The below code is one part of code which am using now and i got this solutions here only. Now comming to problem: i am trying my best for select all from screen without opening AutoCAD but they are not successful.
Need to alter this piece of code so that it will select all without opening CAD

I have a problem with my layer controls. When I open a DWG-file I need to go to my layer properties manager and select "All" layers to be able to select a specific layer in my dwg.
It is pretty annoying when you need to open layer properties manager every time you open a dwg and select "All" just to be able to select a specific layer.
Is there any default settings that I have to change so it's selected "All" by default?
after 2013 was installed in my colleagues computer he now has the option to include Layouts when opening the publishing command, which didn't happen before. It is a slight pain removing these from the selection to be published and I was wondering how I get it to only select models and not layouts when opening the publish command as default.
I am new to photoshop lightroom. I have imported photos to lightroom previously. I want to go back and edit again. I tried going to file, then open catalog, next I select a folder, finally I see all my photos.I try to select photos but I am unable to.
I accidentally turned something on in Autocad, and I want it to go away, I have no idea what it's called or how to get it gone. It's akin to the "select other" window in Inventor when you select at the intersection of several objects.
Right now, when i click one object and then another, the first object becomes deselected. Holding shift is the only way for me to select multiple lines right now (other than dragging of course) but that's not what I'm used to and it annoys me a lot. At first everything is fine but then after a while it does this without me changing any options at all.
master im new in autocad 2014....i have a problem now when i select line or object it highlight or make a broken line....but when i select the other object or line my previous selected back to normal..i mean i can select only one line if i use single selecting....how to select all object or line with single select continuously, except using hold left click...
When I click the select tool, a brown selection type of rectangle appears in a particular area of the illustration, even though I have not clicked on the illustration yet. I assume it is some type of warning indication, but don't know what. P.S. It is draggable and scaleable - I can move it off the artboard. An example:
I know this discussion title is a bit murky, but the problem is a bit odd. I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2. In this version, I will activate the Select Tool, check Auto-Select: Layer, check Show Transform Controls, and then while using the Select Tool I will drag to create a rectangle to select multiple layers with content within the specified area.
Unfortunately, this action only works when I begin the selection from outside of the canvas area. If started from within the canvas area, no rectangle will appear, it will show me a measurement of my selection size, and then no layers will be selected upon release.
This cannot be working as intended right? I mean multi-select dragging cannot be intended to only work when started outside of the canvas right? Is there some way to fix this issue? Is this a bug? See the images below for more information on this issue.
I work with shapes all day designing mobile apps. Thus, I'm constantly selecting and resizing rounded rectangles. When resizing I have to individually select all four points of a side to move it without distorting the rounded corners. I cannot click and drag, because that will activate any shapes underneath the one I want to select.
I'm looking for a plugin or alternative to easily select the entire side of a rounded rectangle. IE - I click one point on a side, and it auto selects all four points on that side, or the like.
I remember being able to select anything on the canvas with my Quick Select tool in CS5.5 Photoshop Extended. Recently, making the switch to CC, the Quick Select tool will show my slection as I drag along the canvas, but once I release the mouse, the selection seems to be reduced to the visible pixels. I was intentionally trying to fill the transparent sections with my effects as well.
Mind you, the magic wand will select transparent pixels just fine, but it also adds unintentional sections which is irritating. I should probably also pint out that I already looked into the "lock transparence" option in the layers, but I did not activate anything of the sort.
I'd like to know the alternatives in 3ds Max to these popular tools:
1-When you have selected an edge loop, let's say, on a plane, how to select the polygons inside that loop? At the moment I'm using the split tool as a (very bad) workaround.
2-When you have selected some polygons, how to select the edges on the "boudndary"? (kinda the opposite of the above) At the moment I'm using the detach as element and border selection as a (very bad) workaround.
way of opening images in CS2 where after opening they will appear in the middle of the CS screen rather then in the top left corner?
I can drag and maximize so they appear in the middle, but on reopening another image they default to the top left again, I would like them to always open in the middle?
I can do this in AutoCAD Map but I have my doubts. I will explain in ESRI GIS terms (this is what I am familiar with) and I hope you can tell me if I can do this in AutoCAD Map. In ESRI ArcMap I can select a line and I can hit a Select by Location button. In this window I can select all of the objects that intersect my selected line. Then I can delete them or export them etc.
In AutoCAD Map I have a polyline selected. It is my road centerline. I want to be able to select all of the other polylines that intersect my selected polyline. Is there a way to do this? I need to erase those polylines. Usually I will pan to each of them and select them individually. It just seems to take a lot of time. My AutoCAD co-worker said I could use a fence and draw the fence through my polylines. It seemed to work ok but I accidently deleted extra things that I needed. So I'm back to manually selecting each one by one unless you know a different way.
