AutoCAD LT :: Searchable Text In DWG Files
Jun 21, 2012
Is there a way to search for text through all the DWG files within a drive (note, not just within a file or a folder)?
we lost all data on a drive (a RAID, no less), and had to do a raw file search for files. So what we ended up with is a pile of files that the reconstruction software figures is a bunch of "word", "pdf", "excel" and ... "dwg" files, but no directory structure, no date, and _no_ file names!
We are able to search easily PDF, WORD, and EXCEL files, but not DWG files. We know about the search facility in AutoCAD (we are using LT 2012, soon to install 2013, but not before we deal with this issue since the file structure changed). We're on Windows 7, but aren't on a server.

I have been asked to plot my drawings to "PDF's that retain the text (as text) from the original design application. And then when the PDF is opened they can do a serach for a specific text"

Any method other than 'font mapping' to convert drawing file to PDF with text searchable feature. Because we are having huge repository of drawing files its difficult go back and do font mapping. Even its works for only at MTEXT.
So, any converter which converts the drawing file to PDF with text searchable PDF.

I have recently upgraded to Gimp 2.8.3 on my Mac OS Snow Leopard, primarily for the new "export to PDF" feature that would keep text searchable within PDF.
The results are very odd... The text in the exported PDF is, indeed, searchable and copyable, but the font size shrinks drastically (see attached screenshot).

Is there a way to insert a Ai graphic into msWord and the graphic text still be searchable in msWord? I would like the text in my Ai graphic to be searchable once the graphic is inserted in msWord. I have tried different Ai exports, but all come into msWord as pictures. Is there a way to keep the Text Layer in my Ai file searchable in msWord.

I've been banging my head on this for a couple days now and to no avail. I am accessing 2004 DWG files through AutoCAD 2013 in order to update dates and re-print to searchable PDFs for our facility team, however, I cannot get the DWG text (stand alone or room tag attribute) of the file to become searchable in Acrobat X. Being a 2004 file and due to previous manager decisions, all text in the DWG file is an SHX style, and I've attempted to change over to the True Type format in hopes that it would clear the issue up, but the base DWG file doesn't seem to agree with changing current fonts for either stand alone or within the ROOMTAG block itself. I've tried all settings in the Acrobat "convert to PDF" settings menu without success.
I'll be migrating all of our drawings into a Revit format for this effort next year so this is the last year for the "legacy" drawing files that have accumulated over the years...and I've already tested this in Revit with much success!

Freshly-installed Lightroom 5 stuck in "Preparing new searchable data" for hours.
Sure, I have tens of thousands of pictures, but why it takes so long and shows no progress?
It tried cancelling and starting over with no avail.

For many photographers the IPTC Extended fields play a big role in organizing and finding images. Therefore it is crucial that this information is searchable. But neither the Text filter nor the Metadata list filter make use of this metadata.
This should be implemented since not being able to use IPTC Extended metadata within Lightroom is a big disadvantage.

I have just downloaded and installed LR5. I have been using LR4/3/2 and have always successfully imported catalogs in the past. This time LR5 appears to do most of the work as a file almost the same size as the original LR4 catalog is created, but the "catalog upgrade in progress" message just freezes.Should I reinstall LR5?

How can I make my Photoshop (CS3) file info data searchable to a search by Windows XP Pro (a regular search, not Windows Desktop.)
Nothing I put into the keyword field comes up.
Is this possible to do? Or would I be better off using a different program to embed info? (Though I have to be able to find it with the regular Windows XP search.)

I use autocad (version 2002) to draw 2D drawings which I then engrave with a rabbit laser engraving unit (model RL-60-9060). The problem I have been experiencing is that in order to engrave these files I have to save my .dwg's as .dxf's which I then import into a program called (laser systems 5.3) when I import these files everything looks fine except for the text which is shifted (only in certain random areas and always to the right) I then have to look at the file very closely and move the text back where it should be, often missing something which makes me have to go through hours of sanding my metal down and repainting it before I can try again. Ive been told that I need to explode the text in autocad to correct the issue, however I have had no success doing this.

