AutoCAD LT :: Non Autodesk DWG - Remains In Dwg Header Forever?
Oct 29, 2012
"Non Autodesk DWG. This DWG file was saved by a software application that was not developed or licensed by Autodesk. Autodesk cannot guarantee the application compatibility or integrity of this file."
In opening some drawings made by a Non-AutoDesk program, I get the above message. There does not appear to be any problem with the drawings, I can work with them no problem with AutoCad, but the message seems to remain even after saving the drawing with AutoCad.
I know that setting DWGCHECK to 0 can suppress the message, but is there a way of getting rid of the message for good.
Well, over a minute and it feels like forever. Working Smoke 2013 EXT1 with mostly soft imported material. In the past the size of the librarys had much affect on this but with the new lay out I can't see a way to limit the libraries as they are always in the side pannel. Is collapcing them stopping that library from being included in the auto save? This is only a 20 min show but I do have 3 in here and expect to have 10 before it's all said and done.
I am trying to recreate the remains of a viking house that was discovered during excavations in the center of Dublin. I want to recreate the conditions of the house from when it was found. A part of this would be to create the 'wattled walls.
How to create this wattling - should I be using the pipe or tube method? If so, is there a quick command for tubes/pipes that weave around each other? I have attached a pdf of the plan of one of these houses.
I have a profile view of a street surface which transitions from a 2.75% grade to -0.52%. I would like to add a vertical curve so I can add a label at the high point of the street. However when I create my vertical curve, the original PVI is still there and the surface uses the PVI's elevation rather than the vertical curve's.
How can I get the PVI to either go away or have the surface read the vertical curve below the PVI?
Now I have a question about Inventor. I try to write a program which opens a model, changes some dimensions and, then opens its drawing, updates it with changes made to model and after that converts it to DWG or DXF.
With SilentOperation set to false everythings works fine. I open a model, change it and every change is reflected in drawing automatically. The problem is in dialog boxes which appear after I try to open a drawing which references a model. Inventor offers to find a component to resolve reference as I think.
Okay, I used SilentOperation set to true to avoid this problem and after that no dialogs are shown. But when I change something in model it is absolutely impossible to force Inventor to reflect changes in drawing. I think that if open performs while SilentOperation is set to true it simply makes the drawing unconnected from model and there is no way to do it other than to supply the drawing with reference. But I don't know how to do that, because I have compared all fields of drawing which works to the one which doesn't and I've found no differences. I think that the only way to do this is only via dialog.
Every time I try to plot something with a PDF embedded it takes a very long time to spool and plot. Additionally, a PDF in the drawing slows it down so significantly it's almost not worth using..This happens whether the PDF is less than 1 MB or 50 MB...no difference. Has this been fixed in 2012? Why to PDF's do such a drain on system resources when they're such small files to begin with?
We have a large assembly that we've been trying to get details views off of and it's taking anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to create each detail view. IDW. We're using LOD and derived assemblies as it's 5000+ parts, but Inventor is simply bogging down and sucking system resources in the creation process. I've used every trick in the book that I know, butIt's taken me all day to get one drawing done.
I recently made the switch at work from AutoCAD 2000 to 2012. Right now I’m working with a small drawing and the copy paste option is taking forever, I wasn’t sure if it was the drawing so I went to a previous large file and that takes even longer.
I just converted a PDF file from a DWF file (from AutoCAD 2012). I also needed to print the PDF; unfortunatley, the PDF is taking forever to print.
This is what I did.
-I went under Plot-Model -Under the Printer/plotter, I clicked DWG to PDF.pc3 and click on Properties -Click under the Device and Document Settings tab -Click on Custom Properties -Click on Custom Properties buttom -Under the DWG to PDF PRoperties table, I click on Capture all under Font Handling -I uncheck Include Layer information under Additonal Output Setting -I click ok
When I begin to plot under Batch Plot, I also went and click on Publish Options, and on that table under Layer information, I click on Don't include.
For some reason, it's printing very slow. I don't know what other option I have in order the print faster.
Here's the files for you to look at just in case [URL] .....
I have a fairly simple 3D model in ACAD ARCH 2011. I am rendering it to a viewport on a layout that contains the company border / title block. If I render the model (presentation quality) to model space and send that to the printer (color laser) the print comes out in about 60 seconds or less. However, if I render the same image and quality to the viewport on the layout and send that to the printer, it takes between 10 and 15 minutes for the image to print. The layout is simple - just line workd border and title block. The images are identicla when finally printed.
