PDF Layer Generation from DWG file

I am able to generate a PDF with layer controls (visible and invisible) when opening a DWG file from Acobat X. I however with same file can not generate the same layer controls by using Adobe.pc3 or DWGtoPDF.pc3 from AutoCAD. I either get the layer in the list or don't. I find that I can not generate the layer but have it non-visible at the same time.

I did find the .arx files and attempted to load to try run, but they won't. I'm sure this is because we are running 2012. As you pointed out they are not on the compatable list. Looks like it isn't going to happen. I do appeaciate your suggestion.
I realize it is asking a lot to get two application to pass information properly for each other. I had previously posted on the AutoDesk forum, too, with no solution.

Create a PDF file from DWG file

I would like to know how I can create from a DWG file ( autocad 2006/ 2008) a PDF file, using a computer whitout autocad installated on it. I use already PDF COMPLETE : I can create with this programm a PDF file from a word document but not from a DWG file.

You can use Acrobat X Pro. to convert your DWG files to PDF without having AutoCad on your system. Here is a chart with additional information.

Unable to create PDF from dwg Files

Hi All,
I suspect this question is old hat but if anybody can provide a solution it would be greatly appreciated. Acrobat 8.3.0 professional edition Windows XP sp3.
It used to work a long time ago but when I try to convert a dwg to PDF the message "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF". I looked at the "create PDF" options in preferences and only security options are shown for Autocad files so I know something is amiss.
I have tried adding a printer using the ini file in the xtras folder in Acrobat and when I look at printing preferences (before and then after the install) all the boxes are blank - again an indication something is wrong?
I have tried the repair function in the control panel - still no good.
Any (polite) suggestions other than buying X?
Many thanks

Interestingly, "PDFMOUTLOOK" is apparenly related to PDF Maker for Outlook. It has also been suggested to be Malware (not good). That would suggest you may have some corruption. I am not saying you do, but just what is hinted at by a web search.
In terms of the printing process. The Adobe PDF printer creates a PS file. With Acrotray active, this PS file causes Acrotray to activate Distiller in the background and complete the conversion of the PS file to PDF. That is the basic conversion process used by Acrobat to create PDF files. Distiller is always in the picture, it just may be running in the background. If Acrotray is not active, the process will stall. Since you are seeing a Distiller log screen, your process seems to be working.
PDF Maker is basically a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. The preprocessor inserts PDF Marks into the PS file that is created to allow the conversion to PDF to include bookmarks, links, etc. My suggestion about PDF Maker (since the print process seems to work) is that there may be something in PDF Maker that is causing the problem. From the web search, it appears it may even be a virus type of aspect that hit your PDF Maker. Again, I am not saying that is the case, only suggesting it as a possibility. If you can create the PDF from the printer, then the basic process of creating PDFs is working and it is then a process of checking out the problems with PDF Maker. For that, I typically suggest turning all of the options off and then adding them back in to see what triggers the problem. You are basically in a trouble shooting mode and need to isolate the problem.

Have you tried pulling the schema out of the wsdl and putting it in a xsd file and see if it validates?
Otherwise, have you tried removing the xmlns:"" from <WL5G3N0:definitions xmlns:"".

XMLBean generation from WSDL file

I have used workshop for weblogic 9.2 to generate web service from wsdl files. The problem is however, that the (XmlBean) code generated from the <wsdl:fault name="..... /> does not genetate a "Throwable" object. The resulting methods produced by the Web Services -> Generate Web Service... menu option produces code that cannot be compiled, because the (generated) throws clause uses an object that is not derived from Throwable.
Has anyone else had these symptoms? is there a fix?
Thanks
Alan

Can't creat PDF from .DWG file

Using the world's most popular CAD program. Can't create a PDF from Adobe 3D. Apparently Adobe 3D wants to open the file using my AutoCAD, but thinks AutoCAD is not on my computer???

