AutoCad :: Script Using Design Center?

Aug 29, 2012

I have never written a script but I figure this task is a good place to start. We currently have almost 8,000 files that all use different dimension styles, leader styles, layers and layouts. (All before I got here) I have successfully used the design center to where we can open an old drawing then go through and add all of the new 'standard styles, layouts, and layers'

can I write a script that will add all of these at once. It is not that it is that terrible of a job to do, but like I said my thought is it will be a good way to learn more about scripts, and we have a lot of drawings this needs to happen with.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Favorites Not Working In Design Center

Jul 25, 2012

We have both 2012 and 2013 AutoCAD at work, and both versions are having the same problem.  When adding favorites in Design Center, it does not show up.  The shortcut is actually there if I browse using Windows Explorer, but it does not show up in Design Center.  I guess this is some issue where shortcuts do not show up, which is beyond me because that is how the Favorites system is supposed to work.

I should add, this is not an issue on some of our older machines running AutoCAD 2009.

AutoCad :: Adding Blocks To Design Center 2006

Feb 5, 2011

Can I take a block that is currently in my drawing and put it into a tool palette? I know how to move blocks from the Design Center to a Tool Palette but I don't know how to get my blocks into the Design Center.

Scenario: We use a number of different fasteners in our drawings but they aren't the fasteners that are currently in the Design Center under "fasteners". I am manually redrawing the same fasteners each time I start a new drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Inserting Table Styles From Design Center

I have a drawing with 3 table styles I've saved that I can usually insert into my drawings using design center when I need them. Normally all three come in fine, occasionally only two will come in. I have a drawing that I am trying to insert my table styles into and none of them are inserting! I don't know if there's a setting preventing this command or what.

AutoCAD LT :: Objects In Open Drawings Not Visible In Design Center

Dec 25, 2011

Since upgrading to AutoCAD LT 2011 I cannot use the Design Center for inheriting objects such as layers, blocks etc between drawings. I have a few different drawings open which are displayed in the tree view of the 'open drawings' tab in the Design Center. But the objects of the drawings are not displyed. No +-sign in front of the drawing name, no icons in the icon field, just a summary at thebottom saying '0-items'.

I have tried reinstalling AutoCAD.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center / Design Accelerator Doctor - ERROR

Sep 28, 2006

Everytime I try to place a #8 machine screw type II screw from the content center I get a Design Accelerator Doctor error saying: "Modeling: Failed to insert a part into assembly!".

But if I place a Type I machine screw it works fine. Also if I replace the Type I screw with the Type II (the one I have a problem with) it replaces it no problem. So basically if I want to place a #8 Type II screw I have to place a Type I and then replace it with the Type II..

AutoCAD Inventor :: Center Distance Error In Spur Gears Design Accelerator

I am creating a couple of spur gears using the "Center Distance" design guide. I have fixed each gear to a cylindrical face, but when I click on the "Calculate" button, there is an error saying that the center distance is incorrect.

I went back and edited my sketches so the center distance matched the one displayed in the design accelerator and attempted to calculate again, but the error persists. What am I not getting here?

AutoCAD LT :: 2010 Design Center Block Updates Kills Display Order In Drawing

Nov 15, 2012

Working in AutoCAD LT 2010.

Drawing format 2007 or 2010

bedit, OK if you regenall after

refedit, Ok if you regenall ofter

design Center - display order goes out the window. The inserted block is redefined but the rest of the drawing loses all its display order. sortents (127, 33, 51, etc) and displayorderctl does nothing, either before or after the block is redefined. hatches and blocks just jump to the front (display order shows as order of drawn not order as moved to) Regenall does nothing.

absolute nightmare with display order managed elevations (solid hatch, baconies, windows, multple buildings, all overlaying!!)
