Complete newby needs helppppp

[CandyFana]

Helo.. Im a girl from Belgium. My boss asked me to do something but i'm completely lost. I'm used to work with programms like photoshop, dreamweaver, internet sites but im completely lost here.

 

Please help me, before he kills me.. :oops:

And please dont laught, im not stupid, but it is the very very first time i have to work with sush a programm

 

I have to put our machines in this programm : planningWiz.

Fine.. so simpel ?? forget it.

 

i got from manufacturerd some eyes top view from our machine. i can choose between PDF, GIF en DWG. But i quick notice that only DWG could help me.

 

I search and search. I use program Flash DWG to convert my dwg to swf.

 

But i come to several problems; the first one : i often get a square with my drawing on it. NO good; i need drawing alone.

 

With other DWG, fine, i only have my machine without background in planningWiz, but NEVER on the good size.

 

When i open my .dwg in autocad or in draftsight; i can change it it a little bit, i can erase, i can change place..

 

BUT, i dont understand how i can save my drawing ALONE, so not the full page with my drawing into it.

I would like to save my machine, without background at mesurement 1.

So when i say in planningWiz; it is 175 cm x 98 cm x 176 cm

 

It appears like this hahahaha; now i only have a smal drawing with a lot of space around it.. or some white.. it depends on the .dwg.

 

I know, now perhaps you all laught at my stupidity, but i'm really in stress..

 

Please, some guys to help a lost blond girl..

[ReMark]

Just to be clear, do you have an actual DWG file to work with? Yes or No?

[CandyFana]

What do you mean with an actual ?

I have a lot of dwg files.. Some are different.

 

I there a way to give you one or two ?

 

I think my problems come in autocad.. but you also have a dimension in flashdwg, but i tryed there to play, it did not do anything.

 

I think, i have to open all my dwg in autocad; do something to save them alone, all at dimensioàn 1:1; so when i give mesures in planningWiz, they will take it.

No for the moment; in planningWiz, i have a square on the mesure i gave, with a small drawing in it, my machine.. lol

 

GRRR

 

I saw someone who did it (not same market as us, no concurrent) but they did it with the same dwg as I. So im sure i can do it with dwg they gave me. But im also sure i have to change them. But im completely lost..

[ReMark]

Forget the word "actual". I guess I'll assume you have an AutoCAD DWG (drawing) file.

 

Forum members can attach copies of DWG files to their posts but the file size cannot exceed certain limits. Do this by clicking on the Go Advanced button, then click on the Paperclip icon at the next screen. Locate, upload then attach your DWG file to your next post. Include at least ten text characters so the post will be accepted.

 

If I were doing this I would make use of a paper space layout and a viewport but I have a feeling you have no idea what I just said.

 

What size paper will you be printing to?

[CandyFana]

DABB-TOP-VIEW-020708.dwg

 

That is one. This one has no background i think.

 

I dont want to print them, never, i just need to convert them in .swf to put them in planningWiz..

 

thanks trying to help.

[ReMark]

I guess I misunderstood you then. I can't convert the drawing from a DWG to a SWF file format.

[CandyFana]

Oh, sorry.. I can do that..

But i dont know how i have to save that i gave you.

 

Wat do i have to do, to change to get it 1:1; to save without background ?

you never worked with planningWiz ?

 

That is wat i have to get; go to strengh, no cardio.

 

http://gymcompany.planningwiz.com/

 

And that is what i have booh

[CandyFana]

Oh, why do i need moderator ? because i put a link i think.. sorry

[CandyFana]

Idea : and if i would have my plan the same dimension as the sheet and than same to print to the exact dimension ?

 

I have noticed that planningWiz use the sheet, for his measure. So if my sheet measure are the same as the objet, it would be good no ?

 

Notice i work in 2D, that is mush easier i think.. lol

[nestly]

Is there any documentation for PlanningWiz without joining? It seems like Planningwiz should be able to import .dwg files similar to the way AutoCAD handles blocks/attachments, but I don't know anything about it, and can't find any online info for Planningwiz.

[CandyFana]

No, nothing, not even help with it. I correspond with someone from there, but they dont like (this person) to know how and what.

 

PlanningWiz dont accept dwg; only .swf

 

I have to give name, tekst, dimension W B H, than Floor, wall and so on, an image of product jpg and than an .swf; that is all.

 

I put a link of my work, but moderator did not want to post it.. snif..

tought it is open link anyone can see, no pub, i dont understand, but it is so..

 

So i dont think i can do something else in planningWiz.

 

*Name:

You have 40 characters left.

Description:

If provided it will be displayed in object's info-box.

*Width: (cm)

*Depth: (cm)

*Height: (cm)

Price:

Product link:

Check if you want to allow the product to be resized by the users (width and depth).

Mirror toolLayer:

Select a layer on which you want the product to be placed.

