AutoCAD Architecture :: Convert Store Floor Plans To DXF Format

Nov 8, 2011

I am trying to convert Store Floor Plans to DXF format for use in JDA software. Problem is, the part number attribute on the fixture (fixture is a block) is visible when you pull the DXF in on the other software. Is there a way to turn off attributes without losing them before I convert the file from AutoCAD? I will be pulling the files back and forth between both software programs.

AutoCad :: How To Create A1 Size Sheet On Which 4 Floor Plans Placed In Square

Sep 2, 2011

I have 5 plans in a single autocad file. I recently saw a layout option that fixes the view and the areas that you want to print. I want to do like this.

1 layout I want to create is of an A1 size sheet on which these 4 floor plans are placed in a square fashion, i.e. each plan on one vertice of a square. I want to set the printer output option as a postscript level 2 file in another layout I want to put the site plan on an A1 sheet. Here I also want a postcript level 2 file.

However in my original drawing, these plans are placed next to each other in a linear fashion. Is this possible?

AutoCad :: Redraw Floor Plans - Correcting Large Drawings

Jun 19, 2013

I have a task to redraw floor plans of an existing object (5 floors of 5000m2)... The problem lies in the existing drawings which contain incorrect dimensions.

Now, since the shape and position of elements is generally correct I am able to approximate to a 0.5-1.0m (witch I find annoying).

My question is:

How would you do the task having in mind that when SOME correct dimensions turn up (are measured on site) correcting the rest doesn't become a pain.

AutoCad :: Drafting Floor Plans - White Angle Boxes Appearing

Jun 27, 2013

While drafting floor plans; lines, fillet, Radius, Snap lines, there are small white boxes showing there is an angle or radius. They are getting in the way of drafting, slowing down my program and genuinely annoying. Do you know how to prevent them from appearing? Also, and I believe related, there are blue boxes appearing on all my right angles for reasons beyond me. How can I also prevent these from appearing?

Revit :: Floor Plans Disappeared

Oct 1, 2011

I imported a scanned drawing into Revit and traced it.  I put the walls and floors in, then was inserting doors.  I tried to find a particular door, but found I clicked on the wrong door and closed Revit instead of the screen I was in.  However, when I brought Revit back up, I could no longer see any Floorplan, but my 3d was still visible.  How do I retrieve or make visible Level 1 or 2?  (When I tile the Floorplan Level 1 and the 3D drawing, my 3d drawing will turn blue if I box in the blank area on my Floorplan screen, so I assume it must still be there).
 
The other question I need answered is how to insert the geometric figure/camera that shows each side of an elevation?  When I imported my scanned drawing, it was much larger than the area within the four “eyeballs”, but I have tried moving it and don’t see them.

Illustrator :: Floor Plans - Creating Walls Quickly And Precisely

Sep 7, 2013

I'm a 3D artist but recently, due the high demand, I'm learning illustrator for the sole purpose of making floor plans (the artistic colorful ones), I know Photoshop very well and use it extensively, it would certainly be enough if I wasn't going to print the plans at various dimensions, even using smart objects and vectors I don't think Photoshop is the right tool for the job.

I've downloaded illustrator and so far I'm liking it a lot, I believe it's the appropriate tool for the job. However, I couldn't find a quick way to draw the walls precisely.

The biggest problem is I couldn't find a way to 'offset' open paths quickly... when the path is open, it offsets the lines to both sides, as opposed to closed paths, the way I found myself is to use the pathfinder to divide the offsets than delete the ones I don't want, but it's a pain, it's better to just draw both sides of the walls separately instead, what is a tedious process too.

I'm looking for simple ways to either offset open paths to a specific side, or maybe make strokes that are adjacent to the paths so i can use the 'outline stroke' tool to convert them to 'solid' paths, or any other way to achieve the same result.

