AutoCAD Architecture :: Multiple Open Windows Don't Retain Relative Ordering In 2014

Jun 13, 2013

My problem is similar to the "send behind"/"bring to front" commands that you use when you're drawing.  But my issue is this: what wastes a lot of time for me in the new program is when I try to work in multiple windows at once.  (Btw, we don't have large screens to work with here.)  Usually what I'll do is have, say, three or four windows up at a time, none of which are maximized, and usually have two that I'm working on side by side, with the remaining one or two sitting in the background.  I also keep a lot of windows active, and minimized, so that's not the answer I'm trying to find.  I work mostly in model space if that makes any difference, though I don't think it should.

Now, not only do the borders of each of my windows get all sorts of funky screen images on them when I move them around (mildly amusing but not annoying), but what really grinds my gears is that the orientation, or layering, or what-have-you, of the windows that I have active and open in the background is not retained.  Let's say I have X-1 and A-1 up front and center, and I have A-3 and A-4 in the background.  Let's say I had moved A-3 to sit on top of A-4 before I started working on the X-1 and A-1 sheets.  Now, in the 2013 version, if I'd slide X-1 or A-1 out of the way, I'd see A-3 sitting right there on top, all happy and pretty where I left it.

VideoStudio :: Ordering Tracks When Using Multiple Overlays

Oct 1, 2010

I'm using Videostudio 12 pro, and am using all 6 overlay tracks for chroma keyed effects. What I'm trying to do is order the tracks so I can control which tracks lays on top of the other. This can be done in Paint Shop Pro or any other publishing software, like Publisher, but I can't find anything that allows me to do this in Video Studio.

I've found that most of the overlay tracks lay on top of the previous track and it's causing difficulty in ordering the people in my clip. Is there a way to control this? Example, I'd like overlay track 5 to go on top of overlay 4 but it won't work.

AutoCAD LT :: Open Multiple Drawings In Separate Windows?

Nov 15, 2011

Currently when I open up multiple drawings (opening them up one at a time) they all appear in the same window (one instance) of AutoCAD.

I want each drawing to open in separate instances so I can view them on separate monitors (and close one without being asked to close them all).

I have tried changing the SDI system variable from 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)

I have tried changing the windows default program from AutoCAD Application to AutoCAD Launcher (and vise-versa)

I have set the TASKBAR system variable at both 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)

AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot Open Drawings From Previous Releases In 2013 Running On Windows 8

Jan 7, 2013

I 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.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Open Multiple Drawings Using One Window Only In Windows 7

Jul 6, 2011

why Autocad 2012 opens one window per drawing as opposed to Autocad 2007/2008 opening one window for as many drawings as you have open.  (I also don't care to group/ungroup similar programs through Windows 7.)  This must be an Autocad 2012 program default that I can't figure out to change.

Photoshop :: Multiple Windows Open In Tabs

Aug 21, 2009

When the "Open Documents as Tabs" checkbox is UNCHECKED, opening multiple documents via File > Open will open them as intended: stacking them on top of each other. However, dragging multiple documents onto the PS tab in the taskbar, or dragging them directly onto PS application surface will NOT have this effect and will open the documents in tabbed mode regardless of the prefs settings. THIS IS !%$@#$ ANNOYING!!! I hope adobe considers fixing this without making me pay a gazillion bucks for another update for a bug fix.

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 - Open Dialog Does Not Retain Resizing After Parts List Export

I had resized the File>Open dialog in Inventor.  I had resized it so that it was quite large so I realized pretty quickly when I opened another file, that the window size had rest to its original size.

What I found was that if I export a parts list to excel, then go to File>Open, for some reason the size of my file>open dialog is cleared.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 Will Not Run With Screen Maximized

Oct 16, 2013

When Autocad is started, it appears to  be in a maximized window (it covers the entire screen and the windows maximize icon in the upper right corner shows maximized, but if I click on the top of the screen I can still drag the location of the Autocad window as though it was not maximized.  Clicking the windows button to show in a window reduces the Autocad window as it should and re-clicking to maximize APPEARS to maximize Autocad, but it can still be dragged from the top of the screen.

This is not a windows problem, because all of my other programs (internet explorer, MS word, etc.) will maximize as they should.

I am running windows 7, 64 bit and Autocad 2014.

I'd like to use clipping masks to crop the images in the same way (the same size but also the same positions relative to the corners/sides of the images. In case that was incoherent, I made an image to try to explain what I'm trying to achieve (the same portion of each image for each set):

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 - Scaling Schedule Tags

Oct 1, 2013

how to get the annotative scale to work with schedule tags.When I use attributes in blocks I draw the attribute definition with a height that I wish it to display in PaperSpace.  Then when defining the block I select the annotative scale so that the block and text display correctly in any viewport.

