AutoCad :: DWG Not Readable In DraftSight
Sep 19, 2011My client uses DraftSight and I thought this is dwg compatible, but he can not open my AutoCAD 2010 dwg. I tried AutoCAD 2000 dwg, but he can not open this one, too.

The problem is that the date is very hard to read since it is the same color as the background. What could I do to make the numbers show more clearly. I have been playing around with contrast and brightness but no luck.

I have a Brother MFC-J835DW inkjet printer with an SD slot to read files to print. It will NOT read any JPG or PNG file created with Gimp 2.8.x. I have 2.8.10 on a Win7 desktop and 2.8.4 on a Linux machine. My Win7 laptop has 2.6.11 and those files work fine. The win7 desktop had 2.6.11 before the (up?)grade and those files were fine too. The Linux machine had 2.6.x at one time and those files also worked fine.
I followed a tutorial to get to an acceptable text image , even managed a border. [URL]........
How to make the text more readable.
is it possible to get this sharpened to the point where the big letters are readable?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI took high resolution pictures of some products to put on my website. But when I reduce them in Photoshop to height 200 or 300, the text is no longer readable.
I want the same sharpness and readability as in the high res picture. I do not mind cropping it as long as I can show the text clearly.
If I just use yellow color with yellow fill the resultant text is almost impossible to read. I think the answer is to mix small amounts of other colors to make the text more readable. The questions is"What is the optimum mix for maximum readability?

Some errors include:
• This file is not readable.
• Can't open the illustration.
• Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.
I just finished editing a tiff file in lightroom 4, I then edited it in photoshop CS6. I deleted the file from lightroom and now I am trying to import it into lightroom now that I have finished with it in photoshop and lightroom can't read the file. It's like it doesn't exist. I didn't change the file at all. how lightroom can read this file again?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am unable to save .pdf versions of color separations. I followed the tutorials (changed all colors to cmyk or spot colors, selected the printer adobe post script, changed the output to Separations (host-based), desected the colors I didn't want on the separations), but something goes wrong when I save. When I click save, I am given no option to save the separation as a .pdf. The program seems to be unable to save the separation as any sort of readable file. In the drop down box where it should provide a .pdf option, it merely says "All Files." If I save my separation using this option, then Illustrator creates a file unreadable by Acrobat Reader.

why the PDF manual that comes on the Xara CD cannot be read on my iPad2. I have tried both Ibooks and GoodREader. Images and pages display, but the text is rendered as blurry black smudges. It's such a shame since I like to have my documentation beside my screens and use my monitors for palettes and the main window. Is it a problem with my copy and is there a way to get a working PDF?
View 5 Replies View RelatedGet this error when I try to open more than one file. Happens on different files, but especially on jobs that have side panels on packaging. The files have placed .psd images. Happens on different computers (10.6 & 10.8.2).
Can get the file open usually by closing the othere open file, but then is hard to copy and paste between files. Sometimes I get this when trying to open one file, but restarting Illustrator usually fixes this.
Have tried working directly from the hard drive, and still get this problem. Does to follow an exact pattern, can try to open file a, then b one day thsi will work another will fail. Seems like something is corrupting the memory, and usually happens with more complex files. Happens in CS5 & CS6, though I mostly work in CS5.
When i use AutoCad 2010, that is on a wind 7 OS, appear a message that indicate the next.
A software problem has caused autocad to close unexpectedly.
In Autocad 2014 when I use the zoom or pan command transparently some information disappears (hatch) and only reappears when I finish the command. This did not happen with version 2009.

It can be part of a line/block/text.
It shows only on the screen and not on paper in case I print it.
I run ACAD LT 2010 on a Windows XP machine and also a Vista Laptop. I have tried to print the same drawing on both machines using the DWG to PDF facility with in AutoCAD. The drawing is a third party drawing in as much as I didn't draw it although it is an authentic ACAD DWG.
I get the same message but referring to different fonts - the message reads on the Vista machine:
"Cannot find or create the font "ArialMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
On the Windows XP machine it reads:
"Cannot find or create the font "Tahoma". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
The message seems to be generated by Adobe Reader.
My computer has 8 GB of RAM. However my autocad is not faster than a computer with 2 GB of RAM. I have Windows 7. Is there a way I can allocate more RAM to Autocad to make it run faster?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a titleblock to look at and one of his layers for the lines that made up the bounderies of the titleblock, was placed on the "XID" layer. It was interesting to see that the lines had the properties of Polyline, although to my eyes it looked like a line segment.
what XID stands for in this case?
I have some problem with import SDF to dwg. Geometry in SDF is curve with mixed linear and arc segments.
But the result is not my expected result. (see image below) . All arc segments was imported not correctly.
I'm expecting my data is correctly in the sdf files, but some import mechanism not work properly.
When I make connection through FDO it's work ok.
I've been attempting to use the GEOMAP command to bring satellite imagery into one of my maps. I have followed theses steps:
1. Signed into my Autodesk360 account.
2. Assigned a coordinate system (SC83F) to my map.
3. Entered the GEO MAP command and selected "A" for aerial image.
Following these steps, I am unable to display the aerial imagery.
I've created system printers for our office using the "Add Plotter" application of AC. I've filtered paper sizes for the different printers. However, these filtered paper sizes are not the same for all workstations.
E.g. If I filter out all paper sizes and only check ISO A0 and ISO A1, on some of the workstations there are other paper sizes available. How do I avoid this from happening?
How to make PDF's which were made out of DWG"s less vague?
Same lines can come out looking good or vague. Sometime part of blocks appear vague while the other side appear good.
Using 2013, I have a drawing created in that other software ( Micro station). I opened it in autocad, and did some work to it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a batch routine that plots PDF’s of a list of drawings. Everything is working ok. It opens the drawing, turns on and off layers, and then plots to PDF. The plots come out fine, but after each plot, it opens the PDF. This would not be a problem for one or two drawings, but when doing a few hundred, it becomes quite frustrating.
I can see how to change this using the plot dialogue box, selecting DWG To PDF.pc3 and editing the custom properties. But no matter how many times I change it does not save, and will open the PDF.
I have found a work around by killing the process Acrobat.exe at the end of the plot. But is there a better way of doing this?
we modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.
I cannot seem to set the MdiActiveDocument synchronously.
I have code inside a <CommandMethod> that creates a drawing and then writes any error information to the command line. Since this is started in one document, if a fatal error occurs and the drawing does not get created, that message goes to the original document's command line.
In the case where a drawing gets created with errors (say partial success), I would like the errors to appear in the new drawing (new active document's) command line.
The behavior when setting Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument is peculiar. The application can hang for a long time if you do not click anything. If you click the document (from the taskbar or clicking on the window), it breaks out of the hang and continues to execute, but the active document is not changed. The MdiActiveDocument still points to the original document. You can also see that it does not change because doc.IsActive = False. This state could be because when you clicked, you really did make the original document active (again? still?). To break the hang, I think the click has to be on the original document.
On an example like [URL] ... there is no action taken after MdiActiveDocument is set, so I assume that it is actually set when the command is completed, not synchronously. I am not absolutely certain of this, though.
<CommandMethod("AUTODRAWPN")> _
Public Sub DrawPartNumber()
Dim ed As Editor = Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
If IsNothing(drwr) Then
[Code] .......
Is there a way to set the MDIActiveDocument? Should it be hanging like this? Should I be looking at an altogether different way to handle this?
Trying to use doc.Editor without setting the active causes a eNotApplicable error, so that is not a way out.
I am using AutoCAD 2013. The following link implies that this could be a 2013 specific problem, but I do not know that for sure. [URL] .....
