AutoCAD .NET :: How To Set Color Index And Layer Of Newly Created Dimension Style

Jul 18, 2013

I'm having a bit of a problem struggling with creating new dimension style using vee bee dot net, in AutoCAD 2010 environment. I am particularly trying to figure out how to set the newly created dimension style to color white, and to assign it a specific layer (for example, a layer called "test"). What the code syntax is to accomplish this?

I post the code below for what I have done thus far:

Public Shared Sub addDimensionStyle(ByVal strDimStyle As String)
Dim acDb As Database = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase
Using acTrans As Transaction = acDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
Dim dimTbl As DimStyleTable = acDb.DimStyleTableId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite)
Dim dimTblRec As DimStyleTableRecord = Nothing

[Code] ........

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer State - Ignore Any Newly Created Layers?

Aug 8, 2013

we have a good size project going on with lots of view ports of a base map (floor plan or site plan).  Then we set the viewport layers the way we would like it, but along the way, we keep getting updated base maps (floor plan or site plan) with new layer created in them.  These newly created layers are for the originator and will not affect our project.

Is there a way to have our project set to ignore any newly created layer from the originator of the base files?  That is, we have our project (viewport layers) set the way we want it.  When we get an updated base file, replace the xref(s), our layer state will still be the same, ignoring any newly created layer, automatically.  I sure hope I am clear enough here.

Our problem is that when we get a new base file, then we would have to go to every file that has a viewport related to this new base file and turn off the new layers.

Photoshop :: CS6 Bug - Can't Use Brush Tool On Newly Created Layer

May 18, 2013

I'm using a Wacom intuos 2 and working up some illustrations, but whenever I create a new layer, the brush tool goes completely defunct and makes absolutely no marks on the document. I have gotten in the habit of just restarting Photoshop, and then it works.

Illustrator :: CS6 - Newly Created Paths / Objects Appearing At The Bottom Of Layer

Jul 31, 2012

Just installed the new CS6. I'm experimenting with Illustrator. I feel a little dumb asking this, but ALL of my newly drawn paths, brush strokes, objects etc. keep automatically shifting to the bottom of the layer instead of like usual, appearing at the top. Is there a way to turn this off? Revert back to normal?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Layer Index Color Change Via Selection And Dialog Box

Aug 1, 2013

I'm attempting to create an easier way to change layer colors of nested linework by selecting the linework and having the ACAD index color dialog box appear to select the replacement color.

defining the "ic" variable;
 
(defun c:clc (/ ent ent_data ic ent_lay) ;change layer color(setq ent(nentsel)) (setq ent_data(entget(car ent)))(setq ic ;index color(cdr(assoc 62(ACAD_COLORDLG))))(setq ent_lay(cdr(assoc 8 ent_data)))(command "-layer" "c" ic ent_lay ""))

AutoCAD .NET :: Add Xref To Newly Created DWG?

May 18, 2012

I am having an issue with trying to get and xref or multiple xrefs attached/overlayed in a drawing that I just create.

I have a command that will create a sheet set, then add sheets in that sheet set based on a number the user puts in.

I then ask the user if they want to add xrefs to the drawings, if they press yes, I want to have the dwgs that are selected by the user to be referenced into the newly created dwgs.

I believe I am mising making the dwg that is created the active dwg before adding the xrefs, but I may also be missing locking the dwg.  At the moment I have it set to open the dwg after it is created then attempting to add the xrefs to it.
 
'Starts the process of adding sheets based on the number specified
For i As Integer = 1 To info.TotalSheetNum.Value
'shows dialog box for sheet information to user
sheetinfo.ShowDialog()
'adds the sheet to the sheet set
[Code] ...........

AutoCAD .NET :: Draworder Of Objects In Newly Created Blocks

Nov 12, 2012

I am creating a new block that includes text, lines and a solid object. The block is creating properly, however, the linework is behind the solid object.

How do I control the draworder of the items in the block?

Is there a way to set the order before I create the block, OR do I have to modify the block after I have created it?

Illustrator :: Newly Created Brush Not Available?

