AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotate 3D Model In Model Space?

Apr 13, 2012

Basically I've got a detail specific to my design, I've extruded all of the layers up to their desired levels etc, but now I want to be able to rotate it all so that instead of these layers being orientated vertically, they are orientated horizontally, if that makes sense. I understand that there is something involved with the UCS but I'm not sure how to get this to work. This may be an issue with my computer as I know my laptop graphics card is pretty rubbish and impacts a lot of 3d programs such as Rhino and SketchUp so this could be the issue here

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Get 2D Drawings From A 3D Model

Aug 9, 2012

What is the best way to get 2D drawings from a 3D model?  Flatshot will give a flat view but it does everything in the entire drawing and brings every line with it. 

Is there an easy way to get a 2d drawing from one thing in a 3D model?  We only have Autocad, no extras like Revit.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Flatten 3D Model

Nov 18, 2011

FLATTEN doesn't exists, and when I try FLASTSHOT it asks me for digits and I really don't know what to type.......the ultimate goal is to make all my lines "FLAT" since in top view they look good but in 3D perspective some are just way up and down(non-flat)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Model Space Glitch

Aug 6, 2012

I have a file thats doing something wierd, when I open it I can see the layouts just fine, the existing viewports show linework from model space. However, when I switch to the model space tab I don't see anything, my mouse cursor dissapears when I move it over the drawing area but reapears when its moved over the ribbon or the prospector/command prompt. Also, when I create a new layout with a new viewport, nothing is displayed in the new viewport. It's like the program cant regen the view? When I went into one of the existing viewports and zoomed out I could see all the linework in model space but when I switch to the model tab it won't show any linework or the UCS indicator or my mouse cursor!?!

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Make Manufacturer 3D Model

Oct 7, 2013

I am working in AutoCAD MEP 2011 building a 3d model of a room that has a significant amount of piping in it. I've got the piping finished and have recieved .sat files for the pumps from the manufacturer. When I insert them via ACISIN, they cause significant hesitation in the program. I need to be able to move smoothly through the model for client presentation.

Any good way to reduce the complexity of the pump model without affecting the look of it? In other words, I really only need the shell of the pump to set in place. I did try a conversion to a mass element and then to a 3d solid but it had little effect.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Render Model Via Script

Jul 23, 2013

I want to start rendering during the times a pc is not in use (my first thought: scrip). So I started searching the internet, testing, trial and error and now I am at the point that my model renders perfectly if I type all the commands in the command line. But when I excecute the exact same commands via a script, a lot of my 3d-components are left out (for example, in a piping skid, I see my valves, bends, Tees, steel profiles, but not the pipes or plates). Someone mentioned that it might be the object enabler (?). I have no experience and can't even guess how to use an object enabler, let alone in a script.

The script I am using is:

_VIEW _R
FrontView2
regen
Render
presentation
R
640
480
Y
P:image_1.jpg

[code]...

I am using autocad 2012, the model is created using Bentley Plant design and prosteel and attatched as XREF.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Set Model Space Dimscale In Paperspace?

Mar 19, 2013

I dont use paper space at all. i mostly work in model. but i just want to explore the paper space side.

I have my lpaperspace dimscale set at 1

In the model space my picture is drawn to scale, so its like 12 feet tall.

when i put the viewport in and get the picture positioned in the viewport, when i dimension the model in the viewport my dims are set according to the paperspace dimscale.

is there a way i set the dimscale in the viewport at a different dimsale then the dimscale set in the paperspace without having to set the dimscale in the model space?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Viewport - Switching Between Model And Paperspace

Jul 9, 2012

Am using Autocad 2012 with SP2 downloaded, note the problem does not occur in Autocad 2013... So basically if you open the dwg you will see it opens in paperspace, the viewport is locked to a specific scale etc. Now go into model space where the dwg is, you should be able to zoom around, pan etc fine, problem is when you now go back into the layout or paperspace. You will notice that upon re-entering paperspace that the vport is highlighted, ie there is a thicker outline of the vport boundary, however am still in paperspace according to the tabs. When you now try zooming in or out using the mouse scroll you will notice an additional copy of the viewport is imprinted on the screen. Thats the problem.  Doing a few undos will set you back right again. 

