View 2 RepliesI have 2 files, A100 and C100, with C100 being xrefed into A100. Both have a few other xrefs in them, being used for whatever reasons, and must stay.If you open either file without the other being present, they open fine, but if they can find each other there's a 20-40 minute lockup.
C100 being a civil drawing, I thought the problem was one of the missing .shx files. So after spending countless hours trying to track it down, I finally noticed a warning when trying to open the files together that C100 had 2200+ scale lists. Using 2008 in the office, scalelistedit gives a runtime error, as well as the 2008 install at home. Using 2010, scalelistedit is successful in solving my 20-40 minute problem. (I did save back down to 2007..)
Now, back in 2008, the Style Manager won't open, as it says there is content from a newer version in the file. Also, any xrefs with AEC content, walls etc, come in without displaying said content.
I have found that since installing the service pack for 2014, xclips in paper space have become blank, or, on occasion, 1 will show, but others won't. The invert still works, strangely enough.

For office standards sake, I've created commands in drop menus that allow every employee to use various ‘standard’ page setups: for our plotter, printer and .dwg to .pdf. It's done with a lisp routine that basically looks up a .dwg with all those page setups already created (-psetupin).
Also, I've created 2 custom .pc3 files. The first is called 'Plotter' and the second is called 'Printer'. I did this in order to simply the task of (not) modifying our customization in the event of a dying printer/plotter. These .pc3 files are on our network and every user has access to them via an office profile, with the appropriate Printer Support File Path. We all have the same printer/plotter drivers.
Problem:Everything works fine, except for 2 employees. The lisp routine loads properly, as I can see it go in the command line and the page setup actually loads as well, as its name is in the page setup drop down menu, in the Plot menu. However, the page setup isn't 'selectable'. Also, if we try to 'preview' the plot we get this message: The selected layout has an invalid media configuration.
Every option in the page setup in as wanted (printer/Plotter name, scale, plot area, plot offset, etc.), EXCEPT for the paper size (even though the paper size specified in the lisp routine is available in the paper size list).
95% of the page setups work properly. The only one that don’t work are those for our plotter on paper sizes called ‘A1 (landscape)’ & ‘A0’.
I’ve created new .pc3 files, as I wanted to be sure they weren’t corrupted. We’ve reinstalled the printer/plotter drivers. I’ve reinstalled the office profile. I’ve checked that the paper sizes specified in the lisp routine were available in the .pc3 file.

ACA12 - the mouse wheel doesn't work on many of the dropdowns anymore? Is this an 'improvement' or is there a new variable I need to learn to turn it back on.
Do autodesk have only 12 fonts on their machine? Why is the text style font name drop boxes so tiny? Makes it real time consuming to select a font when you have lots of fonts as I'd imagine most machines have.

Why my MTEXT columns become very narrow and tall after I exit and re-open a drawing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some reason when I place new text or line work in a file it is fine, but when I save the drawing, close it and re-open it all of the text and line work found in model space goes gray. Yet if I place new text and use the match property command on text placed previously, that is now gray, and use it on new text, the new text recieves the attributes of what the previously placed text has minus the appearance of being gray. In my drawing I am using a shape file and a data connect image through planning and analysis.

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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll my drawings have loads and loads of obsolete scales on them. Trouble is, when I run the scalelistedit function, Autocad 2008 comes up with the following message:
'Unhandled exception has occurred in a component of your drawing.If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.Index was outside the bounds of the array.'
This is driving me nuts because I don't know what this means and the long scale list is slowing down my work (especially when I 'copy-paste' bits of drawing from one autocad file to another.get my scalelistedit function working again!
why my scalelistedit has stopped working and how i can recover it to make it work again
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnytime I try to add a custom scale either by selecting the "custom scale" option from the paperspace viewport scale menu or by entering the command SCALELISTEDIT manually, the dialog box doesn't appear.
It's not that the box isn't opening because all other buttons and functionality are restricted in AutoCAD until I hit escape to exit out of the command. It's as if it's opening on a separate monitor, except it doesn't appear on my secondary monitor when I plug it in either.
Is there a command where I can manually add a custom scale or a property that I can change to force the box to be docked?
I need to edit the scales and add custom ones, but when i type _SCALELISTEDIT, nothing happens, I know that its selected as my layout isn't any longer, but I can't find the darn window where the scales are located. I've also tried using the menu as well. This is for ALL drawings. New and already created.

Although I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Module 32bit (from URL....), the printing Plug-in can not work with autocad 2010.the commands from the plug-in cannot be recognized.
Firstly I install autocad 2010,then VBA,next printing Plug-in.Is there anything wrong?
(visual studio 2010 c# and AutoCAD 2010 )I'm trying to create a new layer with ARGB color but SetRGB doesn`t work this way.
// Color is a System.Drawing.Color
private static void NewLayer(string layerName, Color layerColor)
{
LY_Rutas = gbl_doc.Layers.Add(layerName);
LY_Rutas.TrueColor.SetRGB(layerColor.R, layerColor.G, layerColor.B);
}
I would like to be able to check if an Annotation Scale already exists and if it doesn't I would like to create it using the SCALELISTEDIT command and then set it to be the curent scale. I then plan to invoke the MLEADER command.
I do not want to have to rely on adding every possible scale in the list beforehand as my program would fall appart when a user decides to set an unusual scale I haven't thought of adding to the list.
See my initial start of the program.
(defun C:MLD ()
(command "cannoscale" "1:55") ;STOPS HERE WHEN 1:55 DOES NOT EXIST
(setq IfAnnoScaleExists (getvar "CANNOSCALE"))
(command "-scalelistedit" "add" "1:55" "1:55" "e")
)
i am using CAD2010 & VS2012.

We have AutoCAD 2014 and 2012 currently in our office. We have a civil file that works perfectly fine with 2014 (we usually save all files down to 2010 so all our consultants can use them). When we open it in 2012 the object enabler does not seem to work only showing empty boxes with AceeLand90 text in the lower left hand corner. The civil object enabler on 2012 is up to date and the drawing was saved down to 2010. Not sure what I am missing and why it doesn't wort to have the Acee Entities shown in 2012.

As I understand it a polyline will put a curved line as close as it can to a series of points, whereas a spline will "join the dots". I need to join the dots but with a curve not a jagged straight edge.

I'm using AutoCAD Map 3D 2009.
I've created a simple drawing in CAD that contains a cropped JPEG, a two toned hatched polygon in behind it two MTexts overlaying all.
I cannot view them in either normal plotting, pdf format, jpeg format and even dwf.
I've increased the ram used in the "Raster Extension Options" (2000 MB), I've set the plotting in the "Process Document" to "...In computer", I've saved it in older formats (2000/2004/2007), I've placed the drawing on both our public drives as well as the local, I've adjusted the "Raster and Shaded/Rendered Viewports" & "OLE" settings in the "Device and Document Settings" (None to Best). Not to mention the other variations in the plot menu.
I've tried everything I can think of and have read through several threads here and nothing works.
What drives me nuts about this, is that I'm able to print from a layout with no problems a 3D drawing, with 2D hatching, an extensive title block with hatching and a secondary overall viewport (minimal detail) in the main viewport area.
I have a 3d drawing file which I manually flattened except the section. The ground plan is at 0 Z axis.
Now I am trying to draw lines on top of it, and I cannot extend my lines. Any solution to this?
Additional question:
I also had some difficulties when I was trying to flatten the 3d model. "Flatten" command did not work. I understand Flatshot did not work because these are not solids. But why Flatten did not work? That was why I had to manually change start and end of z position.
