AutoCad :: RTEXT Displays As Proxy Entity?
May 29, 2012
Our office has upgraded to new Windows 7 computers with AutoCAD 2013.
For the last (3) years, we have had an RTEXT in our titleblock file that shows the path, file name, date, and time. This RTEXT thingy was originally copied from a consultants file to ours. The titleblock file is x-reffed to the other sheet files, and has been working fine in all files until the upgrade.
Now, when we open a file, the only thing that is shown for the RTEXT is the bounding box. This happens on all of our computers. The express tools are installed. If I type RTEXT > [enter], it displays correctly and will work fine ... until the CAD is shut down. If it is re-opened, once again, just the bounding box.
Typing the command every time I open the file is a nuisance for me, and is something that others in the office would never get used to doing.

I have ACA2011. I received a Topo from someone an it's grade lines are Proxy Entities. I need to snap to one and can't. Is there a way to snap to these? I just want to move the topo to the right Z height, but need to snap to at least one grade line to do so.

I would like to add additional entities to the selection if any of the selected entities contains a an xdata value.
If I put the condition into the ImpliedSelectionChanged reactor I imagine will probably loop back on itself.

AMD 960T on six cores
Asus M5A78L M LX +
8 GB
HD 3000 integrated graphics
OS is installed on a 128 MB SSD
Project target file is on a 500GB WD Blue.
I have ripped a Blue Ray DVD as an .m2t, at an average bit rate of about 18.5 Mb/sec, with a resulting file size of over 16GB. Needles to say this file bogs the machine when not running the proxy. When I finish a session and close the program, the proxy file is gone the next time I open the project. The same thing happens when the machine goes to sleep with the project open. I have to either slog through working directly on the project without the proxy while it slowly rebuilds, or wait a couple of hours for the rebuild to complete.
Any way to stop the file from being deleted? I went to power options and selected never, but the next day it was gone again.
Another thing would be to increase the speed of the proxy creation, as it only uses about 20% of the CPU. Better to get it done faster... I have tried raising the priority of the process to high with little if any change.

I know I can use the expresion "$(getvar,ctab)" to reference the current layout tab name but is there a way to reference say the layout in previous or next tab in reference to the current tab. I am doing some plan and profile drawings which contain match lines I would like to have the match line text automated. For example if I'm on layout called PP02 there would be two match lines in the drawing one would read MATCH LINE PP01 and the other would read MATCH LINE PP03 I would like to automate this so the PP01 of PP02 is referencing the previous or next tab.

We use an in-house plotstamp (not the acad plotstamp) which uses rtext to show the file path and name. It works fine under all circumstances EXCEPT when we plot using the Publish command. The output from Publish shows the file path as the C:Documents and Settings... where the acad2005 software is installed instead of the correct network drive path where the dwg files are located.
Is there a secret setting somewhere that will keep Publish from changing the rtext? If we switch from rtext to fields, would that eliminate the problem?

Why is the Rtext link in the title block not working for my team members in canada? They are using the same TB as us but for some reason the plot/date stamp shows like the attached pictures

I received a drawing from an outside contractor that uses something with proxy entities. I can see them just fine on the screen but when I try to plot the drawing they disappear. It also came from a newer version so I had to use the DWG True View to convert it if that may have caused my issue.

When i start up AutoCAD C3D 12, this dialog box is pop up " This drawing was created with a newer version of Civil 3D. All entities created by Civil 3D within the drawing are in a proxy state..............are disabled for this drawing." I just started an AutoCAD, Not open any drawing yet!
How do i turn this message off? (permanently)
P.S. It just happened recently since the IT guy changed some variables on my machine, but no clue what variables he changed?

I am working with AutoCAD 2012 LT and initially received a message concerning proxy graphics that listed a number of options for viewing when opening a drawing from another source (that was from another and another, etc). At that time, I believe I chose show proxy graphics, however, I can no longer get that original message to appear, which I think told me which enablers were missing. I now get a message regarding the drawing to be compatible by exploding AEC objects or loading proxy objects enabler. I am stuck, walls have text in them, doors are shown closed.
- I have tried opening the original file again, but no longer receive the original proxy graphics message, just the New version of objects in drawing message. Can I ever get the original message back, have I somehow changed my settings?
-If I change the settings for proxyshow or proxygraphics, these items will disappear.
-How do I know which enabler to use?

I’ve already tried to purge and audit the file and delete every object that I can find that may be a proxy but it still shows up every time I open the file
Is there any way for me to QSELECT or remove the object that is causing me problems
I do have the enablers on so I can see the object problem is there so many objects I don’t know where to start looking.

I recently received an autocad drawing with a number proxy entities in it. They exploded ok. However by exploding them am I losing any properties that may be useful. And what really are proxy entities?

Most individual want to remove the Proxy Information Dialog Box. I already understand how to turn this off PROXYSHOW/PROXYNOTICE/PROXYGRAPHICS. What I'd like to know is where the data that is displayed in the Proxy Information Dialog Box comes from? Is there a way to get this information after the fact (as in, after I've closed the dialog box, but while the current drawing is open)?

