AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref Selection To Working File

Mar 27, 2013

I have loaded an xref in to my working file.  I temporarily unloaded the xref so that it would not be in the way as I was editing my drawing.  Even though the xref is unloaded and I can not see it on screen it still highlights and becomes visible as if I picked it with my fence while I am trying to edit other entities to my drawing.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot Xref Construct Into View File

Jul 11, 2013

I cannot xref a construct into a view dwg using PN. I get error "Could not reference file <construct> in <view>. Same problem whether I use relative or full pathing. But I can manually attach the construct using the XREF command. So I know it is not a file/folder permissions problem. What's annoying is that I did get it to work with one construct but not another.

I am using ACA 2013 and I see that there is a service pack 2 update.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Computer Freeze / Search File To Make Xref Into Drawing

Oct 26, 2010

I have a few problems with my autoCAD 2010 version on my new computer.When I make a few hatches, there is a possibility that my entire computer freezes and the only way out is a hard shut down of my computer.

The same problem also appeared when I tried to open a drawing direct in autoCAD or when I search the file to make an exref into the drawing.

AutoCAD Architecture :: File Will Lose Data After Working In File

Oct 25, 2012

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.

AutoCad :: Use Xref Manager To See Where Actual File For Xref Resides On Computer / Server

Nov 15, 2013

I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?

I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multiple Grip Selection Not Working When Pan Or Zoom During Selection

Jul 12, 2011

When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.

This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref Display And Cut Planes

Aug 14, 2013

Using PN, I set up 2 levels. Level 1 at 0'-0", Level 2 at 10'-0".  I create a Level 1 construct and create my AEC model.  I then create my Level 2 construct and xref my Level 1 construct in to use as an underlay.  However, using OOTB Medium display configuration I cannot see the Level 1 xref because the Level 2 cut plane is at 3'-6" and the Level 1 construct is 10'-0" below this cut plane.  Is this the intended result?

To allow me to see my Level 1 xref in my Level 2 construct, I am required to override the global cut plane in my Level 1 construct and set my wall cut planes, for *each* wall style, to 3'-6".  After saving the Level 1 construct, I reload in the Level 2 construct, and the walls appear, as an underlay, in the Level 2 construct as desired.

Is this the only way to see one xref above or below the other?  Isnt one of the major advantages of using xrefs is as underlays for stacking levels?I dont have to override the global cut plane in all my wall styles.

AutoCAD Architecture :: XREF - Multiple References

Mar 5, 2013

ACA2011.I've got a construct that for some reason has 2 xrefs listed within it that I can't detach. It says that it is unresolved and when I try to detach it it says "c_Floor Plan - First" has multiple references, Not detached." This is one of two xrefs in the drawing doing this...how is it possible to have an xref of the same name in the drawing? I can't figure out how to detach it. It was causing problems in the view to which it was referenced, and I solved it by creating a bogus, blank construct called "test" and changed the path of the xref in the construct to this drawing...but I still can't detach it.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref And Text / Dim Background

Jul 26, 2012

When I set the background mask to "yes" for text or dims it does mask out the xref as long as I set the cursor on the text / dim. When I move the cursor off the text / dim, the xref reappears, so when I print, the text is illegible due to the background walls etc.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Text Scale In Xref?

Aug 7, 2012

i have a structural xref drawing that has all the text 10"high. I xref (overlay) that drawing into another one, but that drawing is going to have a scale 1/4"=1'-0" is there a way to auto scale all the text in to xref to become 4" high?

a bit more information

the structural drawing that im xrefing in will be overlayed over my floorplans, then printed at the 1/4"=1'-0"

I need the structural base drawing to keep the 10" text height because some times i have to print off the entire structural plan separate.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref Hides New Linework

Feb 7, 2012

All I want to do is trace on top of an x-ref elevation. The x ref hides all my new lines so I cannot see what I've just drawn. Even the display order has no effect, not that I want to use the display order every time I draw a line. I just want my new black lines to show up on top of the faded xref image.

