AutoCad :: Automatically Open And Reassociate / Reattach All XREFs
Nov 11, 2013
I get 3rd party zip files from our consultants.
They contain the consultant's DWG, plus our office's initial plans in DWG, logos, fonts, etc.
I used to be able to simply Extract the zipped file and then open up the main DWG. Then the main DWG and all associated XREFs would open smoothly. Now, when I open the consultant DWG, none of the XRefs are opening and being placed automatically, and I can only see the consultant's DWG, which looks like a bunch of blips because there's no context.
How I can get things back to normal? One click that will automatically open and re-associate/re-attach all the XREFs needed? I tried attaching a zip file as an example but it exceeds the maximum allowed

I received a title block update from the architect and it has a block attribute that has the delta revisions of the project. So the new file had a text addition for delta 2. When I replaced the old title block with the new one and then opened one of my sheets, the title block is not showing delta 2, the field is empty.
Do attributes not update automatically? do I need to detach and reattach the title block in all my sheets ?

We’re working in AutoCAD 2010 but need to save as 2007 DWG. AutoCAD is set in Options to save to 2007 format, and all files - host and reference - are or should be in that format.
Something is triggering an automatic save of the xrefs. The xrefs are not being edited, in-place or otherwise, but every so often I get a balloon message saying the xref has changed and I need to update it. So I update it, and when I check the file format, I find it’s been saved in 2010 DWG.
Other people on the project are also having this problem. Engineers on this project are using 2009 and keep coming to us and asking where the xrefs are.
This is AutoCAD 2010, "English Version 3" running in XP2 SP3.

I am getting this Dim reassociate icon all over my drawing. how i can re associate all my dimensions in one step. Because every time a try to re associate. it asks me to select two points. I simply can not do this as i have hundreds of them in my drawing. I don't understand how they become dissociated. I have attached a screen shot of it.

i have a large number of drawings that need xrefs detached and re-attached with the latest model xrefs, any way to do them in bulk rather than opening each individual drawing? the problem started a while back, when opening drawings, ACAD is not loading the latest 'saved' model when opening drawings...

Is it possible to auto-reattach dimensions programmatically?
I have an assembly that I'm suppressing/unsuppressing parts in and my drawing dimensions keep getting orphaned. I discovered the "Preserve Orphaned Annotations" option, which keeps them from disappearing on me. I can then reattach the dimensions via the design doctor, but who wants to click the doctor 6 times for 20+ dimensions?

Is there a way to heal open edges in autocad. Like if i’m trying to hatch an area that has open vertices spaced very narrowly. I have to zoom it and close the area. Is there any macro/plugin in Autocad that heals open joints automatically?

I recently upgraded from vista to windows 8.
I then upgraded from Photoshop elements 9 (I think) to Photoshop elements 11. I had catalogs and pictures scattered in different places so one of the options was just too gather all of the photographs on the hard drive and start a new catalog. It worked, and so all of my pictures are under one catalog name which is perfect. The key word tag categories are listed as I had sent them up in the previous version, but none of the photos are actually labeled with their keyword tax. How can I reattach the tags to the pictures.

I have a drawing that suddenly stopped synching one of the alignments (the others synch fine) and the two surfaces that are referenced. They are all data referenced but require me to open the drawing and manually synch the entities each time. This drawings was functioning perfectly until this began just recenlty. I've searched the forums but can't find anything. I'm assuming maybe some system variable is wacky but that doesn't explain why the other alignments sync just fine.

It started about 3 or 4 weeks ago on my office workstation with Inventor 2013 Pro. Seems to still go okay at home with 2014. I'm using Inventor's built-in PDF export, not an external program.

We have our options set to Auto Publish on Save (Autocad 2011). On some of our stations, the PDF will pop up automatically. This is what we WANT to happen. On other stations, the pdf has to be found and then opened to make sure it is correct. (this step, which is apparently way to difficult for some people, is not being performed, leading to extra work/time later to complete the project) I had everyone ensure their DWGtoPDF.pc3 custom properties was set to "open in PDF viewer when done" (and when they do a straight plot, it does come right up) It just wont do it when its thru Auto Publish. Mine is one of them that comes up just fine....I have looked at every setting I have and tried to compare with theirs, but it all looks the same.

