this is the message I get when trying to save, One or more objects in this drawing cannot be saved to the specific format.
The operation was not completed and no file was created. I was able to save at lunch and now its not a happy camper.
How to save my workspace and load onto another machine? Both systems are running AutoCad 2011 and may soon change to 2012.
I figured out how to customize the ribbon and panels, and I even customized my shortcut menus. I then created my Workspace and "Saved As". Now how do I get this workspace loaded onto my Laptop with a seperate AutoCad License?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a DXF file in Autocad LT which I need to import into a CAD Reader for a CNC machine. The cad reader can only view a 2D image of the TOP of the part. The problem is that the view I want the cad reader to see is the RIGHT hand side view in Autocad. Is it possible to reassign the views in Autocad LT 2008 so that the right hand side view become the top view therefore allowing the cad reader to see the correct side.

I am trying to figure out how to get autocad2014 and our company's cnc machine to communicate.
The machine uses Solid Ultimate with Screen-to-machine software.
From what ive gathered, I can save my drawing as a R12, R13, R14 version dxf file, which is what is needed for the two programs to talk to each other. The problem is, when i save the dxf file, it saves paper space, not model space. Therefore, all that comes into the cnc program is a titleblock or whatever else I had on the page in paper space.
The cnc program doesnt pick up viewports either.
I need a way to save model space as dxf.
I have one user on a Win 7 64-bit machine running 64-bit Autocad / ACA. I have written a routine that references the ACSMCOMPONENT library and I get an error that says the system can't find that library file. I have attached a screen shot for review.
All of my other machine are Windows XP and the .DLL that I wrote is located locally withe the ACSMCOMPONENT.dll in the same directory.
I have done some research and have concluded that I need a 64-bit version of the ACSMCOMPONENT.dll and I don't know where to get it or how to create it if possible.
These will be family table parts and assemblies but just to keep it simple for now lets look at non family table parts and assemblies.The attachment is a drawing of a casting, a machine part that is made from the casting and an assembly that uses the machine part.
The casting will have a drawing that has no BOM.The machine part will have a drawing that has a BOM that calls out the casting.The assembly will have a drawing that has a BOM that calls out the machine part.
In the models:
I would like to have an assembly and a machine part the is linked to the casting part so if the casting part changes the machine part and the assembly changes.
In the drawings:
I would like to be able to use existing iproperties or user defined ones and use one parts list style so I can create a drawing of the casting, create a drawing of the machine part where the bom calls out the casting description and part number and a drawing of the assembly that calls out the machine description and part number.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently drawing some roof tiles for a house in 3d. I moved the tiles to another drawing so i could get my machine to focus on the tiles rather than walls, windows, doors etc. My machine is still lagging hectically. Basically i would like to know is there a way i can perhaps make the roof tiles file smaller or a "block" of it so that my machine can run properly and i can import it into the drawing with the rest of the house. The roof tiles drawing is 40.3mb big. My machine isn't inadequate-hopefully.
I am on a mac running vmware fusion with windows 7 32-bit and when opening editing the roof tiles file my cpu % spikes to roughly 70% then backs quickly down to 50% and will not increase with Autocad not responding-leave it for a bit and it loads but lags a bit when i orbit, copy or whateva then back to not responding.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi am trying to use autocad to nest parts for cutting on a cnc machine. is there any way to make a 2d part have a projected boundary of say .5 inches larger than the part so another part cannot nest closer than that. after the nesting is done, the boundary would be removed. the parts are different sizes and shapes so the projected boundary would have to enclose the part.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to cut some flat veneer using a laser machine, like making a jigsaw puzzle. The laser operator needs a drawing in the .dwg format.I will be drawing a 2d shape using a photograph in the background to copy.
I need to make the shape cut up into sections so I can assign a different bitmap to each section, at least for the design part of it. Since I'm more familiar with Max it'd be easier to do the design work there and export the file.
What I need is to make 2 or more closed spline objects that share adjacent lines so that each section has a surface that can accept an individual bitmap.

Lisp program/macro or what ever is needed to be able to set a save reminder.
What i mean is, i want something to popup while i'm using autocad to remind me that i have not saved the drawing for a while. i know there is the autosave but that drives me crazy and quite ofter interrupts my train of thought/process and also more often then not causes autocad to chash/hang for rediculas amount of time. 12d model has such a thing as what i'm asking so i know that it is not impossible to do it.
So what i want is simply a dialog box to popup somewhere easily visible with a simple "ok" to save or "Cancel" not to save. It MUST NOT interrupt anything that i'm doing (like autosave does) it must just popup somewhere on the screen. And also have the ability to be able to set the reminder time.
I am running AutoCAD 2013 on Windows 7 on a virtual machine (Fusion) on my mac (Macbook Pro (late 2008), OS 10.6.8, 2.53 GHz, 8GB Ram.
I want to delete Fusion from my machine and use Bootcamp to run AutoCAD instead. Before I delete my virtual Windows machine and uninstall Fusion, I want to make sure that I have a copy of all supporting files for AutoCAD so that when I reinstall it in Bootcamp, I can restore all present functionality.
I am not very knowledgeable about AutoCAD or PCs in general, so I don't know what I don't know. In other words, I know that there are files that AutoCAD uses that I have created knowlingly or not that are important to be reinstalled so that the program continues to work how I am used to, but I don't know what all these files are, or where they are stored. The most obvious example are .ctb files that I have created over the past several years that have moved automatically with each upgrade. There are surely other aspects of customization that exist in files kept somewhere, that AutoCAD references, but again, I don't know where all such files are kept.
Any best method for gathering all such files so that I can copy them to a thumbdrive and then reinstall in Bootcamp, once I've re-installed AutoCAD?
create a G-code from an AutoCAD desktop 3D model of a 1911 pistal grip saved as a DXF file. I have a CNC 6040 3 axis routing machine. I have tried to load the DXF file as an import but the file is not recognized by the Mach3 software.
I have downloaded a lisp comand for my AutoiCAD program which is supposed to generate a G-code within Autocad but It doesnt recongnized some 3D elements. I am having a dificult time getting the generater to read a "mesh" 3D form to generate a G-code. I hope this doesnt sound all too confusing... the bottom line is I cant seem to get a G-code out of a 3D CAD form....way to generate smoothly a G-code from an AutoCAD 3D form?

Civil 3D 2012 SP 3
Dell Precision T7400, Xeon CPU 3.16 GHz
Win 7 Pro, 64-bit,12 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX 4600
I'm running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 on Windows 7 Professional. I just got this new computer and the AutoCAD software was recently installed. As I always do when I get a new version of ACAD, I set up my Profile settings within the 'options' menu and save to my personal Profile, and set that profile as current.
Then I pull up all my typical toolbars, Layer manager, Xref manager and all that good stuff to my workspace and save a new workspace with my name, and set that workspace as current.
Now, with this new version of ACAD, every time I restart the program my settings are all gone. Even though my 'options' Profile is still saved in there, it's not set to current, so I have to do that every time. As well as my workspace, which doesn't appear the same way I set it up and saved it as a new workspace:
The ToolSpace, the command bar and the Xref manager disappears every time.
