I have an image with ".sid" extension. it's a high detail image. I think these images are taken from planes. I can only view it with LizardTech Express View Browser Plug-in, but i need to make drawings on this image with autocad.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded a slew of AutoCAD linetype files and have tried to "cut and paste" them into my acad notepad with no success - (maybe that's where I'm going wrong, right off the bat). Anyway, after pasting the lines of text into my notepad and saving the updated notepad, I return to AutoCAD only to find that the linetypes are not available for use.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD LT 2013 and I'm having problems inserting .dwg and .dxf files into an existing open dwg. I have previously done this successfully on this computer so I'm pretty sure that I am doing it correctly. What happens is this: I go to insert the file, select it and it shows the correct image in the preview window, but when the actual file inserts into the drawing, it's a completely different file all together. The funny thing is, I have restarted my computer and the program several times, and each time it inserts a different drawing. I have tried inserting a .dwg and .dxf and they both insert the wrong one. I tested it by xrefing the document that I want to put in and it shows up correctly when I xref. I've also tried saving it as a block with the WBLOCK command, and still the wrong thing inserts.
I downloaded the service pack for AutoCAD LT 2013 and nothing has changed.
What is the AutoCAD command within AutoCAD 2013 for inserting image files produced in .JPG format as company logos onto an A1 drawing border for use in AutoCAD.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor Pro 2014 on Windows 8.1 and when I insert or import a DWG file from AutoCAD into Inventor to extrude it into a solid, nothing shows up. Apparently a wizard is supposed to pop up but when I try it nothing at all happens. I have tried reinstalling it but nothing seems to work. I think importing a DWG into a 2D sketch is a fairly basic thing to do but I'm baffled that it isn't working. I have SP1 already installed.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I insert a pdf it does not have a white background and it REALLY slows down CAD. I played with the contrast and fade but the image gets worse. The best I can get the image to look is having the contrast set to 100 and the fade set to 0. I have used this pdf in other projects using 2004 and 2007 but with 3013 it is inserting it quite differently.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen trying to open or insert files, the folders and files are listed in reverse alphabetical order (Z on top to A on bottom) in AutoCad. All other programs are listed fine, Word, Visio, etc. Is there a variable I can type in? I have changed none of the setting that I know of. Using AutoCad 2009LT.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Map 3d 2010 to Mapd 3d 2013 and i cannot figure out how to find the commands to insert images or import/export shp files.
I'm running 2013 in "autocad classic" and did so with 2010 as well. 2010 had a menu bar pull down called "Map" where I could insert an image (Image->Insert). There was also in 2010 a toolbar named "Map" that had import shp, export shp and assign coordinate system.
I can't find any of this in 2013. I can't even find the commands in the customization to create my own toolbar. The commands work (mapiinsert, mapimport, mapexport and ADESETCRDSYS) but i can't find them listed anywhere.
I mostly use Max for 3-D walkthroughs of architecture models I design in Revit, and in all of my renderings I have computer monitors and televisions. For effect I would like to make the monitors appear as though they are in use during the walk through, nothing fancy, just a standard home-screen would do.
Is it possible to insert .jpg or png screen-shot files in place on the monitor screens to make these objects look active, and how would I accomplish this task?
I have just upgraded to Videostudio Pro X5. I am starting a project and would like to upload the videos and photos as my first task.
I have some video footage on a dvd and when I try to upload it I get a message saying:

It has been a while since I have used this program and my brain is slowly trying to remember how it all works
I have been able to insert a PDF into an AutoCAD 2013 dwg but only as an attachment. This seems to be similar to xref but I can't seem to bind the pdf to the dwg. Therefore when I send the dwg to a client and they open it, they only see the drawing format and no PDF attachment. Sending the PDF as a separate file is not an acceptable solution.
Is there a way to insert a PDF and bind it to the dwg so an external reference file is not required?
I'm not interested in converting the PDF to a dxf or any other format. Just interested in knowing whether there is a way to insert and bind a PDF to an ACAD dwg.
I'm trying to make a small program in vb.net that creates are laser drawing. So far I was able to create the drawing from a part in inventor. The only left to do is to add the Part Number + description into this drawing. I'm really struggling on this one. I'm currently able to open the drawing and that's all. I've tried many things from examples I found on forums but it's not working. This is a sample of what I have regarding autocad in my program:
Imports Inventor
Imports System.IO
Imports AutoCAD
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput

