Some of the models that I convert into NWDs (via Naviswork's automation API ) may contain left over artifacts that the designer left, often in outer space, which causes the constructed NWD (and thus any other NWD that has appended the erroneous one) to have very large extents.
What would be an approach in detecting such artifacts in the DWG via the API? I'd like to construct a .NET app that would run to scan the models for such space junk before being processed by Navisworks?
We are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.
Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.
Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?
Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?
It's amazing what you can do with a mixture of boring Sunday afternoons, sleepy head, bored person and Photoshop filters at the golden ratio can do... Note: The key steps here areApply a Chrome filter Fade it (Edit > Fade) with blending mode Luminosity (others like Colour Dodge and Screen works well too)
Is there a way to "filter" all the junk I don't need from the curve editor? I need to select all the "z-axes" of 2000+ objects and randomize their keys. But ONLY their Z-Ax keys

It works fine if click on it and ndeia player runs it file. But when I put that fine on server with linix plateform. And through link on the webpage open that file. Instead of media player opening that file when I click the link.
I work on a field of railways and most of the time i spend my time finding radiuses and lenghts of curves between two railway points. I wonder if autocad could do that automatically for me.
I have a closed object and a line outside this object. I want to take anypoint on this polyline as a reference and check whether that point is lying inside the closed object or outside.
I have created a Dynamic Block with various visibility states.The block has attributes in that are not displayed depending on which visibility state that is selected.
Is there a way for VBA to look at attributes in my dynamic block and tell which attributes are visible?

How can I detect sheet metal cut and extrusion cut features that have the white circular model browser node icon wih the "i" insided it (toolip says "No effect?") via the Inventor API? You get this situation if the sketch does not cut any geometry. I want to delete these features.
I'm using Inventor 2012 and VB.Net.

I have installed Open Sans Font and did some design work in photoshop using the same font. But after I reopen the photoshop, the fonts in the C:\ Windowsfonts changes to a shortcut (which means it moves from that place to another) and photoshop is not detecting the particular font. It is happening with most of the fonts I install. And I'm forced to install the font again.
Lightroom 4 only detects Photoshop cs2, not cs5, so I can't jump over to cs5 for further editting. Is there an easy way to correct this? I assume it is because cs2 was installed after cs5 (don't ask, it wasn't me!)
Is Photoshop able to determine whether a particular image has previously been modified in some way? Or are there other pieces of software that allow you to do that?
Just recently Photoshop CS5 64-bit has not been detecting my GPU. It was working perfectly fine for over a year until about two months ago after, I guess, a driver update? I'm not sure which version may have caused it to happen but I just upgraded the driver to the one that was released today on Nvidia (GeForce 306.97 Driver), doing a clean install, and Photoshop is still not detecting the card...It's frustrating as I'd like to be able to use the Open GL functions again. I also have two hard drives if that could be any source of the problem.
To elaborate, I am running an SSD (C:) and an HDD (E:). I have Photoshop and my GPU drivers installed in C:.
Anyways, I opened up preferences and tried switching the scratch drive to E: and restarted Photoshop. I got an error saying "Could not open a scratch file because of a disk error." Pressing "OK", I received another error message "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invaled (it has been deleted)". Pressing "OK" again gets Photoshop to start up and suddenly it is recognizing my GPU and allowing Open GL functions. But as soon as I close out of Photoshop and re-open it, it's back to not detecting my GPU and has Open GL functions grayed out.
I searched the forums for similar issues and came across with the possibility of permission issues or missing TEMP folder...however the permissions look fine and there is a temp folder in my C: drive. What's with this? I'd love to find a fix ASAP as I use PS every day and it's starting to become a real work efficiency issue!
I think on this stamp there is a date printed by the post office but it is not entirely visible. Is there a chance to detect it working, e.g., with levels or something else? I tried but I did not succeeded. Is there a general method to do it?

Is there a command to find loops and crossed lines in curves/lines.
I've been playing with Powertrace and noticed that quite often the lines/curves will have loops in them, particularly at sharp bends.
I have to zoom right in to see these but this is a very painstaking and slow method of finding these. I use Draw primarily to get cut paths so there can't be any crossing lines. Visually the drawing can look good but cam software finds these loops as tiny as a few thousands of an inch.
I'm trying to get the pressure levels for my tablet working right. I want it to increase hardness when I press harder, but instead hardness DECREASES. Is there a way to flip it around? The matrix just seems to be booleans, with only checkmarks or no checkmarks.
Actually, scratch that. Now the pressure levels aren't detecting AT ALL. I have the tablet enabled in Input Devices, and the pen is Pressure-Opacity but nothing changes based on pressure.
so I came up with this script, and it worked fine until I tried it on a different file. I have moved the artboard around all over the "main" canvas (if that is what it is called) and on the one that it works on, seems to only work when artboard(top, left) is positive values. however on the new file it doesn't seem to matter where it is on the artboard, it wont work anywhere. it should find the textpath relative to the shapes position.
I thought it was the coordinateSystem, but that doesn't seem to fix it. How the canvas works (maybe the math.abs();
threw it up on gist because it was pretty big: [URL]
I have been using Elements 8.0 for some years and it still uploads pictures from my regular camera Sony Cyrbershot. It used to upload from iPhone 4s OK but has not done so for a week. The pictures can be seen in File Explorer and iTunes syncs fine with the iPhone but iPhone is not detecetd at "Get photos from". Clicking refresh does not work.
II need a way to tell if a component occurence is a virtual component.
I'm using a For Each loop to cycle through all of the components in an assembly, and if the component is itself an assembly to set the LOD to "Custom". I'm using the definition document descriptor object for this. It all woks fine until the loop comes across a virtual component which doesn't have a definition document, so I need a way to check if the component is virtual and needs to be skipped.Here's the

In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.
In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.
I can log into another user's computer and open the file fine. But when i use my computer or a brand new computer fitting all Auto CAD specs, it locks up. When I plot I have to reset my settings to the PTE standards every time.
I now get CAD errors when CAD is not even open. Also VTPSUHM barely works. I generally have to restart my computer several times to get it to work.
after discovering zones and the space evaluation tool I wonder whether it is possible to customise the XLS output further by also reading out information from a property set attached to the space?
The office standard is to have a property set attached to each space that defines a room number (which is the level ID plus a number, say G-01), the area and the space name.
We used to simply schedule the areas with a schedule table. That only gives us net rooms, no subtotals per department (or say per flat) and no grandtotal.So we got as far as using zones grouping the spaces in each flat.
Now I need an area schedule XLT template that also displays the room number from the space's property set and the schedule grouped in a fashion that I get subtotals per flat (=my zones) in another column and a grandtotal.Playing with the Space evaluation tool I seem to only ever get Room/ zone names and their areas.
I am a landscape architect trying to xref in civil backgrounds. I have noticed twice now from two different civil firms that some of the civil symbols (dynamic blocks) are having visibility issues in paper space. No the viewport layers are not turned off or frozen. No the views weren't placed using the sheet set manager. Yes the blocks are created on layer zero and yes the associated layer is not off or frozen. I don't believe these blocks are annotative blocks. They appear, as expected, perfectly clear in model space. I just toggel over to paper space and "poof" they've disappeared.
