2. Can't Delete Layer Autocad

Sometimes while using AutoCAD, you want to delete a layer, but even after removing all entities from the layer in question, it will not purge. Hopefully the following troubleshooting will help.

AutoCad 2D:: How To Delete Unwanted Layers Jul 25, 2012. I have imported a dxf file from our Trimble handheld unit. The dxf has layers built into it that come straight from the trimble software. (ei, FENCE, TANK, WELL HEAD, FIELDLINE) I have custom built layers and linetypes for my.dwt file in Cad so I dont need the layers that followed the.

Causes
There are really only two causes. An entity is referencing the layer you are trying to delete, or it’s a corrupt drawing. Look for entities in these places:

• Block definitions
• Empty text strings
• Viewports with frozen layers

Solutions
Depending on the version of AutoCAD and 3rd party applications that you have:

• If you have Express Tools, use the Layer Merge command to merge entities from the mystery layer onto layer 0 (zero).
• Go to http://www.manusoft.com and take a look at SuperPurge. This tool will delete any referenced item using it’s hard purge method. This low cost tool is well worth it’s price.
• Find the entities that are referencing the layer you wish to delete and delete those entities, or move them to another layer.
  • Use BEDIT or REFEDIT to check your block definitions.
  • Turn on QTEXTMODE in order to see empty text strings.
  • If you have viewports, switch to each and make sure the layer isn’t frozen.

If none of these work, you may have a corrupt drawing. Try using WBLOCK to create a new drawing.

Lightroom :: 4.1 - How To Delete Unwanted Catalogue

I installed LR4 Beta, and imported some photos from my LR3 installation. Probably not the wisest approach I now realise.
Now that I have purchased LR4 (upgrade), and installed it including RC4.1 I realise that I have a catalogue that only contains the images I imported with the Beta version. I still have the original images, and sidecar files in my LR3 catalogue. What I want to do is remove the LR4 catalogue that I currenly have, and then export my catalogue from LR3 and import into LR4. I think I am OK with the Export / Import bit (I have Martin Evening's excellent book). What I don't know how to do is remove the catalogue, or contents thereof from LR4. I could of course just remove all the images from the catalogue by deleting them but I want to be careful here, as I got into this situation by doing things the wrong way in the first place.

AutoCAD Inventor :: New Style Missing From Local Styles / Yet Appears In All Styles?

We've created a new parts list style for a border.When the border tempalt file is on the c: drive...everything works hunky dory...parts list, revision tables, etc.But as soon as we copy and paste that border into the template library folder for new drgs...the parts list style is missing from the local styles?
So to make it appear on the new document...the style manager has to be set at all styles and the new parts list style has to be saved to the document?What aren't we doing to make it appear on the template?
Also note that because the drawing border template is in a template folder as part of the design projects...it is NOT editable...so it has to be edited outside the template folder.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensions Causing Unwanted Angles

The issue I have with Inventor 2010 is when i dimension a rectangle to be 44 in wide and 79 in height it becomes a slated rectangle. This event occurs on the work version of Inventor 2010.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reappearing (Unwanted) Work Planes

The problem I'm having, or what's annoying, is reappearing (visible) Work Planes. I have a number of parts in my assembly that I make invisible and visible on a regular basis and I find that when I make a part visible, the Work Planes of that part also become visible. It's very annoying and time consuming having to turn off the Work Planes when there's no need for them to be visible.
Is there a way to either make all Work Planes invisible or to permenantly make Work Planes invisible unless you specifically make them visible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IAssembly Table Unwanted Dimension Added

what the best way to show 2 different subassemblies based on the same iAssembly... I would expect a 'custom' option as there is from the content center. If I try and change the table for one, the other instance gets updated, and I would like it to stay the same. I understand that this would require a new 'branch' in the BOM holding the different sized parts, but there must be a way to accommodate this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension Styles To Different Sheets In IDW

Is there a way to assign different dimension styles to different sheets in an idw. I have idw drawings with several sheets and use a couple of different dimension styles depending on what is on each sheet. I've created the dimension styles I want to use but I don't know how to assign a dimension style to a specific sheet. For now what I am doing is dimensioning, then as needed for the dimensions that need a different style, right click on the dimension and select new dimension style to changes its dimension style. I would like to assign dimension styles to specific sheets, is there a way to do this? Even though borders, title blocks, etc. are the same throughout the sheets, do I need to create different sheet formats to do this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Keep Styles In (sync) Between Drawings?

What's the best way to ensure that all the drawings for my project are updated if I make changes to the Style settings on one of them? I've been putting every sheet into a single drawing file, but now I'm up to about 50 sheets and it takes about 40 seconds for each save, even if I only made a single minor change since the last save. I don't have any iLogic that could be causing this.
So I'd like to split the sheets up into multiple.dwgs, but I want changes I make my Styles to be reflected in all drawings. Can I create an 'external' stye file that all drawings pull their style from? Or will I have to export/import to each drawing every time I make a change?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use VBA To Modify Color Styles

It is possible to change a document style color with a VBA macro or why not with iLogic ?.
I regularly imports STEP and the parts have defined colors. Unfortunately for change must clear all colors of surfaces. By cons, if you edit the styles we see that for each color there is a style with the color name.
So basically if I change a color style, all parts using this style will change.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Created Dimensioning Styles

I needed to create new dimensioning styles - that I can do. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to apply them to a current drawing. In the Annotation section under Format there are no 'styles' listed - not even the default.
So, how is one able to populate the list so one may choose a specific style or another? Or, is there somewhere else I should be looking?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Self-draining Routes - Why Certain Styles Are Not Available

I've created a self-draining tube and pipe style for the first time. I find that in some routes only the self-draining style is available and in other routes it isn't available (i.e. in the drop down list or to activate in the styles dialog). What the rules are that allow non- or self-draining style selection?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 - Styles Conflict

So I have migrated my template. Now when I start a new assembly, I get the 'Styles Conflict' message. I could suppress it, but I'd rather not.I had rather that the file use the style definition in the style library. So I have to update the template with the new style definintion. Question is how to do that now in 2013?
I opened the template, then went to the Material Browser. In the righ hand pane, I picked the 'Generic' material and then the up arrow (add material to document). I get a message that it already exists and the local copy will be used.
How do I get it to overwrite the local copy and use the styles definition in my library?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Different Parts List Styles?

Styles in Inventor have always been confusing to me. I have ONE project file, ONE teplates folder, but TWO different drawing templates (one for single part drawings, one for assembly drawings). For simplicity sake, lets say the ONLY difference I want between the two drawing templates is the parts list. The assembly template parts list should have lets say one more column than the other.
I did what I thought should do it but it isn't working properly. What's the best way to accomplish this? Right now within the same style library I have two parts lists set up, and I have two 'standards'. The only difference between the two standards is which parts list box is checked on 'available styles'. When I change 'object defaults' to onw parts list or the other, it changes that default for all drawing templates, not just the one I'm using.
