AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Publishing Image Results In Ugly Visual Artifacts In Image?
Oct 1, 2013
I have installed Infrastructure Design Suite 2014 on one of my users' workstation and one of the several problems she is having I can't find info on anywhere: When she uses the DWG to PDF driver she is getting strange artifacts that, at first glance, look like little blocks randomly placed around her drawings. These are always over/ in viewports. They do NOT show up in plot preview. I tried plot and publish. Both give same results. When zoomed in you can see they are tiny little viewport control dialog boxes that seem to have been placed on the plot at random.

I created a e-mail newsletter for my company and I would like to downsize it and save it for Web (already sliced anything).The problem is, when I got to image -> Imagesize and resize it from 2480x3508 (300dpi) to 760x1075.
But when I do so many shapes I use as a clipping mask looks very "ugly" around the edges.Some icons look pixelated too. How can I save it with the smaller size without losing it's sharpness?

When using the Publish function, LR sometimes publishes a number of photos with no problem, sometimes only the first one, sometimes it publishes but says the operation failed, and sometimes it behaves like mission accomplished when nothing published at all!

I am updating my CUI ribbon for some of my customized buttons. I have changed some of the bitmap images that I have saved in my network folder for the network AutoCAD customization. However, I cannot get the Ribbon to update to show the new button images.
I have opened the CUI, browsed down to the partial CUI for our corporate configuration, then to the "Ribbon", then to the "Tabs", then to the individual section of the tab and clicked on it. Then I click on the specific button in the "Panel Preview" pane to get the properties for that button to show. Then at the bottom of the "Properties" panel, I click on the "Small Image" line to see the three dots that allow you to browse to where the .bmp is stored. I have not renamed the bitmaps, but just modified their color and the way they look. So I have to change the .bmp file to a different location in the small image properties, then change it back to the correct image name. It will update the appearance in the "Panel Preview", but will not update the actual ribbon. I click on "Apply" and "OK", and it still doesn't update the actual ribbon. I have tried closing and restarting AutoCAD after that. As a last resort, I rebooted to see if that would complete the change, but in vain.
I made sure that the network location for the bitmap files is listed in my Options > Support File Search Path (very near the top of the support file list), but that still isn't solving the problem.
How to get AutoCAD to completely forget the old image that is showing on the ribbon and repopulate it with the updated bitmap image?

I sent my PSD file to a publishing company and they sent me this reply:
"The PSD file is close. It is missing the fonts and is in RGB format. Both will need to be corrected in order to produce the magnet. I can't tell the PMS colors from the file (RGB issue) and the fonts (text) was not converted to outlines. Someone on your end really should do these fixes. We would be guessing. Other than that, it looks good. The image looks just like your JPEG copy. The text may not look right to you either but that is the font issue. Someone just needs to call out what font they are using. The exact font."
How the heck do I save my file in PMS color? And what outlines or 'call out' font are they talking about?

Is there an easy way to publish an image to FB's Wall, vs. creating or adding to a current album? Is there a special setting hiding somewhere in the Publish section?

I've recently discovered that when using the Merge to HDR function the resulting image is 72 dpi as opposed to the 240dpi of the original files used to create the 32 bit image. I've tried using both psd and RAW files with the same result. Others have confirmed this does not happen on the Mac version of CS3. I am using CS2 but others in a class I am taking have experienced similar problems with CS3 running on Windows. I'm running XP Pro which has been kept up to date. CS2 also has all updates installed.
Apparently, PS is also resizing the image to a relatively huge document size in the process of converting my bracketed images to HDR while retaining the correct pixel dimensions. The work around is to uncheck the "Resample Image" box within the "Image Size" dialog window after conversion so as to restore a 240 dpi resolution but this adds yet another step to the workflow.

I am using Photoshop Elements 4.0 to add color to some images that were hand drawn and have been scanned in as pdf's. When done, they will be enlarged to poster size (18 in x 24 in). I have tried to save them in a variety of formats, but every time I do, they come out very pixelated when they print in poster size. (The originals look fine in the larger size.) how to maintain the image quality so they will look decent when they are enlarged to print?