I don't remember ever using this checkbox on the Publish dialog box but today i want to and i can't figure out how to make it work. The help file ~seems~ to say that if i select this, the contents of all open documents (layouts and/or model space) are automatically loaded.... but they don't.
I know i can pick the Add Sheets button and manually select all the drawings i have open but doesn't that defeat the purpose of this checkbox?

I just did a reformat, and I used to be able to open DNG's in ACR just by double clicking them, but I can't figure out what setting that was. It was nice to avoid having to right click and select Open in Camera Raw, and just press enter.

I have been away for a few months and now, when I go to open a RAW image in CS6, it tries to default to Photoshop, then opens in Camera RAW. This is something new. How do I get RAW images to open automatically in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)? They did before (two months ago). They do not now. I can, of course, right click and go to the dropdown menu and tell it to open in RAW but that is an extra, unnecessary step. There's a saying..."It's not a bug, it's a feature." No, this seems to be a bug. What happened?

I'm trying to set up my new machine to export the XML of a file when I open it by dragging the files onto the Ps icon (Mac). It used to automatically happen on my old work machine.

Is there any way to have Photoshop CS5 automatically open files at startup? I have 3 files that I use as "templates", and it would be nice if they launched along with the program.

Recently Photoshop CS6 has started automatically opening up to a certain photo every time I launch it. I'd like to stop this behavior.
I am on a MacPro running Mt. Lion, all sw is up to date.

When I open an image by double clicking on the file name, or by right-click > open in > photoshop, immediately up pops an image saying "Some Clipping May Occur" or the print dialogue in some cases.
But, if I drag the file into PS and drop it, it does not try to print it. So it seems to be something about actually "opening" a file that makes it want to print. I tried changing the file association to another program then back, but it didn't work. I'm using WinXP

We have a couple of issues with Illustrator CC on a number of workstations?
1. It randomly switches between open windows; if I am working in one window it will switch to another open window even if that window is put in the dock.
2. Constantly crashes.

I have a very large PDF that I need to open in Photoshop (It is a template image). The size of the image is 125.9843" x 91.5354".
However, when I open in Photoshop the image is automatically resized to about 106" x 79". I have tried to manually input the dimensions upon opening the file, however, when I open the file and check "Image Size" the dimensions are 106" x 79" again.
I can open the image in Illustrator at the correct dimensions automatically, and the PDF file itself is at the correct dimensions.
[I am using Photoshop CS5.1]

File-> Open is the only way I can open files with 64-bit.When I clicking icons or right click-> Open With they only open with the 32-bit version. (Even though I've set the default program to 64-bit)
I'm able to open 64 bit by shortcut and it runs very well, about 10 times faster loading time and extremely smoothly for everything I do.
Here is my system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 Intel Core i5-3330 @ 3.0 GHz (3.2 Turbo) (2nd Generation i5 processor) 8 GB Ram 1600 Mhz (800 MHz for each 4 GB stick) (1GB shared memory for onboard graphics, 6.94GB useable) Gigabyte GA-B75M-HD3 Motherboard

I like to edit my images in Photoshop. why after I upload raw files into LR and using photoshop as external editor, the file opens but not in the PS (photoshop) raw processor. I have to work around this by first finding the image in windows explorer and dragging this file into PS. Shouldn’t the file open automatically in the PS raw processor ?

I copied photo folders from my hard drive to lightroom 4 and edited them but then accidentally removed these folders from lightroom. I then imported these folders again into lightroom but all the edits I made orginally in lightroom don't show up for the individual photo's.
I backed up the Lightroom catalogue regularily. Is there any way I can reattach these edits to their respective photos'. There is lot of photo's involved.

I render in 3ds Max and output .exr files. Whenever I open them the dialoge box pops up to ask me if I'd like to assign a working profile or assign a specific profile. Is there some way that I can tell PS to just always assign a working profile so I don't always have to go through that dialoge box?

When I open a raw file it automatically converts to a smart object. After processing and merging I am unable to print anything other than the original object. What might I be doing wrong?
