I received a drawing from an outside contractor that uses something with proxy entities. I can see them just fine on the screen but when I try to plot the drawing they disappear. It also came from a newer version so I had to use the DWG True View to convert it if that may have caused my issue.
View 5 RepliesI recently received an autocad drawing with a number proxy entities in it. They exploded ok. However by exploding them am I losing any properties that may be useful. And what really are proxy entities?
View 7 Replies View RelatedOur 50% plots don't print some entities. They plot fine at 100%. This occurs across multiple workstations. I first made sure that all the systems were updated with the latest updates and that the plotter driver was updated to see if that would fix it. No change. All workstations have Revit 2012 with update #2. Printing to and OCE TDS600 with the newest driver.

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.
want to upated attributes in proxy entity is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to plot a drawing with a 3d shape and a title block around it. I would like for the occluded lines to not be drawn therefore I'm using the hidden visual style and set shade plot to hidden as well.
My problem arises from the quality of the plot to PDF versus the quality coming out of a printer. It is just a 8.5x11 page. The pdf comes out with horrible anti-aliasing and jagged lines, whereas the print is entirely smooth. Is there something simple I'm missing? It would be even better to find a way to make the plot to PDF come out in vector format! I know it is possible to show the layers and have them vectorized in a PDF... How is this done?

How do i turn this message off? (permanently)
P.S. It just happened recently since the IT guy changed some variables on my machine, but no clue what variables he changed?
I am working with AutoCAD 2012 LT and initially received a message concerning proxy graphics that listed a number of options for viewing when opening a drawing from another source (that was from another and another, etc). At that time, I believe I chose show proxy graphics, however, I can no longer get that original message to appear, which I think told me which enablers were missing. I now get a message regarding the drawing to be compatible by exploding AEC objects or loading proxy objects enabler. I am stuck, walls have text in them, doors are shown closed.
- I have tried opening the original file again, but no longer receive the original proxy graphics message, just the New version of objects in drawing message. Can I ever get the original message back, have I somehow changed my settings?
-If I change the settings for proxyshow or proxygraphics, these items will disappear.
-How do I know which enabler to use?
I’ve already tried to purge and audit the file and delete every object that I can find that may be a proxy but it still shows up every time I open the file
Is there any way for me to QSELECT or remove the object that is causing me problems
I do have the enablers on so I can see the object problem is there so many objects I don’t know where to start looking.
Most individual want to remove the Proxy Information Dialog Box. I already understand how to turn this off PROXYSHOW/PROXYNOTICE/PROXYGRAPHICS. What I'd like to know is where the data that is displayed in the Proxy Information Dialog Box comes from? Is there a way to get this information after the fact (as in, after I've closed the dialog box, but while the current drawing is open)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOur office has upgraded to new Windows 7 computers with AutoCAD 2013.
For the last (3) years, we have had an RTEXT in our titleblock file that shows the path, file name, date, and time. This RTEXT thingy was originally copied from a consultants file to ours. The titleblock file is x-reffed to the other sheet files, and has been working fine in all files until the upgrade.
Now, when we open a file, the only thing that is shown for the RTEXT is the bounding box. This happens on all of our computers. The express tools are installed. If I type RTEXT > [enter], it displays correctly and will work fine ... until the CAD is shut down. If it is re-opened, once again, just the bounding box.
Typing the command every time I open the file is a nuisance for me, and is something that others in the office would never get used to doing.
Most of the drawings I work in have proxy graphics. Is there a way to set the default to "Show Proxy Graphics" so I don't have the Proxy Information box come up every time I open a drawing?

The error didn't originally occur on the old machine, but after re-installing it on that machine, we get it there too. Is there a way to clear the error or find out which plugin we are missing? We have tried installing the plugins on the autodesk website, but weren't able to fix the error.

