AutoCAD LT :: Attached PDF Prints Faded
Mar 12, 2012
I have some building department forms in pdf format that I have inserted into paperspace in a layout. They appear fine in layout view and in print preview.
But when I print the layout to pdf, the attached pdfs all print faded. The pdf (as an underlay) is set to fade = 0, contrast = 100. No transparency setting I can find. The layer transparency is 0 and the plot style is at 100% screening.
If I set the layout to *NOT* print transparencies, then the pdfs print dark as they should. But I sometimes use transparency for shading or poche, and would like to be able to use that and also have an inserted pdf print properly.
Is there a way to set pdf underlays to print at full density? I seem to remember finding a global setting for this once, but can't find it now.

I receive and update many drawings created by the same organization (using AutoCAD LT 2012). Often, when I plot to PDF, the lettering in the labels becomes faded (like every-other letter within the same word). I have tried all available pen assignments, and many different lineweights and fonts.

I have a problem I created some drawings and made them XREF everything works fine until i try plotting them, the objects that are on the main drawing plot just fine but the XREF for some reason comes out faded not as vivid as i would like them to be. I already updated the drivers for my plotted it's an HP Design Jet 1050c it's an old one but the problem only exits when plotting drawings with an XREF.

Is there any options for Xref files and/or attributes to screen down or fade down other than changing its color to gray?

When printing in AutoCAD 2011 when using the "DWG to PDF.pc3" printer, many lines in the resulting PDF are faded while others appear fine. I can zoom in and all the lines appear with the same weight. There are multiple layers on the drawing but all contain the same line weight and lines on the same layer appear with different weights.
This occurs on all AutoCAD files and all users. I have tried changing pin assignments with no success. Printing directly to Adobe PDF does not result in this issue but with each sheet of drawing being a different file this process uses a lot of time.

I need to illustrate a faded etch effect on a piece of glass. I've attached a sample image for reference. Is there a way to do this in Inventor?

Regarding the fuzzy, faded out text in the C3D Text Component Editor. (See this link) [URL] ....
Does really run Win7 with Clear Type Text disabled? We've tried that and with that disabled, everything else in Windows worse. I wish they would just fix this dialog in C3D.

How do you get an xref to appear faded when plotted onto paper?
I tried putting the xref's on their own layer and adjusted the transparency level.

I dont know whats going on, but all of a sudden all the prints i do to PDF have a washed out faded look about them.Now all those lines are on the same layer, set to print with the same pen thickness, so why does one appear bold and one hardly visible at all?

Xref in attached on a layer. Layer is locked. On the screen it looks faded.
Is there a setting so it doesn't look faded in options or elsewhere?
I have tried the Fade control under tab Display, but it is not effecting it

I'm running Map 2014 SP1 on my machine and the rest of the users in our organization are running Map 2013.
If I save a drawing back to a dwg 2010 version all is fine, but if I save the same drawing to a dwg 2013 version other users are not able to activate and query from it, even though they are otherwise still able to open and work with the drawing.

I am trying to clean up our drawing database and have run across several drawings that are showing external file references with a status of 'unreferenced'. During a scan early last week of all current revisions of our drawings (about 120000) we uncovered about 7500 drawings that don't quite cut the mustard as it pertains to the use of attachments. I have written a small .NET app that scans through my drawings, but I am having difficulty with one aspect of my probing.
I need to be able to open up an AutoCAD drawing, navigate to said drawings image dictionary, get a RasterImageDef from that dictionary, and then check to see what the 'status' of that drawing is. By 'status' I mean the status as reported in the External References dialog that appears when using the command 'xref'. In particular, I want to write out/show a message when I encounter a drawing with an attachment that has a status of 'Unreferenced', which I take to mean that the drawing was attached at one point, has been unloaded, but not properly detached.
My problem is that I can't seem to get to any property that shows that status. I have used ARXDBG to snoop the database and I can verify that I see the images still in the image dictionary, but not in the drawing itself. I also can't seem to get at thte status of the attachment. To compund the matter, everytime I try to inspect the RasterImageDef object I get, AutoCAD locks up and bombs out.
I am guessing I could get at what I need via C++/ObjectARX but I don't want to go that route if I dont have to. I have attached a snippet of the code I am currently using to scan through my drawings, not perfect or even pretty, but it works.