When using image trace in CS6, illustrator seems to be shifting the results. Is there anyway to prevent this. I have several images that I am tracing along with other vector elements that need to stay in alignment with each other.
The Blue is the location of the original image and the black is the tracing result. I'm seeing this shift in each of the view modes and regardless of which preset I use. I've also tried leaving the image linked and embedding the image with no difference.
In addition, I am having a hard time getting black and white images to trace to the same quality I had in CS4. As you can see I'm getting pinched sections on lines even with a Path setting of 97-100% and Noise of 1 px. I also tried a path setting of as low as 20%, the pinching of the lines was gone, but it was so over generalized that I lost a lot of the other character.
In CS4 I was able to use path fitting 2px Min area 10px corner angle 20 and get this much better result
the white hole is preserved, there is no pinching of the line. I keep reading how the new image trace is supposed to be so much better, but I can't seem to find any evidence of it in a simple a black and white image.

I was trying to resize some images to 1080 x 1920 (tiff) using Image Processor but the resulting images came out as 1080 x 1620 and the filesize appears to have remained unchanged. Similarly, another time 720 x 576 came out as 720 x 540.

I'm working on pdf image files, 300 dpi, and I want to use the Image Trace tool to vectorized these ones. The result has to be under 4 colors, and the file is a mozaic of photos calibrated 3mm x 3mm.
The purpose is to vectorize the whole image ( composed with approximately 800 photos )I did different tests with the settings of the Image Trace tool with samples of 12 x 12 mm ( 4 photos x 4 photos ) and the result is correct. But when I try to do the same with the entire image, the result is just horrible The entire image is sized 200 mm height and 130 mm width, but the import format is exactly the same than the samlpes I made my presets on.
I was thinking that Illustrator should act the same with the full image than with the small one, it just took more time to calculate the rendering, but apparently not.

I am creating my files in 5x. The final product will be a printed 8.5 x 11 calendar. The company requires 300dpi resolution, and a bleed size of 1/16".
Product 8.5" x 11" Calendar
Final Size 8.5" x 11"
Bleed Size 1/16"
Resolution to Submit 8.627" x 11.127", 2588 x 3338 px, 300dpi
My page is letter size.The image is a bitmap composed of numerous photographs and vector graphics.
I have saved them to a CMYK BITMAP 300DPI.In Corel the image reads as 11.125" x 8.625"
When I export to a pdf or jpg the image size changes to 11.293" x 8.796" which will not work for the printer. It sets the design elements outside the 'safe zone'.

I've been transferring a lot of old vidoes from analog tape to digital video. All video files have been created as H.264 640x480 mp4 with Elgato Video Capture. And all video-files display fine in, VLC, Media Player Classic, Quicktime and even iMovie. Some of these import fine into Premiere CS5.5 without problem, but some end up looking green, distorted and doubled, like this:
I've tried to Interpret Footage on the broken clips, setting the framerate to a constant like 25fps. But this seems to have no effect.When I try to import the same file into After Effects CS5.5, I get this error: after effects error: overflow converting ratio denominators 17::18..I've crosschecked two video files against each other to find some differences, but there is none, as far as I can see.

I wrote a lisp, that grabs all text and assigns it a variable. Here's what it looks like:
(setq numbers (ssget "_X" (list (cons 0 "TEXT") (cons 1 "*")) ))
(sslength numbers)
(setq numb1(ssname numbers 0))
(setq enlist1 (entget numb1))
(setq texty (fix (caddr(assoc 10 enlist1))))
(setq value1 (cdr(assoc 1 enlist1)))
In this case length returns a value of 20. I can repeat this command 20 times and have all these variables but I don't think that is the best way. I do need the "y" value insertion point of the text. Line numbers are very important with what I do.In the end what I want to do is
1. sort through how ever many values sslength returns.
2. compare a blocks attribute "y" value insertion point with that of all the text values.
3. If both y values are equal then that blocks "tag name" will be changed.
Here is what I am doing on the block end with for reference:
(if (= texty fuwhole)
(setq funum1 (subst (cons 1 (strcat "FU" value1)) (assoc 1 funum1) funum1))
(entmod funum1)
)
fuwhole is the blocks "y" value insertion point.
funum1 is the blocks dxf group code

There is a command in autocad that will get a Bounded Volume from a closed polyline and a volume surface (command "AeccReportSurfBoundedVolume"). It reports the results to the screen. How to get the "Net Volume" results in to a variable using Lisp?
Maybe a lisp routine that gets information from the text screen. That would not be ideal but I could work with that.

