Alright, I un-installed my activation key for vs 11.1 Then uninstalled V11.1 and rebooted. Then installed V11.0 Then activated it with my key. All back to normal now, files open as expected. Inserting blocks from files without crashing. Ill try 11.1 at a later date I think. Ill mention that I like V...

Hi All, I just updated from version 11.0 to 11.1 this week. Now I get frequent crashes when trying to open drawings from the start page. If I can get a drawing to open, it then crashes if I try to insert a block at the point where I the file open menu is selected. I have been having good stability b...

Thank you Steve... I will down load that and give it a try. In the mean time, I did find some 3D people at this location, https://dwgfree.com/product/blocks-of-persons-3d-dwg/ These were in dxf format. I was able to open the file in Intellicad ,then copy and pasted the human I wanted into my drawing...

Cheers to all, I have been making progress in my 3D solid model drawing of my farmhouse. I am to the point where I would like to place a 3D model of a person, perhaps on the deck, in my top level drawing. Can anyone recommend the source of a human 3D model that working in intellicad? Should I be loo...

Steve,

That is a very impressive project! Much more complex than anything I am doing.
I enjoyed seeing it!

Paper space, viewports and dimensioning are topics I hope to tackle soon. I have been pretty happy with intellicad so far, especially at this price point.

All the best,
Kevin

Thanks for all the helpful hints. I did some poking around to see if I could resolve the artisan rendering difficulty using xref but without much luck. I have decided just to stick with blocks defined by importing the underlying drawing at definition time. That seems to render fine in all cases. So ...

Thank you Steve. I have been using the freeze lay method as you suggest. And maybe getting a little better about organizing my top level drawing layers when adding block defined as lower level drawings. I create a drawing layer specifically assigned to the complex block I am adding. For instance, lo...

Sorry for the small image. This is the result of some experiments I tried to figure out why colors were not mapping correctly in atisan renderings. The 2nd line of blocks show the issue. The drw in the lower right was imported as an XREF. The rendering is monocrhrome, the blocks in blue did not rend...

A rendering in Artisan ... no xrefs used

Let see if this works... pasting in the url of a rendering I have on a photo hosting site

I seem to be moving along with the Artisan rendering so long as I dont include XREF defined blocks. I too am running version 11 of CMS_Intellicad but didnt reinstall the Artisan software from version 10 as I noticed the Artisan installer on the download page is dated 2016. The artisan package has so...

Hi All, I have been building a master drawing composed of several source drawings. I add the source drawings by one of two methods, Method 1: Insert the drawing as a block "Insert block" by browsing to the source file Method 2: Insert the drawing as a block using the "Insert XREF"...

Hi Quan & Steve, Thanks for your kind responses. I tried the HideObjects and Unhide (UnisolatedObjects) commands and that did the trick for me. It worked for blocks created from drawing files and blocks defined using XREF manager. I also tried the XREF method suggested by Steve... insert the new...

I would like to turn on or off the visibility of groups and/or blocks composed of boxes, polylines,etc placed on different layers. When I group these items into a "group" I find I can select the group and edit the visibility on the properties dialog to turn it off. Once I do this, I cannot...

testing if I can post to forum
