Our office would like to create a new imperial library with typical families we use on most projects. This library would be located on the server and would be seperate from the Revit standard imperial library. This would allow us to all share family files and only keep ones we use often and ones we have previously edited and customized. Is there a way to link this imperial library to Revit without erasing the standard library, only making our custom library the primary one.
I have just downloaded Revit 2014 and I can change my project units to metric from imperial but all my families are still in imperial, I was wondering how to change those to Metric too.
It appears when I copy a folder of photos up to a server, it's also copying some hidden files that nobody can do anything with, causing problems. For instance, say my folder name is Photos, I just drag and drop the entire Photos folder onto the server. But if inside Photos i have a dog.jpg and cat.jpg file, there are also hidden files names ._dog.jpg and ._cat.jpg. it's those two hidden files that are causing problems when people go to work with that folder.is it something in OSX I need to change?
We are running Revit 2012 Suites on iMac w/Parallels w/Windows XP SP3. Office file server is a Lion Server running 10.7.5. While working in Revit we can; save PDF's to server, export DWG/DXF to server, and for a few moments after opening a file we can save a .rvt file to the server. But after more than ~2min, Revit freezes at any save attempt and we have to force quit through the task manager.
Last few lines of journal entry for event reads as follows.
[ Jrn.Directive "DocSymbol" _ , "[Res.TemplateLionTest.rvt]" ' 0.000008 2:<<<BackupFileManager:reUnlockPreCommit ' 0.003275 3:<<<relinquishAllLocks ' 0.003386 2:<<m_oSaveToTempFile->preCommit ' 2:< Error encountered renaming main file to backup. Error message: Access to P:ProjectsXXXXX ProjectCADRevitRes.TemplateLionTest.rvt was denied. ]
then repeats the '2:< Error... line for a few pages..
this error has persisted throught Revit 2011 and 2012 versions.
I'm testing out a Revit Server configuration with a local server on one site connected to a central sever at another site. So far the testing has gone fine but we've run into a snag. The public IP address at the site of the central server has changed because of a change in ISPs. Now I'm unable to figure out how to update the IP addres settings for the central server that the local server connects to..
I've tried running the install again but it won't run since the software is already installed. I've tried running a repair. I've tried logging into Revit Server Administrator but there is no option to change the IP address of the central server it connects to.
We are trying to implement Revit server in our organisation. We have installed Revit server on windows 2013 server. We are able to connect to our local server and sync and relinquish the revit model. We had setup another server in our branch office. Now, how to sync the revit model in the local server to the server in branch office. We are able to see both the servers in revit server admin and also copy paste files through browser.
I am repathing all the autocad files on our server. I also need to repath the Revit Links. Is there a way to do this programatically? We have too many links to do this manually.
We have set up Revit 2013 and it works fine for creating folders and subfolders. I followed the Autodesk process step by step on creating a new file in the revit server. Everything is fine, but when I hit save an error message appears saying that the file cannot be saved. When I log into revitserver i see the new file, but I cannot delete, lock it, or use it at all.
How we can lock the files to be able to delete from the revit server?
As a side note:
Unless Autodesk is planning on getting rid of revit server they should really invest into the documentation and troubleshooting.
I receive this error when testing eTransmit for Revit 2013. "etransmit encountered an error while trying to contact the server". Oddly, it is only a problem with on host, and not the other.
I just upgraded the server for our small firm to OS X Lion. The share is accessible from Windows and all permissions are the same as they were before the upgrade. I can manipulate and open files in other programs in Windows, but everytime I try to open a .rvt or .rfa file in Revit from the server I get "Failed to open document". I can open .dwg files fine in Autocad, and I can even insert .dwg and images from the server into an open revit file.