The lisp routine displays point values of a boundry (window) of an object using the vla_getBoundingBox.
The concept of the routine is to select any object and return two Point window value.
This routine works, but I noticed the Z point is changing depending on the object type drawn in 2d space elevation 0.0.
Test: Open a new drawing. Set the snap value to 1.0 just to make is easy to see values.
Draw three objects: A horizonal line, A Rectangle and Arc.
Load the gbb.lsp and run it, gbb
Select all three objects and notice the results.
It appears that objects the have an curve change the Z value (very little), but Z should be zero.
Try it with a polyline and then PEdit and FIT and re-check the Z value.

how to work with safearrays so that I can modify a dynamic block property reporting tool that I found here on the forums. I’d like to take the following code and filter out the extraneous properties so that the user doesn’t get information overload. Here’s the code that I'm starting with – works nicely:
(defun c:dbinfo (/ obj v vval sal salnth count)
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "
Select Dynamic Block: "))))
(setq v (vla-getdynamicblockproperties obj))
(setq vval (vlax-variant-value v))
[code]....
So, how do I filter the safearray list (down two levels to property names) so I can remove origins and other unimportant properties? Here’s the two property names I am trying to filter out:
(or (= (car y) "Origin") (= (substr (car y) 1 8) "Position"))
I’m beating my head against the wall trying to figure out how to take sal and redefine it like:
(/= (or (= (car y) "Origin") (= (substr (car y) 1 8) "Position")))
Of course, that doesn't work with a safearray.

I just started using CS6, jumping from CS3. A major tool I use is Live Trace, and I have custom settings for that. I cannot find a way to make Image Trace behave the way Live Trace did for black and white line drawings. The results I get in CS6 are far inferior to those I got in CS3 in terms of retaining the look of the original raster image. Otherwise, I will have to leave CS3 installed just to do my Live Trace.
Here is a sample of what I mean. You can see the quality degredation in CS6 compared to CS3. (And it's much more obvious when it's full size and full resolution.)
My settings used in Live Trace (CS3) were:
The settings I tried in CS6 that gave the above result were:

We used a block which contains deisel expressions for our plot stamp. When we publish through the sheet set manager it shows a temp folder where the drawings are spooled to instead of the actual drawing saved path. We can fix this buy turning off background plotting when we publish, but I was wondering if there is a way to show the saved path instead of the spoolled path when publishing in the background.
Below is the expression found in our plot stamp block.
$(GETVAR, "dwgprefix")$(getvar, "dwgname")$(edtime, 0, M/DD/YYYY H:MM:SS AM/PM), $(getvar, loginname)

Run TIME command and then take the resulting text and save it to a file.
Ideally, the text file should be named based on the drawing name. I know there's ways to write text to a file but I haven't had any luck taking the output of a command and exporting it.

When I plot a single tab the frozen layers in the viewport do not plot, which is correct. But when I publish the same tabs the frozen layers in the viewports all plot.

I performed an analysis on a system, but when I play the video some of the pipe segments the water line jumps back and forth angling in different directions. Some of the pipes get full and then the water line just drops down to the bottom. I also cannot get the pipes to drain at the end, I tried running the analysis for a long time span and it just sits at the point that it wants.

noticed that the file size of pdf's created using the publish command in C3D 2014 are much larger than files created using 2013? I'm talking twice the size in some cases. I've gone through the settings and found no differences, but there must be something I'm missing. When I use the plot command on a single layout, the file sizes are similar, so there must be something in the publish command.

I inserted an image into my AC drawing. I’m doing a drawing in 3D starting from this image, using solids and regions. When the visual style is set to Realistic I can see the image but when I change to X-Ray all I can see is black and white points instead of the image.
See attached file
Funny thing is that yesterday it was working perfectly, meaning I could see the image in X-Ray mode, but today it doesn’t work! I don’t understand.
I have already made a new drawing, check with other images formats, and it doesn’t work
