I recently started an internship with a company who makes radiators for power transformers. The first task they have given me is to clean up their plant layout file. The file currently has 125 layers in it due to machine blocks dragging in unwanted layers whenever they bought new machines. (presses, rolling machines, powdercoating, welding, ect...) I have been having trouble getting rid of and simplifying their floor plan. I tried creating blocks for each group of machines and changing the layer of the block to the desired layer. This seems to change the block to the right layer, but it still references to the other layers it was previously in. I want to keep the separate colors that show different parts of the machines, but I still need to eliminate the unwanted layers. Is there any way to consolidate the layers while keeping the different colors within the blocks I tried to create?. They have me working on Autocad 2006.
I have imported a dxf file from our Trimble handheld unit. The dxf has layers built into it that come straight from the trimble software. (ei, FENCE, TANK, WELL HEAD, FIELDLINE) I have custom built layers and linetypes for my .dwt file in Cad so I dont need the layers that followed the dxf file.
For some reason I am unable to delete those layers, I get a warning box saying: The following layers cannot be deleted:
. layers 0 and Defpoints . The current Layer. . Layers containing objects. . Xref-dependant layers
I am not on the current layer, I am pretty positive there is no objects on the layers I want to delete ( i have deleted my gps points and blocks that were imported)
I had a request come in this morning to generate a spread sheet with all PI's along a route with angles greater than 20°s. Using Civil 3d 2011 I thought the PI station report or any of the reports for that matter would tell me the turned/deflection angle for each PI. However, I have discovered I can get coordinates, bearings etc. but no angles. How to spit out a PI report showing the turned angle for each PI?
Somehow, in some way, I created a floating toobar for the layers manager. When I click on the layers property button, a "floating" version of it appears. I can close it, dock it, auto-hide it, etc., but can't get rid of it permanently.
I'm using LT 2011, which feels odd after two decades of running the "full strength" versions.
I have my current install set to save the dwg down to 2010. how come the preview images are blank? its only when i save down do the images become blank. if i save in the current version the preview image is there.
I need to know how to eliminate my first tread being part of the landing. I have tried every possible combination of varibles I can find. It happens randomly. when it does if I adjust anything it comes back.
Is it possible to eliminate the Profile listed in the title are? I prefer to view the path in the title area. Sometimes the path can be fairly long and characters get cut off. If I could eliminate the current profile from being listed here, I could view more of the path. See attached.
I am not a regular user of the Inventor General Table. I can make and edit the table with no problems. I want to eliminate the lines from one of the columns while leaving the lines in the remaining columns. I tried to set up the column before inserting it but could not find the column format that would allow me to do that in the Style Editor.
How to do this. I need to also remove the (read only) from the Style Editor.
I have many 3d metal sheet metal drawing. When I put the model into 3d model in to 2d layout, I see many 'lines' on flat surfaces. The 'lines' seem to be showing 'reflective effect'. However, it really cause problem when I give this to my boss. He asked why I cut the sheet metal into so many pieces. How I can set autocad NOT to show those unwanted lines?
When cleaning up a surface, I've always created an Outer Boundary to define the surface limits so that the triangles wouldn't go where I didn't want them.
I'm trying prepping in hopes of sitting for my Autodesk Civil 3d Certification exam at AU. The chapter I'm currently reading through talks about deleting triangles from the surface.
So now I'm wondering about the pros and cons of both methods.
My signature block with personal info appears when I post a question. How can I eliminate this? This question was sent via email where I erased signature block as a separate step.
When I erase in Photoshop part of a drawing, gray rectangles appear. How can I eliminate them? In other words: every time I erase something, text or drawings, those gray rectangles appear. Is there a way to erase something leaving that part just white, so there I can write or draw whatever is needed?
Back in the late 60s and 70s I had a 8mm video camera. One of those take 50' of film and send it off for developing. In the 80s I got my first talky Hi8 video camcorder. Back then I had to set up a screen, set my camcorder next to the projector and shoot away. Now I am transferring these videos to DVD so I can open them in VS X3. As might be guessed there is a lot of flicker in the videos.
