AutoCad 3D :: Conceptual Setting Have Changed
Sep 14, 2011
i use conceptual in my viewports to give a rough 3D of what i am drawing. some settings have changed that i am not familiar with i would like to restore them to the original settings. the following pics show the difference. Im Not talking about the back ground.
The pic with the black backgroud is not how i like the settings to be. they seem too bright and its kind of glowing.New Settings.jpg...The pic with the white background is what im looking for. the items seem to be a flatter finish to them. If all this makes sense how do i change it back?

I opened my Autocad today to discover that none of the drawings I open are displaying any type of text. This includes dimension text, multi/single line text, and titleblocks. My coworkers can open with text, so I am confident that it is a setting of some sort in my program. I have looked thropugh every menu and option and I have been unable to find the setting that would need to be changed.

Every time I open a drawing in AutoCAD 2011 it seems to lock all the xrefs associated with the drawing so when ever some one else tries to open one of the xrefs they can only do so read-only.
Is there a system variable or a setting some where I've accidentally changed?.. I can't seem to find a solution or what the problem even is anywhere.

I typically use the conceptual view when I'm modeling and it usually looks like the view on the right. What setting I may have accidentally changed to cause it to look like the view on the left?

I am having issues with 3D Realistic/Conceptual Views in model space. Basically I will be working on a drawing and everything works fine when I switch to 3D realistic & conceptual modes and orbit - view looks perfect. Then a few days or maybe 10 minute later I do it again and the hidden edges suddenly are visible through 3D solids & the view looks awful. I have attached a screenshot of this issue and from reading a number of forums it appears that I am not alone in experiencing this, however I have not found a resolution. I am concerned that it could be my Graphics card but given that it is an nVidia Quadro FX3800 that is supposedly designed for ACAD I would be pretty upset! URL....
On the left is the problem in realistic view - on the right I have copied this into another file and on some drawings this fixes the issue - on some others I have to delete some background floorplans. It might be linked to the size of the drawings - I work on airport terminals so my drawings have floorplans of hundreds of meters...

I'm having a drawing (check in attachment), I change the transparency with different values and I can see the changes I made just in 2D Wire frame Style, when I change in conceptual style it's appear as the transparency value from the layer dialog box is 0, for all values that I modify I don't see no changes.
The transparency button is active. One sample from the drawing is in attachment.

Using Conceptual View, I have hanger plates that intersect an arch, and previously where they intersect you couldn't see inside the arch just the surface. Since saving as another drawing to add hangers details something has changed in the display and the arch appears transparent at the moment so you cant see where along the plates the arch intersects.
Unless you zoom right into the intersection, the surfaces appear and zoom out and it goes transparent again.

I have tried this on 2 different machines which are running AutoCAD 2012 & 2014.
The 1st image below was taken from the print preview and shows a Conceptual & Hidden view. Why they come out blocky?
The 2nd image was taken from a screen shot which looks ok.
The 3rd image shows my print settings which created the print preview.
I have tried reducing the quality in the shaded viewport options section but it doesn’t really work.

When printing a paper space viewport in Conceptual Visual Style mode, text objects are visible in the print preview but not in the printout on paper. Why are they not hidden in the preview if they are not going to be printed?

I'm now working on my diploma work and I need to model a gridshell construction in Conceptual mass.I created the form and made adaptive component -a glass panel.I uploaded it in the family and now I need to load that family into the project space and I don't know what to do..I will have to remove the mass eventually before rendering but then the gridshell structure will disappear.I don't know how to make it real,I cannot use massing and site with this, I'm obviously missing some steps and i don't know which ones..

Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.

I use a lot of PDF and Raster images to reference, now I have two different PDFs that are over lapped.
Is there a way to make the top PDF say 50% transparent so I can see both at the same time?

I have a 2 ECW xrefed as images into a drawing which I use as the aerial xref the problem is when I change the UCS the ecw disappears.
So the image only shows when the ucs is set to WUCS - I should also note that just the image disappears I can still see the image frame.

In a multi-document autocad session, after making changes programmatically in all drawings opened, when closing autocad, I'm only asked to save the changes for the current drawing. The others drawings are closed without asking to save them. The changes are made as I'm expected, but autocad don't aks to save the modified drawings.

I can't see that I changed any setting (never do) or did anything to make it so the instruction line under the Command: window at the bottom of the screen now expects me to enter text, i.e. In the Command Window we have "open", after I clicked on File / Open, but instead of being taken to the usual drop down of my hard drive the bottom line on my monitor reads, "Enter name of drawing to open <.>: The same thing happens if I try to save a drawing. This is making it extremely difficult to open and save, i.e. to work....

My company have created a standard cui that we all must use and cannot be changed in any way.
Whilst I agree this is a good idea, there are a lot of command icons missing from the ribbon which I use frequently.Is there any easy way I can add these to my cad setup ?

Some weeks ago I made this drawing for a costumer, which was like this:
When I opened the drawing today it was like this:
As you can see, there are some differences between the two screenshots:
- The texture of the grass changed, now it's les fine;
- The same for the road (you can't see it right now, but it's the same problem as the gras)
- The trees changed, now you can't look 'through' the blocks;
- The color of the cars (blocks) changed, first they had multiple colors, but now they are one (different) color.

In one of the assemblies I'm editing I have a rule where the parameter changed formats on me. It went from something normal like:
Parameter("Name:1", "Name")=36 to a format like: p534g9_86=36.
How i might be able to track down what was being pointed at so I can correct it? I looked through the assembly and part file parameters but can't find where 36 is being plugged in at.

I accidentally changed the line weight halfway through my drawing, and many of the lines are printing fat! I know about displaying them on screen, that is not my issue. The fatter lines are not specific to any layers, so in the layer dialogue box all line weights are listed as default. How can I change the lightweights after the fact, without redrawing the whole thing. Also, any line that I add to the drawing is still fat. I am using 2012 Autocad.

Another problem i'm having with autocad 2012 is one with the personal Materials Library.

Changes to the library cannot be made.
The library file is currently locked or missing.
I'm using autocad 2012 as an administrator and am the only ony using the library file on this computer.

Midway through my session I must have hit some key combination that changed a global setting of some sort as all of a sudden when selecting objects they no longer show up dashed to show they are selected, the grip points still show but there is no dotted line of the objects.
This happens everywhere including when picking boundaries to hatch......you cant see what boundaries you have selected because the selection line is solid.
This is making life unbelievably difficult, how to reset the selection to a dashed line as opposed to a solid line?
In case I am not being clear, draw a line. Then select it (click on it) and you see it becomes dashed and the grips appear. When I select now just the grips show up and the line stays solid.

I'm really struggling to get my head around "paper space" & "model space". I just made a fairly detailed drawing and printed it in landscape on an A4 sheet. That worked well. But then I changed my mind. I now want to print it in "portrait". Trouble is it needs to be resized, as it keeps missing part of my drawing off the right hand side of the paper.

I have been using autocad for many years but have never experienced this situation before. I have received a simple Electrical layout file from a consultant, after opening this file my settings in AutoCAD changed, for examples the snap angle to the cursor changed to 337.18 degree, the selection box (pick box) went to maximum and a few other settings also changed. I had to manually go back to the options and change some of the settings back to what I normally have which is very much similar to default settings. But I could not change everything back to normal. I had AutoCAD 2010 and later installed 2012 to see if it would fix the problems. What surprised me is that when install fresh AutoCAD 2012, the default settings is now changed to the settings that has changed in my previous AutoCAD.I would like to change the settings back to normal.