Feb 28, 2014

I spent a bit of time creating a brush style to simulate a rope.  Artwork was created, dragged and dropped into brushes pallet, set as pattern brush.  In the AI file in which the brush was created, it is visible and available as a brush when "Show pattern brushes" is checked.  However, in other AI files I cannot find this brush!  I have closed all files and closed AI, reopened and still nothing.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dimension Style Fill Color Causing Random Lines On PDF Files

Dec 13, 2013

Using Autocad 2014. I recently changed our dimension style fill color to background.  Now when we create pdf files, there are random lines either to left of the text or left and top of text. It is not every dimension. We had it set to none before and would trim lines around dimension text. We did not have problems with pdf until changing the fill color. It plots from autocad to plotter without a problem.

Lightroom :: Cannot Import Into Newly Created Folder Since Upgrade

Nov 27, 2013

SInce upgrading from LR4 to LR5 I can no longer create a new folder in the 'destination' section of the import pane and import new images into it.
 
If I right-click, for example, the desktop in the 'destination' area and select 'create new folder' I can create the folder, but it doesn't then show when I return to LR for the import. I have to have already created to folder outside of LR before the import for it to show as a viable location to import to.

AutoCad 2D :: Dimension Style Changes Without Dimension Style Being Changed?

May 25, 2011

I'm working on a drawing that was converted into cad and it seems like every dimension has its own style. When I copy use the move comand or try to change the dimension the text changes from being above the dimension line to centered and the text gets closer together horizontally. When I compare a copied dimension to the original it has all the same properties including the text pos vert still being above text. The actual dimension style hasn't changed at all but what is showing up on screen is different.

Here a image showing three dimensions with the same properties, the top 2'-10" is what it should look like, the bottom is what it looks like when I copied it and the 1'-2" is when I make a new dimension.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Dimension Color By Layer

Oct 20, 2011

As a consultant we grey out architectural backgrounds for our sheets. We use the SetByLayer command to change the color of the objects in our sheets to gery out. The issue is with dimsensions. Dimension Line Color, Extension Line Color, and Text Color are all set at By Block as default and no one ever bothers to change it unless they are setting it to a specific color which is even more of a problem for us. You can edit the properties of an existing dimension and set Dim Line Color, Ext Line Color, and Text Color to by layer, I am looking for a way to automate this. Something that can search through a drawing, grab all the dimensions (even in blocks) and set everything by layer.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Dimension Style Reverts To Different Style

May 7, 2012

I am working with a template, that doesn't allow me to change the dimension style. In the project the Use Style Library is set to Read/Write. I have created my dimension style, at this point just a copy of the ANSI standard with a text size difference. I went to my template and set that syle as my default, and saved it. Now the fact that it doesn't automatically update the drawing I had alreadycreated is a nuisance, however if I creat a new drawing, the style has reverted to a different standard, that is not even the ANSI default. If I right click a dimension and change the dimstyle to what I saved it does update, but if I try to change the style again it defaults to a random dimstyle, AND changes the style even if I hit cancel. So... the question is how to make the changes stick?

AutoCad :: Newly Created Viewport Blanks Out Another Viewport

Jan 23, 2013

Problem: When I create a new viewport, another viewport's paperspace blanks out or disappears. When I copy a viewport over, the new VP doesn't show anything and you can't maximize/"enter" its paperspace; it's like a simple rectangle, but the properties box says it is indeed a viewport.

Ex. Viewport 1 shows the top view of an object, Viewport 2 shows the right side view... as soon as I add Viewport 3, the top view in VP 1 blacks out. I attempt to ReDraw, Regenerate, etc, but it doesn't re-appear. I've run Plot Preview to see if maybe it's just a fluke with the graphics card on my screen, but alas, even in plot preview the viewport is blanked out.

It almost seems like there is a limited number of viewports I can use.

Solution: Run the MaxActVP command and set the value to a number greater than the number of VPs you actually need. This particular file had that value set at 2; hence, why a new, third VP blanked out the first one.

