I thought i could "File Link" from mudbox 2011.fbx files to 3dsmax file link manager but no. i get some error. (Unable to Attach this file;the file may be missing, corrupted, or may not contain valid data)
Weird since these are both Autodesk products.
We have always made extensive use of File Linking our Autocad (2009) models into 3dsmax. I seem to have found a stability issue when migrating from a Max2012 scene that includes a file linked Autocad file to Max2013.
When you Reload the linked file with 'Show Reload Options' ticked, and then click on the Advanced tab and then on 'Select Layers to include...', Max will crash. It seems to do this every time.
This only seems to happen with Max scenes that have begun in Max2012.

why my File Link Manager dialog box is not showing up in 3ds Max 2012?
I have not been using 3ds Max 2012 because it was so buggy upon it's release, and it appears as though that has not changed. Anyway, my 3ds Max 2012 is completely up to date with SPs, HFs, and Subscription Advantage Pack. This is literally the first time I've tried to use it, and it's already going bad; I would have thought by now AD would have had most of the bugs worked out of it.
I'm messing around with tables and data links, practicing. I copied a range of cells in Excel, and did paste special to create a linked table.
Now I can delete the table object, but I cannot delete the link, cannot detach it.
When in Data Manager if I right click on the data link and click delete I get the error message "The data link is being used and cannot be deleted".
I have tried detaching, and the detach does not seem to take.
Now also, the table will not update from the source xls.
Win XP, AcadLT 2011, Office 2010. Using compatible setting for saving spreadsheet, for Office 2007 (not xlsx).
If I create a linked table by starting with the Table icon, choose "from a data link", choose the excel spreadsheet, etc., then I am able to later update the table from the spreadsheet, detach, delete the link, etc. But I can only delete the link if the table is not selected when I open the Data Link Manager.
But the one that was created following the directions from the Autocad video, with the copy, paste special, that link will not detach nor delete.
If i used a text file or an image as a link in more than one indd file, is it possible to know in which and how many files indd this files is a link? if yes, how can i do?

I have a problem with loading the paint layers on my object.
I created an object in another software and then imported it into Mudbox. Here I started painting the object, but when I close and re-open Mudbox I get the error: "Failed to load texture files both ... and ..." (my two paint layers). I had this same error two days ago on a similar object, when I moved only the ".mud" file to a different location, but then I realized I need to move also the ".bak" file and the folder containing the layers into that new location and the error was solved. This time, the .mud, .bak and the folder are all in the same location, they all have the same name but I still get the error. When I open Mudbox I just get my object as it was when I imported it, with no painting on it (even though the two paint layers appear in the "Layers" tab), and with the error mentioned above.
Where do you edit the paths of the recent files in the welcome screen for Mudbox (2013 SP3) ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a human body mesh that I made in maya. The model is all quads, and has been sent to maya and exported back to Mudbox using .fbx many times.
The problem is: On my most recent trip from maya 2011 to mudbox 2011 the smooth tool no longer works the same. The tool still smooths but it tries to arrange the quads from my mesh from rectangles to a more diamond & star pattern. When I open a different file everything works like normal.
There are no errors when importing the FBX file, and every other tool works as it should.
I am relatively new to maya, and just self-taught with mudbox, so there is a very good chance that I may have caused the problem, but I cant find any settings that I would have accidentally adjusted and the problem stays with this mesh even if I import it into a different mudbox file.
For all I know it wont effect my final rigging and animation, but Ive never had it happen before on any other model and from how nasty it makes the mesh look I cant imagine it would be good.
I attached a before and after image of what happens when I use the smooth brush.
I have the student version of Mudbox 2012 - 64-bit installed on a Windows 7 platform. Long story short, Mudbox crashes whenever I try to open a new file, or even import an OBJ or FBX.
The screen blacks out and when it turns back on, I get a notification saying "Display Driver AMD successfully recovered from an error".. and the Mudbox window remains black. What's more, when this happens, Maya crashes too!

Does it might be an issue with my graphics card driver? I don't want to upgrade the driver unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary. I'd be glad to even toss out 2012 and get back to 2011 if that's stable..

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a couple parts that are linked to a jpg file, through Inventor studio. They were set as a reflection image, from what I can tell. However they are now perminantly linked to the part and anything we copy from it. I eliminated the reflection from Inventor studio, but Vault still thinks the link is there. If we delete the jpg files it causes unresolved references and as we all know Inventor will then refuse to work until they are resolved.
Any way to get rid of this link? We can make a new jpg, and resolve it, but not delete it.
I have a character model in Mudbox 2014. I exported the face, body and hands as individual .obj files, each at its maximum subdivision level. But in Mudbox 2013 the sculpting layers are all flattened on the main layer.
Is there an option to keep the sculpting and painting layers intact?
How do I get my CTB file into my plotter manager? It keeps asking for a PC3 or PC2 type file. The plotter style manager creates only a CTB. The old autocad version HAD a "plot style" pic window. this one does not. I want to create a "plotter" that writes PDF's using my CTB file info.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a task to import (convert) a specified folder of MDT files using a specified ini file to ignore the layout drawings (tests resulted in near-useless idws with most missing drawing views - mainly due to our ignorance in creating MDT drawings). I specified a subfolder as the destination for the converted ipt files. After the task runs, the ipt files appear in the main folder (where I did not want them), while the destination folder has files with the names of <original part number>.dwg.ipt. The ipt and dwg.ipt files appear identical and have the same feature tree.
A typical entry in the Import.txt file is:
22926.dwg Get Translator Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Open Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
dwg 22926.dwg Import Success ...InventorConvert MDT FilesInventor parts converted from MDT files22926.dwg.ipt
dwg 22926.dwg Close Success ...InventorConvert MDT Files
So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. It appears to be mainly working, but it will require cutting/pasting/deleting I wasn't expecting. The main goal here is to create ipt files that our CAM system can (we hope) work directly with, as they dumped the MDT translators a while back.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using the sheet set manager with very few problems for years until - you guessed it - I was upgraded to Windows 7 OS v6.1 and Civil3D 2012 IDS.
Up until then, I was able to open layouts in different drawing files through the sheet set manager while in an open file. Now, I get an error message (see attached) and have to close the file I'm in to open the other.
I can open files through the regular file open command and have more than one open at the same time, but it takes away the convenience of using the sheet set manager to avoid having to browse to the desired sheet layouts when copyclipping sheet layout drawing elements from one file to another.
I have studied every sheet set system variable to see if that was the problem, but could not find an answer. I have the same problem in Civil3D 2010. It happens to new and existing sheet sets in both versions and sheet sets made before the Windows update.
Currently. I use datafield to link room names at different scales (1:100, 1:50,...). Do we have the method to link these from multiple drawings?