Proxy Information
The drawing you have opened or referenced contains custom object created by an unavailable ObjcectARX application. You do not need the original application to display proxy representations of objects that were saved in the drawing. However, many manufacturers, including Autodesk, provide object enablers that also allow you to edit these custom objects.
Visit the AutoCad LT Object Enabler Assistant web page to locate Autodesk object enablers or contact the software publisher about object enablers for other applications.
Note: If your computer has internet access, verify that Check Web for Live Enablers is selected in the Options dialog box on the System tab to have AutoCAD LT automatically search for the Live Enabler website for the appropriate object enabler.

why we're getting the above message?
We have two floor plans in separate DWG files. We just want to either combine them or copy our key to the other.
I'm working on mating two assemblies together by work points on a part inside of them. Here is the code I'm using. It worked with work planes, but when repurposed it to work points, I get a type mismatch when the code tries to generate the work point proxies:
Dim oPartPoint1 As WorkPoint oPartPoint1 = oOcc1.Definition.WorkPoints.Item("botMatePoint") Dim oPartPoint2 As WorkPoint oPartPoint2 = oOcc2.Definition.WorkPoints.Item("matePoint") Dim oAsmPoint1 As WorkPointProxy oOcc1.CreateGeometryProxy(oPartPoint1, oAsmPoint1) Dim oAsmPoint2 As WorkPointProxy oOcc2.CreateGeometryProxy(oPartPoint2, oAsmPoint2)
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.

CreateGeometryProxy(OriginWorkplane, TargetWorkPlanProxy)
Now, I want to look into the assembly Constraints and want to get the origin Work plane of the component. So, I now, it's the entity One of a specific Constraint I also now.
What I get is a Face Proxy (the EntityOne gives back a FaceProxy). But how can I get the Workplane, the Proxy Element once was created?
I can get the Surface Body the Work plane was created on, but I don't get the name of the Workplane. My target is, to get the name of the work plane.
I have several hundred drawings that I needed to update the Title Block on. I used Toolpac to Redefine the blocks, then Scriptpro to run a simple script to ATTSYNC the blocks. This was all done in AutoCAD Map 3D 2012. Now, when my users open the drawings with AutoCAD LT 2012, they get a proxy graphics warning. I opened a drawing in AutoCAD 2012 as well and the proxy warning came up there too so I know it's not just LT. I assume it has to do with AutoCAD Map, however when I've run the same sort of processes (updating title block) from the command line in Map 3D, the proxy graphics aren't introduced.
I am unsure how to determine what proxy graphic was introduced. I've tried a lsp to delete the proxy but it says none was found.

looking for a way to read in the DXF data for a surface entity in AutoCAD2012. There's plenty on reading in simple objects (e.g. 3DFace, Points, etc.) but nothing on surfaces. The data itself is also not as intuitive as I would have hoped. The DXF reference PDF from AutoDesk shows 7 possible unique entries and the data I need is most likely stored in the proprietary data. So, in short I know where it is but how can I read it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow could I get the ObjectIdCollection of all entities (points, polyline) in a certain layer?
I am using the following code at this moment.
private ObjectIdCollection GetEntitiesOnLayer(string layerName)
{
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
TypedValue[] tvs = new TypedValue[1] { new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.LayerName, layerName) };
SelectionFilter sf = new SelectionFilter(tvs);
PromptSelectionResult psr = ed.SelectAll(sf);
[code]....
But it seems the function fetches more ObjectId than I expected.For example, if I draw 3 points and 2 polylines in "A" layer.
ObjectIdCollection obc = GetEntitiesOnLayer("A");
int i = obc.Count;
I was expecting i to be 5 (3 points and 2 polylines), but i seems to be more than 5.
I have the dialog window with the settings for entities graphical appearance used in my plugin.
My goal is to create the same preview as AutoCAD dimension style manager dialog has, the dynamic thumbnail of the entities while user changes the settings in dialog.
Probably one option is to create temporary block (created based on data from settings dialog) and then use BlockTableRecord.PreviewIcon, but I am not sure if there is some other way.

I don't want the user to select the entities, instead I loop through the whole drawing.
