AutoCAD Inventor :: Revert Back To Standard Setup Or BOM Setup From Scratch?
Jun 7, 2013In our drawing office we use Inventor in a mining materials handling environment. Our output is mainly structural drawings where we require a bill of materials as part of creating a drawing. Whenever I insert a BOM in the drawing environment I get this table which is labeled in a foreign language (it looks like an Eastern European language) and the format is not as per the standard Autodesk installation setup.
How do I either revert back to the standard setup or do a BOM setup from scratch?
We use IV 2013 Professional on Windows 7 64 bit.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Scale Setup - What Is Units
Nov 3, 2013how the scales and printing works.
first i am working in meters .meters is choosen under the drawing settings tab .i am trying to test print at 1:1 a rectangle with 0.2 meters side that normaly will fit in a A4 sheet since the A4 is 0.21x0.297 METERS .
in the print dialogue i set the 1"mm" = 0.001 "units". the result is an image multiplied by 1000...arent the " units " METERS? METERS is what i use in the drawing so why i get a biger image?
if i set 1"mm"= 1 "unit" and NOT 0.001 i get correct 1:1 print .
what i am missing? c3d wants me to give 1mm=1meter?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Template Drawing Setup?
Oct 17, 2013I have a 2011 template drawing that I've added all the information to that I know about how to survey in C3D. I've used it for a few years now and it works great for us. We now have to update it for used in 2014. IT has told me that I need to create a new 2014 drawing and bring the 2011 styles, groups, etc. into it that way. I used the management import tool to do this in 2014. Seems like all the styles, etc. came over just fine. Any way to test whether or not the template drawing has any garbage in it, such as purging and auditing, so all the bad stuff is gone? C3D - 2014

Oct 2, 2013at work we use custom paper sizes. We use HP Designjet 500 ploter and paper rolls of sizes 420, 610 and 910 mm. So I have made layout for all sizes: 410x 420, 600x610 and 900x910 mm. To share files between computers we use TortoiseSVN. But leaving for long time all sizes gets bad (page_ setup_ manager. png). Size from 410x420 becomes 409,96x419,95 mm. The same becomes in plot window too (plot.png). And to plot in right paper sizes we need to edit plot paper size again if not drawing is ploted in bad paper size (custom_paper_size.png). Is here a way to permanently bind good paper size to drawing?

Sep 26, 2012is there a way to set up the profile so it is anchored to horizontal geometry from certain point. that way when i change the alignment in the middle it won't cause profile to be shifted because station changes (length changed) while the vpi stations stay the same as before.
i can make a program in .net to specify a station and move all the vpi station by that amount which can be obtained easily by taking the length before you modify minus length after you modify.
Pretty common problem. it's not that hard to do in really the logic is defined. i have this alignment that's 60km long that's only one portion. hecka lots of horzontal curve and vertical curves. over 100.

AutoCAD LT :: PDF Printing Page Setup
Dec 18, 2013I'm trying to find a setting which allows me to produce pdf copies of AC LT 2014 layouts that do not require rotation to view them in Adobe.
I've searched all through the pdf settings and still I have to rotate the pdf counterclockwise to view it in its correct orientation.
There's a setting which works for MS Office documents in the pdf options section but when this is applied in ACAD it doesn't work and I still have to rotate the view.
AutoCAD LT :: New Page Setup Will Not Save
Dec 17, 2013I am trying, in vane, to batch plot multiple dwg files to pdf's.
I have a pdf reader/writer (Bluebeam Extreme), but the plugin will not work (I have sent an email to Bluebeam to see if hey can sort it out).
So, I tried using the batchplot, but kept getting stuck when I had added multiple dwg's, using Publish, and then tried to change the page setup by right-clicking the files. The new page setup I had just created wass not available, apart from the dwg I created it in.
I hadn't notcied until now, as I usually use the Previous Plot dropdown when plotting, but whenever I create a new Page Setup, it is no longer in the dropdown combo box whenever I open up a new file, or even in the file I created it in if I close it down and reopen.
I am using AutoCAD LT 2010 with Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Setup Table As Template?
Feb 11, 2013I'm trying to setup a table as a template (just in model space) that can be copied and reused several times. I've formatted it how I want it to look and would like to try and copy cells from an excel sheet, keeping the format of the Autocad table. But every time I do it resets the format, font and color. Even when I select the cell and change the color of text in the properties palette, it doesn't change back again? Only when I highlight the actual text and change it in the text editor does it change color. I've even tried locking the format before pasting the excel data. (paste special - autocad entities)
I dont want to change the format in excel as it is auto generated as plain text.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Setup Scale Of Drawing
May 3, 2013How to setup the scale of drawing.
Luckily, I found an CAD template that already have scaled text and dimension size setup. now, I have to set different scale in the model space according on which scale i wanna plot on view port.
but for annotative scale, what scale should i use in model space? Overall, I just want all my text to be in same size when print out and in a readable size.

AutoCad 2D :: Right-Click Setup Customization
Aug 27, 2012So when using C3D, I have my right-click setup so that when I click on an object, say a multi-leader, surface, etc, a long menu pops up with object-specific options. Such as multi-leader styles and scales, pipe network options, etc.
So today, AutoCAD decided to be lazy and not show that menu. I've tried turning off the R-C customization, then turning it back on, switching the custom options around, applying, then setting them back to the way I had them, starting a new drawing, restarting CADD, and finally restarting my computer. NOTHING.
This has happened to me several times in the past and it just starts working properly again at some point. To draft, modifying C3D objects, without the r-c menu is such a time consuming PITA.
AutoCad 2D :: How To Setup Custom Palettes
Jan 18, 2013I am trying to setup some palettes to use at work and am using blocks to do so.

However, if I have deleted the blocks from the file, the blocks in the paletette will not work. Is this normal or is there something deeper?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Page Setup Not Selectable?
Oct 5, 2012Not sure what causes a page setup already created and previously used to not be able to be selected at a later time. When selecting it, it reverts back to <none>. Does this mean the plotter changed/is not available? The network name for the plotter did not change, but the model of the plotter changed slightly. I have the same setup saved in 100's of drawings and assumed that as long as the network name for the plotter remained the same, the setup would continue to work.

Jul 18, 2012I just gave one of my drafters a new PC with AutoCAD 2013 and 2012 on it. We migrated the settings from her old pc with with 2012 to the new PC. All settings are correct except for the plotter. She had custom page setup that was used on all her drawings and that did not transfer. We setup a new one with the same settings but that requires us to reapply to every drawing.
Isn't there an easy way to do transfer these settings? If we choose the page setup most of the time it just goes back to none and a lot of the time it isn't even an option.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Page Setup For All New DWG Files?
Mar 18, 2012How to fix the “page setup” for all "new" dwg files?
I couldn’t know how we could customize the default plot dialogue settings that the AutoCAD provides as we click the “Plot” command.
For example, each time I start with a new dwg file and click “plot” then I got some default settings.
Then how the settings of the “plot” command can be customized such that as we start with a new dwg file then the customized settings appear?

Also, I'm pretty sure its not possible but ill ask anyway, is it possible to know who modify those library and when?
