AutoCAD Architecture :: How Discipline Folders Designed To Be Used With Program
Jun 5, 2012
What or how the discipline folders where designed to be used with the program. Are they actually used in the program some way or just there for you to manual save things to.?
OPEN and then try to browse to another folder and ACA crashes.It first started just when trying to SAVEIMG to save a just rendered to screen image. It would crash consistently when trying to change folders. Did a reinstall and it went away.Came back again and Now it's happening on OPEN as well. Every time. Have to drag files to ACA and save to which ever folder opens and then move it afterwards.I gather that ACA is using the windows folder system and there may be a clash there somewhere. I use AVG antivirus and I guess it's possible it is doing something like checking folders and causing problems.It has caused the browsers (IE and Chrome) to crash.Added an ignore acad.exe and whole folder to AVG but it still crashes.
I'd like it if Paint.net's plugin folders were under the user profile, inside AppData.
Currently, the default method of trying new plugins is a bit of a pain, since every time you copy or delete the plugins, you have to go throug UAC.
Personally, I have made a symlink from under Paint.net's folder to my profile, but this only works on single-user machines. Additionally, every time I update Paint.net, I have to remake the symlink because the updater replaces it with a normal folder.
We recently purchased the bldg design suite premium, so we have autocad, autocad mep, autocad structural detailing, and autocad architecture.By default, .dwg files open with the vanilla autocad application. How can we change the default program for .dwg files to autocad architecture?
I am looking for an alternative to in place XRef Edit.
The third party software I am stuck with has disabled in place editing an Xref.
The specific application I need is to allow the user to move an intelligent room tag that is XReffed into discipline specific models. Disciplines are Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical..Etc. Each discipline has their own room tag and needs to move their own tag to a location that can be clearly seen on their finished plot. Xref edit in place is the perfect tool for this..But since the third party has disabled the command, I need an alternative method.
Is there a way to modify the settings associated with the view disciplines? The reason is that when a view is set to mechanical, electrical, or plumbing, a white border appears around families that blocks the lines of adjacent families. This doesn't happen when the discipline is set to architectural, structural, or coordination.
I've created a family that represents a poke-through with nested, shared families for different components. Everything visible in plan is made with Symbolic lines instead of Generic Annotations. The reasons being too numerous to explain here.
The problem I'm running into is that the family looks fine when the View Discipline is set to Architectural but when set to Electrical (1/8" scale in both) part of the shared components begin to get masked. I cannot figure out why they are behaving this way, except that some of the lines are creating some sort of masking area in the Electrical discipline. When the nested families are not shared the component looks fine in both disciplines. I've attached images and the family for you to try.
I have a small site where i've essentially designed a storage pond. I've cut 3.0m off the original ground at a 2:1 slope and built a berm at a 2:1 fill slope to a designed elevation. I've managed to balance the site to zero. The contour drawing I have shows elevations - which is great - however the client has asked to see the contours showing a Fill or Cut label from the original ground.
I think that I have tried everything from .png to jpg, bilinear to bicubic sharper, still to no avail.how to make type created using Photoshop appear crisp and clear for the web?I am currently using CS6...
I want to know what the best and quickest method would be to knockout images of people from a background ? I've heard CS5 has a built in tool for this. I've also heard the plug in "Knockout 2" from Corel is useful. So what is the best tool to use ? Also, is the plug-in "Knockout 2" designed for CS5 ?..or only earlier versions of PhotoShop ?
I have created a nice banner in Photoshop and I would like to add hyperlinks within the banner can I do it in Photoshop or there a special software for that?
So I import a Xref Object CATrig and try and animate and pop - either numerous Maxscipt errors or a straight crash. Again, am I being forced to use the equally buggy Containers feature...
ANNOYED BECAUSE ALL MY OLD AREA SETTINGS, SIGNATURE, FORUM POSTS etc ARE ALL *GONE*. AND NOW I HAVE DUMB LONG USERNAME INSTEAD OF MY OLD ONE.
