AutoCad :: DWG File Is Currently In Use Or Is Read-only

Dec 19, 2011

Using AutoCAD LT 2006 and ADT 2007

Dedicated in-house file server on the LAN.

Save a drawing, and close AutoCAD.

Open drawing on another computer, and it says file is in use, and asks if I would like to open as read-only.

The problem is consistent, and happens even if I wait a few minutes to open the file after closing it on the other computer.

AutoCad :: Opening File / Read Only

Dec 14, 2012

I installed AutoCAD 2013. I have done a few projects on it and everything worked fine. But today after getting a project part way completed I saved it and closed it, then moved on to something else. When I came back to it to work on it some more, it told me that it was in use and that I could only open it as a "Read Only".

It was not open by anything other CAD pragrams or anything. What is the problem here.The only way it seems I can work on it again is to do a reboot. I dont want to do this all the time.

why it is only telling me I can open it as "Read Only" when it is not opened by anything else. But it tells me it is in use by another program.

One message is "Pain't cannot read this file.  This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently supported."  Couldn’t display DSC-0023.jpg because a suitable graphics importer could not be found.

Photoshop :: Error Message :: This File Contains File Info Data Which Cannot Be Read And Has Been Ignored

Feb 8, 2009

After I save a file for "Web & Devices," when I open it, it returns this message, "This file contains file info data which cannot be read and has been ignored." Will this cause any problem with the file once I place it in the website I'm building? I've never seen this message before on a photo I've edited. The changes I made involved color correction.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Read SAT File

Jul 23, 2012

I have a couple of SAT files exported by my colleague. He is only familiar with and only works in AutoCAD 2008.

All I'm trying to do is convert them to IGES for our customer, but I can't even open them. I get the message "Unable to Read SAT File" in Inventor. I tried Fusion as well, it just crashes out after working for a few seconds. When I try to open the original dwg in AutoCAD 2013 I get a message that the file is corrupted and to run recovery on it. I tried doing so, but then the dwg comes in with no model geometry.

How to open these files or any other workflow? We're going to have serious issues down the road if we can't move data between AutoCAD and Inventor.

AutoCad :: How To Create Read Only DWG File / Watermark It

Jan 17, 2013

I have an Autocad drawing that I would like to take to a CNC machine to have it physically built out of extruded polystyrene. I do not want my drawing to be used without my permission or modified.

Is there a way to watermark it or to transform it to a read only file allowing the cnc machine to extract its parameters but not allowing any action upon the file (copy,modify et c.) ?

PS: I have started building my own DIY polystyrene cutting tool out of an old soldering pistol, piano wire,vice, clamps... but it will take some time before I finish building it and there is a chance I might mess up the first few shapes; I need the shapes as soon as possible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Read File Properties (IPT / IDW / DWG) Of Web Application

AutoCAD LT :: Read-only File Opening From Sharepoint Library

Jul 1, 2013

we have problem opening read only files with Autocad 2012, 2013 from Sharepoint library. When user opening dwg file directly from Sharepoint library (with Share point webdav, from Explorer for example) to which he have only read only access,  Autocad gives error

„Drawing file is not valid“. The same result for UNC path (\intranetprojekceRizeniProjektu64ArchivProjektu102575) or mapped drive.

When he use Autocad open dialog to find the file in Share point library and use „Open Read Only“ from dropdown, file is opened fine.

Also if user have write  access rights to library (when I add him rights for writing for this library), autocad works fine.

We need opening files directly in Sharepoint library (not to download them to users computer) cause DWG files have attached another DWG files from library as XREFs.

May be the problem could  be caused by DWL files, which cannot be created in read only library, whilst autocad didn’t recognized the library is read only. But we didn’t find how to disable DWL files in autovcad 2012 or higher.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Creating Read Only File When Attempting To Save?

Nov 8, 2012

We are having an issue where users are you autocad and are working on the drawing as they go to save Autocad pops up and says someone else is using the drawing and then creates a read only file. We are 99% sure that there is no one else using the drawing.

After a bit of a google on various forums I have came across a post which says that it maybe a network issue with the drawing creating DWL files (locked) and then it taking time to update on the network.

AutoCAD LT :: Read Only Error When Opening DWG Attachment File From 2010

Feb 6, 2012

I cannot seem to open .dwg files from an email using AutoCAD LT 2010

I get an error saying c:users"username" empoutlookj0814-052.dwg is currently in use or is read only.

Would you like to open the file ready-only?

I can save the file then open it. But the user wants to open the attachment straight from the email.

I've tried changing the attributes on the folder from read only but this doesn't work, tried another profile, again this doesn't work.

It does seem to only effect .dwg files when opening with AutoCAD LT 2010.  If someone sends an xls, .doc, .pdf attachment they all open OK, I'm sure this is an AutoCAD LT 2010 issue. I have downloaded and installed both hotfixes / patches from the autodesk website and reinstalled the software but this hasn't worked either.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Info On Scaling Utm Shape File To Read In Meters Or Feet

I imported a shape file drawn with a utm signature with the dbf and shx files associated with it.The  field map looks exactly like it is supposed to but when i dimension different places the dim are in what i think are utm measurements( ie .0069).When i draw a line at say 200 feet the line is astronomical in comparison. I can't seem to figure out where to change the scale.I have never used the auto map before and am using the trial version.

Seems every application but Autocad Civil 3D can read in a DEM with rectangular spacing.

how to approach this? I have a lot of files, I really don't want to have to resample them all at a square spacing so Civil 3D feels good.

See attached files.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Read Lines From A File And Save To Multiple Lists?

Jul 22, 2013

I am writing a program to grab a bunch of layers from a list, check a drawing to see if the layers are on the list, and if not save to an external file. I have the second part of the program done, but I can't get the first part to work.

I am trying to open a file read the contents and save it to a list.

Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't even get into the foreach statement.
 
(setq layerslist (list '"0list" '"detaillist" '"clearancelist" '"clearanceelist" '"doorsdrawerslist" '"hiddenlist" '"hiddenelist" '"deletelist"))(setq count 0)(foreach thislayer layerslist (setq f (open (strcat "C:\filterlists\" thislayer ".txt") "r")) (while (/= (setq text (read-line f)) nil) (setq (read thislayer) (cond ( (= 0 count) (cons (cons 8 text) (read thislayer)))( (append (read thislayer) (list (cons 8 text))) ) );cond );setq (setq count (+ count 1)) );while (close f) );foreach
 
I've also attached one of the text files. Im doing something in the wrong order, or I have something inside the wrong set of parenthesis.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Read Excel File To Insert Text Values At Coordinates

So from that file I need to insert into autocad the node numbers as text (using the current style and height) at the point specified by the other two columns, that are the X,Y coordinates which will be the insertion point of text..
