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.
View 9 RepliesI created an attribute of a title block, our company logo is inserted as a raster image within the attribute, I created this dwg file into a dwt file (template) however every time I open a new drawing and insert in the template file in the paperspace tab the attribute comes in but always with the logo?
The frame of the logo shows up with the file path of where is is located.
The most efficient way of inserting a title block (the border around a drawing with text etc) into a layout? Sometimes when I insert a title block it seems like the title block is too big or too small for the layout .
View 9 Replies View RelatedI inserted a dwg created with Autocad LT 2004 into a MS Word 2010 document using: Insert | Object | Create from file. The result is the desired drawing is inserted but, in addition, the template used to create the dwg is also included and visible as if it is an additional layer. How to keep this from happening?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I create drawings, I generally have quite a few layout tabs. Also, thse tabs are numbered 1 through to N. On many occasions, a revision or addition may be necessary and it may have to be inserted in between two existing tabs. Doing so is not a problem, however, keeping the numbering sequence in order without having to rename every tab in that file is a problem.

Full Bleed Size (starting document size)
5.59" x 4.33"
142mm x 110mm
1677 x 1300 pixels
* Finished artwork should use the full bleed dimensions for best results.
Document Trim Size (final size after being cut)
5.47" x 4.21"
139mm x 107mm
1642 x 1264 pixels
* keep all text within the safe margin.

They are telling me to verify:
1. final document size is correct. (5.59" x 4.33")
2. all background colors and images bleed to the edges of the document at the full bleed dimensions (5.59" x 4.33").
3. all important text and images are within the safe margin (.137” from the edge of your document).
4.resolution is 300 DPI at 100%.
5. all fonts are converted to outlines (Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw).
I have a small project that I'm working on that inserts a new layout based on a user selected template size (A, B, C or D sizes). I need the program to insert the layout along with the titleblock geometry from the existing A, B, C, or D dwt files.
I know how to add a new blank layout. However, I'm having some trouble determing how to insert the titleblock geomtry. I've read a number of posts on here related to layouts, and while they were informative, none of them covered exactly what I need to do.
I'm having difficulties every now and then importing a template 'Layout'Â 'first image'..Most of the time it's fine, and imports no worries as in the 'second image'
Why they are different, I have check Page Setup Manager, and I can't identify any differences.I'm using the Design Manager to Import the Layout (in both instances).
IMAGE 1 - PROBLEM IMPORTING TEPMLATE LAYOUT...The actual 'page' you can see in the bottom left corner, the 'block' has been scaled like 20-fold, Wierd!?!
IMAGE 2 - LAYOUT HAS BEEN IMPORTED CORRECTLY.
This isn't new or original, so I know there's got to be a better way to streamline it. Me and my team are going to be at an event, and we're going to take lots of photos. We want a way to very quickly apply a template around these photos. In this case, we're making it look as if the photos are the front page of a newspaper.
Â
I'm speaking to one of my company's designers, and he seems to think we would have to do this manually in Photoshop 1 by 1, but I know there has to be a better way. There are tons of iPhone (etc) apps to apply templates/skins to photos.

What's the easiest solution to my problem?
I am currently drawing my plans and realised the template: "Tutorial-mArch.dwt" is an A1 Paper Size.
I can only print A4 pages so when I compressed it to a A4, the layout of title box simply goes out of scale.
How do I scale those? If you do not mind me asking more, how do I make my title box (name scale on my own?
I am using Autocad 2012, I made a drawing frame template up in model space, then saved it into the DWT template folder, when I go into Layout and into insert to insert the template it will not show up.
I reloaded the DWT template back into model space and saved it as a DXF and I am able to insert the dxf template in Layout using the insert Block.
I can get the job done by using the dxf template but I would like to be able to insert the DWT template.
When I import a layout from template it takes about 5-10 min of ACA not responding before it will actually import the layout from my template file. It will do this on any new file the first time and then it will work just fine after that. This was happening with ACA 2013 and now with 2014.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo everytime I import a layout from my template, the scale comes out wrong. The border is way too big, viewport, and the stamp is also way to big. It's being scaled by approximately by 12.28 times.
Here's what I can share:
- both drawings are in inches in both files
- all that 'insunits' stuff is set to zero in both files
- 'measurement' and 'measureinit' is set to zero in both files
- using AutoCAD 2012
- xyz scale is all at 1.00
- the titleblock itself almost imports correctly, only some of my att text doesn't come out properly as well.
As far as i can tell it's the command 'from template' issue. Because when i cut and paste the templates layout contents, it comes out fine.Â
I have previously drawn my title block in Model space but i now know the correct way is to draw it in the layout.
Is there anyway of transporting the title block template into the layout and then saving that as a template for my future drawings?
Or do I need to go back to the beginning and draw the title block again from scratch in the layout and then save that drawing as a template for future use?
In the title block of a my layout template I have tables inserted for revisions, drawing type, numbering etc. I have type already inserted in those blocks that I typically click on and then type in what I need it to say. My template works on all my other drawings except a particular one that I am currently working on.
When I click on the type, it automatically increases from 3/16" to 8" and enlarges the box to accommodate the new font size.
I've attached a screen. The top is before I click on the word "type" in the lower right corner and the bottom one is afterward.
When I manually add a new layout from a template, I do NOT get any extra layers, but when I use VB to do the same thing, I get extra layers.
In the original drawing, I have layers called "SHEET", "TEXT", and "VIEWPORT" (among other layers).
In the template where I get my new layout, I also have the same layer names ("SHEET", "TEXT", and "VIEWPORT").
After the new layout gets read in, I now have extra layers called "$0$SHEET", "$0$TEXT", and "$0$VIEWPORT". Why does this happen using VB, but not when I do it manually? Is there anything I can do to the code to change this? I understand the layer names are the same, but they're the same whether I do it manually or by code.
Public Function importLayout(ByVal templateFileName As String, ByVal templateLayoutName As String) As ObjectId Dim idLayout As ObjectId = ObjectId.Null Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim ed As Editor = doc.Editor Dim oLock As DocumentLock = doc.LockDocument() Dim

I am working on creating a book layout for print. I opened the .doc file through my Mac text editor and placed in InDesign CC as a text flow. I am working on adding design elements now (after I adjusted the page layout of the text on all the pages) and blank pages keep inserting themselves in weird places (for instance page 7 will suddenly turn into a blank page and my text will move itself down while design elements such as chapter headings will stay in the place where I put them, but then be completely out of place according to where the text is now). I have tried to adjust it every way I can think of--- by moving all of the text up onto the new blank page and re-aligning the chapter headings, by moving the blank pages to the end of the book and deleting them, and of course, by just simply deleting them. (Deleting them just causes the layout to become mis-aligned even worse, and just re-adds the blank page I attempted to delete.)

If I create a precast stair in default template I get "end with riser" turned on automaticaly. If I copy that stair to my template and create new stair, "end with riser" is turned off and I manually have to adjust stair afterwards.
Â
Problem is "end with riser" is now an instance parameter of stairs and I can't find where to change the default value.
Â
Why is the stair type that works in default template stuffed when copied to my template?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