Hi SWS,
Didn't find it here, but found the answer by Googling and getting pointed to an AECBytes article from Feb '06, which had updated Revit 3D Capture settings (settings more updated than what Adobe gives you!).
It's too bad the rotation tool is so unweildy and that the walkthru isn't right there with rotation, pan & zoom (crazy - no idea why that is). I need these to work in Reader for regular people, not computer/cad savvy types. Adobe 3D seems to have just great potential, but doesn't seem ready for prime-time yet on the PDF recipient end yet. Maybe version 8 is more polished/joe-regular-user friendly (which is what it's billed as if it's for use in Reader.
Thanks again for your help.

Copy multi-layer artwork from one file to another; keep layers...

I have an intricate drawing that has a portion I am drawing in a separate document. The layers in the second document do not exist in the destination document.
Is there a way to copy and paste the art so that the objects are kept to their separate layers, and at the same time, create those layers in the destination document when pasting the vectors?

Here is my approach when working with two files, lets say one is a base file, and from a separate file I have changes on layers, or multiple changes, (like varietys).Lets say there are 5 layers. I create another layer, (now there will be 6) call it "changes" lets say in the file with all the other 5 layers.
In Layer pallette, I drag all 5 layers into the 6 layer, they then become sublayers. Then I copy that 6 layer "changes" (with all 5 layers as sublayers) into my base file.
Now I can pull them out and re stack, rename or what have you.
What is cool in working like this if you select the enveloping layer by the "button" you can turn off sub layers and still move everything as a group if you need to position. Example of this would be a die on one layer and a background image on another. With the 'enveloping" layer selected you could turn off the image "sub" layer and by keeping the die layer on you could align by the die and once in postion, turn on the image sub layer.
hope this helps,
good luck

How to index text in TIFF and DWG files - and the attributes of the files

Hi all
Scenario
Portal installation with a TREX on the side (NW7.0).
No enterprise search involved.
Questions
1) Is it possible for the TREX to extract text from .DWG and .TIFF files in any standard way?
2) Is it possible to index custom properties that are maintained on a DWG-file and a TIFF-file? Or is it only the name and description fields that will be indexed?
3) If it is not possible for the TREX to extract text from DWG-files and TIFF-files, do you know of a third-party filter for TREX like dwgifilter for Microsoft software? http://www.dwgifilter.com/default.aspx
4) Would it be possible to code and implement your own python extension in order for OCR to work with the TREX? If yes, would this be a complicated or fairly easy task? Where would you start... ?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Martin

Hi,
my answers:
1) Is it possible for the TREX to extract text from .DWG and .TIFF files in any standard way?
for TIFF Not in the standard delivery. You have to develop this features.
for DWG? perhaps AutoCAD Interchange and Native Drawing Formats (DXF and DWG)
V. 2.5 - 2.6, 9.0 - 14.0, 2000i - 2002
see help.sap.com
2) Is it possible to index custom properties that are maintained on a DWG-file and a TIFF-file? Or is it only the name and description fields that will be indexed?
Within KM you can define some Meta-Properties. During upload of your documents you can maintain the values for this proerties for every file. It is possible to search for the content of the properties as well.
3) If it is not possible for the TREX to extract text from DWG-files and TIFF-files, do you know of a third-party filter for TREX like dwgifilter for Microsoft software? http://www.dwgifilter.com/default.aspx
I am not quite sure but I think there doesn't exist a third party solution for this.
4) Would it be possible to code and implement your own python extension in order for OCR to work with the TREX? If yes, would this be a complicated or fairly easy task? Where would you start... ?
You can implement your own python extention.
Add your coding for python extention in the default python extention code.
Best regards

How to make a searchable PDF from an AutoCAD DWG file

We have PDF files created from AutoCAD, but they are not searchable using Adobe Reader X. I checked the source DWG file to find what font was used, as suggested in an old post, and found that the DWG uses Arial font. I am not sure what version of AutoCAD was used to create the file, but I can open it with AutoCAD LT 2011. Can anyone guide me to a way to make searchable PDF files from these DWG files?

