My company has a folder of .dwg  images (AutoCAD/Assembly Drawings ) ranging from 200-500 docs.

My goal is to get these in TIFF format for legal review.

Now I've written a program that uses eDrawings free viewer to open these and read the images into memorystream ~ the reason for this is that any corrupt file isn't read into memory stream and is therefore skipped. So everything up to this point is simple but it gets a little complicated from here.


Some of the images, say 3-5% are zoomed out on a specific area, without any other pixellation on the pictureframe.

In my attachments "pic1" and "pic4" are standard images. "Pic 5" is a tiny dwg drawing in the corner, however if you zoom in it ("Pic 6") becomes a lot bigger and more noticeable, and we aren't losing any other  parts of the image (pixels).


My question is: Is there code that I can use that would tell my program

"save the image into memorystream as full screen if it takes up less than 1/15 of the pictureframe/picturebox and if there are no other pixellations"


Like even an idea where to start looking would be nice.

I am thinking about something:


if imageheight < 1/15 of frameheight   AND   imagewidth < 1/15   framewidth then  print image fullscreen


Any thoughts?

Hello Experts - I'm starting my budget for next year and one thing I would like to do is replace some monitors.  I work for a small architectural firm and right now we're using relatively inexpensive Acer 24" monitors.  They're ok but I'd like to do better.  I'm looking for recommendations for monitors that would work well for architectural designers using Revit and CAD.  Let me know what you think!

i am having a trouble launching Civil 3D 2014, I want a shortcut that will launch it, right now it will only open as AutoCAD 2014.

can someone help me create a shortcut, it is now installed on windows 10 x64bit computer.

Thank you,

AutoCAD 2016-2018.  Just wondering if the following specs (my concern really is the 2 GB of VRAM), can run AutoCAD on an i7. 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, with a video card that only has 2GB of dedicated VRAM?  The video card is what is concerning me.

Thanks!!!

Dear Experts,

I have some 2D lines as sewer lines in AutoCAD. I have a 3D terrain surface in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Can I project those lines as per Civil 3D terrain? Then I have to extrude the sewer as per terrain profile.

Is it possible? If possible, how to do that?

Any idea how to print all drawings in a DWG file ?

Thx

User wants to get a laptop to use with AutoCad.

I looked at BestBuy, and saw the following specs:

HP - OMEN by HP 17.3" Laptop -
Intel Core i7 -
12GB Memory -
AMD Radeon RX 580 -
1TB Hard Drive

Is the Radeon RX 580 acceptable for AutoCad?


Thanks.

Dear EE experts,

Good day!
Apologize if we don't know how to explain the subject clearly, we would like to ask for tech advise support on what is the best software program that we can use for our requirement project (simple animate program).
Here's what we would want to happen:
- a software that will show the list of our products (small image only)
- after clicking one product, the image has different parts that can be clicked, including the removing of the product's cover (so the user can see what are the assemblies inside of it.
- inside, will show the parts, and when the user hover to one part, it will show some info such as Date updated, what are the update of it.

Basically, we want it to be animated a bit...

Thank you and hope to hear soon...

We have been battling engineering / CAD software performance problems and observe that this software starts and runs significantly faster when logged in as Domain Administrator OR local Administrator, than it does as any other Domain user.  The software is SolidWorks 2015.  
We have checked many obvious things so far such as Group Policy settings (or lack there-of, so non-policy).  Has anyone encountered anything similar?  Thanks.

Hello Experts - I am looking for software that will allow us to setup custom internal training on AutoCAD and Revit.  We're just now starting to look at various way to do this so I'm not sure I'm going in the right direction yet.  I've seen software in the past where a trainer sets up a session for a specific task in the software but can't recall the name.  A video captures the steps and the user then has to go into the training software and replicate the same steps.  Mouse clicks are captured and the user must follow the same steps in order to proceed to the next lesson.  I would very much appreciate any recommendations on this or other training software that we might use for our intern architects.

Retomando AutoLISP, agradecere se sirvan ayudarme en temas puntuales :

a) Teniendo una polilinea cerrada, requiero acotar automaticamente todos sus vertices ("pinchando" la figura, se acoten todos sus angulos internos) y luego los valores acotados extraerlos en un archivo externo, para efectos de verificar su correcto cierre geometrico

b) Sobreescribir los acotados (obtenidos en item a) leidos desde un archivo externo, conteniendo los angulos corregidos

c) Actualizar los atributos de bloques (seleccion por pinchamiento, uno a uno) para cambiar los campos con informacion alfanumerica desde un archivo externo y salvando el contenido de los atributos  actuales, previamente a ser sobreescritos, en otro archivo externo

GRACIAS

Can any one recommend a free CAD viewer which also allows for very simple editing (just adding labels).  It needs to be able to read dwg files.

Thanks for the help

I am trying to install autocad 2014 with a network license. When I enter the server IP address I get a message saying you entered the name of a server that does not exist or is currently unavailable on the network.

I can ping the server and I can get to the server through windows explorer. Not sure what the issue is? Any help would be appreciated!
