AutoCAD LT :: Hatch Message - Proxy Metafile Contains Bounding Box / Not Exploded

Dec 3, 2013

why, when I try to hatch something, I get a message saying "Proxy metafile contains bounding box. Not exploded".  Nothing happens until I escape, and then I'm back to where I started with nothing hatched.  I have other drawings xreferenced into mine, but I am not using them as the hatch boundaries.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Message When Remove Hatch

Jun 27, 2012

I have the following code to delete all hatch in a drawing. At the end of the command there is a notice that all hatch have been eliminated.

However, the last message displayed is: "Hatch boundary associativity removed".

(defun c:deletehatch ( / d l )(vl-load-com) (setq d (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vlax-for a (vla-get-layers d)(if (eq :vlax-true (vla-get-lock a))(progn(vla-put-lock a :vlax-false)(setq l (cons a l)) ) ) ) (vlax-for b (vla-get-blocks d)(if (eq :vlax-false (vla-get-isxref b)) (vlax-for o b (if (wcmatch (vla-get-objectname o) "AcDbHatch")(vla-delete o)) ) ) ) (foreach a l (vla-put-lock a :vlax-true)) (vla-regen d acallviewports) (princ (strcat "All HATCH have been removed")) (princ))

VideoStudio :: Smart Proxy Deletes Proxy File On Sleep

Jan 21, 2013

Mediastudio 5 pro ultimate
Win7 64
AMD 960T on six cores
Asus M5A78L M LX +
8 GB
HD 3000 integrated graphics
OS is installed on a 128 MB SSD
Project target file is on a 500GB WD Blue.

I have ripped a Blue Ray DVD as an .m2t, at an average bit rate of about 18.5 Mb/sec, with a resulting file size of over 16GB. Needles to say this file bogs the machine when not running the proxy. When I finish a session and close the program, the proxy file is gone the next time I open the project. The same thing happens when the machine goes to sleep with the project open. I have to either slog through working directly on the project without the proxy while it slowly rebuilds, or wait a couple of hours for the rebuild to complete.

Any way to stop the file from being deleted? I went to power options and selected never, but the next day it was gone again.

Another thing would be to increase the speed of the proxy creation, as it only uses about 20% of the CPU. Better to get it done faster... I have tried raising the priority of the process to high with little if any change.

Photoshop :: Enhanced Metafile/Transparent Sections

Feb 18, 2005

I have a simple GIF image in Photoshop 6 that is a line drawing of New York State. The background is transparent, the ouline is black, and the interior is white. I want to use this image in another application (FormDocs), but there is no way I can insert it with the transparent background.

FormDoc says that transparency is only supported if the image is Enhanced Metafile and if PhotoShop can save it as an Enhanced Metafile with transparent sections, FormDocs can properly display it. This file format is not available in Photoshop's Save As drop-down and no Copy - Paste Special combination works. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get this image into FormDocs with a transparent background.

I've been through the Help files, all the menus, etc. Although I'm relatively experienced with PC applications, Photoshop is a very complex application for a person who does not use it on a daily basis and who is not graphics-savvy.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Exploded Blocks Way Too Big

May 14, 2013

I am inserting some mechanical changes into my master drawing (updating my as built drawing). I copy with base point the hvac changes, I paste into the master drawing and all is cool; the block looks fine. When I explode the block, the text and some hvac blocks (like elbows with attribute) are way out off scale, like way bigger than they should be.I don't get it.

I am trying to entmake a hatch entity from a hatch template.

After entget the template hatch entity, i get the followings

Select object: ((-1 . <Entity name: 7ed11b78>) (0 . "HATCH") (330 . <Entity

[code]....

Now I  wrote the following code using the above data as follows

(entmake (list (cons 0 "HATCH") (cons 67 0) (cons 410 "Model") (cons 8 "SECTION-LABEL") (cons 62 255) (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0)) (cons 210 (list 0.0 0.0 1.0)) (cons 2 "SOLID") (cons 70 1) (cons 71 0) (cons 91 1) (cons 92 1) (cons 93 8) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt1) (cons 11 pt2) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt2) (cons 11 pt3) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt3) (cons 11 pt4) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt4) (cons 11 pt5) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt5) (cons 11 pt6) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt6) (cons 11 pt7) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt7) (cons 11 pt8) (cons 72 1) (cons 10 pt8) (cons 11 pt1) (cons 97 0) (cons 75 0) (cons 76 1) (cons 98 1) (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0)) (cons 450 0) (cons 451 0) (cons 460 0.0) (cons 461 0.0) (cons 452 1) (cons 462 1.0) (cons 453 2) (cons 463 0.0) (cons 63 5) (cons 421 255) (cons 463 1.0) (cons 63 7) (cons 470 "LINEAR")))

The point variables pt1, pt2....pt8 are all defined. But when I run the code the hatch is not being created? Why?

AutoCad :: Change Hatch From ANSI31 To GRAVEL Some Of Hatch Shows Outside Boundary

Aug 24, 2011

I have a hatch (ANSI31) enclosed by a closed polyline. Whenever I change the hatch from ANSI31 to GRAVEL some of the hatch shows up outside the boundary. The Polyline consists of both arcs and line segments, and the hatching errors are occurring within the radius of the arc segments. Changing it from Associative to Non Associative makes no change.

