AutoCAD 2013 :: Keyboard Shortcuts Don't Work After Regen / Screen Update

Dec 18, 2013

If I do a command such as regen, or switch between tabs/modelspace, generally anything that seems to involve a screen update, then immediately following that if I try something like a Shift-Tab type of operation, there is no response from autocad until I move the mouse.  This is consistent if hardware accelertion is turned on or off, so I can't go blaming the video drivers just yet.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Why Do Fields In Dynamic Block Require Regen To Update

Mar 20, 2013

I created a dynamic block to represent a room in a floor plan.  It displays the dimensions and area of the room and can be stretched.  But it's defeating the whole point of being dynamic.  The area won't update unless I do a regen.

I've seen comments blaming MTEXT for the problem, so I tried putting the area field in a line of TEXT or DTEXT.  It still didn't update unless I did a regen.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Why Must Regen To Display Linetypes

Dec 5, 2011

Attached is a drawing containing a big rectangular lwpolyline and two relatively small lwpolylines near the drawing origin. One of these smaller plines is on a layer that has a dashed linetype associated with it. That layer is also red. When I zoom in on that pline, however, I won't see the dashes unless or until a regen occurs. As of this writing, after trying a few things, I'm almost resigned to including a note telling the client they might have to REGEN in order to see non-continuous linetypes display properly.

This happens even if FIND command is cancelled and takes 2 to 3 seconds everytime. Can I disable this automatic regen and do only when I need.

AutoCAD .NET :: Get Fields To REGEN On LOAD

Apr 27, 2011

I am using Cad11, VS10 with VB.NET.

I have a simple function that breaks down the file name and populates 3 fields with the correct names.  In my template they all get changed correctly, but when I make a new .dwg it takes a few (hopefully unnecessary) steps to get them to change.  The very 1st time opening Cad, the fields do not get recognized ( !fieldname1    returns a nil).  If I close the .dwg and reopen it the fields pull the correct value but do not change in model space  (ex -- !fieldname1 returns 12345, but model space is still showing 54321 in the field).  In order to get the value to change I have to type the Field command in Cad, I don't have to do anything in it, I can immediately close the Field form and then do a regen to get model space to show the correct values.

My idea was to hard code in the Field command and hope to be able to close that before the user knows it is even open, but I still don't think that will solve the 1st time Cad is opened problem, and I am having no luck with getting that lisp command to run (like it said, very limited experience with it).  It could just be the syntax is wrong since it is so simple but here is what I thought would work.

[code] 
ThisDrawing.SendCommand("field" & vbCr)
 [/code]

I have a thisdrawing...("!fieldname1" & vbcr) that correctly returns the value in the command bar right above this.

In the command bar 'field' shows up but the form does not open.

AutoCad :: Regen After Block Editor

Jul 6, 2010

After I edit a block in the block editor, It regens to a blank black screen. Then I have to zoom extents and zoom back to where the block is. Is this normal? I would think it'd be better if it just put you back to where you were working. I understand the regen probably is necessary to change all the blocks that need to be updated. Just wonder why it puts you to a blank space.

AutoCAD LT :: Regen In Multiple UCS Viewports?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Vanishes When Regen Is Used?

Apr 16, 2013

Problem: occasionally when I copy an object (text, polylines, blocks etc) and then paste, it appears as though nothing has happened. However the object is copied, it is simply not visible.  If I then regen all entities also vanish. I can save and reopen the drawing this fixes the issue. For me this is fine, but it is happening to others multiple times in one day.

AutoCAD LT :: System Halted After Doing Regen Or Zoom?

Apr 17, 2013

I'm facing a problem that each time after I did Regen or Zoom, the system halted and then recovered only after several minutes. I guess maybe it is related to special drawings, because it only happened when working with the drawings which was transferred from an .iges 3D drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Auto Regen On Open

Jun 25, 2013

Having a small issue with Civil 3D 2013 recently ( I think). The last month or so, it's been automatically running regen when I open a drawing. No problems there, where the problem comes in is if I open an exported drawing (from this computer) or a drawing from someone else computer any polylines in the drawing vanish.

I can just run an undo to get the polylines back, but any time I paste something into the drawing all my polylines vanish again. So my fix at the moment is to undo the regen, and then copy and paste my drawing into a new drawing.

Is this just something corrupted I need to do a reinstall to fix, or is there something I might be missing?

EDIT: Also thought I should point put that I'm using an Nvidia Quadro 600 video card running the latest drivers. I have not installed any patches or hotfixes for Civil 2013

AutoCAD 2010 :: SLOW Regen When Viewing From The Right?

Jan 9, 2013

What would cause AutoCAD to choke, ONLY when viewing a model from one direction? In my case, it's the right view, and it doesn't matter how I get to that view, ie "view, right" or "dview,clip". Views from other directions regen almost instantly, but from the right takes a full minute, while Acad tells me up top that it's [not responding].

