I have noticed on my drawings that have a hatch transparency (does not matter the percentage), that in CAD everything is fine, but as soon as I plot to pdf, the pdf image will have a lot of streaking in the transparency(there is no streaking in the preview window).
No matter the transparency or colour, the streaking remains very obvious. Some functionality I am missing?
I have a user that is getting what appears to be streaks on his drawings.
The video card has the latest driver.
I ask how often this happens and he states:
Almost every time I have a large 3d drawing ..or multi 3d drawings open (which is often the case)
This has been occuring since installing 2013 and it's not just on my computer, our other drafter has the same issue. Once it happens on one drawing it effects all open drawings and the only thing I have been able to do to get rid of it is to close out all drawings and restart AutoCAD. Attached is a screen shot since its' hard to describe.

I’m not sure if there is a way to automatically renumber the sheets in sequential order in case of re-sorting the sheets. This might occur very often during the work!
For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to re-numbering the sheets AUTOMATICALLY such that the numbers of the sheets starts from 1 to 6.
Then how to automatically re-number the sheets in sequential order automatically?

I tried opening in Photoshop and a different error occurs. I avoid PS as much as humanly possible and have not used it since acquiring the D4. BUT as I recall it shares this module with Lightroom so this message is unexpected as LR has no problem with all the other D4 images.

Two main questions:
1. What do the two LR messages usually mean?
2. Does the CS5 message look like a separate problem . If so why does the camera raw module work in LR?
When trying to open, then immediately the error occurs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making an image smaller (from 1200 pixels wide to 700), and no matter what I try it always turns out pixelated. I hate it! I just want the size of the image to get smaller without compromising the quality of said image. Here's what I've tried:
- Saving to different formats before resizing (TIF, PNG, etc)
- Changing the X and Y resolution from 150, to 300, even 900 before resizing. It seems to have no effect.
- Changing the interpolation from cubic to the others (the others ones all look worse)
I am at a loss! I am using "image/scale image" to resize, by the way. And the original image was a 1200-wide TIF. I don't see why I'm not able to increase the number of pixels while making the image smaller to maintain the integrity of the original image.

I want to create a Layer Filter that excludes both Civil Layers and Xrefs.
I have created one that excludes Civil objects (Excel Civil.jpg) but when I add a filter for excluding xrefs as well the Civil objects appear in the filter again indeed all the layers are included again (Excel Xref.jpg) if I invert the filter nothing is displayed.
Is it possible to export created surface from civil to revit architecture? If yes , How? And if its not possible - maybe i can somehow import cogo points to revit?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to work on a previous file in my office, and when it opens on mycomputer, it does not display as it should.
In general, the purpose of the project is to reinstate the side slopes of a road abutting a river. Cut & fill sections have been generated on 20m station increments along the road corridor/surfaces in order to calulate cut and fill as well as to reference the design to flood levels.
When I open the file, all of these sections (and there are alot) have relocated themselves to various locations in model space, none of which are aligned with the viewports that are being used for printing.
Could it be software and/or hardware incompatibility with the computer they were originally created on? (I believe it was created with C3D 2010, or C3D 2011 - I am currently running 2012)
Just 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
Right now, the only way I know of being able to see Civil grading objects (surface contours, spot elevations, slopes, etc) while using plain vanilla AutoCAD is to explode everything and export to a lower version.
I'm trying out a trial of AutoCAD 2013 to test things, and my Civil drawing shows up as boxes/text when xrefed into another drawing without doing the task above.
I'm looking for a more efficient way to see grading using AutoCAD (not Civil). Civil is expensive, and I'd like to downgrade the drafters who don't know how to use the Civil functions (and never will), but still need grading to show as a dynamic xref in the background of the drawings they're working on. Problem is, if I have to explode and export my drawing every time I want to update the grading xref in their drawing, it wastes more time than I'd like.
Is this the only way and I have to live with it, or am is there an easier way that I haven't dug up yet? I know I'm not an expert at Civil, so I may be going about this all wrong.
Is there a way to search for a text style in a civil style? I have a text style that our company is trying to get rid of and I would very much like to not have to go through our 72 company styles.

I've begun creating my drawing template with all my layers and each layer has a plot style attached to it. The line weight is set to default. I am doing a test plot with a drawing that I have to see what it looks like. The pen table is set to my .stb table but when I go to preview, my linework doesn't show up.
I have checked my setting for my layers to make sure that they are set to plot.
In my plot dialog box, if I uncheck "Plot with plot styles" I can see the linework but it doesn't plot right (plots in color). Unchecking "plot object lineweights" doesn't do anything either. What am I missing?
How R is calculated in the C3D?

Why does Exporting to DXF (any version other than 2013) fail, every single time?
First, we always get this error during the save. The save appears to finish OK in spite of the error.
But when you try to open the DXF using DWG Trueview, we get this error.
If we export out to 2013 DXF, the resulting file can be opened, but this doesn't do us much good.

I have been trying to import/export information to create a flood map using hec ras. I succesfully (not without some pain), imported the geometric data into HEC RAS and did my analysis. I create the .sdf and try to import it to Civil 3D, but, while it appears to have imported succesfully, it does not show the water lines.
As a matter of fact, CIVIL3D indicates at some point that the minimim and maximum elevations are both 0.00m.
I checked the .sdf file, which I attach, and it looks fine to me. It has the information of the water level as it should.
I have AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010, and I want to export some sections to HEC RAS, but I can't find the tool that allows me to do that, how can I find it?
