AA that you use the content browser in AA to export a palette group but then how do you actually get that into Autocad for use? I think autocad uses an atc file or something like that.
Also, when trying to export the tool palette in AA using the content browser, the help file said I should be able to grab the tool palette and slide/ copy it into the new cataloque I created in the content browser. However, eveytime I grab onto the tool palette, the content browser woudl disappear. I finally just selected all of the items in my tool palatte and copied/ pasted them into the category folder I created within the new catalogue.
Unfortunately, a new project we have does not allow us to use annotative objects, so we are back to switching scale by creating several dimstyles with a varying dimscale (eg. Dim96, for 1/8", Dim48 for 1/4" etc.) Now I have created a button on the tool palette that brings in text and it allows me to set the size of the arrow by matching it to the dimstyle, but the text comes in always at the same size - 9" which is 3/32" for a 1/8" plan. The arrow changes but the text does not. I know I have to change the CANNOSCALE, but I can't seem to figure out a way of making it work so that the user will only need to switch the dimstyle from the pull down up at the top right and then be able to use a tool palette button that will bring in a text with leader with it's arrow head and text height matching the dimstyle scale.

I've been getting reacquainted with creating sheet templates and smart tags for a project I'm working on. I have the Sheet creating okay but when I placed a view on the sheet and tried to tag it with the default view title from the call out tool palate all I get is the name of the view and placeholders for the view number and view scale. It says "View Number" and "viewport scale." From what I remember it should at least give me question marks if its linking but it doesn't look like its making any connections.
Just starting to use 2014, and so far not so good. I tend to keep the Properties Palette open and docked. In 2014, if my current layer is 0, any object I select in a drawing shows as Layer 0 in the Design tab of the Properties palette. If I change to a different layer, any object selected shows that layer in the Properties palette. If I start a new drawing, enter WALLADD and draw a wall segment, the A-WALL layer now correctly appears in the Layer Manager, but when I select the wall, the Layer in Properties is the current layer, not the A-WALL layer it should have gone on. Also, Quick Properties is on, but doesn't pop up anywhere.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm currently going over the Metric tutorial for ACA 2009. At some point, I'm instructed to right-click the tool palette title bar to select the "project-specific" palette (which should be located among the Design, Visalization, etc palettes). Well, this palette is not there.
I´ve checked the project properties and verified that Project Tool Palette Group is set to Shared workspace catalog. The paths are correct (I'm using Windows 7 x64), etc. When I open antoher tutorial project (Steel Framed Residence_m) the project tool palette is there, but when I create any new project or use the one in the tut, this group/palette is not created.
The profile used to create the project is the default:

I always paste an image on a layer then select the layer and use the Move Tool to move it around until it is placed where I want it. Now I paste the image, select the layer, choose the Move Tool and the layer selection jumps to another layer and that one gets moved. (CS5)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using ACA2013. I've been working on making a couple of custom schedule tags and have found what seems to be a bit of a glitch. I have the annotative scale set to 1'-0"=1'-0". Once I have the desired linework and attributes created, I have used the 'create tag wizard'. Once that is finished, the tag is inserted at a much smaller size than the linework I used - 1/10.6666. If I scale the linework and attribute text size by 10-2/3 prior to using the 'wizard' then the tag is created the correct size. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly or is that a glitch in ACA2013?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Autocad Architecture 2013 and I am having an issue with Property Set Data. Whenever I create door or window tags, the Property Set Data is in the wrong units.
I have two separate projects, on in Imperial units and another in Metric. When I add a new door/window tag, the units for that particular door or window are incorrect. The drawings are setup in the proper units, the dimensions are as well. But when I create these tags and subsequently the schedules for them, they are in the wrong units. The tags/schedules for the metric project are in feet and inches and the tags/schedules for the imperial project are in millimeters.
AutoCAD Architecture 2009 - Something new started today!!! Working in either design or construction workspace the Properties tool bar will not operate. When I select an object and roll over to the Properties Pallette it simply starts to blink and does not open. Also, the Quick Properties panel will not open. Background, the new file I am working on was last saved on my laptop and transfered via a thumb drive. I have done this often with out a problem. However, the laptop is a new one with Windows 7 and my desktop has Windows XP.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with my properties window or floating palette. When I select an object, such as a "line", my properties palette refreshes itself for about 3 seconds. When I hit esc, or deselect the line, it takes another 3 seconds to refresh itself. You can even see the properties palette start at the top and go blank as it travels downward. Very slow process, I can not get anything done. IF I close my properties palette, it does not have the delay, but I can not work without it. When I reboot, it works fine for about 5-6 selections, then jams back up.
