AutoCAD Architecture :: Disappearing Open Drawing Browser Box

Oct 4, 2011

I'm not sure what happened but all of a sudden when I try to open an existing drawing it no longer pops up a box to browse, it asks me in my command bar at the bottom to type in the name of the drawing. The same thing happens when I try to "save as" a drawing... How to get this back to normal?

I have attached a Jpg of both instances...

AutoCAD Architecture :: Macro To Redefine F1 Key

Jul 15, 2013

I created a temporary override key in the CUI and assigned a new command to F1. Used to (in other versions of autocad), all was well and it worked great. But for some reason it still invokes the Help command.

When I press the F1 key, my goal is to toggle osnap and ortho at the same time. It does do this, but it also brings up the stupid help menu.

Here is the macro I am using for the override:

^P'_.osmode $M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,osmode),16384),$(-,$(getvar,osmode),16384),$(+,$(getvar,osmode),16384))
^P'_.orthomode $M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,orthomode),1),$(-,$(getvar,orthomode),1),$(+,$(getvar,orthomode),1))

AutoCAD LT :: Bedit Current Drawing Macro

Aug 8, 2012

I am trying to write a quick macro to open the current drawing in the block editor.  I can easily do the steps from the dialog box to open the current drawing, but the command line version give me an error.

Command: -bedit
Enter block name or [?]: <current drawing>

 (A message box pops up saying, "The name cannot be longer than 255 characters."

If I click ok on the message box, AutoCAD returns to model space.  The file name is 30 +/- characters, and the path is maybe another 50 to 100 characters.  Can I bedit the current drawing using the command line, or must I use the dialog box?

LT, C3D 2005 - 2014
XP, Vista, 7

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Use Macro To Set All System Variables In Drawing

Jan 29, 2013

When I create a new dwg, I use a macro to set all the system variables in the drawing - ltscale, hatch scale, etc. I also use the setq function and define a few new "variables" in the drawing. For instance I use setq to define a variable I call "sf" and set it equal to 72. Everything works great and I do my work and close the drawing. Next time I open the drawing, all my custom variables no longer exist. I have to use redefine them all over again. Is there a way to get these custom variables that I create with setq to stick with the drawing permanently - so I do not have to redefine them every time I close/open the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Ilogic Or Macro To Automate Drawing Creation Of IAssembly Members

Nov 6, 2012

I have an iassembly which contains around 500 different members.  There aren't any major differences between the members other than parts being Included/Excluded and parts being replaced by similar parts (this can all be done in the table as the parts are all created as one ipart family).

I need an assembly drawing for every member.  As the drawings will be very similar, it is possible to just create one drawings then use 'Save as' and 'replace model reference' to create the whole lot.  As this process would be very tedious and time consuming, I want to create a ilogic program or a VB macro to automate this process.

Basically i need a program that will...

FOR every line in the table (say 1 to 500)...

look at the currently active drawing...

replace model reference (for 2 views and a parts list) with the appropriate member (whos file name will match it's Part Number)...

save as with a file name that matches the current rows Part Number...

END when all of the members are complete.

I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.

Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?

1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.

2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

CorelDRAW X4 :: Write A Macro To Open To Specified Directory

Nov 13, 2013

trying to write a macro to open to a specified directory.

SendKeys "^(o)"
SendKeys "\G-SERVERCorel Draw files
SendKeys"{ENTER}"

Problem is that it doesn't type the text exactly as given. Randomly drops off the first few characters.Because hitting open defaults to the libraries instead of my server where the files are located.

When you hit open the cursor is already in the "File name:" field so if I just type the directory there and hit enter it takes me to that directory. Sure would be nice to just have it type that for me and enter. Had it working great for a few times but aftaerr navigating around for a bit it drops off those characters.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Make Macro Window Open On Specified Monitor?

Dec 29, 2012

now that i am weeding myself off of my Intuous and using my Cintique as my mouse-source for both of my monitors, it is more important to have my macro (and other CorelDraw windows) open on my second monitor (where CorelDraw is).

presently, i have Ultramon to force-open Coreldraw onto my second monitor; but when i open a macro window (such as Select Same), it opens on my primary monitor.

is there a setting to change this?  or (shiver) a line of code to add to the macro itself?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Get Sheet Set Manager To Open Up Each Time Open Drawing?

Jan 7, 2013

How do I get my Sheet Set Manager to open up each time I open a CAD drawing? I turned it off and can't remember how to turn it back on. I use command SSautoopen, set to 1 but doesn't alway work. Sometimes if I close AutoCad and reopen it I can got to drop down menu and click on .dst extension and it will open but if I close out of it it won't open again unless I restart AutoCAD. I thought I used a command from the Express Tool menu but can't find it.

AutoCad :: Can't Close A Drawing Either Without Exiting / Try To Open Another Drawing

Nov 10, 2011

I downloaded multi-batch as someone here said they like it for batch plotting. Once installed, however, it has changed a setting in AutoCAD. I can no longer open more than one drawing at a time. If I have a drawing open and try to open another drawing it asks me if I want to save the current open drawing.

I can not close a drawing either without exiting AutoCAD or trying to open another drawing. I un-installed multi-batch but it did not fix the problem.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Don't Open A Dialog Box

Mar 18, 2011

I installed architecture 2011 last night.  When I installed it, it did not remove my 2008 verison.  So all my files are still opening the 2008 verison.  I do not have much space on my hard drive, so if I uninstall 2008, will there be a problem with 2011?

Is there any reason to keep the 2008 version?

Second problem: in 2011, I click on the open button and it does not open a dialog box.  It only gives me a line in the command line. same thing happens when I try to save as.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Can't Open DWG File From Email

May 18, 2011

I had received a DWG file from my associate through e-mail which she had saved from AutoCAD as a 2007 year format.

I have AutoCAD Architecture 2011 and should be able to open any DWG file, correct? But I can't seem to. When I try to open it, a message pops up that says, "Drawing file is not valid". I have gone into the file properties and I have full accessibility to the file and the "read only" option is unchecked.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Can't Open Particular DWG File - Out Of Memory

May 10, 2012

I've recieved a drawing from a customer and i'm unable to load it. When I open it, it asks to be recovered because of a damaged file. I hit the recover button and starts to load the file but after a while comes up with an error saying "FATAL ERROR: Out of memory - shutting down." Is the file just corrupted? My memory isn't even being used. Specs are i7-2600 3.40 ghz, 16gb ram and sli nvidia 570 gtx cards. 

I've also tried the recover command, but it did the same thing.

There was a second drawing they sent me too, but it comes up with a fatal error 0x0050. I've attached both drawings.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Dynamic Block In Drawing

May 10, 2013

dynamic block in a drawing - when i make a change in the block editor, it doesn`t apply in the model space although i save all the changes. There is also another dynamic block and this time everything is working properly  - all the saved changes appear in the model space. The only difference between the two blocks is that the first one has attributes. I think attributes should not be the reason for not applying changes, but i just don't know.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Converting Drawing To PDF File

Nov 11, 2011

If I use the CAD 'Plot Stamp' while converting a drawing to a PDF file (DWG to PDF), everything works as it should.

If I try to print it out on paper, it doesn’t work at all, even though it looks ok in the preview (however, if while in the preview, I try to zoom in on the Plot Stamp to see what's actually written, it disappears). Instead of being 'BR vertical' it's 'BR horizontal', It prints mostly out of the printable area and the text is a smaller size than specified.

What's the best way to get a high quality PDF from a DWG?We find the quality from the 'DWG to PDF' printer to be a bit disappointing. If we 'Publish to PDF' from a 'Sheet Set', it's a bit better...
