AutoCAD Inventor :: Routine To Find Orphaned Objects In IDW Files?
May 3, 2013
I'm working on a routine to find orphaned objects in .idw files. So far, I've found it relatively simple to find orphaned dimensions, balloons, surface texture symbols and centerlines/marks, but I'm having trouble with leaders (such as for tapped holes, etc.) and weld symbols.
I've tried iterating through a drawing's SketchedSymbols collection, but it seems that this collection always has zero size, and unlike the items I've been successful with so far, I cannot find a specific collection for those items either within the sheet or drawingview objects.

After looking thru the api, i'm finding it hard to get a list of orphaned dimensions.
I can get a list of all the dimensions...easy.
I've basically deleted a part from the assembly and now want to remove that dimension in a section view on the drawing document.
But looking / comparing the properties of a non-orphaned vs an orphaned shows nothing.
Is there an orphaned list?
Is there a color override switch somewhere?
Or can I somehow get the object that the dimension is trying to reference and check to see if it is valid or has a valid file reference...or something?

I work with polylines a lot to maintain Facility Space and I come across polylines that are overlapping. Is it possible to have a routine to find polylines that are overlapping? Sometimes I really have to zoom in pretty close to see if they are overlapping and sometimes it's pretty obvious.

So I have a lot of 2D drawings (a couple thousand roughly) that I need to go through and shift the objects within to the absolute 0,0 position. That way, when we insert them into a new drawing, everything is centered appropriately and not way off the screen.
Instead of:
Open File > Select Objects > "MOVE" > Specify Basepoint > " * 0 , 0 " > Center View on Newly position Objects > Save File > Close File
... Repeat ...
By way of a LISP routine, or a script that could automatically do the above steps on it's own. Even something that doesn't require me to hit *, then tab, then 0, then tab, then 0 again.

Any Lisp Routine to scale text objects a certain value and have the program actually scale each text object as you pick them.
The change text height using the Properties function does not work for what I need because the objects I need to scale are Mtext objects with Background Mask, and when you use the Properties function to change their text height it messes up the background mask so that you have to select each text entity and stretch the mask area smaller or larger, but if you use the scale function it scales the background mask as well so the background mask coverage is still the same.

I have unchecked resolve file references, etc, and still basically spends 5 minutes looking for files i told it not to look for. Why doesnt it just open the assembly or drawing, without waiting for ever?

I'm trying to reload a bunch of xref's through the project support path that I have setup, Really the project support path should be able to reload all the xref if they are already there. The problem is that the xrefs that im trying to reload ( the staus: says Unfreferenced and the type: Attachment) and when I type in the project name and then reload the xrefs, they should be able to find and link the xref to the drawing, but Im getting a a message saying that the xrefs are Orphaned and the status is Unreferenced. Its as though the system cant seem to find the xrefs with my projectname support path that I have setup.

Is there a way to have a Lisp Routine open multiple script files?
I have 10 types of scripts, that are specific to the type of file they open (as shown below). which simply open a file, purge/audit, save and close.
open "Q:PROJECTS321700Field ManagementCoordinationElectricalSleeving613321700_ES-613-Lev01.dwg"audit y-purge all * n-purge R * naudit yqsavecloseopen "Q:PROJECTS321700Field ManagementCoordinationElectricalSleeving613321700_ES-613-Lev02.dwg"audit y-purge all * n-purge R * naudit yqsaveclose The file above was named ES-613.
I would like to create a Lisp Routine that opens this script, *Some how closes the file*, and then opens another script.
For example:(defun c:Audit-Purge ()(command ".SCRIPT" "O:/Users/Kurt N/Script/Novartis/NovartisPURGE/ES-615.scr")(PROMPT "ES-615 Done.")(princ)(command ".SCRIPT" "O:/Users/Kurt N/Script/Novartis/NovartisPURGE/ES-613.scr")(PROMPT "ES-613 Done.")(princ)ECT>>....)

we are seeing "orphaned" animation layer data hanging around in our files. even in a totally empty file, it accounts for about 30mb of data, and it slows down loadingsaving. we suspect it came from a client asset at some point, but unfortunately it carries over even on merge so it has propagated quite quickly to a large number of our assets.
using maxscript to access the animLayer manager to delete these does not work either.. (it will remove a few of the layers, but others generate a runtime error) here's a snippet from the listener:
for i = 2 to animLayerManager.getLayerCount() do animLayerManager.deleteLayer i
-- Error occurred in i loop
-- Frame:
-- i: 18
-- Runtime error: Blend Euler As Quat
in max 2010, at the very least we were able to use "File-->New.. Keep Objects and Heirarchy", which would leave this data behind at the expense of removing all other keyed animation data in the scene as well. this doesn't seem to work in 2012.
attached is a screenshot from the trackview (only place i know to see it--the Animation Layer Toolbar does not see them). i would attach a file as well, but even compressed it is 24mb..

