On my big plots IE with loads of hatching etc I check the option to send job as BMP which as you will know saves on the memory for the plotter. My question is, can I set this up to be permanently on for every plot? I'm simply trying to save myself time when I have to check that option. instances where I forget to check it and sit for 10 minutes waiting for the plotter to fire up
View 0 RepliesI have the following command in my VBA routine:
ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt vbCrLf & "ABCDEF"
When I run my VBA routine from the VBA editor, the command appears in the text window of AutoCAD the way it should, but when I run the routine with the VBAload - VBArun commands (automated on a toolbar button), it does not. Do I need to obtain the AutoCAD object and issue commands that way instead of using the thisdrawing.utility method?
im trying to send a dwg file with pictures which but the pictures dont show up. i created a zip file using the etransmit option and the pictures show up in the file but you can not see the actual picture on the dwg file, only its path. is there a way i can send the file that the picture shows up on the dwg?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently using AutoCAD LT 2009 on my home computer. My client also has the same AutoCAD at a different geographic location. When I generate a drawing file at home and send it to my client’s computer via email the drawing appearance changes. It appears as though the .dwg file is corrupt in some manner. My dimensions are not in order the font has changed in scale and in type. Most of the text is just inadvertently scattered about.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work in a MEP engineering office. Any good method for sharing their architectural drawings (when the architect is using Project Navigator)? We do not use project navigator, and we do not want stripped-down architectural files.
What we need from the architects is their bases, title block, and their floor plan sheet layouts. Asking for this from some architects is fine, but others send me mounds of files, and I have to dig through and sort for what I want.
I recently started using the _VIEWBASE command for creating drawing layouts. It's the first time in 15 years that Autodesk has *seriously* addressed creating drawing layouts from solid models, which is pretty cool so far.
Anyway.. what about generating profiles for production? For example I have an assembly of 100 items. I need to have most of them laser cut and need to send that dxf profile to the laser table. I tried _boundary, _copyface but that does not work with a 'drawing view' object. It also can not be exploded. The only thing that seems possible is tracing the object with a polyline (but that sucks).
I'm trying to avoid using viewports because that means every item needs it's own layer. I'm also trying to avoid littering model space with SOLPROF or FLATSHOT profiles.
I have a gradient hatch that using draw order i have sent to back and also tried to send behind other objects. I have tried using HPDRAWORDER (not quite sure what it does) but used values 0,1,2,3,4. the problem is when i plot the hatch, it comes to the front and i loose any lines going through the hatch. i have also used the send to back command while inserting the gradient hatch.Nothing Works.
How do i plot with the gradient hatch behind other objects?
I created an assembly on my computer and some of the parts used are standard parts from the content centre. Now I need to send that assembly as an email. I sent all the associated parts and files but the receiver still can't open the assembly correctly due to the parts from the content centre.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have drawings which are occasionally transmitted to vendors, building officials and other parties. These drawings contain XREFs for the floor plans, roof plans, site plans, etc. Some of these XREFs contain layers with sensitive information the client does not want distributed to third parties.
If I'm just sending a PDF or plotting locally the sensitive layers are turned off or frozen and the PDF is plotted without layers. This is sufficient to protect the sensitive data. But if the third party requests a CAD file then I have a problem.
If I use Send to create a package of dependent files including XREFs they are included whole with all of the sensitive data on frozen layers.
If I Bind the XREF to a copy of the drawing for distribution the sensitive layers are still included as frozen layers.
In either case I am confronted with the task of deleting a large number of layers and we all know what a chore deleting layers with content can be. There has to be a solution to this problem, either an easier way to delete layers or a way to filter them in the binding process. Currently I am removing the XREF and making a block of the essential layers each time I have to make a distribution but these are large and complex drawings making this a chore as well.
Arguably this would be much simpler if AutoCAD had a better method for removing layers such as offering to a. move all contents to layer 0, b. delete all layer contents or c. cancel instead of just telling me I can't delete the layer because there are contents like we're still using R12.