So far we are inclined to think that its either something to do with the UCS or the units that the program is getting confused with but havent been able to find a solution. Also bear in mind that it seems to work fine in 2013. Its probably something really simple that we've missed but thought would try anyway Will attach the dwg file.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Convert 3D Faceted Model To Wireframe Only

Jun 8, 2012

I've got a very complex 3D AutoCAD model (exported as DWG) that's come from an external company that use Micro station.  Ultimately I'm trying to link it into Revit, but I'm having problems doing this.  What I'd like to do is convert the 3D faceted model into a wireframe ONLY model, ie. remove all the faces. (I've got another wire frame model in Revit already so I know this will work)  I know you can change the 'view' by using SHADEMODE but I'd like to actually remove the faces from the model all together leaving only the lines on the 'edges'.  So the Wireframe view of Shade mode is exactly what I want but I need to get those faces out somehow.

I've tried exploding it all, but that only gets rid of a few faces ...thought exporting to DXF might do it but hasn't.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Model View From Block VLISP

Nov 6, 2013

I'm trying to create something great VLISP app that extracts an attribute and vertices for each instance of a selected block and creates a model view based on those inputs. This is my first attempt at a VLISP app.

Let's say there's a drawing populated with a block that has multiple visibility states for different size viewports and an attribute to label your sheet number. Once they are laid out, you run this app and it prompts you to select the "viewport block" that is placed. The app extracts the block name and for each instance it extracts the attribute name (sheet number) and vertices of the extents for the viewport. You will need to add the insertion point to the vertices, so that will have to be extracted as well. The app will then run the VIEW command to make a model view with the extracted data from each block.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Link Attributes Paper To Model?

Jan 24, 2013

Is there a way by which I can link  a paper space block attribute to model space block attribute

In other words

Paper space as a block Title and attribute "QTY"

Model space has a block X and attribute "qty"

Is it possible to edit "QTY" and as a result get automatic update on "qty"

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multileader In Paper Or Model Space?

Nov 9, 2013

in general, I add my multileaders in paperspace after I have set my model space scale.  However, I am now bound to that scale! That is, ML in paperspace really only have one scale: 1-1, right? For example, I wanted to zoom in to a part of my project (ie, reduced my scale by a 1/3) and all my ML we pointing erroniously into space.

Just so I undestand, if one anticipates changing the scale of a drawing mid-project, the ML should be made annotative, and placed in model space?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Model Versus Paper Space

Aug 16, 2012

I received a drawing form a vendor that is in 3d (27 meg)...this drawing contains the model and 4 paper space sheets.

These sheets contain different pieces of the 3d model.  I need to create four 2d drawings (one for each sheet).  I have tried "export layout to model" with no luck as most of the drawing does not export.  I have tried to copy to clipboard but, drawing is too large for the clipboard.  I have looked in the "help" and there seems to be nothing on converting a 3d drawing to a 2d drawing or extracting indivigual sheets to a 2d format model.  I have tried exploding the information on the sheets in order to get everything to export but that doesn"t work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 0,0 Paperspace Versus Model Space

Aug 22, 2012

Suddenly, this week, Paperspace no longer has a 0,0.

For decades I've inserted my Titleblocks in Paperspace at 0,0.

This week, it inserts it relative to 0,0 in Modelspace in one of the Viewports.

Which means the Titleblock is "Waaay Offf" to quote Rodney Dangerfield.

If I draw a line in Paperspace and start it at 0,0, again, it's the Modelspace 0,0 in a Viewport.

Was this an improvement that I didn't know of?Or did I accidentally change some setting?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Model Space Jumping During A Command

We are running AutoCAD 2011 and 2011LT on Windows 7 with 12gb of ram and a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 video card.

The problem did not happen to often when we were on XP, but now, whenever we're in a command, the screen jumps as if snaps were turned on with 1/2" spacing. We've tried upgrading the drivers and graphics cards as well as installed all updates I could find. We make sure drawings are purged and audited and Layer manager IS NOT kept open.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Ltscale In Model And Paper Space

Apr 24, 2013

I've picked up someon elses drawings and for some reason in paperspace the ltscale is set to 10. i've tried changing the global scale factor to 1 in the linetype manager but it keeps changing back to 10 when i tab through the different sheets.

i normally have both  my ltscale and psltscale set to 1 in paper space (and celtscale=1)  and have a custom macro asigned to a button for my modelspace views ie 1.100,20,10 etc and a macro/button setting the ltscale back to 1 when returning to paperspace and this worked nicely.

why the global scale factor keeps reverting back to 10?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Locate Drawings In Model Space
