I created a new mtext leader and it is set to one scale of 1/4" it shows fine in model space and paper space. Then when edit my drawings to try to add hatch or dim. there is a large text that appears in the background.
View 5 Replieswhile working on a new file, which only has our 4 standard textstyles, something happened at some point during the work period where multiple textstyles named "AUDIT_1_12030....." and counting up appeared. over 40 of them.
they are all somehow embedded within the each object in the file, even lines, which confuses me. Noweven if i wanted to just copy most of the project excluding blocks, dims, leaders and text, (which was my original assumption that the textstyles were in there somewhere), I cant. I usually am able to remove unwanted textstyles through the TXTMRG LISP/VBA macro. It has no effect this time.
I receive this error (sometimes) on shutting down AutoCAd Architecture but what it may represent.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using Architecture 2013 for a while now, but now there is what I beleve to be a configuration issue. Essentially, ACAD loads,but does not recognise any AEC components. The tool pallette no longer has an icon to add a wall, for example. If I load an older drawing that has a wall in it, and select the wall, the Properties window says it is a wall, but none of the blue grips is visible. Right clicking does not give the option to "Edit Wall Style" for example. It behaves as though it does not know what an Architecural element is. If it type "WALLADD" at the command line, it says ""Unknown Command".
The company I purchased it from initially had me do a "repair", then a "reinstall" and then a "Clean reinstall". All of which I have done.
I recently downloaded the trial version of Autocad Architecture 2013. I changed my main customization file to aca.cuix so that I would have the build panel. The build panel is now there, but it is not working. All the icons are questions marks and when I click on the ceiling grid icon it says 'unknown command'. How can I get the ceiling grid function to start working?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI xref’d a plan into a compiled drawing and added notes in the compiled drawing’s model space. The xref’d plan contains an image. When adding the notes in the compiled drawing, I turn the layer off on the xref that contains the image so that I can see the text clearer. When I turn the image layer on, the notes are there, but 2 things are happening: (1) I cannot select the xref for some reason, and (2) the text disappears in the viewport when I switch to paper space.
I am using Autocad Architecture 2009.
All my layers are turned on, when in an existing drawing my schedules do not appear when I use the tool to create them. When I open a new drawing draw a wall and a couple doors, the schedule inserts when I use the annotate tool. I am only using a basic floor plan at the moment, no xrefs or anything else, simple walls and doors and inserted from the program. I did use tags for the doors and windows which worked fine.

i created a method that creates a "DIMSTYLE":
private ObjectId CreateDimstyle() { DimStyleTable dimStyleTable = (DimStyleTable)transaction.GetObject(database.DimStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); DimStyleTableRecord dimStyleTableRecord = null; if (dimStyleTable.Has(configuration.EXTDIMStyleName) == false) { if (dimStyleTable.IsWriteEnabled == false) dimStyleTable.UpgradeOpen(); dimStyleTableRecord = new DimStyleTableRecord(); dimStyleTableRecord.Name = configuration.EXTDIMStyleName; dimStyleTable.Add(dimStyleTableRecord); transaction.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(dimStyleTableRecord, true); } else { dimStyleTableRecord = transaction.GetObject(dimStyleTable[configuration.EXTDIMStyleName], OpenMode.ForWrite) as DimStyleTableRecord; } dimStyleTableRecord.Dimscale = configuration.EXTDIMScale; dimStyleTableRecord.Dimtdec = configuration.EXTDIMPrecision; dimStyleTableRecord.Dimlunit =
[code]...
Works well. But I think it would be more correct to put the text style in the style of the dimension. As in AutoCad.
I was looking at the properties of "DIMSTYLE."

