View 2 RepliesI use Lightroom 4 and when I went in to look at some images I had recently edited, (all my images are large jpegs, and I "add" my photos to LR) they all started to change to some weird high contrast edit right before my eyes, one by one without me touching or changing anything. They also had a little exclamation point on them. When I clicked on the exclamation it says "the metadata was changed by Lightroom and another application" and I could "import settings from the disk or overwrite the disk settings." When I clicked import settings it reverted back to my original edit. But this didn't last.. after a few minutes they kept changing back to this other random edit.
I read online that I should save the metadata so it can't be changed, so I highlighted every image I have in Lightroom and saved the metadata. (this took about an hour for Lightroom to do) But now when I go back into Lightroom to look at my photos they do something different.. now they start to revert back to the original UNEDITED files all my themselves, one by one! I have already exported all the edited photos into folders so I have them. But what do I do!? If I ever want to go back to an edited photo and export it at a different size or retouch it or something, none of the edits are saved, I have to start from scratch! I'm a wedding photographer and I'm scared to load more images and work on them just for LR to change them back
Having problems with my preferences when saving edited files. In the save as menu the options to "save in version set with original" and the "Thumbnail option" is grayed out and won't allow selection.
I have been to edit-preferences but neither of those options are given.
New to this forum and PSP (X4 Ultimate). Working on a raw file (dng) in the Edit tab, I make changes then save to a jpg in another folder. The next day I want to undo some of the changes so I edit the dng raw file again but all my previous changes are no longer available. Am I doing something wrong? Or are my previous changes just no longer available in the raw file? Doesn't PSP keep track of changes made to raw files so you can continue to evolve the image? As I said, I am new at PSP so I hope I'm just doing something wrong. I have used Lightroom for a while now but I really like what PSP can do and the speed to make changes , especially to portraits.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do update the styles library to keep from getting the Styles Conflict error box. I have used the Standard.dwg file that loaded with Inventor 2012 but everytime I change styles and save the changes in a new template in reverts back to the library definitions.
I used to be able to select 'NO' in the LIbrary option of the Projects Folder but that optiion no longer exists.
We've created a new parts list style for a border.When the border tempalt file is on the c: drive...everything works hunky dory...parts list, revision tables, etc.But as soon as we copy and paste that border into the template library folder for new drgs...the parts list style is missing from the local styles?
So to make it appear on the new document...the style manager has to be set at all styles and the new parts list style has to be saved to the document?What aren't we doing to make it appear on the template?
Also note that because the drawing border template is in a template folder as part of the design projects...it is NOT editable...so it has to be edited outside the template folder.
I brought in a SHP and have pretty fancy style with a label. How on earth do you save these? The style library does not work for SHP files!

to save font styles that you have made so you don't have to make them every time you want to use them.
I'm using Inventor Pro 2013 as a single user (no vault). see the attached error. I was placing parts and I think I pulled one outside the project folder?? I got something about changing directories and I accepted it. That may be what happened but I'm not sure. I also noticed that in the projects box my project says (read only).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with a Zone Border. I created the Zone Border like normal. I edited the appearance of the 'ABCD1234' text slightly:
- changed to center and middle justification.
- changed width to 120%
- changed color to black
The edits to 'ABCD' took effect and look just right. The edits to '1234' don't stay edited. I save the sketch, it looks okay, then when I add it to Sheet:1, the numbers have gone back to blue and lost the width and justification edits. But the letters are fine. What the heck is going on?

working with an assembly of about 100 parts
file was working fine until about the last large componet i am working on.
when I edit a part and then hit return the ("excuting end edit componet " in lower left hand ) it seems to take some time to compute. This part i have a lot of sketches that are tide to other componets to create the postion of those. so i think this is the reason. i supressed this compent and the file got about 75% better so I am thinking that this is my issue.
for example when i need to make a cut out in one compent that is overlaying another I create a construction projection of the componet and then use this to off set or create a feature from that so that if I change the other one it changes the cut out. I am thinking the computer is having to figure out what is changing everytime.
What's the purpose of making modeling edits at the assembly level if those edits don't show up in a drawing of the parts? Sure, it makes the assembly look prettier and more true to the final product, but say I make a bunch of cuts, holes, etc. at the assembly level, but then I make a drawing for one of the parts that was affected... those edits don't show up on the part itself, so all those edits are of absolutely no use to me when I need to give the guys in the shop a detail drawing of how to make the part. Why I would make edits at the assembly level?

View 4 Replies View RelatedInitially the family was customized to add a few of our part numbers and suppress some members we weren't using.
There were some duplications in the table that were removed as well (This has been a known issue since 2009).
It has been working for several months without a problem.
Yesterday I needed some new sizes so I unsuppressed a few members and updated the part number and grade information .
Now when I try to place any instance from this family Inventor crashes.
I have found that the family will work if all members are unsuppressed. If only the customized members are left unsuppressed Inventor will crash on placement.
I ran some more tests by starting fresh and copying a read-only version from the ANSI library. I recreated the original library and it functions with the customizations untill I add a custom column (Grade) to use as a key.
How can a family go from functioning to not by only modifying a few fields?

