I have a particular drawing that every time i try and draw a line or a pline, it only draws in magenta. And i have to go into my properties dialog box to set it by layer and not by color....Is there some setting in the drawing taht is making this happen?
I have to draw a rather weird drawing with a lot of angled lines. Currently I'm using UCS to draw them but it's really tiresome.
I would draw 1 line, then type in UCS, select the X and Y axis, draw that line, escape, then hit in UCS again, rinse and repeat.
Is there a simpler way? I tried polar tracking "relative to last segment" but it still uses the x axis as the base, which is not what I want. I want the line to be the X axis.
Why can't I get the "3DMIRROR" command to mirror the magenta box along a zx-plane defined by the middle of the steel T-angle?
First, I use the ZX option, and after that fails to work, I try the 3-point option using a picked first point and two ortho-points to define a zx-plane.
Also, there's some randomness in the sense that some of the time the exact same series of steps will produce the correct result, but not this time, as the video below shows.

I'm also attaching the drawing in AutoCAD2010 format.
I opened my photoshop and I saw there is something wrong with my swatches palette&with the background color...end every picture I open in ps... Everything was in magenta! See the attachment for details... I don't know how to revert this to the previous state!
I'm a Photoshop CS4 convert and until recently have been printing beautiful photos using my Canon Pixma MP800. Recently I got a new computer, a HP Z400 Workstation. Runs perfectly, except now I find that my photos are printing out with this disguting magenta tint. I've recalibrated the screen and made sure the proper printer drivers were selected, uuninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers from Canon's website, unset and reset my printer as the default printer, checked all my print settings and color settings in Photoshop, made sure I had the correct paper settings selected and tried both Printer manages color and Photoshop manages color, all to no avail.I've spoken to Canon Tech Support and verified that the printer is printing correctly. I've printed out pictures that I've downloaded from the internet and that are in my Sample Photos folder in My documents and the color is perfect. But as soon as I go to print anything that has been through Photoshop, the magenta returns.
I'm trying to use the line tool to draw a colored line, I draw the line via Line tool, it appears in grey, I right click>stroke path and select Pencil > OK, the line is still grey and not the foreground color. If I do the same with a Rectangle Tool, it works fine and darws me a nice colored rectangle. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me nuts...!!
I downloaded all my JPG and RAW files to find that the JPEG images from my 5D have a overload of magenta shift. however when doing quick views in Windows Fax Viewer and BreezeBrowser the images are perfect; however when opening them up in Photoshop CS3 and Bridge the image have a magenta overload.
Unfort. I can not show a screenshot of the Windows Fax Viewer and some images because when I take a screenshot and put into photoshop the magenta appears again.
I have a psd file with about 14 layers, a few of which are hidden. I merge layers and then save as a high-resolution jpg. I then open up the jpg in photoshop and it looks just fine.
However, when viewed directly from my pc in a browser (MSIE 7 or Firefox 3.0.3, either stand-alone or in an html shell), the image has a discernable dark magenta hue.
Originally, I mistakenly had an extra channel in the PSD file that I thought was causing the problem. But it's removed yet the problem remains.
I also saved as a GIF and PNG and the problem remained.
I'm running a Mac OSX with Photoshop 7.0 and QuarkXPress 7.2, and so I tried deleting the cyan and yellow channels in photoshop. This forces me to save the Photoshop image as a DCS 2.0, thus incompatible with Quark (has to be in a .tif).
Making a monotone of the image makes the entire image magenta (and duotone isn't much better), but I'm trying to have the film reel tape as magenta and the top part of the tape be black.
The hue/saturation was very easy to make the tape into magenta from red, but printing is another issue.
I have just moved to LR4.1 from a bridge/PS6 workflow. I am having issues with the prints having a magenta cast. I have a colour managed workflow (Eizo ColourEdge monitor, Datacolour calibration, Epsom R3000 using paper manufacturers icc profiles). The magenta cast is happening when printing through LR4 using the papers icc profile. Same file is fine when printed with the same profile through CS6.
I am having a problem where just a few of my files show heavy magenta banding after importing into Lightroom 4.1. I am importing RAW files from a Nikon D800. I don't think it's the camera because most of my files are fine. And I don't think it's the files themselves either because they look fine in camera, in finder (Mac OS X 10.6), in Photoshop CS5 and even in Lightroom 4.1 itself at the import preview. But once I actually import the photos, they suddenly become corrupt and show heavy magenta banding. I've removed the files from the catalog and the HDD several times and attempted to re-import several times without success. And of course there are several attempts at restarting the iMac and running hardware checkers etc. to eliminate extra variables. It's only 5 or 6 files out of maybe 30.
My Nikon D7000 raw files all have a magenta cast to them when imported into Adobe Lightroom 3.5, and I wasn't shooting on multiple exposure. I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and have Adobe Photoshop CS4 as well as a trial version of Adobe Lightroom 3.5 (testing to see if I would like to buy as I can't read my raw files in CS4).
