AutoCad :: Maintaining JPEG Paths Of Drawings
Jun 1, 2012
I prepare drawings for a client which include .jpeg images as part of the final product. The problem is: When I work on these drawings from my home office, I need to re-establish the .jpeg's path in order to work on the drawing. Then when I send these drawing files back to my client, they need to re-establish the .jpeg's path on their end in order to display the drawing properly. My client and I would like very much to be able to avoid this "re-establishing paths" step, where we can each open the drawing file on our computers and immediately see the jpeg image as part of the drawing.

For new drawings, is there a way to program Autocad to always load Xrefs relative? We pretty much use xrefs everywhere, and it seems like it would save a lot of time if I didn't have to open the External References and change each xref to relative.
Also, if you have an existing drawing and need to change the xref from absolute to relative path, is there a way to have it automatically do that? I'm assuming there isn't, but thought I'd ask.

I want to convert drawings to JPEG or any other appropriate format so that I can make a 15 min video presentation on Camtasia Studio or Power Point.

I am having a problem plotting drawings as JPEGs. I have used the Page setup manager to select the JPEG plotter and I want to plot only in black and white. Previewing the plotted JPEG looks fine but when I then import the JPEG into a document, line elements appear in grayscale and it appears that only some polylines appear as true black.

What do you think it's better between Attach JPEG image vs Embed OLE Objects in Cad Drawings? I have used OLE Object in the past and i problem i have is that, I can't rotate OLE object/image i can scale and move. i can't clip OLE obj. For Attach JPEG or PDF when someone accidently delete the JPEG which were attached out of the computer then when i open the file it will show "Not found" on the external Ref. this won't happen in OLE obj. i tried not to use either of these methods above because it increases the size of the dwg but this is how the Co Worker wants for this project. The drawing size is less than 1000KB not too bad.

My client has sent me a high resolution JPEG which is a monogram of his initial ("C") on top of a complex filigree. It's all one color. He wants the letter "C" to be a different color than the filigree pattern. The goal is to create a logo for his website and business cards.
How should I separate the C from the rest of the monogram? I've done an Image Trace which resulted in a perfect rendition of the entire artwork. But how to I separate the C? Any Illustrator experts out there?
Here's a lo-res version of the artwork he sent. I've already managed to eliminate the grays and turn this into a two-color (black and white) image. What next?

I was just wondering: what is the best way to vectorize for instance drawings you have on JPEG on the computer?
For example: I have an image of a circus poster with a beautiful clown on it. How can I vectorize it and modernize it?

I want to join two paths to create a shape that I can fill but at the same time retain one of the original paths (the red one in the image below). I can copy the path I want to retain but surely there is a more elegant solution. See below for for an illustration:

I am using AutCAD LT 2012 and I cannot figure out how to convert my drawings to EPS while maintaining the scale of the dwg. When my artists import them in Adobe, they show up as an 8.5" x 11" sheet. How to change the properties.

I'm using ACAD LT 2008.
When i try to copy paste some drawing entities from a heavy drawing file to any other file, the program blocks and says 'not responding', endlessly. So i always have to shutdown the program. I experience the same problem using the designcenter: when I try to copy a layout into another drawing, my computer gets stuck.
Another annoying problem with these files is that they are so heavy, while in fact they shouldn't be. I tried the aectoacad file command. In result the file id half as big, but after I open it and save it, again is the original size.

Every now and then I go back and try to use publish to speed up printing but I always go back to plotting one by one.
I work in a housing construction office and I have 10 separate drawings side by side in model space for house plans that I need plot separate to give to certain people. My problem isn't that I can't publish them separately its that I can't save them over existing pdf's individually predetermined.
Q1. do i just have to go through and change every layout name before or after i publish?
Q2. how do i change the output publish location?
Q3. can each layout be saved to a different existing pdf and remember it?
Q3. can i save these setting across to a new drawing?

I need to cut slots in a circular pattern around a flange ring, but I also need the slots to maintain their orientation so the slots are straight.
What I am atempting is to create a shim that once cut can be slid between 2 flange rings and not have to take the bolts all the way out.
I attached a pic of what I am trying to do. The slot has to stay in that orientation, yet patterned around the circle.

