AutoCAD 2010 :: Draw Dimension In Paper Space
May 22, 2013I'm trying to draw dimensions in paper space but:
It's not possible to work with annotation dimensions on paper space?
Using the traditional way and neither. Because AutoCAD 2010?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Put Dimension In Paper Space
Jan 19, 2012I am attempting -- without much success -- to put my dimensions in paperspace. The problem is that sometimes (almost always) the dimension value is in paperspace. That is, when I do a Linear Dimension of two points of an object while in paperspace the resulting value will be a few inches instead of many feet.
My model is drawn at full size; my viewport is set to 1/4" = 1'-0"; I am using ACA 2012.
I am not sure if it instructive, but I have found:
- The only time it comes out correct is if my first point is at 0,0. But if the second point is 0,0 it will be wrong (paperspace value). Bizarre
- most of the "wrong" dimensions have the "Associative" property set to "No". The box is grayed out so I am not sure how to change it.
- If I MEASUREGEOM, the value is the correct model space length but if I do a linear dimension using the same two points the value is in paperspace.
AutoCad 2D :: Associative Dimension In Paper Space
May 15, 2012I created several dimension styles to use in paper space. All of these work perfectly, and accurately if my dimassoc is set a 1. However I wanted these to be associative dimensions. When I change the dimassoc to 2, the associative dimensions aspect of this works, but the dimension text is multiplied by the scale factor for some reason.
For example, the dimensions should read 50' and now read 4800' when was scale factor is at 96 for 1/8" scale. How do I go about setting up my dimstyle to be associative and accurate? Typically I have several different scale viewports on each sheet in paper space, so I need multiple dimension styles.
AutoCad 2D :: Paper Space Dimension Box Position?
Oct 15, 2012I am drawing in a viewport on a layout sheet rather than directly on the model so I can work on the same model but show different layers. However, when drawing lines, instead of the box thay appears containing the dimension of the line remaining close to the cursor so it is always visible on the screen no matter how zoomed in you are, it is fixed half way along the line so it disappears off the screen so I cannot read it. This doesn't happen when working directly on the model and is very frustrating more than anything else. Is there a way to change this?

In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.
I can log into another user's computer and open the file fine. But when i use my computer or a brand new computer fitting all Auto CAD specs, it locks up. When I plot I have to reset my settings to the PTE standards every time.
I now get CAD errors when CAD is not even open. Also VTPSUHM barely works. I generally have to restart my computer several times to get it to work.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Fields In Model Space To Paper Space?
May 2, 2012determine if Fields can be used in model space inside a block and show up in the paper space view as a correct number, (say for a detail number)? I have all of my detail blocks in model space and would like to place fields in the title blocks of the details so that they would show the paper space sheet number that they are being shown on in paper space. I have done some experimenting and cannot seem to get it to work. Or will this just not work?
1.- Details in model space are blocks, and I want to edit the block and insert a field into the detail callout.
2.- I want to have the model space detail read the paper space drawing number, and have the fields change to the proper sheet number.
3.- The result will be the that the model space block fields have changed to the proper detail sheet number shown on the paper space border.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Model Space / Paper Space Display

