AutoCAD Error Report

/0 Comments/in /by

Sometimes when you close elMaster design or proMaster design you get an AutoCAD Error Report. This error can be found in version 11.0 and version 12.0. The error in itself is harmless but somewhat irritating. We have now found a solution that will remove the error from occurring.

AutoCAD Error Report
AutoCAD Error Report
Solution

The solution is to turn of the AutoCAD InfoCenter Toolbar and then you will no longer get the AutoCAD Error Report
InfoCenter
This can be done in two ways:

  1. Change in register. For example the AutoCAD 2015
    “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\ACAD-E001:409\InfoCenter\InfoCenterOn” to 0
  2. Run this Lisp in the Command Prompt in AutoCAD, This lisp command can be added to the EPC_HOOK.LSP. But it only needs to be ran once to solve the problem.
    • (progn (vl-load-com) (vl-registry-write (strcat “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\”
      (vlax-product-key) “\\InfoCenter”) “InfoCenterOn” 0))

Searchable AutoCAD drawings

/0 Comments/in , /by

In both version 11.0 and 12.0 it is possible to search content in a drawing file from MasterExplorer.  That makes it easier to find the drawing that you need to access.

What do you need to do?

The drawing files must use a font that is a TrueType font for the text to be searchable. We have changed this on out templates so new drawings will have Arial as a default font.

But how about our old drawings?

We have a solution for this also. We update the drawings when the are open using a epc_hook.lsp

Instructions

  1. Put the file “changeStyleToArial.lsp” in Custom Directory (%appdata%/ides/Master Concept 12/Custom)
  2. Add following to the “epc_hook.lsp” located in (%appdata%/ides/Master Concept 12/Custom)
    – (princ “\nChange style to ARIAL”)
    – (load “changeStyleToArial.lsp” T)
  3. Finsihed

changeStyleToArial
