AutoCAD Architecture :: Images Not Appearing In Large Format PDF (small Format Okay)
Sep 13, 2012We have a computer that using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and Acrobat 9 Standard. When printing a large sheet (30"x42") with images in it to a PDF the images do not appear in the newly created PDF. However, if the same file is printed to fit an 11x17 the images display correctly. Any thoughts as to why the large sheet size is not printing properly?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Open Drawings In Previous Format Read Only
Nov 21, 2011I am looking for a way to force all DWG files created with previous versions of AutoCAD to automatically open "Read Only". For example, using Civil 3D 2011, I open a file that is a 2007 format DWG. I want this file to automatically open read only, and inform the user that it has opened read only.
I'm hoping that this is possible, since opening a 2007 format DWG in a newer AutoCAD already tells you that it's an older format in the command line, and files can already be opened as read only.
AutoCAD Architecture :: DWG To WMF Format
Aug 23, 2011I am trying to get from dwg to wmf format in 2011 autocad architecture. There is no WMF extension to choose from.
My main goal is to give this to my marketing department.
When they convert from DWG to illustrator on my DWG detail which has color, the color goes crazy. The software is incompatible. (They have a MAC) What format works best??? We have tried EPS, JPEG, DXF
FIrst is first. How do I get a WMF File from DWG?
AutoCAD Architecture :: Redlines To Drawings
Dec 2, 2011Currently once I have finished a drawing I print to PDF and send the drawing out to document control for distribution. Eventually I get some feedback that a few things on the drawings need to change.
This involves me
1.) Modifying the original dwg file
2.) Printing to PDF
3.) Opening the PDF with PDF X-Change viewer and drawing revision clouds and other notes on top of the PDF
3.1) I could also replace the PDF with DWF files, but then I would still have to make revision clouds and notes on the DWF file. But everyone uses PDF so I stick with PDF.
4.) Issuing back to document control for distribution.
Is there another way to make redlines within autocad so that changes will show up in red?
- Move a wall? Its red.
- Add a drawing and viewport to a paperspace tab? Its red.
- Add more text to an mtext or dtext object? New text is red.
I am looking for ideas other than moving those objects to a new layer, or manually coloring them red. I like the way Microsoft word has a track changes button, where everything I delete goes red and gets a line through it, and all new text is red.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2011 Switching Drawings By Itself?
Apr 8, 2011Several 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.

Jun 3, 2011Is there a way to copy a viewport with all its layers setup from one drawing file to another drawing file?
I can copy the viewport and activate it, but the layers setup for that viewport goes to default. So it turns everything on.
I can't make a layer state in the old file and import in new file, because the new file does not have all the same layers. So not all my layers would be turned off in the viewport.

Feb 22, 2013I have been using autocad R14 with a 2d architecture addon for the last 15yrs.I purchased Architecture2009 and never used it because of the learning curve from R14.
Computer Crashed and forced me to update...I am adapting very slowly and need to get up to speed soon. i have a residential design business and my clients are getting a little upset with my lack of production.

I would have to lose the 3 hours of work I have done and go to a previous version file of the drawings I was in.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Architecture :: Opening Files That Are Being Used As Xrefs In Other Drawings
Jan 26, 2012I've recently run into a problem that involves xrefs. Basically, I cannot open files that are being xrefed in other drawings when those drawings are currently open. AutoCAD Architecture will only allow me to open the xrefed file as a read-only version. For example:
I have 1ST FLOOR PLAN (drawing file) xrefed into A-201.00 FIRST FLOOR PLAN (sheet file). If one of my team members has the sheet file open with the drawing file loaded, then AutoCAD will only let me open the drawing file as a read-only file. But if my team member has the sheet file open with the drawing file unloaded, then I can open the drawing file without any problems.
I have never had this type of problem with xrefs before and so I'm wondering if it's an AutoCAD Architecture 2012 bug.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Change Material Definitions To CTB Format?
Oct 18, 2013Is there a way to change the material definitions to CTB format in the plot style under the material style? See attached image.
I have a client that wants everything in CTB format and in AutoCAD Architecture. I can get the drawings into CTB but the materials plot way too heavy and when I go in the styles they show Full Saturation or Wide, Thin from the STB plot styles.
The Drawing is in CTB and I am pulling my hair out trying to get the couple materials used set to Color based plotting.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot Open Drawings From Previous Releases In 2013 Running On Windows 8
Jan 7, 2013I have ACA 2013 (student version) running in the Windows 8 environment. I cannot open anything drawn in a previous release nor can I open a drawing created in ACA 2013 that was installed on the Windows 7 platform.
I have tried to drag in the drawings through design center. That worked for a while now when I try that it causes ACA to crash. Also I have tried multiple drawings that were created in several different versions of ACA. (2004, 2006 and 2009)
As a side note I was able to open those files in ACA 2013 running on the Windows 7 OS.

Dec 11, 2013Got a Blueray player with a USB port so I don't need dvd's any more for my homemade videos. What settings & formats do I need to get my MPEG2 DVD files small and sharp like those movies downloaded off the internet? My videos have bitrates 8000 and smaller and 1.5 - 2.0 hr take up 4g. Those off the internet are 900 bit rate and are about 600-700 mb and are crystal clear. I've converted some 5000 bit rate files to MP4 H.264 (what my Blueray player uses) at 1000 & 1500 bit rate and they are still pretty large and not as clear as the originals. I could sure store a lot of videos @ 700 mb on a memory stick vs 1.5 or 2 gig files I've been able to convert to MP4's but don't want to loose quality especially if I want to delete the masters.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Smallest Text Size - Should Use For Print?
Oct 10, 2012I had some business cards I designed printed for a gentleman and everything was good minus the text size, too small to read, I think it was around 4 pt for the smallest section of text.
From some experienced designers in the print arena, what is the smallest size text you should use on things like this? Is there a standard, does it vary from piece to piece etc....any additional info is good..I am designing a 4x4 card, so this piece is a little bigger than a standard business card. Right now 9 pt is the smallest text on my card.
