How to save the settings as the default dialog box?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to rename and replace occurences in an assembly, then modify the occurence name.I rename and replace only Farme generator components, which is tested by <condiftion>.What I want to do :
- Num = ABC
- Original filename = toto.ipt
- New filename = ABC_toto.ipt, and Occurence name = ABC_toto
The code :
fileDir contain the file path
docFName contain the original file name (for example, toto.ipt)
Num contain the prefix to add to the name and the occurence name (for example, ABC)
If <condition>Then
New_name = fileDir & Num & "_" & docFName
Call oFileNameOcc.SaveAs(New_name, True)
Call oOccurrence.Replace(New_name, False)
oOccurrence.name = Num & "_" & oOccurrence.name
End If
The problem is, the first time I use the macro, the prefix is added twice in the occurence name (the filename is ok) : I obtain ABC_ABC_toto. This happen only the first time, and only on an orrignal Frame Generator assembly.
If I use the macro again, with for example Num = 123, the result is : 123_ABC_ABC_toto.Where is the problem ?
I have recently installed Inventor Suite 2010 on a new computer and I am receiving this error on a majority of my files.
Cannot modify the library file W:T46DManufacturing Drawings8300673-.idw
Component W:T46DManufacturing Drawings8300673-.idw is not checked out to you. Edits are not allowed on this file.
I understand this has something to do with using Vault. However since I am the only one using Inventor and these files are not shared, I did not install Vault on the old computer or the new one.
All of a sudden I get this message when I try to change the materials of any part within my workspace folder. I looked at the project and everything looks fine. I can save the file but cannot change or add anything now.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to automatically register the file with a partial modification is the name to prevent destroying the original file. Since i am working most of the time on one file at the time, i would like to be able to apply a script which provides the final touch and save the file in the same as well with a little modification in the name: Example:
IMG_4000 --> IMG_4000b
So it means that i do not go via the batch processor to change the name.
It seems that any picture saved in TIF format using Photoshop Elements 5.0 cannot later have the Summary section of its properties modified. I discovered this when trying to add comments to pictures after using Photoshop to modify them. Windows XP gives the following error message when you try to change anything in the Summary tab of the file's properties:
"Changes to Summary properties could not be saved; access has been denied.
The file may be marked read-only or may be in use by another application."
The file is not marked as read-only, and Photoshop is not open. Rebooting does not fix it. Even copying the file to another computer does not fix it. The error stays with the file. It should not be an issue with permissions, since I'm logged on as Administrator on both computers. It's not a problem with TIF files, since I can modify the Summary properties of TIF files that were created with other programs, for instance my scanner. And it doesn't happen with files saved by Photoshop in any format except TIF. Something Photoshop is doing when it saves a TIF file results in modification of the Summary properties being permanently disabled.
I'm scanning old family photos to digital format and use the lossless TIF format for the master copies, so using another format is not an option. But I want to be able to go back and add comments to the master copies as new facts about the people and places in the photos come to light. I can keep a separate text file for descriptions of the photos, of course, but that always runs the risk of the comments getting separated from the picture.

how to modify the options in the save dialog?Every time I save a file and have to choose the file type, I have to scroll through obscure and obsolete file types. Sure, I might need someday to save Scitex CT, or Photoshop DCS, but the chances are very slim. Some people surely use PIXAR and TARGA, but I don't. What the hell is an IFF? If I ever need a Portable Bit Map (really?) file it would be great if I could find it in a user defineable option pull down. I can pretty well guarantee that the file types I need are PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and once in a blue moon, GIF.

Why doesn't PS do LR style non-destructrive editing, i.e., why not simply return a record of the edits made in a format compatible with LR?

I guess I'm looking for some sort of way to open the file without all the graphics. I just want to access and edit the data.
I have a large amount of files that need to be processed and it would just take forever. I was hoping there was some way to open the drawing in the background for the program to work with.

I want to know how to open a dwg file that has been saved as a pdf file format so i can edit it.
Why do people save it to a pdf anyway? Doesn't that degrade the quality of the drawing?
I have a lot of clients that send me there drawing but i constantly have to tell them that they have to send the original form if they want it to be edited. Most of the time I have to use a converter to to convert it to a dwg file but the quality degrades drastically. I can’t believe in 2013 I’m still having problems with this.
I’ve tried Any PDF to DWG Converter but it doesn’t convert it very well.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to know about the permission needed to edit the autocad file. In my folder there are many autocad files. I need to give the edit permission to one particual file to a specific user.
First i tried with folder level security. But i failed.
1. I have given full permission for the particular user (Except: Delete,Write Attribute) in the folder level. But when i tried to open the drawing file, it throws an error. Error: "File is currently using by the user1. Would you like to open the file read-only?"
2. I have given full permission for the particular user (Except: Delete) in the folder level. Now i could open the file successfully. But after editing, when i tried to save the document, it throws an error: Error: "Unable to save to drawing D:TestTest.dwg as it is being accessed by another session. Drawing saved to "D:Testsav460B.tmp"
3. Now i have given full permission for the particular user including Delete permission in the folder level. Now i could save the drawing succesfully after editing.
From this , i guess, it needs delete permission in the folder level to edit and save the drawing (I understood this is for creating/deleting tmp/.bak files during saving the document.). But giving delete permission in the folder level is very risky.
why I can't edit the "Vector Graphics" section in my PC3 file? See attached PDF. I belive that this is causing some undesired results when publishing to the plotter.

I want to edit some values in the data table of a shape file (*.shp) with AutoCAD Map 3d 2013. Every time I alter a value in data table it takes about 30 seconds until AutoCAD Map saves (?) the value. I have to wait 30 second until I can continue working. Why is this so slow?
The shape file has 7000 lines and is stored on a local drive.
I want to add an attribute to a BLK file I have from a past release. Using this .BLK file, I can create a table from attributes in my drawing using a LISP routine.
It seems there is no way to create or edit a .BLK file that I can use for this in ACAD 2011, it only creates .DXE files.
The problem with the .DXE file is that is saves the drawing that the original extraction is performed on. When I use the .DXE in another drawing, it uses the original drawing data unless I manually "delete" the old drawing reference using the dialog box in the extraction wizard.
The .BLK file works perfectly, but I want to add an attribute. How can I create a new, or edit my old .BLK file?
Will I have to reinstall an older version of AutoCAd to accomplish this?
