I'm working on this massive architecture scene and i'm trying to move some rather small braided steel cable in the scene when i go to move it the objects moves in rather big increments instead of small ones. I check to see if snaps was on and its not, on what i can do to can more precision over my placement of these cables.

My query is to do with panning around a Viewport in paperspace.
I have one drawing of a venue with contents and have the same venue but with different contents directly below it.
When I copied the venue I locked the ortho and copied the venue.
Now my paperspace looks at the first venue.I have copied that paperspace but wanted to make sure that when I pan down to fit the venue into the viewport that I lock the ortho and hit the same view size and location on the paper as the view before.
Is there a keyboard short-cut to lock the ortho as I pan down to the model space I want to see?
my ucs keeps moving when i try to pan inside my viewport and it doesnt allow me to pan my drawing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy my viewport is moving to the right when I print it in batchplot.
I tested by printing the outline of the vport and opening the resulting PDF in a PDF viewer.
The vport is exactly the same dimension but is about .5 inch off to the right.
I'm working in a locked viewport. Every time I move the view with the middle mouse, I lose the selection. Is there a way to change this?

Explaining: You have created layout which includes multiple viewports with different scale and size (view, section). Now you copy the layout to create a new layout with with same viewports. Now you have to change the view in all viewports. I have used technique where you double-click in viewport and you navigate in modelspace (pan/zoom) until you reach the right position.
The problem is If you have like 100 layouts with 10 viewports each, it takes very long time to pan the views into right position.
I have a some theories:
1. If I could see the viewports in modelspace, I could drag them all into right position without navigating them one-by-on in paperspace.
2. If I could pan the view in viewport by specific amount lets say 10m to the right.

This may be vertices or a point cloud whatever. They then stay in view , when viewing the box from another angle then the surface seems to swirl with patterns. I dont have this problem on my previous 2009 version.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll the object on the scene are invisible in 1 viewport, even if I switch the viewport to other cameras they are still not visible.
I have tried changing the shading styles, other things like clipping, xview. Even restarted 3ds max for that matter but no luck.
The company I now work for does everything in 3D with vanilla AutoCAN'T, 2012-2014. There are only a few 2D objects in any file. The problem I'm running into is when dimensioning the 3D geometry in paperspace, the dimensions will not always stay anchored to the points that I've snapped to. If I have to go into the block editor the dimensions will fly all over the place when I exit it.
VIEWBASE really useful to alleviate this problem, but not everyone is on the same version and we're saving back to a 2010 format which creates proxy objects when opened on another machine. I'm not sure if I have the freedom to start using it.
I have some viewports in paper space and when I resize the view port, the objects inside move in a strange way. I don't know if a variable got reset or something but this is weird. Normally I can resize a viewport and the objects stay in the same location. But now they seem to be moving relative to the edge of the viewport.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a max file that have objects with vray materials. I do not have vray in my computer because I use mental ray to render. Problem is, 3Ds Max seems to lag and freeze. So when i installed a trial version of VRay, the file worked just fine and there is no viewport lag. But when the trial is over, my viewports started lagging again. The whole PC lags and it seems as if 3ds max is using the pc at 100%. I practically can't work on the file. I don't want to have to purchase vray only for the purpose ot making the file work.
Is this an issue to be fixed by Autodesk or Chaos Group?
First I click in my viewport and select a few objects (lines/blocks etc) then whenever I type Pan or hold down my center mouse button to Pan. The Command line says the Viewport is viewlocked switching to paper space.
Now by switching to paper space everything I selected has now unselected. This basically leaves me the option to select what I see on the screen at one time and can't pan along and select anything else which is unbelievably frustrating on large drawings.
I recently started a trial for a program called PDF2CAD, the test file I converted worked fine. Everything is selectable and editable. When I move something it does show up while moving/copying. However, when I make additions to the drawing, text for example, and try to move/copy it it does not show up while moving.
PDF2CAD converted the PDF to a DXF format, which I then saved as a DWG.