Ok, this is as I feared; something CAD programs are particularly likely to do is draw text with a pen, rather than use text. There might be options in AutoCAD to control this.

Printing to PDF from DWG

I try and print PDF's in AutoCad MEP 2009/2010 and I will loose information and or information does not show up on the finished PDF. What could be the problem? Help I have no faith that Adobe Acobat is doing its job. I am using Abobe Acrobat 8 Standard with all updates.

Yes, willing to help, printing to PDF form DWG would loose information such as layers and line type, and texts may not searchable, because regular PDF file does not store such information, and if you are using SHX fonts, then texts may not searchable in the PDF file.
AutoCAD 2009 has it’s build in PDF creation tool, please find it from the File -> publish menu, if you have many drawings need to be plotted, then DWG to PDF converter would accelerate this process, it makes things much easier for the printing settings.

Saving Layer setup for CAD dwg files

I am using Illustrator CS4. I have a number of maps in CAD dwg as line drawings using layers such as Background, Building, Building_Number _Bubble and many more. I can bring the dwg file into Illustrator and set up colours for the different layers, fill the polygons, set the order (which layer prints on top of which layer) etc.
Can I save the layer setup and apply it to the next map which has the same layers but shows a different location? If so how do I do it?
The result I want is to open the next dwg map in Illustrator and have all the layers appear the same as they did in the first map without resetting each layer individually.

You can use your first file as a template to make a file with Layers in the order and name you want. Make sure that Paste Remembers Layers is checked in the Layer flyout menu. Then just copy the original file. Paste into a new file, select all and delete. Then copy and paste from the second and ensuing files into each new file on the appropriate layer. They'll probably come in on Layer 1. Drag the colored square at the right of the layer (making sure it is a large square) to the layer you want.

Arbitrary waveform generation from large text file

Hello,
I'm trying to use a PXI 6733 card hooked up to a BNC 2110 in a PXI 1031-DC chassis to output arbitrary waveforms at a sample rate of 100kS/s. The types of waveforms I want to generate are generally going to be sine waves of frequencies less than 10 kHz, but they need to be very high quality signals, hence the high sample rate. Eventually, we would like to go up to as high as 200 kS/s, but for right now we just want to get it to work at the lower rate.
Someone in the department has already created for me large text files > 1GB with (9) columns of numbers representing the output voltages for the channels(there will be 6 channels outputting sine waves, 3 other channels with a periodic DC voltage. The reason for the large file is that we want a continuous signal for around 30 minutes to allow for equipment testing and configuration while the signals are being generated.
I'm supposed to use this file to generate the output voltages on the 6733 card, but I keep getting numerous errors and I've been unable to get something that works. The code, as written, currently generates an error code 200290 immediately after the buffered data is output from the card. Nothing ever seems to get enqued or dequed, and although I've read the Labview help on buffers, I'm still very confused about their operation so I'm not even sure if the buffer is working properly. I was hoping some of you could look at my code, and give me some suggestions(or sample code too!) for the best way to achieve this goal.
Thanks a lot,
Chris(new Labview user)

