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.
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.
I have AutoCAD Architecture 2010. When I launch the program it opens up without any problems. But, when I go to the menu and select "File" then "Open" to open up my CAD files nothing happens. My screen just hangs and the ribbon turns a faint white color. I can't open any of my CAD files from the program. In order to stop CAD from hanging and doing nothing, I press the ESC key and everything is back to normal. I am wondering why CAD will not let me open any of my files from the menu.

Is there way to check if DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) will open the drawing normal or READONLY?
I am having an issue when opening and saving files is very slow when I have a project active in the Project Navigator.
If I have an active project, and I open a file via Project Navigator or Windows Explorer, the process hangs for 15-20+ seconds at the 'Opening C:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ac$' point, where it is creating the temporary file.
If I 'Close the current project' in the project browser and open the same file via Windows Explorer, the process takes less than a second.
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.

So I've got a Construct that is the building model. I also have a View file for my 2D extracted elevations. I've just 'Refreshed' one of the elvations based on some updates I did to the construct model. But when the 2D elevation refreshed, it's surface hatching (roof tiles) scaled itself down considerably. What controls this? I need to have that hatching scale back up and don't know how.
How to get the Axis line on a steel Member (W18) to show when creating 2D Elevation or Section of It. I have been able to create center lines by placing a 3d grid and then changing from No Plot and it creates center lines on the elevation. But all jobs do not require a 3d grid so I would like the axis line form the member to show in the 2d elevation.

I have refreshed the section and have also change to a different 2d style, however if i create a new section, i am able to see the changes on this new section but not on the old one. Is there any switch to this.
View 7 Replies View Relatedwhat the roof elevation property relates to and why? Actually, I know that it is the initial insertion point of the roof baseline, but why doesn't it update with grip edited changes in the elevation of the baseline? See the attached file. The three x-lines converge on 0,0,0. The roof elevation is stated as 0. Obviously that property is meaningless. Considering the importance of roof elevations and making them meaningful, you'd think there would be some rhyme or reason to that property.

So, I extract elevations from my model. No prob. Works perfectly. I then often edit linework to change some linework colors...works fine. However, What if I want to change/edit a Hatch? When I click on 'Edit Linework', the hatch automatically turns off to allow me to edit the linework... Can one edit the Hatching?
Can I use AEC Dimension in a Section/Elevation View in ACA? So, when an Wall height changes, the AEC will change too after refresh the section/elevation.

I'm running Architecture 2013. When creating an elevation object from a 3D model, the hidden lines are not being removed. I've never seen this before, though I have been using Architecture and ADT for years. I've recently upgreaded from 2009 to 2013, and VOILA!

Is it possible to project an elevation drawn in CAD onto a curved wall in Revit?
The pattern of the cladding is very complicated and varies in both directions (curves) so it was easier to draw in in CAD, but I would like to project it on my curved wall in Revit, co that I could calculate the cladding areas accurately.

Whenever I want to pan I get the 'hand'. I click and drag...no prob. However, I want to do a controled pan (to fix a moved elevation in a viewport on a sheet). I want to click a point, and then pan, say, 50' orthogonally. Is this possible?
We'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.
I placed walls at 12'0" elevation as they wereconflicting with walls below (overlap). I can't see them in plan view - In 3D iso view they are visible.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs I continue my learning of AutoCad on the PC after having been a Mac CAD (non-AutoCad) user for 15+ years, another question has cropped up. My boss wants the circular "heads" of the elevation and sectional callouts to be smaller on the finished drawings. How can I control (or override) the default size of these? Or do I need to override on a case by case basis? I've searched these and other forums and what I am getting a sense of is that AutoCad controls those sizes pretty tightly so they remain annotative and AutoCad sets them at the size it thinks they should be and changing that size is not a simple process.

How can you change the rotation on the screen accept to use the rotation command?
The tag itself is referencing a block I went to the block and changed the block now if I go to insert the multi view block it prompts for rotation but not to edit the attribute is there any way to get it to do both?
ACA 2011. I would like to copy the "standard" wall style add a surface hatch and display that in an elevation (exterior) view. I have played around with this and due to many different places to edit the materials.
I have the elevations created. When I go back into the construct and edit the wall style do I have to re-create the elevations to see the hatch? Or I think I just have something set incorrectly in the style.
I am trying to create a property definition that will display the elevation of a space object. I looked through the automatic properties and did not find anything that looked like the elevation.
I have tried the following but was unable to achieve any success.
RESULT="--"
On Error Resume Next
Set AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
Set Obj = AcadApp.Activedocument.Objectidtoobject("[ObjectID]")
RESULT = Obj.elevation
That formula does work if i swap elevation with say height, width,length or any of the properties found in the automatic property list that are a single word. I know the elevation is there I just don't know how to access it.
All of a sudden I notice that when I open a file in Autocad Architecture, it shows the file creation date and not the actual last save date. Only thing I can think of is I reinstalled 3dsmax Design and I wonder if that changed something. I attached a screenshot for reference.

I'm trying to set multiple stations running AutoCAD LT so that they open files as Read-Only by default. Is there a way to do so?
I don't want to touch file permissions.
For some reason, one of our PC's running MEP 2012 has suddenly started to only open drawings in read-only mode. The same drawings will open just fine on other PC's so they / their folders are not set to read-only in windows. The user also has the exact same access rights on the server as the others.
The strangest thing about this is the following warning box that appears on screen. see attached.
For some reason, the alert message which displays the full path of the dwg in question, has it's path modified with a date and time stamp prefixed with a '@' symbol. Needless to say the folder '@GMT-2012.07.17-11.00.04' does not exist. In 18 years of playing with AutoCAD I've never seen this one before.
