I'm sure this has been talked here before, but i cant find that variable, option or whatever it is that controls if a layout appears according to the ctb selected or with the colors and configuration your using on your drawing.I mean, you have a drawing with many layers of different colors, if your layout is set to use "monochrome", you can only see it with white/black lines.
View 4 RepliesI am having difficulty with the text in my drawings. When writing dtext or dimensions on my drawings in modelspace the text appears rough/rugged in both model space and layout space. I am using True Type (Arial) as the font. I've read older posts where people have suggested checking in Properties that the text is really laying down at 0 in the Z plane which it is. Some say using True Type is the problem, but just last week I was doing what seemed to be the same operation and I had no problems at all.

When i try to insert a scale bar or a north arrow or any other carthographic element i simply can't find the layout elements that are supposed to be in layout tools tab.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAt this time, this is my biggest complaint with Civil 3D: My drawing has many layers and overlapping objects and it's necessary to use layer manager constantly. Therefore, I will only have layers on that I need at any given time. So I'm working on a corridor, and I create temporary alignment station/offset labels. I have a style whose layer is, let's say XYZ. In the drawing I'm on layer 0. I place the label, and it does not display.
After turning on all layers, and searching throught the congestion and finally locating my label. I click on it, and properties says it's on layer 0. My style says it's on layer XYZ, but by process of elimination, I find that it's on the layer of the alignment. I understand about default layers under "edit drawing settings", but do I have to change this everytime I create an object or text? I would love to be able to override the default layer.

It appears as if every DXF or DWG file stored on our server is corrupted. Everything was fine until my boss tried to open a DXF file earlier today and got this message:
"new.dxf is not valid DXF file
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded."
His PC has been sending out distress signals and is due for replacement so I didn't think this was that unusual. However, I tried to open the same file on another machine and got the same message. I got the same message attempting to open on my PC using TrueView 2010. I then checked other DXFs and got the same problem. DWGs just say "drawing File is not valid".
The only glimmer of hope I have is that I did have a few files saved to my desktop, rather than the server, and they open just fine. My instinct is that my boss has been 'button bashing' (he has previous) but obviously won't admit to anything. What other causes are possible? Virus?
Our machines are running AutoCAD 2010 and I've attached a 'corrupted' file.
I am a student, when at school my drawing looks perfect. When I get home my text looks like it has been enlarged. I have checked all the sizes and have annotative turned off. I assume this has to be some setting that I have selected on my home computer but I can't find anything.

Not sure what info you may need I'm running windows 7 with autocad 2010. I also have autocad 2005 loaded on the same machine and this box does not appear when opening drawings with it.
We recently upgraded to Civil 3d 2014 and have had a strange box show up after printing to PDF. We use Acroplot to print to PDF. Please see attachment. It has only happened to 3 users so far and one user's system stopped doing it.
Also experience a slow open and processing initially when you made the switch to 2014 (we upgraded from 2011 c3d). We suspect it may be a conversion of files causing this. Many of the xrefs or DS have not been saved in 2014.
When I plot to PDF using DWG to PDF.pc3 the drawing appears to be washed out, some things are darker than others. I am using Autocad 2011 and Adobe Acrobat 9 and 10.
I do not have this problem when I print from Autocad 2009 .
As I am working on a project this evening, at home, and only Autocad 2011 here, and Adobe Acrobat 10.
My plot setting are identical in 2011 as they are in 2009.
I am using autocad 2008 and I used the function that allows you to hide objects such as hatching or lines under text. When I delete the text, I expected the invisible box to delete with it. Sadly this is not the case. I am not able to click or highlight the invisible box. How to remove said boxes?

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the menu that appears when you hover over polyline nodes/vertices in Autocad 2011.
I use mainly typed commands and am finding that when I select a polyline, I go to type a command and because my mouse is still on the polyline, half the time it ends up performing a completely different command because the menu has appeared in the meantime.
When I print my project to pdf there appears to be a copy (in white) of the text behind all the letters.
