DISPLAY DISTORTION IN MODEL & PAPER SPACE

DISPLAY DISTORTION IN MODEL & PAPER SPACE

THE PROBLEM IS OCCURING WHEN I AM TRYING TO OPEN AUTOCAD 2010 DWG FILES ONTO AUTOCAD 2016 LT.

 

WHAT HAPPENS IS THE THE DRAWING ENTITES COME OUT DISTORTED UNLIKE THE ORIGINAL FILE.

 

I HAVE OPENED UP THE SAME FILES ONTO A DIFFERENT AUTOCAD 2016 & THEY OPEN UP JUST FINE.

 

I ALSO GET "AEC OBJECTS DETECTED" WINDOW WHEN OPENING FILE & "PROXY INFORMATION" WINDOW STATING THE DWG HAS CUSTOM OBJECTS CREATED  BY UNAVAILABLE "OBJECT ARX" APPLICATION. DONT KNOW IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE I AM HAVING.

 

(NOTE: THESE SAME POP UP WINDOWS OCCURED WHEN OPENED ON OTHER AUTOCAD '16 WHICH OPENED UP FINE, AS STATED ABOVE.) 

 

WOULD LIKE FILES TO OPEN UP LIKE ORIGINAL WITHOUT DISTORTION.

 

 PLEASE HELP.

@Anonymous Hello, and welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

About Custom Objects and Proxy Objects

 

Custom objects provide additional capabilities to the program and related products. When the application that created the custom object is not available, a proxy object is substituted in its place.

 

A custom object is a type of object created by an ObjectARX ® (AutoCAD Run-Time Extension) application, which typically has more specialized capabilities than standard AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT objects. Custom objects include parametric solids (AutoCAD ® Mechanical), intelligently interactive door symbols (AutoCAD ® Architecture), polygon objects (AutoCAD ® Map 3D), and associative dimension objects (AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT).

 

In addition to Autodesk, many software vendors use ObjectARX to write programs that create graphical and nongraphical custom objects that are useful in their AutoCAD based applications.

 

Proxy Objects

 

A proxy object is a substitute for a custom object when the ObjectARX application that created the custom object is not available to AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, or other host applications. Later, when the application is available, the proxy object is replaced by the custom object.

 

Proxy objects have significantly reduced capabilities compared to their corresponding custom objects. The extent to which proxy objects can be edited is determined by the parent ObjectARX application. For example, operations such as erasing and moving an object, or changing object properties, may or may not be possible on a proxy object, depending on the application that created it.

 

When you open a drawing, you might see a Proxy Information dialog box. The dialog box tells you the total number of proxy objects in the drawing (both graphical and nongraphical) and the name of the missing application and provides additional information about the proxy object type and display state. You can use the dialog box to control the display of proxy objects.

 

Object Enablers

 

An object enabler is a tool that provides specific viewing and standard editing access to a custom object in the host applications when the application that created the custom object is not present.

 

Object Enablers allow custom objects in a drawing to behave with more intelligence than proxy graphics. Object enablers also facilitate workgroup collaboration when using other Autodesk products.

 

If the ObjectARX application is not installed on your system, you can check for available Object Enablers on the Web. For example, if you receive a drawing that contains objects that were created in AutoCAD Architecture, but you don't have that application installed on your system, the AEC Object Enabler is downloaded so you can view those drawings as they were intended.

 

For a complete list of the currently available Object Enablers, go to the Autodesk Web site at http://www.autodesk.com/enablers.

 

Object Classification

 

If an application such as AutoCAD ® Map 3D was used to add a feature (object) classification to an object, you can view the classification in the Properties palette in the Class Name entry. If the object's classification is missing from the associated classification (XML) file, or if the associated classification file is missing, an exclamation mark is displayed in the Class Name entry. For information about what is required to create a feature classification, see the AutoCAD ® Map 3D documentation.

 

You can also use the Quick Select feature to select objects by their Class names and Class properties.

I HAVE INSTALLED SERVICE PACK 1 FOR ACAD LT '16 PREVIOUSLY. THIS DID NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM.

@Anonymous Do you know what program or addon the proxy / custom objects were created with?

Can you please share a sample of a proxy or custom object that you believe was created with AutoCAD 2010. Then we can give you further instruction accordingly. Thanks.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION IS IT SAFE TO SAY THE CAUSE OF THE DISTORTION IS BASED ON THE PROXY GRAPHICS/CUSTOM OBJECTS? I AM STILL VERY CONFUSED WHY IT OPENED FINE WITH REGULAR 2016 CAD (NON LT).

 

IF YOU REFER TO "EXAMPLE DISTORTION 1 & 2" JPG's THOSE ARE THE PROBLEMATIC ENTITIES. NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU ASK FOR.

 

THANKS FOR HELPING

I understand this is an issue and maybe very problematic, but please don't capitalize everything. It feels like you're yelling at me.

"Opened fine with non-LT" - that's a bold point. Is it possible to delete some objects and provide me a single sample so we can text it ourselves.

Thanks.

Sorry about that. As a CAD drafter used to having my caps lock on 24/7. A sample of a dwg file?

So I suspect the "other machine" user checked the box on that pop-up that says DO NOT SHOW THIS AGAIN, and probably also turned off PROXYNOTICE variable but turned on PROXYGRAPHICS and PROXYSHOW.

Either way though, on your PC or on others, if anyone in 2013 or higher version of AutoCAD open a 2010 or lower format DWG file with AEC content in it those objects will get upgraded and make editing those objects impossible for the owner of those AEC objects in their AEC capable software (not plain AutoCAD or LT).

BUT... I suspect, like 90% of users with this problem, you really don't know what these AEC objects are and don't need to care much about sending them back to the objects originator, so explode them in 2016 (AutoCAD or LT) with AECTOACAD command once and for all and move on with your CAD project.
If someone needs them, you'll know it soon enough, but since you upgraded them in 2016 they are already useless anyway.

Good luck.

I was told that due to the fact that I am switching from a full AutoCad file to the LT version, it is possible that the LT version does not have the fully support as the orginal which lead to distortion.

Since I don't have access to your files, that may be true, or not.