If I convert my raw files to DNG, and then view them using camera raw (CS4), the magenta cast is gone. However, if I view those same DNG files with Lightroom, they have the magenta cast. I have tried re-importing my catalog, but every time they all have the same strong magenta cast.
I have an image that I worked on in CS6 Extended, and then I flattened the layers, and 'saved-as' a PDF file. Then I opened the pdf file and there's a magenta colored outline going around the entire border of the image.
Why is that? I can't remeber that happening anytime before now but I will say that I did mess around with the Reader tools and Nav bar settings not too long ago. Did i set something off that I shouldn't have?
I have the absolute latest version of PDF Reader, (updated on 5-26-13).
Windows 7 64 bit, 8gb Ram, i7-2600k 5.Ghz, ATI HD 7850PE, 700W PSU, etc, etc.
I have Photoshop CS5.1 and a Macbook Pro.Most of my colours are pretty spot on in a picture, it just seems to be blues where they are nice on screen but in reality (when printed in cmyk on a litho press) are much too magenta.
I totally understand my screen is RGB and backlit etc etc but wonder if there is a way, a simple way, and the best way for my screen to emulate what a picture will look like when printed in CMYK on a litho press as near as it can.
As I say its only the lack of magenta in the blues on screen that is the issue.The only way I seem to be able to get near viewing the image on screen so it looks more magenta in the blues and therefore know by how much to remove in photoshop. How to desaturate monitor colours by 20 percent in Photoshop colour settings and tip my screen away!
I shoot in Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
LR4.2 gives some ugly magenta color cast on deep shadows especially at high iso pictures. Nikon Capture NX2 gives them too, but not so heavy. If I push the shadows at iso 1600, they are all magenta. Is it related to the beta state of the D600 support? My D700 is at iso 3200 in deep shadows completely black (only luminance noise), even pushed. Is there a possibility to correct that issue with LR (high iso blackpoint correction)? The shadow color tint correction from the calibration option is not really a solution, because it does not only correct the deep shadows, so the other shadows get a green tint.
Right now I am working on a Win 7 64 computer and have a Canon MP810 printer. I read the materials on color management and set my color management in "Print" in Lightroom 4 to "managed by printer". My printer color management in advanced settings is set all to defaults. When I print a photo from Lightroom 4, there is a distinct magenta cast to the entire photo, but it's most observable in midtone neutrals. A burnt out section of a lightbulb goes white, for instance, but greys seem to go pinkish, greens to a rust, etc. I also printed the same photo from a windows file, using Windows 7 print mode. That photo seemed to go slightly magenta in the neutrals but not nearly to the same degree. what I might try or test to see if I can get my print colors more accurate?
when drawing a line whether a normal line or polyline it adds an tail to the top going 90 degrees to the right, and even on paper space it still shows them. but I cant click on the or delete them, they move with the line too.
First off I'm using AutoCAD 2008 and I'm trying to input survey points to establish a subdivision.
My units are set as follow: length type: decimal with precision set at: 0.00. Angle type: Surveyor's Units with precision set at: N 0d00'00" E. Units to scale inserted content: feet.
I have a specific point at which i want to start from and that is 1421334.93,78320.62 which is my benchmark. I want to start my next point at 113.66 feet away from this benchmark at a bearing of N 5d27'23" W. So far I have tried using the command @113.66<N5d27'23"W but nothing happens.
Recently I've been working with a lot more projects that contain curved architectural features. It appears that I am unable to draw a line to an implied perpendicular point on an arc. I can draw a line to an implied point perpendicular to another line but not an arc. refer to attached images.
Image1 demonstrates the implied point perpendicular to a line.
Image2 demonstrates that there is no implied perpendiuclar point on the arc given by AutoCAD.
Image3 demonstrates that if the arc is manually extended, a point perpendicular to the arc does exist.
What would be the easiest way to create a 3-dash line for a drawing?
I have a user with a need for a 3-dash line. Like a phantom line but with 3 dashes.
I know how to edit the pen-up, pen-down settings in a .lin file. But then what would be the best way to handle the new line when it is sent to the client? Would I need to create a custom line file and sent it with the .dwg files or could I edit the acad.lin file? Would the receiver run into problems with missing linetypes?
I am now using AutoCAD 2007 and I am a new AutoCAD user. How can I draw a vector or a line with one or two arrow ends in AutoCAD ? It is really simple to do that in MS Word
I use Cad2013 . During a line command , I can not see the length beside the courser , so I have enter the length using keyboard and it is very time consuming .
I do not remember if I changed any default settings but It used to work properly .
Win 7-32 bit - cad2013 full version - no plugins - No viruses .
I am running AutoCAD 2012 and i am having a problems with drawing a line.The problem i have with it, i have changed some settings and i can't remember what i changed. But how to change it back.
First let me explain what i am talking about. Once i am in front view and trying to drawing a line vertical and with ortho on, it will not allow me to draw a line vertically either up or down, only horiztonal. It looks like to me that ortho is lock on top ortho only.
I have a basic drawing with dimensions A, B, C, D & E. Can those dimensions be tabulated in such a way that they can be altered within the table so that the drawing redefines itself in line with the new dimensions?
