AutoCAD .NET :: Saving A Drawing That Is Open But Not Active?
Nov 15, 2012using dwgDB.saveas on a drawing database that the user has open but NOT current on his screen?
For example, the user has DWG1 open and DWG2 open and currently active, my program modifies DWG1 (inactive) and when the program tries to run...
dwg1DB.SaveAs(filename, true, DwgVersion.Current, dwg1DB.SecurityParameters)
it errors with an elock violation, even though I lock the document with dwg1DOC.LockDocument before I try to save and unlock it after.
The same code runs fine on the current document so at this time I just ended making the other document current just to save it then switch back to previously current document.
What am I missing to save a document that is open but not current?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Closing Active File Without Saving?
Mar 27, 2013Trying to create a bit of code that when the 'OnNew Document' event is fired the code checks for a particular Custom Property. Depending on what the Custom Property is set to a form is then fired with relevant text to point the user to a specific area in the workspace. Al this works ok.
But if they press cancel i need the code close the activate 'Part1' which inturn then allows the user to select 'New' to begin again.
I have tried various scenarios but the main problem is that Inventor then crashes!
PublicSub applicationEvents_OnNewDocument(DocumentObject As Inventor._Document, BeforeOrAfter As Inventor.EventTimingEnum, Context As Inventor.NameValueMap, ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) Handles applicationEvents.OnNewDocument

AutoCAD .NET :: Outputting DXF File From Active Drawing?
Oct 18, 2012I have several closed ployline shapes in a particular layer, I need to know a way to:
a) pick all the entites on that layer
b) export to a dxf file each individual entity on the layer (yes, each entity saved to a separate dxf)
I am almost positive I can answer 'a' on my own using an object collection and a conditional statement? I am really more interested in how to export an entity from current open drawing to a dxf file in .net

Aug 1, 2013Whenever I save a drawing, it goes to a temp file. I have to do a 'save as' to bring the dwg back to the original folder. Our in-office guru thought it had something to do with the new AutoCAD 360, but I have never even signed in to that, and when we did open it, nothing was in it.

AutoCAD LT :: File Size Increases After Saving Drawing
May 23, 2013We use LT 2012, and recently we started having issues with file size.
Some of our drawings went from 1.5MB to 12MB after saving.
We tried saving as DXF then PURGE, -PURGE to reduce the size but always comes back.
Now, in one of the drawings I did PURGE, AUDIT, -PURGE and erased everything in the drawing, file is still 1.8MB.

AutoCAD .NET :: Adding MVBlocks To Open But NOT Active Drawing
Nov 6, 2012I have written a program that basically replaces certain mvblocks, tags actually, in several drawings, the purpose being to change the displayed label of an object.
I have just 2 of the 3 affected drawings open and just 1 of those 2 is acually active at the time the program runs.When I run the program the tags in the open and active drawing get replaced fine.
The tags in the open but NOT active drawing appear unchanged but a "regen" causes them to go away but the new tags do not appear, if I save, close, and reopen the drawing, as the drawing is reopening I see the new tags but the label text is offset and just prior to the drawing being fully open (back at "command" prompt) the tag text does move to its correct location. a save now saves the drawing correctly so on subsequent openings everything is correct.
The tags in the unopened drawing, when I do open it, once again, I see the new tags but the label text is offset and just prior to the drawing being fully open (back at "command" prompt) the tag text does move to its correct location. a save now saves the drawing correctly so on subsequent openings everything is correct.
Regardless of the state (open, unopen, active, inactive) I am running each drawing through the same subroutines to delete the old tag and put on the new as I am passing the drawing DB to the subroutines, the only difference being that I am putting a document lock on the open drawings documents before I start the subroutines.
I do have the CommandFlags.Session flag set on the command that launches the program. So, what am i missing that the new tags are not showing up in the open but inactive dwg until the drawing is saved and reopened, and then in both, open and inactive and the unopened dwg the label text appears offset until the dwg opens completely?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Drawing Active Standard
Dec 16, 2008I'm new to the style library and how to take an existing drawing that was created on one standard, and changing it to another standard I just created. The new standard has different dimension styles, text, and layers. I've added all the styles to my style library and I've set the new standard to the active standard in both the styles and standards editor and the document settings. If I create a new view, it comes in on the new standard, but the existing views are still on the old. How to I get the existing views on the new standard?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Update Table In Drawing - IPart Active Row
Feb 27, 2013I have two tables on a drawing one showing a parts list the other changes to dimensions.
The table to show the dimension changes is a configuration table pointing to an ipart.
iLogic is used to update the ipart but you have to right click to update the Active Member in the ipart to see the drawing update.
Is there a way to automate the 'update active member'? (on the ipart table - this does update the drawing)
I just have the one row in the table, it's purpose was to pass the values onto the drawing (as the part resizes I didn't want the dimensions moving so opted to tabulate them) - hoping they would update!
or
Is there a way to have a table update parametrically i.e. I've tried .csv as a source to the table but can't force an update. This way I could scrap the ipart & just import the values to a table.
The table also includes some txt comments which change with the ipart properties.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Active Drawing Standard With ILogic
Sep 2, 2011I am trying to have one drawing with B size and E size sheets I am trying to get the border, title block and standard to change when the sheet format changes. I can get it to work when I run the rule but have hard time find information to just change when sheet format changes. And I can't find anything or I should say a sample of how to. I think I found the code just don't know how to make it work. Here is what I have so far.

