AutoCAD .NET :: Multisheet PDF With Multiple Selection Of Windows In Modelspace?
Sep 30, 2013
i'm trying to create a routine, where i can select multiple windows in modelspace, and the plot a multisheet pdf.but I'm having trouble to create multiple pages, it only generates 1 page
I have modified sourcecode from Kean Walmsley:
[URL]
- this routine creates a single-page pdf with only the last selected window.
- the pc3-file I use is able to create multisheets because the original routine with paperspace works fine
- I think it has maybe something to do with the pi.Layout = lo.Id ?
Â
<CommandMethod("mplot2")> Public Sub MultiSheetPlot2() Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim ed As Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput.Editor = doc.Editor Dim db As Database = doc.Database Dim tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() Using tr Dim bt As BlockTable = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable) Dim pi As New PlotInfo() Dim piv As New PlotInfoValidator() piv.MediaMatchingPolicy = MatchingPolicy.MatchEnabled ' A PlotEngine does the actual plotting ' (can also create one for Preview) If PlotFactory.ProcessPlotState = Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.ProcessPlotState.NotPlotting Then Dim pe As PlotEngine = PlotFactory.CreatePublishEngine() Using pe ' Create a Progress

Our company is setting up the Publish command to utilize the different title blocks within the Layout Tabs so we can create one file PDF(Multisheet). Our title blocks vary from sometimes been all portrait to on other occasions been a mix of both portrait and landscape layouts.
The issue that has arisen is the following example:
Layout 1 - Portrait
Layout 2 - Landscape
Layout 3 - Portrait
When creating the PDF using the publish command it doesn't not recognise the Landscape format therefore is not creating the Multisheet function or creating this function but the rotation of Layout 2 in the example is portrait. Where as when they are all Portrait sheets it creates 1 file which is what we are after.

When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.
This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

Has conquered the PUBLISH command hanging and failing to create a multi-sheet PDF?
Everything works the same as AutoCAD 2011, however, even though I have the "Prompt for Name" set I am not prompted for a file name and the publish progress symbol continues without a result.
I have no choice but to cancel the process.

When I want to select multiple stuff, first time I can draw a windows some objects will be selected, second time multiple items can't be selected and I have to select them one by one. I was able to do it before hence I have changed something unintentionally, but what I have done?

to select object on a single layer
Dim strLayer as string = "road"acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, strLayer), 2) Â
how do you select all objects on multiple layers
Dim strLayer as string = "road,sidewalks"acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, strLayer), 2) Â
the above does not work. how do you select all objects on multiple layers?

There are blocks in the drawing, each containing several nested entities. Need a command which would find all the nested entities which got into the selection area provided by user (not necessary to select entities, just get the ids). GetNestedEntity() does what I need but for a single entity only.Â
Selection of 'Trim' command does exactly what I need. How could I achieve the same behaviour?

From the AutoDESK docs [URL] ......
"AutoCAD.Application.ActiveDocument.SelectionSets. Add method
Not needed/provided" in VB.Net
Thus 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application. DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SelectionSets' will not work.
So, I can't store multiple selection sets in VB.Net?
Why is it not provided? Or is there some other way to do that?

All of a sudden my Cad is now not allowing me to select multiple items one at a time without deselected the ones before. Everytime I select a new item to move it, the grips off of another item I would be moving would deselect. Where is the setting to set this back to where I can individually select multiple items without AutoCad deselecting the what I had selected already.

 My question is, if there any tool /command, utility in autocad to select all objects of one type at one time : for example all text objects or all dimention objects if these objects on different layers and have different properties. in my work I have to insert many blocks(not annotative) or parts of drawings which were created by other people and have different from mine settings and properties of text and dimention objects. the insertions add so many layers and objects that I spend lots of time to correct them and to figure it out.
is there any way( command, utility) to select and manage all of these objects at one time?
P.S.i think it is very unconvenient that the plain autocad does not have dimentions and text as families or some sort of groups that s easy to manage.

I have a single user of AutoCAD LT 2013 SP2 on a Windows 8 machine. It worked flawlessly for a few months and then suddenly started crashing a lot, especially when accessing the FILE menu.
We get a lot of these:The program acadlt.exe version 25.0.55.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

The only changes since these started was a new wireless mouse (Microsoft) and loading Adobe Acrobat Standard (latest version) on the machine. We did both of those a few weeks ago and the problems have started after that.

What I am trying to do is create a selection set of blocks with the same name. Then step through the selection set and if the block has an attribute "Tag" with a Specific "Value" then get the insert point.

