AutoCAD LT :: Copy Some Data From Drawing 2 To Drawing 1
Nov 2, 2011
I have a user that is having a problem with two particular drawings within AutoCAD.
drawing 1 is 4MB
drawing 2 is 17MB
I believe he is attempting to copy some data from drawing 2 to drawing 1.
*nearly* Everytime he opens these two files and switches to 'Model' autocad crashes displaying the message -
--------------------------- AutoCAD LT Alert ---------------------------
AutoCAD LT cannot continue. You can attempt to save changes into the following file up to the start of the last command: S:****************
After you save your changes, you can open or recover the file.
Should AutoCAD LT try to save your changes?
--------------------------- Yes No ---------------------------

Eventually after I copy and paste with the clipboard enough times within one drawing, the ability goes away and I can no longer copy and past one item from one drawing to a separate drawing. I need to use the clipboard function because that is the only way of getting an item from one drawing to another.
I have download a clear clipboard function but it doesn't work. Closing CAD and restarting does not reinstate the function.

I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.

I am trying to copy and paste a surveyors drawing into a drawing I've been working on to place my building on the site for oreintation etc.
When I copy and from his drawing onto my clipboard and paste it into mine it is waaaayyyy small.
The scale his drawing says it is drawn in is 1:1
Mine is 1/4"=1'-0"
When I xreffed it into my drawing it did the same thing. What do I do?

I need to copy a layer from one drawing to another, the problem is that one of them is in model and the other one is in paper. The method I tried using was: I used the q select command to copy all objects from one layer on to the clipboard and then tried pasting it in the other drawing (which was in paper) - and nothing got pasted.

There is an error "Corrupted memory" when on several machines executing some code. I know the error is in the wblockcloneobjects from drawing A to drawing B.
The strange thing about this error is:
We have 6 computers with Civil and Autocad.
Some users have no errors at all.
Some people only errors when executing it in Civil, som only when executing it in Autocad, some have it in both.
This is almost a copy of the VB.NET sample from autodesk.
This is the code where it crashes:
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServicesImports Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServicesImports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Public Class Class1
<CommandMethod("TEST", CommandFlags.Session)>
Public Sub CopyObjecten()
Dim oAppCivilDWT As String = "C:TemplatesCivil.dwt"
Dim oAppAutocadDWT As String = "C:TemplatesAutocad.dwt"
Dim oAppMechanicalDWT As String = "C:TemplatesMechanical.dwt"
RunMyCode
[Code]...
All the modelpace objects needs to be copied to a template. (the full code does more stuff but this is the critical part)

I have a AutoCAD MAP drawing with the pipe size assigned as object data to various lines in the drawing.
Is it possible to display the pipe sizes as a text entity parallel to the line? How would I go about doing this. First prize would be if the value of the text changed whenever the object data is changed.

Can you take text from a drawing and export it out to excel? My thoughts are room numbers, employee names, department names, etc.
I need an excel spreadsheet showing this information to then upload to my CAFM Application? Is there an alternative to obtaining a report from a drawing?

How does the datalinks handle the links to the excel spreadsheet. I am drawing parcels from legal descriptions and would like to link each parcel to a spreadsheet with all the parcels data via a ID number. Then be able to click on that parcel and see the owner (the link). But my question is: do I have to give each link a new name to correspond with the parcel in order to see each parcel ownership?
And how many datalinks can a drawing handle.

I'm using this function to copy blocks from one drawing to another. It works in AutoCAD 2004, 2006 but I need to know whether will it work in AutoCAD 2010. This is the code that I use and my question is if I add these lines to check version is the method will work or not.
If Left(Application.Version, 2) = "18" Then
Set oDbx = GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.18")
End If
Here is the full program:
Private Sub CopyBlock(BlockName As String)
Dim oDbx As Object
' 2007 - 2009 ver.
If Left(Application.Version, 2) = "17" Then
Set oDbx = GetInterfaceObject("ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.17")
End If
[code]....

Is there a way to copy layers and all the objects associated with it from one drawing to another?
For ex: I am trying to copy office numbers and names (on one layer) from one drawing to another furniture plan drawing. Is there a way to import that layer and all the objects (the office numbers and names in this case) instead of copy/paste each object?

Is there a way to display and control the visibility of property set data next to a tag or object in model space?
For example, imagine a floor plan such as a large hotel with a lot of doors. It would be nice to be able to look at the plan and see which doors have had their property sets filled out and which ones have not; and, it would be great if the visibility of the property set data could be toggled on and off so as not to clutter up the drawing when not needed.

