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 am basically connecting to my gis dept data base and wanting to view the contour data for a certain county. When i do connect to the database all i see on the screen is two large rectangles that are some sort of data but not what i was expecting and no where close to the correct coordinates

I'm running Smoke 2012 on a fully loaded MBP. I'm having problems exporting QTs. Constantly get this error:
Cannot get local IFFFS wiretap server's storage id: Connection refused.
I have to do a full power cycle, then maybe it will work. This used to be an occasional occurrence, but now happens almost every time, unless I've only just powered up. Once Smoke has been running for a few minutes, forgetaboutit. I never have this problem when I can use the Export button; but this button is greyed out when QT is selected, which means it has to be dropped into the queue, then exported from the background page. Perhaps this is where the issue lies.
This has been hit and miss. I am now consistenly getting a dynamic link server connection trying to use Track camera in After Effects.

I have enabled all the recommended programs through my firewall. I see the dynamiclink server is running in my task manager, I have closed all other programs, no antivirus, I have restarted my computer, no luck with this.
Also to add additional information:
It seems that when I try to do replace with After Effects composition in Premiere Pro I am getting error: The importer reported a generic error

We installed autocad 2013 network license on server and able to access from client machine. However, we are unable to access license from server itself.
It is virtual server with windows 2008.
I try to work with the 3D space navigator, but somehow I do something wrong (I guess) When I try to zoom it works fine until I'm really close at the drawing and then suddenly it zooms very fast and I loose the drawing from the screen. I then have to give the command Zoom all to find my drawing again.
Furthermore on a regular base Autocad shuts down when I "play"with de 3D connection. Can it be that this is an Cad problem or a space navigator problem?
All our DWG files are stored on a network share. Files in that share are indexed by Windows Server 2008 r2, so searching in files from within Windows 7 is quite easy.
Unfortunately, the server doesn't index DWG files - it doesn't have the required filter installed. Now I can add the DWG extension, but it will use a 'Plain text filter' that's unable to look inside the DWG's. It should use the AcDwgFilter.
So: How do I get the server to index DWG's without installing AutoCAD? I.e. how to install the AcDwgFilter on the server.

Can I install each license file into a seperate port on same server to allow each group to use their own pool, essentially to not allow the other groups to have easy access? (We customize the install for each group to a particular lic server/port)

My office uses Dropbox as a server for all of our working files. I can create and work with CAD files (using many x-refs) without a problem. The problem that I have occurs whenever someone else in the office tries to use the CAD file that I created with x-refs OR whenever I use a different computer station (still logged in as myself)...the X-refs are always missing (detached). I can reattach them but this defeats the purpose of using the X-ref. how Dropbox works.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo we have an HP T1100 plotter and we want all the .pc3 files on the server. I go to the plotter in my devices and printers from the start menu and I add in all my custom paper sizes. Then I create a .pc3 file that points to a system printer on my machine for that plotter. I then move the .pc3 file to the server. Next thing I do is go to .pc3 file on the server and filter out all the unneeded papers sizes (arch, jis, iso, etc.) so all that shows up in the plot dialog box are the custom sizes I created. I then re-path autocad to the server in my options. All is fine so far, everything plots fine.
Now I go to another machine and point autocad to use the folders on the server for the plotters. I go to plot and the .pc3 files are there but when I pick the paper size drop down selection, all the arch, jis, iso sheets, etc... that I filtered out are now there. Well, I can go into the .pc3 file on his machine, re-filter out all those unneeded paper sizes and all is well, but then I come over to my machine and all the unneeded paper sizes are there again. It goes back and forth. I save on one machine and then the other one is messed up.
I cannot get the unfiltered papersizes to stay that way on the .pc3 file thats on the server. Why is this? I know I have the .pc3 file pointed to a system printer on my machine but we have the same printer on each machine with the same drivers. We could just put the plotter on the server so there is no system printer but that is not an option right now.
when I try to use the VIEWBASE command to create views from my 3D solids, I always get the message "inventor server failed to load" and the command stops. I am using AutoCAD 2014 with SP1 installed on windows 8 .
In a similar message in the 2010/2011/2012 discussion group: URL....
it is suggested to reinstall the software, but this is not working for me.I have already tried to 'repair', 'reinstall' and completely remove all the software and then reinstalling it, but nothing seems to fix this problem.
Are there any other programs I need to have installed to get this command to work?
I copy a .dwg to my remote computer and open it. Then .dwl and .dwl2 are created in same local folder as the .dwg I just opened localy. Then I copy the local .dwl and .dwl2 files back to the remote server in the same location I received the origional .dwg from. Why are those files not locked now from everybody on the network that I am remotly away from?
View 7 Replies View RelatedAt my office, we are experiencing a major malfunction with AutoCAD and server based files. I believe it is due to a server restructuring that occurred last week and we are having troubles since then.
Basically, on some drawings, all I need to do is select a HATCH object (of any size) and AutoCAD crashes. The same behavior is exhibited when editing an MTEXT object or, say, a dimension TEXT. I was also able to recreate the crash by typing STYLE, trying to edit the text STANDARD template, and essentially anything having to do with "simplex.shx."
we have a dilema regarding Backburner 2013:
I work at a studio and we want to buy new servers and we want to purchase Windows Server 2012 wich, from what we read is based on Windows 8 architecture. We read BackBurner 2013's specification and Windows 8 didn't appear as supported.
Our question is: If we buy Windows Server 2012 Enterprise for the render farm will it work with Backburner 2013 without any problem?

If Map 3D 2012 is able to connect to this data? I cannot get it to work, but I am not a Map / GIS expert by any means.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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!!
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.
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.
I'm trying to create a assembly with .NET to draw all objects from a chosen spec. I started from Plant3D SDK which have a sample project. Autodesk ADN support is too slow to answer some basic questions since they have changed support platform recently.
After hours searching and trying to reach the main goal, I understood how connections between objects are done. The connector is based on End Type of objects. I'm not a meterial guy, so everything is much more difficult to me At CreatePipeline (..Plant SDK 2013SamplesPipingCreatePipeline) sample we have a class PipelineConnector which create connector. The main problem is only Buttweld connector code is available at CreatePart method in this class. I'm needing a piece of code where creation for others connector types such as Socketweld are shown.
the CreatePart code below:
public override void CreatePart() { Database db = AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database; ContentManager cm = ContentManager.GetContentManager(); part.Position = InsertPoint; part.SlopeTolerance = 0.1; part.OffsetTolerance = 0.0; if (ConnTypeName.Equals("Gasket")) { // Gasket // //PartName = "Gasket"; var spGPart = GetSpecPart("Gasket"); PSPColl.Add(spGPart); var blockSubPart = new BlockSubPart(); ObjectId Id = ObjectId.Null; try { if (spGPart.PropValue("ContentGeometryParamDefinition") != null) Id = cm.GetSymbol(spGPart, db); blockSubPart.SymbolId = Id; } catch { } part.AddSubPart(blockSubPart); // BoltSet // var spBPart = GetSpecPart("BoltSet"); BoltSetSubPart boltsetSubPart = new BoltSetSubPart(); boltsetSubPart.PartSizeProperties.NominalDiameter = NomDia;
