I am trying to create a new coordinate category using the "Coordinate System Category Manager". However, I get this message "Cannot add category to dictionary". I just want to put a couple of defined coordinate systems in a category so they'll be much easier to find.

I am a new user of civil 3D 2012. How to write a new coordinate category in my computer.
I am using a 64 bit windows 7 and everytime I attempt to write a new coordinate system category it always display the words " no access to write to the dictionary".
Is there a Family Category that allows me to create an Extrusion that will then work with the “Attach Top/Base” tool?
For example, instead of using a structural column, I would instead like to use a Model In-Place Extrusion, then be able to attach these columns to my roof.
I’m noticing you don’t get the option to “Attach Top/Base” when you use a Model In-Place Extrusion.
Can I have a category album, then an album, then a third step down of sub-albums within the album for, say, grouping separately different ports of call when cruising? My (very old) PhotoshopElements could do this but unfortunately was not compatible with my new Windows 8 pc so I had to get Elements 12.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am facing a problem here: I need to create an explanation of a 3D model (means there is x, y, and z coordinate) in 2D terms.
The base shape is something like this: [URL] ........
What I want to show is the part where the lines are joint. There is a lot of angle involved, the standard polygon angle and the dihedral angle.
What I want to show is the dihedral angle, around the joint but no lines are actually parallel to any of the axis. Therefore, how to explain properly this part to layman (contractor, client, etc).
I tried researching using the keyword "3D CAD drawing", and "3D Detail Drawing" but nothing comes to fruition.
A - Autodesk will fix them in a timely fashion during this release - Not holding my breath here
B - Others won't spend hours trying to figure it out.
In my case, I need to create multiple unique coordinate systems called Low Distortion Projections (Google it for explanation.)
Here are the problems identified so far with the 2012 version of the Coordinate Library
Coordinate System Categories
1 - The regional 'containers' that hold coordinate systems definitions. You cannot create an empty container. It requires at least 1 coordinate system definition to be created. When creating a container put an arbitrary coordinate system definition in. This assists with item 2b.
Coordinate System Definitions
2a - Getting started - There is no provision to just select an existing datum or ellipsoid. One must 'create' a new definition that may vary in name only. The vast majority of us using their products will not actually create new ellipsoids or datums just utilizing them as the basis for other projections.
2b - Creating definition - Continuing the definition process the definition needs to be placed in a coordinate system category. Due to the problems identified in item 1 this creates a circular error. The workaround being item 1 rather than creating multiple definitions in the wrong container then going back to fix them.
2c - Scale Reduction - This should be renamed to Scale Factor to fit with the rest of the known world as the value can be greater or less than unity (1.000000) In my case the values all happen to be something greater than 1. While on this subject, the autodesk programmers set this to do something totally unexpected. No matter what you set the value to, if you save and reedit the projection value will be displayed as '1'
2d - Missing Projection definition form data - I went through the projection definitions and found the following projection types were missing their fields in the form:
Oblique Mercator

When creating new category, there's Parameter tab for creating new parameters. Now when publishing iPart, created category parameters must be mapped to family table columns. But why? What are they used for?

Fasteners->Pins->Clevis Pins->Clevis Pins With Head
Is it possible to change the copied families location, for example.
Fasteners->standard parts
Is it possible or can I only move it if I republish it, but I can't do that because I don't have the part.
I would like to create a new category in content center. I couldn't find any support. How to create it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding to modify category in a user library. I have to publish a part into a special category in Inventor 2012. These category asks for an Parameter which doesn't exist in my part. Actually is an absolutely useless Parameter so i want to delete it from category. The category was created by an user but i don't know how to delete the parameter. Only if i create a new Category i can change the category-properties just till its created.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSince i get around with the content center i am making our own custom frames and parts.
Now i have made a new category in the structural shapes category with all our own standards. Because we're using some of the standard DIN EN 10210-2 pipes i want to copy this library to our own category and remove some of the pipes we never use.
What i did is:
-save copy as the family.
-move to my own library view
- tried to drag and drop the copied part to our own library (not possible)
- tried to change the family properties (parameter mapping) "Structural Shapes->Round Tubes" (not possible)
Is there any way to change the category, move/copy it to the our own category and delete the old one, of this copied library part , so it is easy reachable in the frame generator or "place from content center"?
I am Trying to add the category Field to the parts list, if a sting exists in the field. I want to run this as a rule at the Drawing Level. I can check if there is a sting in the Category Field But not sure how to add this in the Parts List.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created a new library, in the appearance browser and then a category inside called mesh. Somehow I cannot edit the appearance of what I've called Flatex338... I can add it to the current document and then edit it, but cannot edit the original or 'master' appearance.
I'm struggling with the changeover to 2013 with this appearance and materials. Downloaded a document on it from Autodesk but it's only about 30% useful.
If I left click the tag one of the options is to convert it to a category but nothing happens, I used to have a category called other, some how it is now under events. I want it back as a main category.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Multi-Category Schedule and using certain fields it shows me Furniture, Toilet Assoc., Plumbing Fixturers, etc. All I want the Schedule to show is Furniture and Furniture Systems together in one schedule. When going to the Filter I choose Category>Equals>Furniture Systems and Category>Equals>Furniture. Assuming that the schdule would filter out everything else and only show items from the Furniture Systems Category and the Furniture Category. Instead it shows me nothing, eveything disappears. Its as if it is looking for a Catgory that is botn Furnitue Sysems and Furiture as one. I can do each Category individualy and its fine but I can't Filter by both? How can I get this scheudle to just show me Furniture and Funiture Systems? is their an update to correct a bug in the software that will fix this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedProblem: in order to get Revit Mep to calculate roofs in the heatload calculation I the floor I used need to be a roof.
Revit MEP does not calculate any roof area since in my model I used floors to finish a level. Which i architurally correct. But partially it's also a roof. Revit Mep does not use the floor as a roof. So what i want to do is to redefine a complex floor with lots of curved sides etc. into a roof.
The question is: is it possible to just tell revit somehow to change the categorie of the element to roof? or do I have to redraw the whole floor as a flat roof?
I have created a schedule based off some OFCI ( Owner Furnished Contractor Installed) Items. Some of these items cannot be found online or in the revit library (such as a spectrophotometer). So I created a mass and identified type marks for these items. However, I cannot seem to get the mass items to show on the multi-category schedule. Is there a way to do this or another way to create a schedule that includes mass and equipment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a custom view title family for the office (see attached). We'd like to have a label for Drawing Type (ie. "Building Plan" in the attached image) in the view title which would appear in the properties tab under identity data, next to the standard Title on Sheet, View Name, etc.
In the project, I am able to create a project parameter which appears as desired in the properties tab, but am unable to add the parameter inside the family when creating it. It seems impossible to add this parameter to the standard view title family template (alongside Detail Number, Sheet Number, etc.).
I tried it using a Generic Annotation family, but in the project, Revit does not recognize that family as a view category family and therefore you cannot choose this family when setting your view type.
How can I make exceptions in the Grand Sum of the Multi-Category Schedule?
I've set up a Multi-Category Schedule to calculate area, volume and length of materials, but I would like the Grand Sum to not acount for every material in the list (as some materials should only be calculated in volume, some in area etc.)

This seems achievable in the working view mode, but when I place the schedule in a layout, the dedaction is no longer visible.
If this setting cannot be transfered to the Layout view, is there a similar method that can be used to dedact some parts of the schedule?