InDesign :: Adding Index Entries Based On Paragraph Style

Apr 8, 2014

I finally paid one of those conversion companies to convert this QuarkXPress file that I was working with to InDesign, since InDesign seems like such a better program.  Everything seemed to transfer over smoothly, and I have now been editing this document in InDesign.  Unfortuantely, after a bunch of new edits, I realized the one thing that didn't seem to transfer over was the index.  The old Quark file had an index with about 900+ entries in it.  Is there any quick way to add all those entries back without having to go through the document and highlight the text manually, one by one by one?  That would take forever.  Pretty much everything that's gonna be indexed is after a paragraph marker of the paragraph style called "gray box."
 
Also, since each entry is bold, it was set up as having a paragraph style named "title."  If IND could find anything with that style and add it as an entry, that may make my job way easier? Or will I be stuck selecting text over the next day and manually adding entries?

Photoshop :: Mac :: Cannot Get The Swatch After Index Color

Aug 7, 2009

using Windows, I cannot get the "Swatch after Index color" percentage color ratios information. Is this exclusively a Mac photoshop bonus?? ... This is exactly what I'm looking for ... a precise method to mix pigments. Thanks a million for any help. My goal was to sample a color and come up with a general recipe for a color mixture using traditional artist pigments. This is what I've done so far...1. Create a swatch set that represents my paint palette2. Sample the color I want to separate3. Fill a 10 pixel by 10 pixel doc with the sample color4. Convert to Index Color using my paint palette5. Each pixel represents 1% of a paint color It's very tedious but it's all I can come up with

Photoshop :: Color Palette/Index Coloring

Jun 15, 2009

I want to specify which colors Photoshop can use and I'm doing that (or at least trying to) by using custom index coloring and the color palette. I am using another person's saved color table. This person saved several shades of grey and when I delete these colors my picture is affected. What is puzzling me is that deleting greys have an impact on my picture even though I am not using any grey. Is there an impact because Photoshop is blending colors within the color table to make the picture. Is grey one of the blended colors? I do not want there to be any blending of colors--I just want Photoshop to use what colors I specify.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select Last Created Dimension?

Apr 10, 2012

I have the following code, that for some reason the last created dimension is no being selected.  That's the first problem.  The second (and not as improtant) problem( becasue it does work), is that I'm using the "dimedit" command.  I prefer to do a swap within the dxf codes, that I treid but didn't work, so I resorted to the "dimedit" command.

(command "DIMLINEAR" pause pause pause)
(setq last_dim (entsel (entlast)))
(setq oldunits (getvar "lunits"))  (setq oldprec (getvar "luprec"))

AutoCAD Inventor :: Turn Off Edit Dimension When Created 2013?

Aug 14, 2012

I have been using Inventor 2013 for a few weeks now and for the life of me I can not work out how to turn off the automatic "Edit dimension when created" .

I do know that there are "Edit dimension when created" checkboxes in both the Edit Dimension window and under Application Options.  But everytime I restart Inventor, the program seems to forget that particular custom setting and always switches "Edit dimension when created" back on.  So that on the first dimension I create, the Edit Dimension window pops up.

For additional info Inventor remembers many of the other custom settings (e.g. compact tool bar, active button on the Quick Access Toolbar, etc...)

Photoshop :: Fuzzy Index Color Image Viewed In PDF...

Jul 23, 2008

I typically create graphics using index color that are black/white with some gray tones to highlight a part of the drawing. The graphics are published in a PDF document, are typically a very manageable file size and initially look great. The problem is the PDF documents are typically 500 pages and the file size is reduced in Adobe Acrobat Standard. After reducing the file size, all index color graphics appear bloched or very fuzzy when viewing the PDF on a monitor. The printed PDF document has some fuzziness but the image quality should be improved. Do you have any suggestions to improve the image quality of index color graphics in a reduced file size PDF document? Or any suggestions to create sharp black/white images with gray highlights in a better way or avoid making the image fuzzy?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Created Point Style To Flatten Points

Jun 15, 2012

I am running C3D 2012

I have created a point style to flatten the points and lines I create locating buildings effortlessly. I have called the point style "no elevation" and set the 3D geometry to flatten it at zero elevation. I then created a Point key description BLDX that references the style "No Elevation". I also made a figure under my figure group for BLDX that is not a breakline.

My BLDX is still coming in at elevation as well as the corresponding figure. When I hover over the points, it shows that it is using my point style of "No Elevation".
