Can't Edit AutoCAD Drawings (Error 1415)

I like to copy AutoCAD drawings directly from AutoCAD model space and paste them into Visio.  Usually I can edit the drawing in AutoCAD by double clicking on the drawing in Visio.  However, certain drawings keep giving me the "1415" error
stating that is is unable to open the drawing.  Sometimes the drawings open, but most times they don't.  I have resaved the drawings in older versions of AutoCAD to make sure this wasn't a compatibility issue.  Is there a way to fix this error? 
Thanks

Hi,
Based on my research, if we choose to do a custom installation of Microsoft Visio with all Add-ons marked as "install on first use", and attempt to edit an embedded AutoCad
(CAD) object, the error message may appear.
In order to display and work with inserted AutoCad (CAD) objects in Microsoft Visio,
we must install the CAD Drawing component.
 Following the steps to do so:
Click
Start menu, click Control Panel.
Click
Programs and Features.
Select
Microsoft Visio Premium 2010, and then click
Change.
Click
Add or Remove Features, then click
Continue.
Expand
Microsoft Visio,  Add-ons
(US units)
by clicking the plus sign.
Click
CAD Drawing.
Click
Run from My Computer.
Click
Continue.

    How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion?
    I keep getting an error message with my google calendar, and I heard that if I delete the extra slash at the end of the address the problem will be fixed. But the iCal account preferences take me to system preferences > accounts every time I want to edit the account.
    Does anyone know where I can edit the server address?

  • Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc?  How do I delete a place I have set up?

    Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc?  How do I delete a place I have set up?  Then I could create a new, correct entry.  I'm using iPhoto '09.

    Is it OK to reply to my own question?? Thanks to the related posts that appeared AFTER I'd made the post above, I learnt about the 'Manage my places' item under the Windows menu. I felt a bit dumb not knowing this.
    BUT it doesn't completely resolve the issue.  The info shown in the EXIF (using opt-cmd-I) under Places has the place name I choose, but it is followed by a few other lines that are incorrect and do not seem to be anything to do with any data I can see under 'Manage my places'.
    Can anyone explain where these other entries might come from, and how to edit them?

  • How can I edit .avi files in FCPX?

    What's the best way to convert .avi files so they can be edited in FCPX and then "shared" with iPad and Apple TV2? Definition of best meaning least amount of time and effort without noticeable degradation of quality. I'm an advanced amateur photographer with increasing interest in video but limited knowledge of the technical aspects.
    Now shooting HD with a DSLR camera but have over 100 hours of home/family video taken with Canon GL1 (mini-DV tape) then captured using Sony Vegas Pro. Captured files are .avi, NTSC, 29.97, 720x480, interlaced, 15 minutes or less duration.
    Re-capturing original DV tapes to FCPX would be very time consuming. Don't know why but Vegas Pro 8 running on my older PC (Windows XP) refuses to render out to any of the QuickTime presets including uncompressed. Have Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, FCPX and Compressor running on new iMac.
    My "trial and error" approach isn't working. Main problem seems to be with de-interlacing. Have converted .avi files to ProRes 422 using both Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Interlacing "jaggies" are apparent with both when edited in FCPX. Jaggies can be eliminated using combinations of "progressive" field order and "blend frame" output option but this results in artifacts and/or noticeably soft image. Best results so far are by converting .avi to ProRes 422 using Adobe preset (lower field first) then using Apple Compressor's "Apple Device: SD for iPad …" output preset to convert the ProRes 422 to .m2v. Still seems a little fuzzy on iPad but maybe my eyes are just wearing out from all the hours I've spent on this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your time and any help you can pass along. The more I work with FCPX, the better I llike it.

    MPEG-4 isn't nearly enough information. There are many other factors that determine whether it will work in FCP. Many MPEG-4 files can be imported and optimized directly into the application.

  • Can I export/share a line file from free CC as pdf or illus cs2 file so client can view/edit?

    I can't find a clear answer to this really simple question so I hope someone here can help me.
    I haven't purchased my ink and slide yet, or used any of the creative cloud software. Before I do I want to make sure I understand what I can share with Line and the free level of CC. I want to use them for a particular client who is still old school. So... If I have a drawing created in Line on my ipad and a client with an older macbook pro, still running CS2 (so osx 10.6.8), and I have an ipad with Line and a free Creative Cloud membership (but no CC versions of Adobe software other than Line), is it possible to:
    send her a pdf she can open and print?
    send her a file she can open/edit/print in CS2?
    send her anything she can open and/or edit and/or print?
    Print something I can mail to her.
    I guess I'm basically asking: what are my limitations for sharing/printing Line drawings with only the free CC membership?

    Short answer is No.
    Be aware the free level of CC is for CCStorage only. Although they don't mention it you need a Creative Cloud Subscription (which includes all their pro desktop applications) to export Vectors.
    If your friend has a CC subscription you might ask her to log in using her details and transfer the files that way

  • How Can I Edit a Gantt?

    We have a "Project Details" PDP and I believe our "Project Portfolio" gantt view on our home page is based off of that.   In SharePoint, I can edit a gantt.  But, I cannot seem to edit the gantt inside Project Portfolio (receive
    an error message that it cannot be edited).  I opened the gantt view settings and I did not see anything about "read only", etc. 
    We have about 100 projects (simple metadata for them like #, name, start date, stop date, etc.) that we'd like to add to the gantt, but I do not want to have to add one project at a time via  Projects tab > New > Enterprise Project. 
    I'm obviously VERY new to Project Server...but there just has to be a way to copy/paste a list of gantt contents from Excel to Project Server, right?!  If we can do it today in SharePoint, surly it can be done in Server. 
    Your help is most appreciated!

