AutoCAD 2013 :: XREF Layers - Any Way To Merge

Apr 26, 2013

When you XREF a drawing from another file that file is brought in along with all of its layers. Personally I do not need these layers for my access is there anyway I can combine all these to eliminate the large quantity of layers in my file? Say by layer merging. And if I do will this affect the ability of the file to revise itself?

Explanation: What I am doing is taking a bunch of engineering drawings, XREF them into my file, then creating seperate viewports for each drawing referenced in. But the key is I need these files to adjust automatically when the engineers make changes (This is done through the XREF command from what I gathered from one of my previous posts).

AutoCad 2D :: Why Detach Is Not An Option For XRef

Jun 12, 2012

I cant figure out why detach is not an option for an x-ref I have overlaid on my drg, there are other files attached to the x-ref in question, which I suspect is the issue.

Premiere Pro :: Why Is The Audio Option Not Showing On Merge Clips

Sep 26, 2013

On Adobe Premiere Pro CC (up to date, running OSX 10.8.5), when I select an audio clip and a .mov clip and attempt to use the audio sync seen in several tutorials, that option is not available. I only see in points, out points, time code and clip marker for syncronize points. Are there only certain file types that can be synced this way or is there a setting I'm missing?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Merge Two Different SDF Files

Apr 24, 2013

I have two SDF fileswith simpley polygon, lets say parcels boundary in the A.sdf, each feature has 10 feature data properties, i.e. taxid, owner, zone, value etc in the B.sdf, each feature has 3 feature data properties i.e. area, layer, colour

I would like to move all the features from B.sdf to A.sdf, however at the least I need to ensure that features moved from B.sdf now has the same number (10)of feature data properties as in A.SDF..Only solution I could come up with is to import A.sdf file into Map3D so that I have a datatable. erase all the features, then B.sdf file and use the attach data to attach the table data to each feature then output to A.sdf using append.

Apr 15, 2012

I have a file that is x-reffed into another file. In both instances the drawing has the same measurements, but when I make a viewport in the receiving file the drawing (in the viewport) is 1000x smaller than it should be. It should be noted that I am working in metric units AutoCAD 2011.

AutoCAD LT :: Xref Files Show Up With Crosshairs?

Sep 24, 2012

I am working with files from an architect and when I open a file with xrefs they all have these big crosshair/boxes all over them.  I can choos edit in [lace and delete the crosshairs but there are a lot of xrefs and it will take for ever.  They are not on the original drawings that I can see. One with crosshairs and one without.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Xref Files Not Showing Up In All Viewports

Jun 26, 2012

I attach an xref to a drawing, plan profile, and align the parts of the xref in each viewport the way I want them to appear.

The host drawing is a generic plan profile sheet border. The viewports are set to the same scale same annotative scale, and are undefined, not a plan or profile viewport. I save the drawing and get out of cad all together. I restart cad and open the drawing. The plan view viewport is visible and the xrefs are also. In the profile viewport nothing is visible or only one line is visible. Items in the view port are viewable, not frozen in the viewport, not turned of. The annotative scale is exactly the same for all viewports as is the xref drawing.I am xrefing a civil 3d 2011 aliment and profile drawing into these sheets. The only way to see the xref in the view ports is to detach and reattach the xref. To make things worse this does not happen to all drawings that are using the border that I used to create this drawing set.

AutoCad :: Converting 1000's Of Files From Microstation J Drawings With Mail Merge Portion

Nov 9, 2011

We are a water utility and have thousands of detail drawings of service taps and hydrant connections (maybe 11,000 total). These are in the old Microstation J format. Each drawing is divided into a top half and bottom half. The bottom half of the drawing is the actual drawing portion.

The top half of the drawing is text that comes out of an Old Oracle database, into Microsoft Word 2000 through mail merge then is copied and pasted into the top portion of the card. Newer drawings done like this and opened in AutoCAD have the top portion identified as an OLE object (embedded object), while the older drawings just look like a drawing in the top.

I'm looking to update the system to ArcGIS and AutoCAD. The data will be moved to a Microsoft Access database (probably later SQL Server), and I want to convert all the old Microstation drawings into an AutoCAD format. ArcGIS will provide the basemap and be linked to the database, with clickable hyperlinks to open the AutoCAD drawings. I would like to be able to keep the bottom drawing half while changing the top half of each drawing to reflect updated data in the database. If this can be automatically updated, that would be awesome.

One is the best program to automatically bulk convert the drawings from Microstation J to AutoCAD (I have 2011). Also, I'm looking for a method to display the text from the database in the top portion of the card using either mail merge with AutoCAD or some automatic method of pulling the info out of the database. Can I just copy-paste this info into AutoCAD as we did with Microstation or is there a better way?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Plotting Files With PDF Xref Directly From 2012?

