AutoCAD LT :: Updating Drawing Template

Feb 25, 2013

I seem to recall there is a method of substituting old drawing templates with the latest version on open drawings, but for the life of me can neither remember what the command is or enter anything into the ACAD Help search that results in anything remotely useful .

AutoCad :: Updating Multiple Template Attributes

Nov 7, 2011

The only stipulation is my company uses AutoCAD 2012 LT. I am not familiar with Lisp/VBA programming codes but I have done an "appload" before, but that does not work with LT versions.

Question:
How do I update multiple template blocks based off of the first template? Currently we have been using one primary drawing sheet and are now going to be implementing a detail sheet.

AutoCAD LT :: Updating Drawings - Dimensions Changing

Jul 19, 2012

I am currently updating company drawings from one template to another. I am using the copy and paste method. What I am noticing is that when I copy the part and the dimension from the original drawing ( all in 3 place dimensioning) to the new template Autocad is changing the dimensions to 4 place dimensions. First question is why is this happening and second question is can it be stopped?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assemblies And Drawings Not Updating

Jan 9, 2013

My issue is that whenever I edit a sub-assembly or a part within an assembly, whether it's from within the assembly by right clicking and choosing "edit" or by opening the sub-assembly/part and editing it separately, once I return to the top assembly, it does not update constraints to reflect the changes. Say I constrain the top of a part to be flush with something in the assembly. Then I edit the part and make it shorter. Once I return to the assembly, the part has shortened but it is no longer flush as it was meant to be. It is lower with respect to the plane it should be flush to. If I double-click the "flush" constraint and then click the check mark, it's like it reminds Inventor the constraint is there and the part hops up where it should be.

Is there any way I can click an "update" button or something so Inventor automatically checks for part changes and re-constrains everything after I make changes to sub-assemblies or parts? I found a "Refresh" button and added it to my Quick Access Toolbar, but it does absolutely nothing.

I often have the same issue with sheets in my .idw files; they do not update once I edit a .ipn or another view in the sheet. Is there a similar solution for this instance as well?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Updating A Template / Push Them From Current Drawing To Another On?

Jul 27, 2012

I know you can "pull" styles from a drawing (maybe the template) into your current drawing.

Is there a way to "push" them from the current drawing to another on?

Here is what I am picturing:

Right click on a style on the settings tab and choose "Send to Template" 

"Template" would either be a predefined DWT file or it would open a standard file selection dialog to select one.....and this would copy the selected style into the template.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Note Not Updating In Drawings

Sep 27, 2012

I create a hole feature in part and use Hole and Thread function in drawing view. All info displayed correctly, but if the model changes - note does not! the only way to get the new thread/hole designation is by using the Hole and Thread function again.

see print screen attached - I kept changing the model and using Hole and Thread tool couple of times. They all point to the same hole but look at the results..

Reboot does not work...

AutoCad :: Layout Tabs Not Updating When Opening Additional Drawings

Apr 12, 2013

For the past 2 days when I switch from one drawing to another, my layout tabs are not updating and stay the same as the previous drawings. I have to do a regen to get the proper tabs in place. All the layouts are there...it is just the tabs that are messed up. Once I click on one of the tabs they straighten themselves out as well, but on that first selection I never get the correct drawing that I want!

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Modify Part Without Updating Linked Parts / Assemblies / Drawings

Nov 12, 2012

I have several parts which I wish to modify, but, those modifications are only being done to get some prototypes made. I do not want the changed (non-approved part) to be used in current issue drawings, assemblies etc. until I have proven the modifications and am happy with them.

I can do this by doing a save as on the part and could just replace the previous design, but then I lose the history of changes/revisions shown in Vault which is critical to me and part of using vault in the first place.

AutoCAD .NET :: Title Bar Not Updating

Nov 16, 2012

Then, I wrote a loop to save automatically a list of documents with the Save As method (Database.SaveAs). The code is the following:

doc.Database.SaveAs(path, True, DwgVersion.Current, doc.Database.SecurityParameters).

While the documents are correctly saved with the correct new name (e.g. Map1.dwg, Map2.dwg, etc.)  in the correct location, the doc.Name properties are not updated, the title bar of autocad also. They still remains Drawing1.dwg, Drawing2.dwg, etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Colours Are Not Updating In IDW?

Mar 28, 2013

I have just installed IV 2013 Pro  and I am having some issues with changes in the IPN transferring to the IDW. I changed the colour of a part in an assembly which transferred fine to the IPN, but the IDW did not update. I have tried turing off the visibility of the part in the browser in the IDW, then turning it on again, selecting the associative icon  in the drawing view dialogue box, but still the view will not update. I even tried re-inserting the IPN in the IDW, still the colour had not updated. This is unacceptable. I do not have time to re-create all the IPN's.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: References Not Updating

Aug 15, 2013

I have a recurring problem that I can't seem to figure out.  I have my existing grade TIN surface as a data shortcut into my roadway design file, but it sometimes will not update when opening the drawing.  The surface profile will not display until the surface is manually synced.  Any labels that are associated with that surface (or other object) will just display the ??? because it can't seem to connect to the data.  After a manual sync it seems to come back.

