Auto Publish Settings and Workspaces

AutoCAD General: AutoCAD 2012 - Thu, 2013-05-09 02:01

When I created our custom profile ".arg" file, with two custom workspaces along with the OTB workspaces. I set the Auto Publish Settings to publish to PDF on Exit. With 50+ users, each can create thier own workspace for thier liking.

I have some users that like the feature, and others that do not. The ones that do not like the feature, want to turn the feature off.

So the question is if, under each individual workspace, we uncheck the Auto Publish feature, then save that workspace, is the feature turn off for JUST that workspace? Or does it cut the feature off for all workspaces?

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Properties and selections in 2014

AutoCAD General: AutoCAD 2013 - Wed, 2013-05-08 23:42

So apparently they changed the pickadd system variable. Picking objects automatically deselects the last object now. I changed that after it drove me crazy for a few days.

My problem is PROPERTIES. When I select objects now, they are not recognized in the PROPERTIES selection set. It's as if the dialog is not recognizing any selections. I have looked through the obvious system variables and nothing is sticking out at me. Anyone have any ideas?

Freeze layers in xref'd viewports by selecting them in the viewport

AutoCAD General: AutoCAD 2013 - Wed, 2013-05-08 21:37

In previous versions of Autocad 2008 and earlier you could start a new drawing xref in a drawing then switch to layout and create a viewport that would show the xref. Then you could click inside that viewport and run the FL (freeze layer) command and selectively freeze layers by clicking on them.

In my current version of Autocad Civil 3D 2010, when I follow the same steps as above and run the FL (freeze layer) command inside the viewport, the entire layer contents within the viewport freeze as if everything is on that one layer.

I notice that if I pull up the layer manager box and go down the list of xref'd layers and select the freeze in viewport option for each of the layers I need to freeze it will do what I need to have done, But I'd like to be able to be able to selectively freeze these layers visually within the viewport like I've always been able to do, instead scrolling down a long list of layer names and freezing them that way.

Does anyone know how to do this in Civil 3D 2010 ????

fixture doesn't stay rotated

AutoCAD General: AutoCAD 2013 - Wed, 2013-05-08 18:57

I have a base plan with some light fixtures that need to be rotated 180.

Yesterday, I rotated the fixtures then saved the file. Then I closed the file and emailed it. When I reopened it, the fixtures were rotated back, but the file I emailed was properly rotated. I saved over our file with the one that I emailed, and all seemed fine yesterday. This morning I open it and everything’s rotated incorrectly again.

Why does this keep happening and what can I do about it?

ACAD 2013 Command Copy issue sets base point to 0,0,0 and objects vanish

AutoCAD General: AutoCAD 2013 - Wed, 2013-05-08 18:47

Using the Copy(multiple) command button with the following sequence (working correctly):

Copy command, window objects to copy, right click to close selection, pick base point,

pick new location point(s),...right click to close the command.

But sometimes it decides to do this:

Using the same Copy(multiple) command button with the following sequence (not working correctly):

Copy command, window objects to copy, right click to close selection, pick base point...

At this point the copy comand closes out. It has assumed a single copy, 0,0,0 base point

& tossed the copied objects out in model space accordingly. But as stated it only does this sporatically.

Any clues why?

Thank you for your help.

Next / Previous Sheet Number Field

AutoCAD General: AutoCAD 2013 - Wed, 2013-05-08 17:04

I've seen this question asked a couple of different times, but no answer was ever given.

I am using Sheet Set Manager. I can use a field that will enter the sheet number on each layout. I am looking for a way to have a field use this number and minus 1 or add 1 to get the sheet before and sheet after the current sheet.

I see there is a way to use a diesel expression, but I don't know how to use this.

Thanks for any help

Doug
