I created a vb.net stand alone program. Used the following to create the CAD object:
CreateObject("Autocad.Application")
for doing some batch job.
Then I deploy it to a group of computers. It is working fine for some computers and others failed with either "actvieX can't create object" or "call rejected by callee". All computers has AutoCAD full version(Mechanical or Electrical) installed.
I made a write block from one drawing so that i could use it in another drawing. Now that i have inserted it into a different drawing i cannot explode it. I did not see the option to allow exploding when i created it.
I tried to create a regular block (not a write block) but then when i opened a new drawing and clicked "insert" "block" it was not in the list of available blocks?

I'm trying to create a model of a Golf club head. I need it to be hollow but I am unable to do this using the shell operation or by creating a surface and thickening the faces. I created the geometry by lofting a series of sketches. I think the nature of the geometry may be causing the problem.
I have a structure that I need to wblock but I need to bpoly it first, which is a tedious and time consuming process.Is there a way to wblock it without applying bpoly first?
Mediastudio 5 pro ultimate Win7 64 AMD 960T on six cores Asus M5A78L M LX + 8 GB HD 3000 integrated graphics OS is installed on a 128 MB SSD Project target file is on a 500GB WD Blue.
I have ripped a Blue Ray DVD as an .m2t, at an average bit rate of about 18.5 Mb/sec, with a resulting file size of over 16GB. Needles to say this file bogs the machine when not running the proxy. When I finish a session and close the program, the proxy file is gone the next time I open the project. The same thing happens when the machine goes to sleep with the project open. I have to either slog through working directly on the project without the proxy while it slowly rebuilds, or wait a couple of hours for the rebuild to complete.
Any way to stop the file from being deleted? I went to power options and selected never, but the next day it was gone again.
Another thing would be to increase the speed of the proxy creation, as it only uses about 20% of the CPU. Better to get it done faster... I have tried raising the priority of the process to high with little if any change.
Getting into Dynamic Blocks in a big way. As the blocks we use are variants of each other, if the parameters that are created in one block can be copied into another block to save having to re-do the entire parameter sets again.
I'm upgrading some older COM based code to work in VB.Net with Civil 3D 2012. The app iterates through all of the Alignment objects, finding the ones with SuperEleveation, and places the names in a listbox. The user can select one or more of the alignments from the list to have the SuperElevation slope values modified.
The problem I am having is when I get the alignment object to update I get an execption that the object is locked. It's probably something simple but I'm at a loss to where to go next.Here as a brief code snippet:
' Sub1 is called to find all of the alignment objects with SuperElevation Sub Sub1() Dim objCol As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectIdCollection Dim objID As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId Dim tm As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Transaction Dim myAlg as Alignment [code]....
I am copying and pasting a block from one drawing to another but as soon as I past it, AutCAD stops responding. I have done purging and auditing and still can't solve the issue.
We have a large AutoCAD file received from a survey company consisting of one large block that I want to explode and edit. When I attempt to explode it, a portion of it disappears.
This is the fifth version of the file that we have received. The previous versions did not have that portion at all, so we had to keep sending back for it.
What's been tried: 1. Turned on/unfroze all layers and zoom extents - No change 2. Tried both Burst and Explode - No change 3. Tried to copy/paste into a new drawing. - "Copy to Clipboard Failed" 4. Inserted drawing as a block into a new drawing. - The disappearing portion did not seem to be inserted along with the rest of the drawing 5. Attempted to edit the block. - "This block contains proxy objects and cannot be edited in the Block Editor"
Is it possible to write an event handler for an autocad event/ command like insert new block? I want the event to trigger the execution of an update routine . something like this post
I need a routine that will duplicate the current sheet's Layout tab and content to the next tab, set it current, delete the titleblock (by name) on the new tab and reference in a differently named titleblock, 1:1, 0,0 onto the new Layout tab. I'll be running this in a batch script.
How can I copy a profile view style from one drawing to another? I can't seem to locate the ones I created in toolspace to be able to drag them from one drawing to another.
I have made an object using the artistic media tool and I would like to copy and paste it, however when I try and paste it into my page there is nothing there but the bounding box. How do I copy and paste this object so it can be seen?
