We wonder how we can save a dwg to editing restrictions. For example: We send a DWG file to an external user by only allowing him to view the file. We want to disallow editing of the file. Is it possible?

I find it annoying that changes in the resulting pixels are not displayed while a control in the Gradient Fill, Layer Style Gradient Overlay, Gradient Editor and Color Picker dialogues is being dragged. The mouse button has to be released for the change to be displayed in the resulting pixels. (I realise that the controls can be manipulated in ways other than dragging to see instantaneous changes to the image pixels. For example, the mouse wheel or keyboard arrows.)
Another annoyance is that the Gradient Editor window prevents operation of controls (such as scale and orientation) in the Gradient Fill and Layer Style Gradient Overlay dialogues.
future Ps will not have these restrictions.
The lack of feedback in the image while mouse-dragging controls affects more than just the editing of gradients, of course. many dialogues are not restricted in this way, for example, image adjustments.
I have installed the student version of Autocad 2013. My professor has asked me to convert my dwg files into 2010 format, as she is unable to open them. When I attempted to do so, Autocad informed me that I cannot convert files with the student version. Is there anything I can to to fix this? Or, can she somehow convert them on her end?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an object that has a minimum size restriction, so it can be increased in size but it can't be reduced beyond a set size. Is this possible?
Also is it possible to set restraints to an object so that it can only be resized in proportion to itself, i.e. it can only be resized using the diagonal points rather the horizontal/vertical points as this may alter the object (e.g. squash or stretch the object).
When I am trying to edit mtext and also when i the DDEDIT command to edit multi-line dimension strings, the text becomes obscured. So far nothing makes it visible again until I exit out, which is (as I am sure you can understand) making editing text extraordinarily challenging.

I use Autcad Architecure 2010 on my computer.
After I created or made a multiline text, the ribbon in autocad is getting all blurry. None of the icons in the ribbon will work (see attached picture).
I always have to shut down Autocad and restart it to continue my work.
I've got a problem following playing around (Typical, isn't it?). Architecture 2011 allows editing property sets from external objects through the host drawing (i.e. change a room number of a property set attached to a space xref'ed in from another construct). This obviously has to put an editing lock onto the xref to prevent data loss in case somebody else works on the xref in the meantime. This editing lock is removed when I close my host drawing. However, the lock is immediately restored when I re-open the host drawing.
How can I release the xref file lock again after editing the property sets in my host drawing?

I need to rotate/move some materials, I know how to do it, but after mapping it, when I need to make any drawing modification, the mapped material resets to their default, and not ionly the modificated solid, but everything that I have mapped.
How do I save the mapping coordinates, to avoid the need to map everything everytime?
Before I save a drawing in AutoCAD Architecture, I hit ZOOM EXTENTS so the thumbnail preview is accurate and so it comes up the same way the next time it's opened. Unfortunately, after doing a ZOOM EXTENTS, SAVE & CLOSE, upon re-opening the drawing, the view shifts downward, which usually covers up the title of the drawing.

We are trying to secure our drawings using regular NTFS folder/files permissions on a Windows 2003 server. The goal is to let users save changes to dwg files but NOT delete files or move them. We are trying to prevent accidental deletion of files.
We have created a group which is assigned all rights on files except "Delete". Unfortunately, this does not work because upon saving a file, ACAD deletes the original file of a network drive and recreates it with new/updated one. AutoCAD requires the "Delete" trigger.
Is there a method or a work around we could use to aid us on the task? All other programs like Creative suite, Office applications, various graphic programs work wonderfully with the permissions in place but not AutoCAD Architecture 2008. From what i've read this issue dates back to the dates of AutoCAD 14.
Our files are very valuable and there are LOTs of them. We can't be the only firm that values their files and not have dealt with this issue.
I am running ACA 2011 x64. Recently I have been unable to save a view drawing in the project manager. When I press the save button it a window pops up telling me it cannot save the drawing in my project folder and saves it as a .tmp file.

I have to save it with other name.
I'm working with PSE8 and OS X 10.9.1
For the past couple of months we have noticed we are loosing files on the save command with no warning or notice. When the drawing is saved and then closed we discover that occasionally the file did not save and the original version of the file is lost. Sometimes the original version gets saved as a bak file but not always. No warning message shows up to inform that the command was not completed correctly, it looks like the save took place.
Recently we switched to Windows 7, 64 bit machines. All three machines this has occured on match and are saving back to 2010 version. One of the machines is running a trial version of Architecture 2011, the other two are running network licenses of Architecture 2012 with Service Pack 1. The files being lost are all located on a server in the same folder structure, not in the same folder. That server is new and has some sort of mirroring set up to image files to multiple locations? This phenomenon has only been noticed to occur on saving a file from Architecture. We do save other file types to the same folders and have not noticed any going missing. To my knowlege the files never show back up (one of our IT staff suggested the mirroring might be causing a delay in the file showing up in the folder.)
I am having an issue when opening and saving files is very slow when I have a project active in the Project Navigator.
If I have an active project, and I open a file via Project Navigator or Windows Explorer, the process hangs for 15-20+ seconds at the 'Opening C:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ac$' point, where it is creating the temporary file.
If I 'Close the current project' in the project browser and open the same file via Windows Explorer, the process takes less than a second.
I have noticed that CS6 Editor does not add a "_edited" or something like that when I pick Save As. This is not a terribly bad issue but if it is just that I have a setting wrong then I really would like to know.

LR3 offers easy workflows out-to-external-editor>back-to-LR3 if you save back as TIFF or PSD.
But, I didn't find any easy or not extremely clumsy way to saving the edited photo back as JPG to LR3 and having it organized "close" to the original/source-DNG (preferably stacked).
