All my googling turns up is to export my layer manager to excel and stuff. This is not what i want to do. I will try to illustrate what i am doing in the easiest manner possible.
I have a .DWG with layers "A" right through to "Z"
I want to export layers A, E, I, O, U and their contents to a new drawing for another use later.
Is it possible to export the contents Table directly into Excell from AutoCad2012?
I've tried the Data extraction wizard but it seems to export the Table attributes/properties and not the contents of the table.
I am creating a montage. I am wondering how to add all files in a specific folder to new layers without resizing them. I am aware of the automateII function but it resizes the images.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a group called "grey button" with a text layer ("ok, got it") and a shape layer ("large grey") within in it. Sometimes the two elements within the group show up in the layers palette, sometimes they don't. Sometimes when I click the drop down for the group folder, it looks to be open but nothing shows beneath it. Sometimes when I can get the items within the group folder to show beneath the folder, then close the dropdown, the folder looks closed but the elements are still showing beneath it.

Especially now that I'm working with Convert to Shape Layer functionality I'm wondering what an efficient/shortcut based way to work with these inner menus is. For instance when converting Text to Shape layers - it seems like I'm spending most of my time dealing with twirly triangle management
I don't even know how to search for them: obviously searching for anything "collapse" takes one to a bunch of collapse transformations stuff.
I want to add the same 3 adjustment layers to about 20 photos and then in scripts, export layers to files, so that each photo includes the adjustments.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have now exactly the same problem as below with over 1000 images, I have saved them in .psd that has over 100 layers each. On top of those there is curves and levels layer that affects every layer below. I want to save all images to .jpg for videoedit with those curves at least. I don't want to merge same curves 100 times. Is there a solution in phothoshop cs5 or cs6 available? Would save alot of working hours. All I have got by this far is blank white images of adjustment layers and non adjusted jpg-files.

How to merge adjustment layers to hundreds of layers?
Jul 28, 2010 10:38 AMSay I have a photoshop File with 100 layers.
And say I created 3 adjustment layers on top of those 100 layers to get the adjustments that i want for those layers. I'm happy with the adjustments but Then I NEED to merge those 3 adjustment layers to ALL those 100 layers.
Is there a way to easily permanently apply the adjustments to each of those layers without having to do it manually? I absolutely need to merge the adjustments to the seperate layers because of how the layers are being used in a seperate 3d program.
So far what I've been doing is duplicating the adjustment layers for each layer and merging them to said layers separately.. I wish I could just right click the adjustment layer and Tell it to merge to everylayer it affects or apply to every layer underneath it!
I've looked through some of the other threads but haven't seen a good or easy answer for this one. We export our DWG's to PDF and it keeps all the layers that are on. Is it possible to export the DWG to PDF and have the PDF show layers that were turned off in the PDF? Our drawing are easily changed to include beveled glass or a raised panel, some customers want this while others don't, we currently have to create a seperate DWG for each version of this. We'd like to prodce the DWG to PDF, and in the PDF have the option of turning on the layers.

I am interested in either of these two options, or both:
- From ipt: sketches and features (surfaces, solids etc.) to defined dwg layers
- From iam: parts to defined layers
I am using Inventor 2013.
I am very new to AutoCAD (1 day of playing around).
My company is an independant environmental consultancy company that uses GIS (QGIS/shapefiles/.dxf is compatable) to create maps etc. We are generally sent AutoCAD .dwg or .dxf from out clients for the technical drawings of their projects. I have a few questions:
The files I am sent are not georeferenced, no background map, no connection with the real world, is there a better way to georeference these drawings than the "Set Location" tab (this is a good tool if I could set the location before I begin, but it only has 1 point of reference and when the client sends a road alignment, for example, the single point of reference does not allow me to keep consistent scale/orientation etc?If the client sends a drawing with many layers (bore holes/road/solar panals/site office/power lines) how do I seperate these layers from one another and export them as individual .dxf for use in our GIS and mapping programs?
I want to export the layers names to Excel, as I used in VBA. I'm using AutoCAD 2011 (64b), VB Express 2010, Office 2003 (32b). I ran this routine in XP 64b and W7 64 with the same problem.
No problem in building the DLL, or loading it to AutoCAD. When running the command, Excel opens, but no workbook is created and I get this Unhandled exception error:

