AutoCAD Architecture :: Upgrade Existing Computer To Run Renders On Autodesk?
Mar 27, 2012
Im currently in my second year at architecture school and have recently been learning how to render and do simple animations on autodesk. Being a poor student and only having an existing home computer, how to update my system so I would be able to run some simple renders on my computer?
I have attached an image below of my system details. My computer doesnt have a graphics card and I know I need to get that sorted.

I have calculated some test renders on a small portion of the timeline in order to check things up. Now I would like to delete them and calculate everything at a later time.
Do you know the way to delete renders in order to save hard disk space ? I have tried the "force purge" function, but it didn't delete anything, the "Autodesk media storage" folder is still the same size...
And manually deleting renders in the "Autodesk media storage" folder messes everything up.

Because the new Building Suite Design programs won't run on windows vista, I've been upgrading some of our older computers to windows 7. Most are working fine but having problems with one computer.
Specs of this computer (it's pretty old I know)
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz
Asus P5K SE/EPU
NVIDIA Quadro FX 570
8gb ram
So I formatted this computer and installed windows 7 64x pro, installed all the software etc. This computer is also part of a domain. Problem now is opening some AutoCAD files on the server, edit the file then hit the x in the corner to close it, we hit yes to save it then the whole computer just freezes. It doesn't happen with all files, just some and I can't work out what the problem is. ALSO when copying some CAD files from one project folder on the server to another project folder on the server it freezes. No problems copying files to the local computer/desktop, just server-server. The graphics card driver is up to date etc.

I have a downloaded version of of Photoshop CS5.1, which was a special upgrade offer for users of PSE. I have installed PSE 7.0 on my new machine successfully. I also have the folder "Photoshop CS5 Installers" (from my old computer).
I have a file with the serial number of my CS5.1. If I run the file "Photoshop_12_1_LS1.exe" (with the file "Photoshop_12_1_LS1.7z" in the same folder) will this re-install Photoshop CS5.1 on my new computer? My old machine was running Vista Home Premium SP2 (32-bit) and the new one is running Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit). I don't want to try anything without really knowing what I'm doing for fear of messing things up.

I recently obtained a Dell Dimension 4600 to replace my Dimension b110. The 4600 is equipped with a Pentium 4 and a nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 (driver ver. 5.6.7.3), and runs Windows XP Professional SP2; my monitor is a Sharp LL-T19D1-B, connected via analog. Instead of reinstalling my things, I migrated my old HD to the new machine and installed the relevant drivers (plus a new monitor driver.)
Since then, I've noticed that everything I open in Photoshop is yellow-tinted, as is the Color Picker. I ran Adobe Gamma, set the white point to 6500 degrees K for Hardware and "Same as Hardware" for Adjusted, and was prompted to save an .icm, which I did - but Photoshop still had the yellowing. I also tried adjusting individual R/G/B gammas, but doing so changed the color balance of my entire display, with Photoshop remaining yellower in tint than everything else on my system, so I ultimately left the individual gammas alone.
Short of running proofed to Monitor RGB (which wouldn't help with the Color Picker,) how can I restore Photoshop to normal coloration?

I just built a new PC and re-installed lightroom 2.0. I downloaded the upgrade to 2.7 (which was free) and tried to import my catalogs. My 2010 catalog is fine, but my 2011 catalog says it is "too new for this version of lightroom". I never had version 3 so i dont know why it's saying my catalog is too new.

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.

I recently purchased Lightroom 3 and CS5 and succesfully installed them onto my laptop. However, my laptop is coming to the end of its life. When I get my new laptop, is it OK to re-install the programs? I have the disks. Is there anything I need to be aware of?

how I can move a user from one computer to another and have them keep all of their settings in AutoCAD Architecture 2013.
We are upgrading user laptops. I have used the Windows 7 Easy File Transfer utility on the first couple, but it does not appear to copy the users AutoCAD settings. When they open AutoCAD for the first time on the new computer, they have to set up all of their toolbars, etc again.
I have even tried copy and paste of theWin 7 AppData Local, LocalLow and Roaming folders ... but even that does not tranfer over the toolbars, menus, etc...
make it so that when a user logs into the new computer and opens AutoCAD, it is exactly as it was on the old computer?

Autodesk Content Service makes my computer so slow that it is unusable. I would like to know what this program does and whether I need it or not to run my student programs.
I removed the program using windows uninstall and my computer instantly began to respond again. Running Windows 7 Pro, 1 T 7200 rpm hard drive, 8 gb memory, quad core 775 chip. Nvidia video w/ 1gb memory.
This computer is lightning fast, no jitter or hanging in revit or auto cad until content services was running.

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.