But found no one to set "TEXTSTYLE" pattern to my "DIMSTYLE".How can I do this?
I'm a student and a beginner in VBA. I'm writing a macro to automatically draw text and lines in a drawing and it goes pretty well. But now I have encountered a problem. When I add text like this:
Dim FreqBox As TextBox
Set FreqBox = oSketch.TextBoxes.AddFitted(oTG.CreatePoint2d(1.9, 1.95), GegevensForm.FrequentieVak.Value)
This is like I want it, but not the right font or size, so I add this:
FreqBox.Style.Font = "Arial"
FreqBox.Style.FontSize = 0.2
This goes well too, but then I want to add another TextBox, in another style, like this:
Dim VermogenBox As TextBox
Set VermogenBox = oSketch.TextBoxes.AddFitted(oTG.CreatePoint2d(3.7, 3.2), GegevensForm.VermogenVak.Value)
VermogenBox.Style.Font = "Arial"
VermogenBox.Style.FontSize = 0.5
VermogenBox.HorizontalJustification = kAlignTextRight
VermogenBox.Style.Bold = True
And suddenly when I run this, the other text is changing to these settings... (exept for the alignment).Is it possible to do this without the FormattedText option
We 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a couple of psd files last night. A simple pricelist in photoshop and I developed a habit of saving every few minutes. I can't remember if I closed photoshop last night or not but when I woke up this morning, my pc had rebooted itself (re-started).
I open photoshop to start working on the files again and this icon appears but with the name that I saved my files as (8.5x11_pricelist) . I tried to open it in photoshop and I get the error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I clicked on properties to see what is going on and it simply states 8.5x11_pricelist file and in the "open with" section it states: unknown.
I don't know what could've happened but I'm devistated. I've been working on this file for sometime now. get my file back?
A friend sent me the file with this object that I couldn't figure out what it is.I was wondering a transparency, but there is no "type" in it.Or maybe a lens, but still I could not recreate it.
Have a look to the file in: [URL].......
I am working on a scene in Maya 2011 as a Maya binary and can open the scene up in Maya 2012 as a binary without any problems. But, when I save the file in Maya 2012, I can no longer open it in Maya 2011.
I've read in the forums that I can save it as a Maya ASCII file and have better luck transferring between Maya versions but I cannot get Maya 2011 or 2012 to save the scene as a Maya ASCII file.
I get the following error: // Error: File contains unknown nodes or data. To preserve this information, the current file type cannot be changed.
I've tried "Ignore Version" on when opening and have deleted all all by type/non-deformer history but no luck.
I'm attempting to export out an animation clip and got the above error. A similar post years back and said it was a plugin issue. But nor sure which plugin I might have turned off.
By the way, Steps performed prior to"
Selected mesh and rig (contains IKFK nodes)> Generated character set "walk", ect Then while still selected, Edit>Keys> Baked Simulation Then from the graph editor and the character selected, File> Export Animation Clip....that's when I get the error.
I think I covered the steps correctly. Maybe I'm missing something?
You more experiance animators/riggers might be able to shed some light on this modeler.
I have both 32- and 64-bit versions of Adobe Illustrator CS6 The error occurs only with the 64-bit version,The error occurs only when saving files containing text objects.Unchecking "Create PDF Compatible File" doesn't solve the problem. Resetting Illustrator's settings also doesn't work.
It's pretty much time taking switching between the two versions and I also have files pretty big enough that require opening in the 64 bit version.
I receive that message when I try to open a new document. My others such as Photoshop and In Design are fine as far as I can tell. I'm using CS4 on Windows 7.

Im currently using Autocad Architecture, is it true that Autocad Architecture creates a bigger file size compared to Revit Architecture? Lets say that same structure and components are created.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis just started happening and I don't know if I inadvertently have changed a setting. I open a file in Photoshop and the file is obviously open because I can see it in the history or layers panel. However it does not appear on the screen. I've tried changing my viewing and other things, and it just isn't there.
My only solution is to shut Photoshop down completely, reopen Photoshop and reopen the file. Very inconvenient.
I create my slide using illustrator (from CS2 to CS5) and when I save the file in pdf format, a red line is being created around the rectangle border of the silde.
I don't know how it was generated and what to do to remove it.
I just (re)installed Photoshop on my computer after a fresh install of Windows (damn that 2 year rule...) and now the color white on the screen comes out as a light yellow. When i save the files and view it in another program, or print it, it comes out as white, and the numbers (whatever they're called) are set to 255, 255, 255, yet it still comes out as a yellow.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI Keep having this reoccuring problem today - white lines keep appearing attatched to certain & all layers in photoshop files that I have, the only solution that seems to get rid of them is to put a mask on the layer and mask the line away, these are appearing on text, smart objects & rastersized layers.
They were not there when I previously saved the file and they should not be there now, I then went to open another file I had and white lines started to appear on the files. This is really frustrating because some of the website documents have alot of layers. I have attatched an example below, they only appear to be 1 pixel and can range up to 2500pixels wide and they overlap making the line look thicker sometimes.
I have upgraded to ACA 2013 and I have had nothing but problems and I want to know if I am alone on this. I have uploaded AEC Section Display and Tag Scale Hotfix, URL....
AutoCAD Architecture 2013 Service Pack 1, URL....
AutoCAD Architecture 2013 & AutoCAD MEP 2013 Content Browser Migration Hotfix. URL....
ACA2013 was released and I have had it on the desk for some time and finally I got the nerve to load the upgrade. This I did in accordance with the instructions. The upgrade went well.
Additional problems with my working files involved, the file will lose data while working in the file, the program will do strange things to the file like I would lose data while in layout tab within a viewport and the data would still be present in the model tab. I have lost printer setup files only to reopen the drawing and find these have returned.I have lost layout tabs completely. I would reload another menu and they would return. I was speaking to another person comparing Autocads and his had the layout tabs and mine did not.I have zoom scaling problems within the layout viewport. I use to be able to zoom, scale, 1/20xp for 1:20 scale and it would not recognise the command.I was informed via Autodesk to load the service pack Autocad_2013_sp1.14_64, this would not work then I was informed to load the service pack Autocad Architecture _2013_sp1_64 which it did successfully. Still had problems with ACA2013. have situations where the shell command will not work ie punch a hole within the object selected.I have changed from the working model tab to layout tab and back to model tab only to have the view change for no reason ie it will go into (+)(custom view)(wire frame) without selecting it.I have lost data, (part of the actual drawing) within my working drawing simply by using the boeleon subtract command.I have situation when you use the push pull command and nothing happens and then you reopen ACA afresh and try it again and this time it will work.I have email Autodesk in the US and it got alll TO HARD for them and they have abandoned me.
I am trying to bring in a KML file into CAD. Specificaly, I am trying to bring the contour lines in as polylines/lines. Is there a way to convert KML into DWG/DXF files that can be opened? I can live without the heights being part of it as I can just refer back to my Google Earth to get that information, I just need the lines themselves.
