AutoCAD VB :: Unable To Determine Location Of Data In Drawing

Jan 13, 2012

I have a drawing that has erp data (somehow) attached to plain text (acadText). I have been unable to determine where this data is embedded or 'hidden" in the drawing - The attached drawing has three text entities, each with erp data attached.

Most of my VBA programming is in Inventor and my AutoCAD coding is not that strong. I have tried  listing the text, browsed the drawing database (vLisp editor), tried the data extraction tool and run (entget (car (entsel))) and so far have been unable to find the embedded data.

I am trying to access the embedded data because the erp system updates the visible text with the BOM item number when the BOM  is changed in the erp screen (which is very time consuming and a big pain), however this fails when our drafting guys take a shortcut and change the number manually. With multiple balloons, we cannot tell which one(s) have been changed manually. I am hoping to code a macro that displays the embedded data which can be compared to the visible text value.

AutoCad :: How To Delete Empty Layer

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Search Database / Tables To Determine If New Layers Present In Drawing

Dec 6, 2013

Is there a way to search the database/tables/whatever to determine if new layers are present in a drawing?

I want to run a script to reconcile new layers in the sheet drawings after having cleaned the xref drawings, and the script bombs if there are no new layers present in the parent drawing.

If I could determine what triggers the layereval/layernotify sequence (tblsearch?) I could include an if or while lisp routine that would invoke the layer command and then reconcile the new layers.

Photoshop :: CC Copied Shape Layer Icons Appear Empty

Jul 28, 2013

Not sure if this is a bug, or has been previously reported, but using large thumbnails in the layers panel with copied shape layers.  You can see that Shape 2 shows content, but the thumbs on the copies appear empty.  Not life and death, but those thumbs are useful - when they work.

Illustrator :: Differentiate Empty And Non-empty Pixels

Oct 31, 2013

I'm a web developer currently slicing an illustrator file for web graphics. Some of the icons and images have shadows, lights, etc, and it's impossible to simply see by a naked eye which pixels contains some shade or nearly transparent color and which doesn't.
 
It would be extremely useful if I could somehow easily differentiate between empty and non-empty pixels, so I wouldn't miss any when slicing.

AutoCAD LT :: Copy Layer From One Drawing In Model Source To Another Drawing In Paper Source

Nov 7, 2013

I need to copy a layer from one drawing to another, the problem is that one of them is in model and the other one is in paper. The method I tried using was: I used the q select command to copy all objects from one layer on to the clipboard and then tried pasting it in the other drawing (which was in paper) - and nothing got pasted.

Photoshop :: Drawing Outside The Layer Auto-Select Layer

Feb 19, 2008

I have an image with 8 layers and i want to draw lines. So I make a new layer. While this layer is selected, i select the line tool and draw a line. Then, as I want to move this line, I select the move tool and try to move it. But instead of moving the line I just drew, photoshop automatically switches to my background layer (although i'm not sure it's defined as "background layer") and moves the entire content of the layer.

To see what actually happened, i hid each layer in the layer palette... And still... here was my line. (with all layers hidden, is it POSSIBLE to have anything?)

I tried to select my line and then, using the move tool, move it, but the message "could not move the selection because the selected area is empty"...

AutoCad :: Drawing By Block Not By Layer

Mar 8, 2012

for some reason when i select a layer and draw a line (lets go with blue) it draws a white line, though in layer manager it says i'm drawing a blue line. when you click, then rt click the line, go to properties it says the line is drawn "by block" once i switch it to "by layer" the proper colors come up. I am altering a drawing so its easier for me to draw in a different color to see what i've done and what was already there.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Does Zero Layer Control The Drawing

Jul 11, 2012

we have a drawing where we were un-able to use snaps (end, per, quad, etc.) on any blocks.

It seems like this particular drawing has issues not seen elsewhere.(besides the fact it was badly drawn) After some time playing with all the settings. We turned on the zero layer and then all the nodes were available as usual.

i've been using AutoCad for 20 years and never seen this. Is this some kind of new feature?Can you control the snaps with a layer? WHY?

AutoCAD VB :: Opening Drawing And Creating A New Layer

Aug 15, 2011

I am trying to automate opening a document and inserting a new layer in it.  Inserting the layer and opening the document is quite easy, but doing both is proving to be quite difficult.

Here is the Code that I am working with.  The code for creating the layer works fine in an already opened document.  It seems that autocad cannot find the opened file. 

Sub Open_and_new_layer()Application.Documents.Open ("C:UsersPatrickDesktopAutocad program66986691_BL_01.dwg")Dim strLayer As StringstrLayer = "BOM"Dim layCurrent As AcadLayerOn Error Resume NextSet layCurrent = ThisDrawing.Layers(strLayer)If layCurrent Is Nothing ThenSet layCurrent = ThisDrawing.Layers.Add(strLayer)If layCurrent Is Nothing ThenMsgBox "Error creating layer " & strLayer & "."Exit SubEnd IfEnd IfThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = layCurrentEnd Sub

AutoCad :: Scale 1:1 From Model Drawing To Layer

Feb 27, 2013

I have been using Autocad 2000i LT for a number of years now but with limitations.(self tought of a fag packet) I am trying to get it to work for me rather than me work for it! Normally i use it for doing for producing panel wiring drawings, the way i normally do this is have a drawing on layer 1 then copy paste for additional layers, though this works ok, when i need to change eg date / site ref i have to change it on every page. I know by doing the basics on the model this then transfers to the other layouts. Plots set up for A4 landscape, on model / layer scale set to 1:1 I do drawing on model then when choose new layer the drawing scales down even though set 1:1 paper size same ect.

AutoCad :: How To Set Layer Filter And Transfer It From One Drawing To Another

Oct 5, 2011

I have AutoCAD LT 2008 soon to be LT 2012 and I also have AutoCAD 2012.

I would like to know if there is a way that I can set up a Layer Filter and transfer it from one drawing to another.

Ideally we would be able to do this in the LT version not full. If there is some way to do this with Tool Palletes that would be great.

AutoCad :: How To Make A Drawing Into One Layer / Base

I'm relatively new to Autocad so still learning the ropes.

I've been given a set of drawings from a client to design a system on. What I want to do is turn the drawing they have given me into one layer so that I can turn it on and off to just see my system. Is this possible? If so how?

The drawing has about 300 layers currently and a lot of blocks as well.
