AutoCad 2D :: Bringing In XREF With Incorrect UNITS
Dec 3, 2013
My drawing is set in millimeters, the drawing i want to xref (which i only have read-access to and can't modify) should be in millimeters, but the UNITS are set to inches.. so the door appears to be 900 inches instead of 900 mm for example.
is there a way to bring this drawing in at the correct scale? i was looking at INSUNITS but it doesn't really have something that would set up my scale factor to 1/25.4, which i think is what i would need to do this.. is there a way to do this without manually scaling the xref after it's brought in?
I am attempting to bring a DEM into Civil 3D using the "create surface from DEM" function. I am successful with this, but the units for the DEM appear to be correct for X-Y and incorrect for elevation. The original DEM has metric X-Y coordinates and English elevations. I would like all to be in English units in the Civil 3D file.
The elevation values and X-Y values have been reduced by a factor of 1/3.208 as I have set the drawing units to English. This is correct for the X-Y, but incorrect for the elevation as the original DEM has metric X-Y coordinates and English elevations.
I am attempting to bring a 2D ACAD sketch into Inventor in order to make a 3D model of a part. I am able to import the ACAD sketch in, however, Inventor's units are set to "inches". The ACAD drawing is in mils (thous) since it is derived from a printed circuit board (PCB). The issue is that Inventor thinks the sketch is 8500 inches long instead of 8.5 inches long.
I am trying to bring in a KML file into CAD. Specificaly, I am trying to bring the contour lines in as polylines/lines. Is there a way to convert KML into DWG/DXF files that can be opened? I can live without the heights being part of it as I can just refer back to my Google Earth to get that information, I just need the lines themselves.
recently installed inventor pro 2014 on a school computer for a project we are doing, one problem. when i click 2D sketch nothing happens, so i have no wau to make a sketch.
I am drawing a floor plan in my autocad and if i want the entire floor plan to be moves to the origin how i can do it.
And also if i make the dimension and the text and when i plot and set different scales and different viewports how i can get the same size of the text and dimension on both the viewports on the layout.
I am having a problem with bringing in points from Autocad Civil 3d 2014 into older drawing files. Is there any way to do this and the points show up? when I bring the points in as .AUF or PENZD format, they do not show up... Is there any solution for this? or would I have bring the points into a blank drawing file,then xref the aforementioned points into the drawing I need them in? I have had this problem multiple times.. I have checked the regular solutions(Point styles, point groups, layers, froze, etc...) and they still wont show up..
I'm working as a contractor for a consulting firm and I'm inputting station points using alignments in to my c3d 2013 drawings.
The issue arises when people in the main office need to revise my drawings in their 2011 version of autocad and the station points come out as a surrounding the pline rectangle; a.k.a. crap-o-la.
I've tried saving the station points themselves (or the "alignment", that is) as a block and a wblock but when I input those in to their 2011 version the block comes in as an "OLE" and my lines are incased in a white rectangle and cannot be used further as part of the drawing.
Is there any other way to alignment make the transition from c3d to 2011 regular?
I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.
Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a))) (defun c:lxr ( ) (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor. My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.
I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.
I select a component in my assembly, right click to get the context menu, and suddenly my component is no longer selected. I get the generic context menu. I have to select the part from the model tree to get the specific context menu. What did I turn on... or off to get this annoying behavior? Who did I anger... I've been good, I promise!

when you bind an xref the link disappears from the xref manager.
is it possible to bind an xref, but preserve that link in the xref manager? i realize that will lead to two copies of the same object in the drawing (one xref, plus the new block). everyone's okay with that happening.
How do I get the full Xref Path name instead of Xref.dwg? I'm scratching my head is this totally under my nose... cause I don't see where the property is stored. I'm getting EV_BDR.dwg instead of C:folderEV_BDR.dwg
I'm using Photoshop CS2 on XP Media Center Edition. I cannot, for the life of me, find out how set the default dpi of images being brought into Photoshop.
At the moment I'm using an Action but that's pretty time intensive when I have to bring in more than a few photos. Sometimes I have 2 or 3 hundred to do.
Is it possible to bring different layers to the front in different parts of an image?
I'm working on a project that involves putting together 100x100 pixel squares from different images. I start with one image in each layer and delete 100x100 chunks of different layers until the image I need for that square is visible.
I am editing an image to match another completed version of the same image. When I bring in my working copy with some edits to the x/y window to compare, my working copy appears unedited.
I took a one-day course on Photoshop with NAPP and the instructor was showing us how to bring a photo closer together where the objects are closer but it doesn't distort the photo.
Just Starting with new Revit LT 2013(The Comparison chart from Autodesk lists the differences between LT and Full Revit as no Massing, Rendering and no multi user collaboration) Everything else should be the same!
I'm using 'LT_USI_Residential-Default' Template for my project.In the Stair Family, I have a few options, but not the '7"max riser 11" tread' stair that is available in other Templates.Is there a way to bring that Stair Family into the Template?
Maybe I don't know the 'workarounds', but none of the Stairs available in the above Template have changeable 'width' parameter under 'Dimensions' in the properties window.No matter what I do, all Stairs are first drawn 4' wide, and then I have to edit the width, but it's a pain since I get bunch of error messages and Landings often can't complete and needed to be manually added later.Even though the Type Properties list all stairs widths as 3' min., they still all draw as 4'.What's wrong with these Stairs?
I am trying to do is use the wand around an object so I have only it on a layer, then cut that object and paste it in another program, this time it happens to be powerpoint. But when I do that, it brings the white b/g square that is around the object with it, and then I have a big block photo. I've tried a couple different things, but I can't get a good clone over to my presentation.
bring back my site plan view!, and the ability to use shadow and realistic material!because when did another site view i am unable to use shadow and realistic view!
it seems to only be doing this on 50 x 0 in 72dpi unnamed (not given an extension yet) pictures!!! every time I have a picture of that size and I bring down ANY menu (such as 'edit') it causes Gimp to be unstable and freeze and I lose EVERYTHING in ALL pictures I have up after closing the nonresponsive process!
I have moved and renamed a folder in the external harddrive. Syncing that moved folder in lightroom is not working in bringing back all the photos to Lightroom - Although all the photos exist in that folder as I have confirmed through windows explorer.
Another Option: If I choose "import photos to this folder option" in LR and browse to the source to that folder - the missing photos are shown as shaded back and the import button (bottom right corner) is not highlighted. Therefore I cannot select these missing photos and hence cannot import them to the folder.
My assistant and I are working on 2 different computers tied to a server. We need to be able to pass sequences back and forth. Unfortunately, Premiere seems to be adding the associated media files with each sequence import. Our project has fast become a mess of duplicate media. Also, I noticed this "new feature" listed on the Adobe site: An option has been added to not consolidate duplicates on import.Will this fix this problem?
I tried to bring in a shapefile to AutoCad Map 3D 2013 and I realized the attributes in the table were incorrect. There should be no negatives for the column CLN_NUM_ID.
And it appeared that the CLN_NUM_ID is totally incorrect. Then I realized the data type of CLN_NUM_ID is Long integer so I changed the datatype to DOUBLE in ArcMap. When I brought in the shape file, the program crashed.
I have GeoPDF that I can't attach properly to drawing in Civil 3D. So with Global Mapper I exported it to geo-referenced ECW. I checked ECW in Global Mapper and ArcMap, everything just fine.
However when I did mapiinsert in Civil 3D, image appeared with shifted coordinates. The original coordinate system is BC/Albers and coordinate grid is Lat/ Longs.
