I have just gotten a new computer from our Corp office. They preloaded ACAD Architecture 2011. Neither them or I can change it the Pstylemode to 1. It is set to read only. How do I change this to read 1 so that it can open all files in CTB Mode.

In my project navigator, when I want to open an Elevation file it says to Read-only. How can open the file to work in it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe've been having some issues that have only recently cropped up. If I am in a drawing named FP-00.dwg and I am working, saving regularly, etc. everything is fine. If a co-worker opens up the same file, he will sometimes (10%) NOT receive the read-only pop up and he will open the same drawing with full rights. Then, if I go and try to save, I will be alerted that the file is in use, and my file will be switched to read-only. When I have to do a saveas, the file then changes the default name to: FP-00.fdwg (notice the "F" in front of .dwg).
I posted this to the AutoCAD Architecture group, b/c we are currently using Architecture 2k8.
No one has changed out Open/Save options, and we haven't been losing the connection with our server.
I'm attching a PS of the Open/Save setting.
Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

I am using Inv/Vault Pro 2011.
I updated my computer to windows 7 32 bit and need the file: AdskHwCertificationDatabase.xml - version 17.1.0.4 so that I can find out the correct driver for my OS and my quadrofx 1700 graphics card. Autodesk doesn't support 2008 Architecture and the on;y file I can find is buried in a torrent file with a pirated copy of 2008 and I DO NOT wish to download that.

I do not get why new Archicad Architecture has 3d modeling when Revit architecture already provided for it. What is the different between those two? I really want to know the difference. It bothers me somewhat about them.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a problem with using our AutoCAD LT 2012 on our the network:
If a folder on the network is for the designer read-only, AutoCAD file open and reports the error "drawing file is not valid". Designers who have write-access to this folder open files with the same version AutoCAD (LT 2012) without a problem. If I add write-access right to users to this folders, he open it fine.
The problem is only with network folders (sharing Win2008 server); if it is a local folder with read-only access, AutoCAD will recognize it and offer opening for reading only. This version (LT 2012 SP2) has apparently some problem with access to network folders with read-only rights.
If the file is opened via the "Open read-only" from the pull-down menu in the Open AutoCAD dialogue, it works well. This approach is however very inconvenient - designer finds a link to a file in our information system, he wants to open the file, but get the above error.
Copy the file to local disk isnt usually possible, because of using XREFs files, which he also need to load.
The problem is possibly in an attempt to create a DWL file. We didn't use the function WhoHas, so that a possible solution would be to disable the creation of these DWL files. But this option in ACad LT 2012 isnt possible.Is is solution to migrate to new AutoCAD LT 2014?

Save a drawing, and close AutoCAD.
Open drawing on another computer, and it says file is in use, and asks if I would like to open as read-only.
The problem is consistent, and happens even if I wait a few minutes to open the file after closing it on the other computer.
I would like to make windows service (.NET C#), which would watch directory changes and read dwg extents, if file extension was .dwg.
Is this possible to make on machine, where autocad isn't installed?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running AutoCAD 2000 ( I know it's older than most users out there... but good enough for me) and have received 3 dwg files (floor plans) that were exported from VectorWorks (newer version) yesterday. My issue is that these files have been exported to a newer format than my ACAD2000 is able to open and I really need to be able to get at these to be able to work on them.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI need to send a drawing to a client but don't want them to be able to edit it, but want them to be able to xref into their drawings.
I have added the dwg to autodesk 360 but it does not show any of the xref files (it has 8 and they are necessary).
I cant seem to work out how to DWF, can you save as dwf in infinite model space or does it always come out as a layout? I would like if I could save it as a dwf and for it to function like a dwg in model space.
I've been given a dwg file to work with but it's read only so I can't save my work! How can I solve this? Is it possible to convert the file so I can save it?

Dim x_ucs_wcs As Double = Xaxis_UCS.AngleOnPlane(New Plane(Point3d.Origin, Vector3d.ZAxis))

I installed AutoCAD 2013. I have done a few projects on it and everything worked fine. But today after getting a project part way completed I saved it and closed it, then moved on to something else. When I came back to it to work on it some more, it told me that it was in use and that I could only open it as a "Read Only".
It was not open by anything other CAD pragrams or anything. What is the problem here.The only way it seems I can work on it again is to do a reboot. I dont want to do this all the time.
why it is only telling me I can open it as "Read Only" when it is not opened by anything else. But it tells me it is in use by another program.

I have made a plug-In for AutoCAD 2013 which reads the x-Ref from a DWG File.
However, I wants to read this xRef Details (with parent child tree information), from an Console or Windows Based Application. i.e. without loading DWG in AutoCAD, Is it possible to directly read the xRef details?
Is it possible to read the current setting for drawing projection (1st or 3rd angle) from the style library associated with the currently open drawing file (idw)?