See specs below:
RAC 2011 File Server: Mac Pro running OS X 10.7.1 Windows 7 running in Parallels desktop
We are working in revit server with two clients . recently we installed one more Lacal server and i checked the speed and all but whenever i try to open heavy file ( 300 Mb file ) from revit server it giving error after some time that server not responding and not open the file . but i checked 15 to 30 mb file it working in same server . Is their any size limitation in revit server . My internet speed is ok that time . So i think its related to revit server
I copy a .dwg to my remote computer and open it. Then .dwl and .dwl2 are created in same local folder as the .dwg I just opened localy. Then I copy the local .dwl and .dwl2 files back to the remote server in the same location I received the origional .dwg from. Why are those files not locked now from everybody on the network that I am remotly away from?
To convert from imperial to metric multiply the length, in inches, by 25.4 (the number of millimeters per inch).
Example: 3 inches converted to millimeters is 3*25.4 or 76.2mm.
To convert from metric to imperial multiply the length, in millimeters, by 0.03937 (the number of inches in a millimeter). For greater accuracy use 0.03937008.
Example: 100 millimeters converted to inches is 100*0.03937 or 3.937 inches.
I just started working with a sublimation printer - We have a lot of different products and I am wondering - can I create a library where I can layout/create all my (box, circle, etc) containers to place my photos in on a specific size page. We may use several diff containers on each page. I would love to create one library and work from there?
I am using AutoCAD 2012 and have made lots of different files with individual drawings in them. I am planning to go into each drawing file and create a block for the drawing. After that I want to make all the blocks available in one drawing.
I want to create and name my own colors. To start with, I put the default RGB palette into "show color names" mode, and I then intend to add to the palette colors which I have named for my own purposes, and then delete the colors I dont need.
I have put the palette so it floats, which is more convenient for me, and I want to extend the palette down so that I can see most of the color names immediately, for example this is easy to do in CorelPainter.
I find that I cant extend the floating palette window beyond the default size, even though, when I select the window, arrows appear at the edges and corners of the palette, as if it is possible to move them. I find that the whole desktop turns grey, and a sort of secondary palette window appears momentarily and flutters on and off.
I am in the middle of creating a library of symbols that I will need in a drawing. I have created around 10 symbols so far and I thought I'd insert them to see what they look like. When I drew them, all the lines were very smooth and they looked very neat but when I inserted them into the drawing they came out looking horrible with sharp lines and hatching going into areas which I closed off with boundaries. Also the text has changed on some of the symbols from the standard font to a very thin ugly looking font. A couple symbols which I have made into dynamic blocks no longer has the dynamic element to them so I cant stretch them as needed. Any know why this is happening? Or how to fix this?? When the symbols are being inserted it says "the definition has been changed"
I am using inventor 2013. I am doing some standardization process to make design drawing.How can i create library for "Symbols" so i can use it in any drawing?
Thing is, I am creating a symbol in drawing and using it many times in one sheet.Now when i prepare a next drawing, i can not use the same symbol.so what i have to do is i have to create a symbol everytime for each drawing.I am not able to maintain consistency.
I want to create a library of details. Many of these details are things like ADA Requirement Information and things that may or may not be in each project. So, lets say i have 100 details and 10 to 20 are used in every project, while the remainder depends on Code requirement. How should I store these? Should I make a family for every detail? Is there a way to import just a Drafting View into a project, so that I can create all of my details in 1 project file?
I am using Revit 2013 and have built a material library for the company I work for. It has been working fine up until about an hour ago. Now when I try to open up the material library I created it says "No assets in this library". I can't figure out why there is nothing there. And I don't want to have to recreate all my materials I already created! I can still find the file in my folders and it says theres 3930 KB of information in the file. I included a picture of what my Assest Editor and Asset Browser show when I try to open my library.
I created a material asset library for the company I work for with all of our materials in it. I was making adjustments earlier today to the library and now when I open it nothing shows up. It claims there is nothing in my file but yet the file size is 58,118 kb. How to get it back without having to completely redo the whole library!?
I had to uninstall the material library from my C drive. I have a dedicated SSD OS drive with very little extra space to spare.
Now that I need the material library again, when I try to install it, the installer still insists on using 1.2 GB on C.I've browsed for the new drive letter, and the little pop up window still shows it using no space on any other drive, and 1.2 on C.