I just started on the roof of the round house I'm working on. I use spacing tool to copy shingles around but now I'm thinking is there an easier way. This takes time. Can you think of any? I was always missing one "tool" in MAX and I think there probably is one. You know when you select many objects and use scale to scale them all (using one center, not each owns), and the objects move as if they are pieces of explosion or implosion (towards or away a centre). But also, they change size of course. Is there a tool or a way to just MOVE the objects this way? Away or towards each other but not scale them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to set precision to 3 decimal places which is in millimeters in my case. That is enough for the building industry. Recently, I found out a co worker worked on my drawing while I was on vacation. Something seem out of place, so I set the precision to 8 decimal places and noticed everything is off by a bit. In general, 0.00000002 isn't going to affect the project, but it just bugs me a lot. I spent hours lining everything up perfectly, just to find out most objects shifted again by a tiny bit after 2 days.I tested out a few lines by fixing them in the block editor and saving it. But everything I reedit them, they shifted again.I asked the co-worker if he remember what he did, but couldn't come up with a solution.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I am working on a very large project (AutoCAD Architecture 2012) and when I rotate my view, some of the 3D objects will randomly fly out into space. The strange thing is that the grips for the object are still where the object needs to be.
Below should be a picture to explain what I'm talking about.

Is this a bug? Is there a fix? Is this user error?
I am using Autocad 11. I am working on some 12 year old drawings for a railroad museum. They are a mess. They look like they were done be an old pencil guy. Lots of views all over the drawing space rather than using layers to his advantage.
I am watching all the tutorials that i can find. There are Blocks on wrong layers.
I want to move a group of lines (part of the stuff on one layer) onto a new layer that i have created. Is it as simple as cut and paste? How do I prevent them moving during the process?
I tried making their layer current, then selecting the items, then cutting the items. Then i made the new layer that I wanted them on Current, then pasted them. I has to very carefully line them back up, and they are still on the original layer.
I notice that, for example with the the text creator, you can move the text around the canvas before it "freezes up" so to speak
How can I move text, or an object, around after this happens
Can you freeze text objects on the same layer in one viewport but have it still appear on the other viewport without having two separate layers.

I suppose when you open a file in Corel draw, it is loaded to RAM and apart from cases when the file is autosaved or backup is done etc it should not depend on actual drive on which the original file is saved.
However I have very often problems recently with corel freezing for some time when just trying to move even small object inside the file. I am using network drive and write speed on it is not the fastest but still 25MB per sec. I am thinking of upgrading to 1Gb but my crucial question is:
Is it at all possible that internal work within a document is somehow dependant on connection speed with the drive? It doesn't happen all the time but when it happens there are no processes in the background that could possibly affect the Corel Draw performance.Graphic Designer, Web designer and playing with Video and Audio mixing and editing as well ;-).Working for Large Format Printing company Carrick Signs.
I found that Photopaint X6.1 is very unstable when i'm trying to move objects down or up.
Bad news is that its happening after longer period of work like around hour or more, designs with hundred or more objects.
90% of "not responding" errors are caused by moving objects down or up.

Somehow I must have activated an option to only be able to move any object a certain distance at a time. For example, I have a circle that I want in a certain position but I can not move it there with my mouse. Instead it insists on moving 18,9 pixels in any given direction whenever I'm moving it with my mouse. To get a specific position I have to enter its position manually.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from ACAD 2007 3d to 2012 3d. The rest of my organization is using a "mix" of older versions, so we still save to the 2004 format. Text objects "moving" to different locations or disappearing on opening files in newer versions of ACAD? I've had two instances so far. In one case, a 2012 LT user added a leader/text and the 2000 LT user could see it. The text was clearly there in the 2012 users file. In the other case, I opened a file I worked on in 2007 and text objects seem to be moved about randomly when looking at it in 2012. Everything still looks good with the file opened in the 2007 though.

I have the North wall of the house in a design option for the living room at the moment. But I have decided I no longer want that wall in the my living room option, I would like to move it to my kitchen design option so I am able to move a window that is located on that wall. I cannot seem to find a way to move a wall from one design option to another or have it in both if it is already part of a design option. How I can get this wall and the windows located on it into my kitchen design layout without having things being double counted in the schedules?
