inserting materials into the autocad library

romi

Guest
a greeting to all of you from a newcomer in this beautiful forum. I found a lot of interesting things in the "search" function, but nothing specifically about what I would need. Therefore, generally when installing autocad you have the option to add the library of materials, instead I did not. But now, having materials in a pen drive, I would like to insert them in autocad. Would you tell me the right procedure to adopt to insert my materials from the pen drive into a autocad library? Thank you all for the patience and courtesy of wanting to help me.

you can still do it even after all through the dvd of autocad.

No, you don't need to reinstall it. just add the missing component.

... if you would have a suggestion... by myself I have difficulty, otherwise as an alternative, in view of the fact that when I put the design in wrench we also lose the materials, at this point it would be enough to copy the jpg images of the materials, but I do not know how to do.
 
Control panel -install applications - change/remove programs.

choose the components to install, you must have the cd.
 
Yes, my owner is in possession of the cd, but it is since yesterday that he does not find it, I am stuck, at the moment the shortest way to go is to copy the textures in his drawing folder but I do not know how to do. suggestions?

"..if you would have a suggestion... by myself I have difficulty, otherwise as an alternative, in view of the fact that when I put the design in wrench we also lose the materials, at this point it would be enough to copy the jpg images of the materials, but I do not know how to do. "

a possible alternative in fact consists precisely in putting the texture in the stick, generating the design by taking the texture from the stick, so that the path of search of the texture refers to the stick as a source and memorizzi it in the struttutra of the design. at this point you should see the material only when you have the key inserted.
 
or add to the search path of the maps of composition the source of the material.
I checked: the path I see it from, tools > options > file card > search path of composition maps.
 
According to my case, it would make no sense to put the textures in the key because if I wanted to send a project via email I would find myself in the same problem because it changes the path. by emailing a project, the procedures I could follow are of the type, pdf or jpgout, but if you get such a format you have no chance to work because it is only visualization. instead if you want to opt for your second solution i.e. from “research path of composition maps” this path where I put it in order to make autocad recognize a change?
 
tools / options / file card / search path of composition maps.

I thought it was obvious!:confused::confused:
 
no, I know how you get there, I wanted to know once I found the path from the search for the composition maps, that path, how do I store it in another path from the original one? example if you want to archive my dwg file in USB stick, should I store the path, or am I wrong?
 
That's right!
because so when you open it on another pc, which does not have your material, you go to charge it from the key!

but this is my fundamental problem: how do I memorize this path? I would need a step by step procedure, it will be elementary, but excuse me I am not really connected with these paths to memorize.
 
change of materials.
on the command bar open the option drop-down menu: instruments / options / file / search path of composition maps.
open the: search path of the composition maps:
highlight any of the 'lovers' and then click on the button aggiungi, you get a new path, like a new folder without name....
at this point via browse, look for your material.
once you find it Application and then ok.

Try this path... and cross your fingers. Hi.
 
I thank you for the way you have listed me the procedure, it could really be a pearl of wisdom, and instead, I am still struggling with this problem, maybe something still missing. Having done the procedure you have listed me when I step my project in the usb key, if my project visualize it as a key inside my pc the problem does not exist, but if you want to see my project always as a usb key from another pc here I have the problem that I do not visualize the textures, despite I have performed your procedure; if from here I return to the search path of the maps of composition I no longer see the path I had stored before. I'm destroyed, you've been too kind, my hopes have vanished.
 
Excuse me, did you put the texture in the key?
then added the path from the key, in the file options?

Yes, I inserted the textures folder in the usb key and then I had to apply the textures from the folder to the object. However, in doing so, it would not make much sense to indicate the path if I eventually insert the textures from the folder that I went to insert into the key. at this point it would make more sense to enter the path at the moment you wanted to email my project. but, even in this case, I carried out the procedure of the path, I sent my project via email and arrived without the textures. I ask you, did you happen to send a project with textures via email?
