  1. Hi; This is simple I'm sure but I am missing something. I want to reference a cell in a worksheet and have a text sufix also show. ie: =('Title_Block:b2) plus say 'Sheet 2 of 2' . So that the result is "Building Name Sheet 2 of 2". I can do either in a cell but not both. xp pro sp2 Dual 3gh 3gb vw12.5.1
  2. Iosolin: Have you tried going from eps to png in Illustrator? That's what I do and I get Alpha and full control over all components. Tom xp pro sp2 3gh dual w/3gb vw12.5.1
  3. Iosolin: I can import from indesign or illustrator and have control over the background by selecting it and clicking on none but only if the background was created correctly to begin with. No matter how much I try I can't do it with jpg or tiff because of the way they are processed, those I open in another program and make the changes to the configuration then import and it works great. Hope this helps. Tom xp pro sp2 3gh dual w/3gb ram
  4. Christaan, I just tried it, Moved circles and then constrained the two circles together with out a crash. I am in windows so this may not help. Tom xp pro sp2 dual 3gh 3gb VW12.5.1
  5. You can also right click on the object and select force select and it should select it and if you look at your object info pallet it will tell you the layer & classof the object. Katie told me about this it is great. Tom xp pro sp2 dual 3gh 3gb VW 12.5.1
  6. When I need to remove fonts I go to c:\windows\fonts. The problem is some do not appear as the name you see in VW font list. I usually more my best guess to a folder then try VW again. xp pro sp2 dual 3gh 3gb vw12.5.1
  7. To get rid of the little squares on my drawings, which did print, I went to control panel\ Regional languages \ Launguage \ and checked Install files for complex scripts. Tom XP Pro sp2 3gh 3gb Ram
  8. Hugo, I used to use volo view for a dwg viewer and that worked fine but autocad now only has the desktop viewer and I have not checked to see if that can view DWGs or not and I did not want to download just to look at it. Tom
  9. Hi Taproot, Can you just select the symbols and go to object info and change class? Tom
  10. They don't appear in your resource browser? Even when I have old items come along into a new drawing they show in the browser. The other thing is can you kill them before they go into the new drawing. Tom
  11. Are they resetting to the new template or to the old version of the symbols? Tom
  12. Yes, Go to you r object info pallet and use text rotate. Hope this is what you are asking. Tom Windows XP pro sp2 3gh 3gb ram
  13. I take it no one else is having this problem. The only other detail I have noticed is that it is only on machines that went from 12.0.0 to 12.5.1. My computer went from 12.0.0 to 12.5.0 then 12.5.1 and mine is the only one that has not seen this problem so far. Thanks Tom
  14. Additional Info - When we export a worksheet (.txt) and the original file disappears everything looks normal but when you check the location the file is gone. It has not happened when it is a new file only when you overwrite an existing file MCD's and STA's you get an error message, I will submit a copy as soon as I have the chance. We tried setting a machine back to intenet explorer 6 but that machine still deleted or relocated the ".txt" file when it was exported. Tom
  15. Hi Everyone: We have been losing files also (on PC's) as far as I can tell it has been on the server and on C - drive. You work on a drawing and when you go to save (or autosave) when you're done the file is gone from the drive that you are working from and if you just hit ok from autosave get a failure message and it is gone (the original file that you opened and the active drawing). The next time someone gets one I will copy the exact message and send it. The problem has been on 1 to 5mb files and at random it has happened with MCD, STA, and exports in ".txt" format the files are gone and if you do not work from a back up you have to start all over. This only started when we went to 12.5.1 from 12.0.0. Is it possible that the saving problems on PC are related to Windows Explorer 7 as we were running 12.5.1 for 4 or 5 weeks before we updated to Internet explorer 7 and since that time the problem of disappearing files has been growing. Is revision 12.5.1 (64620) the latest rev for PC's? Window XP SP2 HP - P4 Dual 3gh 2.5mb ram VW 12.5.1 (64620)
  16. mark; We moved a machine back to IE6. One that has been seeing frequent missing files. Tom
  17. Mark; Should I post my problem in a different folder as you sound like you don't think it is related? Thanks Tom

  20. Illustrator does both vector and raster and VW handled both for me. The key is the way the file is exported to begin with. Hope this ans. your question. Good Luck Tom
  21. I've had to import allot of eps files and I found that when I get the grey block that it has to do with the eps file before they export. The transparentcy has to be set and a few other settings but if the file is exported correctly then I don't have a problem. Hope this helps.
  22. Thank you that helps alot because then you can see the parameters and figure out what is different. Great help!
  23. I figured it out the view had chaged from plan to right for one layer even though I have not used another view in a week. Sorry for the bother.
  24. At times I cannot select objects on other Layers with v12.5 I did not have this problem on 12. It is not all the time and yes my class & layer are set to show/snap/modify. For now I have to move everything to one layer then back to their respective layers when I'm done. Any sugestions? PC 3gh 2.5gb
  25. Version 8.5 & 11.5 work fine and my old CPU was ok with them. I did uninstall and reinstall the fonts that were suspect to no avail. I have a PC and when this is done on a MAC there is no problem. I am not intending to say that the problem is the font itself I think there is something else going on and that it is how the different types of fonts interact with the program. I just intended to offer a quick solution to be able to stay running and not lose work because I just went through it and had to work 14 hr days 7 days a week to get my work done.
