That’s all. kthnkxbye!

Now, what say you?

Note: If you want to open dgn file in autocad that’s fine. But I tell you its time consuming! To open dgn file in autocad just use the command “dgnimport“. This is good if you will only open 3-5 dgn drawings. What if you are going to review or plot thousands of these! For sure it will eat too much of your productive time..

Here let me share you list of alternative downloadable free dgn viewer to speed up the process.

• Autodesk Design Review + DGN import plugin
• DGN Direct
• Bentley View
• GraphStore
• Columbus
• Autovue
• Safe Software (EME Product)
• OpenEV

That’s all. I’m too lazy to put some description atleast you have a list to start your research as to which DGN file viewer software you will download.  Use Google to learn more about this program.

To easily diagnose his problem I requested him to send me the print screen of the Autocad error or notification box.

Job Already in Progress

A plot or publish job is already being processed in the background.  Only one job can be processed at a time.

Wait for the job to complete, and then try again.

This is not actually an error but a notification for background processing in Autocad.  When this is enabled you can only plot one autocad file at a time. In short, if you have 100 different drawing file, you need to wait for the previous plot job to complete before you can iniate a new plot job. 

If you hate to wait and want to get rid of this job already in progress thing.. then you should turn off the background plot. 

Go to Format (shortcut = OP)  >> Options >> Plot and Publish tab >> unchecked the plotting & publishing background processing option.

That’s how to get rid of that “Job in Progress – - plot and publish notification” in Autocad.

After 30 minutes, I came up with this structure:

Well, we already have Autocad MEP 2009 and REVIT but I want to know what the Autodesk will recommend for the above plan.  I’m also eyeing on the Microstation products.

This is what makes me busy these days.  Hunting down the best 3D Software for Plant Solution (Waste Water Treatment Plant, District Cooling, Plant Design etc etc..)

This is not a good sign.

I have been posting the new features of Autocad MEP 2009 and have read alot about. Now I can personally see how it works and I hope that this upgrade is better than Autocad MEP 2008. I have encountered several bugs and problems on the MEP 2008 and I have managed to get along it with it.

The Autocad MEP 2009 offers some solutions for the problems in previous version.  Along with the free Autocad MEP 2009 is the free update for Autocad Revit MEP Suite 2009. Autocad Revit MEP Suite is actually a two products in a package – those are Revit MEP 2009 and Autocad MEP 2009.

Whatever problems I encounter with the new Autocad MEP release for sure you will see it here.  Of course, I will post also good things about this product so stay tuned.

If in case you have some observations or problems you feel to share then please do so. Just leave a comment on this post and let us exchange our views on it.

Have a nice day to all.

The thing is he is not using the educational release, he is using a licensed one so this plot stamp should not be present in his drawing.  Quick research shows that the stamp is some kind of Autodesk bug (not sure about this but this is what I read from autocad forum & discussion).

What should he do then to remove the plot stamp “Produced by an Autodesk Educational Product“?

Follow this steps:

1. Open the affected drawing
2. Type dxfout in the command prompt
3. Save the dxf in the location you can easily access
4. Now, type dxfin in the command prompt
5. Browse the file you save in step 3
6. Save the file as dwg

The Produced by an Autodesk Educational Product should be removed upon completion of the steps above.  If the educational product plot stamp still appears, check the xref file and apply the steps I’ve mentioned above.
