I am not too bothered which version of AutoCAD it is, but I have access to 2011.
Where can I get the proper and detailed documentation.I reference acdbmg, acmgd as well as Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.
URL....I have a jpg file that I needed to apply some transparency to and saved it as a png file. I now want to delete the jpg file but it's being referenced in several drawings, but I don't know which ones. Is there a way to reverse the function of Reference Manager, ie find all the drawing files that reference my jpg file?

I needed to use an xref so loaded up the external references box to view all available xrefs. Since i did this i cant get rid of the xref box. Its there whenever i load cad up, load a new drawing and when switching clean screen on and off. Ive tried the close button in the top corner but it still returns.

I have a recurring problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have my existing grade TIN surface as a data shortcut into my roadway design file, but it sometimes will not update when opening the drawing. The surface profile will not display until the surface is manually synced. Any labels that are associated with that surface (or other object) will just display the ??? because it can't seem to connect to the data. After a manual sync it seems to come back.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was able to take the attributes from block references in independent .dwg files and and bring them across to a new drawing via import. At this point, there are a few attributes that I would like to be able to add to each block reference once it's created. I've designed a GUI where users can input data, and this input (string data) I'd like to add to the block reference as a tag and a corresponding value.
The basics I understand are to create an attribute reference object. Set the properties / parameters for this object (tag and value (originally as a string) and them append the attribute to the block reference. What i don't know how to do is to actually create the new tags and values in the code so that they can later be appended. I'm in C# and so far i've got this:
foreach (ObjectId id in blockBtr)
{
if (id.ObjectClass == RXClass.GetClass(typeof(AttributeDefinition)))

Whenever I use "attachimage" within a drawing, I specify relative path. I would assume that if I open the file on another computer, AutoCAD would be able to find the image as long as it is in the same folder as the DWG file. This is never the case. I always get an error message stating that the reference is missing and it asks if I want to update its location. What good is specifying a relative path then? I'm using AutoCAD 2010.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently configured various borders for our Inventor software and have now turned to AutoCAD to do the same.
Within Inventor you can specify grid references around the border. eg A-F along the top and 1-5 on the vertical. Can this be done with AutoCAD 2011????

ACA2011.I've got a construct that for some reason has 2 xrefs listed within it that I can't detach. It says that it is unresolved and when I try to detach it it says "c_Floor Plan - First" has multiple references, Not detached." This is one of two xrefs in the drawing doing this...how is it possible to have an xref of the same name in the drawing? I can't figure out how to detach it. It was causing problems in the view to which it was referenced, and I solved it by creating a bogus, blank construct called "test" and changed the path of the xref in the construct to this drawing...but I still can't detach it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPossible to open a drawing that was created with AutoCad Civil3D 2011 and create all of your Civil objects and data references if it is a bad idea to then open it at a later date in AutoCad Civil as Autocad 2011. Does this effect any of the data in the drawing. It has been recommended here that we do this for making minor line/text edits as some folks have slower computers that cant handle the civil side of the program.
why we are constantly facing corrupt drawing files that lose references.
Is there a procedure or command to use on an opened drawing to see if the drawing is used as an external reference anywhere else? For example, can I open Drawing A and determine whether it is used as an external reference in Drawing B without going to Drawing B and looking at the external references palette?

When I try and open the newly created files, it gives a bunch of error messages looking for FEA files, as well as missing some OLE links, which is good as I don't want to send on any FEA information with the model, but is there a way to strip that out completely from the model without having to go through each individual file and deleting all of the simulations?

Is there any way at all to explode all block references in a drawing so that basically all block references no longer exist and they're just sat in their relevant layers.
In short... exploded :p
But I mean one way to get ALL of them.
I've been asked to create several drawings using one external reference which contains doors, bund walls, lighting etc. My question is how do I take this external reference and create several new drawings when I cant even turn layers on or off once I have inserted it onto my new page?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having is that this is happening with a dynamic block. I don't know how it got this way...some 'genius' in my office went into this file and screwed something up, and saved it...so now I'm left with the task of fixing it.
When I go into the block, it opens as a regular drawing, with a dynamic block inside of it...as opposed to opening in the block editor. I just need to know how to get this back to the way it should be, without having to redraw the entire thing from scratch. I made a few scrap-copies of the drawing to fool around with and I can't find a solution. I tried deleting the block and purging it, I tried exploding it, and I tried saving it directly from the block editor...nothing worked.
A co-worked has made a mention of "Reference Alignments not found in Reference Drawing" error message popping up multiple times this morning and said he thinks it is a trendd in many drawings that have been worked on. In my experience this message pops up if you move the location of the reference drawing, or change the name of the alignment without synchronizing.
The issue is it has been said that this is fatal erroring the drawings.
I have not worked on the project myself and am just relaying what i heard-
I know this is a very vague question, we have 2011 Civil 3d
My company has many divisions. One division developed a VB.net program to automate some designs. They asked me to try it out and it wiped out all references to iLogic in Inventor. The panel is missing in the manage tab, and when I right click to select panels it does not appear in the list. I keep the iLogic browser open at all times and it is gone too.
I tried doing a repair and a re-install and neither has worked. My next step is to uninstall and re-install.
Is there another way to get the iLogic features back in case I have to test something else?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use this palette all the time and keep the icon displayed (in hidden form) on every session that I open. I started AutoCad this morning and "external reference" icon was not displayed on the screen. I went to the tools tab and selected the external reference palette. A box was displayed that could not be hidden and all screen function were stopped until I closed this box.
I went to customize tool palettes and compared it to the properties palette and they looked the same. I want to get my external reference palette function back to the way it was.
I am working on a gearbox design and would like the housing to automatically update several dimensions if the shaft size, length, or position changes. I am not having much success. I can create the component in the assembly, and project geometry to create the initial model without a problem. However, the modeled features are not updating when the referenced components change.

Is it possible to create more than one data reference at a time?
I have approximately 30 alignments with over 100 profiles in my profile design drawing. The interface to create the data shortcuts allows me to do so by selecting multiple alignments and profiles. This works well and is efficient. To create the data references I have to create the reference for each alignment and profile one at time. I estimate this will take at least 30 minutes.

There are several drawings that when I try to open I get a popup message "References - Unresolved Reference Files". The message box is clear with only the border and the description in the blue bar at the top of the message box. AutoCad LT 2011 locks up and I have to do a Task kill. The same drawing can be opened by most of our other users, but some experience the same issue. When AutoCad is restarted, I get a "Drawing Recovery" empty/clear popup message message freezing AutoCad AGAIN, requireing another Task kill. I have to open a 3rd time, and if I had another drawing open, it's gone and doesn't appear to be recoverable.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know that data referenced drawings can be included in an eTransmit. However the drefs don't appear to repath when doing so. Any way to promote data references using eTransmit?
For context, we are trying to find a good way to archive all the project files at certain milestones. eTransmit does a good job of gathering up all the files referenced in a sheet set. It appears to repath the acad xrefs but the drefs still refer back to the working model files.
