A drawing that is in Vault, it asks if you want to check it out, and if you say no (like if you just need to print it), it opens it then asks you again if you want to check it out? Did it not get the hint the first time?
View 1 RepliesI have an issue where an addin loads once the first time Inventor is opened. If the addin is unloaded and reloaded via the Addins dialog and no documents are open it loads once. If the addin is reloaded while a file is open is reloads twice.
I came to the conclusion it is loading multiple times because the it seems to go through the Activation method of the addin twice. When is the Activation method called during loading an addin?

In testing my latest automation project, I've found that I can't save copies of a part multiple times (after deleteing the files off the disk) unless I close out of the top level assembly document, and reopen it. I used Process Monitor and determined that Inventor is trying to save to an existing file instead of creating a new file.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this script that basically makes a shape expand by adding an outline, conveting the outline to an object, and then welding the whole thing together.
I have the script set to execute with hotkey ctrl+numpad+
The odd thing is, when I run it once, it seems to work fine and only one object is left, but when I hold down ctrl and press numoad+ over and over again, it seems to produce a new copy of the object everytime.
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I need to get it to stop.

I'm copying 1 object, multiple times. Yes I know how to multiple copy.
The problem is this.
The object I'm copying will have varying distances between each copy e.g. , 50, 100, 90, 150, 140, 100, 190 so on and so forth.
Is there a way in LT to copy relative to the last object placed?
I'm using Autodesk Map 3D 2006, it's a new install. I am trying to import an ESRI .shp file with the object data, but have only been able to successfully import it once. When I try again (even after restarting the program), I keep getting 0 objects processed and no linework imported, even with new drawings. I also got 2 error messages at one point: 1900 - about having coincident points and a can't transform object error.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a SelectionAdded event handler that reacts three times when selecing a single block and once when deselecting it.
If there are two blocks in the drawing but only selected one it reacts 5 or 6 times.
And it reacts every time I pass the mouse over the selected block.
Is there any way to sidestep the events in the handler so that AutoCAD doesn't grind to a halt if I have multiple blocks in the drawing. And decide to move my mouse over all of them?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to copy a layout tab inside an AutoCad file into a sheet set I created. All folders and sub folders are created and setup. What I need is to be able to copy the same layout under different sub folders inside sheet set manager.
To explain this better, I have a sheets set with all different departments inside our company (ex. CNC Dept., Bending, Machining, Welding, etc.). Some drawings have information for CNC, Welding and bending dept. Therefore I need to be able to copy the same drawing layout multiple times under each dept folder.
How can I do this? It only allow me to drag and copy the file once. I wont be able to drag it again under another folder.
Using PS CS6 on WIndows 7 64. All drivers updated. When I set 5 copies in the print menu, with either PSDs, TIFFs, or JPGs, PS sends the same job five times rather than telling the printer to just make 5 copies.
This happens when using either the color laser or Epson R3000. This does NOT happen when using non-CS6 products. On a 25 print run, this takes an abnormally long time.What I HAVE found is that PS is NOT passing the information to the printer. In other words, even though I set PS to multiple copies, when I click printer options the number of copies has not been passed to the driver.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a piece of a program that gets the layers from a drawing, and checks each one against a list of layers. If the layer is not a member of any of the lists it asks the user which layer list to add it to. This is what I have so far, but every time I try to run it I get a bad argument error.
(setq layerspresent (vla-get-layers (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))(setq i 0) (repeat (vla-get-count layerspresent)(setq thislayer (vla-get-name (vla-item layerspresent i)))(cond(((progn(or(= nil (member thislayer 0list))(= nil (member thislayer detaillist))(= nil (member thislayer clearancelist))(= nil (member thislayer clearanceelist))(= nil (member thislayer doorsdrawerslist))(= nil (member thislayer hiddenlist))(= nil (member thislayer hiddenelist))(= nil (member thislayer deletelist)))));ifs((progn(initget "0 DEtail CLearance CLEarance-e DOOrs-and-Drawers HIdden HIddEn-E DELete")(setq userchoice (getkword "

Depending on the user's choice the layer gets written to an external file where the layer lists get their layers from in the beginning and then adds the layer to the relevant list to use later in the program.
I have created an image and would like to print as many copies of it as I can fit onto a single page from my printer (let's say A4 size). (My image is a logo that I am printing to water-slide transparency which is too expensive to waste one sheet per image). I can't seem to easily do this in Paint.Net (the options for contact sheet and wallet don't come out in quite the size I want). So I guess the best option is to save the file in another format (tiff, jpeg, PNG etc) and then copy it multiple times into another app like Word or PowerPoint, and then print from there. However my image has some transparent areas that I need to keep as transparent. How do I do this? Are there some image file formats that will retain the transparency? Likewise do word or PowerPoint support the transparent areas and print as such?

If I open up a JPG image in Photoshop, make some edits, then use the 'save as' command (using a lower quality setting), overwriting the current file open, will saving it again further compress the image that is currently open? Or does photoshop store the original file (when it was first opened) information until closed?

View 3 Replies View Relatedjust started using Edge Animate. I have some experience with Flash and After Effect so the layout is pretty familiar to me. I have no background in coding so I am very happy that it generates codes for me.
My goal is to make a simple html5 site with links / embedded videos to my contents (500 and vimeo). I copied some codes used for Youtube embedding, sub'd the url with vimeo url, and it worked fine. I used a "play video" button on the main page to trigger loading the video page (see my code below).
It worked great the first time I clicked the button and went to the video page. However, upon returning to the main page, and click the "play video" button again, a duplicate copy of the video is loaded right below the video loaded upon first click. This occurs for as many times as I click the play video button.
I have a logic problem in my code that I need solving,
here's the bit of code which is supposed to set the text, image and link for a symbol used multiple times on the Stage.
var names = ["melz", "brom", "calm", "micj", "mick", "brir", "mato", "brym", "azin", "hugh", "nicl", "bonr", "lisa"];
var name = null;
for(var x = 0; x < names.length; x++){
name = names[x];
var initials = (name[0]+""+name[3]).toUpperCase();
var cursymbol = sym.getSymbol(name);
[Code]...
The text and image code work, however my problem is with setting the link. It always sets all the symbols to the last name in the names[] array. What I want it to do is to set the link to the personalised name in the array. So the HH button will link to hugh.html and the BM button will link to brym.html etc.
For now I'm going to play around a bit and see what happens.
I've received a drawing from a client today and in it there are several text styles. One has Arial as its font. When this text style is current and we insert some dtext AutoCAD does not prompt for the text rotation angle, it uses the last rotation angle we used.
As far as I know there is no system variable that controls this behaviour, or have I missed it. Other delivered text styles do not have this problem.

But is there a fastest way to insert the Part fifty times in the assembly, instead of copy paste?
Our Autocad parts lists used to calculate the weight of parts times the quantities. Now we are using Inventor and I see that the weight shown on a parts list is the weight of an individual part - although the quantity could be 2 , 3 (more than one). Is there a way to have the total weight shown equal to MASS times ITEM QTY?