Is there a way within Autocad to lock a layer so that only certain people have access (say using a password).
Also is there a way to export model space from one workbook to another. In that one is the standard company file and I want to build a sepearte workbook for my purposes (making specific paper spaces etc...) but I want to use their model space for the model space of my workbook. Also if possible to export would this exported model space make changes when changes were made on the original copy?
Is there any way to export a sketch to DXF and control the target layer of sketch entities?
Solid Lines go to Layer=0
Construction Lines go to Layer=Construction
Center Lines go to Layer=Center
I am currently using
Sketch.DataIO.WriteDataToFile("DXF", strDXFOutputFile)
which send everything to layer=0

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have image.psd file with base1, base2, base3, base4, base5 layers and
variation1, variation2,, variation80 layers.
I need to export images and save them as
imagebase1variation1.jpg, , imagebase1variation80.jpg
and the same for each base layer + each variation layer. What is the most efficient way to do that in Photoshop CS5? (And I need to repeat this task for the rest of my 200 .psd images!)
I have a part of the brain which is a 3d object. I need to split it up in to 2d layers at a set orientation, so i can mesure the area of a cross section.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been chasing this Layer Export Nirvana for a couple of years now but I've got nowhere.In ImageReady 2 I could import a PSD file and export layers with exactly the name I used for each layer (with no annotations, prefixes or suffixes), with the entire file size (not cropped to the edge of the image) in a PSD format.The script in Photoshop adds extenions to the file name that I can't see how to turn off.
I've tried a couple of free (SciptsRus) and commercial (Ferry) scripts but they don't seem to work with my version of Photoshop (Mac CS5 OS X 10.7.4). Is this a result of the recent Javascript updates with Mac OS X 10.7? I'll contact the authors of these scripts next and see what they say.
I tried a PC program called Super Layer which exports to PNG files and almost was what I wanted except it cropped the file size to the size of the image. I could get away with this I suppose if I copied a 1% single pixel into each corner of the file but that would be time consuming for all the layers I need to export (500-600) and means I'd have to rasterise the type layers which is also double handling.
I've even tried Graphic Converter on a Mac but can't get that to quite work. I end up with solid white backgrounds and no transparency.All I want is to open a PSD file (preferably on Mac OS) and export each layer at the same size on a transparent background with just the name of the layer as the file name as a PSD file. I'll alos accept .PNG format as well as long as I get transparency and full file size. Just like we could do with brilliant effeiciency with ImageReady CS2. I've actually kept an old version of ImageRady on my PC for just this purpose but surely in the 21st Century there is a way around this?\
Via Actions, the Sphere filter, and a great original earth pic , I've generated a 352 layer file of the earth spinning. Each layer shows the earth from a slightly different angle. WIth lighting effects and all, it's pretty cool.
Now I want to export it to 352 (alpha-channel-enabled) .png files for inclusion ito a Director program. (A simple GIF animation using ImageReady leaves fringing.)I cannot figure out how to create the separate files except via by hand. Any ideas?
Is there a way to export all/some of the layers in a PDN to single images ?
maybe an "export layers" option ?
I think I saw a plugin some where that saves layers. but i'm not sure.
the reason for me asking is that I have started a number of new projects and most of the work is already based on and done under other different PDN projects and I want to take a few layers from each PDN project file..
I tried the long way to check/unchecked layers and flatten the image each
time , but its too much work :-(
there must be a faster way to do it.
If not , can something like this be added to Paint.Net.
we do have under layers "import from file".
can "export to file" be added ?
where i can select the type of Image like jpg/png and it would export the selected layers.
Why can I not export layers to Photoshop? I need the text editable, too. Working in a multilayered .ai.

I'm working with CS5. I'm trying to export layers of a single PSD file to individual jpeg files, but I want to keep the manipulations I've made on each layer and multiple layers on the exported files themselves instead of each manipulation being exported as its own file. For example if i change the brightness of all my layers and then go to scripts and "export layers to files" the layers do not keep the change in brightness. Instead it keeps the original brightness level and a JPEG file gets created just for the brightness itself (it looks like a blank sheet).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the build in photoshop script [Export Files To Layers]
I have 17 layers with two adjustment layers on top (the adjustment layers are changing the Hue/Saturation and the color balance.
When I use the script, I get 19 layers (jpg's of the adjustment layers as well)
and their settings are completely ignored (the pictures look like what they did with out the adjustment layers) I tried both options for Visible and ICC profile- no change.
Im i trying to save some time and manual work by using an action or script to do most of the work for me, but cant seem to figure out how to do it right. Now its for a jewellery customization site, where you can choose ring, stone, color etc.
I have all images as separate images (on white background) but placed in exact the same position, so they can be placed right on top of each other and exported. Even though its a fairly simple process this would take a long time, as there are many combinations!
