AutoCad :: How To Convert Layer Color Properties On Multiple Drawings

Jul 22, 2013

I have 4500 OS mapping tiles which i need to convert the colors to one single color rather than the varied layer colors they have at present. Obviously doing this manually will take a long time.

AutoCad :: Plotting Layouts From Different Drawings With Overriding Layer Properties

Oct 2, 2013

Say I have 10 .dwg files. Each .dwg file has a printable layout, a load of geometry, and in particular, a layer called "Animals" with some geometry on it. During .dwg creating some of the CAD engineers turned off the "Animals" layer in MSPACE and saved the drawing.

I now want to come along as the reviewer and plot these 10 .dwg files all with the "Animals" layer turned on. Currently I'd have to go into every .dwg file and turn back on the "Animals" layer, and then plot.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Properties Vs Model Properties In Drawings?

Oct 25, 2010

I want to set up my drawings so that the title block displays properties from the model.  I want to set this up so there will be drawing properties to extract into Vault.  So I want to know what other Inventor and Vault users are doing to get model properties into Inventor drawings:  Using model properties in the title block and nothing to extract in Vault or Copy model properties so Vault has data to extract.

I want to know what the best in class practice is?  What are others doing?  I do not want to use iLogic I was out of the box Inventor functionality.

I've seen it's possible to match a property from one drawing into other using the same command. It's necessary to set something else?

AutoCad 2D :: Matching Image Colour Properties

Nov 11, 2012

I'm using CAD 2009. I've inserted a Bitmap image (a company logo) and I want to insert text with the same colour as the logo.

Can I sample the colour in the logo and apply it to the text? NB - I really don't want to go through all the colour options in CAD to find the nearest match.

I want to do something like the Microsoft Paint 'Pick Color' option.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Matching Properties - Selection Is Backward

Apr 19, 2012

My main issue with 2010 is with Match Properties.  When I start the command, I am used to selecting the source object and then selecting those to be changed.  With 2010, the command prompt is asking that I select all objects to be changed and THEN select the source.

I love AutoCAD 2008.  As soon as I started using 2009, then 10, and 2012, I realized that the Autodesk engineers are attempting to 'improve' the program but not for those who have been using cad for 10-15 yrs, but rather for those who are new to it.  It stinks!!  I don't want CAD to be so 'user-friendly' that it clogs the system, adds a bunch of nuances that we don't want, and makes things more cumbersome!

I'm trying to make a LISP routine that will match point style, label style, marker rotation, label rotation and layer for a selected point to multiple other points. I don't know what the exact variable names are or how to find them.

See the post below for code that is similar too what I'm looking for.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Matching Title Block In Part Drawings To Assembly Drawing?

Dec 5, 2013

I do a lot of work where I start with a full assembly drawing, then make more drawings for the individual parts. Is there a way to link the title block parameters in the part drawings to the title block in the full assembly drawing? The only way I found was to link the parts together and then grab the info for the drawings off of the parts, but if I'm implementing this in a template used by others I want them to still be able to just fill in the blank on the assembly drawing to make it work.

I was able to get iProperties to show parameter buttons, but I haven't seen any way to link to other files or anything like that.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Properties In Drawings

Dec 30, 2011

In Solidworks they had something called custom properties that were generally setup in the models where you had the property names and then values would be filled in to automatically populate drawing titleblocks.  I found this, but I can't get the drawing description to keep changes and update the drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Getting Point And Surface Properties From Copied Drawings

May 10, 2012

I'm currently working on a site layout and came across a problem. The drawing that I have has the site layout with all the points and contour lines included. However, the drawing is exploded. Now, I want to get the point properties and surface properties from this file, but it seems like it isn't the original file and it has been edited. This file also does not come with a point file or surface file. Is there a method to get the point, surface or elevation properties from this drawing? 

Also, I have heard that you can create a new drawing and create a surface to read the surface properties of the drawing. Is that possible?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Modify Properties On Multiple Drawings

Nov 6, 2012

Any lisp routine on how to change "Drawing Properties" (fields via Mtext) on multiple single drawing files?

There are several instances where we would need to take a project to create another one and simply change the title block description.

As of now, we are opening each drawing (there could be hundreds) and modifiying the drawing properties on each drawing to change the customer name and other project descriptions.

These are not attributes, but fields. I've researched alot on here and couldnt find anything.

The drawing is attached.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Connecting Properties From Multiple Drawings To A Table

May 11, 2013

What I'm interested in is finding a method of connecting several properties from several Autocad drawings to a single table. I would create several custom properties in each drawing and use some of them to fill the boxes in the drawing itself (already implemented) and some of them to fill the table which could later be printed or used in some other manner (maybe even combined with an ERP software interface). Some of the properties would be used both in the drawing and in the table. What I would really like to achieve is to be able to change the property values in the drawings by changing the values in the table and vice versa.