I scanned a logo that was designed with a pen. I've cleaned up most of the 'spots' from the paper, being not pure white.
Now, I would like to change the color. It was black, how do I change it to red or blue? I can't flood fill as you would imagine, because not every pixel has the same brightness.
I know you can pixelate with Filter / Pixelate / Mosaic, but for some reason images I put through this filter don't look like old 80's/90's video game graphics. Not sure if it's the pixelating itself, or - more likely - the number of colors being used.Is there a plugin out there specifically designed to make an image look like it came straight out of an old video game?
How do I get to the settings that control what does and does not show in any given discipline - we need to update the Structural Discipline to show the non-structural walls, and non-structural portions of other walls as halftone.
I had two 2013 folders, each with about 100 daily folders. The dates were differnt in each annual folder. I dragged one into the other. The folder where the daily folder was dragged from is now empty but those folders do not appear in the recieving folder. All the photos are still in the catalog, but do not show in the folders (left side panel).
I renamed a lot of my photo folders in Explore. Now in LR4, all these folders appears with an ?. I can't work on pictures from these folders - I get the message: File named xxx is offline or missing. It does not sync the parent folder. Nor does it sync the folder it self. If I right clik on a LR4 folder with a ?, and try to locate the folder, I only get the option to merge the identical folders. Is there any way to sort this. I can't restore the old folder names.
Is there a way to have the organizer folders set up the same was as Windows Explorer? I have a main folder called Family with sub folders for all the years and in each of the subfolders there could be other subfolders. It wouldn't allow me to click on main folder and get all sub folders. I had to open main folder and then it shows all folders and sub folders separately. They are no longer nested.
Along the same lines, I wanted to create an album of Family with all subfolders, but that doesn't work.that is definitely a short coming which is why I never have used the organizer program, but just PSE for editing.
I am using LR3. I appear to be digging a massive hole for myself trying to sort out the catalog. When I first got LR, I had initially added just a small number of files just to see how LR worked. At this time I was still completing sorting out my full photo collection in 'my pictures' which were also copied to two external hard drives. Once that work was completed, I imported a complete folder (some 4000 images) into LR. The folder/subfolders appeared in the folders panel but the sub folders I had initially imported were displayed with a ? and a message 'file is missing or offline' Going down the road of 'find missing folder' eventually led to my problems.
About 6 sub folders are involved so I eventually took the decision that it could be easier just to remove them so I could then re-import them from 'my pictures'. That hasn't worked out as planned. When I go into 'file' to import photos from 'my pictures' the missing sub folders are there but the images are 'greyed' as well as the import button. When I put the cursor onto one of the greyed-out images the message 'appears to be a duplicate of another photo already in catalog' appears.
how I can restore the 'missing' sub folders into the folders panel.
I am designing simple graphics work for a mouse mat and am trying to transfer a logo which I created in Macromedia Flash MX 2004. Now I can export this file in whatever formats i want but the problem arises when I copy the image into Photoshop 7.0. As the [printing company has specifically asked for a PSD file I have to obviously design something in Photoshop. So when I copy the logo across to photoshop as a JPG, Tiff, GIf or whatever file format, it copies across perfectly. But the problem occurs when i try to resive the image to half the original size. It becomes extremely pixelated.
I cannot share photos from my Elements 8.0 Organizer via email. The program does not recognize that I have an email program loaded. The computer is a new HP desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 operating system. My Elements 8 does everything I need except for the photo sharing so I don't really want to purchase a new version.
I updated my computer to windows 7 32 bit and need the file: AdskHwCertificationDatabase.xml - version 17.1.0.4 so that I can find out the correct driver for my OS and my quadrofx 1700 graphics card. Autodesk doesn't support 2008 Architecture and the on;y file I can find is buried in a torrent file with a pirated copy of 2008 and I DO NOT wish to download that.