How do you apply certain contour label styles to certain surface styles (i.e. When I have an existing surface i want the default contour labels to be an "existing contour" style). Right now the default is a "finished contour" label style for all surfaces.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created special dimension styles in Inventor 2013 in a drawing and trying to get them into another Inventor drawing. Can this be done like in Autocad by coping to the clip board and pasting into the new drawing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to assign different dimension styles to different sheets in an idw. I have idw drawings with several sheets and use a couple of different dimension styles depending on what is on each sheet. I've created the dimension styles I want to use but I don't know how to assign a dimension style to a specific sheet. For now what I am doing is dimensioning, then as needed for the dimensions that need a different style, right click on the dimension and select new dimension style to changes its dimension style. I would like to assign dimension styles to specific sheets, is there a way to do this? Even though borders, title blocks, etc. are the same throughout the sheets, do I need to create different sheet formats to do this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat's the best way to ensure that all the drawings for my project are updated if I make changes to the Style settings on one of them? I've been putting every sheet into a single drawing file, but now I'm up to about 50 sheets and it takes about 40 seconds for each save, even if I only made a single minor change since the last save. I don't have any iLogic that could be causing this.
So I'd like to split the sheets up into multiple.dwgs, but I want changes I make my Styles to be reflected in all drawings. Can I create an "external" stye file that all drawings pull their style from? Or will I have to export/import to each drawing every time I make a change?
It is possible to change a document style color with a VBA macro or why not with iLogic ?.
I regularly imports STEP and the parts have defined colors. Unfortunately for change must clear all colors of surfaces. By cons, if you edit the styles we see that for each color there is a style with the color name.
So basically if I change a color style, all parts using this style will change.
I needed to create new dimensioning styles - that I can do. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to apply them to a current drawing. In the Annotation section under Format there are no "styles" listed - not even the default.
So, how is one able to populate the list so one may choose a specific style or another? Or, is there somewhere else I should be looking?

In creating our drawing template, I collected alot of unwanted styles and want to delete/clean this up. I only want to keep what's highlighted..By the way, I found style editor and template creation quite tedious & convoluted.

Inside of the Style& Standard Editor (Manage-> Style editor) we use ANSI and a Company standard created off of ANSI.
But when I choose the filter to ALL STYLES, I can see JIS, DIN, All other unwanted styles. How can I get rid of them?
Do you all have them too? How do you get rid of them if you dint use them?

I've created a self-draining tube and pipe style for the first time. I find that in some routes only the self-draining style is available and in other routes it isn't available (i.e. in the drop down list or to activate in the styles dialog). What the rules are that allow non- or self-draining style selection?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I have migrated my template. Now when I start a new assembly, I get the "Styles Conflict" message. I could suppress it, but I'd rather not.I had rather that the file use the style definition in the style library. So I have to update the template with the new style definintion. Question is how to do that now in 2013?
I opened the template, then went to the Material Browser. In the righ hand pane, I picked the "Generic" material and then the up arrow (add material to document). I get a message that it already exists and the local copy will be used.
How do I get it to overwrite the local copy and use the styles definition in my library?
Styles in Inventor have always been confusing to me. I have ONE project file, ONE teplates folder, but TWO different drawing templates (one for single part drawings, one for assembly drawings). For simplicity sake, lets say the ONLY difference I want between the two drawing templates is the parts list. The assembly template parts list should have lets say one more column than the other.
I did what I thought should do it but it isn't working properly. What's the best way to accomplish this? Right now within the same style library I have two parts lists set up, and I have two "standards". The only difference between the two standards is which parts list box is checked on "available styles". When I change "object defaults" to onw parts list or the other, it changes that default for all drawing templates, not just the one I'm using.
When I try and migrate an old Inventor 2011 material library to Inventor 2013 using the migrate tool from the material browser I keep getting this error:
Migrate Legacy Color/Material Library: problems encountered while executing this command.
One or more color/material names were changed during the migration process.
I am in the middle of an upgrade from 2009 to 2012 and have a styles use question. I am running three flavors of Inventor: Inventor, Inventor Professional, Inventor Factory (based on Pro). The styles library that I am starting with was migrated from 2009 to 2012 and was running both IV series and Pro Seats. Although no real Pro functionality was ever used so any associated styles were still as delivered for the most part. My working environment is a single Vault project setup where all the styles and libraries are local copies on each workstations drive. All the standard content (styles and libraries) stay checked out to myself on my machine for protection.
So here is what I did to make an all inclusive styles library that all flavors of products will use. pick this apart if you see something wrong with the method.
1) I started with the migrated styles library from 2009
2) As I installed the different flavors I copied the new styles libraries over the existing migrated one without allowing it to "overwrite" any existing styles files. This only populated the styles libraries with any thing I was missing from any of the flavors.
3) I use this combined library on all station regardless of the flavor installed. So some stations have styles on them that are not in use by the installed software.
I am after a way of accessing the update styles on dwg so that I can run with rule below as most of our drawing stds have changed and old dwgs need updating the work flow is as follows.
I need to access manage tab then update styles,then yes to all,OKUpdate all sheetsfind all parts list within all sheet and then annotate , style on format tab and then select Parts list - this will change all my old parts list to current style definition.Either run at begining of code below or run as seperate code