Having trouble with sending drawings out in dwg format with photographs on, ok with pdf's. Ihave tried different methods, copied and pasted photos, (made sure they are small file size). I have tried to attach image in x-ref manager, is there a way to bind the photos into the drawing?
I have sent drawing out but lost images, also i sent drawing out zipped up with folder with photos. Using relative path, i still cant get it to work. What is correct method to insert images into a drawing so they are bound in? is there a way.
I have only tested this on 2009, since I dont have VS 2010 yet to test on 2012.
I was trying to make a function to show the acad color selection dialog, so the incoming argument would be a list of 3 intergers for RGB.
But .net is not taking it. It will take a list of any other integers, but when I send in 3, it shows the resultbuffer as null.
Here is the code to test:
[LispFunction("TestRB")]public static ResultBuffer ShowAcColorDialog(ResultBuffer args) { MessageBox.Show("wow");}
The body is empty, because we are just testing to see what args is during debug.
If you call it with (TestRB (list 1 2)) in acad, the args shows typical items.
If you call it with (TestRB (list 1 2 3)) in acad, the args shows null.

Sometimes i get this error, when i send a new network job..3ds max Job Assignment Dialog
Error submitting job to manager.251 0 No group to list...Then i try to send it again and it works.
how to get these two to work together? The support specifically mentions CS3 working with it and even mentions that CS3 will use ACR 4.6. When I tell LR4 to open a RAW file produced by my Canon XSi in Photoshop, I get a message that "this version of LR may require camera raw 7.0 for full compatibility". Then I can choose "render using lightroom", "open anyway", or "cancel". If I choose "open anyway" it opens up Photoshop but nothing else happens.
Eventually after a few minutes LR4 starts telling me it couldn't open Photoshop (even though it "magically" opened it a few minutes earlier) and when I click off that error, it comes up again, then a new error saying it couldn't send the file to Photoshop. After clicking away that message it then proceeds to make a copy of the file as a .psd (which I did set up in the LR4 preferences for external editor) and it opens up.
In the Library module or Develop module, select the photo you want to edit. Then, choose Photo > Edit In Adobe Photoshop.If you’re opening a camera raw or DNG file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) or later, it opens directly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a few glitches with my system which I resolved but a casualty has been Corel Draw X5 which has always run perfectly well but I guess.I have tweaked something in fixing the other problem and now it will not run.
If I click the icon within Program Files nothing happens. If I double-click a .cdr file which should be opened in Corel I get the error message "there was a problem sending the command to the program". I've un- and re-installed several times, even gone through the registry and removed all references. There is no appdata for the program, each time I reinstall it's a clean install, so what am I missing?
At install stage, I get asked for my serial number, which I enter, then the install continues. I never get as far as the activation stage as the program never starts. I don't think it's a Corel issue anyway, so much as a Windows 7 issue.
I've made a cool action which includes resizing for web and lab sharpening. Is there a way to save this action and send it to a friend so he can install it in his actions?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I send photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop (CS6), make changes and return to Lightroom, I will see a new frame with the changes I have just made. However, I notice that I lose my original enhancement settings from Lightroom. In other words, the enhancements on the photo are still there, but the sliders from the right hand tool bar have all been reset. Basically all the changes have been 'baked in' to the photo, so I can no longer make modify/delete the enhancements I originally made. This is particularly important when working with brushes.
Is there anything I can do to preserve these modifiers as I go back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop?

I want to send several graphics to someone by PDF. I think I can do it with Corel Draw, but I want to send a number of JPEG or Tiff graphics all in one PDF file via ONE e-mail.
I think I can do it with graphics in CDR format, BUT, I can't find any instructions on how to do it with any kind of RASTER graphic!
Unfortunately, the people I want to sent them to can only receive stuff in JPEG or Tiff, but NOT in Corel Photo-Paint. I know I can send the graphics one at a time, but that's a bit tedious!
Having an issue with Xara Pro 4 and AccuRIP (Epson1430). Not sure if it's Xara, The printer or AccuRIP issue.
THE ISSUE - when sending multiple pages to the printer, where the pages are spooled, the output will have vertical rasterized streaks of zaggies throughout the output.
THE SOLUTION - send 1 page at a time, wait for it to print, then send next page. FYI Corel has a similar issue when sending several spot pages at the same time.
Using AccuRIP for printing halftones and vectors?
