Copy
& Paste
Problem:
When you try to copy and paste
styles from within the Style Manager, or you use the MVPart Add command, the
current AutoCAD® session shuts down and the following error message is
displayed:
Unhandled Exception C0000005 (Access Violation Reading 0x0004) at address
XXXXXXXXX
If you click OK in the error dialog box, the following error message is
displayed:
FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at XXXXXX
Resolution:
These
errors occur when the dbconnect routine has been used to associate data
contained in an external database table with AutoCAD graphical objects.
Attempts to copy and paste styles from within the Style Manager or to use the
MVPart Add command both conflict with the ase.arx file, which is demand loaded
by drawings in which the dbconnect routine has been used.
Use one of
the following methods to avoid this problem:
Rename the ase.arx file. Rename the ase.arx file that resides in the
root of the Autodesk Architectural Desktop installation directory to prevent
the file from being demand loaded. The conflict with the other routines will be
avoided. However, this work-around also disables the dbconnect routine.
Use the WBLOCK command.
Use the WBLOCK command
to extract the geometry from the affected files into new files. The links to
the dbconnect feature will be broken by this procedure and the ase.arx file
will no longer be demand loaded when you open the the new file.

Create
a variable width wall
Problem:
You
want to create a variable width wall endcap style to use with a variable width
wall style.
Resolution:
Variable
width wall endcap styles cannot be created in Autodesk Architectural Desktop and
it is recommended that you create multiple wall endcap styles for each of the
widths which will be used in your variable width wall style.
For
additional information including tips for the creation of wall endcap styles,
please refer to TS69147.

Thema: Insert
a door into one wall and have it cut a hole in another wall segment
Problem:
You
want to insert a door into one wall and have it cut a hole in another wall
segment. This functionality may be required if there are two walls in close
proximity and a door inserted into one of these walls may intersect the second
wall.
Resolution:
You
can create a door that cuts through multiple wall segments by attaching a custom
block to the door style and then using it as a subtractive interference
condition as outlined in the following procedure:
Create
a mass element
1.
From the Concept menu, choose Mass Elements > Add Mass Element.
2. In the Add Mass Element dialog box, set the shape as box.
3. Set the width to a value equal to the width of the door, including the frame.
4. Set the depth to a value that will allow the mass element to be large enough
to encompass the entire door swing.
5. Set the height to a value equal to the height of the door, including the
frame.
6. Insert the mass element. Please note the insertion point is not relevant to
the remainder of this process.
Create
a block
1.
Type Block at the command line.
2. Enter a name for the block.
3. Choose Select Objects and then select the mass element.and press ENTER.
4. Choose Base Point and then select lower left hand corner of the mass element,
press ENTER and then choose OK.
Add
a custom block to the door style
1.
Select the door to be modified, right-click and choose Edit Door Style.
2. In the Door Style Properties dialog box, select the Display Props tab and
verify that the display representation is set to plan.
3. Select Door Style as the Property Source, select Attach Override and then
choose Edit Display Props.
4. In the Entity Properties dialog box, select the Other tab.
5. In the Custom Block Display section, choose Add.
6. In the Custom Block dialog box, choose Select Block.
7. In the Select A Block dialog box, select the block created in the previous
process and choose OK.
8. In the Scaled To Fit section, enable the Width and Height options and choose
OK three times.
Configure
the custom block to be subtractive
1.
From the Design menu, choose Wall Tools > Interference Condition.
2. Type A at the command line to select the Add option.
3. Select the wall in which the door is NOT anchored and press ENTER.
4. Select the door when prompted to select AEC entities to add and press ENTER.
5. Type S at the command line to select the subtractive option and press ENTER
to exit the command.
Turn
off the display of the custom block
1.
Select the door to be modified, right-click and choose Edit Door Style.
2. In the Door Style Properties dialog box, select the Display Props tab and
verify that the display representation is set to plan.
3. Select Door Style as the Property Source, select Attach Override and then
choose Edit Display Props.
4. In the Entity Properties dialog box, select the Layer/Color/Linetype tab.
5. Locate the component with the same name as the block created in the second
process, turn off the display of this component and choose OK twice.
This
process has added a custom block that cuts a hole in a second wall in plan view.
If you want the same hole to be cut in model view, you will have to add the
custom block to this display representation as well.

Problem:
In
a wall segment along which structural members are positioned, the insertion of a
door does not automatically break the structural member.
Resolution: The
product does not automatically break structural members that intersect with door
objects, but this can be accomplished through the following procedure:
1. Select the structural member that should have been broken, right-click and
click Member Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Structural Member Properties dialog box, click the Location tab.
3. Modify the Z value of the insertion point to be equal to the top of the door
frame.
4. On the Dimensions tab, modify the length of the structural member to be equal
to its original length, minus the offset applied in step 3.
5. Click OK to accept the changes and close the dialog box.
Note:
This example discusses the modification of a column, but the same basic
procedure can be applied to beams or braces.

Thema: Create
a recessed door in a slab floor
Problem:
You
want to create a recessed door in a slab floor.
Resolution:
In
some scenarios, doors are recessed into the floor. If you are using a slab to
represent the floor, you need to generate an indentation to accommodate the
recessed door. The end result can be accomplished using a mass element as a
subtractive object, and then anchoring it to the door as detailed in the
following procedures:
Create
a mass element:
1.
On the Concept menu, click Mass Elements > Add Mass Elements.
2. In the Add Mass Element dialog box, select box as the shape and set the width,
depth, and height values.
Note
that these values need to accommodate the width of the door as well as the depth
of the indentation.
3.
Insert the mass element and position it in the area where the recess is required.
Subtract
the mass element from the slab
1.
On the Design menu, click Slab Tools > Boolean Add/Subtract.
2. When prompted to select a slab, select the slab in which the recess is
required.
3. When prompted to select objects, select the mass element created in the
previous procedure, and press ENTER.
4. Type s for the Subtractive option and press ENTER.
Anchor
the mass element to the door
1.
On the Desktop menu, click Anchors > Curve Anchor.
2. On the command line, type at for the Attach Object option and press ENTER.
3. When prompted to select object to be anchored, select the mass element.
4. When prompted to select curve to anchor to, select the door.
Note:
It may be necessary to edit the anchor properties of the mass element to restore
it to its original position.