Is there any way to Eliminate this flicker during post edit in VideoStudio X3?
Is there a way to eliminate the background surrounding the image before printing to a jpg? Currently, I print to a jpg then use another app to crop all the black (my background color) from around the actual image. Surely there's a way to not print the background and limit the file to just the image without having to resort to using the fixed image sizes. Does such a thing exist in LR4.1?
How to I return to the original workspace without PP? I've pressed "reset all settings" along with a number of other failed attempts and the white background screen is still there along with the dialogue box giving me options, none that I am interested any longer.
On pasting items from one dwg. to another and the ucs being the same orientation in both dwgs. the ucs in the receiving dwg. wonders around to various orientations when trying to pick the target pasting point. Objects are 3D, working in that environment. Had no trouble pasting one object into the dwg. as per normal but trying to repeat the process at a different location in the same dwg. the grief started. Ending up climbing walls!! Have been working this procedure for a couple of months and only now this problem has arisen.
When I create a picture with my (Nikon) camera in the TIFF format, it appears that the picture file contains in addition to the full blown picture, a reduced version of the picture, something like a large thumbnail vrsion of the picture. I found it by trying to create a PDF file of the .TIFF file - Acrobat created a two page file, one with the full picture and one with the reduced picture. It looks that I can't tell the camera not to embbed the thumbnail version.
how to eliminate that thumbnail version from the .TIFF file. Must be somewhere (hopfully one) location in the file that when modifying it it eliminates the thumbnail picture from Acrobat's view into the .TIFF file.
As to the question why not simply erase that undesired page from the PDF file - the answer is that I actually going to assemble many (hundreds) such pictures into one PDF file. Acrobat will put all those pictures such that each main picture will be followed by its own thumbnail and therefore I will have to select manually each single thumbnail page before erasing them, extremely tedious. If I could process it at the individual .TIFF file as describrd above, I could easily write a program that does this modification to all my .TIFF files with one invokation.
I have a graphic of a card design and have added a graphic that goes off the outside border on the card. I've included a snapshot of the card showing the ribbon running outside the border. How do I eliminate (trim off) the part outside the border?
I'm using photoshop cs6 to create textile designs, and occassionally, (it hasnt happened with every tile) when i change the image size of my tile e.g. from 15cm sq to 10cm sq, then try to repeat the tile it forms thin lines between the tiles?
heres the tile repeated after ive changed the image size and you can see the thin lines...when i zoom in on the tile edges where the line has formed it looks like this....almost as if theres empty pixels that can then be coloured in.
i dont think its a problem when creating the tile because before i changed the image size it repeated fine with no lines, its something thats happeneing when the image size is altered.
I took a picture when it was raining and I got a couple of drops in my lens. the corresponding images have a clear somewhat colored ovals from the drops and i was wondering which approach could be the best and fastest.
I scan my paintings and then send the scan to a print house to get them printed. The problem is that as I paint on a fine textured canvas I get some reflections in the dark areas especially. These look like hot pixels?
Is there any way i can get rid of these in Photoshop whilst still keeping the high degree of detail I need in the rest of the scan?
how I would make the background in my image completely disappear. I already have the background on my image transparent, but with a flashy orange background this so-called transparent background displays a grayish color. I want the background of my image to be completely eliminated and let the flashy orange flow thru it. I am missing a step here somewhere I know it. I am using Photoshop CS and when browsing online I saw mention of "alpha 1". Perhaps this will eliminate the background from my image completely, but I am unsure. The image is a GIF and PNG, so it is possible.
I want to eliminate all shades of yellow from a picture. It would be ok if they completely dissapeared or if I would be able to turn all shades of yellow into white or black. Is this possible with Photoshop? If not, do you know if it would be possible with other software?
Example:
There is a sun on a picture- I want the sun to be turned black. I am not talking about using the brush like in "Paint", but I want this to be done automatically.
