I downloaded a titleblock to look at and one of his layers for the lines that made up the bounderies of the titleblock, was placed on the "XID" layer. It was interesting to see that the lines had the properties of Polyline, although to my eyes it looked like a line segment.
what XID stands for in this case?
When i use AutoCad 2010, that is on a wind 7 OS, appear a message that indicate the next.
A software problem has caused autocad to close unexpectedly.
In Autocad 2014 when I use the zoom or pan command transparently some information disappears (hatch) and only reappears when I finish the command. This did not happen with version 2009.

It can be part of a line/block/text.
It shows only on the screen and not on paper in case I print it.
I run ACAD LT 2010 on a Windows XP machine and also a Vista Laptop. I have tried to print the same drawing on both machines using the DWG to PDF facility with in AutoCAD. The drawing is a third party drawing in as much as I didn't draw it although it is an authentic ACAD DWG.
I get the same message but referring to different fonts - the message reads on the Vista machine:
"Cannot find or create the font "ArialMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
On the Windows XP machine it reads:
"Cannot find or create the font "Tahoma". Some characters may not display or print correctly"
The message seems to be generated by Adobe Reader.
My computer has 8 GB of RAM. However my autocad is not faster than a computer with 2 GB of RAM. I have Windows 7. Is there a way I can allocate more RAM to Autocad to make it run faster?

I've been attempting to use the GEOMAP command to bring satellite imagery into one of my maps. I have followed theses steps:
1. Signed into my Autodesk360 account.

Following these steps, I am unable to display the aerial imagery.
I've created system printers for our office using the "Add Plotter" application of AC. I've filtered paper sizes for the different printers. However, these filtered paper sizes are not the same for all workstations.
E.g. If I filter out all paper sizes and only check ISO A0 and ISO A1, on some of the workstations there are other paper sizes available. How do I avoid this from happening?
How to make PDF's which were made out of DWG"s less vague?
Same lines can come out looking good or vague. Sometime part of blocks appear vague while the other side appear good.
Using 2013, I have a drawing created in that other software ( Micro station). I opened it in autocad, and did some work to it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a batch routine that plots PDF’s of a list of drawings. Everything is working ok. It opens the drawing, turns on and off layers, and then plots to PDF. The plots come out fine, but after each plot, it opens the PDF. This would not be a problem for one or two drawings, but when doing a few hundred, it becomes quite frustrating.
I can see how to change this using the plot dialogue box, selecting DWG To PDF.pc3 and editing the custom properties. But no matter how many times I change it does not save, and will open the PDF.
I have found a work around by killing the process Acrobat.exe at the end of the plot. But is there a better way of doing this?
we modeled prototypes of trains (locomotives) in 3dsMax, these models will be used to produce molds and thumbnails of these, you must give the producer STP files, max does not export these files, and we have exported in various formats supported by some programs if exported STP, eg Inventor, we have exported files are STL, oBJ and DWG, so far so good, all save the parts or layers without problem.
The problem comes when exporting from Inventor to STP, nothing happens, the STP file is as if you were empty, there is nothing ..
I have attached the DWG file, if possible, have 17 CAD models for export to STP.
I cannot seem to set the MdiActiveDocument synchronously.
I have code inside a <CommandMethod> that creates a drawing and then writes any error information to the command line. Since this is started in one document, if a fatal error occurs and the drawing does not get created, that message goes to the original document's command line.
In the case where a drawing gets created with errors (say partial success), I would like the errors to appear in the new drawing (new active document's) command line.
The behavior when setting Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument is peculiar. The application can hang for a long time if you do not click anything. If you click the document (from the taskbar or clicking on the window), it breaks out of the hang and continues to execute, but the active document is not changed. The MdiActiveDocument still points to the original document. You can also see that it does not change because doc.IsActive = False. This state could be because when you clicked, you really did make the original document active (again? still?). To break the hang, I think the click has to be on the original document.
On an example like [URL] ... there is no action taken after MdiActiveDocument is set, so I assume that it is actually set when the command is completed, not synchronously. I am not absolutely certain of this, though.
<CommandMethod("AUTODRAWPN")> _
Public Sub DrawPartNumber()
Dim ed As Editor = Core.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
If IsNothing(drwr) Then
[Code] .......
Is there a way to set the MDIActiveDocument? Should it be hanging like this? Should I be looking at an altogether different way to handle this?
Trying to use doc.Editor without setting the active causes a eNotApplicable error, so that is not a way out.
I am using AutoCAD 2013. The following link implies that this could be a 2013 specific problem, but I do not know that for sure. [URL] .....

Two viewports at different scales. The larger viewport (zoomed in) plots perfectly. The smaller viewport (zoomed out) only plots the CAD layer (green line), but does not plot the Shapefiles (green dots and gray lines). Shapefiles are on their own layer, that layer is turned on. These are the only three items in model space; the black text and arrows are in paper space on the layout tab and render correctly in the large viewport.
Is it a scale issue with the shapefiles in the small viewport or a plotting issue?
