Autocad Selected Xref Block Is Not Editable

Posted on  by 

Click Insert tab Reference panel Dialog box launcher. Find In the External References palette, select the reference name that you want to bind. Right-click, and click Bind. In the Bind Xrefs dialog box, select one of the following options: Bind converts the objects in the xref into a block reference. By snapping to objects withn the xref you are still 'selecting' the xref for it to reference the endpoint, nearest to, midpoint, etc., so with that in mind, making it so you can't select it would mean no snaps to entities within the xref. I'm not sure of this but it seems logical that the program would HAVE to allow the user to select the. The xref-ed drawing appears in the host drawing as a single object, very much like a block insertion. In other words, if you click any object in the xref, AutoCAD selects the entire xref. You can measure or object snap to the xref-ed geometry, but you can’t modify or delete individual objects in the xref. To edit Xrefs or blocks. Do one of the following: Click the Refedit tool button on the Refedit toolbar. Type refedit in the command bar, then press Enter. You are prompted: Select reference: Click the Xref or block. Double click the Xref or block. The Reference Edit dialog opens.

Lightroom :: Restore Deleted Folder

Sep 26, 2013

I deleted a folder in the library mode and now I need this folder to be back. I tried to import the hole folder again, but Lightroom didn't show me the images like there weren't any images. I think, that I didn't actually deleted the folder and that the pictures are still in the catalog. And I don't have a back up for this catalog.

Lightroom :: 3 - Restore A Deleted Folder From HD?

Nov 18, 2012

When I first began using LR I don't think I understood the navigation correctly, because for one project, back in June, I created a folder and moved favorites (flagged and 5-starred) from other folders into that one. What I didn't realize until 5 minutes ago is that it actually moves those files on your HD as well! The folder in LR has long since been deleted and for a heart-stopping 15 minutes or so I thought all my favorite photos were gone as well.
What I found, however, was the original project folder with all my favorites on my HD. So that's okay - problem is, now when I try to bring the folders back into LR, it treats them all as new, untreated photos. It doesn't recognize them. It doesn't recognize any adjustments I've made, either. Even in Finder when I open the photos, they're all totally untreated.
My question: is there a way I can get LR to recognize those photos again? Or am I going to have to go one by one and re-do all my adjustments, keywords, and folder placement?

AutoCad :: Deleted Xref Layers Appear In Host Drawing

Oct 10, 2013

I have a number of layout tabs with varying layer controls applied in multiple viewports. This layout may be made up of a number of xrefs. I end up with a lot of layers in the host drawing from the xrefs, and even after I purge the xrefs to eliminate some of the xrefs, the layers remain in the host drawing, even though they no longer exist.
Is there any way to update the xref definitions to get rid of the layers without losing the layer setups I have? VISRETAIN is set to 1, and if I reset it to 0, I will lose all of the viewport controls I have put in place.

Photoshop Elements :: Restore Deleted Graphics / Effects Option?

Jun 1, 2013

I have accidentally deleted a frame option from graphics selections. I thought I was only removing it from the photo I was working with. No warning came up when I did this. I tried resetting the panel, but that did not work. I also could not find it in recent edits. Is there any way it can be retrieved and restored to the panel? It is one of a very few I might want to use in the future.

Photoshop Elements :: 10 / 12 - Catalog Backup And Restore Deleted Data

Mar 7, 2014

I purchased a new computer today and also purchased PSE 12 (I had PSE 10 running on a different machine/laptop). On the laptop/PSE 10, I had about 20,000 digital on an external drive (all were tagged according to color, theme, etc via the PSE organizer). All of the elements were stored on the external drive under a folder called 'digital kits'. I used the PSE 10 backup utility to backup my catalog to ease the move to my new machine. After I performed the backup, I renamed the 'digital kits' folder to 'digital kits-glw' because I intended to just move the external hard drive to the new computer and restore the catalog to the same path, “E:digital kits”, as I have other software that is dependent upon that path.
The restore went pretty quickly, and I can see the correct folder structure within PSE 12 Organizer, but all I have is a bunch of blank thumbnails. Upon closer inspection, the restore did NOT recreate the E:digital kits folder on the hard drive as I expected. Worse, the E:digital kits-glw folder is virtually empty (just a handful of thumb.db files). So, it appears the backup process deleted/hijacked all of my files. (Note: I did NOT verify the contents of the digital kits folder before I renamed it.) Tech support is closed until Monday, and I’m just sick over the possibility of losing all that data, so I’m turning to you all.(I have a backup of the data, but without the catalog piece I would have to re-catalog all 20,000 elements!)