I have two questions for CS4, which may not be possible, and I didn't find in the feature forums.
1) Is there a way to do a color range selection created from all the colors that were selected from the magic wand tool. See attached image one.
2) Is there a way to crop an image based on histogram? For example if I wanted to remove all px that were above level 200 for all colors (or a specific color). Can effect the image at all from the histogram (without an side step to something like select color range)?
I'm working with very large images on multiple systems (both 32 and 64 bit, all CS4). Normally in the 50,000x30,000 -- 50,000x70,000 px range. For the sake of argument and ease of use I could scale down but eventually need to be operating in this range. The images are created by stitching a series of images taken under high magnification. I would like to find ways to quantify certain regions of interested based on color, but that do not have great color separation (see image 1). The hope would be take this information from several images and export the histogram information. As far as cropping the histogram is concerned: the scanning process used to create the stitched images produces a lot of near white color variation that so far I've been unable to select entirely (via color range select using clusters). I would say my best effort is only 85% of the "white" (see image 2) I want to drop out the white px for size reduction and noise reduction when it comes to histogram statistics.
Also I know this is pushing the limits of intention for PS, but we tried this on three other software packages-seemingly designed for these purposes--and failed.
Is there a way to make the color select tool not only select a specific color but related shades as well. I have a graphic that is mainly shades of gray but with black outlines and divisions as well as other colors mixed in. I want to shift all the shades of gray to shades of dark yellow without have to select each shade individually.
I cannot seem to actual select or add to Selection Set using the Select --> CP/WP option.
The objects are highlighted but not selected. Therefore I cannot change the color for all the objects example.
I follow these precise steps (in the link) and end up with highlighted items but not "selected" items. The final enter command actually de-highlights to objects.
It works if you start with a modify command first such as move, and only then perform the CP/WP but that doesn't appear to be the case in the video. It would really good in the end, the objects are actually selected with anchors in which i can do other things then modify.
I know that you can select all instances of a block reference by using QSELECT and specifying Block Reference and then where "Name" equals your given block name.
Is there a way to quickly select a block by name (exactly like the above), and then 'afterwards' reduce that selection down to just those blocks where attribute X is equal to a given string?
I have a strange thing that recently started on a file that I've been working for a while. All of a sudden I can't select line/poly lines to modify, howe3ver I can with others on the same layer. I've noticed the lines I have problems with are generally in the same direction. Some times I can highlight but can't tag to the snap markers. I did <change> command and did a select – all and changed the elevation to '0' and it actually worked for a while, but it reappeared again. When I hit regen those lines disappear and reappear again when I open the file again or when I play with the attribute display.
How to properly select a hatch? i find i'm constantly skimming my mouse all over the hatch trying to find a spot where i can actually select it... sometimes it's super super precise, and if i move my mouse even a tiny bit off it'll disappear.
I'm reading a .dwg in from a database and writing to a local file.I'm using the following code to open it after I write it to a local file. Application. Document Manager.Open(filepath); What is happening is soon as it gets to that line of code AutoCAD either crashes or it has a StackOverflowException.
I've stepped through and before I go to open the file I have double check it is there. Also after AutoCAD crashes if I go to where I wrote the file to and open it that way I can open it by double clicking it.
We have a problem with using our AutoCAD LT 2012 on our the network:
If a folder on the network is for the designer read-only, AutoCAD file open and reports the error "drawing file is not valid". Designers who have write-access to this folder open files with the same version AutoCAD (LT 2012) without a problem. If I add write-access right to users to this folders, he open it fine.
The problem is only with network folders (sharing Win2008 server); if it is a local folder with read-only access, AutoCAD will recognize it and offer opening for reading only. This version (LT 2012 SP2) has apparently some problem with access to network folders with read-only rights.
If the file is opened via the "Open read-only" from the pull-down menu in the Open AutoCAD dialogue, it works well. This approach is however very inconvenient - designer finds a link to a file in our information system, he wants to open the file, but get the above error.
Copy the file to local disk isnt usually possible, because of using XREFs files, which he also need to load.
The problem is possibly in an attempt to create a DWL file. We didn't use the function WhoHas, so that a possible solution would be to disable the creation of these DWL files. But this option in ACad LT 2012 isnt possible.Is is solution to migrate to new AutoCAD LT 2014?
I am autocad 2010 user. I have drawing files from consultants with custom linetypes. I have deleted the. shx file but need to change line type. How do I select the relevant lines to convert to normal line type?
