Shredded Storage (CAD AND DWG FILES)

Does SharePoint 2013 Shred CAD and DWG files?
Versioning for non-office document is 'delta' or 'full copy versions'?

Everything is shredded, it cannot be disabled. As for the delta, that relies on Cobalt, which handles Office-format files.

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.

Backup or Storage Question and Default File Location

I just got a EX2 6TB and I am very new to this concept of cloud storage.I have my EX2 in RAID 1. I have two questions: 1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that? I want to use this primarily as storage and move files from my computer, which is full, to the EX2. But, if I use the EX2 as storage then I assume I need a backup system - another EX2 or separate external drive. 2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work? Thanks! Mike

Hello and welcome to the WD Community.
1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?
1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that?
Yes, you can use that as both. Just make sure to map the drive properly and it will show within your network and you will be able to copy and paste files to it manually and to access to the drive directly.
2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work?
Not sure if you will be able to set the unit as a primary storage for all of your applications. Some of them will not allow you to save directly to a network unit.

Attach CAD and Vectorworks file

I'm using
Acrobat 8 pro
iMac 24" 2.4GHz intel
OSX 10.4.11
I was successful attaching vectorwoks 2008 file (.vwx) to my PDF file. The attached files looks normal with the vectorworks icon in the pdf. attach file panel, I can save the attached .vwx file to my desktop and double click the file to open.
I don't know what happen all the sudden, the icon of the .vwx turn blank and when I save attached .vwx file to my desktop, I cannot open the file by double clicking the file. It turn into unrecognized file format. I have to open the file from "open" menu in Vectorworks.
Any suggestion?

Not possible with Acrobat JavaScript.

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.

Viewing and printing a .dwg file

I am using the pro version of adobe acrobat. I try opening a .dwg file and it seems to revert to an 8.5 x 11.00 in rather than the original 24.0 x 36.0 in size. How can I get the file to open to original size?

Something to try.
For Windows, get to the Control Panel > Printers.
Select Adobe PDF, right click to open the Preferences.
Open the Advanced tab. Now, click on the 'Printing Defaults' button.
Mid-point in the tab's dialog use the drop-down menu for "Adobe PDF Page Size" to select "Arch D".
Click the Apply button and 'OK' out.
Now, with Acrobat open go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the category "Convert to PDF".
Select the appropriate entry present in the "Converting To PDF" column.
Click the "Edit Settings" button.
Use the dialog to provide additional configuration selections.
From Acrobat, File > Create PDF > From File
Browse to and select a DWG.
Acrobat will call up the associated native CAD application to process the file through PDFMaker.
n.b., will have to have compatible Acrobat / CAD alignment.
Ought have an Arch D (24x26) page size for the output PDF.
Be well...

VirtualDisk on Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Pool stuck in "Warning: In Service" state and all file transfers to and from is awfully slow

