AutoCAD Inventor :: New Install Of 2013 Cannot Export An DWG?
Aug 9, 2012
I have a strange one here. Installed 10 seats of Inventor 2013 on Win 7x64, all but 2 cannot export an AutoCAD DWG. When you go to export the file, clicking on Options does nothing. On the one I have tried a repair install, this did no0t work, I then did an uninstall/reinstall, this fixed it. On the second machine, I was hoping I could get away with copying the dwg export .nin file. This has not worked
Before I installed the Product Design Suite, Network License. I did a Clean Uninstall of all Autodesk software: Uninstalled Programs, Deleted remaining Autodesk Folders, Cleared the Registry of all things Autodesk, cleared the Windows Temp folder, and Even ran Windows Install Clean Up Program. Clean slate, start the install, type in my three redundant license server names, the suite installs without a hitch.
I reboot. I opened AutoCad Mechanical, and AutoCAd with not issues. However Inventor, Showcase, Sketchbook, 3ds Max, and Fusion will not load/open, all is the blue spinning wheel. Check the Task Manager and see the program in processes, nothing happens. Then I right click on the image, and I will get a window stating program not responding.
I checked my Environmental Variables and the ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FLEX and FLEXLM_TIMEOUT are set correctly.
I do understand why my Autocad and Mechanical are the only software that functions out of the suite. I have done a complete uninstall and re-install and the issue still exists. Only AutoCAD will Open and function. Intentor will not open.

inventor 2013 content center won't install in windows 7. Tried everything, used to work in winxp64.I work for Imaginary Menagerie Managers of Imaginary Menageries. You can't imagine how long I've been there.
The Autocad 2013 x86 or x64 is not installed on Windows 8 Consumer Preview because programs can not read .NET Framework versions 2 and 4 which are integral parts of the OS.
We installed autocad 2013 network license on server and able to access from client machine. However, we are unable to access license from server itself.
I had resized the File>Open dialog in Inventor. I had resized it so that it was quite large so I realized pretty quickly when I opened another file, that the window size had rest to its original size.
What I found was that if I export a parts list to excel, then go to File>Open, for some reason the size of my file>open dialog is cleared.
The Architect posted a drawing that I must print in 2012 format (she forgot to save to 2004). I have tried 6 machines in our office this morning, attempting to get True View 2013 to run. The exact same error problem that plagued my attempts to use True View 2012 are occurring. True View says .NET 4.0 isn't installed. The problem is, that it is installed and running correctly. In two of the machines I went through the repair process of .NET 4.0 to see if there was a problem. There wasn't, no change; True View still errored out before installing. Is this a problem with buggy software? Are there any other options open to me? I don't know why they stopped updating True Convert. It was far superior and not full of programming/install bugs.
All our DWG files are stored on a network share. Files in that share are indexed by Windows Server 2008 r2, so searching in files from within Windows 7 is quite easy.
Unfortunately, the server doesn't index DWG files - it doesn't have the required filter installed. Now I can add the DWG extension, but it will use a 'Plain text filter' that's unable to look inside the DWG's. It should use the AcDwgFilter.
So: How do I get the server to index DWG's without installing AutoCAD? I.e. how to install the AcDwgFilter on the server.
Working on Autocad 2013 Mechanical. I ALWAYS have the Autodesk 360 SignIn objects on the top bar. I have disabled the Autodesk 360 from the installation list in the network deployment. But this doesn't work. I have also modified the registry and the .ini files but it seems NOTHING works! How can I install AutoCAD in silent mode without getting these objects on the top bar?
Since my AutoCAD crashes when exiting 95% of the time I thought I would install service pack 1.1. I have the 64 bit version of Autodesk Product Design Suite Premium 2013 which includes AutoCAD, AutoCAD Mechanical and AutoCAD Electrical. It is a Windows 7 HP XW series workstation.
Everytime I try to install the service pack it does not install, and a dialog box pops up stating "The service pack could not be installed because the expected Autodesk product could not be located on your computer." To be certain I tried both the 64 bit and 32 bit service pack. What may be causing this? Is this possibly caused by the fact that in Autodesk Product Design Suite Premium, AutoCAD is kind of a burried inside AutoCAD Mechanical, somewhat like a sub-program of AutoCAD Mechanical.
How can I install 2014 vault basic on my synology NAS Server? I have been told by our IT Guys that it won't be able to handle the vault software. What makes the Synology Server not work with Vault?
I'm trying to decide whether it is worth keeping up with the C3D releases every year. One thing I wanted to try was to see if 2014 worked any better on the key things I need, but I don't want to stuff up my 2013 installation. know if I can do a separate install safely?
I have 2013 on my system, and it was working fine for a few weeks, but then one day I tried to bring it up and got this error:

and when I click on the ok button, it shuts down the CAD window again. I tried repairing teh install, and then I tried reinstalling the program. I still get the same error, no matter what.
We have 2011 installed have customized some of the .XSL reports in ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2011enuDataReportsxsl
After installing 2013, the %ReportDir% variable for 2011 is pointing to the 2013 install, where the reports have NOT been customized. So when you run a report in 2011, it is using the XSL files in the 2013 location.
So the long and the short of it is the 2013 install broke our 2011 custom reporting ability.how to control the %ReportDir% variable in 2011?
I tried creating a custom workspace and was able to do so (without any modifications) but when I was in that workspace, and loaded an old menu, it wiped out all the default workspaces. where / how these default workspaces are stored, or how to upload all my old menu stuff without going through a tedious cui mod?
We have just recently install Building Design Suite Standard 2014 and the tool palettes DO NOT work.
Clicking on the standard palettes that load with ACAD will not even work. We have also tried to make new ones and the will not MAKE (for lack of words).
Here is the Autocad warning it gives us:
Unable to execute the tool. Possible causes are:
-The tool is not registered properly. Please check your installation.
-the tool is from another application and is incompatible with the current application.
