AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard?
Nov 21, 2013
I recently had an issue with the Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard. I went to go update a drawing and my custom title block was no longer an option to choose. I believe I used it Monday and it worked fine. I am using Inventor 2013.
Is there a logical work flow to apply a new or updated drawing title block to a large number of IDW's that are in a vaulted project?
The Drawing transfer wizard looks to be a good tool, I just can't see how to handle getting all the IDW's checked out of the vault, updated and back into the vault in an automated way.
I'd like to be able to queue up a set of processes using Inventor's task scheduler. Ideally I'd be able to queue it, leave, and have it done in the morning.
The process is this:
1. Check Inventor dwg files out from vault 2. migrate files to 2013 3. Run drawing resource transfer wizard 4. Check files back in 5. Export all files to AutoCAD dwg format
How can I queue step 3 to run through task scheduler? DRTW is not an option in the task scheduler. I'll be giving it the same settings to use every time.
I have a form that is loading automatically in my part model. where i write the part number, description, project and custom titles.
my questions are:
1 - when i write the part number i would like then when i click apply it opens the save box with the same part number. 2 - it's possible to check-in the file during the saving and keeping the file checkout? 3 - i would like that some of the properties would be transfer to the drawing, like the description and the project (this two are from the part properties. 4 - transfer also for the drawing the custom titles to the custom i properties of the drawing as pre fill in.
When I go from model tab to layout 1 the drawing does not transfer over. I have went on youtube and looked and even watch the instructor video. Everyone's just transfers right over. mine does not.
I'm getting lots of error messages when I bring up drawings in my 2009LT. Resource Manager Error. Cannot load resource only DLL. File not found, then many similar messages with AecResMgrenu.dLL.
Over and over, keep hitting OK till drawing loads. Not one specific file either.
Also: Unable to locate resource string. Resource Manager is not correctly installed.
Is there a way to fix without reloading 2009LT and having to reset all settings. Can that file AecResMgrenu be replaced. I have backup Program Files on CD.
I've been running ADT 2005 successfully on windows XP Pro for a year, but suddenly after running the backup program in windows XP, I effectively cannot startup and run AutoCAD for all the "Resource Manager Errors".
Checking the Autodesk knowledge base, the problem is recognized, but the solution does not appear to be available to me. Here is what Autodesk has to say:
Startup error: Cannot load resource only dll Published date: 2004-10-21 ID: TS100289 Applies to: Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005 Issue
When you attempt to launch a session of Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005, the following error message is displayed:
Cannot load resource only dll
Solution: This error message typically occurs on systems running a backup software, such as Backup Software Verita 9.1. This software runs a remote agent that causes a conflict with the loading of ARX and DLL files associated with Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005. In these instances, disabling the remote agent will restore the ability to launch and utilize Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005.
*[back to me] - I've searched for the aformentioned "remote agent" on my system, but to no avail. Meanwhile, I cannot run ADT as it asks for missing files at startup and at every command.
When working in the "Layout" when I want to work with the "viewport" always a window "Resource Manager Error" that says "Unable to find a row with the number 25900 in the resource AecXDisplayPropsData60" and one key "OK" Click the window again propodaet but when I try to work with the viewport poevlyaetsya again.
I get a multiple error message dialogue "Cannot find resource string number XXXX in AeccPublishSVC 100 when exporting a DWFX file of drainage in Civil3d R2014 (I have R2013 open as well).
Whenever I hover over my guardrail Subassembly I created with SAC I get this error. It's tied to the Tooltip info because it only happens when they are turned on. I have written a lot of subassemblies with SAC and this is the first one with this issue. See video: [URL] .......
I saw other posts about similar errors recommending a repair, which I did try, to no avail.

1 I tried to add a vehicle to the resource kit (attached FBX). Used the resource kit manager .. it almost worked .. final object did not appear, I got an emoty box where the truck was supposed to be.
