AutoCad :: How To Make Xref Fully Editable Then Save As Standard DWG
Dec 6, 2013
I'm working on a fire damaged 4 floor condo project.I have an xref zip folder sent to me from the original architectural firm. It's been unzipped. Now I have multiple drawings. Each with it's own xref. I want to be able to have a fully editable drawing (in this case of a 3 story condo). I want to be able to add or delete, at will, any part of the drawing without any concerns of messing up an xref file.
How can I do this?

When I try to edit a particular Xref in a drawing, I get a message saying:-
Selected Xref Block is NOT editable.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?

Inventor Suite 2011.
In optimizing a new assembly I'll often have several iterations where I take an assembly to a point and would like to keep that design intact, yet would like to move on from there with new design features based off that existing design.
Currently this is the way I archive these fully functional design iteration steps that may be created just a few weeks apart.
Open assembly - save as "LinkageDesign-7.iam"
Open each part individually - save as next part # sequence...
In the new assembly then RMB click on each part and replace with new part # sequence that I just saved.
Parts keep all their contraints and are ready for me to start adjusting, all the while having the other version still intact so I can compare directly 2nd iteration with 7th iteration.
A way to do this with fewer clicks? As the larger the assembly the larger the task at completing this.

I work in a multi-layer map, which I want to make a copy of. At the moment my background map (x-ref in layer 0) is editable/possible to unlock, but I don´t want it to be in my copy. Basically, I just want it to use it as a background picture in my new map.

I opened a transparent PNG and exported the PNG to another file and unchecked 'save color values from transparent pixels' but about 20% of the color values in transparent pixels STILL remain in the picture when viewed in other programs that show those pixels!!! Gimp is NOT removing ALL color values in transparent pixels!

I am unable to save any changes to my style & standards for Inventor lt suite 2014.
Is this meant to be as indicated by the wikihelp (Save styles to the library in the Style Library Manager), or have i got something installed wrong.

make editable graphics that would turn these images: into these (for example): simply by changing the colors and school name somewhere perhaps in an excel file. Obviously the file would have columns or something for primary color, secondary color, etc. and for team Name, Team nickname.

How do I make a style in the library standard? I made new styles in the library for a revision table and parts list, but when placing them in an IDW I always get the standard tables.
It's not a big deal to change it in the format tab after placement, but when having 50+ sheets/daily its getting annoying.

Pipe and tank plant layouts, now need to make a modified (not standard) pipe fitting.
Looking for a pipe plug drawing. the fitting (Imperial) is 4—10. Four inch NPT piping. Appears to have a slight taper, very slight.
Or, better yet, a G 3-3/4" pipe thread(?).
a *.dwg (AutoCAD 2007) drawing?

I want to be able to do this so that the text is able to be searched by google / search engines when I make the PDF available online.

Is there a way to make an editable mesh or poly somewhat transparent when a material is applied? Think of the material being a thin cloth such as nylon. You can't see directly through it, but it isn't like a thick material such as jeans etc. I also want to make this object deform like a balloon inflating, so I don't know if that will cause issues with transparency.

A simple editable mesh object, a piece of terrain, which has standard texture on it an no modifiers, just some UV's on channel 1.
Whenever I add "edit poly" modifier or convert it to editable poly, additional geometry will be created. Statistics show that only vertex count of the selected object goes up about 6x but no additional faces are generated. This not the case when check on a sub-object level, there are lot of additional faces created. I've never seen this happen, jumping between edit poly and edit mesh has been easy without any errors like this.
I've tried the same model with 2013 as well - same results. Also tried collapsing the object, removing uv-mapping, different materials, attaching the mesh to empty box, etc, garbage collection, exporting it to obj and importing - even then same thing happens.

Often when selecting objects I unwillingly select the x-ref as well. Can the x-ref be made "untouchable" in some way?

I was wondering how I can manage to make text attributes show in an xref.
If this is not possible, is there a way to have text on a xref that is locally editable?

Is there a way to make the pop-up window that comes up when you delete a photo have "delete from disk" be the standard option highlighted in blue instead of "Remove"?
Or a way to use the keyboard to move the selected option? I know about the keyboard shortcut, Alt Ctrl Shift Delete, just wondering if there is a way to mess with the pop-up window selection. I have LR4 on a mac.

I have a few problems with my autoCAD 2010 version on my new computer.When I make a few hatches, there is a possibility that my entire computer freezes and the only way out is a hard shut down of my computer.
The same problem also appeared when I tried to open a drawing direct in autoCAD or when I search the file to make an exref into the drawing.

I have created the part based on piece of standard angle taken from library. Now I want to make a mirrored copy of this part by Component-Mirror.
Inventor does not let me do it with standard part.
The question is: How I can transform a standard part to normal one, I mean I could get rid of belonging to standard part? Making a copy does not work. The only way is to derive and mirror this part but I wish there could be easy way.

when I am in Nitrous display mode the Xref scene functionality is broken. I can load an xref scene but can't make it display as box. If I check the "Box" field nothing happens. Everything works ok though when in Direct3D or OpenGL display mode.

I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?
I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.

Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
[Code].....