I am using AutoCAD 2011.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Exploded Text Keeps Disappearing

Jul 16, 2013

I'm using AutoCAD 2013.  I need to explode text so that it will appear as line work, otherwise my surveying instrument won't display it. 

When i use the express tools explode text command, the text disappears, this message is shown in the command bar

"The line objects have been placed on layer 0."

However, there is nothing on layer zero. Might this have something to do with missing shape files, or can AutoCAD only explode certain simple forms of text?

How to edit the explode steps in an explode file?  I have created an exploded view of an assembly, only I have edited the assembly by adding a whole bunch of fasteners etc.  Now I want to go into the explode file and add the extra components to the related exploded steps - only there is no steps to add the new components too, each component is on its own.  The functionality I am talking about is a sw thing and there is probably another process to do this, or a work around.

Jan 27, 2012

I am trying to create an exploded view for the first time in Inventor. In trying to follow these directions from the help file.

First I had to customize my ribbon to add these commands because I cannot find the "Presentations"  tab.

Next when I inserted these commands into a user commands portion, they were greyed out.  I am trying to do this in assembly mode.  I assume that is where it should be done.

AutoCad 2D :: Search / Replace Exploded Blocks

Jun 8, 2012

We received a drawing in which every single block has been exploded, they are just a bunch of polylines now. The company we received it from says they don't have a drawing with the original blocks...sure... The long and the short of it is that we need to replace every exploded block with our standard blocks. Is there some crazy way to search and replace a pattern of lines or basically, search and replace the exploded blocks. A lisp routine, anything. There are thousands of exploded blocks by the way, thousands.

AutoCad 3D :: Creating Exploded View Of A Model

Nov 23, 2012

I have made a 3d model of my balcony by simply extruding the steel profiles I used in my sections. I then used the union command to join them all together.

I now think and exploded isometric may be the better way to present the drawing but as I have now made the frame all one element what is the best way to seperate it?

the corners I think will be easy I just create a planar at 45 degrees and use that to split the corners but is there an easy way to seperate the mid PFC and angle?

AutoCad :: Exportlayout Dimensions Are Large And Exploded

Feb 11, 2013

When I try the "Exportlayout" command with Autocad, some of my dimension are exploded and scaled, scaled much larger then is needed. Autodesk help says the following: "Dimensions that exceed the boundaries of the layout viewport are exploded." So I've been looking at this, but it is not the solution. At least thats how I see it. The dimensions are clearly not exceeding the boundarie of the layout viewport and therefore should act normal.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Missing Hatch Patterns In Hatch Library?

AutoCAD .NET :: Block Reference Hatch - Deleting Loops Within A Hatch

Feb 22, 2013

I want to be able to add a Block Reference to a hatch. I'm adding the block reference to an ObjectIdCollection and the hatch is not taking it when using AddLoop().

So I thought maybe I needed to add the location of the polyline (curve-like) object that is member of the blockreference to the hatch, but I don't know how to get its ObjectId.
 
Hatch thisHatch = new Hatch();thisHatch.Layer = layerName;thisHatch.SetDatabaseDefaults();thisHatch.SetHatchPattern(patternType, patterName);thisHatch.Color = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByColor, colorIndex);thisHatch.Transparency = new Transparency((Byte)(255 * (100 - 60) / 100));tSpace.AppendEntity(thisHatch);transaction.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(thisHatch, [code]........

Also, I'm trying to delete certain HatchLoop that is associated to a polyline but I don't know how to do it. I'm going through the loops in the hatch but I don't know what to do there. I wanna do this so I create a new and different hatch on top.

I think one could also copy all the loops except the one one wants to delete, but I'm not sure how to tell which one is the one I want to delete that is the one associated to a polyline or that is in certain region.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Exploded View Of Assembly

Feb 19, 2013

I need to create an exploded view of an assembly to show how it's supposed to be put together.  "Hey, why not use the slick presentation feature in Inventor?  I've already got the model!"  It's not working out to be that slick.

Outlined in red, is the "wrong" trail that Inventor put in by default.  I added the highlighted trail, which is what I want and reflects how things actually go together.  How do I get rid of the one I don't want?  Hide turns off both of them.  Delete deletes the tweak.  All I've found was a workaround where I hide the line in the drawing.

AutoCAD LT :: Exploded Dimensions In 2014 Changing Appearance?

Oct 31, 2013

We recently added one license of LT 2014, and the Explode command works differently than before with dimensions.

Using the standard filled arrowhead, the arrows now explode into unfilled triangles.  In past versions it's always exploded into the filled arrowhead, just like it was when created. 

Can't find any option to alter the way Explode works.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Exploded View Trails Display

Jan 9, 2014

Our company recently made a huge leap forward moving from Inventor 11 to Inventor 2014. We have found an issue with Tweak Trails that we cannot seem to get resolved.

The trails are displaying on "top" of the assembly geometry in both the IPN and the IDW files. For instance if I pull a shaft our of normal position, the trail will display completely over the holding piece, instead of "disappearing" as it goes into the hole. I have a picture below that shows what we are experiencing.

Notice that the trail shown on the shaft is visible on "top" of the shaft, as well as the mating pieces geometry. We were used to seeing the trail "under" the model geometry, and only visible from the end of the shaft into the hole. Is it possible to get this visualization style back?!?

I sometimes have multiple hatch patterns and scales, and wanted a quick way to go from one to another without lisp help.