2 then I tried to copy materials from an existing vehicle max, merged the 2 models in one max but could not find a way to 'copy' a material from source to target .. source appeared to be 'loacked' like a group
3 then I tried to make a copy of the toyota dyna truck - but scaled up a little (120%). Managed to scale up object but result in road model had the original scale??
Basically, the toyota dyna truck is too small. I need a real size delivery truck in Civil View or I need to be able to scale up the dyna truck. Steps on how to add a vehicle - including material settings would be useful.
Note.. in 2 and 3 .. the existing vehicles in max files, seem to be grouped somehow - what is used? How do you ungroup it? (it is not a 3ds max group)
I created a custom resource as xml . and browsed .xml file, I am able to see this browsed xml file in my Resource Browser. actully this xml file I want to used for custom plugin. but i am not able to get how can i access this xml resource file as xml document ? Becuase i have to read this xml resource file as xml document.
one thing more after build my pluing when i opened my .aip file in notepad++ , This xml data is appended as the part of .aip file. I am working with AI CS6
How to transfer a sub-assembly location to another sub-assembly location (Same orientation and location)?
I'm doing with equipments(Pressure vessels and heat exchanger). I would like make all nozzle location to be in 0 degree and 90 degrees angle if horizontal equipment and 90 degrees and 270 degrees angle if vertical equipment.
How can I know the XYZ axis on corresponding locations without having a reference to another nozzle?(If no nozzle in 0 degree and 90 degree angle of the equipment, so on and so forth).
I've been doing some research on new computers for the office and my boss came to me about potentially switching from Windows OS to Mac OS. In my opinion I'm ok with whatever OS we use but I don't know much about MAC Computers. I have done some research on them and have read of customers using Inventor 2012 on Macs but that’s the extent of it.
1) Are there any issues that you've seen when running Boot Camp or Parallels and which do you think is user friendly.
2) How well are you able to transfer files from a MAC PC to a Windows PC then vise versa? (Taking work home etc.)
3) Have you had any problems transferring your library of information from Vault over to a Mac? (Checking in and out of Vault)
4) Our company use's DXF's made from Flat patterns that we transfer over to a Salvagnini machines that use's windows.
The Add-A-Plotter Wizard has become corrupted, and will not run on any computer in the office. We get a message about missing DLLs. I think I used to know how to add plotters "by hand", before the Add-A-Plotter Wizard existed. Can I still do this, and if so, how?
I am running Inventor 2008 and have recently created a few models. All of the models I have created have been linked to external spreadsheets at the part and assembly levels. Everything for a complete model is in a single folder, the spreadsheet and all parts, assemblies and drawings. With my previous models I was taking the entire folder and copying it to new locations to make slightly different models. When I would do this all the links of the copied parts were pathing to the copied spreadsheet, not the original, which is what I want. With my most recent model the copied parts are still pathing to the original spreadsheet.
P.S.: I tried to get around this by doing a pack and go and ended up with the same issue.
When I try to add a plotter, I get a message, "No DRC files were found in Autocad 2013 - English drivers directory."
The DRC files are in the DRVen-US directory, and is in my drivers search path. I have even changed the order of the search path to place that directory first, but no joy.
I would like to know how it would be possible to manipulate the Intersection Wizard so that I can obtain the required shape as drawn by the architect. In essence create a "round about" shape. see the attached image for furhter detail.
I'm having some trouble with .fbk files disappearing after I import them. I'm sure I am missing a setting somewhere but I don't know where. I have a (slightly clunky) workaround on setting things up correctly.
We went straight from LDD 08 to Civil 3d 13 so it is a bit of a learning curve.
I am trying to use Civil 3d 2013 with Trimble Link. My procedure is to download the file with trimble link and then follow the wizard from there. My .fbk imports fine, but if I need to edit anything I find that it is missing from the folder that I just imported it from.
If I copy and rename the .fbk prior to importing it I can import and edit the re-named file no problem, it just seems to be the initial import done by the wizard that deletes the file.
