View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat it boils down to is that I'm the only inventor seat and need to use dwg for layouts in my work environment so that others can edit notes and print if needed. We also always plot to pdf and then print hardcopies as necessary.
Many of our drawings require ISO/axon/perspective views of models, and almost always shaded views. I can plot from inventor without issue, but when I plot from autocad, the shaded views plot only partially shaded with the rest wireframe or completely wireframe. I attached a pdf example. The view on the left should appear shaded the same as the views to the right.
I've adjusted every print setting I can think of, set shaded views to offline only for using bitmap, and tried low, mid and higher resolutions for the bitmap dpi setting.
We have product design suite 2013 and I'm on a windows 7 x64 machine.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am xref'ing in a floor plan (provided by a client) & I need it to print at a lighter shade of grade. The information that I am adding will be on my own layers and will be darker.What I need is to change all of the various lineweights from the xref'd file to a single gray lineweight, but not change the linetypes. I have seen this done, but it was a long time ago, & it was with an older version of AutoCAD. For the life of me, I cannot recall how it was done. Any simple way to do this without phyiscally changing my original copy of the drawing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedTake a look below at my viewports and take the following into consideration:
AutoCAD 2012- CADPipe 12.0
Viewports are 2D Wireframe
Shade Plot is set to Realistic
Bottom right-hand viewport has been 'clipped'
All viewports have been '3d-Clip'ed
All text is done in Paperspace
All files have been X-reffed into a plot tab drawing (over 20 files)
I've created 15 other tabs using the same layout as this one with no issues
Preview shows all viewports, but when it prints, only the left two come out and parts of the other two.
This is how it looks in my Paperspace Tab.Paperspace Viewport Layout.jpg
This is how it's SUPPOSED to look, and looks in 'Print Preview'.Print Preview.jpg
This is what comes out after I print. Final Print.jpg
Never had this problem before. Can't figure out why it's not printing the two to the right. Viewports are set to 'on' and 'display viewport objects'. All pipe is in te same layer (just on seperate drawings). All are set to printable.
I am having some difficulties when printing via dwg to pdf a rendered shade plot viewport in a layout. However, there is no problem using realistic shade plot. I am using the following materials: Metal | Alumininum (Anodized Blue, Anodized Blue-Gray), Plastic and Glass and the result is not good as all. I am also looking on a tutorial on strategic place to place light for even more realistic rendering.

I am having difficulty with the display of my point numbers and description when plotting. I am doing piping desing and utilizing Civil 3D points for the coardinates and elevations to display in a point table. For my viewport, in the properties dialogue box, under the Shade Plot option, I have selected Legacy Hidden due to needing my pipes to display properly only to have my points not display properly. If I opt for Legacy Wireframe or As Displayed, my points display correctly but my pipes do not. Any clue as to how I can have both display properly?

For example, does there existKey or key combination 1: Change the object snap mode to “single” amongst all enabled modes. Key or key combination 2: Iterate one by one through all available modes.

I have a layout of office space and saved as a JPEG. I would like to shade the areas of camera views that are based on a 50 degree angle. Can this be done.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSay I have a cartoon-like image of a face, outlined in black, and filled in with a background color. The image was saved as a .jpg so it got anti-aliased and the black outline & background instead of being 2 shades (one for the background, one for the outline) became many shades. Aside from the painstakingly long process of erasing all background pixels and replacing it, yet again with all the same shade, is there another, perferably easier and faster method of doing this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOpen a new doc in Greyscale mode, and use your Color palette in RGB Spectrum to select your hue of grey/colour. And to get a finer shade of grey/colour within the hue of grey/colour you're working with, click on the little arrow (top right of Color palette) and open up the drop down menu and select Current Color. This will give you a finer palette of grey/colour saturation to work with.

How do I dim them all down to the same shade of grey? E.g. turn everything except white into #CCCCCC.
i have pictures due on the 7th this month. The only thing that bothers me in my picture is that I have a slight shadow out of my face (on my right). I have never used Ohotoshop so I dont know how to remove it. I have photoshop 7. I am attaching my pic and I would GREATLY appreciate if someone could list the steps i need to do to fix the picture. My girlfriend's picture is the same .. so Ill need to know the steps
Also if I could maybe lighten up the background ...
Is there a feature in photoshope that allows to put a shade under a written text. For example something like the shade under the big Google word on their site, which gives a kind of three dimensionality to the text.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSuppose I've got a blob of uniform color. I want to make it pop out a little 3D. How do I make shade on one side in a curved manner (that is, it gets gradually darker as you move from the interior of the blob to the edge). Also, how do I add light in the same manner or as a condensed reflective/glittering spot. I also have some circles I'd like to make into spheres with a similar technique. How do you make spheres out of circles in regards to shading and light?

According to the attached picture in Colour editor that field is grey so does not seem selectable, but in the meantime quite often would like to copy that hexa value from one document to a second if needed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSay you have a irregular object that is in shades of red and you want to shade one one edge to from red to purple to indigo. You select specific red pixels and replace them with blues. You brush in the amount, area, and shape that you want to change without changing and other colours. You then select another shade of red pixel and used a darker shade of blue and brush over part of the area that you have already done to darken it. You repeat as necessary to get the effect you want.
I have tried masking and color select but the edges are too defined and not giving the effect that I want. Most of my less powerful graphics programs have this tool but unfortunately they can no longer handle the graphics I am working with.
I was using the Grim Color Reaper plugin for when I needed to merge a shadow map and regular texture. Now it seems that with the new release of Paint.net the plugin has stopped working.I need something that merges the shadow map and the normal texture, that works with the new release.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with adding xrefs to drawings. The way I have this setup is the user inputs information and the number of sheets. This then sets up a sheet set with the information and then for each value for the number of sheets the user gets a dialog askign for a number, name, and description for that sheet.
so if the user puts in 5 as the number of sheets, the user gets that dialog 5 times.
also I have a dialog that asks the user if they are adding xrefs to the sheets, if they answer yes then it adds the xrefs to each sheet that is created (this is where I have an issue).
This works perfect for the first sheet that is added, how ever after you fill in the information and submit for the second sheet autocad gives a fatal exception error and closes. not sure if I am missing on turning something off, closing, or stoping something before the next sheet is created.
here is the code I have at this point:
'checks to see if the dialog was yes
If xrefd.DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then 'shows the dialog efd.ShowDialog() 'shows the dialog pfd.ShowDialog() 'runs for each value in total sheets
For i As Integer = 1 To info.TotalSheetNum.Value 'shows the dialog sheetinfo.ShowDialog() 'checks to see if the sheet number is 1 If sheetinfo.SheetNum.Text = "1"
Then 'sets the sheet set default values SetSheetSetDefaults(ssdb, info.NameTxt.Text,
"Description",
[Code]....
I can toggle "Selection Modes, Object Grouping" on by checking the box and save my file. When I close AutoCAD 2012 and come back in Object Grouping is turned off again, even if I pull up the same drawing. I can't seem to find a lisp function or command to turn this on. Seems that my only option is to go back to the options each time and turn it on. I've got a registry entry or a lisp command I an issue to keep this turned on.
