Mar 25, 2013I am aware of regex and several other string methods, but have not seen a built in way of checking against multiple patterns allowing for asterisks.

quick easy way to do this? Maybe a plugin?
quick and convenient way to keep projects in step between computers, e.g. doing some work on a laptop and then bringing that back to a main PC for further editing, then back to laptop, etc.? Is exporting as a Smart Package the way to go? Are there any alternatives such as keeping a consistent folder structure on both machines so that all media paths are the same and just syncing the differences?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI very often need to take the background away from a person the only examples show a solid color background. That is not what I need to know. What I need to do is take a person out of a background without having them look like helmet heads. So often I receive camera-ready ads with photographs that have been revised. The creator uses the lasso tool and cuts a person away from the background and the head looks like a helmet. Does CS4 (or, for that matter, CS3) have an easier way to do that as compared to CS2?

The source photos are all different sizes. Is there a faster/easier method of producing something like this rather than resizing every image to fit a predefined size and then manually placing them on separate layers?
When creating movies from video taken I add both background music, narration and sometimes sound effects.
When using background music in particular I prefer to reduce the volume during narration so that the narration can easily be heard. I have been doing that using the 'rubber band' by trial and error - I reduce the volume by 'pulling' the 'rubber band' down a little and then preview that section of the video to check if the volume level is correct/to my satisfaction. I note that during the process of adjusting sound level with the 'rubber band' that there is a sound level 'meter' (in decibels) but I don't seem to be able to use it. Is this (adjusting the sound level in decibels) the method I should be using and if so how is it used?
What is the best method to use when adjusting sound levels in the middle of a sound 'clip'?
I have Photoshop CS and I have an image I wanted tiled repeated as a background. I can probably shrink the image and tile it manuelly in the background but I was wondering if there was some easier way of doing it.

The original documents are all in InDesign but now we are moving everything over to a new template layout and I'm trying to find the least painful, and most quick way to do so.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.
If I drag an effect from the target circle of one object to anther in the layer's panel it replaces the effect along with all appearance. But I want just to add the effect. For example, a layer has a drop shadow and a path, round corners. I want to move the drop shadow from the layer to the path so that the path now has the round corners and the drop shadow. To do this I have to open the shadow effect of the layer wright down its parameters, then create a shadow effect for the path with the same parameters which is a lot of work.

A software problem has caused autocad to close unexpectedly.
In Autocad 2014 when I use the zoom or pan command transparently some information disappears (hatch) and only reappears when I finish the command. This did not happen with version 2009.

It can be part of a line/block/text.
It shows only on the screen and not on paper in case I print it.
I run ACAD LT 2010 on a Windows XP machine and also a Vista Laptop. I have tried to print the same drawing on both machines using the DWG to PDF facility with in AutoCAD. The drawing is a third party drawing in as much as I didn't draw it although it is an authentic ACAD DWG.
I get the same message but referring to different fonts - the message reads on the Vista machine:
"Cannot find or create the font "ArialMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
On the Windows XP machine it reads:
"Cannot find or create the font "Tahoma". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
The message seems to be generated by Adobe Reader.
My computer has 8 GB of RAM. However my autocad is not faster than a computer with 2 GB of RAM. I have Windows 7. Is there a way I can allocate more RAM to Autocad to make it run faster?

It was interesting to see that the lines had the properties of Polyline, although to my eyes it looked like a line segment.
what XID stands for in this case?
I have some problem with import SDF to dwg. Geometry in SDF is curve with mixed linear and arc segments.
But the result is not my expected result. (see image below) . All arc segments was imported not correctly.
I'm expecting my data is correctly in the sdf files, but some import mechanism not work properly.
When I make connection through FDO it's work ok.
I've been attempting to use the GEOMAP command to bring satellite imagery into one of my maps. I have followed theses steps:
1. Signed into my Autodesk360 account.
2. Assigned a coordinate system (SC83F) to my map.
3. Entered the GEO MAP command and selected "A" for aerial image.
Following these steps, I am unable to display the aerial imagery.
I've created system printers for our office using the "Add Plotter" application of AC. I've filtered paper sizes for the different printers. However, these filtered paper sizes are not the same for all workstations.
E.g. If I filter out all paper sizes and only check ISO A0 and ISO A1, on some of the workstations there are other paper sizes available. How do I avoid this from happening?
How to make PDF's which were made out of DWG"s less vague?
Same lines can come out looking good or vague. Sometime part of blocks appear vague while the other side appear good.
Using 2013, I have a drawing created in that other software ( Micro station). I opened it in autocad, and did some work to it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a batch routine that plots PDF’s of a list of drawings. Everything is working ok. It opens the drawing, turns on and off layers, and then plots to PDF. The plots come out fine, but after each plot, it opens the PDF. This would not be a problem for one or two drawings, but when doing a few hundred, it becomes quite frustrating.
I can see how to change this using the plot dialogue box, selecting DWG To PDF.pc3 and editing the custom properties. But no matter how many times I change it does not save, and will open the PDF.
I have found a work around by killing the process Acrobat.exe at the end of the plot. But is there a better way of doing this?
we modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.
I cannot seem to set the MdiActiveDocument synchronously.
I have code inside a <CommandMethod> that creates a drawing and then writes any error information to the command line. Since this is started in one document, if a fatal error occurs and the drawing does not get created, that message goes to the original document's command line.
In the case where a drawing gets created with errors (say partial success), I would like the errors to appear in the new drawing (new active document's) command line.
The behavior when setting Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument is peculiar. The application can hang for a long time if you do not click anything. If you click the document (from the taskbar or clicking on the window), it breaks out of the hang and continues to execute, but the active document is not changed. The MdiActiveDocument still points to the original document. You can also see that it does not change because doc.IsActive = False. This state could be because when you clicked, you really did make the original document active (again? still?). To break the hang, I think the click has to be on the original document.
On an example like [URL] ... there is no action taken after MdiActiveDocument is set, so I assume that it is actually set when the command is completed, not synchronously. I am not absolutely certain of this, though.
<CommandMethod("AUTODRAWPN")> _
Public Sub DrawPartNumber()
Dim ed As Editor = Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
If IsNothing(drwr) Then
[Code] .......
Is there a way to set the MDIActiveDocument? Should it be hanging like this? Should I be looking at an altogether different way to handle this?
Trying to use doc.Editor without setting the active causes a eNotApplicable error, so that is not a way out.
I am using AutoCAD 2013. The following link implies that this could be a 2013 specific problem, but I do not know that for sure. [URL] .....
