Thank you very much for the help.

Can you delete the attachment, so it is not available for others? I have downloaded it.

Hmmm - ok I try. WinRar Zip archive?? For some reason my 7zip does not appear to work anymore, not sure why. Should have a look at it sometime, when I have time.

Hi.

Can one of you convert this drawing to version 2010 or earlier? Because my Cad-program cannot open it, if it is saved as a too new AutoCad version. The customer is not working with this architect more, so maybe she cannot get the drawing in another version.

Oh - extension .dwg is not allowed, so I cannot attach the file.

Ok - simply copy the content from one folder to another, when I have created the project 14002. But I assume that I will have to change the file names (for example plf drawings, positions etc.) from 14V01 to 14002 - but that is also possible.

Hi.

I have a system with project numbers for the projects "that goes real". In many cases it can be convenient to create a temporary project, maybe to make some drawings for an offer or to make a case study for a possible project. But this temporary project should have another project number system than the "real projects". But then maybe the customer accepts the offer and the project and then I would need to upgrade this project from "other projects" to a actual project. So for example project number for the temporary project is 14V01, but when upgraded to actual project, it should have number 14002.
Is that possible, or is it better to continue with the project number 14V01??

Yes, I am aware that center of gravity for wall has another color than the other center of gravity. It is mostly a conveniance question. But with what you say, I could in princip just select all concrete in D-cam, change color to something else and then change color back to concrete. That wouldn't take long time.

Well - maybe not necessary, but it can be a little confusing to look at 3 or more center of gravity points on the wall, because I use the wall center of gravity to place the lifting inserts after. So it would be nice to be able to "clear the board" first, before I calculate all walls center of gravity.

Hi.

Just wondering - is it possible in wall design or somewhere else to delete all previous center of gravity points and start on a fresh??

I think - but I am not sure, that is I check the weight of inside and outside layer of concrete sandwich elements in D-Cam in Object info, this creates points if gravity for each of these layers? But then when I am ready with the project, I would like in wall design to create center of gravity for all walls and for the complete wall. But then, there will be several points. So thinking if it would be possible to "clean the board" at that point??

Ok thanks - I will have a look when I continue the project.

Hi.

Ok - it is wall 3 on GF1.

Hi. I have several walls and they all come out fine, when I put them on the drawings. But one wall, comes out only with everything else than the wall it self. Sections, building overview, section arrows etc. are fine, but the wall surface is not in the stored image....

How to fix that one??

Best regards, Thorvald.

Ok - there was also a k00 file that was missing for position 8. Recovering only the gbd-file didn't help, but recovering also the k00 file, did the job as far as I can see.

So what files contains the content of the position???

Hi.

In a project I suddenly have a empty position. Not sure why. Are the GBD files the position files?? That could sound correct, because the file 13101008.gbd is missing and the position 8 is empty.

So is it this file I should recover from backup???

Ok I see. It seems like it was not the scale that was the problem, but the dimension settings for the drawing. That was in inch - don't know if that is default by Dietrich's, when you create a new drawing - but it could be the reason. I not often make new drawings that I need to make measurements on - I copy existing drawings, delete the content and make the new drawing...

Oh strange - now I just saw it. I wanted to check something else - right clicked on the measurement to see properties and saw that it is in inch. But why ot suddenly is comming in inch????

How to fix this so the drawing scale and measurements is correct??? I don't understand why it works on the one drawing and then not work on the other I copy parts of the drawing to. The units settings in D-Cad is millimeter. When I make a new drawing, there is no possibility to choose anything about units.

Before I try to understand completely what you say, I'll ask: What units??

First I imported the dxf into the other drawing, scaled it correctly acc. to what drawing scale it was originally. There no problems. Then I copied part of that D-Cad drawing to another drawing, with another scale.

I have experienced this quite a few times, but never really understood why. Before I have not seen it (I think) on drawings that I have made my self, but on drawings imported from architect dwg files and such that perhaps was not in correct scale.

But here the drawing scale is 100, but what I measure and what I measure is not the same, a factor 25 something wrong.

How I made this drawing: I had a similar drawing on A3 landscape in scale 1:200 - but I wanted to "zoom in" and have the drawing in 1:100. So I made a new drawing, with A3 portrait, scale 1:100 and copied parts of the first drawing to this new drawing.

How to fix this??

Hi.

I am still on version 7.03. I am finished with the project, but if I can see that these many points of gravity are still there, I could send it to you, so you could have a look. I have seen it also in other projects.
