I've been trying to update a client menu and I've gotten most things figured out. They have a fairly elaborate routine set up to make sure our drawings work with their document control system as well as raster design. We are using AutoCAD 2011 and the menu's were meant for 2008.
Everything seems to run well except at this sub module and every time I load a raster drawing with a TIF the routine error's out at the line in Red below. I've tried everything I can think of to keep the routine running, and I want to refrain from just remarking it out, which seems to do the trick, but I do not want to do that unless it's for some other purpose. I just need to get their menus to work on newer versions of AutoCAD.

Working in 2013 Raster Design. The commands for raster tools are not working. When attempting to insert an image the following message appears:
c:program filesautodeskautocad raster design 2013aeciibui56.arx cannot find a dll or other file that it needs. Unknown command "IINSERT". Press F1 for help.
Similar messages appear when trying other commands located within the Raster Tools tab.
I have an assembly with a client feature that contains client graphics. I have exposed the visibility (ClientFeature.Definition.ClientGraphicsCollection[1].Visible) to the user via a context menu option. Changing the visibility currently affects all view representations. Is there a way to associate the visibility with each design view representation?
Any way to transform/rubbersheet a photo/raster so it sticks to a wall i.e. vertically and not just doing it 2D. Trying to digitise photo's taken of walls to work in a 3d model.
I have one user with AutoCAD Design Suite 2013. She is unable to run any of the Raster design commands.The Ribbon is loaded but commands are not working (unknown command).
inserting a Tiff image into a dwg file with Raster Design 2011. I have a image scanned at 400dpi and the image is a good quality image, some of the text is small be legible. When I insert the image with the imageattch command the image seems to gain pixels therefore causing some text to become unreadable. I've used the bitonal filter but then I lose some resolution. Is it normal for the TIFF image to appear more dense when brought into an Autocad drawing? If so is there a way to adjust the image to look more like the scan?
I've been trying to get the Raster Design Object Enabler for Civil 3D 2011 64 Bit to install, but every time I run the exe it says there is no target application to be found, even though Civil 3D 2011 64 Bit is quite clearly installed on the machine.
I am in the process of creating 2 lisp routines, one that loads Support file search paths on the network and one that adds support file search path locally. Each routine will be run depending on the ability of ACAD to find a file on the server. I noticed that when I add the new directories the default AutoCAD folders get replaced. I researched this and found that using the SETENV and ACAD I can include the default support paths.
The issue I am running into is that not all default folders are being added to AutoCAD when I used the ACAD variable. A plugin folder under Program Data is listed in the original install, but it is not listed when I add my directories and used the ACAD variable to add the default directories. The same thing happens when raster design is installed. The help folder and the install directory for raster are not carried over when using the ACAD variable.
I am attaching the coding for the lisp routine adding server paths. Is there some syntax I can add to tell it to append to the list instead of replacing the SFSP list?
I am trying to create a function or class can be used with the MdiActiveDocument and also with the external Database. In order words the function or class should be able to access current Document and also non-opened Databases.
My difficulty is accessing the non-opened drawings and utilizing the SelectionSet to select blocks with SelectionFilter like I could do with a MdiActiveDocument.
I would like to know if what I am trying to do is even possible, or would I have physically open the drawing to have the ability to utilize SelectionSet and filters.
dragging a video file to new items from project file results in yellow render bar sometimes even tho previous file with EXACT same properties worked with no render bar - that has been an issue since pre-CC additionally but inconsistently pre-cloud , i could drop several items on new items icon all at once and would get all media to open in individual timelines that saves tons of time when dealing with 50-100 media files at a time by eliminating sequence labeling - was a godsend - have god send it back.
I've upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and I noticed immediately that it has no option to use the Add_001.howto file that I was using in the previous version. Is there a stand alone application or method to access this file so that it would be convenient to view the previously saved tutorials that I created?
retaining more of the resolution inherent in photo or scan imported into a video, to increase the sharpness when panning or zooming across it? eg - original photo of a map may be 8Mpix. Would it work to make a hi def clip of the zoom to insert in an SD project?
I have thought about this and want to get input on a best approach to utilizing Views created in a linked Revit project file. One need is to create a Callout within the current Revit project and reference a view from another linked project. This is a common need in many of our projects
Is this possible, create a .Net 3.5 Dll(A.dll), reference to Oracle 11g 32 bit client Oracle.DataAccess.dll. this dll will be used in another dll(B.dll), which load in AutoCAD 64 bit application. 32 bit version of AutoCAD is not allowed to install on Windows 7 64 bit. Right now I set my B.dll as 'Any CPU', and A.dll as 'Any CPU' as well. Do I have to use 64 bit oracle client in my A.dll?