AutoCAD .NET :: Block Information Database?

Jun 27, 2011

I want to create an application that intensively uses dynamic blocks, cross checking any new or changed block entity with existing ones.
It needs to be almost instantaneous but the only way I know will be impractical.
Looping through the property collection of each block reference, searching for each parameter then checking for a match.
Is there some sort of database functionality I can use to quickly compare block information?

AutoCad :: Attaching Xref To Title Block

Jul 13, 2012

I am trying to attach the client details as an xref to my title block. This is how it was done at my previous company, but I did not set that up, so I don't know how it was done.
The problem is this - when I attach the xref, I cannot see it on my page in paper space. If I zoom out as far as possible, the paper layout becomes a tiny dot on the screen. When I then draw a rectangle far to the right of the paper, I see a blue glyph on my paper, so I know that the drawing is there, but I cannot see it (the drawing is inserting very far to the right).
I would like to figure out how to insert my xref so that it shows up on my page. I have moved the information in the file to 0,0 and inserted at 0,0, but I keep having the same problem.

AutoCad :: Removing Xref From Block Without Removing It From Drawing Block?

Dec 22, 2011

Drawing A has a grid system Xref-ed into it. It also has a block reference in it, repeated in various places throughout the drawing.
I Xref-ed the grid into the block to check something, and now I can't get it out. This means that the grid now repeats all over Drawing A as well and is generally being a nuisance.
If I try to unload the Xref within the block, it unloads it in Drawing A too. If I try to detach it from the block, it returns this message: Xref [Xref name] has multiple references. Not detached. If I try to detach the Xred from Drawing A, it returns the same message.
How do I unload the same Xref that occurs in a block in a drawing, and in the drawing itself, independently of each other?

AutoCAD .NET :: Difference While Doing Customization With Database / Without Database Services

Aug 6, 2013

I am working on the AutoCAD customization and doing the same by VB.Net & C#.Net. But I just want to know the difference as mentioned below:
1. Insert Block In AutoCAD
Using VB.Net without using DataBase services..Only 1 statement is required to Insert the Block objAcadDocument.ModelSpace.InsertBlock(Required Arguments are here) Using C#.Net with DataBase services
There are many statments are there to insert only 1 block..Like Start Transaction, Lock the document, Get the Object Id Block etc...So my quetion is that when I have to use DataBase services and when not
what is the advantage of doing customization using DataBase services rather than go for wihout DataBase services.?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Block In Point Label In XREF Color?

Mar 14, 2012

I have a block tha I use in a point label style. All of the block entities are on layer 0. The label style is also set to layer 0 so that it get on the same layer as the point. I've tried setting the block color in the label at by layer and by block. When a drawing that contains this label style is XREF'ed into another drawing, the block in the label always takes on the color of the current layer.

edit: I attached an example. The top figure is the point with the block in the label and the bottom is just the block itself.

AutoCad :: Constraints Cannot Be Applied Between Nested Objects In Same Block Or Xref

Autocad Selected Xref Block Is Not Editable In Excel

Autocad Selected Xref Block Is Not Editable Download

I have two dynamic blocks. One is the plan view of a cylinder and one is the elevation view of a cylinder. When I change the parameter of the OD on the elevation, I want the plan view to change. I'd like to keep them as blocks (they're a little more complicated than just cylinders), but when I try to use parametrics to tie these two dimensions together I get: 'Constraints cannot be applied between nested objects in the same block or Xref.'
