AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple Sheet Drawings With One BOM

Mar 27, 2012

I have a multi sheet drawing I am creating.  My BOM is on the first sheet.

I have noticed that when I place views on my subsequent sheets, the balloons restart from item 1 again.  Is there a way to link them to the BOM on sheet 1?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Multiple Drawings For IParts

Oct 18, 2011

I've created an iPart (for this discussion, lets just say a cube..)with 6 variations of the same part (its height has a choice of 6 different values in the iPart table)..I've created a drawing (idw) which dimensions the cube in one of the 6 instances..

..Is there any way to replicate the drawing another 5 times, with each referencing each instance of the iPart?

I was imagining copying the drawing 6 times and change each one to look for a different instance (a bit like when you go component - replace in an assembly..) then the drawing to automatically update the altered dimension.

this would save me producing and re-drawing 6 separate idw files for the same thing where only one dimension changes each time!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Printing Drawings On Multiple Sheets?

Aug 15, 2012

I've got a drawing that is 14"x12" and have a printer that can only handle 8.5 x 11 sheets. I need to print it out full scale because I plan on using the drawing to cut something out. In school, I have seen my teacher  print the drawing across multiple sheets, and then he simply tapes the sheets together. I have tried every configuration possible and have had no success.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Saving Part Files Multiple Times

May 2, 2013

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Make Individual Parts Adaptive To Multiple Assemblies Without Saving Each Part

May 4, 2013

   We use a similar sub-assembly in almost every assembly we design.  So what I would like to do is make a template from this sub-assembly that I can make adaptive, constrain to the proper parts and have it resize to the main assembly.  I've been trying to do this for a few weeks now with little success.

 I have seen tutorials make adaptive part templates but never adaptive assembly templates.  Is this even possible?

 I know you can't make individual parts adaptive to multiple assemblies without saving each part as a different file and I think that's where my problems are coming from.  Even though I save the template as a different file is it still referencing the original adaptive part in my library folder?  If so, is there a way I can make it not do that?  I may be way off base there too I don’t know.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Publish Requires Saving Drawings Before Creating A DSD File?

Oct 23, 2013

When I am working on several drawngs at the same time, I use the Publish command to plot them as a group. However to save the settings as a DSD file for future use, every open file needs to be saved. Why is this? Is there a way to disable that requirement?

There is no reason I can think of besides "by design" for this. The DSD file is only a list of drawings and their plot settings and is not dpendent in any way I can think of, to whether or not one its drawings is open and not saved.

AutoCAD VB :: Plot Multiple Drawings Using VBA

Aug 1, 2013

I am trying to write some VBA code to print several drawings present in a folder.

I am not a VBA expert. I wrote some little macros in excel but it is the first one in Autocad.

I have a small code that opens a drawing, counts it, closes it and then loops for other drawings.

I have a code that print a drawing by defining some printing parameters.

Separately, both work. But when I call the second one into the loop, I get a error:

"Run-time error '-2147418111 (800100001)':

 Automation error

 Call was rejected by callee."

I'm using Windows 7 and Autocad 2012.

See my code below:

Option Explicit
Dim filename As String
Dim filepath As String
Dim full_filename As String
Dim i As Integer
Sub print_trial()
[Code] ......

AutoCad :: Plot Multiple Drawings All At Once?

Sep 5, 2007

I am trying to plot multiple drawings all at once. I work with many drawing sizes varies from size A to size E. What would be the best way to plot all drawings to 11 X 17 paper no matter what size the drawings are set to? These drawings are not xref or anything. They all are separated files. I tried using Set Sheet Manager; it will only plot to whatever that size is. I want all drawings to be plotted on 11 X 17. I did some research in the forums here and was not able to find what I was looking for.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Publishing Multiple Drawings To PDF

Jan 28, 2013

I've started having a problem with the Publish command when publishing multiple drawings to PDF.

When I plot a drawing using the plot command, I don't have a problem.

When I publish one drawing using the Publish command it is also fine.