AutoCAD LT :: Architecture Xref- Walls Showing As 1 Line

May 18, 2012

I am using Autocad LT 2013 and Autocad Architecture withing the same office.  When I open a file that has an Xref from Autocad Architecture with 3D walls in Autocad LT, the walls only show as 1 line instead of 2.   If I open the orginal file that the Xref came from, with Autocad LT the walls show up just fine (as blocks instead of 3d walls as I expected).  I am hoping to be able to veiw the Xrefs correctly in Autocad LT.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Edit Xref In Place Run Time

May 10, 2012

I'm getting very long run times to edit x refs in place. Once the exref drawing opens,  sometimes after 2 or three minutes, and I make my edit, It can take ten minuted to close the xref.

Drawing are clean, purged, -purged, recovered audited.  Computer is new workstation and dedicated to CAD only. Very little opportunity for corrupted files.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Xref Insertion Position Error

Aug 23, 2011

We have just started to use Autocad Architecture 2012 however when we add an xref we get a location insertion position error.

The original drawing xref is created at 0,0,0 and the drawing we are referencing into is also created with the same points. If we paste a point from 0,0,0 to the original co-ordinates it looks fine.  However when we add the xref to another file the xref seems to come in at insertion point x 70484.84995973 and insertion point y 16146.53159634

Is there any way of sorting this out as we would like to use 0,0,0 as the xref insertion point?

AutoCAD Architecture :: XRef Objects Not Showing In Drawing

Dec 11, 2013

I have a drawing done in AutoCAD Architecture 2013.  Most of it is just lines, but I have a couple of Walls with Doors.  It looks fine in the base drawing but when I xref into another file the walls revert to their original color and the doors have disappeared.  The opening is there but no door.

I tried xredit and the doors are there but when I close that they are gone again.  Tried detaching and reattaching...still have the problem.

After I posted this tried Display Configuration.  Clicking all options for Doors gives me the doors...in a closed position, not the same as in the base plan.

AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Edit Propertyset Data Though XRef

Aug 14, 2013

The way it looks I should be able to edit the propertyset data though an XRef... but all the properties are grayed out. I thought it was because I also had the XRef open... so I closed it. Still the same result.

The discription says "Edit property set data in the current drawing or through external references.  Add or Remove property sets."

Am I not understanding the tool - or what?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Plotting Files With PDF Xref Directly From 2012?

Aug 28, 2012

problem when plotting files that have PDF images attached to them and are viewed through a viewport.  When plotting, the publishing bar fills up but then stays filled and doesnt disappear.  At this point AutoCAD is locked up and I see the file starts spooling.  I have several PDF files attached that amount to no more than 500 kb, however, when spooling it racks up to 30mb before in sends it off to the plotter and it takes a very lenghtly wait (up to 60 min).  Eventually it plots and sometimes it doesn't plot at all.  After a while if I try cancelling the plot, it will start plotting but only half of the page and after that the entire operating system will lockup.  We have several machines (6) and 2 plotters in a network and the plotters are shared.  Is there a better and faster way to work with PDF xrefs?  Could this be a networking problem instead of AutoCAD?  

machine specs:

Dell Precision T3400
Intell Core Duo @ 2.33GHz
2GB RAM
OS: XP pro ver.2002 (w/ SP3)
AutoCAD Architecture 2012

Plotters:

HP Design Jet 1055CM

AutoCAD Architecture :: Disable Smarts Walls Interacting Through XREF?

Nov 14, 2011

I'm using AutoCAD Architecture 2009. I xref a lot of floor plans underneath my new floor plans to trace different walls, roof outlines etc and ever since I started using the smart walls this has become a real pain. When I xref in a demo floor plan for example underneath my new remodeled plan the walls from the xref interact with the new walls and of course bring up all the error triangles.Is there a way to make the xref not interact with the plan that it is being place under?