Issue is only in single dwg. Tried audit, purge, etc. Wondering if there is some obscure (dwg specific) system variable causing this, before trying the WB to get rid of an offensive entity.

AutoCad :: Attribute Fields Not Updating With Regen

Aug 7, 2013

I have been creating new 2D dynamic blocks for our engineering department to use. I was able to combine our old "dynamic" blocks, similar in design, into one new block. There are attributes within in the block to display information regarding which block is selected and shown. This information is then extracted using a LISP routine to be used via Excel for manufacturing.

I have run into problems with some of the fields updating. At times they will update and other times they won't. The attached file has an example of the blocks I'm using. They are the same block. However, the block on the left was placed into a new drawing using CTRL+V. The lone field in the bottom left corner of the block updates correctly when the block properties table is changed and REGEN is run.

The block on the right was inserted into this drawing using the INSERT command. The same field does not update using REGEN. FIELDEVAL is set to 31 based on what I've read in other posts.

Not sure what the difference would be, but I've been seeing it for the past week while creating the new blocks. It's a bit frustating not knowing why it will work sometimes and not others. I've pulled my hair out for long enough trying different things to see if it will work, but to no avail.

AutoCad 2D :: Zoom Extents / Requires Regen Cannot Be Transparent

Sep 6, 2013

I realise this is an old thread, just wondering if any new tweaks have some to the surface to all the wheel-double-click action to be altered. Currently my mouse is set to ZOOM>EXTENTS like I imagine most people's is. Lately I've been getting a lot of "Requires a regen, cannot be transparent" errors while trying to zoom>extents, and I would like to introduce a REGEN call into the wheel-double-click macro. REGENAUTO is set to ON.

AutoCad :: Viewport And Regen Separately From Main Drawing

Dec 16, 2011

I just had to reinstall AutoCAD this week for being a very bad boy. Now, when I switch between open files, my screen goes blank. It takes a regen to get all my stuff to appear again.

It even goes blank in my viewport... I have to go into the viewport and regen separately from the main drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Regen And Zoom Command Causes To Crash?

May 23, 2012

This happens with a number of drawings, I believe all the files are very large approximately 8mb+.  The issue is that by using the REGEN or the Zoom - Dynamic command, it will freeze AutoCAD.  I will have to conduct a force shutdown than restart the program.

My question is; where do I start to determine what is the cause?  Where do I find an error log?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Regen Required After Opening Xref's?

May 20, 2011

Since upgrading to AutoCAD 2012, everytime I open an xref using xopen, then close the xref, when I go back to the parent drawing the screen is totally blank and I have to regen to get it back.  This happens almost 100% of the time in this scenerio.  Easy to do a regen, but I am in and out of xref's a lot, and it's getting really old.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Slow Regen And Space Switching

Apr 22, 2010

When switching from layout to model space, and back again, and when switching layouts the regen is slow to an extreme, upwards of (3) minutes. Using Renenall in layout, the regens are quite slow as well. Windows 7, AutoCAD 2011, NVIDIA Quadro FX1800, most current driver.

Additionally, when publishing, the regens are equally slow. LAYOUTREGENCTL setting seems to have no affect.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Regen In Layout Viewport Does Not Work

May 8, 2012

My layers in layout viewport are displayed in wrong order even after I use REGEN or REGENALL command. 

I am working with drawing file with quite big amount of layers (about 100+ including layers of 7 xrefs) and because I want to use different layer settings for each printed drawing I work directly in the layout viewports instead of model space so I don't have to switch on/off countless layers all the time.

The problem is that quite often layers just turn into wrong draw order and don't come back even if I hit REGEN or REGENALL command. To solve this I have to zoom out, jump out of the viewport by doubleklick outside, use REGENALL command and then jump back to viewport so I can keep on working. This is extremely time consuming especially if it happens every 3 minutes, over and over again.

AutoCad 3D :: How To Reduce Quality Of 3D Views In Order To Speed Up Regen Process

Jun 30, 2011

it seems that whenever I input .SAT files into my drawing it really slows down AutoCAD. This is especially true whenever I switch views. It appears to be the regen operation. The drawing is only 10 MB. I can work in much larger drawings that are 2D and not have a problem. I've eliminated all other background tasks and processes that are eating memory.

Is there some sort of work-around/setting I can adjust to reduce quality of the 3D views in order to speed up the regen process?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Material Favorites Does Not Update When Update Materials

Dec 9, 2013

I made a change to my materials library.  I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material.  I then saved this back to my library.

Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library.  So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).

This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle.  It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).

Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....

The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in.  That is a bunch of work.  The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it.  The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.

I see the same thing in 2013 and 2014.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Style Update (or Style Update Check) Upon Open Of A Drawing?

Nov 21, 2013

I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing? 

The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).

I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.
