AutoCAD Map 3D :: ArcSDE Connection Failure
Nov 5, 2012
We are experiencing an infuriating and time wasting problem with SDE connected data.Users are properly set up (all 64 bit .dlls installed into the proper folders) and are using Autocad Map 2012 or Civil 3d 2012 (64 bit).
This problem does not happen every time but all too often. It is erratic and unpredictable in how it occurs between users.
When a given user makes a .dwg with connected data mixed with Autocad entities (or not for that matter) they can connect and work on a drawing normally. Once the .dwg is saved, another user will attempt to open the file. A couple of things will occur. One a 'fatal error' may happen and Autocad will have to be restarted. The other, and more common, is that the Autocad entities will begin to show and then when it appears to try to make a connection to the SDE Autocad will hang (the 'spinning circle of death' appears. Again this does not happen every time but very often.
The workaround to to recover the .dwg file, which deletes all connections and connected data, and then re-build the connected data. however, once that .dwg is shared again the entire problem may well happen again.

Does Autocad Civil 3D 2011 can connect to ArcSDE 10, or do we need a higher version? When I put in the credentials, it errors and is asking about an sde91.dll.

Ive recently upgraded from AutoCAD map 2011 to 2012. But my connection to ArcSDE doesnt seems to work anymore.
My connection is the same as with 2011 using the pe.dll, sde.dll, sg.dll files.
Getting this message:
Unable to establish connection to provider.
FDO Provider entry point function 'CreateConnection' returned NULL.

I would like to connect a Map3D drawing to a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database hosted on a linux server on my network. In the past I have successfully connected to PostgreSQL/PostGIS when the server/db is running on the same Windows box where I am using AutoCAD. I've been able to do this with several combinations of Windows (XP/7/7x64)/PostgreSQL(8.4/9.1)/PostGIS (1.5/2.0) and AutoCAD Map (2013).
I have even been able to connect from one Windows PC running AutoCAD Map to a PostGIS database hosted on another Windows machine on the network, but not to a database hosted by a Linux server. When I try this from an XP workstation, the application (ACAD) immediately crashes without warning (this happens after I enter the connection information and try to "login"). On Windows 7, the application crash is almost as immediate, but it at least gives me an exit code error "FATAL ERROR: Unhandled e06d7363h Exception at..."
I've tried to view the postgres logs on the db server. I usually get one of these for each failure:
2013-05-31 10:53:42 EDT LOG: could not accept SSL connection: Connection reset by peer
I've tweaked the postgres file (pg_hba.conf) to allow non-ssl/ssl/etc to make sure that I don't have problems there. In fact, I have other GIS apps on the AutoCAD workstation that I use to test the PostGIS connectivity prior to trying AutoCAD. I've looked for other things like Antivirus/firewall that might be contributing, but I've come up empty. I've also tried using the newer "OGR FDO" providers from osgeo.org. I get the same behavior with those.
In short, how to be able to connect AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 to a non-Windows PostgreSQL/PostGIS host? How to get a successful connection.

I have yet to be able to connect to our ArcSDE database using 2011. In 2009 and 2010 Civil 3D I had to move 3.dll files from my ESRI directory to the FDO/bin directory for Civil 3D. This immediately allowed for a connection using CAD's Data Connect.

I frequently use ALT+TAB or CTRL+TAB to toggle between drawings open in one AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 session. It usually works great, until it doesn't. It will tease me by showing the desired drawing (for 3-30 seconds, without a command prompt) and then switch back to the one I wanted to leave. Once this problem occurs I use the QuickView button at the bottom of the screen to force the change. The appropriate drawing will be displayed but it still takes a while for the command prompt to appear (3-30 seconds). This problem is not drawing specific or session specific, and it cannot be predicted or reproduced on command. Is this a known issue or is my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 installation compromised somehow?

I have a rule controlled .idw with several rules that call each other and various API macros with views and partslists that all have their own rules.
I want the drawing to close itself without saving the changes after it's done executing all of its code (the end product is written to an excel sheet). Everything works beautiful, and the drawing does close itself like it's supposed to, except for some strange reason it throws an error message when it closes. I've tried a few different methods of closing it. The code below is what I want to use. I've tried it with close set to false as well (saving changes). I've also tried calling an API macro that's pretty similar looking. They all have the same result. The rest of the code executes just fine, and no errors are thrown if I comment out the code letting the document stay open.
I've even tried making a brand new virgin part, writing a rule with just the below code and executing it. The only difference is the error window is thrown from Inventor instead of windows.

I have been experiencing an intermittent problem with printing from my AutoCAD program.
Around 80% of my plotting tasks are sent to the printer and print correctly.
The other 20% print but only partially (they get anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3s through the plotting process then the remainder of the drawing is blank).
There does not seem to be any consistency to the fault i.e. it happens on different drawing files at different times.
When it does occur, there is nothing I can do to correct it. I have tried shutting all other programs down and doing no further work whilst the print is in progress but to no avail.
This is only a problem with AutoCAD and only some of the time.

The attached part has some bad work features on it, but I don't care about that (easy fix). It also contains a rule that simply changes the material from "P AND O" (pickles & oiled) to "201 S/S", for some reason the faulty work geometery causes this rule to throw an "unspecified error". If you delete the bad work geometry the rule runs fine.

failure to refresh Model Tree after switching configurations - app restart required
We have a user who is getting this message several times per day and must restart his PC. He is the only user of the Inventor Vault product using 2013. We have redone his laptop and and given him a clean laptop with a fresh install of AutoCAD.

see attached files. Have 40+ so far like this and can only seem to fix them by delinking derived sketches and then selecting sketch edit from design doctor and deleting geometry from unlinked old version of derived sketch presented. Have uninstalled SP1 and hope problem will not keep happening.
I would be interested to recover P15.ipt from its sick state. Have not had problem like this since I installed Inventor 2013 and lost a lot of work that could not be recovered until service pack was released.

I think this problem started after installing C3D 2012, and I don't think it's related to the UAC problems. I tried asking my reseller about it, but got no answer.
This happens with all projects that use Custom Coordinate Systems created in C3D 2011 or earlier. When opening the drawing and going into "Drawing Settings", I get this, and have to click seven times through the error box to finally have it do nothing:
Then, if I go back to Drawing Settings, I see this:
Notice how most of the dialog box settings are missing.
This stuff all worked fine for years, but seems to have gotten broken as soon as I installed C3D 2012, and is still broken in C3D 2013.

I've modelled part of a ship's deck, it consists of rather simple geometrich shapes(Plates, knee brackets and profiles).
However, when i model the assembly and do some negative extrusions in order to get the model how i want it, it leads to a face failure during mesh generation.

Periodically, when I try to create an XREF using the Relative Path option, C3D will tell me that it can't use the relative path. But if I then close the drawing and reopen it, the command works just fine. why C3D sometimes fails to do this, or why closing and reopening the drawing fixes the problem.
Never saw this problem before C3D 2012.

I have an Ipart I created and in some of the parts there is a swept feature. In other configurations it is suppressed.
The issue is that the 3D sketch for the sweep gets broken going to/from the configuration. The path is generated from an extruded cut that is also supressed.
I tried to recreate the sweep using a different sketch, but that wasn't successfull.
Is this a bug or is there a different aproach I can use?

I am trying to write code to set the active project across a network. In the code below I have hard written the address in to our main server named "Rusk" . It fails with an error message "The parameter is incorrect". I have tried this using a mapped drive as well with no luck.
I think it may be a permissions error, I am running Vista 64bit. Inventor version 12. If it is a permissions error, are there any sample code snippets out there I can use to set the permissions?
Public Sub SetActiveProject()
Dim ProjectID As String 'variable to hold Project ID
Dim ProjectAddress As String 'variable to hold an address path
'Verify the project ID is entered

I'm trying something I believe to be fairly basic: I'm trying to get some base mapping into my Map 3D drawing.
In particular, I need to get the World Street Map found here: [URL] ......
In Map, under Data Connections, I'm using "Add WMS Connection"
I give the connection a name, enter the Server name, and leave Version on "Default version"
I leave username and password blank.
But I always get the error message: "Failed to connect."
Do ESRI and AutoCAD just not play well together?

I'm trying to get connection to WMS; however after the connection is made, I don't get any layers in my list.
I've been trying many times, and the same result.
The situation is that the original Imagery were in LL84 and the provider transferred them to local CRS; since then I don't get any layers to view! Though I was able to see them before the transformation has made.

I've run into a problem with my "Jet.oledb.4" connection string not working for x64 machines. I've done some research and found out a few things, but am still confounded.
The code was written on a x86 XP machine with vb.net 2010 express. AutoCAD will load the dll just fine on x64 machines. Everything will work except the connection to the database. I tried installing the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable for x64, but couldn't because the MS Office installed is x86!! Instead I installed the x86 version, but got the same unhandled exception at runtime.
Do I need to have the current x86 MS Office uninstalled and then install the x64 version of MS Office on those machines? Is it that the code is compiled as x86? If so, how can I compile to x64? I didn't see any options in settings, and haven't been able to find any examples.
The thing I really don't understand is that the same connection string ( "Jet.oledb.4") works in an old VBA routine on all machines!!

I have a Sql Server 2008 R2 database with gis features. I can connect to it and add the features to a map when using Map 2012, but not with Map 2013, even with the Sql Server hotfix installed. In 2013 I can log in to sql server and see a grayed out list of the feature classes, but I can't add them to my maps, and I get a message about no spatial data found, (or something to that effect).

I've copied Standard CC libraries to read/write libraries and modified the tables. Mostly fasteners. I've prefixed the family name and family description with our company name. When I "place from content center", it's easy to see our content because the families are prefixed with our company name. However, when I use bolted connection, some of the families do not show our family name as a prefix like "place from content center" does. People constantly pick the wrong fasteners. They select fasteners without our Item number, etc. Then, they need to delete the fastener and try again. I can't seem to get bolted connection to show some fasteners with the company name prefix like Place from CC does. However, some families do show it.

Is it possible to break my bolted connection, so that i can change the information given by inventor in the BOM? Its always grayed out and i can`t seems to find a way to make it "ungrayed".
I could change it directly on the .idw but me and my project leader would like to not go on that road. Our teams are seperated in to two. Ones in charge of modeling & the other is in charge of the presentation. We would like to give, as much as possible, not to much leeway on those in charge of the presentation.