I would like to know if there is a way to match or import text from a file without doing the whole "double click, highlight, right click, import text, select folder, select text file" . Kind of how you Matchprop command when you select what you want to match. Maybe have it match from ToolPalettes? Or maybe an IMPORTTEXT lisp that you just have to type in the name of the file you want to bring in.
Example ... we have a 1632PNC screw that reads:
#14 X 4" HWH TEK III,
@ EACH SUPPORT
[1632PNC]
So lets say we want to change it to be a 3" and 1616PNC I would tell it to bring in the imported text from a folder where I have text files and pick the one that reads:
#14 X 3" HWH TEK III,
@ EACH SUPPORT
[1616PNC]

I am trying to use our standard room name block in two new files from a client but it is not showing up the way it is supposed to. It looks like a totally different font. I have checked the text options box and it says it's "romans", just like it is supposed to, but it does not look right. It also does it with regular mtext that I copy in from another file. Once I change it back it looks right, but when I pull it in, it defaults to Romans and @arialunicode MS. I'm assuminng that's what the block is doing as well, but how do I fix that?

Is it possible to modify .DXE files with a text editor?
I want to quickly find & replace the file paths DXE's are looking for (rather than run eattext every time I have a new drawing), but after opening in Notepad or Word AutoCAD displays error "...not valid extraction file."
BLK's were nice because files could be renamed and the schedule would still work. Now, the DXE will look for the old drawing rather than the one which has been renamed. Copying a file or using a template is impossible because you have to run eattext & create a new DXE every time the file name changes.

I'm using AutoCAD 2000 LT to generate DXF files to drive a CNC router for making panels for electronic equipment, which works fine.
I also want to export DXF files of text to engrave the panels. The router software from Step-Four says it needs the text exploded into objects (lines, curves etc) before importing the DXF file. How do I explode the text in AutoCAD for the DXF files?

I've recently upgraded to Corel Draw X5 having used many previous versions (back to Corel 6) but i'm having a few issues when importing .EPS files.
I normally do a design in AutoCAD, then export to .eps, then import into Corel.
Im finding an issue though, when I import an EPS that contains text, the middle section of the text will not combine and fill correctly.
For example, if I were to import a letter "Q" when I then combine the outer section to the middle section in previous versions the letter would appear normally, with a "Hollow" inner section. However, in X5, I combine the letter and the inner section does not combine with the outer section, leaving me with a solid black symbol, with the outline of a letter "Q" but no centre piece to define the actual character.

I am using Illustrator CC. My business partner is in CS6. When we save files to .pdfs or legacy versions, we lose the ability to use the character pallete. I can't change leading or use kerning tools. I am able to select the text box, and change letters, but that's it. I can't go in and select a line, and then change the leading. I can't select a line to change the kerning. When I open the version that my partner's worked on in CS6, I save it as a cc file. I'm not sure why we're losing all the editing capability. The box for "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" is checked. We have always had different versions of Illustrator for the last 6 years we've worked together, and this hasn't ever been a problem.

I am taking a long shot at this because I know its possible, but I cant seem to figure out how to do it. My problem is that I have a lot of resturants clients who have different menu (take out, dine in, delivery) that contain the same items over and over agian. Problem is that if there is a change in one you have to manually change it in other menus. I am wondering if there is a way to setup these menus where you change the text in one file (doc, txt, rft, incopy or whatever)? BUT the tricky part is that, each of these files have its own indepdent text & paragraph styles and that cant be disturb by the edits.

I downloaded an EPS image from Shutterstock assuming that I'd be able to replace the placeholder Latin text with my own words via Illustrator. Since then, I've learned from both StackExchange and this forum that the text in Shutterstock images is actually an uneditable "outline" and there's therefore no easy way to replace the sample text with useable text, nor is there a way to reverse-engineer which fonts/sizes were used in the original. This obviously makes Shutterstock images a lot less useful (glad I didn't subscribe!).
Are there any other Shutterstock-like services out there that sell stock EPS images that actually allow you to edit the text?
Attached is a screenshot of the EPS file that I downloaded:
As you can see from the image, I'm just trying to find an aesthetically appealing template for use on a web site that illustrates "three easy steps." I have no graphic design experience. I do have a trial of Illustrator though.