It is only when I try to publish multiple files that the problem occurs- the PDFs are produced, but the it is as if the drawing contents (paper space) has been shifted up by 10mm or so, cutting off the top of the drawing, and creating a larger margin at the bottom of the drawing. I use exactly the same page setup as for the single drawing plot.

There seems to be no setting that would change this, and the fact that publishing a single drawing works suggests that there is some kind of bug. At the moment i have to plot every drawing individually (or get my colleague to do it- it works fine on his machine, same page setup file!)

See attached example.

I need then to edit the title block of all of these layout knowing that this title block is an Xref.

AutoCad :: Publish Multiple Drawings To PDF - Autosave?

Jul 5, 2011

I'm weaning myself off of Adobe's PDFMaker and learning how to publish.

I've got everything working but I'm prompted at an Adobe prompt (Save PDF File As...) for every sheet
which is overwhelming when I have multiple drawings with multiple sheets.

I don't know how (or if it is possible) to make it just save to the default name and continue onto the next one.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Copy Viewports To Multiple Drawings

Jun 3, 2011

Is there a way to copy a viewport with all its layers setup from one drawing file to another drawing file?

I can copy the viewport and activate it, but the layers setup for that viewport goes to default. So it turns everything on.

I can't make a layer state in the old file and import in new file, because the new file does not have all the same layers.  So not all my layers would be turned off in the viewport.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Data Extraction From Multiple Drawings

Jan 14, 2013

I am working on Data compliation and trying to extract data from multiple AutoCAD drawings. The data extraction wizard works well and extracts all the data from the drawing. I wish to segregate the data and want some certain set of data e.g. in P&ID drawing, I need only instrument Tags which are connected to DCS and likewise...

Is there any way to filter such kind of data and get the required results?

I am trying to change text in hundreds of drawings. What I have is a line of text say "the brown fox" and I need to change it to "the black dog". I have probably 1500 drawings I need to do this in. I am not versed in scripts of lisp. I know the ACAD commands to do this but could develop a script file to batch this.

AutoCAD LT :: Open Multiple Drawings In Separate Windows?

Nov 15, 2011

Currently when I open up multiple drawings (opening them up one at a time) they all appear in the same window (one instance) of AutoCAD.

I want each drawing to open in separate instances so I can view them on separate monitors (and close one without being asked to close them all).

I have tried changing the SDI system variable from 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)

I have tried changing the windows default program from AutoCAD Application to AutoCAD Launcher (and vise-versa)

I have set the TASKBAR system variable at both 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)

Revit :: Import A Sheet With Multiple Drawings From Autocad

Feb 25, 2013

I am trying to import a sheet with multiple drawings on it from AutoCAD to a sheet in Revit but when I do so all I get are the lines showing the AutoCAD sheet and the drawing labels but no actual drawings. I have done this before and can't figure what is going wrong. I have the import options set to color: black and white, levels/layers: specify and unit: inch. I also don't have AutoCAD on my workstation and it is a very large hotel project with hundreds of specific details and sheets that I do not want and do not have time to change or redo.

The DWGs I have are all set up as sheets and I don't have any individual details or drawings of the project not already set up as an AutoCAD sheet. I thought I could make the process simple by just importing the DWG sheet with all drawings to a Revit sheet at the correct scale, explode the layers, delete what I don't need and be done, this is NOT the case. Also I can get access to AutoCAD on another workstation after hours .

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Printing Multiple Drawings

Apr 10, 2006

Is is possible to "que" a bunch of drawings to be plotted? I would like to be able to open a drawing and plot it, then while it's plotting, open another drawing and plot it, then another and so on and so on. However, I get an error message stating that another plot is in process and only one plot or publish process can be active at one time. Thus, I'm forced to wait for the last one to complete before sending the next one to the plotter.

I'm fairly new to the AutoCAD API for .NET, and for the last month or so I've been googling about, looking for comprehensive documentation on the Autodesk API (their equivalent of man pages). I've yet to find anything that describes each method and class in the API.

My goal is this: I'm trying to figure out how to copy the contents of all drawings in the same directory into a single dwg file. What subsets of the AutoCAD API should I use to do so?
