Autocad FLEXLM_TIMEOUT

Error: A valid license could not be obtained by the network license manager

When you tried to obtain a license remotely for a network-licensed AutoCAD® 2007-based product from the license server, you could not. However, you were able to obtain a license for a previous version of the product.
You were first presented with the FLEXlm License Finder dialog box, and then you received the following error message:
A valid license could not be obtained by the network license manager.
Error [1.5.-15]
With some products, you may also receive the following error message:
A valid license could not be obtained by the network license manager.
Error [1.5.-18]

This situation can occur when you access the license manager through a VPN, dial-up or a slow DSL/ISDN link.
AutoCAD® 2007-based products contain licensing enhancements that increase network bandwidth and latency requirements. To resolve this problem, it is strongly recommended that you increase network bandwidth or reduce latency to an acceptable level so the license management technology can function correctly.
If increasing network bandwidth is not an option, you can increase the amount of time the program waits for a response from the license manager by configuring an environment variable at the client workstation. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click My Computer. Click Properties.
2. (for Vista and Windows 7, click the "Advanced system settings" link.)
3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
4. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
5. In the Environment Variables dialog box, under System Variables, click New.
6. In the New User Variable dialog box, enter FLEXLM_TIMEOUT for the name and 10000000 for the value.
7. Click OK to close each dialog box.
8. Launch the Autodesk application.

If you are able to obtain a license, the value of 1000000 microseconds (1 second) is sufficient. If you still cannot obtain a license, repeat the procedure; increasing the value in 1000000 microsecond increments until you are able to obtain a license from the license server.

Ucs changes when I pick a solid set ucsdetect = 0

ucsdetect = 0

 

Have either one of you looked into fixing the UCS so it does not rotate when I am modeling.

 There is some setting to tries to anticipate the UCS orientation when im rotating models (solids). So what happens is it rotates it in the model I am trying to turn in the wrong direction.

When you relocate drawing files or the external files that they reference, including other drawing files, text fonts, images, and plot configurations, the reference paths that are saved in the drawing need to be updated. The Autodesk Reference Manager lists referenced files in selected drawings and provides tools to modify the saved reference paths without having to open each drawing file. You can also use Reference Manager to identify and fix unresolved references.

Reference Manager is a stand-alone application with its own Help system. To access it, click

Start menu (Windows) > (All) Programs > Autodesk  >AutoCAD  Reference Manager.

If you are working on a network, it may not have been installed on your computer.

WarningReference Manager is intended primarily for CAD managers who thoroughly understand paths. It changes multiple paths at once, and you cannot undo your actions. Use extreme caution, especially if you are working on a network.
