Jack_O'neill Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I can't tell what the first one is supposed to be. Can you post the drawing files themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 the first 1 is an exact copy of the 2nd, obviously something went wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberAngel Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It looks like you have a lot of point objects. Check the system variables PDMODE and PDSIZE in both drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 both values are at 0 on both dwgs im trying to upload the file now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) here is the original file, i want to copy this file, so i go to model, lock the 00_xref n then copy the whole dwg, i then paste this into one of my existing dwgs were it looks ok but none of the linetypes are right, the original has a few errors n such so thats y we make out own version of the dwg. when i try matchin all the properties the same, text size, global lts etc it just looks like the pics when i first posted, i am obviously trying to replicate the original so as i can then add to it etc link removed Edited January 20, 2012 by paulsm11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not so funny. That site where you have us go to download your file set off my antivirus program. That's not a good way to get help with a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 nps lol. i dont no really, it is an original file so as far as it is a whole complete layer for all that stuff and the rest are diff layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 remark im sorry about that, its just a file hosting site is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 OK Chuckles. Nothing came with the drawing that remotely looks like your second image. And your model space objects are so far away from 0,0 as to be ridiculous. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I can't work with it because it does not include a lot of information. What program was used to create it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Autocad as far as i no, the file type is dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I am unable to help as the file does not contain everything I need to assess the situation. Sorry. Now I best go and run a virus scan and search for malware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsm11 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 That i dont no, client ha sent us the file n we hav to sort out lol, on the last file we got i had to make new layers n draw all new lines with new linetypes as when we tried to copy the original to work with it did exactly the same as the pics, its not uncommon for us to get cheaper programs dwgs to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
