AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Properties Window Hidden
Mar 27, 2012
We run 2012 Civil 3D. We recently loaded an application which provides tabs of mutiple open drawings at the top of the page so you can easily switch between drawings.
I typically dock my Object Properties Window on the left side of my window. Once we added the application, I can no longer access my Object Properties window. It is slightly visible within the window where the drawing tabs are. However, it is only 2 -3 lines of the window.
I cannot drag the properties window to another location.
I tried removing the application for the drawing tabs. However, then I cannot access the properties window at all. It says it opens and closes but it is hidden.
I attached a screen shot to try to show the problem. The properties window can be seen in the top left corner.

it sure is useful to be able to get to the rest of the object properties that are there but hidden from property sets.

ADT Window Style Type in a PSD
Filed under: visitmycarfeed, drivemy cars, minicartag, internet — wilhemina947judith @ 5:38 pm
The Window Type for a windows style is not available as an automatic property. So a bit of VBScript is needed. Create a PSD (Property Set Definition) that applies to Windows styles and add the automatic property Handle. Then add the formula below. Notice that [Handle] in the formula must be selected from the “Insert Property Definitions” list. In the code
AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.5.0 refers to ADT 2007. For other versions of ADT change it. ADT 2004 - AecX.AecArchBaseApplication.4

And can open directly the tab page "Design Criteria"?
I would like change some values directly from the window of Civil 3D in this case. I don´t want re-write the database(db) with code.

I use the Map function within Civil 3D 2012 to export municipal GIS data from shp files, for our base plans. One of the clean-up functions is to convert the text exported from GIS to an appropriate text style suitable for the project. To do this, I would select the text, use the select similar command, then update the text style in the properties window. This process has worked well when using Civil 3D 2010 and 2011, however, I have noticed in 2012 the "style" option is not available.
Not sure what I mean, have a look at the two attachments. Notice in the C3D 2012 image, there is no "style" option, while the C3D 2010 image includes the 'style" option. I submitted this bug to our reseller, who was able to replicate this error. Our reseller submitted this to Autodesk, who was also able to replicate this error. What is interesting is if I open the drawing that contains the map exported data from C3D 2012 in either 2010 or 2011 versions, the "style" option is available, just not in 2012. This leads me to believe the issue is not with the data or the export functionality of 2012, the issue is with 2012 displaying the data property. Autodesk has forwarded this issue to their developers, no indication of when or if it will be resolved for Civil 3D 2012.
My workaround for now is to use Civil 3D 2010 for the drawing cleanup functions. Fortunately I am able to have previous versions of Civil 3D installed, since I am on subscription. My advice is when upgrading, do not remove your previous versions if you are on subscription, you may need to use it one day.

Just switched to 2012 from 2010. When I try to edit the description format field in the properties window of a selected cogo point, I can't type in caps, it's all lower case. If I right click and edit the point, I can use capital letters, however. (running C3D 2012 sp4, Win7 64bit, 8GB)

I have created user defiined properties to add up to 5 inverts to a topo point object. Each consists of the direction of the invert as an enumerated list that can be picked from (N, NE, S, SE, etc) and the second is the measured distance from rim down to IE. I created these in order IE1_Dir, IE1_Meas, IE2_Dir, IE2_Meas, etc and the first time I used it everything worked fine and was in the proper order. Now after opening the drawing for a 2nd time all of the UDP's are scrambled making it a bit of a PITA to enter into the proper fields.
I do not see any logical order to why it is displaying this way as if it was in order of creation or alphebetical it would not have changed. Is there any way to correct this or is this a case of Civil 3D is going to do whatever it wants to do?

I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.

Is it possible to select an object for reading in an XRef?
PS I think it has something to do with Editor.SelectNestedEntity() but it is the end of a long day and I can't fathom it out

Running Photoshop CS6 Normal edition (not extended)...
Was running through my preferences and for the first time I cycled through the options using the "Next Key" and found I had a preference panel that had no field descriptor on the left and looks to be for 3D rendering.
Not sure if this applied to my version of Photoshop, if it does, why no descriptor and if it does not why would it be there? The Help file suggests this is for the Extended version of Photoshop.

