The same can be said about the ability to Scale. You do have the option of when and where the file is to inserted. There is no option to deselect the “Insert as Block”. This allows the ability to select either a single page or multiple pages to insert. If the file has multiple pages then these are all “Previewed”. It is then a simple case of selecting the Browse button, navigating to and selecting the required pdf drawing file. The process then is very straight forward.
A fairly minor process and when completed automatically takes you back to the PDF Import screen. Despite having “Registered” my DraftSight account (numerous times in the past) it still insisted that I, in fact, didn’t have an Account and that I was required to register for a “new” Account. Once installed you will find the the Add-In under Insert>PDF Import When you select the PDF Import for the first time, you are required to jump through a few hoops to have it activated. It’s a reasonable straight forward process to download and install the Add In The PDF Import for DraftSight Add-In is available from the Graebert website (the developer of DraftSight for Dassualt Systémes) There is a 30day free trial! Which is a generous time to evaluate to see if you can’t live without the product, or if it doesn’t suit your requirements. With all that said I have a couple of thought to where having the ability to convert a pdf into a editable drawing format maybe of use for our requirements. More importantly these days manufactures are also becoming far more willing to supply the 3D model. I’m fortunate that most of the time if I require a drawing (especially vehicle plans) that it is available via the manufacturer. People still like Floor Plans, so I’m told! Although we do receive drawings in pdf I don’t ever recall having the desperate “need” to have a pdf made into a editable drawing format. SWOOD looks to be close to our requirements (but that’s a whole other story for another time) I also still produce “Floor Plans” for Marketing.
This looks to be the case until I can find an acceptable Add-In to SOLIDWORKS which can not only do the job properly but can be made to talk to our CNC. Yes, we still export dxf (and manually nest) for importing into our CAM program – Enroute. With our main use of DraftSight being for nesting dxf exported out of SOLIDWORKS. My use of DraftSight is reasonable limited these days. Then launch Civil 3D and you should see the setup initializing dialog box and this is recreating the folders we just deleted and your AutoCAD profile for Civil 3D will be recreated.Last week on the SOLIDWORKS Tech Blog there was an interesting post on a PDF Import Add-In for DraftSight. (Don't worry this folder will be recreate when you launch Civil 3D the first time) (It always a good idea to back-up the registry keys your modify or deleting in case something goes wrong)Īfter you save the exported registry folder, delete the ACAD-F000:409 folder that you just exported Select and then right-click on the ACAD-F000:409 folder and choose export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\ACAD-F000:409 Navigate to this location in the registry editor: Then open the registry editor you can do this by going to the run prompt and type regedit then hit enter and this will pull up the registry editor
Navigate to both these locations on your C: drive and delete the C3D 2015 or C3D 2016 folder depending on which version your trying to fix.Ĭ:\Users\NamedUsers\AppData\Local\Autodesk\C3D 2016Ĭ:\Users\NamedUsers\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2016 If this doesn't resolve the issue then you'll need to try resetting your AutoCAD user profile. You should be able to resolve the issue by turning off the level of detail function by typing LEVELOFDETAILOFF in the command line. This issue is usually caused by a few things either the Level of Detail is turned on in the drawing your working in and this can cause the issue or a possible corrupt user profile. Its act likes it's ignoring the selected drawing and typing in the command line that is in background or hidden. Have you ever seen or hear of someone trying to type a command in the command line in Civil 3D 2015 or 2016, and it does not show up and it was working before?įor example you type plot in the command line and it does not show up or you notice it flipped to another drawings command line if you have multiple drawings open.