Chris:
For context, I've pasted in the "explain error" output from LabVIEW to refer to while we work on this. More after the code...
Error -200290 occurred at an unidentified location
Possible reason(s):
The generation has stopped to prevent the regeneration of old samples. Your application was unable to write samples to the background buffer fast enough to prevent old samples from being regenerated.
To avoid this error, you can do any of the following:
1. Increase the size of the background buffer by configuring the buffer.
2. Increase the number of samples you write each time you invoke a write operation.
3. Write samples more often.
4. Reduce the sample rate.
5. Change the data transfer mechanism from interrupts to DMA if your device supports DMA.
6. Reduce the number of applications your computer is executing concurrently.
In addition, if you do not need to write every sample that is generated, you can configure the regeneration mode to allow regeneration, and then use the Position and Offset attributes to write the desired samples.
By default, the analog output on the device does what is called regeneration. Basically, if we're outputting a repeating waveform, we can simply fill the buffer once and the DAQ device will reuse the samples, reducing load on the system. What appears to be happening is that the VI can't read samples out from the file fast enough to keep up with the DAQ card. The DAQ card is set to NOT allow regeneration, so once it empties the buffer, it stops the task since there aren't any new samples available yet.
If we go through the options, we have a few things we can try:
1. Increase background buffer size.
I don't think this is the best option. Our issue is with filling the buffer, and this requires more advanced configuration.
2. Increase the number of samples written.
This may be a better option. If we increase how many samples we commit to the buffer, we can increase the minimum time between writes in the consumer loop.
3. Write samples more often.
This probably isn't as feasible. If anything, you should probably have a short "Wait" function in the consumer loop where the DAQmx write is occurring, just to regulate loop timing and give the CPU some breathing space.
4. Reduce the sample rate.
Definitely not a feasible option for your application, so we'll just skip that one.
5. Use DMA instead of interrupts.
I'm 99.99999999% sure you're already using DMA, so we'll skip this one also.
6. Reduce the number of concurrent apps on the PC.
This is to make sure that the CPU time required to maintain good loop rates isn't being taken by, say, an antivirus scanner or something. Generally, if you don't have anything major running other than LabVIEW, you should be fine.
I think our best bet is to increase the "Samples to Write" quantity (to increase the minimum loop period), and possibly to delay the DAQmx Start Task and consumer loop until the producer loop has had a chance to build the queue up a little. That should reduce the chance that the DAQmx task will empty the system buffer and ensure that we can prime the queue with a large quantity of samples. The consumer loop will wait for elements to become available in the queue, so I have a feeling that the file read may be what is slowing the program down. Once the queue empties, we'll see the DAQmx error surface again. The only real solution is to load the file to memory farther ahead of time.
Hope that helps!

Animated gif from .ICO files - Indicates layer is partially locked

thanks for helping the non-graphics newb out...
trying to create my first animated gif. I have 8 .ico files that i converted to .png to open them. once all are open i try to combine into one file with 8 layers but am unable to do it!?!? If I click on the main layer in any file it shows as locked and says "Indicates layer is partially locked"

in any file it shows as locked and says "Indicates layer is partially locked"
That is normal. Just open the file you want to use as the base/background layer. Now open the file that will be the first layer up from that, press ctrl+a (cmd+a on a mac) to select all of it, then ctrl+c (cmd+c) to copy it. Switch back to the background layer, click in it, then press ctrl+v (cmd+v) to paste it and use the move tool to position it. Repeat for each layer. Note that layers in an animated gif do not play in front of hte base layer the way cartoon cels do, so that you see action in front of a backdrop. You must include everything you want to see at once in each layer.

How do I copy and paste a shape (or layer) from one file to another keeping all of its attributes?

Our department currently uses MS Paint to place varied colored boxes for callouts on top of screen figures used in our documentation. As you know, MS Paint is not a robust image editing application, and we are frustrated at its limitations (especially not having a "non-destructive" edit capability). Consequently, we are evaluating a trial version of PS to see how a workflow could be developed that would allow the department to use callout boxes "stored" in a PS file that could be applied in an easy, consistent manner to our screen figures (but also keep each callout box editable) using PS.
Consequently, in PS using the shape tool, I created a file with our colored boxes for callouts, each on its own layer. Now I am trying to determine how you copy and paste a box (or layer) from this file to a "working" file (one containing a screen figure), while keeping all of its attributes (color, line weight, being editable, etc.). I can't seem to find an option to do this. Is there? If not, is there another workflow in PS that you can recommend for this type of procedure?

Thanks - I used the Layer > Duplicate command and it worked great!
P.S. How do you drag and drop a layer? I tried dragging a layer to the other open image, but nothing happened. Do you have to hold down a specific key for this (I'm using Windows)?
