AutoCad :: Root DWG To Remove Xref Values
Aug 27, 2013
I have been using AutoCAD for some time now. I have always been trying to stay away from X-Refs as I do not understand them fully. But in the current project im running I have to upload a .dwg into a program, but the catch is, the drawing MUST NOT have any X-refs. Now, in the folder structure I have of this drawing consists of about +-10 different .dwg files.
Is there any way I can use the root .dwg to remove the x-ref values, but still have the drawing, to allow me to have the same drawing so I can upload it into my program?
Size does not matter in this scenario.
I ll be hovering the forums for some time

I need a lisp sub-function that can empty all attributes of a specified dynamic block. The idea being that the specified block contains data that changes often and in order to repopulate the block's attributes with new data to replace the old I wish to just blank out the old data first, because it's possible that the new data may not utilize as many attributes and all of the old data must be removed.
The thing is the block I'm after is on several layouts, CTABs and they all need to be wiped clean.

I have an attribute blocks and this att block has two tag values , is there a simple code for to change 1st tag values automaticly according to 2nd values ?
for example :
1st tag (50x50) - 2nd tag ( 100 ) ==> 50x50-100
if i enter 201 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 100x100

if Autocad uses the root of the Recycle Bin ($Recycle.bin) as a temporary staging area for backing up or syncing? I have found GP4 and DWG files at the root, that are not associated with any user's SID.

I want a dimension to be the square root of 32, so I entered:
Sort(32 LU)
Now, the square root of 32=5.656854...
But the dimension I get is 2.227...
So, I try to play with the numbers a little to decipher what Inventor is doing. If I enter:
Sort(32 LU)*2
I get 11.314...
2.227*2 does not equal 11.314
However,
(√32)*2=11.313708...
This is the first time I have used equations that are more complicated than basic math.

Is there a way to have no layer value set for the description keys. I set all the layers, and now I realize I'd rather set this to no layers (boxes are all unchecked). I'd rather see no value under the layer column, but there doesn't seem like a way to set this.

Whenever I place a view of a derived part (or an assembly containing derived parts) the body of that from which the part was derived is also displayed, even though when viewing the part or assembly file they are invisible. It is almost as if there is a "ghost" reference to the parent body of the derivation - surely there must be a way to turn this off?

I have a text style I like and it works nicely annotative. So long as I am in my drawing using my menu I am fine. When I go to a palette and try to utilize some of the premade blocks it populates another font. How can I get my font to either be universal or change it at the root of the block?

[URL] how to add a dynamic radius, with reference to the Move and scale actions.
"1. Set the Radius to Independant and move the center point to the center of the radius"
"2. Add the Scale Action to the Move Action"
"3. You already noticed the angle of the stretches (45, 315) needing to change and the Move multiplier of 1.414"
I am trying to design a column block, but following the above instructions for the root radius the radius moves when I test the block!
1. "move the center point to the center of the radius" What does this mean. I am selecting a liinear parameter, selecting the mid point of the arc first and then the arc center point.
2. "Add the Scale Action to the Move Action". How do you add the scale action to the move action.

Is there a relatively easy way to root multiple wires along the same path, with a predefined distance between them so there's no interference between them? Something similar to the attached picture... or packed even closer together.
I got in a hole lot of trouble to get the result from the picture and I was hoping that there is an easier way... a workaround... something.
Using segments is not an option (only maybe as an intermediary step) but in the end I have to have all the wires as separate entities.

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.

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].....

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.

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.

I'm trying to show, using the eyedropper tool, the actual values of pixels in an 8-bit grayscale image (Mode command confirms that's what's there). In the Info panel, the eyedropper tool displays percentages for every type of color information (K, CMYK), while the "8-bit" field remains blank.

when you rename a photo in LR the name should also change in the root folder.However this does not seem to be happening, I have checked the name in Lightroom and it has changed, ie. family_trip_100 then I go into the folder and bring up the only and exact same photo and it says it is family_trip_7-2

Using Lightroom 3 - I am importing photos into folders and subfolders with titles created in the destination panel -
the titles display in the destination panel as well as in the hard drive root directory under pictures - Lightroom - my Lightroom photos - title of folder of subfolder etc. as expected.
-however-
After the photos are imported and I go back into the library to review them - clicking on Macintosh HD (I am using OS X version 10.7.3) reveals only dates the photos were taken and no root directory folder or subfolder titles. Using catalog I can see that all of the photos have been imported into the library.

There is a serious root problem with Adobe's implemented permissionless-temp-file creation methods (pun intended.) The problem is that during startup, both Bridge and Photoshop CS6 try to make temp files on the root folder of the OS drive. Its affecting many peoples' installations by crashing them on application launch if not run by the super-administrator account on the computer. Adobe says to just run as admin to fix it, which does fix the start up crash. However, for me, it creates a gigantic problem: it breaks OS-to-PS and OS-to-Bridge drag and drop functionality completely!!! I literally was slowed to a crawl in my workflow having to import photos 1 at a time through the file-> open menu because I couldn't drag and drop various files from various locations on my computer. Not everything is clumped in 1 area neatly for Bridge to open everything, and I never realized just how much I used this function until this run as admin band-aid broke it. Eventually I fixed the CS temp location after 10-12 hours of hair pulling research and trial and error, and I finally have Photoshop CS6 working without admin permissions and everything is dandy with drag and drop, but only in PS. Bridge still cannot be run without administrator privileges and cannot have files dropped in or out of it to or from Explorer, and I am getting really frustrated here.
So does anyone else find their drag and drop ability gone once running Bridge/PS CS6 in admin mode? Is there a way to move the default temp creation location of Bridge as well? I'm frustrated and I think Adobe seems to be taking this permissions issue way too lightly!

Parts of my drawing were not allowing me to distance, dimension or trim them, so I suspected that some of the lines weren't flat. I just checked a troublesome line and it has a crazy Z value. I tried changing Start Z and End Z to "0," but that just moved the line to another place. When I put it back, the Z value changed back. If I'm able to grip points to dimension something, the dimension lines appear way below the points. Other parts of the drawing are fine.
I think I accidentally did something to the WCS, but I don't know what or how to fix this.

I have a drawing that is a topigraphical survey in 2D its constructed of 2D polylines, I need to convert these to 3D polylines so I can add a Z vertex then move the lines/contours to their Z value currently illistrated by text on the plines.
change the line types and easily move the lines to their correct Z value?