I know how to do it for one of the drawings but I don't know if it's possible to connect several? It doesn't have to be custom properties, it can also be a table in each of the drawing if it's easier to connect with a central table that way. I suppose the best way to gather all the drawings in one place would be to use Sheet Set Manager. A bit of a problem with the sheet set manager is that we have 5 layers set up for each of the drawings and I would like to import only one of them into the sheet set. The thing is picking them by hand would take time and that's the thing I wanted to avoid in the first place. Is there maybe an option to use only import the last active layer into the sheet set?

Paint.NET :: Matching Top Layer To Bottom One

Jul 13, 2013

I have a photo of two guys as the background, and two more layers on top to put a ZZ Top beard on each of them.  I cut out the beard from a Billy Gibbons photo, and trimmed it up as good as I can.  In the Billy picture he is wearing a black shirt, so behind the reddish beard are traces of black.
 
The issue:The first guy in the background is also wearing a black shirt, so the beard blends perfectly on him.  However, the second guy is wearing a turquoise shirt, and as a result, the beard does not blend well whatsoever, and the edges are terrible.  I need a method to color change (or whatever) so that the black traces on the beard become turquoise traces, and thus blend with his shirt. 
 
I don't want to solve this with some kind of feathering or blur, because I want the edges of the red beard to be sharp, like they look on the first guy.  I think I need to solve this with a color changing technique, but now sure how to do it in Paint.net.
 
Although I'm relatively new with Paint.net, years ago I became quite proficient with PaintShop Pro doing web applications.  As I recall, there was a function of the color changer there, which would not only change from Color 1 to Color 2, but would preserve the differences in the color shades.  So far example, if you set the color changer to change a blue shade to a red shade, and set the tolerance up some, not only would it include several blue shades from the source, but it produce various shades of red in the destination.  So the result was not just a solid spot of red, but rather a nicely shaded red,
 
I have looked at the Paint.net color changer, and although I see how the tolerance level can dictate various shades of input to include, it seems to map all of those included pixels to just plain red, one exact color.  I'm thinking surely it will do what I want, but for the life of me, I can't find it in the tool or in my searches.

Photoshop :: Matching Colour In An Adjustment Layer

I'm using a feature photo in an article and I want to match parts of the image to the two main colours in my destination image. Usually I would add a colour adjustment layer and trial/error my way there using my eye to guide the sliders, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to go about this. Something tells me the eye-dropper should be playing a part,

Photoshop :: Edit Shape Layer Properties After It Has Been Placed In A Layer?

Mar 20, 2013

When I create a shape in Photoshop CS6, it brings up a nice panel of options - allowing me to change radius, stroke style, colour etc. However, once this shape has been placed in the Photoshop document, I am not able to edit it, without creating a new shape.

I cannot change any of the options. Sure, I can select it and change the size - but how would I change the shape stroke colour and style, as well as the radius of the curves?Is there an option or panel which I need to activate to get back to this menu for the current shape?

Here the shape options are visibleHowever, once I click off the shape - they dissapear and I can no longer get them back.
 
How would I get the shape options back for this shape, without creating a new layer and shape?As with the way it is now, I have to get things like the stroke colour and radius right the first time - and I like to experiment with my options.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Layer Properties Manager

Feb 14, 2013

Run into an issue in AutoCAD Map 3D 2012 when multiple raster images (in this case 66 ortho images) are attached as data connections, you cannot see New Layers when you create them in the default Layer Properties Manager?

I have found using the Classic Layer Properties Manager is a work around.

It doesn’t seem to matter if the ortho images are connected individually or grouped as a single layer.

I'm running Map 3D with SP2 applied.

i have recently upgraded from 08' LT to 12'LT and i have an intermittent issue with the Layer properties box.sometimes when i open the layers list and want to change layer name, color, linetype etc it will discard all changes when i close the box and the command line will show something like this 

Command: _layer
Command:
Unknown command "-LAYER". Press F1 for help.

the Layer box opens and works as normal but makes no changes to the drawing.if i reopen the layer prop box it will then work, it seems to be completely at random whether it works or not.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create New Layer - Properties?

Feb 26, 2013

When I create a new layer and in the same process change the color and linetype it looks like it takes in the layer dialogs box but when you use the layer the properties do not take.  I have to re-initiate the layer command and then the layer properties are not what I set them to.  Once I re set them at this stage it holds the layer. I've attached 3 images.

1. Showing two lines and layer dialogs box on two new layers (objects look the same)
2. Showing dialogs box after reinitializing layer command (objects still the same)
3. Showing dialogs box and lines after changing layer properties (now objects are holding set properties.

AutoCad :: Layer Properties Not Updating Properly

We have changed the color, line weight and description of specific layers. We used to use Layer state to update the layers, now we use the design center.

Changes made in Example 1. Example 2 has the wrong layers - so Design center is open, layers from Example 1 are dragged and dropped into Example 2.

Layers still wrong.

This is the Example 1.
