DWF to PDF Conversion

$

0

Hello,

 

I have about 400 drawings from a customer.  I can't open them all up at once in the Design Review for some reason. It's only one at a time.  Is there a way where I can clump them together and convert them to PDF?  Or do you know of a converter that works well? So far I have not had any luck!


Dynamic block Rotary parameters work but...

$

Hello,

 

I have this block of a PLC card. The last three digits of an IP address are selectable by the user. The three digits are selected via rotary switches in the dynamic block, there are a couple of lookup tables. I created three attributes with Fields that update per one of the Lookup tables. All three are like the attached graphic.

 

The problem comes if a person tries to update via the attributes instead of the rotarty switches. Once you input numbers into the attributes, the block is hosed.

 

I don't really need to have input via the attributes. I could put a warning on the block in DEFPOINTS layer or in the attribute prompts but would rather just block user input into those particular attributes. I have attached the block for anybody's inspection.

 

Thanks for any ideas

 

ANGBASE / ANGDIR

$

I want my text to read right to left at 0°. I set ANGBASE=0 and ANGDIR=0 and all is well for a short period of time. Then it changes

back, to ANGBASE=1, ANGDIR=90. It doesn’t matter where I make the correct settings to 0 (my DWT file, my current file, etc.) these

settings go back even during the same drafting session.

 

Any ideas?

Update License certificate with upgrade?

$

I have purchased AutoCAD2015 along with the Subscription.  I received a License Certificate via email comprised of information and serial no/prod key values unique to the AutoCAD2015 product.  Not long after I received notificaiton regarding an avaiable upgrade to AutoCAD2016.  Easy enough and actually did so thru the Subscription management area.  Thus the AutoCAD2016 came along with it's own unique serial number and product key.

Hence, my inquiry today concerns a now existing descreprency between the informatino on my existing License and the info relative to my new upgrade product.

should I have received an updated license certificate?

should I obtain one?

Newbie - .NET insert object Autocad in background

$
0
0

I am new to Autocad customization, so would appreciate any help!

 

We want to be able to insert an object with data attributes into an Autocad drawing based on whether a field in a database requests it or not.  Ideally, the command would not be initiated by Autocad, but another program running outside of Autocad (VB or C#) and an SQL database, but Autocad can be running in the background somewhere.  The drawing would be stored in a directory and the program would open the drawing, insert the object, revise the data, then close the drawing.

 

Is this possible, and is it straightforward?  Is using the .NET framework the best approach?

 

Would appreciate some beginning weblinks or tutorials to help me start researching this.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

 

Draw order for PSFILL hatches

I am trying to make a hatch using PSFILL / Grayscale / 20 and exporting a drawing as EPS file. There is some text and some lines in the hatch region which should be visible, i.e. drawn on top of the hatch. What I get is that some text is on top of the hatch and some text and lines are invisible/underneath the hatch.

Is there a way to controll the draw order for PSFILL hatch ?

Strange inadvertant UNDO has happened twice now.

$

While drafting, in the middle of another operation, the drawing file seems to behave as if I'd issued the UNDO>BACK or BEGIN command. I lose a bunch of work, it goes back to a state a few hours ago and redo does nothing. Undo does nothing. I'm stuck with the last BAK. The SV$ shows what the DWG does.

 

It's happen twice now in two days. Anyone know what's going on?

 

Last time I saved as a temp name and reopened the file from the hard drive and only lost a few minutes. Today I lost about half an hour .

Flattening AutoCad Error

$
0
0

I am working in AutoCad 2015. I did not know how or when it happened, but I just found that this whole time I was drawing all over the Z axis. The top view looks fine but when I turned to the left/right view, it is not sitting flat on the XY axis. How do I flatten this image? I've tried looking this up but neither FLATTEN or FLATSHOT command works. There has to be an easier way then just redrawing this whole file... 

 

Please help. 

Finals is in a week.