I'm still bouncing back and forth from 2008 LDD and 2010 3D.
I can't seem to find inquiry station offset objects or something like inverse to line.
Do have to create alignments for these simple calculations.

so I've recorded a macro to find all drop shadows and seperate them from whatever they're attached to. Now my problems is how to deselect the objects leaving just the drop shadows selected
Sub Macro173()
ActiveDocument.CreateShapeRangeFromArray(ActiveLayer.Shapes(3), '
ActiveLayer.Shapes(1)).Cut ActiveLayer.Paste Dim Paste1 As ShapeRange
Set Paste1 = ActiveSelectionRange
ActiveDocument.Undo
ActiveDocument.Undo
ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection
ActiveSelection.Separate
End Sub

Surely the Find/Replace Objects dialog boxes don't just restrict itself to searching on the current page... that would be stupid but it seems to be that way.

Why does the find and replace functionality have to be so sloppy to use? I have a customer that sends me cmyk drawings and I need them to be rgb. They also have lines that need to be changed to hairline from .25pt. It's frustrating how difficult this is to accomplish due to the sloppy interface that CD has had ever since I've been using it - since v12.
How hard would it be to allow you to change the palette, line width and colors on lines and outlines in one step? Right now it's multiple steps and don't forget once to change the target color palette or you'll convert everything back to cmyk...

I am not able to find monochrome.ctb when I click on File -> Page Setup Manager -> Modify -> Plotstyle table my only selection are .stb files which are color. When I try to add a new file it will not allow me to do a .ctb file or changes the properties from color to grayscale.
I have gotten a driver for monochrome.ctb from my co-worker. I clicked on File-> Plot Style Manager-> Add-A-Plot Table Wizard and then walked through the steps to upload the monochrome.ctb drive. The drive then appears on the list of drivers in Plot Style Manager. However it will still not let me select monochrome.ctb as an option to publish to. Is there something that I have not tride? Am I able to use .ctb in AutoCAD LT 2012?

Looking for a nice script that can search a complex design with lots of linework and find all coinciding duplicates and select them all and delete them but leave (1) good copy.
Basically when I use Outline Pathfinder in Adobe Illustrator, then bring back into corel, sometimes get a lot of redundant objects. I already set the settings in Adobe Illustrator to minimize that as much as possible.

Is there any way to set keyboard shortcut or toolbar button to customized find objects option (.fin file)? I am a average Coreldraw user, knows almost all basics, but lacks advanced use of Coreldraw. I like to use any techniques that saves time. I know it with adobe Photoshop (like action etc.) but not with Coreldraw.. I heard about macros.
For Now I need to
1) set keyboard shortcut or toolbar button to customized find objects option (.fin file)
2) set keyboard shortcut or toolbar button or macros for repetitive find & replace options...
3) create macros for simple moves & then after combine these type of simple macros in one macros...
4) set keyboard shortcut or toolbar button to that macros...
5) and any these type of time saving technique. (in selection making, replacing, finding, batch process etc..)
I want is make actions & then combine them to script & then set keyboard shortcuts for same...

URL....I have a jpg file that I needed to apply some transparency to and saved it as a png file. I now want to delete the jpg file but it's being referenced in several drawings, but I don't know which ones. Is there a way to reverse the function of Reference Manager, ie find all the drawing files that reference my jpg file?

I'm writing a tool to change iproperties in the titleblock.
But now we start using two different types of titleblocks.
I need to check which titleblock is present in the current sheet/drawing.
I use this code to place a titleblock:
Call Doc.ActiveSheet.AddTitleBlock("sample_titleblock")
How do I check if "sample_titleblock" is already present?
