View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the title block of the active sheet using visual basic. I realize this can be done using a snippet in iLogic, but I am creating an external .dll file using Visual Studio.
I have tried...
ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition = "Title Block Name"
ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition.Name = "Title Block Name" (This changes the name of the title block in the browser but doesnt swap it out.)
Call ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition("Title Block Name")
I'm trying to send field value to a multileader with a block. I tried:
(VL-CMDF "_.mleader" (getpoint "
Specify leader arrowhead location: ") pause "%<AcVar.17.0 Lisp.*granitelbl* f "%tc1">%")
Maybe it was a naive of me to charge in so boldly. The field appears to have made it in but it does not act like a field and does not reflect the correct value or update. In fact I get no response at all. In fact using "update field" "all" selects the fields but reports that they are locked.
I need a function that accepts a block name as an argument and will insert the named block without fail no matter if the block was made to scale uniformly or not.
How can I determine if the block should be inserted like:
(command "-INSERT" blkn "0,0" 1 0)
or:
(command "-INSERT" blkn "0,0" 1 1 0)
How do you divide a segment equally with a range in visual basic?

I can run the ACC fine on multiple DWG files with a basic set of commands in the script file. But, when I try to load an AutoLISP/Visual LISP file and run it from inside the script file, it doesn't work. How to run a LISP file using the ACC?

I think the plug-in is supposed to run through visual basic. If I mouse down to visual basic in corel draw I get an error message that says "Microsoft Visual Basic errors occurred during load. So I'm thinking the problem is with the visual basic program, but it was installed in the corel draw disc. I'm running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

We have a Visual Basic Script that creates pie charts using Adobe Illustrator along with an internally created app called Chart Generator. An xml file that contains a markup for a set of pie charts is imported into Chart generator and by using Illustrator it generates all of the pie charts and saves them as individual eps files.
It was recently discovered that not all of the pie slices are proportioning correctly. In some cases a slice that is 10% of the pie appears larger than a slice that is 13% of the pie. We can’t determine a pattern that might be causing this issue. We think that the problem is in the Visual Basic coding.
I'm doing a program in Visual Basic 2010. In one of the forms I put a button that when clicked must open AutoCAD 2012 and make a drawing in it. The user will decide where to save it.The steps are these:
1. I added the references Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common to the Visual Basic Project. That's OK.
2. I wrote this in the heading of the form's
- Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
-Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common
3. In the event Click of the Button1 I put this:
Dim acadApp As New AcadApplication 'Create an instance of an AutoCAD Application
AcadApp.Application.Visible = True 'Show the instance of the AutoCAD Application
Dim acadDoc As AcadDocument 'Create an intance of an AutoCAD Document
acadDoc = acadApp.Documents.Open("C:Respaldo TesisDibujo2.dwg") 'Open a Document called Dibujo 2
'Draw a line
Dim PT1(2) As Double

Since installing Creative Cloud a few weeks ago, I have had a persistent issue. I use a keystoke on a selected object (such as an arrow nudge) and the object will not move. Then I look at a field in a Panel or the Control bar and the arrow has started affecting the field value instead of the selected object. It's important to note that I have clearly selected the object. Anything entered in a field has been confirmed with the Enter key. Today, I highlighted a numeral "1" in a line of type on my page, typed a "2" and the number got entered in the Paragraph Panel! This kind of thing keeps happening over and over. Quitting and restarting Illustrator works for a while.

Now that I have all of my "routine" tasks with verbal commands I can focus on what I am drawing rather than spending much time clicking menus and tapping keys :-) I would like to expand my verbal commands to be able to set the options in all of the "option tools menus" and it would be great to pick items from the drop-down menus.

Not a huge deal but I've just started playing with Xara and thought I'd document quirks as I discover them, as part of my learning curve.
I'm taking a photography class and we're getting a quick lesson in using Lightroom, working on Macs. I'm never used the program before and I use a PC so I'm not familiar with Mac either.
I'm catching on pretty quick, but Im wondering, is there a way to use keystrokes or shortcuts to toggle between the menu items at the top of the screen. The assistants in the class said that on a Mac you can access these menu items with the mouse, but in a PC you use the Alt + a letter and can get to the sub-items with either letters or the arrow keys.
I've created a block with the subtitles in a dwg file. The subtitles contain images (logo). I use this block to create layouts in other files and i can see the images. I'm using the Autocad LT 2014 trial.
The problem is when i send the files to someone else, the pictures dont apear. I've tried to insert these images as OLE images, but they still dont appear.
I just want to send dwg files with the images without having to send the images as an attachment.
How do I send a file as an etransit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I draw a line at my template it always has the line type scale 5 as default under properties.
I know that I can chance this by hand or chance a basic line type scale with the command "lts".
But all the lines in the drawings of our partner have the line type scale 1 under properties. So if I used "lts", there would either my lines or their lines be scaled wrong. Also I don't want to chance the default line type scale of each line by hand.
Is there a possibility to set up something that each line I'm drawing, starts with a specific line type scale as default under properties?
I was wondering how you can resize 3d objects, eg) there is a wall 5 feet long and a hole for a window 1ft from the left. How can I resize the wall to, say 9ft with the window hole staying 1ft from the left hand side? Assume I can only resize from the LHS as the RHS is attached to another wall or something.