    Hello,
    Not that much clear :) but let me try to give you some hints:
    You cannot edit schedule directly from the project center page (what you call your home page)
    Project schedule can be edited project by project on each project site, using the PDP called: schedule
    Projects need to be checked out before edit and checked in when done, a checked out file cannot be edited by other persons
    You need to be member of the project to be able to edit it, exception to the server admin who can do almost everything.
    You might check some of those info, please send update if this does not help you, and give more details

    Right click your document, hover over "Open with..." and then click "Other".
    Find TextEdit and click "Open".
    TextEdit will then do it's best to open your document.
    If you have iLife, do the same but instead of opening with TextEdit open with Numbers, Pages, Keynote, e.t.c.

    windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

    Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
    The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
    And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
    (If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
    And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
    (If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
    I hope it helps.

  • Message says can't edit because "already editing", except no one is!

    So, here's the deal: My client got a new computer and
    installed the latest version of Contribute on that new computer.
    But then when she went to edit her website content through
    Contribute, she got a message saying "You can't edit this page
    because you're already editing it on another computer." So then she
    went and double checked that she did not have any drafts on her old
    computer, and she did not. She could, however, still edit pages
    from her old computer. Unfortunately, though, this is not a good
    long term solution. After she contacted me (the site
    administrator), I manually deleted the settings file in the _mm
    folder and allowed a new settings file to be created, (which went
    fine). I also manually deleted the .LCK files for site pages. She
    still wasn't able to edit any pages from her new computer, same
    error. So then I deleted her user profile and sent her a new
    connection key. Same thing. Then I sent someone else in my client's
    business a separate connection key, and when trying to edit, this
    second person got the message "You can't edit this page because X
    is already editing it on another computer" ("X" being the first
    person). The same message comes up regardless of the page that
    either one of them try to edit. In trying to figure out what might
    be going on, it seems that it might have to do with the fact that
    the version on my client's older computer is CS2, but on the newer
    computer it is CS3. I'm tempted to suggest that my client uninstall
    Contribute from her old computer, but if she does that and then it
    STILL doesn't work, then she will have no way to edit the site at
    all, and she will be even MORE frustrated than she already is! I've
    tried setting Contribute admin preferences to both "transition
    mode" and "compatibility mode" - it doesn't seem to make a
    difference. Could anyone tell me how this problem might be
    resolved? I/we would be very, very grateful. Thank you.

    Hello there, I'm also getting this problem with a client of mine, she's about to have a heart attack from the stress this is causing her.
    Bascially she had Contribute 3 but her system died we got another one up and running for her and installed Contribute 3 and some time after she started getting the problems reported above. Since then I have removed contribute from her computer and any other computer that she had used it on. She's even upgraded to Contribute 4. I've deleted all .lck files I can see on the web server and she still gets this error.
    I've tried re-creating the connection as in one of the above posts and no luck. When I watch this folder C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Contribute CS4\en_GB\Sites\Site1 I can see the .lck files being created as soon as I clcik edit so this has to be a contribute issue even if remove the .lck files I'm still stuck in a loop. This only happens on the home page index.html all other pages can be changed.
    To be honest I can't believe that a company as big Adobe can let this situation go on for so long. Maybe it would be a good idea to have an over-ride for this. After all it is supposed to be a working product all be it end of life. I can say now, there is no way I could ever reccoemnd this or any other updated product at the moment simply because I can't be sure that Adobe will fix and issue or even care.

  • How can I edit a post I've already posted?

    I saw a button that said "Edit this post." I clicked it and got a notice that I must log in before editing my post. I was already logged in. Completed the longin info again, but still kept getting the message that I had to log in first. Closed Safari, reopened, re-logged in, went to the post, and then the button for editing the post was gone.
    I see some discussion in this forum, but have not found a post telling exactly how to make the edit function work. Nor do I get results searching on "edit" or "edit post" or "edit forum post."
    Nor do I find any mention of this in the Help section.
    I did see one place where a person was asking a host to edit one of his posts. This could imply we can't edit our own posts; but then what is the edit button on a posted post for? In any case, it seems there should be some info about this somewhere, and perhaps the dialog box could be more explanitory (as in saying we must log in, when we already are).
    Thank you.
    I WAS able to edit THIS message. This time the Edit button worked. Maybe the other time was a fluke, or maybe there is a time limit on hitting the Edit button. But again, why was that guy asking a host to do his editing. Any clarification would be helpful. Alas, I now see only two choices: a button to Discard and Cancel, and a button to Edit Message. I'll go with the latter and see if it means "Post."

    Hi ChicagoLarry!
    If the 15 minute, Edit time span has elapsed, but you still have the post that you want to edit, open in a browser window, the  Edit icon, will still be evident.
    But as you have discovered, if you click on it, you will be asked to login, which doesn't really make any sense.
    Ideally, the message would be more like "You're allotted time to edit this post has expired."
    I've made a suggestion to the Hosts.
    Also, each time you edit an entry, the edit time is extended.
    For example, if you edit a post 10 minutes after the initial time of posting, you will then have another 15 minutes, in which to edit again.
    Each subsequent edit, adds another 15 minutes.
    The discretionary editing of posts, by the Hosts, is usually done only for violations of the TOU, posted personal info, serial numbers, Email addresses, posting of commercial Websites, etc., not for misspellings, punctuation, or other minor posting errors.

  • How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

    When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.