I have a very particular client insisting I recreate a specific lineteype. The previous technician used AutoCAD Architecture 2012 to create a shape within the linetype. I have recreated the shape, with my AutoCAD 2014, but am struggling with creating the linetype 100%, and getting into other files.
I need to beam complex P&IDs for client viewing. The drawings are in AutoCAD2012. I find it difficult to zoom and pan to the desired place. Beaming individual component P&IDs is also not an option as the client usually wants to see the enitre layout first. The entire layout, when beamed is unreadable without zooming. I was hoping for a solution similar to drilling down in databases (clubbing of data when we at the top levels and then the ability to view details when clicking on a particular cell); where only the important lines and symbols are shown at the top levels so that they can clearly be seen on beaming.
I have a builder client who sends house plans in dwg. Recently, I have been receiving a folder full of dwg files for every room, options, etc.. When I try to open, say, the first floor plan, only dimensions show up. If I open up bedroom 3, only that bedroom shows, with no dims or context. How do I get one complete plan all together?
Installed the latest Novel Client 2 SP2 for Windows (IR2a). On the first restart C3D froze. I rebooted again and I got Civil 3D going. It looked a little different and I had to import a backup profile. The biggest thing that didn't fix is the display. Our standard font is Tahoma, a TTF that appears filled. It now looks like this:
This affects both MText and text in Styles. So far I'm only having this show up in the drawing I had open just before the install and opened immediately after. I've run Audit and Recover, repaired Civil 3D, checked that the standard text style was still set to Tahoma, added the windows Font folder to the path, verified that FillMode is on. I've tried opening the drawing in a stock profile with the same results.
I reinstalled the video driver, downloaded and installed the latest from the Nvidia site and downloaded and installed the latest from the Autodesk hardware site. That's what's installed now. I've turned hardware acceleration off and back on. I've gone through each tab in Options looking for anything not set right. I've turned Windows Clear Type Text on and off.
The text also flashed in and out of visibility as I zoom in and out. So not all of the text may be shown at any one time. I'm also getting a lot of Fatal Errors. I found out that if I remove the Background Masks the text shows as filled, but it's still terribly jagged.
How to add to the right click menu of a client feature in the browser using the API? I'm trying to mimmick the right click menu that pops up when you right click other features like extrusion or hole in the browser. i.e: "edit feature", "redefine", etc.
My Civil 3D 2013 client application (COM C++) suddenly will not build:
error C4772: #import referenced a type from a missing type library; '__missing_type__' used as a placeholder..fatal error C1084: Cannot read type library file: 'C:/Program Files/Common Files/Autodesk Shared/AecXBase70.tlb': Error loading type library/DLL.
The type library is imported in the following way in StdAfx.h (as I have done for several years now, though with different version (60, 65, 67 etc.) each year):
I have tried to reinstall Civil 3D 2013 but that did not work. I probably also should mention that I have installed Civil 3D 2014, but that was over a week ago and I have been able to build since then.
I wanted to use the program to design a robot for our school vex competition. Vex has provided cad files for all the parts. So, how i can import the seperate parts into one design. I can only open each part individually but cant find a way to combine them so can assemble the robot in one design.
I am currently trying to etransmit or export one of our C3D drawings to CAD 2007 to send to a client. Every time I estransmit or export a lot of boxes appear on the exported file. Does anything know what they are or how to get rid of them? it won't let me freeze them, they all seem to be one block together.
I need to supply a client with a drawing and exist. surface.But I don't want them to have the survey data or points.What's the best way to handle this?
I am trying to fill a client graphics circle with colour . i'm just using the sample included in the API Samples.

I am about to recieve an order to provide drawings to a new client who has requested me to author an new blank drawing title block for the required drawings. The company does however have a Logo and other necessary details.
My question is: What format should the logo be in and how do I transfer this into the drawing title block, bearing in mind that I will most likely have to change the size to suite the various size drawings sheets, namely A0, A1, A2 etc?

I have a maxstart.max scene with the configure user path set to my documents C:UsersluicatDocuments3dsMaxDesign, so that all settings with my sky, cameras, lights etc are all in place when I open up 3Dmax and start a new project.
Question is what are the best practices for setting up client's folders and using my maxstart.max on my computer as a template for projects to be located on server?
"Goal is to keep all in the client's folder in tact so if I relocate client's main folder all 3dmax files goes with it."
Guesses are:
1. set project folders to client's location then copy in missing files like my sky etc...., in to the scene assets in new location,then configure user paths to the client's location so everything is linked as I work on the project?
note: I am not sure if set project folders insures all links inherently or if it's just a bunch of empty folders and are only there for recommended organization of files?
I am not sure also if everytime I open an existing client's scene/project do I always have to reset configure user paths to that client's location if I want to keep it all in tact?
2. Save the maxstart.max scene in the client's folder location with a client/project number then copy over all of the other folders needed to manage the project?
