i'm working on a small project, it's a box for electronics. The housing will have different marking when it's finished. I was wondering if it's possible to place a .DWG and .JPG files where the marking shall be and and you can switch between layers to see different markings on the box and all this possible in a .STP file? Or is this impossible, i've been trying to get it work for weeks without any success.

I have an assembly in which the thickness of each of the layers in an assembly are generated from a part file that is split via a sketch. I use the Make Components tool to break the part into the individual layers, which also spits out an assembly.
Is there a way to push the thickness value of these parts that will update automatically if the thickness is changed in the parent part, in order to reference this property on the drawing?
I want to add the same 3 adjustment layers to about 20 photos and then in scripts, export layers to files, so that each photo includes the adjustments.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using Illustrator since the late 80's but this request just now came up for the first time, twice in one day: the clients each want me to send them layered files (OK-no problem) wherein all the layers, even the raster layers, register as vector layers. Or at least all the layers, regardless of file-type (vector or raster) are contained within an unflattened Illustrator file. One of the clients specifically asked that the Type layer (No problem-all the type is on one layer) be "vector mapped", whatever that means, while all the other layers can be Photoshop layers, if necessary. So how do I hand them an open, unflattened Illustrator file containing both vector art and raster art? Can it be done in Acrobat, as a PDF? I'm working in AI and PS CS5, but I can and will upgrade if I have to.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy file has over 100 layers and 20,000 containers that are in 3D. It worked fine when I drew them. After I closed the file, it always takes 5 to 10 min to open. I can't delete a layer (layer2) or rotate angle of view or any normal command such as purge and audit.., it always crashes.
I was wondering that if I did anything wrong casued this, and that whether my approach of drawing these is correct, performace wise.. and what would be the better way of doing this..because my drawing is now uesless I can't even rotate it in vp or do anything..

Layers appear on the “preview” but not on there as the file opens,
In the attached screenshot, a layer is displayed but as the file opens it is not there!
I tried all the very common steps like turning on/thaw/…
And also recovery
And saving it in another file
And other…
But didn’t work
How layers are displayed in the preview while physically they are not there in the drawing as the file opens?

I'm trying to set up a company layer structure and want to use LISP. Therefore I'd like to use a template file and set every layer with it's specific linetype and color there. If I change something in the template, say the color of a layer, it should update this in the drawing when I hit the LISP command.

How this is achieved without having to create each layer at a time by manual entry?

However, after saving the amended .las file it would not re import into the layer manager.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't have this problem on all my files, only a select few. When i save a file and reopen, all the viewports in which I have frozen layers are all reset. All layers are turned back on and I have to go through every viewport and refreeze layers. This problem has persisted long enough that I unfortunately know when I close a file I will have to reorganize the layers next time I open the file. Is this a setting issue or this a bug in the file?