Is it possible to link / reference data from other drawings via labels? For instance, if I have a pipe network from a utility file and reference to a grading file. Could I add labels in that grading file that are from the utility drawing?
I want the pipe diameter minus the surface and maybe list an area of a parcel in one label?So I guess if you can take parts of the Civil 3D objects and tie that back to a general label type.

I imported survey data from a file into the drawing and created a surface from the points and figures. No problem. Engineer wanted to change the datum from assumed to known. At this point all figures have been copied to a new layer flattened and changed to 2D polylines in order to hatch. Then the figures reimported. I raised all the points with the edit datum and raised the figures with edit survey figures. Surface was adjusted and tweaked. Everything was fine. I open the drawing and all the figures are back at assumed datum and the points are on the right datum. Now when I tweak the surface it uses the bogus elevations from the figures. How can I get my figures to save the adjusted elevations?

I would like an VB application that from within autocad can open an excel file,from there select 2 columns containing x,y co-ordinates. Which when selected will draw a polyline in the acad drawing.
I usually do this the long way, but it seems I'm doing it more and more so would like to have it fairly automated.New to VBA and stuck at even opening the excel file....nevermind the actual selecting columns and drawing of the polyline!!!

I need to extract data from AutoCad Drawing using C# or VB.Net.
I have a Title Block which is not inserted using attributes. It has some horizontal & vertical lines drawn to look like a table and text added between them. See the attchment.
I need to extract data from that and display in Ms-Excel or in a datagridview.

I have a drawing that has erp data (somehow) attached to plain text (acadText). I have been unable to determine where this data is embedded or 'hidden" in the drawing - The attached drawing has three text entities, each with erp data attached.
Most of my VBA programming is in Inventor and my AutoCAD coding is not that strong. I have tried listing the text, browsed the drawing database (vLisp editor), tried the data extraction tool and run (entget (car (entsel))) and so far have been unable to find the embedded data.
I am trying to access the embedded data because the erp system updates the visible text with the BOM item number when the BOM is changed in the erp screen (which is very time consuming and a big pain), however this fails when our drafting guys take a shortcut and change the number manually. With multiple balloons, we cannot tell which one(s) have been changed manually. I am hoping to code a macro that displays the embedded data which can be compared to the visible text value.

I have a question. I have several 3d models i've set up with 3d blocks in each one. They're separate to cut down on drawing size. I want to create a database of blocks so to speak by copying all the blocks into one drawing. I tried going through Design Center to copy the blocks in, but it won't let me just copy them. Is there a simple way to do this?

You can't copy a sheet within a drawing to duplicate it. So, as a workaround, I saved a copy of the drawing to a different name and tried to copy a sheet back. Pick the view in the browser, right click, copy. Switch to the original drawing, right click paste in the browser. All I keep getting is an error "Invalid input for Request." I even think I remember getting this error before and finding a way around it.

Any issues when copying certain object within my drawing from one part of the drawing to another, after selecting the objects I want to copy, I select the destination point and I cannot see any of the objects that I am copying, the command stops working and then I cannot see any objects in my drawing at all....its like I am zoomed out all the way and nothing is in my drawing...I save the drawing as is (seeing nothing on my screen)...calling it up again and all my linework, etc. is there again...it has happened in two different drawings so far within the last few months, and these dwgs. are not linked to each other at all....

We installed 2013 version of Autodesk Civil3D, and strange things with Copy/Paste from one drawing to another happend!
If I try to copy some autocad objects like solid HATCH for ex,. from one file to another - I select drawing copy from, select Hatch, press Ctrl+C or rightclick > Clipboard > Copy, then select destination drawing, press Ctrl+V or rightclick > Clipboard > Paste, and I see in command window:
" _pasteclip Duplicate definition of block _Closed ignored.Duplicate definition of block _DotBlank ignored."The time interval is very long for single hatch copying.
I tryed audit/purge, and copying the HATCH again, - and now I see in destination drawing some strange array of LINE obects, it is not my HATCH! AutoCAD always starts do temporary save while doing this copy.
Else, if I open new two pure drawings, and start copy any types of acad objects between each other, so all works fine and quickly, no temporary saves, only remarkable pause starts above 20000 object copying, its quite acceptable for me, and still shorter time, than copy a single HATCH.
I suppose the problem is in drawing file, because if we make purge/audit than save and reopen drawing - sometines is it possible to copy, but after all we need to do this each time we want to copy acad objects to another file. This annoying issue have our another team members too, it prevents to do our job.
I found, that with HATCH object some blocks is ALWAYS copying from one file to another.