Why does it take SOOOO much longer to print when with a layout as opposed to not with a layout? The rendering to screen takes the smae amount of time either way - it's just the printing procvess that is bogged down by using a layout.
As title says, I create a new Excel Data Link using "Data Link Manager" but it takes forever! If so, how can I get rid of waiting long time when creating/editing a Data Link?
I typically work in autocad with the Layer Properties Manager open on my other screen (dual screen setup). I have been having no problem with freezing and other layer management tasks on other files. But on a particular file, the simple task of freezing a layer takes 20 seconds. Other simple tasks like saving and switching to a layout sheet also take near 30 seconds. There only seems to be a few files that ever do this to me.
I have all xrefs updated and she'd purged and audited.
Also, does having the layer properties manager or properties manager dialogue windows open at all times dramatically complicate autocad's processes?
I made a document with two layers, one with lineart, and another below it with some background elements I tried to put a new layer over the two of them by clicking the Create New Layer button, and after placing an object in the layer, tried to set the layer to Multiply by clicking the sleection circle, then "Multiply" in the Transparency drop-down menu. Nothing happened.
I then tried to set the transparency of the objects themselves to Multiply by selecting them and changing their transparency. Nothing happened.
I am able to copy the lineart and background layer and paste them into a new document, and have subsequently created layers appear properly when I set them to Multiply, but I have been trying to figure out what I apparently "broke" so that the layers would not display correctly.
I have recently upgraded to 2013 FDS and now when I try to import Acad files (sometimes up to 2000 solids) it takes virtually a full day to import one file. When I had 2011 I could import these files much faster.
For six years I have been using a Nikon D 200, shooting in raw data this has always produced a 15.5 MB file which, after processing in Photoshop 3and 5 has saved as a 28.74MB TIFF file with an image size of 3872 x 2592. Since sometime between Jan. and late march 2013 the size of the TIFF file has changed to approximately 16.5MB with the RAW file size, image size and print quality, at A4 size, remaining unchanged. Reprocessing a save 15.5MB RAW file that previously converted to a 28.74 Tiff file now converts it to a 16.31MB Tiff.
I now have xscanimage running from a command line. I added a soft link from .gimp-2.6/plug-ins/ to /usr/bin/xcanimage and restarted gimp. In File/ Create the option for xscanimage remains greyed out. What must I do to make it active?
I recently purchased VSP4 and when capturing from Panasonic camera via fire wire, the preview window remains blank but capture is successful. I can preview video on LCD screen of camera but that is all. All the settings seem to be ok. (PAL). However, the options panel is greyed out except for insert to timeline option. Also, the video properties in the options panel are all greyed out. I have a previous version VS3 on another computer which shows the preview window OK on capture. Could this be the integrated video card in my new computer or is there something else going on here?

I have 3ds max 2014 design and had recently being trying out Vray.
I then uninstalled. Which went with no problems. However when I now right click mouse in viewport I see vray properties greyed out and it says missing beside them. These were the macro scripts that were removed.
How do I remove this greyed out text and any other remains left over from Vray uninstall?
In expert mode under the Layaout Tab at the bottom of the screen I can see seven options for layoutas of up to four pictures - all work except the "all floating" option which remins greyed out - what do I do to bring it into use - it is probably the most useful option !
I have created a table with C#. When I increase the table height the header/title rows are also geting increased. Autocad try to make all rows even with the same height. Is there a way that I can fix the Header /Title row height with C# ?
I'm following the steps in the following link from Adobe:

The final step, after selecting the folder I want to add, is to select Import. Except, the Import button remains grayed out. I'm not sure what to do in order to select Import and add the folder I already have.
I have a drawing with two parcel tables in it. I would like the header on one to be Line Table 1 and the other Line Table 2, is this possible? When I change the text in the style, the header in both change.
I want to be able to change the header on a PL in a drawing using iLogic.
I'm able to "find" the PL(s) on a drawing but can't seem to figure out how to access the header property My goal to to change the header to show the P/N of the assembly/part it's created from.
My Current code is below:
doc=ThisDrawing.Document oBOMs=doc.DrawingBOMs
For Each oBOM In oBOMs MessageBox.Show("Found a PL", "Title") Next oBom
In between the for/next loop is where I want to access the current BOM and change it's header depending on the related .iam/.ipt.
Is there a way for a table linked to a surface (ie. a volume table) to display the surface name in the header? There seem to be no options to do so and copy/pasting <[surface name]> into the header text box just returns a number, oddly.
I will have upwards of 40 surfaces and I don't want to have to manually edit each one!
Seems like a bizarre and simple omission seeing as the tables are dynamically linked to the surface anyway.