*Upload swf icon:

Upload the .swf file for the product.Upload image:

Upload an image for the product (.jpg, .png, .gif). The image will be displayed in the product's info-boxPosition:

 

 

SO i think i have to change the DWG to get it correct there DIRECT.

 

because program FlashDWG (change DWG to swf) allows also no a lot

 

There i have :

 

Input File :

Output layout (choice to model, layout 1, layout2)

Output Size : Wide : 1024 px Height : 768 px

Background color (all colors but nowhere no color)

Output type : choice between 256 color, Gray, Black and white

Output file

 

Thanks if someone can tell me where i have to work

 

Autocad or Flashdwg ??

[Organic]

You said you could convert the .dwg to .swf. So what is the problem?

[CandyFana]

The problem is : i dont have an object in planningWiz like others, i have a white sheet with my drawing on it.

If someone wants to place a bike to see how mush place it takes between his sofa and table.. Normally, he has to have a 2D drawing (bird view) of my bike; from the mesures i gave.

 

For ex : a bike of 156 cm long, 75 cm W he can place where he wants.

 

NO, with me, when they place a bike, they have of square white sheet of 156 cm long, 75 cm W with a drawing of mij bike, smaal on it.

It depend on his place on the sheet in autocad.

 

Do you understand ?

 

I put links so you could immediately see the problem, but i dont understand why moderator did not want it.

 

 

 

If i make a parallelle with photoshop; i want to have a gif i can save without background. (i know how to)

 

here i would like to save my dwg so when i place it in planningWiz, i have a 2D object but without background and of the size i give the programm; so people can make simulation of their sport room and see wat they can have, what they can buy or not, because not enought place.

[ReMark]

It does not sound like planningWiz will directly import your bike as its own separate object but more as an image much like when someone using AutoCAD tries to bring an object saved as a JPG, BMP or PDF into AutoCAD.

 

I don't think you will be able to do what you want to do with the programs you are using.

 

Since the bike is already a drawing why not draw the room in AutoCAD as well?

[CandyFana]

I think you are right.

But i search the whole internet, and i did not find another programm to convert autocad into .swf.

 

Whole room in autocad, no, because i m newbee and i have no capacity to write a programm.

Dont forget, it is for our clients.

So they will be 100-500 to use it, to design their own room.

 

Im sure, it must work, because someone did it in planningWiz from the same autocad file; but with which programm than ?

 

I search and search on internet, french, english.. i dont find any other programms; only programms to convert from PDF to swf.

Than you also have a white sheet with a drawing on it.

 

 

GRRRR, i thaught : if there is only one programm to convert .dwg into .swf, than it is perhaps my way to save the .dwg (like in photoshop; if you dont select gif and transparency) you have a background).

 

Thanks for your answer.

[ReMark]

File trial of this DWG to SWF converter here...http://www.autodwg.com/dwg-to-flash/

 

Here's another one...http://www.swftools.com/tools-details.php?tool=5121101888

 

If you need the capability of one of these conversion programs then maybe it is time to buy one.

[rkent]

The planning wiz is using meters, your drawing is in mm. So use the SCALE command in autocad and scale the objects by 1/1000.

 

If you have more than one piece of equipment in a drawing then you need to separate them into separate files. Use the wblock command to do this, hopefully it will be self explanatory.

[sparkyuk]

I think what she is saying is when you save a dwg it has a frame around it she is trying to save a dwg with out the frame so it is just the drawing, if in photoshop you save a picture as a Jpeg it will have a solid back ground that will print unless you save it as a gif then its only what you have drawn with no back ground you can also save it as a PSD it also only saves the drawing with no back ground, how you would save a dwg to get this affect I have no clue if it can be done ?

[CandyFana]

Yes Sparkyuk that is IT

 

#ReMark

Sorry, but if you read, the first one you give me, is the one i used. Of course we will buy it if i can use it. But for the moment, it does not do wat i need.

It says : Output Size : Wide : 1024 px Height : 768 px

Background color (all colors but nowhere no color)

So i think this program is not good : i will try the second one; thanks.

 

#rkent

 

No sorry, read above, planningWiz uses cm, so i put my program also in cm when i read the tuto here on this forum.. it did not change anything; but i will try to change scaling. But im sure i will get a white sheet with a bigger drawing, but NOT my drawing alone.

Sparkyuk understood what i need.

 

One think more : i get several .dwg from our manufacturer; some give white background in PlanninWiz, some a grey sheet with a black sheet on it and everything is blocked. SO the way to save the drawing in autocad is WELL the problem i think.

But i dont find any preference to save my drawing because im to bad in autocad. snif..

[CandyFana]

Euh ????? #

ReMark

 

The second link you give is exactely the same program as the first one.

 

so i come again with the same : i only find ONE program to do that on the whole internet ??? That is hard to believe lol...

But also surely, the reason whi it is so diffivult to help me. There is not a lot of persons who use sush programs as planningWiz and want to put their own drawing in it.