AutoCad 3D :: Flattening Large 3D Model (hospital Ground Floor) To 2D Floor Plan Drawing

Oct 16, 2012

How to solve this problem of 'Flattening a large 3d model (hospital ground floor) to a 2d floor plan drawing'. The 3d model was made in Rhino and I saved it as a .dwg file because Rhino kept crashing with the command 'make 2d' (file too large maybe :/).

I don't know AutoCAD 3d so now, I'm trying to just change the line layers and eventually plot it all, but sometimes when I save the progress.... AutoCAD will delete sections of my work sometimes :/

AutoCad 3D :: Using 2D Plans To Generate Rendering?

Apr 4, 2011

Which software application can I use to create a rendering of an elevation from just 2 dimensional dwg plans and elevations? I was interning in an office where the developer hired a render to develop illustrations of our design. The render said he only required our first floor and second floor plans, and the elevation we wanted rendered. The turn around time was very quick (24 hours). I was surprised as building a model takes me a long time. The cornice was very detailed, it would have taken much longer to build a model.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Workflow For Plans And Sections?

Nov 21, 2011

I'm slowly trying to make the transition from AutoCAD to AutoCAD architecture.

The main thing that is confusing me is how to organise the project so that plan, section and elevation sheets will all update from the original construct whenever it is changed.

I'm confused about plans and sections...should I draw my section lines from the annotate panel directly onto the 'construct drawing' and then use that as my plan or should I create a plan view of the construct (...how?) and then draw the section lines over that plan?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Plans Plotting Too Light?

Dec 15, 2012

I plot my drawings from a layout to PDF then can print from various printers, but the PDF and subsequent plots come out very light, somewhat like in a halftone plot.   The image in the paper view port also show lighter than the color in the model view.   I am using the AIA standard color.ctb plot style and have tried switching to various styles.

AutoCad 2D :: Renovation Plans Overlapping 2D Lines?

Apr 19, 2013

Im currently drawing renovation plans, sections and elevations, and i have a prexisting set of drawings, a after renovation set of drawings and would like to achieve the intersecting of this two sets with objects/lines in yellow for whats going to be demolished and red for whats being built and white for whats to remain untouched.

I started by setting a yellow color for the first set and red for the second set. And worked my way to the excrutianting task of breaking and setting this two sets of 2d drawings.

Is there a command or routine that allows me to break a line were two diferent lines overlap in the drawing. I was wandering if i could do that i then would only have to overkill the entire drawing..

AutoCAD Inventor :: Autodesk Plans For Content Center?

Dec 11, 2013

Just a general Content Center question: does Autodesk plan to update (add more parts to) the library at any time in the near future?  We really could use some pvc pipe and fittings.  Also, fix the MC/C library shapes (they are all MC profiles, not any C's).  I'm sure there are a number of additions to be made, but it seams that nothing new has been added for a few releases that I am aware of.

AutoCad :: Errors With A3 And A4 Plans - Cuts Off Top And Bottom Of Plan

Jun 16, 2011

We use this function constantly for A1 drawings. It is such a great feature since 2010.

But I get errors with A3 and A4 plans that cut off the top and bottom or even sometimes the left and right hand sides.

I have set it to ISO Full Bleed, but still I don't know how to get it to print.

I am using our standard title blocks which print correctly to paper and to third party PDF creators.

How to wrestle with this command to get it to print with bigger margins?

AutoCad :: Using Xrefs To Fill In Title Block Info Throughout A Set Of Plans

Apr 15, 2011

Our professor provided us with 3 dwg files that we are supposed to use for our title blocks on all construction documents. One is the title block file, one is a file with preloaded client info text and the other is preloaded with project info text. This includes dates(drawing, revisions, etc.), page numbers, sheet names, etc.

He explained how it's easier to xref all of these files into the paper space of our working files, but I don't understand how this is easier when every page has different information on it - in the very least a different page number and sheet/drawing name.

Is this a matter of creating a unique file for each page of our set of plans? This seems much more confusing that just inputting the text manually on each drawing.
