I used autocad 2010 at my old job but I now use 2012. Now, I keep getting a "bad definition for linetype" error when I try to use linetypes that worked fine at my old job. Someone suggested that I reestablish my support paths but I don't know how to do this.
View 3 RepliesIs there a file I can manually edit to add my support file paths? Just had another crash that lost all of them and don't want to have to manually add them one at a time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am adding tool palettes for our new CAD Standards and would like to set the support paths so the users don't have to.
I will need to set:
Support File Search Path
Dictionary
Plot Style
Color Book
Drawing Template
Sheet Set Template
Tool Palettes

Basically I would like to append the paths for the new items, but not overwrite the variety of existing paths.
So I assume I need to read the current paths, read the new paths and append them to the current paths, then write them as updated paths? This is for about 30 users in 11 different offices and varying cad skills.
I can tweak existing LISP routines, but have never written one from scratch. Is there an "easy" way to accomplish this?
When you start autocad for the first time, it creates a profile with the default support file search paths. Where does AutoCAD get this from?
I want to use this for a tool I am creating.
I have a simple lisp routine that loads everytime one of my users opens a new drawing, It sets the printer paths, sets the template paths and sets a bunch of environment variables
One thing I would like to add to this lisp routine is the ability to add support file search paths.
Is there a simple setenv variable for this? or is it more complicated?
my linetype scales in model space look good, when i go to paper space to print the linetypes are huge and way out of wack. what is my problem?

I have a storm linetype that looks like this"---STM----------STM----------STM---". The STM text within the linetype is reading upside down since it is placed past the 90°mark (i.e. from 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock).
Tried blocking the line out and rotateing.
Tried grouping the line and rotating.
Tried reverse comand.
Tried joining a line to it to trick it into fliping.
Had a project in VSPro X3 SP1 crash over a month and a half ago that was making little sense so contacted Corel Tech support (what a nightmare that was). Surprisingly I got a response that told me the error was related to Quicktime 7.6 and that the development team was aware of the problem and that the TEMP fix was to uninstall quicktime 7.6 and install 7.5. This was all over a month ago and no FIX has surfaced. Contacted tech support again regarding this issue and a possible fix and was told

I am trying to create a linetype with a 3d shape included to represent road markings, i.e. central lines and edges etc.
For this I need a .shx file and I don't know how to create this as I am not allowed to select 3d objects when using the MKSHAPE command.
How can I best create a linetype with 3d objects?
we use a custom treeline for all our drawings and as of late we can not publish this line type. The tree line will plot fine if you plot the individual pages but when you try to publish and plot all the pages as a group, it plots the tree line as a dotted line. I checked the plot styles and it's set to use object linetype. Like I said though it only seems to have this problem when publishing the drawing

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a linetype(actually multible linetyes) for Civil drawings. I need the line type to have the following text..........12" W. I have tried to edit and existing linetype but for some reason the string does not seem to like me using the inch (") symbol. Any proper way to generate this linetype and I should be able to edit it to get all the other line sizes I need.
View 5 Replies View Related2013 has a linetype called "proposed tile" and another one called "existing tile." 2012 doesn't have either. Is there any way I can could get those two files so I could load those two linetypes into 2012?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have my layer set up as dashed linetype for lines. My point style marker is set up as continuous linetype. When I import the survey file it automatically draws the lines correctly, inserts the correct marker, and places them on the correct layer. But the marker is dashed as well and not continuous. Is something overriding this setting?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI Created a profile from existing surface and created a layer called "PRO-EXISTING" and set linetype to "HIDDEN". I also set my standard style to display linetype "BYLAYER" but my dashes are not even like polylines when plinegen is "ON"
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating profiles and I can not get the existing grade linetype to show up as a uniformed dashed line. The layer is set up for a dashed line but the existing profile line is made up of too many nodes to make the linestyle look right.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with surface profiles and the linetype generation is working on some and not the others. They're all dynamic and they're not dref'd in and like I said, a few with the same style look correct and a few are incorrect.

Im trying to make a linetype that is hidden with text in it. Is that possible? Ive got all my linetypes customized with text, but trying to make them on a hidden linetype is tricking me.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and just installed HotFix 3 (so I should be all up to speed). I have created a water linetype (---W---) and telephone linetype (---T---). The problem I am having is the 'W' and 'T' seem to flip at some of the nodes based on if the Polyline is going up or down (from left to right). When it is going up it displays right side up...going down it displays upside down. They are one single polyline with nodes.
I have tried REVERSE, PEDIT then Reverse, my linetype definition is set to U=0.0, but nothing has worked. I have redrawn other polylines and they all have the same issue.
Attached is a PDF of the polylines.
I have a drawing with multiple profiles. We originally had an existing and finished ground surface in the drawing, but decided to use a data shortcut to the surfaces as the design kept changing. We deleted the old surfaces from the drawing, and created the data references, using the same surface names for the new referenced surfaces.
The ground lines show up in the profile, but I can't get it to show the linetype I need for the EG surface (dashed). It doesn't act like a typical profile line - it now shows a lot of PVI points, and plinegen settings have no effect.
I created an alignment from the arcs at my intersections. When I go to the geometry editor under grid view it only shows the first curve.Does c3d support discontinuous alignments? When building edge of pavements at intersections is the workflow to make a new alignment for each intersection?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up pipe styles that have a linetype with text in them. For example ------SFM------. They work fine for straight pipes. However on a curved pipe the text goes all funky. Not only is the text backwards it is also mirrored.
Is there likely something wrong with my linetype definitions or is that normal behavior with civil 3d pipes?
I am using Civil3D 2011 and I am working on 1:1 model space scale. When I go to paperspace and open a scaled viewport, the texts and linetype scales change. What can i o to make them look the same as in model space?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've made a shape (attached image) and am trying to find a way to use it for a linetype. However, I'd like to have the left and right "blocks" filled (hatch or whatever) so that when used repeatetively in a linetype, the filled and open spaces will alternate. I may change it to be only 2 blocks or 4 - haven't decided yet.
I've made linetypes with simple line shapes, but never one like this.
I have exported the 3 polygons through the Map Drafting ribbon --> Export and then brought it back into CAD. This gave me 3 adjacent filled polygons (3 seperate objects) and I don't know how to show it as one shape entity, much less without the middle fill.
Is there another way I can accomplish this without the use of shapes?

If they have addressed the issue of being able to generate feature lines as a continuous linetype, like when you turn on linetype generation in a polyline? I can't find it anywhere and I would have thought this should have been addressed by now! Real basic need for plan creation!
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the sheet profile view the sampled(existing ground) profile for all 3 profiles does not generate the correct linetype(sample 1). The design drawing that I created the individual sheet from displays it correctly (sample 2). The preferences show it is generating(sample 3), it’s just not displaying correctly in the sheet itself.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI started using AuoCAD Civil 3D 2013 on my windows 8. It is crashing a few minutes after opened. When I run it in the mode "Civil 3d as Autocad" everything works ok, but I can only visualise and plot the drawing and move the labels.
First, I thought that I had a problem with my PC so I tried googling this issue, updating my version to SP1 but nothing got fixed. Throught my research on the web It seems that mostly of Windows 8 users are facing problems using Autodesk products on their computers especially whem my co-worker was facing such a similar issue on running both of AutoCAD 2012 and Revit 2013 on his windows 8 and I can not describe how much did we got annoyed for such problem and the circumstances for not able to complete our work tasks using Autodesk products.
The point is how Autodesk is going to give a final solution to Windows 8 incomptability issues. Will be there anything further or it is just Windows 8 users are forced to leave their operating system and back for older one without any incomptaibilty issues like Windows 7?