I need to find a way to add Mtext but I don't find anything that I'm able to use in my program. If any of you know a good reference, or have a sample of code.
New to using VBA with AutCAD. On my drawing I have to plot some line which I am able to plot using VBA. But when it comes to delete those lines, I have to do it manually. So gave a try to BLOCKS.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to insert hyperlinks to a file I have.
I use the command 'hyperlink' I select the object and the program crashes and is 'not responding'
Now the tricky is that this happens both in Autocad Map 2010 and 2013. And happens also in files I already have hyperlinks and new ones. If I run the software as an administrator in my pc, the command works excellent.
I insert hyperlinks in the files for many years and till now everything worked fine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to insert a block from another drawing, the only way I have been to acheive this has been to open the drawing
Set ObjDocument = ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open("D:ACADBlocksGENERAL.dwg")
For Each ObjBlock In ObjDocument.Blocks
If InStr(ObjBlock.Name, "LOGO") <> 0 Then
CopyObjects
End If
Next
ObjDocument.Close
I would prefer not to open the drawing to access the block, is this possible in VBA.
I have been using the Web Mapping Server for inserting aerial photography for quite some time now. I recently upgraded to Civil 3d 2010, and now when I attempt to insert an aerial photo I get a message box that says "There was a problem adding data to Map." and the image does not show up. When tried on a machine with full administrator privileges it works just fine.
This is a new problem that does not happen in Civil 3d 2009. Here is a link to the WMS site that I have been using, it is through the Land Management Information Center with the State of Minnesota.

I wish to insert a title sheet dwg, which has attribute definitions, as a block in another dwg. I can insert it, and if I explode it, the attribute definitions appear. Otherwise they are not added to the database.
I am using standard code, which I can attach. it starts
Dim btr As BlockTableRecord
..
Dim blk As BlockReference = New BlockReference(ip, blkid)
' insert block
..
btr.AppendEntity(blk)
If btr.HasAttributeDefinitions Then
ForEach attID As ObjectId In btr
etc.
but btr.HasAttributeDefinitions = False
We have just done an overhaul of all our standard block symbols. These ultimately get saved into our title block template files.
Is there an easier way than Inserting each block individually?
Is there a variable that can automatically Redefine all blocks if I drag them in using ADC? The default setting is that any block that is already defined in that drawing will not get redefined.
Is there any advantage when inserting someone else drawing into yours to xref it rather than copy and pasting into your drawing?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to insert some blocks that i read from CSV file. I am reading the values for X and Y position from a CSV file and inseting blocks with this values in AutoCAD.
Here is my
[CommandMethod("BI_5")] public void BlockInsert_5() { String filePath="C:\Users\Dimitar\Desktop\imp.csv"; CsvDoc csv = new CsvDoc(filePath, true); for (int i = 0; i < csv.Data.Count; i++) { string blockQualifiedFileName = csv.Get<string>(i, "Block Path"); double scale = 3.0; Vector3d DispacementVector = new Vector3d(Double.Parse(csv.Get<string>(i, "PosX")), Double.Parse(csv.Get<string>(i, "PosY")), 0); // Database tmpDb = new Database(false, true); tmpDb.ReadDwgFile(blockQualifiedFileName, System.IO.FileShare.Read, true, ""); Matrix3d Transform = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem; Transform = Transform * Matrix3d.Scaling(scale, Point3d.Origin) * Matrix3d.Displacement(DispacementVector / scale); db.Insert(Transform, tmpDb, true); } }
One of the values for Y is 0. And the block instead of showing on X,0 it shows at some X,Y value. If you need to see the csv file I can upload it.
Im having some troubles inserting a block into a line. See image. The block on the left inserts into the line and has attachment points (AutoCAD P&ID Provided) the block on the right i created. Im unable to get it to insert within the line without manually breaking the line after insertion, the result being the line through my block.

I just created a dynamic block for our rev clouds, cause they're annoying to draw.
For some reason when I insert it, it is automatically inserting at 0,0. Why is it doing that? Also, if I put it into a Tool Palette (my boss just discovered these, so I'm creating a whole bunch for the company... those things are AWESOME) and when I use the Tool Palette, it works just fine.
Now, this won't be a problem as long as everyone uses the TP's I'm creating, but we have one Engineer in particular that's a toolbag and doesn't seem to remember to use all the stuff I spend all this time researching and programming.
I am working on a drawing and my boss wants me to put the company logo in the corner of the picture. Im really struggling to do this. I've done some reading up on the net and read that i must covert it from JPEG to DXF then from DXF to DWG. Which i have done and inserted.. But, the picture looks nothing alike the logo as it is just lines, can insert it with the colours etc?
If not how can i plot my cad drawing and print the logo on the same page, to right hand side of my drawing forexample.
Every time I insert a block (dynamic or otherwise) into any drawing (I have tried several) my ucs (0,0) changes to the insertion point of that new block. I don't know what I have done, what button I have inadvertently pushed or setting that I have set, but I do not know how to undo this!
Iam using AutoCAD 2014.
I have an old drawing where I am inserting layout from the template. The problem is that the template is off from the white sheet of paper. My templates are .dwt files and usually work fine.
