AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Duplicate Layout Properties

Jun 18, 2012

We draw several instances of the same base object, a box for example.  Different boxes have different features to plot on different layouts.  For example, on one of the boxes we dimension lengths, on another we might show levels or elevations.  We have multiple layouts based upon the number of unique features we need to plot.  Then we batch plot those layouts to a single pdf file with multiple pages.

We do not plot to a scale, we just use dynamic zoom to make the layout look good.

Once that first layout is set, I want another layout with the second box, then a third and fourth etc.

How do I get the new layout with the second box to match the first one?  I want the second box to be in the same position and be the same size as it is in the first layout.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Properties And Quick Properties Not Displaying Information For Objects

Jul 10, 2012

When I select any object, my quick properties tab is blank and my properties tab doesn't register anything.  Also, I get an error message when I go into my CUI to try to modify the quick properties tab.   Pretty frustrating. I've attached a couple of images for reference.  I've repaired, re-installed and unistalled and re-installed and still have the same probelm.

AutoCAD LT :: Polyline Layout Viewport Properties

Nov 8, 2006

How do you edit the scale property in a polyline layout viewport? I have a polyline layout viewport in Autocad LT 2002 that was created in full version of autocad 2000. Normally in 2002 Lt you can edit the scale properties in a layout viewport, but this is not available when I view the properties of the inserted polyline layout viewport. is there a way of changing the scale in either AutoCAD 2002LT or AutoCAD 2000 (full version)of this polyling layout viewport?

AutoCad :: Dimensions On Layout Mode - Match Properties

Nov 12, 2012

I'm doing dimensions on Layout and I'm facing a problem: Using the same configurations of dimensions, sometimes I get the right dimension, but sometimes, without changing any configurations, I get wrong dimensions.

At the same drawing, with the same configurations, I get different dimensions to the same line. The only way that I'm being able to correct it is by using Match Properties (from a correct dimension to the one that went wrong).

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Duplicate In Place

Mar 13, 2012

Is there a way to duplicate in place?  I have a instance where I am using a lot of subtractions and I want to have multiple copies of objects in the exact same position.  I am finding that when I do copy I often snap to the object but the direction for depth relative to the view I am in ends up being different.  Example being I have a 2" Diameter circle extrude that I want to be 120" long.  I created that.  I want a copy of it in the same position.  I am looking from the front so all I see is the circle.  I select copy and grab the center point and snap to the centerpoint.  Now I have its zero at the other's 120" mark.  I am hoping I could just run a duplicate command, but I cannot seem to find that.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Deleting Duplicate Attribute Tags

Mar 28, 2012

I have hundreds of drawings with attributes that are duplicated. I can't go through each individual drawing, call up BATTMAN and delete them one by one. I need a way to automate the process. The duplicates always show up in EATTE and show up most of the time in BATTMAN. I need a lisp that will find and delete duplicates shown in RED while leaving the originals intact.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Displays Duplicate Of Command Bar / Just Blank White Space

May 2, 2012

When I create a new document in AutoCAD, I get a weird gap of space right above my command bar that either displays a duplicate of the command bar or just blank white space. It is as if the comupter does not recognize it as part of the screen. My mouse will jump over the bar and I cannot type or select anything inside it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Duplicate Annotation Scales HARD-CODED In Drawing File

Apr 30, 2013

I have determined that an AutoCAD drawing has the unfortunate ability to have Annotation Scales "hard coded", meaning they CANNOT be removed from the drawing.

Let me explain....

In a detail drawing file (i.e. my master drawing file where I keep all of our standard details), I was getting duplicate Annotation Scales.  I would try to use the SCALELISTEDIT command to try and delete the anno scales not being used, but it would appear they WERE being used. (and resetting the anno scales didn't work either)

I was using a combination of tricks to determine WHICH annotation objects were using the duplicate anno scales. I would set ANNOALLVISIBLE to 0 and set the CANNOSCALE to the duplicate anno style to see where they were being used with no luck

I would then use the QSELECT command to group select each type of annotation object that were annotative, and check to see if they were using the duplicate scales. Again, no luck 

THEN, I decided to cut-n-paste each detail one-at-a-time from my master drawing file to a new BLANK drawing with only one annotation scale in it (i.e. 1:1).  I would paste a detail, and then enter the SCALELISTEDIT command to see which anno scales "came along for the ride".  I pasted a particular detail that carried over the duplicate anno scales, but when I checked all of the annotation objects for the duplicate anno scales - NOTHING!    I then deleted that particular detail, purged it, and then I was able to delete the duplicate anno scales.  But no matter what I did to try and fix that detail (i.e. wblock, cut-n-paste, save-down, etc) the duplicate anno scales simply will NOT be allowed to be deleted even though i cannot find any objects associated with them.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cannot Use Properties Box To Scale X Y And Z Independently

Jan 3, 2013

Mirrored blocks with annotative attributes, I know I can scale each one individually, but there are over one hundred. It would be nice to use the properties box and type in the scale. As soon as I type in the "x" scale, y and z follow! I need to put in negatives in x only.

Why do y and z automatically follow x?!?!?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Customize Quick Properties

Nov 23, 2012

I use Quick Properties in static mode mostly for counting objects and quickly seeing the length of lines and polylines. These lengths are listed in feet and inches. Would it be possible to add an additional length item to the quick properties menu which shows the inches/decimal length? Would be awesome as I wouldn't then have to do the math to convert to inches.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Display Dimensions In Properties Box

Jan 24, 2012

I'm trying to figure out two things that have changed:

1) Lets say i create a polyline, lets say its 15 inches long. I used to be able to click on it and have the length show up in my properties. it no longer does that.

2) Lets say i create a polyline, it's green and has a dot pattern. I decided i wanted to change it to yellow and hidden pattern. I can no longer select the line and change it under the properties, it will change it in properties, but not on my screen. then when i draw a new line it will be yellow and hidden. I end up having to matchprop to make it work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Text Won't Show In Layout

Oct 21, 2013

We have a problem with AutoCAD R2011.  The drafter made a rectangle, put some M Text in it, and when he looked at the layout the text does not show up.  It's on a visible layer, and when he takes some existing text and sticks it in the rectangle, it works fine.  We are just using "MatchProp" to work around the problem. Is there a way to "globally" set the text properties of the drawing to those of a particular instance of text?

I wanted to choose the same printer for many layouts but I found out that I need to modify them one by one.

Some of these layouts have “Adobe pdf converter”, others have the “DWG TO PDF.pc3”. What I need is to set the printer “DWG TO PDF.pc3” for all the layouts in one go.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Grid In Layout View

May 21, 2010

I received a drawing that has a layout with multiple mviews in it. There is a light grey grid showing in the layout, that I can't make disappear. Grid on / off command has no effect. Really it doesn't matter if the grid is showing, but it's so annoying! Creating a new layout would fix the problem, but is there an easier way to get rid of the grid?
