I'm having a problem with a model that is extremely complex. It contains a perforated grille. I've reduced viewres to 100 and turned off those layers along with freezing them and it I still can't adjust my view, perspective or visual style without it locking up. Is there any way to get the model to function? Would making the grille a block or xref work?

I have a model that represents a casting with some finished surfaces that I'm trying to throw some fillets and rounds on but the software keeps balking at finishing the process. I've started at various points around the object only to be frustrated when I try to get the final edges to mesh with all the rest.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am not sure about what should be pinned & what should be locked. My main concern is Grid lines, Levels, Walls & Dimensions!.
I don't like the idea of having things floating or changing around on me. From what I understand "Locking' is not the way to go becuase it loads up your file in size. Using Revit 2013.
I use x-ref's inserted in model space and label in paper space - always.
I would like to see a way of locking out model space while editing text in paper space. Unless you double click right on the text, you often end up in Model Space...I know - big deal right? It can become annoying or a big deal when a deadline is looming - when is one never? Also big fan of locking viewports.
I have finally created the shell of the complex surface that you see. This is only a section of the part because I cannot show the whole thing for proprietary reasons. I formed solid surfaces using the network command. The propblem is that it will not convert to a solid because the surface seams are not "water tight." When the network command created the solid surfaces, the surface seams do not exactly match the lines so there are gaps in all the seams. I have tried blending, patching, etc. and nothing works. how to convert this to a solid without losing the outlines and the shape?

View 2 Replies View RelatedA dwg obtained and developed from autocad 2009 was opened with autocad LT 2012 but could not display on the LAYOUT, although it does show on the MODEL.
I have tried to SAVE AS using the 2012 Autocad LT, but the drawing still wont display on the LAYOUT.
My company is useing LDD2009, as well as map. when we make notations in our plans we use a block that is basicly a square with an attribute inside to represent a number, the nuber then corresponds to the same number and a description in a table.
Now, I have been asked to create / recreate (a)the block that would rotate per viewport, also; we are not usin dynamic leaders.
is there a way to either continue with the block or create a dynamic leader that would rotate per viewport, even in other drawings that have xrefs attached like Plan & Profile sheets that are separate drawings.
I'm not sure how autocad would handle the rotating as well as the location of the block and still have the leader point in the same place.
Try starting Autocad LT 2009 and get Error Message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application."
It was recommended to uninstall and reinstall the software ... the software will not uninstall ... get the following message:"The following problems were encountered which prevented AutoCAD LT 2009 from updating successfully:? - Error opening installation log file, Verify that the specified log file location exists and that you can writte to it"
Problem: My Autocad 2009 SAVE AS not working properly, when I'm trying to save my work output or anything I want to make SAVE AS it's totally not working...
Is this cause by virus or there something wrong in my software?
I have quite a few drawings in AutoCAD 2009 that have images attached. some of them print just fine and some wont print the image.
I inserted the image by the following: EditPaste SpecialPicture (Metafile) and they are tif files.
I have AutoCAD 2009. When I print a PDF, all the different layers come out looking the same. In other words, in my drawing I have layers that are say green and other layers that are cyan. Supposedly, the green layer is darker and thicker than the cyan layer. But when I print the PDF, all the layers come out with the same thickness and darkness.
But if I plot the DWG file, the lines show up the way they should be. The problem only happens when plotting PDF's.

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy OS is Vista 64bit. i was using ACA2008 SP1 without any problems about a year.i decided to uninstall it and start using ACA2009.i have uninstalled ACA2008, 3dsmax2008 and other autodesk apps and removed some folders 'autodesk' and 'autodesk shared' from vista system folders.i also delete 'autodesk' from registry (LocalMachine/Software & CurrentUser/Software).then i installed ACA2009 64bit without any problems. after install i start it and there wasn't any problems (but i do not use any AEC objects, so i don't know if they was working).next i installed 3dsmax2009 & sp1 for it. max worked OK.then i installed sp1 for ACA2009. instalation was OK... but when i start working on a project i realised that AEC objects (wall,door, etc.) dont work at all ACA2009 starts OK without any warning or something...it loads at startup AECarchBase (and other AEC related stuff) but when you are trying to use any of wall,door,window it does do nothing... for example when you select wall from tools pallete it shows command 'WallAdd' in command line and then wall command ends without any warning or something...it also doesn't work from command line or menu the strange thing is when i uninstall ACA2009 and install ACA2008 again problem was also now in ACA2008 !!!

Trying to do some bolt pattern center lines. Been doing them for years and can do them old school way. But was wondering if there is a better ways. If you put a circle from the center of the bolt circle to the center of the bolts and change it to center the hashes never line up. So I always do small center line sections on each bolt hole. Then array it around to cover the entire bolt circle. But that gets time consuming. I am now doing a lot of projects with bolt circles and wondered if there was a better method.

I'm having some trouble in AutoCAD LT 2009 with block files.
I need the blocks I create to be available to every drawing I create, but somehow, I'm doing something wrong because I can only access them from the drawing I created them in.
I just recently had to install 2009 from map 2008. When I open drawings last worked on and saved in 2008 and open them in civil 3d 2009, I get drawings that freeze up upon opening. Some will eventually open, showing errors. Others will never open and just freeze up.

What's everyone's take on locking down viewports?
I always do. It irritates me to no end when i'm moving about in a layout and accidently click into model space and screw up a viewport that is not locked down.
Is it possible to lock the ucs in modelspace? I want to use it in a lisp!