However when I create Scheduling Tags using the Create Tags button on the Annotate/Scheduling tab it shrinks the text by 1/8" as soon as the tag is created.  I've made sure that the scales are set to 1:1 when I create it.  I guess I can just enlarge the text 8 times before I make the Tag.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 Spaces Display Representations

Sep 30, 2013

I have a file with several Space Styles.  As I progress on the drawings I would like to modify some of the display properties, primarily color of the fill.  I would think I could set the overall appearance of each Space Style in one location and then adjust elements of various display representations.  In my case have a red hatch for a space style but in one display rep it would be solid and in another it would be a diagonal hatch. 

As I see it, if I wish to modify the color I have to go into each display rep and adjust the color of the base hatch and click on the Style Override check box.  It seems like duplicative work.  Is there another method of setting the color of each Space Style so that it shows the same in all display reps?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot Edit Project Properties 2014 On W8

Nov 18, 2013

I am running Architecture 2014 (PrDS-U) on a Windows8 Pro N.

In Architecture I am a frequent user of the Project Navigator.

After moving to W8, I find that I can not edit Project properties, neither from Project Browser nor the Navigator.

The project resides on my local C:VCC and the folder is being shared on my network. It is not write protected. Everyone has full access.

Others who are connected to the share can edit the project, they are running Windows 7. I cannot.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Importing Excel 2013 File Into 2014 DWG?

When I try to attach a 2013 Excel file into a 2014 drawing I get a message 'You have selected an unsupported DGN File.  Only V7 and V8 files are supported.'  Cannot attache through the Import command either.  I know in past versions you could insert the file and any changes made to the file appeared to the attachment in the drawing.

Is this no longer possible?  Surely not, it is way to handy.  What am I overlooking to make this happen?

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2014 / Customizing CUIx Causes Loss Of Menus?

Aug 28, 2013

Doesn't CUIx mean Custom User Interface?

Background:  Using a new release of 2014 out of the box.  Made some changes to the .PGP file, created a custom palette and dragged some tools and gave them some standardized styles.  Worked fine all day. 

Problem: The next morning I booted up ACA and the menu ribbon failed to load. At the command prompts suggestion I tried CUILOAD.  Got the dialog box, found the ACA.CUIX file, but despite pressing the LOAD button nothing happened. 

Fix: I looked into the folder where the ACA.CUIX file was located (first folder on the support path), noticed there was a ACA.bak.CUIX file in the same folder.  I renamed the ACA.CUIX file and then took the .bak "extension" off of the other file.  Everything loads fine... except no customization.

Odd note: Last night, after I closed all my applications I went to shut down my computer and got Windows 7 version of the Blue Screen of Death.  I immediately rebooted and all looked OK, but I did not start ACA.  Not sure if related but just thought I mention it.

Request:  Is there a special step that I missed when creating a custom palette that caused it not to reload? 

I tried attaching the offending .CUIx file but the forum rejected it by stating "The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type."

AutoCAD Architecture :: Missing Objects In Model Space 2014?

Aug 29, 2013

We experienced a problem.  we have a drawing file, is about 1.6meg not big. while working in model space doing some 3D work, all of a sudden all the objects dissapear except for some text.  all layers are on and thawed. we regen all, zoom all. weird thing is when we go into the paper space tabs everything shows up. so all the data is there some place but cant find it in model space.  

there are no xrefs in the drawings and i had cleaned all the multiple copies out before to keep the file size down and more workable.  this is happening on two machines. other drawings are fine.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Architecture 2014 - Formula Column Totals In Schedule

Nov 22, 2013

when creating a schedule with a simple formula column (e.g : [QUANTITY]*Width), the formula column total doesn't add the formula results for a grand total. The total shown is the addition of Width of element.

If I try and enable "Apply formula to totals", the total is : total quantity*total width instead of just a simple addition of formula resulting values.

For example:

I have 4 windows of 2 different styles.Two windows have a width of 2 meters, the other 2 windows have a width of 3 meters. I want to find out, my total window width, of all window styles.Therefore, i make a schedule with the following columns: QUANTITY, WIDTH and TOTAL WIDTH. The total width column is a formula column (Quantity*Width). The total of the formula column (Quantity*Width) doesn't add the resulting values (2*2+3*2=10), it only adds the simple widths without multiplication with quantity, my result is 5, wich is incorect. If i enable "Apply formula to totals", it multiplies total quantity (4) by total width (5).

I need a solution for having the corect total on the formula column.