View 9 Replies View Relatedwhen I work on autocad I cant send my file to sketchbook, I click where it says >> "Sketchbook" - Create new Canvas<< and after that, is supposed to display a menu to set the paper size of the layout but nothing happens,
I use Autocad and Sketchbook designer 2013 and I don't know if it has something to do with my OS, I have Windows 8. because of that I thought that if I install Autocad 2014 the problem would be solved but it doesn´t even show the "sketchbook" option.
What do you use to send and backup your AutoCAD files? I've heard of CADCloud which looks good: URL....What other CAD - specific solutions are there around?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I have just finished up a project and now need to send the files (all of them, surfaces, alignments, corridor, construction documents, etc) to the client. What is the best way to do this?
I am confused because Civil3d uses Data references that are created based on a folder I specify which the client will not have access to and so on.
I opened my alignment file and did a DXFOUT than went ahead and opened that dxf and saw that there was nothing there?
Could they recreate the stuff I have done using DWFs?? or should I Etransmit?? or what other options do I have?
I would like to synchronize view in two open drawings in autocad.
If I change view or zoom or scroll mouse center button in one drawing, the second drawing needs to be updated in the same view simultaneously with view changed event in C# .
Now, I have lisp code to do the same manually. What the code does is that, when I enter command "V" in drawing-1
it will store viewsize and viewctr variable in a text file. when I enter command "VV" in drawing-2
it will read the viewsize and viewctr variable from the text file and execute in the command line. I tried the following code, It is not working.
This is my C# code
public class SimultaneousViewChange : IExtensionApplication
{
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
public void Initialize()
{
doc.ViewChanged += doc_ViewChanged;
[code]...
This is my lisp code.
;;;-------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Store the current display size in a specified text file
;;;-------------------------------------------------------------------(defun c:V (/ viewsize viewctr file space) (setq viewsize (getvar 'viewsize)viewctr (getvar 'viewctr)space (getvar 'tilemode) ) (setq file (open "C:\Zoom Spot.txt" "w")) (write-line (rtos space) file) (write-line (rtos viewsize) file) (write-line (rtos (nth 0 viewctr)) file) (write-line (rtos (nth 1 viewctr)) file) (write-line (rtos (nth 2 viewctr)) file) (close file) (command "ucs" "p"));End

I downloaded student version Autodesk Inventor 2012 a few month ago. When I start the inventor and go to OPEN, I had the standard options in both inches and millimeters.
BUT someone I work with kind of deleted all my SI unit settings on my computer (thought that we will never use it cuz we are in America...) and now when I want to make something new, i only have Inch options to choose from.
Now I need to make something that is in millimeters, but when I go to File> OPEN, I only have standard options in INCHes....
Should I delete my current Inventor and Download a new one? OR Can I download a folder or file that contains all the SI unit ?
I'm coming back to Autocad after a break of several years and a lot of versions. I'm struggling to remember how to do basic things.

I have a problem with the Send Command, when I use it the email is sent without text.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen i insert a xref in a drawing i always use the command "send to back" in the model space. However when you switch to the layout the xref sometimes is on top of the symbols in the drawing. This problem is easy to fix with send to back but when you want to do this you have to set the viewport to modelspace selct your xref and then send to back. This is easy to do when you only have a few layouts but when you have a couple of layouts with several viewports in each layout it's a very time absorbing job. Is there any variable to make sure that the xref is always send to back in the layout space.
p.s i'm using Autocad LT 2010
When I try to use the Send to Back command (HOME - MODIFY - DRAWORDER) then I get the notification in the Command line: "Command: Unknown command "FRONT". Press F1 for help."
Is this normal? or is this a bug in version 2013
