DirectX Runtime Failed Failure is ignored, Result=1619

tomshumpert — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:56:04 PDT

While installing a Civil 3D and a Acad 2012 package from a deployment I came across DirectX Runtime Failed Failure is ignored, Result=1619.

After hours of searching and trial and error here was my solution:

Modify your deployment and uncheck silent install. This will give you a better indication on what is failing.

Come to find out .NET 4.0 was not installed/installing so I manually installed .Net off the microsoft website and re-ran deployment and it worked fine!

Reverse Order PDF files

Need to Reverse the order of your PDF file for plotting?

There is no command to reverse the order of the pages in Acrobat.

You have to:
Run this from the JavaScript Console (Ctrl+J):

for (i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--) this.movePage(i);

Hope this Helps.

Setting Grid Coordinates for Site Plans

Have you ever needed to setup a Site plan with a GRID coordinate format?

Here is what you do:

First off you will need to make sure your Coordinate sytem is setup in the drawing you have referenced your overall drawing into. You don't want to set transformation in the original file.

Click on the Tranformation Tab and check "Apply tranform settings"
