I realized many people need code in a txt file so I have attached two from my previous posts.
Both are having the same problem where the code runs to completion but does not update the xrefs. I am still guessing there is some xref edit that I am missing other than database.xrefeditenabled
Using ACA 2012 and Windows 7 Pro x64. I have a drawing with two viewports. In one I'm showing the electrical layers and the base floor plan. In the other I'm showing casework and the base floor plan. All of the layers are contained in one xref so some are frozen in each viewport. When I bind that xref using the insert method (bindtype=1) some of the electrical layers show in the casework plan. I've tried everything I know of but I can't figure out how to surpress this behavior. If I use bindtype=0 the problem goes away but I end up with ugly layer names.

This has messed everything up with the ex-refs in CAD. Is there a way to change that saved paths for the ex-refs and reload, or do I have to start from scratch?
After some infrastructure changes, I need to repath all of my xrefs. I know I can easily do this using the Reference Manager, and I have. However, when I open the drawings that I have updated, the xref images (jpg, png, etc) do not display, but rather only show the image border. I must then go into the External References pallette in each drawing and reload each reference. This works fine, but it is awfully clunky, as I must do this for every drawing.
Is there a way I can batch reload these references after updating the path in Reference Manager?
What is the best method to re-path x-refs in a project whose folder has been moved. We are talking about 60-100 x-refs here.The originals were created in ACA 2009 and were not pathed relatively; nor was Project Navigator used. We are currently using ACA 2014.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set up a master set of dwg. files we use to create our construction documents. The files consist of a master file that xrefs base files. All of our files are named using the project # first. (i.e. 2011001c.dwg). I have set up the master set using x's to replace the numbers.
Here is how it works:
XXXXXXXc.dwg (master file) relative path xref's the following files.
XXXXXXXlw.dwg
XXXXXXXvlw.dwg
XXXXXXXeg
XXXXXXXfg
XXXXXXXtitleblock
note: all of these files are saved in the same folder.
I am trying to find a way to keep the xref paths working when I copy the files to a project folder and rename the files using the actual job # insead of the x's as place holders. As it is now, when I change the drawing name the reference is lost and I have to manually change all of the xref paths in the xref manager. Is there a command, program, or lisp routine than can change the file names and update the paths automatically.
I'm working with xrefs. As of yesterday, the "Display Lineweight" option was checked on all the files.
My process is, open the xref; find out the layer it (the object in question) is on, adjust that layer by using the LA command. I click on "open xref" and make my adjustments to the lineweights at that point. Then I click save changes, and a dialog box appears saying, this will save all the edit changes. At that point, (after indicating I want to save the changes,) the file reverts back to it's pre-edited state, before the lineweights were adjusted.
If the "Display Lineweights" option is checked, in a normal file, everything works as it should.
i have a large number of drawings that need xrefs detached and re-attached with the latest model xrefs, any way to do them in bulk rather than opening each individual drawing? the problem started a while back, when opening drawings, ACAD is not loading the latest 'saved' model when opening drawings...
View 5 Replies View RelatedQuite often I will copy and paste some files out of an older project and move it to a new folder. Any file being x-ref'd is still pointing to the old location as it have saved the full path.
Is there a way to not let it save full path? When I copy and paste the files to the new folder I would like the x-ref's to default to the new location. If I cannot I need to detach several x-ref files and reattach them and rearrange it all again.
Since autodesk developers didn't think of the fact that somebody might want to change the material of the bolt or hollow sections when it get's saved in the library, is there any way of changing the default saving path of the content center generated parts? These parts are getting saved in the library folder at the moment so Inventor doesn't allow me to change their material.

View 8 Replies View Relatedhere is the question,basicly, i have a folder named "A", and this folder include 5 DWGs, named 1,2,3,4,5. "1" is the main DWG, so, 2,3,4,5 is attached or overlayed to main file. First step im copying this folder from server, and im pasting to my desktop.Im doing some modifications on xref files, and im uploading "A" folder to my friend's partage from local company server. its allright till here..
my collegue is copying this same folder "A" and opening main file, and main file reading another "3" file from his desktop... this is the problem. file names are same, and it has to be this way. i want to make the main file read from its own folder. we are using 2008, 2012.

The track's path is a loft with it's path defined as a line, and the loft shape is a rectangle to represent the cross section of the track. I'm trying to apply banking to the corner by using a different shape part way along the loft... however, the result is that the track twists the wrong way so that the top of the track becomes the side and vice versa.

I've been having this problem changing the Paint Tool in the Stroke Path Dialog .
I'm using GIMP v2.6.11
First I stroke a path using the Paintbrush as the paint tool. Then I change the Paintbrush to Airbrush and try to stroke the same path and it seems like it's still using the Paintbrush (or even worse, it does nothing at all). Sometimes I reopen the stroke path dialog and it seems to have reverted back to the last paint tool I used (Paintbrush) and my Airbrush selection seems to have been completely ignored.
Currently if I want to stroke with different paint tools I have to do the following. Stroke with Paintbrush, stoke with Pencil and then undo (for some reason changing from the pencil tool doesn't have the problem), then stroke with Airbrush. I always have to do this intermediary step of stroking and undoing with a pencil to get the new paint tool to register.
I am trying to create text along a spiral path, and I need the text to get smaller as the spiral gets smaller towards the center. Something like this...
I have read that there has been a script called "ChangeSizesOfTextSelection.js" but it's for a much older version of Illustrator.
I am currently on CS6.
I got this error many different times and the problem still continues.
When I change the stroke weight from the Strokes menu arrows or by scroll, this action changes my path's shape and distorts it. You can see the problem below:
I got similar errors when scaling a couple of times. But this one looks just impossible to me.
Is it possible to bind a drawing and have only the objects visible in the viewport to remain in model space after binding. I'm working with some pretty big models and am trying to reduce file sizes after binding.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a client who is working on the edge of a MGA coordinate zone - as they are near the edge of the zone their scale factor is large and needs to be factored in to all setouts (it makes 50mm of difference over 100 metres.)
their previous solution has been to work day to day at 1 to 1 scale and then xreference this back into a MGA projection by using a scale factor around a single point false origin.
As they are moving away from this false origin - the scale factor is changing slightly.
Is it possible to create a user grid at 1 to 1 for the day to day use and then query this into a MGA drawing. via ADEQUERY to bring it back to MGA ?
This drawing file doesnt allow copy to clipboard or even binding on to other drawing. It was originally sent to us from another company, I have deleted all the objects and layers, purged it. If I create a new line or other object, Ctrl+C doesnt work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that all of my dimensions and text have changed colour to white, with my by layer colour as an outline of the text, the arrows and lines still look correct however. I put the dimensions on a seperate layer and this seemed to happen after hiding this layer then later unhiding it. I have looked through the properties to change the colour unsuccessfully.
On another note, the monochrome print option does not work when creating a plot - it will still create it in colour. What can I do to sort these issues? It is fustrating as all I really need to do with this drawing is to export the it for a report and it looks messy!
I am using Photoshop CS6. I am not in quickmask, I am using the essentials pallete I am creating a path not a shape, and I have a new blank layer selected. When I right click on my path, stroke path is available but it just won't do anything. I have been able to get it to work by going to my paths palette and selecting stroke path from there but that is a lot more time consuming.