For the past couple of months we have noticed we are loosing files on the save command with no warning or notice. When the drawing is saved and then closed we discover that occasionally the file did not save and the original version of the file is lost. Sometimes the original version gets saved as a bak file but not always. No warning message shows up to inform that the command was not completed correctly, it looks like the save took place.
Recently we switched to Windows 7, 64 bit machines. All three machines this has occured on match and are saving back to 2010 version. One of the machines is running a trial version of Architecture 2011, the other two are running network licenses of Architecture 2012 with Service Pack 1. The files being lost are all located on a server in the same folder structure, not in the same folder. That server is new and has some sort of mirroring set up to image files to multiple locations? This phenomenon has only been noticed to occur on saving a file from Architecture. We do save other file types to the same folders and have not noticed any going missing. To my knowlege the files never show back up (one of our IT staff suggested the mirroring might be causing a delay in the file showing up in the folder.)

Isn't there a way of taking an existing hatch patter off a drawing file and load it into your hatch library?

In our edit suite we have the usual video delay from the output of the Kona card through the suites monitors. We also have an audio delay box to correct for this. Our client monitors are all in sync. In Final Cut there is a control to delay the computer monitor video to have it in sync with the rest of the system. In Smoke we cannot find a similar delay. We see the audio delay in preferences but that changes the wrong offset. how to adjust the computer monitor delay so we are all in sync?

I have been learning smoke 2012 (mac osx) for some days. I am FCP user, know Photoshop, Aftereffects, premiere pro etc etc..... However i have some small and big hurdles to work away smoothly with SMOKE.
1) Are MASKS available in CC (or color warper) ? ( to relight shot)
2) How to navigate between existing keyframes? (any shortcuts)
3) How to change a part of a clip.....eg. I want to replace a sky from one clip to sky of another clip...how do i go about it? (HLS key or masks etc..i have no clue)
4) In my last export (with lot of blur and motion graphics)..i was only able to export it as DPX and not as .mov file? (.mov was showing error) . Also....I always see some artifacts with my export...why does that happen?
5) Are there any SCOPES in Color corrector....for broadcast safety purpose ? (VECTOR,PARADE etc)
6) Is there any way in smoke .where i can finish and grade my SD clips so they look like HD standard. I mean even some of HD clips look substandard or lacking that vibrant,sleek look..... am i missing something while finishing them. I am not talking about increasing gain/gamma etc to make them look brighter and breach broadcast limits.Am i suppose add a light to the clip so that they look vibrant or any other trick to keep in mind, so clip look the way they should.

We have a problem with Autodesk 360 tab in AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD. We have created two deployments. One for AutoCAD Architecture and one for AutoCAD. In both deployments we have choosen not to install Autodesk 360. We edited the ini file as told in this thread [URL] ..., and it works fine. However now we want to install Autodesk 360 for som users. We installed via AdSync.msi in the cloudsync folder and the 360 client was installed. The problem is that The 360 tab in AutoCAD still is grayd out and ther is no 360 tab in options.
We even tried to install with the original ini file but with no luck.

I'm trying to add a small registered trademark to an existing logo. I have the front and the matte of the logo which I take in to paint. While in paint, I add the registered trademark using the text brush within the graphics option. However, I can't seem to get the matte of the trademark and the existing matte of the logo to show up when I view the matte it's either one or the other - not together. So when I render, I'm not getting both the original logo and the trademark rendered with both mattes. For now, I've just composited the two in Action so I can move forward with my work but I would like to know how to do this in paint.

Have been using ACA 2013 all last week (normally do most of my work with Revit) and this time its been used intensively since install. I noticed that Autdesk 360 was doing allot of syncing. Drawings are open all of the time so the syncing activity is continuous.Then I found that over the last week broadband useage generally is clocking up to 11Gb per day (I get 60 per month), other browsers were slow and I think I have traced the problem to Autodesk 360 - it stoppped as soon as I disconnected from the cloud. It seems there is a huge amount of up and down stream data - turn 360 back on and the router lights start flashing furoiously. The cloud storage is less than 1Gb.

When viewing the model on screen it's exposed correctly, but whenever I try and render it out it's overexposed. I have included a screenshot of the rpref.

Uhm, whenever I render I only get white outputs. I'm used to use Revit, and have forgot how to use autocad. But this project relies on making a couple of renders in Autocad.
How do I get useful outdoor as well as indoor renders?
Here's the .dwg

I am quite new to 3D modeling & rendering. I did a simple 3d model of a standing unit, but once i clicked on render, only a black screen appeared.
I did try to put a point light and increase its intensity but the model can barely be seen. I also created a new camera and clicked render but to no avail.

After shelling out a pretty penny for Inventor 2012, my boss set me up with a less-than-adequate off-the-shelf PC. I don't need faster visualizations as I'm not dealing with super complex assemblies, maybe 100-200 parts. I also don't care about ray-tracing while modeling. My problem is it took 24 hours to render a 65 second animation (about 1000 frames).
my boss is going to allow me to build a new, more inventor optimized workstation. I am using studio to do fairly complex animations. Fades, camera changes, constraint animations, all rendered with higher quality. I need a computer that will render quickly, and possibly higher quality if available.
I don't fully understand the whole "Direct X vs OpenGL" stuff. What should I spend my money on, knowing that rendering, not modeling is where I need improvement. I am thinking AMD system to save $$. Also, what to look for, fast bus, cache, etc. Just remember, I need faster RENDERING in STUDIO ANIMATIONS.