Aug 28, 2012

problem when plotting files that have PDF images attached to them and are viewed through a viewport.  When plotting, the publishing bar fills up but then stays filled and doesnt disappear.  At this point AutoCAD is locked up and I see the file starts spooling.  I have several PDF files attached that amount to no more than 500 kb, however, when spooling it racks up to 30mb before in sends it off to the plotter and it takes a very lenghtly wait (up to 60 min).  Eventually it plots and sometimes it doesn't plot at all.  After a while if I try cancelling the plot, it will start plotting but only half of the page and after that the entire operating system will lockup.  We have several machines (6) and 2 plotters in a network and the plotters are shared.  Is there a better and faster way to work with PDF xrefs?  Could this be a networking problem instead of AutoCAD?  

machine specs:

Dell Precision T3400
Intell Core Duo @ 2.33GHz
2GB RAM
OS: XP pro ver.2002 (w/ SP3)
AutoCAD Architecture 2012

Plotters:

HP Design Jet 1055CM
KIP 3000

AutoCAD .NET :: Can Cache Files Manually / Faster Xref When File Cached

Jan 15, 2013

I have noticed that a file is xrefed much faster if the file has been opened at some point. (Wtih the file I tested with it was 45 sec vs 1,5 sec) This must mean that the file is cached and can very quickly opened later if it has been opened.

I have an application that xref other files as overlay xref's. This is very slow since the xrefed files haven't been opened. And it will be this slow every time i xref them since they are never opened. Is there a way I can cache the files manually or something like that?

AutoCad :: Use Xref Manager To See Where Actual File For Xref Resides On Computer / Server

Nov 15, 2013

I know that in ACAD you can use the xref manager to see where the actual file for the xref resides on your computer/server/etc. What I'm curious about is whether or not the inverse action is possible. Can you somehow access the file (not the output sheet where it's being xref-ed) and see what other files are using it as an xref?

I've come in on a project that is nearing completion and have been assigned the task of "cleaning up the project folder." Unfortunately, there are a ton of files in the different folders that are no longer in use on the final output sheets and I need to keep the ones still in use and archive the ones that are no longer needed. What I've been doing is going through those sheets and reviewing the xref manager for each sheet to see which files are actually put onto those sheets and making a physical checklist from which to organize my findings. Once the checklist is made, I then archive all the files that are no longer being used.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Xref Layer With Xref Name?

Jul 31, 2009

Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.

(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))

[Code].....

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Xref Reactor Object ID To Xref Name

Oct 2, 2012

I am using (trying to anyway) a :VLR-xrefSubcommandReloadItem reactor.  My only question is how to get the xref/block name from the 'reactor callback data' Object ID.

I am ultimately trying to pass it to (vla-get-xrefdatabase ....), but I cannot figure out how to turn the second parameter from the reactor callback data into something I can use - for example the second parameter returned may be "65" or some other number.

Lightroom :: Can't Merge Raw Files In Photomatix

Jul 19, 2013

Why I can't merge raw files in photomatix if I select them and take them into photomatix from lightroom.  I can take raw files from bridge and merge them in photomatix.  When I try this in Lightroom where I would rather do everything unless I need PS, it makes duplicate files in tif, psd, or jpg depending on how its preferences are set.  Also when I select photos and tell it to merge them using photomatix the only option it allows me to select is edit a copy with lightroom adjustments.  The other two are grayed out!  Then I'm left with an HDR photo that I wanted but just a bunch of useless added files lightroom had to create to do it.
 
I can select the same raw files but use bridge and it will take the raw files into photomatix and I don't end up with a bunch of files I don't want.  But then I have an HDR image that isn't imported into lightroom.  Is there a work around or is this just the way it is?

AutoCad :: Bind Xref But Also Preserve Xref Links?

Sep 17, 2013

when you bind an xref the link disappears from the xref manager.

is it possible to bind an xref, but preserve that link in the xref manager? i realize that will lead to two copies of the same object in the drawing (one xref, plus the new block). everyone's okay with that happening.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Save A Print Merge File With Merge Data Field

Feb 26, 2013

Why cant I save a cdr job with all the merge fields setup so that next time I open the file I can go straight to 'merge to new document'.

So Ive set up a 10 to view raffle tickets job.  Inserted 20 numerical merge fields, positioned, resized, applied font size color alignment etc etc etc.. Takes ages.....  So then merge to a new document, works nice and I can save it fine. 

There are a hundred reasons why i may have to close the 'master' merge file before the job has been successfully printed.  It may be a repeat print job.

Any which way I really dont get why the live merge data  fields are lost on closing the file.
