Is there a way to save and/or open Action setups separate from CFX setups?
Is there a simple way to export objects, axis, or lights to FBX files? Obviously, the FBX camera node can export a camera but it would be useful to export an axis as a locator, at the least.
Is it possible to archive setups without archiving the whole project?

When trying to open the Connect FX editor, I get the following error on all connect FXs: "The Connect FX has lost its setup and can no longer rendered or edited."
Is there a way to save a setup in Action so that I can use it again in another Action composite? What I'm looking for is what ConnectFX Clips do in Smoke2013. I have some 3D models, connected together with Axis and some bkgd elements that I'd like to use over and over again in different Action composites. I'd like to just import those setups (models etc.) into new Action composites. Is this possible?

Inside my current action, I have this Axis+Image with some keyframes on opacity and transformation, also some keyframes on X blur/Y blur in my Media list. How do I recycle this setup for other Action?
I tried the save selected object, but when I load it from other action, using Add Nodes + Media method, only the Axis and Image show up (with keyframes). The Media of it shows empty.
I unarchived a timeline from 2012, ext.2 into 2013, ext 1. Is there any way to open action from the clip using History or do I have to rebuild everything?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried in a few different files now to import some sheet file (paper space) layouts from other files and it is just giving me a blank screen once I choose the file to import from. The paper space layouts aren't showing up to choose from, if that makes any sense. It has been awhile since I've had to do this, so admittedly could be doing something wrong, but I don't think so as I've searched but found none.
I'm right clicking on the paper space tab and choosing "Page setup manager" then "import", finding the file I want to import from and then the next box pops up with what is supposed to be the layouts to choose from but it's blank.
I have quite a few thousand of drawings that each has a different page setup saved in them. What I would like to do is to remove all of these pageset ups from these drawings, import a newly one, set it to current and then save the file for later printing. Maybe some lisp file that can accomplish this.

I have a copy machine that staples automatically but i dont want it to staple all the time. I made two page setups 1 called toshiba 11x17 and one called 11x17 stapled. However every time i go into the properties for them whatever i do to one effects the other. I just want one to be stapled one to not be stapled and everything else to be identical.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAny Lisp routine available out there that will import a page setup in multiple drawings in one shot and save it to the group of drawings? Kind of the way you can import a page setup in a group of drawings in Publish, but that's only temporary for that particular print job. I'm looking for something that will permanently save it to the list of drawings.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to create page setups for multiple printers in a network environment?
Here is the problem:
We have 2 offices with 3-7 printers per office and each printer with different capabilities (black and white, color, 11x17, wide format, etc.). I have CAD users who know little about setting up layouts so I want to create preconfigured layouts that they can import from a template via Design Center or other means.
I know I could set up a layout for each printer, page size, plot scale, and plot style table, but that gets to be so many layout permutations that it becomes overwhelming to manage and use. Up until now I had set up PC3 files for a few commonly used printers (wide format plotter, laser, pdf) and gave them generic names with the intent that I could simply direct the output to any printer by assigning it to one of the generic PC3 files. The problem I've encountered is that over time we've acquired new printers and old printers sometimes go offline or out of service and many of the printers have incompatible printable areas and page sizes to each other, so for example a page setup that calls for an 11x17 sheet for one printer does not have an equivalent size when a different printer is assigned to the layout.
Are we stuck with having to configure setups for each and every printer and permutation?

I found a function on JTBWorld named listPageSetups, which appears to be meant for listing the pagesetups that exist in an "open" dwg file (as I can get it work for the current dwg). So,
(1) Can this function be used to list page setups in another, un-opened dwg, and, if so, how?
(2) If the answer to (1) is No, is there a LISP way to get a list of page setups from another, un-opened dwg?
I have recently been using Sheet Set Managers (SSM) more recently and have found them quite handy but I am also finding some peculiarities with it too. I have no issues setting up a SSM and getting it to plot all my sheets either to our plotter or to PDF at full size (24x36), however when it comes to setting up a half size (11x17) page setup and overriding to it, is where problems occur.
What I want is a page setup that I can select that will plot 11x17 from 24x36. So, I first created a page setup that does this in our template (.dwt) and then set the page setup overrides file to our template file (under sheet set properties). Next I right-cliked on my sheet set and went to "Publish" and then "Publishing Using Page Setup Override", but the list it populated for me did not reflect all of the page setups we have in our template??? It listed two page steups _24x36 and _30x42 (see attachment). These page setups can be found in our template under page setup manager along with several others which don't show in the overrides (see attachment).
Is there a reason the other page setups aren't coming up in the SSM overrides menu?
Once upon a time in a job far, far away I had a lisp routine that deleted the current page setups and replaced them with new ones imported from a template drawing. It's probably been a good 6-7 years since I found it the first time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have, since moving to 2012 had an issue with our standard Named Page Setups in our DWT file staying assigned to the layout tabs. When you click up to plot a dwg... the Page Setup Name indicating that the Named Page Setup assigned to the plot configuration dialog box says <None>. Even if you click in the drop down and select a setup... the name selected shows as selected after the box colapses... but then a split second later, the box defaults back to <None>.

Is there a way to remove the *Model* page setup entry from the list of Page Setups in the Page Setup Manager? This is the first time I am seeing *Model* in the list, and I suspect that it the reason I am not able to generate a PDF for this particular drawing. When I try, I get the following error:

I have this idea that removing *Model* from the list will do it. In addition to causing PDF creation failure, I believe it is also responsible for forcing the Model to always be in the Publish list, even though I have unchecked the "Include model when adding sheets" option. I can remove it from that list manually, but it comes back every time.
I am looking for a way to easily view the separate rgb channels as grey values for key pulling on each channel. Also, I am looking for a way to change the viewer gamma value without changing the fx value.

I created a 3D text and a 3D path. Now I simply want the text to follow the path (the text should always look at me, so I can read it). But as soon as I connect the path to my axis of my text, the letters are being pushed together. No matter what path settings I try (Look at... etc) the letters don't extend back to their original "position"

I have a 10 sec clip that I want to track. It's a girl driving on her bike a long a street. The camera is always parallel to her, so that the scene behind her keeps on changing. How can I track such a shot? I know, that if I want to track something going off screen, I have to jump to the last frame and adjust the tracker, but this clip is just too long, to just place the tracker at the very last frame (almost randomly).
