Autocad Your Access Is Now Blocked
Berk Boyraz
When trying to define a sites location via the internet mapping service I getting the following error..."Could not establish connection to internet mapping service". I've checked the PC's firewall and network settings and the website is not blocked. I've also installed all the latest service packs and even carried out a full re-install but can't access the Google mapping service through Revit!
Issue: Your access to the Internet Mapping Service may be blocked by your network settings.
Solution: Check your access settings to autodesk.com. If this site is blocked by your company's firewall or some other network security system, contact your network administrator.
Has anyone experienced this issue and have any ideas what might be causing it please?
If you are on a business network (e.g. at work), I would suggest checking with your IT department (network administrator) to see if they can determine what is preventing the connection. (It is possible that a proxy server, or network security outside of your system is blocking the connection.)
If you are on a home network you can try temporarily disabling firewall software on your system (software firewalls can be configured to block specific applications from accessing the Internet, even if the autodesk.com site is available Revit may not be allowed to access it).
Note: As mentioned on the links above turning off your firewall(s) can leave your system vulnerable to intrusion, only disable the firewall long enough to test if it is blocking the connection, and then re-enable it.
If you determine that your firewall is blocking the connection, then you can look into configuring it to allow Revit to connect to the Internet (see the firewall help documentation for configuration options).
This appears below the message mentioned instead of appearing the map.
Unable to establish a connection to the Internet Mapping Services.
Check the configuration of access gbs.autodesk.com. This Web site may be blocked by your firewall or some other network security system.
Below I am mentioning which I tried to solve this problem:
Are you testing this from a home or a business network (you should have more control over the security of a home network, but you would need to implement any changes, while a business network may have security enabled that you are not aware of, and would require consulting with your IT regarding changes)?
this is probably because you have included some parameters, or at least AutoCAD thinks you have. Start a new drawing and then INSERT your problem drawing in to it. This should give you access to the block using the block editor.
The problem is that I saved my drawing while editing it's block in block editor. So my drawing became a block, therefore autocad offers me to open it in block editor. If I open it as normal drawing (not in block editor mode), then I have that block, all layer and titleblocks that I had before, but don't have my drawing. But the size of the file is still big, and I can see small representation of my drawing when I switch between layouts (that small icons of layouts) but when I click on the layout to choose, it opens empty, only with titleblocks and that block, which I was editing when save everything... sorry for my bad English
Sorryfactor, I'm not quite sure what you are saying but that is as much because I don't use layouts as anything. Is it possible that your drawing become very small and you just can't see it. Try erasing the border and then zoom extents.
I wasn't able to reproduce it fully. I did find that if I created a new drawing, created a new block in that drawing and opened it in the block editor, then closed the program it didn't ask to save/discard the block changes and simply tried to close the program. This resulted in a access violation error and the program crashed. When I tried to open that file again though it opened normally (and not in the block editor).
file upload attached. Interestingly i have been stripping data from the file - blocks of windows etc which i updated today without drama, I just cannot get out of the last block being edited when I closed the file. It's bloody weird. The file also appears to be about the right file size so presumably all the file is in there somewhere.
I was also able to reproduce your problem using the above conditions (previously I was trying a blank new file, not one with existing blocks/geometry in it). Auditing my file didn't find any errors either.
I don't know of any solution. I don't think the drawing is opening in the block editor when you reopen the file (rather it is opening in the normal drawing mode correctly). It looks like the block you had open in the block editor at the time of closing the program is saved as the drawing model space and the existing model space is overwritten/deleted. The other blocks are still defined, although if you purge the drawing you will find there are no instances of them in the drawing. Thus, unless someone else has an idea, I think you have to go to yesterdays file. This seems like a nasty bug in 2012 which should be fixed when the first service pack is released.
Hi, I've just now had a similar problem. After use f. BLOCK EDITOR (via right mouse click), and I used an external f. FIXBLOCK, then save and close the editing block and block disappeared, is lost. Through f. FILTER him sort out, but the only shining point of reference, nothing more.
This same thing happened to me several years ago. The cause is using Undo while in block editor. The workaround is, if you have to undo something in block editor, don't--just exit without saving or make the change yourself. Also save often while editing blocks.
After search the web looking how to solve the problem, I found this post and wanted to explain how I could solve for the next colleague who happens the same issue. I work with AutoCAD 2014 Mechanical.
When I open the dwg "damaged", I can only see the block I was editing, but all the blocks are yet in the drawing, so I started to insert again the blocks one by one and, inside the block I was editing when press "Save" there was the whole drawing!
In this example we are showing zebra printer 5, its literally 10 feet away from the AP. In this example there are 3 APs within 150 feet. 2 on the other side of steel walls, one in the open air (within the 10 feet)
Zebra 5 connected to a 4th AP more than 300 feet away, in this picture you can see the ping drops. Clearly....makes no sense.
Are those printers 5ghz capable? If yes, you would need to turn off 80mhz channels, turn off Wide channels (40mhz) and limit the regulatory domain to the channels to the Zebra printers support, otherwise you would be creating coverage holes.
APs vary in height depending on forklift clearance. In this case its about 12 feet up, and this zebra is almost directly under it. Now there is also a transformer closer to this hop. We could in theory move this AP, however I dont think that will make much difference. There are other access points for it to choose from, and it still goes to one very very far away......
E means 80mhz channels. Which means fewer channels. According to the specifications here: _new_ia/en-us/manuals/printers/industrial/zt200/zt200-ug-en.pdf the maximum transmit power is 18.62 dbm, so you can try capping your maximum transmit power to 18 maximum to avoid constant roaming.
The access points you have are downtilt omnidirectional antennas, so the best coverage is not right under it, but on average 45 degrees away from center. There should be overlapping coverage. I would use the Aruba Utilities app in the Android store to get a sense of the coverage in the area of the printer(s).
Lower the power give you less co-channel interference. Disable the lower rates force a device to roam more early to a nearby AP. Change from 80 to 40Mhz channels give your more channels available to avoid channel re-use and also co-channel interference.
Very few of them in the plant space are mounted. Most of them are basically sitting INSIDE the rack. The rack is strapped to a steel wall with a custom mount.
If they are not sitting INSIDE the rack, they are sitting on top of the rack. I could have them mounted with the standard HP mounts that come with them.
As Collin mentioned to, always place AP with internal antenna's facing down to get the right polarization of the antenna's. Placing AP in the right way is extremely important for every Wi-Fi design to avoid issues.
32 feet would be fine with current downtilt omnidirectional antennas. You would want to plan for some overlap, however so you should do a survey after you mount a few APs at that height to understand the coverage.
In general, at 32 feet, you could deploy APS every 150 feet with some overlapping coverage to account for the null that is created right under some access points. You would still have to make decisions based on whether or not the product directly under the access point will change or not. The document listed in my previous posts details some of those challenges and ideas of how to mitigate.
Is there a tool for us to do our own survey? One of the issues is that steel moves around, we have baskets of parts that are literally 24++ feet high that get moved daily by forklift as customers order products.
Our current wireless stations are fixed, HOWEVER, they are on rolling carts and could in theory move later.
So we have all kinds of fluke network testing stuff for deployments just nothing to test wireless anything. Any recommendations?
Again, deploying a warehouse is not easy and you would typically engage a professional who has deployed a challenging deployment like a warehouse before. You would typically deploy access points in Aisles where it would not be disrupted by stacks of product.
Most warehouses use AP with external downtill antennes for optimal performance and avoid channel interference. In open space keep your tx-power low as possible for the -60dBm/-65dBm signal strength on the clients.