Greetings,
I'm having some trouble with my Windows Storage Pool and my VirtualDisk running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 installation. It consists of 8x Western Digital RE-4 2TB drives + 2x Western Digital Black Edition 2TB drives and have been configured in a single-disk
parity setup and the virtual disk is running fixed provisioning (max size) and is formatted with ReFS.
It's been running solid for months besides some awful write-speeds at times, it seems like the write performance running ReFS compared to NTFS is not that good.
I was recommended to add SSD's for journalling in order to boost write-performance. Sadly I seemed to screw up this part, you need to due this through PowerShell and it needs to be done before creating the virtualdisk. I managed to add my SSD to the Storage
Pool and then remove it.
This seem to have caused some awkward issues, I'm not quite sure of why as the virtualdisk is "fixed" so adding the SSD to the Storage Pool shouldn't really do anything, right? But after I did this my virtual disk have been stuck in "Warning:
In Service" and it seems to be stuck? It's been 4-5 days and it's still the same and the performance is currently horrible. Moving 40GB of data off the virtual disk took me about 20 hours or so. Launching files under 1mb of the virtual disk takes several
minutes etc.. It's pretty much useless.
The GUI is not providing any useful information about what's going on. What does "Warning: In Service" actually imply? How am I supposed to know how long this is supposed to take? Running Get-Virtualdisk in PowerShell does not provide any useful
information either. I did try to do a repair through the Server Manager GUI but it goes to about 21% within 2-3 hours but drops back down to 10%. I have had the repair running for days but it wont go past 21% without dropping back down again.
Running repair through PowerShell yields the same results, but if I detach the virtual disk and then try to repair through PowerShell (the GUI wont let me do repair on detached virtual disks) it will just run for a split second and then close.
After doing some "Googeling" I've seen people mentioning that the repair is not able to finish unless I have at least the same amount of free space in the Storage Pool as the largest drive in my Storage Pool is housing so I added a 4TB drive as
due to me running fixed provisioning I had used all the space in the pool but the repair is still not able to go past 21%.
As am running "fixed provisioning" I guess adding a extra drive to the pool doesn't do much difference as it's not available for the virtual disk? So I went ahead and deleted 3 TB of data on the virtual disk so now I've got about 4 TB free space
on the virtual disk so there should be plenty of room for Windows Server 2012 R2 to re-build the parity or whatever it's trying to do but it's still the same, the repair wont move past 21% and the virtual disk is still stuck in "Warning: In Service"
mode and the performance keeps being horrible so taking a backup will take forever at these speeds...
Am I missing something here? All the drives in the pool is working fine. I have verified using various bootable tools so why is this happening and what can I do to get the virtual disk running at full state again? Why doesn't the GUI prompt you with any
kind of usable information?
Best regards, Thomas Andre

Hi,
Please run chkdsk /f /r command on the virtual disk to have a try. In the meantime, run the following commands in PowerShell to share the output.
get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> | get-physicaldisk | fl
get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> |fl

Mandy

Opening CAD/DWG files on a Mac

Hi,
Please can someone suggest a freeware CAD/DWG viewer - Im not fussed about editing the file - for Mac.
I know AutoDesk offer True View but that is only for Windows, the only software I have found is eDrawings from Solidworks; but after downloading the program I've found it to be a poor system to view DWG files.
So does anyone know of any free alternatives?
Thanks

I searched versiontracker for DWG CAD

Storage for jpg, files and photoshop files??

Premier elements. How to store HUGE amount of one's notes(Word & Excel), jpg, and Photoshop files away from computer to save memory?? Used Adobe's library, but now only accepts 50 files a month.
Extremely low budget production. High quality work. Thanks for any suggestion

vumadave
How does all this relate to Premiere Elements?
By Adobe's library, I am assuming that you are referring to Adobe Revel. If so, you can get more storage space at Adobe Revel by upgrading your free membership (I believe that there is a fee associated with that).
What I prefer to do is store such files on an USB 2.0 or 3.0 external hard drive which is formatted NTFS, not FAT32. These drives come in a variety of capacities, come in desktop of portable hand held types, and can be plug and play. You can look for these drives on sale. Probably can find 1 TB under $100.00 US dollars.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store has no idea how to find out what is in it let alone how to clear it so I can upgrade to iOS 7. He thinks my iPad is not really deleting things but storing it here.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can i use Photoshop Elements to view .DWG files (Cad)

Does Photoshop Elements support .DWG files? Maybe with a plugin or similar.

No PSE does not support .DWG format
You can use the convertor http://www.fileguru.com/DWG-To-TIFF-Converter/info to convert DWG to TIFF and then use it in PSE.

Cloud storage for mac and pc files

I am presently PC user that uses Carbonite for my cloud backup. I am going to be switching to the new iMac soon. I plan on using a Parallel or Fusion so I can continue using Photodex, Quickbooks for PC and Quicken for PC. I understand that Carbonite can only backup either Apple or PC files, not both on the same account. Are there any other cloud storage options that will back up both Apple and PC files?

DropBox dos do it automatically, & outside of their 2 GB fre, I've seen far better deals, but with my slw Internet, I only use local backups, & didn't note those deals.

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.
