The idea is to have hand drawn characters (our actors) in many different poses,actions and with different expressions,just like in that video.
What I need is the way to easily and fast switch between different drawings.Some kind of a library where I can just click on a picture and it will change to that one.Drawings will be on a simple plane with alpha transparency.
how to add motion blur when drawings are switching

I have a file where there are mostly surfaces and gradings. But once again i ran into a similar problem - i cannot open the file anymore. It just stops loading and then Civil crashes.
Can try to open it and maybe use MAPCLEAN or AUDIT in hope it fixes anything?
Why do these things even keep happening, i do not understand at all.
I uploaded the file to [URL]

I am having an issue when opening and saving files is very slow when I have a project active in the Project Navigator.
If I have an active project, and I open a file via Project Navigator or Windows Explorer, the process hangs for 15-20+ seconds at the 'Opening C:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ac$' point, where it is creating the temporary file.
If I 'Close the current project' in the project browser and open the same file via Windows Explorer, the process takes less than a second.

When I try to open a vsp project in X5 using Windows 7 I am getting an error message saying, File is already in use, and a number 15055:1:1. I have been using this computer with X5 and XP professional and it works fine. I have a selection of vsp files that I use as templates, the only time I have had this message before is when I had my template vsp files write protected, which I have stopped doing. I have now installed Windows 7 on this same computer but cant open any of my previous projects. These projects were created using X5.

Everytime I try to open my Project File in After Effects CC, it tries to open it, but then freezes. Really frustrating and this project is for a job that I am doing. Put in a lot of work to start over again.

A few of my design drawings are taking a long time to open from cold. They are not particularly complex drawings and all the files / assembly etc. that are referenced on them are correctly stored and are not corrupt or 'sick'. Why are these drawings taking so long to open? waiting for them is slowing me down considerably.

On my current project I get the error message "Software problem" when attempting to open the project file. This problem began last night and affects the project file and all automatic backup files of my current project. It does not seem to be affecting other projects.
how to recover this file?

I was taught in school that to set up a project location, go to File > Set Project... to choose a folder for saving all files and materials, and then go to File > Project Window. But for some reason, when I click on Project Window, it does absolutely nothing. The window does not pop up.
It works fine in computers in school, but at home on my Windows computer, it doesn't.

I encounter a problem that I do not understand. I created a little C# routine for Autocad Electrical (2011 and 2012) which adds some drawings to the current project with the following command:
(c:ace_add_dwg_to_project dwg2add paramlst)
This method works perfectly. With the parameter list you can set the Section, Sub-Section and Descriptions of the page properties, exactly what I want. When I start the routine, I check which project is active. If the wrong project is active, I activate the appropiate project with the following command:
(c:wd_makeproj_current wdpfnam)
So, when I want to add drawings to project A and project B is active at the start of the routine, I activate project A and the drawings are added. When I want to add drawings to project A and this project is already active, the drawings are not added to the project. The method mentioned above to add drawings returns nill, which means a failure.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug of Autocad?I already tried to always activate the project I want to add drawings to, but that doesn't matter.

As a new Inventor user I wanted to get some insight and pointers on good practices for Project Files and their structure while using a stand alone Inventor seat with no Vault I am a single user at our company and just upgraded to Inventor. I have been using Solid Works for years and things are a little different.

I was making some changes the other day to the parts list settings inside of the styles editor and discovered that this involved needing to make the master project file a read/write condition. I was starting to get into uncharted territory at this point, but was proceeding with caution. So I went into my vault working folder in windows explorer and RC'd on the MPF and changed it to read/write. I made my BOM changes and life seemed to be good on the heals of a long holiday weekend. I changed the properties of the MPF back to read only and I thought things were fine.
Until yesterday when I started getting this message. This shows up every time I open and check out a file from Vault. Plus it also changes my MPF on my local drive back to read/write. I am also starting to get this error message when I start a new drawing file as well.

I'm working on creating iparts for fasteners. Initially I had the O.D. of all the fasteners as nominal, which created an issue when using analyze interference. All hole features are based on the minor diameter, so they are displayed correctly on the .idw. Nominal fasteners with minor diameter holes means interference.
I am currently referencing the thread.xls spreadsheet, located in the Inventor Design Data folder, within my fastener ipart spreadsheet. This allows me to maintain a constant connection to the thread.xls file if there are ever changes from Autodesk.
My issue comes about when I am placing the ipart files within assemblies. I am asked for the location of thread.xls. Once I re-establish the link, Inventor tells me it's not part of the active project. BUT, if you look at the Project - Folder Options - Design Data, it is the same location. So the project does have a link to the folder structure.
Would I have to create a library in each project so the link can be established.