IfActiveSheet.Size="E"Then
ActiveSheet.TitleBlock="G&T (E)"
ActiveSheet.Border="G&T Border (E)"
EndIf
IfActiveSheet.Size="B"Then

AutoCAD Architecture :: Quickview - Show Thumbnail Preview Of Active Drawing?
Jun 25, 2013We are using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 on machines running Windows 7. When multiple AutoCAD drawings are open on most machines in the office the icon in the Windows Toolbar shows multiple stacked AutoCAD images, and when you hover over those icons, all of the open drawings appear in thumbnail across the bottom. (This is a very nice feature!)
Unfortunately one machine in the office is not doing that with AutoCAD. That machine will show multiple icons and thumbnail previews for PDFs, Word files, etc., but not AutoCAD. Is there a setting that can be changed to make the thumbnail drawings for ALL open drawings appear when hovering over the icon in the Windows Toolbar? (That computer will show a thumbnail preview of the active drawing, but not all open drawings.)
AutoCAD Inventor :: Turn Off Active Factory Member Option When Placing A Drawing View?
Feb 20, 2013I create a drawing of an iPart, while doing so I have the iPart model open in the background. When placing a view on the drawing the active factory member is the default option, I have a bad memory so forget to tell Inventor that actually I would like to use a specific iPart member in this particular drawing view. I then spend a long time laying out and dimensioning the drawing. When complete, I create a second sheet and copy all information from sheet 1 onto sheet 2. I then double click on the main drawing view and change the model state to an alternative factory member. At this point I realise that the drawing on sheet one is based on the active factory member and start swearing.
The result of changing to a different member when the existing drawing is based on the active member is that ALL DIMENSIONS DISSAPEAR FROM THE DRAWING AND HAVE TO BE PAINSTAKINGLY REPLACED. At this point I will usually REDRAW SHEET 1 so that further sheets can be created quickly in the future by selecting an alternative factory member.
can I change the software defaults somewhere in the setup to prevent the 'active factory member' being displayed as an option in the first place?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Active Project File Changes Randomly On Different Users Machines
Mar 19, 2013We have had this issue now for a couple years and don't know what is causing it. We are using vault pro with admin set single project file. A user can work for months using correct.ipj, then randomly at 10:42 they will notice the active project was been changed to some other temporary project location "c: emp.....". Then it will happen to different users at different times. I cant seem to find any correlation to anything. I can only imagine that it is somehow triggered from the vault addin.
We are inventor 1012 and vault 2012 pro.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Active Project - Open File And Save Are Slow?
Aug 7, 2013I am having an issue when opening and saving files is very slow when I have a project active in the Project Navigator.
If I have an active project, and I open a file via Project Navigator or Windows Explorer, the process hangs for 15-20+ seconds at the 'Opening C:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ac$' point, where it is creating the temporary file.
If I 'Close the current project' in the project browser and open the same file via Windows Explorer, the process takes less than a second.
Edge Animate CC :: Working With Polygon Shapes And Defining Active / Non-active Mouseover Areas?
Mar 7, 2014Since Edge only has rectangles and ellipses built in as available shapes, how to I/we work with polygon shapes and active mouseover areas INSIDE of these shapes and non-active mouseover areas OUTSIDE of the shapes?
Problem/symptom: when I import a polygon, be it any file format from from Photoshop or SVG from Illustrator, a rectangular border/background (transparent) gets applied, leading to this rectangle defining the mouseover area of the shape - and not the shape itself (be it a star or whatever).
WHAT I WANT: the very shape defines the mouseover area. How do I achieve this?? See examle below:
WHAT I DON'T WANT: how is is now:
