We are moving from 2006 AutoCAD Map to 2013 Map 3D. When I do an overlay of files in 2013 Map 3D which was (X-REF) in 2006 the files don’t align, some do some don’t. I didn’t have that problem in 2006 or any other software. I have tried adding a coordinate system to the file to see if it mattered but it didnt unless I'm doing it wrong. I have just started working with 2013 Map 3D,

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a big issue where half our users can't open autocad. We have half running 2013 and half running 2006. For our 2013 users we've gone to our start menu and reset settings to default. and then just re-loaded our custom menus. How can I reset Autocad 2006 to default if I can't open Autocad?
We need to get people up and running.
I am sure this is a setvar that has somehow gotten switched on, but when I copy entities to a point on a line or object, it seems to bind or attach itself to that line/object. So when I try & move or stretch the entity, the line or object that I used as a ref point also moves.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know DXF files can be saved as DWGs then used as XREFs but that isn't the goal we want to achieve.
We are a big steel fabrication shop and we run a plasma machine that accepts DXF files. What we want to do is be able to draw our parts as a DXF ready for the plasma then XREF them into an overall drawing to assure all of our pieces line up. Each piece will be a separate DXF.
We want them to be XREFs so that if one needs to be manipulated it can be done on the spot without having to reattach a block. The more files you have to open and manipulate the more room for error.
The only way I can come up with is to draw all pieces as individual DWG files, then XREF each one into their own DXF file as well as XREFing them all into an overall file to check that they all line up.
Can I apply the meta data to the files when I am not connected to the physical storage place of the files? Are the meta data stored in the catalogue or are they somehow connected to the actual data file??

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm using Autocad LT 2006.
im having wired situation where all the geometry are appear in Layout mode but not in Model mode. i've tried to zoom extents but nothing.
there were lots of layers that been frozen, i unfroze them and they all appear , but again only in the Layout mode.
in the Model mode, i can see that all layers are tagged as frozen, but i cant unfreeze them.
i guess if i can unfreeze them i can see them in the Model mode.
Is there a way to connect Map 3D 2006 to an ArcIMS database, and view the data as a raster image overlay? This would be a very useful capability, but although I've come across ways of connecting directly to the ArcSDE server, I can't find any way of viewing data from ArcIMS.

It is possible to save from AutoCAD 2012 Mechanical back to REGULAR AutoCAD 2006 Lite? I am updating files on my computer with 2012 Mechanical but have to email them back to the original computer (which only has AutoCAD Lite) to print them out. I wouldn't think it would matter if the save format is AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 as long as it is still a .dwg file, correct?

View 5 Replies View Related3 out of every 4 times I select a hatch, to edit properties or delete, AutoCAD gives me the FATAL ERROR message and cannot continue. It is not just in one file, but in any file from what I can tell. Not just imported hatches either, AutoCAD standard hatches as well. I have reinstalled, downloaded whatever service pack I could find. This is so harmful to productivity.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe recently updated all of our software at my company from 2010 architectural desktop to 2013 autocad. We do a lot of architectural work where we use the "wall" functions to draw our floorplans. I have noticed that the walls are disappearing on some files and not on others. Or we will only be able to see the outside line of the wall, but not the interior, which results in an undesirable appearance to the floorplans.
I have also run across these error messages when opening the files, I dont know if they are related or not:
"Unhandled exception C0000005 (access violation reading 0xffffffff) at address E43AA180h"
and

I have been sent some drawings with came in 2 zip files. 1 zip contains the floorplans. the other contains the sheets.
if i load the sheet, it will tell me the drawing is missing in a pop up box with a status of "not found". i f i try to attach it nothing happens.
I have a main drawing that I want to pull into another drawing as an XRef. When I try and attach the drawing as an attachment I get then message *Invalid* in the command line.
I have taken the drawings off the network and put them directly on my computer to make sure that it is not a network issue, but I still cannot attach the drawing.
How do I attach text to a balloon? For example, I want to add the text "2X" alongside the balloon to denote that there are 2 instances of this part.
I can't believe that you need to make a text box each and every time you need to do this! There has to be a simpler way.