I have written a program within Inventor that list all components of an assy with their properties (iproperties and properties from Producstream) and allow an export of the bill of material to Excel with our company layout.
I want to add a function to my program in order to print all drawings that belong to an assy.
I have the list of components and I want to use the new functionality of the Producstream menu that allows us to open the attached drawing.
But I don’t know which library and which property.

How to change the color of a bunch of files in an assembly easily? I don't want to open each file (70+) and change them manually only to find out there was an easier way to do it.

I have an assembly of pallet racking, it is one complete frame which can be modified in all the desired ways by the ilogic i have in place. I wish to be able to put this frame into a new assembly but have different dimensions for each frame. I used to do this by copying all the files to a new folder so that each frame had its own parts. This has stopped working and now once one frame is altered all the other frames change to rather than having there own dimensions.

We are having an issue where the master project file that we have created at my company keeps switching back to the default.ipj file randomly. This is causing obviously our template paths as well as other path settings to not be right.
Our VAR told us that this randomly happens. why this is happening or that my VAR is correct in what they said?

My company requires us to use two master project files instead of one and my problem is that i can add both .ipj files into the Projects navigator in Inventor and set one as the current project, but as soon as i close the navigation window and reopen it (presumably to switch to the other project) the project that is not the active project disappears from the navigation window. The .ipj file still exists, it just doesnt show in the navigator and i have to browse to find it again. This problem happens no matter which project i set to be currently active. How can i keep that from happening?

Has seen Inventor randomly reset a users project file from whatever it's set at to Default?
I have a couple of users here that for whatever reason have a habit of closing out Inventor everytime they want to close out one file and open another...yes, if they work on 10 files in one day, they've opened and closed Inventor 10 times...i.e. open, close, open, close, etc.
I've seen the project file reset happen on thier stations only thusfar.

I run inventor with Vault. I have a project file set up in my vault directory. Each time I close everything and restart my computer inventor switches the Project back to default. I have deleted every .ipj I could find. Below is a screen shot of what I see every morning. It should be on vault but it is not. If I start by checking out a file from vault it checks it back in because the .IPJ is not set in inventor.

When using the Associate Project to Current Drawing or Associate Project to Multiple Drawings command(s) where does this association data get stored? When using the Multiple Drawings option I do not see the save time/date being modified on the individual DWG's.
I also do not note any file being modified under the shortcut working folder which would contain associated drawing names. How does C3D "know" what project a file is associated with?

I want to duplicate & then rename a project I have stored on my vault computer, However I am experiencing many difficulties.
There are probably around 1000 + files in this project-multiple assemblies/drawings & parts. Initially i did a Pack & Go of the Project to my desktop. I then took my first top level drawings & using Design Assistant renamed all the reference parts and assemblies related too it. This worked fine, albeit a very long time to rename all the files.
The problem is that i have say 50 drawing files, some contain similar assemblies/part files which will have already been rename in the first top level drawing & some container different assemblies/parts (which are not related to the first top level drawing) & will have to be renamed separately.
Is there an easier way to duplicate & rename a vault project because design assistant makes this task extremely laborious. An great tool to add would be to 'Find & Replace' a file name & apply it too all the files. Similar to the function in Microsoft Word.
I have looked into the copy design feature in vault however, you can only copy a project within a project, you cannot copy it to a completely new folder in the vault.
The other problem is, is that you can only add a prefix or suffix to every file/related part/assembly, & i would rather replace the project number rather then add the new project number to the file names. This would be a viable option if you could rename multiple files quickly, however this just stems back to the design assistant.

We have had this issue now for a couple years and don't know what is causing it. We are using vault pro with admin set single project file. A user can work for months using correct.ipj, then randomly at 10:42 they will notice the active project was been changed to some other temporary project location "c: emp.....". Then it will happen to different users at different times. I cant seem to find any correlation to anything. I can only imagine that it is somehow triggered from the vault addin.
We are inventor 1012 and vault 2012 pro.

For the last few years I had my content center libraries running as part of the vault server. I have not made any customizations.
I want to try to have the content center libraries on my local machine to see if that speeds things up.
Is that possible while still using the vault server for our regular data?
Do I need to make any changes to my project file?

We are copying our original files to a sub folder to make revisions that have only happened after bidding. We want to keep our original bid documents intact. I have created a sub folder called 'Conformed Documents' and added Constructs, Sheets, Elements, ect.
I copied the files over and used the Reference Manager to repath the files. However, all of my schedules and room tags now use the 'NA' prefix because it is not reading the project information. How can i reconnect this folder to the project folder?

As I am creating drawings for parts/assemblies, I have to fill out the customers name and the job number which I currently do on every drawing I create by right clicking on the Drawing name in the tree, going to iProperties, and then filling out the fields I need.
I have to do this for every sheet. Sometimes over 100 sheets per job.
Is there a way, within the project file maybe, to have these fields be already filled in with the customers name and job number?
Every new project file I make is a new customer. So I'm wondering if there is someway to tweak the project file.