We recently upgraded to Windows 7. Now when we open multiple drawings, each drawing is displayed individaully in the taskbar. This created problems for us when wanting to ALT+TAB through open programs; the drawings would be available for selection and get in the way.  I thought multiple sessions of the program were opening. It reminded me of older versions of ACAD where you could select (Options>Open & Save, I think) whether ACAD opened additional drawings in the same session or in multiple sessions. That option no longer exists, and I have been surching for the solution off-and-on for the last 4 months. The following post lead me to the solution although they were orginally asking to do the opposite. This post has too many entries (2 pages, who looks at a second page?) and is full of bickering, so I decided to post a separate comment. URL.....
The post below explains the solution quite well. URL....Windows 7 switched the default assuming most people would rather have the ability to hover and see a preview. Maybe that's true but I am not one of them. The reason it took me so long to find the answer is because I was always referencing "Multiple Sessions" and not searching for "Taskbar" solutions.
As a side note, in all my searching, the most common solution offered was changing the SDI variable. I believe, 9 times out 10, if not more, the SDI variable had nothing to do with what the problems were, yet it was always suggested.

Currently when I open up multiple drawings (opening them up one at a time) they all appear in the same window (one instance) of AutoCAD.
I want each drawing to open in separate instances so I can view them on separate monitors (and close one without being asked to close them all).
I have tried changing the SDI system variable from 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)
I have tried changing the windows default program from AutoCAD Application to AutoCAD Launcher (and vise-versa)
I have set the TASKBAR system variable at both 0 and 1 (and vise-versa)

why Autocad 2012 opens one window per drawing as opposed to Autocad 2007/2008 opening one window for as many drawings as you have open. Â (I also don't care to group/ungroup similar programs through Windows 7.) Â This must be an Autocad 2012 program default that I can't figure out to change. Â

My problem is similar to the "send behind"/"bring to front" commands that you use when you're drawing. But my issue is this: what wastes a lot of time for me in the new program is when I try to work in multiple windows at once. (Btw, we don't have large screens to work with here.) Usually what I'll do is have, say, three or four windows up at a time, none of which are maximized, and usually have two that I'm working on side by side, with the remaining one or two sitting in the background. I also keep a lot of windows active, and minimized, so that's not the answer I'm trying to find. I work mostly in model space if that makes any difference, though I don't think it should.
Now, not only do the borders of each of my windows get all sorts of funky screen images on them when I move them around (mildly amusing but not annoying), but what really grinds my gears is that the orientation, or layering, or what-have-you, of the windows that I have active and open in the background is not retained. Let's say I have X-1 and A-1 up front and center, and I have A-3 and A-4 in the background. Let's say I had moved A-3 to sit on top of A-4 before I started working on the X-1 and A-1 sheets. Now, in the 2013 version, if I'd slide X-1 or A-1 out of the way, I'd see A-3 sitting right there on top, all happy and pretty where I left it.

I would like to know if it's possible to set a value to a multiple vertex selection.
Exemple : I have 15 vertex selected with different values on z axis.
I want to set all vertex to -100mm for exemple (in one action).

I have an ADMHierarchyList and I need it to support multiple selection. I see numerous places in the documention that indicate there is a way to set multiple selection (e.g. "... in a list that supports multiple selection..."), but don't see a way to actually set this behavior.

I recently installed CS6 on my computer at work, and I have only had problems with Photoshop.
Â
1. I open two different files in Photoshop, therefore multiple windows are open in Photoshop, so that I can copy and paste from one file to the other. However, both windows display the same info and show that the files are identical when they most definitely are not. Objects and text then start jumping back and forth until I am back to the original window and do not have any others open.
Â
2. When I move objects, it is delayed. For example, I move an object 3 spaces over, but it only moves 2 times until I click off of the object and then it completes the third move.

Since I'm a little new to this CAD Stuff, I'm having a bit of trouble working out the text size for a viewport.
I've drawn something at a scale of 1:1 in ModelSpace (As per the senior designers instructions) and I've got it zoomed in at a scale of 1:250 in paperspace. According to the text size settings I've been given (they were in place before i joined the company), the text in modelspace should be set to 625; now, when i go into paperspace and print the drawing out, the text looks much too big.
What size should I have the text set to so it doesnt look so big in paperspace??

Before I start looking for work on transforming PSD's into working websites, I would like to learn some of the functions and features of Photoshop Creative Suite 5.1. Â
Â
I recently learned:
Ctrl + Win + Click on Desired Layer… To make a selection around the layerÂ
Â
Then I clicked on, "Refine Edge"… I was able to make a perfect selection around what I wanted using this feature. Very nice, by the way. Â
Â
There were multiple layers, I merged the visible ones to make one layer. All of the stuff that makes up the banner, at the top of the page. My question is:
Â
Can I make a selection around multiple layers, i.e. buttons, other pictures, etc.?
Â
Side note question:
Does the document size have any effect on the overall size? Meaning: let's say that banner up top is 775 pixels across & maybe about 450 pixels tall… That's about the size of the image (the selected layer). The document size is laying on, is also 775 pixels across… But, 950 pixels tall. Will that document size have any effect on load time for a webpage?

people want to move multiple layers together. I know how to do that. I want to move a selection in two (or more) layers together. I'd also love to know how to use the free transform tool on a selection box in multiple layers.

I can select individual layers either in the Layer Palette or on the canvas with no problem. It's when I use the selection tool with Shift, Cntrl, or Alt that I cant get more than one layer selected. I want to group and lock layers together so I can scale down the group to a maller image size.
