I recently found a command on the internet that enables only solids in a .dwg to be exported to a seperate autocad .dwg, muggins here didnt take a note of the command and I have searched google ten times over to find it again but to no avail.
View 1 RepliesI updated my computer to windows 7 32 bit and need the file: AdskHwCertificationDatabase.xml - version 17.1.0.4 so that I can find out the correct driver for my OS and my quadrofx 1700 graphics card. Autodesk doesn't support 2008 Architecture and the on;y file I can find is buried in a torrent file with a pirated copy of 2008 and I DO NOT wish to download that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been looking through old threads on here that all seem to date back to 2008 for this same problem I'm having, but the way to fix them only seems to work for Windows XP and I'm currently on Windows 7.
Problem:
I'll have a session of ACA 2008 running and if I double click on another dwg file it starts up another session of ACA instead of opening within the current session I'm already running. My SDI setting = 0. I tried switching it to 1 and that didn't work. Put it back to 0 and still didn't change anything.
One of the older threads on here [URL] .... says to go in to windows explorer/ tools / folder options, but that set up is different now in Windows 7 than it was in XP so I can't get to Files Tab and change anything for dwg.
I have drawings that were made in AutoCAD Architecture 2008 that when opened in AutoCAD Architecture 2012, the 0-width walls in the drawing don't show up anymore. The only solution I found was to change the Base Height in the properties of the wall (which I accessed by choosing the zdiagnostics display setting) to 10' instead of the standard 1/2" that we normally use.
I'm guessing it has to do with the wall styles as they were transferred from out 2008 to our 2012 template.
Is there any reason to keep 2008 if you have a new copy of 2011? Any old features lost or old files types that can't be opened in 2011 that worked in 2008?
What's the best ways to make sure files edited and saved in 2011 can also be opened and fully edited by users of 2008?
Save as older version? Export as IFC? Something else?
I designed an upholstered furniture with curved surfaces. When I generate sections or elevation I'll see the invisible edges on curved surfaces! Is there a way to get the same result as the object viewer hidden line (or shaded with edges)?
2nd question. is there a way to control how many steps the surfaces are tessellated? The outline is not very smooth!

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn Adobe Illustrator CS5, you now have the capability give a name to each artboard in your illustrator file. I understand that you can easily save each artboard as separate AI files but I would like to save them as separate PDFs instead.
Any script, or know the actual method of doing so? All I can possibly theorize is to save the artboards as separate PDFs and then have Acrobat convert those artboards to PDFs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get my first 3d print of a model and am having problems getting it into a format that the printing service can use. I've read up and attempted stlout, 3dprint, and export commands to no avail. I get the message that the objects need to be 3dsolids or watertight meshes.
After reading all the hype on 3d printing and being very excited about it, I"ve got to say that I'm a bit overwhelmed with the steps it appears one has to take to get an architectural model to print.
The model is made with aca 2012.

I am using AutoCAD's 2008 DWG to PDF. The quality is good but it does not match the preview. The preview shows the drawing centered. But when I print it and view the PDF, the drawing is off center and cut off. I tried to redefine the sheet size with no borders but it still does not center it.

I have a drawing I've created in Autocad LT 2008 (wall sections) that are viewed in the sheet on their side, I'm tied of drafting sideways. If I group the entire page and rotate, dimenssions and model viewports will not coorperate in the rotation. UCS will allow rotation for view ports, but the command "plan" will not be recognized in paper space. Taking a landscape LAYOUT view and flipping it to portrait that won't wreck notes, leader, dims & viewports?

How can I transfer .dwg files from my old computer (Vista OS) to a new computer (Windows 7) and not have them transfer as "read only"? I have copied the existing files from the old computer to a flash drive and then transfered them using the flash drive to the new computer. They open but as read only. I have tried transfering each folder individually and the files still open as "read only". I have checked the properties on the files and they are identical to those on the original computer and the flash drive. Yet when they transfer to the new computer they come in as read only. I have turned off the "read only" and asked it to override the read only file but as soon as I close and open the .dwg it is still read only. how to make these files active on my new computer?