I have an access database attached to a blank drawing. The database is a list of existing oil wells. I want to have civil3d (or map) create a custom block (I already have the blocks created) inserted at a coordinate in the database and propagate the other fields in the database into attributes in the blocks. For instance, the first two fields in the database are the x and y. Some of the other fields in the database are the well status and company name. Is it possible for Map to read the first two fields to know where to put the block, then select the block to insert based on wells status and company name, and then complete attributes from the other fields (section, township, range, county, etc) into the block? I'm having a hard time getting my head wrapped around the map3d user's guide talking about topologies, link templates, object classifications, etc. Using Civil3D 2013 infrastructure design suite, Win 7 64-bit, office 64-bit.

Is there any way to change the names of attached images? I have many drawings that thas about 10 images attached to each drawing; I have to change the name of images and I would like to assign these renamed images to the images attached to the drawing. Is there any way? Or will I have to detach the images and then attach them again?

Updating the attached dwg (Xref),The file Q1 is attached to the file Q5 (attached). Edits are applied to the Q1. These edits are not transferred to the Q5 despite the fact that the “regenerate” button is pressed.
What might be the issue here? How the edits on the Xref files are reflected directly to where they are attached?

I'm experiencing a strange behavior when i import a DXF with a plugin for AutoCAD 2012, but only when i'm on Win7 64bits.
The plugin normally (in WinXP) would load the .dxf file, then if it has a reference for an ortophoto picture, it places the picture on the right place and "visible" (you'll get what i mean by this later).
On the other hand, on win7 64bits when i import the dxf file using the plugin, it only shows the frame of the picture, but no picture inside!
cadgis_1
But, if i close the file i just opened and open the .dxf using Autocad "default" open, on the layout the picture is showing just like it was supposed to...
Autocad_layout
So, now i've opened the .dxf using Autocad, let's try again to open it using the plugin and.... voilá! The picture is displayed, bright and shinny! A miracle i must say!
cadgis_2
And if i open it again using the "default" open from Autocad, not only it displays the picture on Layout but also on the Model!
Autocad_Model
I'll attach the dxf with the external .tiff file.

Tiff File
I wasn't able to upload the picture, so i've placed in a zip file and attached it to the post.

I would like to either move or copy individual ACAD files to another PC (though a server) without loosing all the pathways/ connections to external image files used in rendering, (these being mostly materials, graphics & logos relating to each individual ACAD file, not xrefs). Is it possible in ACAD 2005?

I've got a issue with working with images. I draw furniture full scale and sometimes it necessary to hard draw and scan the drawing and then attached the image in autocad and trace over the image in AutoCAD 2013. everything is fine until I attach the image, then it freezes with every move that I try to make. The images are around 700 kbs in size. Is there anything I can do or change some kind of setting?? btw. version 2004 doesn't have this problem.

I have a sketchedsymbol with leaderline. How can I get the BOM of the item this is attached to? I don't see any referenced way to do this. I assume it's possible because a balloon can get this info.
The full extent of what I want to do is to create a split balloon symbol. The top portion of the balloon with hold the detail number, the botton half will hold a user prompted text entry.

attach an image and hide it, but when the user take the mouse over the hidden image, he/she can see it, for example I want to send a daily report to my manager and I want to attach some Image in the drawing and hide it, But it can be seen by moseovering.

I've used the transitional constraints with good results but unfortunatley the cams are moving all over the place when I try to move them by dragging with the mouse and not very stable.
I'm trying to animate a couple of bodies along a path with a workpoint that will move the assembly at the beginning created using a rectangular array along the path. I have a UJ in the middle of the bodies attaching them together. As I change the distance of the rectangular array it will move the first body as expected. How I constrain the other body to follow along the path with the ride points as labeled?
I've trieds almost everything I think. Should I use dynamics to simulate this? I don't have the dynamic installed however is there a way I can get ahold of a test version so I can test this?

I have a drawing when attached into another drawing, the coordinates have an exact 500,000 shift in the X value and an exact 200,000 shift in the Y value. Directely in the drawing, the coords are correct. They just won't attach correctly.
I can tell that this drawing was not created with the dwt we use (it is missing certain styles) - I wonder if the dwt could be to blame.
Also, I have been trying to figure the Map functions out with no guidance, I wonder if I somehow changed the attach settings to cause the shift.

I have a drawing that has room spaces & tags attached to them. I can not figure out why there is an arc leading from the room tag to the space it is attached to. When I detach the room tag from the space, it disappears, but when I re-attach it, the arc from the tag to the space appears. How do you turn it off? I copied the space style from another file to over-write this one thru style manager, no luck...