I went to the trouble of going through my model to turn off visibility for many many planes and axes and points that I did not need to see. I had only a few on that I need. By some flick of the wrist suddenly they are all back on again!! I am now back in a state where I can either see them all, or I hit Ctrl-] and they all go away. I cannot seem to get back to a point where I only have on the ones I want.
So, how do I definitely TURN OFF visibilty for ALL work features so that I can then selectively TURN ON only a few? The Object Visibility tool does not seem to do this. It doesn't seem to do much more than the Ctrl ] or Ctrl / or Ctrl . that I use to momentarily toggle visibility.

I have 2 .IGS files (which I also have saved as SLDPRT files) that were drawn for me. I can open .IGS files in my copy Free CAD and the SLDPRT files in an eDrawings viewer.
I have sent the .IGS files to a CNC routing company as I want the shapes to be machined / CNC'd out of wood. However the company is saying the curvers are coming out faceted and asking for 2D DXF files.
Is it possible to convert an IGS file to a DXF files so all the dimension information is maintained?

I am trying to miter the joints in an assembly being used for iCopy. Currently there is a driver sketch which has lines bisecting each corner at 45 degrees. However, what happens is that when the top line of the sketch is dragged across the bottom line of the sketch or the left line is dragged across the right so that the rectangle inverts itself, the line no longer bisects the angle. See the attached pictures for details.
This sketch shown is a master sketch used to drive part length and end details in an assembly. The blue lines are extruded into surfaces which define the parts using a "Between two planes" extrusion.
The sketch is unconstrained in four ways: overall width, overall height, vertical and horizontal movement. This is done to accomodate its use in as a flexible assembly in an iCopy command. What happens is that when the user applies the iCopy points from the wrong side of a sketch plane in the parent assembly, the sketch flips itself and resizes the assembly but the miters are inverted.

When I copyclip a dimension from one drawing with UCS set to world/north, then paste into another drawing with UCS rotated in Z (south for example), the text remains oriented to north. The original drawing doesn't have to be set to world, just something different from the paste orientation.
Is there a way to have the text orient itself to the current UCS at paste?

For a while now I have been attempting to resolve a a part of my CAD drawing. As seen below I have a 3D Solid. The part circled is result of subtracting a cylinder from the shape. I am now trying to find a solution to make both the above and below edges of the dotted line meet as one while maintaining the curve I have subtracted.

I have created a few graphics for my web site using transparent background layers. On my PC, when I try to Save For Web the background always goes white. On my Laptop my images are saving with a transparent background. In both cases I am attempting to save as a .GIF. The transparency box is checked when saving.

I burned a DVD of some .MOV clips, and the quality of the video on the DVD is noticeably worse than the original files. The size of the original files is 2.9 GB, but they are shrunk down to just 2.01 GB on the DVD. The bitrate is also significantly lower.

I have designed a small gif motif for a webpage. I used paths which I then filled so it would be sharp. However, when I reduce it to the size I would like on the web page (about 45 pixels) , the edges look ragged. I can't seem to get rid of the bitmapped look.

When I export a Xara P&GD file as a PDF, none of the photo edits make it through. I cropped & lightened a lot and they show up as the original darker version. I did "save" the file and all its editing prior to exporting it.

My pictures may eventually be part of a book and they must be a minimum 300dpi. I started out with Microsoft Windows Gallery and the crops and editing change the dpi logically proportionally. PSE11 drops the dpi rapidly with even a simple crop.

I recently converted from PC to Mac; downloaded and installed LR4, and it quickly recognized my photos and photo folder structure. Also, apparently each individual keyword has been imported. However, 3 problems:
1. no photos have keywords assigned to them
2. the keyword nested structure (keywords within other keywords) did not transfer, so they are all listed alphabetically
3. I don't see any history on the edited photos, so am not sure if I have originals (unedited) or edited. If I have edited photos, can I go back and re-edit (non-destructive editing in LR)?

I am using LR5 on one computer but have all my photos and the Lightroom catalog folder & files on an external hard disk. When I run LR5 on a second computer using the same files on the EHD most things seem to be working fine, the 1:1 previews, user presets, etc. But there are a number of items in Preferences and View options that don't have the settings I made when using the other computer. I was under the impression all the LR5 settings and preferences were stored in the Lightroom folder and would therefore "transfer" to a second computer assuming I use the same LR catalog and Lightroom folder.