Most of the drawings I work in have proxy graphics. Is there a way to set the default to "Show Proxy Graphics" so I don't have the Proxy Information box come up every time I open a drawing?

I am doing a routine to break a polyline in different points.
I do this by prompt with SendCommand.
string strHandle1 = id.Handle.ToString(); string strEntName1 = "(handent "" + strHandle1 + "")"; string strCommand = "_BREAK" + "
" + strEntName1 + "
" + String_point + "
" + String_point + "
"; Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute(strCommand, true, false, true);
However, I need the new Id of polyline to continue break in other point.
I have tried this:
ObjectId idNewEntity = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.EntLast();
to get the last entity created, but with "break" doesn´t consider new entity created. Then, How can I get the new Id after "break"?

We just moved the Autocad LT installation for one of our users to a new computer and now when opening certain documents, we get the below error. The error didn't originally occur on the old machine, but after re-installing it on that machine, we get it there too. Is there a way to clear the error or find out which plugin we are missing? We have tried installing the plugins on the autodesk website, but weren't able to fix the error.
System information:
Autocad LT 2011
New machine OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)
Old machine OS: Windows XP (32-bit)
Error message:
Proxy Information
The drawing you have opened or referenced contains custom object created by an unavailable ObjcectARX application. You do not need the original application to display proxy representations of objects that were saved in the drawing. However, many manufacturers, including Autodesk, provide object enablers that also allow you to edit these custom objects.
Visit the AutoCad LT Object Enabler Assistant web page to locate Autodesk object enablers or contact the software publisher about object enablers for other applications.
Note: If your computer has internet access, verify that Check Web for Live Enablers is selected in the Options dialog box on the System tab to have AutoCAD LT automatically search for the Live Enabler website for the appropriate object enabler.
Missing Application: CAPxCAPDesignerDBX
Total number of Proxies: 230
Number of objects (no graphics): 230
Number of entities with no graphics: 0
Number of entities with bounding box graphics:0
Number of entities with real graphics metafile:0

I need to export points from 3D map as a .shp file so I can bring them into Maya and have them line up exactly where they need to be based on their coordinates. The points line up pretty close to right in map 3d, and they have a style assigned to them. When I go to the Map --> Tools --> Export, I choose .shp as the file output, and go through and select the layer I need to export. When I've got everything set up, I get an error message saying "no entity to export." I have searched on the internet for this error but not a lot comes up. I'm not sure what I'm missing in order to make the points export.

I'm working on mating two assemblies together by work points on a part inside of them. Here is the code I'm using. It worked with work planes, but when repurposed it to work points, I get a type mismatch when the code tries to generate the work point proxies:
Dim oPartPoint1 As WorkPoint oPartPoint1 = oOcc1.Definition.WorkPoints.Item("botMatePoint") Dim oPartPoint2 As WorkPoint oPartPoint2 = oOcc2.Definition.WorkPoints.Item("matePoint") Dim oAsmPoint1 As WorkPointProxy oOcc1.CreateGeometryProxy(oPartPoint1, oAsmPoint1) Dim oAsmPoint2 As WorkPointProxy oOcc2.CreateGeometryProxy(oPartPoint2, oAsmPoint2)

why, when I try to hatch something, I get a message saying "Proxy metafile contains bounding box. Not exploded". Nothing happens until I escape, and then I'm back to where I started with nothing hatched. I have other drawings xreferenced into mine, but I am not using them as the hatch boundaries.

I created an Assembly-Constraint between two Work planes by creating a Geometry Proxy
CreateGeometryProxy(OriginWorkplane, TargetWorkPlanProxy)
Now, I want to look into the assembly Constraints and want to get the origin Work plane of the component. So, I now, it's the entity One of a specific Constraint I also now.
What I get is a Face Proxy (the EntityOne gives back a FaceProxy). But how can I get the Workplane, the Proxy Element once was created?
I can get the Surface Body the Work plane was created on, but I don't get the name of the Workplane. My target is, to get the name of the work plane.

I have several hundred drawings that I needed to update the Title Block on. I used Toolpac to Redefine the blocks, then Scriptpro to run a simple script to ATTSYNC the blocks. This was all done in AutoCAD Map 3D 2012. Now, when my users open the drawings with AutoCAD LT 2012, they get a proxy graphics warning. I opened a drawing in AutoCAD 2012 as well and the proxy warning came up there too so I know it's not just LT. I assume it has to do with AutoCAD Map, however when I've run the same sort of processes (updating title block) from the command line in Map 3D, the proxy graphics aren't introduced.
I am unsure how to determine what proxy graphic was introduced. I've tried a lsp to delete the proxy but it says none was found.

We have a proxy server on the network which only allows certain websites to be accessed. Recently I have found with CAD 2013 that a lot of the content inside the application actually depends on the user having internet access. Is there a list of addresses you can send me which I can unblock on our firewall?

I have a question regarding object overrule.
Simple example, when overrule Line entity to draw three entities Line, Text, Circle when selecting overruled Line is it possible to identify what object have been selected (in this example it could be Line, Text, Circle).