What I am trying to do is copy them into model space but.... when I use crtl-c from paper, crtl-v to model it doesn't scale properly.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Occasional Incorrect Dimension In Paper Space 2013
Feb 13, 2013I have an odd thing going on with my dimensioning in ACAD M3013. I did not have this issue in any previous version.
I will set it up: all objects are drawn in Model Space. All drawn 1:1 scale. All annotations such as titleblock, notes, dimensions, etc is done in Paper space. We never do it differently. Viewports are created in Paper Space to a traditional scale, sometimes "custom". ACAD already knows the scale of my viewport, so when I go to dimension, all the dimensions are already correct. I have gotten spoiled in fact that they are correct. NOT ANYMORE! ccasionally, about 3-4 times a week, a dimension will be incorrect, like to an inproper scale. It only happens for a few of the dimensions in any given viewport. That is to say, in one viewport, dimensions will be scaled differently giving the incorrect value. I avoid picking objects in Paper Space to determine my Dim origins, but just picking a feature may give the wrong results. Happens with all 3 machines in our office.
Surely there are unimaginable variables to check and change, but this seems random and feels like a problem with ACAD.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paper Space
Feb 16, 2012I had the need on occasion to dimension in Paper Space. I set up a "Dim Style" to accomplish this in either 1/8" or 1/4" Scale. The problem I am having is the consistency of the actual dimension.
For example: I could draw a simple box 10'x2'. When I dimension in Paper Space, sometimes it correctly displays the dimensions and sometimes it incorrectly displays the dimension.
I attached 2 screen shots of what is happening. Notice the dimension on top of the box shows 10', but when I dimensioned the bottom of the box it shows 480'. This seems to work at random.
The other screen shot shows the Dim Style settings I used.

Jul 8, 2013We detail an extensive amount of 3D solid entities using viewports in layout tabs. Most of detailing entities are in model space, things like dimensions, part callout, and other text entities that provide description as to what's going on in the viewport. Periodically, there is a need to create entities in paper space. Lets say for example, I'm zoomed out to the layout of the page setup, and I have a viewport with a lot of 3D solid entities. Still zoomed out now, I want to add an icon to the corner of the viewport. When I invoke the "endpoint" osnap to insert my icon at the viewport's, without zooming in, and try to pick a corner of the viewport, the icon gets inserted to an endpoint of an entity that's in model space. What a pain in the behind. The only real work-around is to zoom right into the corner of the viewport, which defeats the whole point of osnaps in the first place.
I remember this not being the case. Did AutoCAD introduce a variable and set it's default to something that I don't it to be, or is this a screw-up of AutoCAD?

Aug 15, 2012How to change your settings so that when dimensioning an object that is in model space, while floating over it in paper space, it will give you the actual dimensions in model space?
Seems that it should be a variable setting or something you can change in DIMSTYLE.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimension Linear Distance From Draw
Mar 21, 2012I'm using AUTOCAD 2011 x64 (E.208.0.0)I get the dimension linear tool;I specify the first extension line origin clicking somewhere;I specify the second extension line origin clicking somewhere; (ortho mode on)
Then I pull the mouse pointer to the direction I want the dimension go and I type 1, because I want the dimension lie down at a distance of 1 unit from the draw (a wall for example).
If I check the distance from the draw to the dimension line (not to the text) using de "Inquiry > Distance" tool I do not have that 1 unit I have typed, instead it retrieve a value like 0.9822, and this value varies on a random way, every time its different.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Multileader In Paper Or Model Space?
Nov 9, 2013in 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, 2012I 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 :: Dimensions Keep Changing In Paper Space
May 10, 2013I am on ACAD 2012 overlaying dimensions in paperspace to objects in model space..The dimensions keep changing to an incorrect number..Can't identify when it is happening yet. The dimensions are always larger
If I change dim style and back again the correct dimension appears. I can then matchprop to get the other dimensions to appear correctly. But twenty minutes later they are all changed again
I turned of Annotative scale for dimension features and use overall scale of 1.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Ltscale In Model And Paper Space
Apr 24, 2013I'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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Paper Space View (not Just Viewports)
Jul 31, 2013I have wall section sheets that are best viewed in portrait mode, but use the same landscape page setup as the other sheets in the set. So the viewports for the sections are rotated 90 degrees and difficult to read on the screen. Is it possible to rotate the paper space UCS and rotate the paper space "view" to match the UCS, like you can in model space?
I don't want to rotate the viewports and title blocks themselves & set up a portrait page setup. This is because I'm using Acrobat's PDF maker for batch plotting and not using the same page setup for each sheet makes one click, fire-and-forget publishing impossible. And I don't want to use DWG-to-PDF because it doesn't have any configurable image compression settings that I know of.
If it's not possible, then it's not the end of the world. We have AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD LT 2012 & 2013.