AutoCad 2D :: Annotative Block Not Updating?

Feb 6, 2013

I have created an annotative block. This block is displayed in a few different viewports at different scales. After I create the block I go and check the viewports and it is displaying well. The linework (polylines and a circle) is annotative as is the text in the block.

However, if I then change the scale/annotative scale of a viewport, the block doesn't seem to update properly. The text within the block updates to the new size although the linework within the block doesn't seem to scale and resets back to the model space size.

I've tried regenning etc with no luck. Is there a command I need to use after changing a viewport scale to force annotative blocks to update?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surfaces Are Not Updating

Feb 5, 2013

I am having a problem with my data shortcuts for my surfaces not updating. I have 2 surfaces (one ex and one prop) both are on auto-rebuild.  Both of them are in separate files and data short cutted into my profiles files (I have one for water, one sewer and a third for storm drains). Any time I make a change whether I add or subtract data the file the data does not update in the profiles. As a work around I have been creating a new data short cut and adding it to my profiles files. What am I doing wrong that would make them not update?

AutoCad :: Updating Text From Tables?

Oct 22, 2012

Long ago, everything was done in Imperial and now we are converting to Metric, the issue is that the drawings we have no schedule of members and we (a colleague and I) are constantly discovering new members, this is causing no end of trouble with our numbering system.

What we would like to do is set up a master-table with 5 categories (UB, UC, PFC, EA and UA) and then have the labels for all the members dependent on this table. If we were to change the value in the table, the label would automatically update. Is this at all possible? I looked into the Xref and RText commands and they seem close but not quite there. Ideally the table would be in a separate dwg so we can work on drawings at the same time.

AutoCad :: Updating Blocks From CtrlV

Oct 17, 2013

how to update a block already present in a drawing with a block pasted from another drawing.

I cannot use insert block with a file named the same as the block in the current drawing because the pasted block (of the same name) contains a visibility parameter that if I explode before inserting loses the parameters.

If I insert the same named block within a same named file to the current drawing the drawing holds onto the original block because it is within a block.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Blocks Not Updating In Palette

Mar 26, 2013

I have inherited the task of maintining out companies tool palette for all standard blocks.  In my efforts I have found a number is issues with the blocks and have made efforts to update the blocks, first using bedit and then by navigating to the palette directory folder where the .dwg files for the blocks are stored.  Regardless of these files being changed the palette still inserts the block revision prior to my changes.  I have even re-imported the template file to no avail.

Is there a way to have to palette reference the updated files or is there a better way to update these blocks so the palette recognizes the changes immediately?

AutoCAD Inventor :: New PDF File After Updating Drawing Possible?

Aug 16, 2012

I have a drawing of a part that I want to change the dimensions many times.

When I edit the length and width in the part, the drawing updates automatically.

But is it possible to update the pdf file (of drawing) automatically after editing the dimensions in part?

 Or do I have to update (save as to pdf) everytime I create a new dimensions?

AutoCAD LT :: Auto Updating Dimensions In Viewports

Aug 13, 2012

recently switched over to AutoCAD 2013 from 2012. A time svae feature I used extensively in 2012 was the auto update feature for dimensions. My workflow is to set up a base plan then xRef that plan to my various sheets where needed in viewport in paperspace. If I set my DIMASSOOC to (2) and then dimension in paperspace I was able to auto update the dimensions with any changes by simply double clicking in the viewport window then switching back to paperspace. I have spent some time researching this feature today without any answers. Would this be just a bug in the new version or is it a feature that has been disabled?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Door Tags Not Updating

Jul 4, 2012

I made a door tag, tagged all 128 doors and during a check set noticed that the text in the tag is the wrong font. I opened the tag and changed the font, saved and regenerated the drawing. The font in the current door tags did not change. To be sure I changed the correct tag I added a new tag and the font is correct. Why do the current tags not update? Do I need to do something? I do not want to go back and redo all 128 door tags.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Updating An Existing Table

Mar 24, 2012

I'm attempting to create a table within autocad that I can update as I add new things to my drawing. 

I have a ton of dblocks that carry attributes with them, and I want to be able to have the table in autocad populate with the information from each insertion. 

The table in autocad will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that should also be updated (either as a separate action or automatically... not sure what would be better). 

The table in excel will go through a system of formula that will divide it up into useable groups for me. How do I update a table within Autocad, instead of having to create a new table every time I want to add data to the extraction information?

AutoCAD .NET :: Updating Drawing / Database After Modifying It

Jun 30, 2012

I have written a command that replaces the given annotative scale of all objects in a drawing, with another annotative scale. Works great, except I can't remove the replaced annotative scale (with SCALELISTEDIT - DELETE button), unless I save the drawing and then open it again.

An annotative scale that is in use, can't be deleted. But since I can delete it after reopening the drawing, I am sure it is not in use anymore.

Is there a way to "refresh" the drawing/database, without reopening it?