I have come across a rather disturbing bug in Illustrator when copying an object with a color fill from one document to another.
Both documents have the same color space. Lets look at this example to see the condition. Make two documents with the same color space.
Make an object and assign a color to it. Lets say Pantone 201C and set it to a CMYK build - not a true spot color. Now make another document with the exact same Pantone 201C color - but specify it as a true spot color. Now copy and paste from one document to the next. As you shall see, you will get a dialog box warning you to add or discard the color to the recieving document as expected. This is a good behavior that tells the user that you have the same color builds but assigned different values.
Now what happens if we assign one document a book color value of PMS 201C and the other document a "spot" color build of PMS 201C. So we now have two PMS colors in two documents with different values assigned to them. Drag and drop or copy and paste an object from one document to the next. You shall now see that the recieving document now has two objects with the same PMS name, but two different color builds (and visual color differences).
What should happen in this situation is the user be prompted with a dialog box to either merge the two similar PMS spot color builds or add - like what you see when copying an object with the same color buld name, but has a different value assigned between the two.
Some of our designers are just going ape over this condition and I hope this bug could be addressed in a .01 release.
I am having some trouble with a file in Illustrator CS6. Within a layer, when I add a fill to an object, the fill doesn't block out the object paths beneath. For instance, say I have a square object overlapping a circle object in Layer 1. The square object is above the circle in the layer. When I add a fill to the square, the circle stroke still shows through the square even though the overlapped part should be blocked out by the fill. The square is set to normal visibility, and I have made sure that there are no duplicate paths that would account for what I am seeing. (I.e., it's not a case where there's a second identical circle path that is on top of the square, so that it remains visible in spite of the fill.)
Other details: - I'm mainly working with a white fill, but the problem is the same with fills of any color - When there's a fill color in the circle path as well, the circle's fill color *is* blocked out—just not its stroke. - I have restarted Illustrator and restarted my computer and these have not changed anything. - There are other layers within the same document where the normal layering rules work. - I tried copy/pasting some of the problem objects into a new document, and in the new document, the fill works properly. - If I move the problem objects to another layer, then the fill works as it should. But as I'm dealing with a number of paths, it doesn't make sense to create a layer for each to solve the problem.
I can't tell if it's a matter of working in too large or complex a file.
I've just been told by a customer that "Delete Rejected Photos" in a Smart Collection no longer works in LR5. Previously it was possible to delete photos from the catalog, even when viewed in a Smart Collection, by marking them as "rejected" and then using the "Delete Rejected Photos" command. Is this a deliberate change?
It seems as though this has also changed from a static collection. "Delete Rejected Photos" asks if I want to "remove the <n> rejected photos from Lightroom" but in fact only removes them from the collection.
I am playing for the first time with rejected flag. Before I used the red flag and then deleted manually bad picture. I notived the following:
- Put some picture in a Collection. Let's say you did a reportage and you shooed 250 pictures (my case yesterday). - Inside the collection set rejected flag (X key) the bad pictures (unsharp, etc..). - Click on one rejected picture (you see the reject flag enable) and then to in Library - The rejected flag is gone!
I would rather keep every flag the same anywhere (collections, library...).
By the way, I wish as well to be able to deleted the rejected photo directly from the Collections in the menu "Photos -> Delete Rejected Photo...". "Delete Rejected Photo" can only "Remove". At least the menu name is missunderstanding.
I want to set the filter to display only unrated and rated images so that rejected images disappear from the view as soon as I type "X" and move on to the next image. Then I want go through my rejects to make sure they are all duds before deleting them permanently, and i don't want to see them again until I do that. I can display one star or greater, but I can't figure out how to display unrated or greater Surely this is user error and not poorly designed filtering.
This problem started yesterday after I moved some of my library to an external hard drive. I created a new catalog and moved the photos within lightroom. I don't know if the move of photos caused the error or not. Now whenever I try to delete rejected photos, I get the following error message:
Database "/Users/mollynordin/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 4 Catalog.lrcat": PreviewDataObservers_DevSettingsDeletions.devSettingsDigest may not be NULL Statement: DELETE FROM Adobe_imageDevelopSettings WHERE id_local = ?;