For the last couple weeks I've been unable to view object properties or quick properties. If I right click on an object and select quick properties, a blank window comes up:
Similarly, if I bring up a properties window and select an object, the selection field remains blank and the object property fields are not populated with information relating to the selected object:

How I can change the sequence in my propertieswindow?
I give in my parameters and wich parameter I put in first comes on top of the properties list. If I delete the parameter that is first on the list and I put it in again it joins the list at the botom.
Now I want to control the sequence of the properties window so I can have it for al blocks the same. that makes it easier to use.
Like in the picture that you can find in the attachment. I want to put elements on top of the list so I can choose The elements (with visibility) first and then I want to put in the width and height.

I have a problem with attribute values. After I insert block inside drawing and see properties window all attributes with its values are there (attributes are not set as constant). When I try to change any information from this properties window, everything looks fine but when I go to block editor and check the attribute values there I see that they has not been changed. When I try to generate/extract this values from the drawing they are still old. Is there any way how to synchronyze this information between properties window and values which are in block editor? Or did I do something wrong?

I'm not able to see the values of attributes in my Properties Palette. When I select the block, I would like to see the associated attributes show up in the "Properties" window; however for some reason they do not.
This happens with all blocks and I checked the constant. I'm thinking it's a Variable but don't know which one.

i have a 2012 version of autrocad and i have a problem with my 3Dobject settings.
when i move my cursor over any object (eg:box) placed in SW iso view,I cannot see the bottom face of box neither the back or right side. The object should become transparent when i move my cursor over it,but instead the object is purely solid.When i want to shell box from bottom it becomes a problem.

While I was first working with CorelDraw13, I tried exporting a file that had a layer that was hidden, but printable. I got a warning/error window notifying my of the problem. In the corner, there was a check box option to not display that warning/error message.
Now, I am trying to get that window to show up again.

I recently started using Maya on Mac OSX, after having always used it on Linux, and I'm really baffled by the child windows behavior (think Hypershade, Graph Editor, Script Editor, etc...)
The shortcut Cmd+~ does switch focus between the windows, but the child windows always stay on top of the main one. That means that if I open one of these, but need to work in the main maya window, I need to click on the minimize button or double-click the title bar (because Cmd+M doesn't work on these!!!), then need to click in the dock to recall them...
Surely I must have missed something, didn't I? Is there a way to ensure the child windows are hidden by the main window when I switch focus using Cmd+~? On Linux I remember we had a way to set the environment variable MAYA_SET_PARENT_HINT to change this. For sure it's possible under OSX, since that's how firefox / safari and other applications work (switching focus between the different child windows correctly manage which one are in the foreground / background)

I'm having a problem with my properties window or floating palette. When I select an object, such as a "line", my properties palette refreshes itself for about 3 seconds. When I hit esc, or deselect the line, it takes another 3 seconds to refresh itself. You can even see the properties palette start at the top and go blank as it travels downward. Very slow process, I can not get anything done. IF I close my properties palette, it does not have the delay, but I can not work without it. When I reboot, it works fine for about 5-6 selections, then jams back up.

In ACLT 2008, I was able to resize the window in the layer properties manager to what was convenient for me. In ACLT 2010, I am unable to change either the size or the position of the window. The same is true of the Design center window. Is this something that is permanently changed, or is there maybe a fix coming to allow this convenience in the future? Or have I missed some system variable which controls this?

I must have hit some combination of keys which altered my interface because Autocad 2013 is acting slighly differently. I can no longer pick Dtext and change its contents directly but must go into the properties tab and change the text through the properties window. When I pick an object my layers scroll windo no longer identifies the objects layer. And when I right click an object I no longer have access to the same set of command that I used to. For example I used to be able to right click an XREF and have the command xclip available but that and other specific commands are no longer available. I am on a deadline and am not able to figure out what is causing this sudden unexpected change in the interface.

how to change the precision display in my properties window; I usually keep it open and docked, and am in the habit of changing many of the properties of a selected item there.
When I pick a drawing feature, the properties window's precision is only set to single digits (ie: highlight text, the text size in the window is displayed as "0" instead of "0.8").
