AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawings Zooms Out On Open
Jun 26, 2012I'm running 2013 C3D and have a quirk that my drawings zoom out when I first open the file. I'm not even sure what they are zooming out to as it is not 'Extents'.

Feb 2, 2007When I open a drawing, if I have other drawings open, the drawing I am opening does not come up maximized. I have to drag the edge up to fill the screen.
Is there a setting for having all drawings open up maximized? The first drawing I open always comes up maximized.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Paperspace Viewport Zooms Extents
Jul 10, 2013In paperspace, each time I double click inside the viewport it automatically zooms to the extents of my drawing, changing the scale. Also, when I switch back to model space i am zoomed to extents in model space. How can I fix this?

Jul 8, 2013I am having trouble with the geo marker and the geographic settings. the file given to us has a pre defined grographic location, (which is incorrect) which is making the file zoom out a lot further than desired. I change the geographic location and the position of the geo-marker, but when I use zoom extends, it still zooms all the way out to the undesired distance. There is no "space junk" out that far, so I do not know what else it can be.

AutoCAD .NET :: Save All Open Drawings
Aug 9, 2011I tried the following method to save all drawing currently open. It always fire fill access arror, whereas AutoCAD can save the file wihthout any issue. Here I am checking for drawings that not even saved once and ask the user to take action for those files.
try
{
DocumentCollection docs = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager;
foreach (Document doc in docs)
{
string dname = doc.Name;
string s = doc.Name.Substring(doc.Name.LastIndexOf('\') + 1);

AutoCAD .NET :: Add Block When Other Drawings Are Open
Nov 14, 2011I'm trying to add a block with an attribute to a drawing. The command works if there is only one drawing open, but when there are other open drawings then the block doesn't appear. Strangely if I select the block in the block editor and then close the block editor the block suddenly appears. Do you know what is causing the block to not appear when other drawings are open?
I included the code below. "s1" works but "s2" has the strange behavior of the block not being visible.
[CommandMethod("s1")]
public void AddBlockWithAttributeToDestination_WithNoOtherDrawingsOpen() {
var attributeValue = "1234";
var destination = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
using (var transaction = destination.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) {
addBlock(transaction, destination.Database, attributeValue);
transaction.Commit();

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Of Colour Hatches For Civil Production Drawings?
Oct 23, 2013Just curious as to whether people use much colour in their production drawings, particularly for hatches...?
Working for Local Government, we tend to utilise colour hatches to show all kinds of information.
Generally, we have found that colour hatches are a good way to clearly show different areas and materials such as pavements, paths, landscape areas etc. Hatches can then be used to quickly ascertain areas for estimation and our construction team like them too as the plans tend to be easier to read.
The usual arguments about reproduction of plans and slowing down of computers doesn't seem to be an issue for us. Most photocopiers are in colour now anyway and we just make sure that even in black & white the plans are readable.
The way that Civil 3D deals with hatching doesn't seem to slow things down for us either.
Currently using Civil 3D 2013 & 2014 SP1
AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawings Only Open Read-only?
Jul 17, 2012For 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.

AutoCad :: Lost Ability To Open Drawings?
Apr 5, 2013But, I've lost the ability to open drawings with the traditional "tree" type search.... Something like Windows Explorer. Just before this happened, I had blown up a drawing by, apparently, importing one too many iges files. Got a message that Autocad had an error and was shutting down. Now, when I hit file/open, I get nothing but the command line asking me to enter the drawing path.

Nov 15, 2011Currently when I open up multiple drawings (opening them up one at a time) they all appear in the same window (one instance) of AutoCAD.
I want each drawing to open in separate instances so I can view them on separate monitors (and close one without being asked to close them all).
I have tried changing the SDI system variable from 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2012 Slow To Open And Save Drawings
May 9, 2012Autocad 2012 was working fine until a week ago when it started taking a long time to open drawings--even search for drawings on our network. It also takes at least 30 seconds to save files, where it used to take 5 seconds at most.
I found the AutoCad 2012 and AutoCad LT 2012 SP1 Ribbon Hotfix, which sounded like my problem, but it is for Product Version F.107.0.0 and I have Product Version F.51.0.0.

AutoCAD LT :: Objects In Open Drawings Not Visible In Design Center
Dec 25, 2011Since upgrading to AutoCAD LT 2011 I cannot use the Design Center for inheriting objects such as layers, blocks etc between drawings.
