I've created a drawing in model space, added text in paper space. When I go to plot the drawing the text is rotated 90 degrees instead of staying oriented the way I added it. There must be some setting that I am missing somewhere!
View 9 RepliesI've attached an image of my problem for reference. I've had this problem in other versions of CAD so it's likely a user error that I'm not clear on how to fix.
I have several dimensions which I'm trying to place on my drawing through VPMAX in my viewport, but the text keeps showing up upside down. When I manually tell it to rotate 90 degrees, the text remains upside-down but the landing becomes vertical. When I rotate 180 degrees, the text becomes vertical which isn't really useful. Rotating 270 degrees almost solves my problem, but the landing is once again vertical.
If it matters, the UCS coordinates have been rotated 90 degrees for ease of viewing in paper space.
I'm trying trying to plot something I just drew. I'm plotting from paper space and all the text and objects that are in paperspace come out under everything in the viewport that's their. I have tried display order but it doesn't seem to work; when you look at it on the screen the paperspace objects look like they are on top but when I plot it they come out underneath.
How I can fix this without moving everything into model space?
I have created some rectangles with a solid fill hatch in paper space in different colors, on different layers., when i plot them, they plot in black. what can i have checked or not checked to solve this? the viewport that i have in the layout plots in color, i am using the acad plot style.
View 9 Replies View RelatedNormally I plot in paper space and everything works well. when I plot in paper space all the lines ae much, much lighter and almost invisible, whereas if I plot the same drawing in model space the plot comes out perfectly, though not in scale. I must have pushed a wrong button somewhere but wnat button is beyond me.

In the model space the drawing is rotated so when I draw a vertical line it points up (which is what I am used to). However in the paper space, the drawing is automatically rotated so that north is now pointing up, and if I attempt to draw a normal vertical line as i did in the model space the line now points NE.
How can I rotate the view of the viewport in paper space so that my lines as vertical and horizontal. This would not be such an issue if it was just a plan, but I have drawn sections that just look ridiculous.
I have been having this issue for a few weeks, where my contour lines will not plot in paper space, but the labels do. If I plot from model space everything shows up. All layers have been checked and nothing is frozen or turned off in the viewport.

UCS -> new -> 3 point -> and saving the view works, but trying to figure out how to do this with paper space now. My purpose if for pulling construction lines from plans, for elevations. In the past I simply rotated the drawing, but if i had a layer turned off it would mess up their positioning.

The data is mapped to a layer, and it can be viewed in "Print Preview" but nothing comes out when i plot from paper space.

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.
How does one accurately rotate the view so that view in paper space is parallel and perpendicular to the border sheet without guessing the angle?

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.
I have a drawing that has several Paper Space tabs, and each tab has one or more viewports.
When I open the drawing, I can see all the information in Paper Space mode, and I can access the Model Space through the viewports, using the MS command. When I switch to Model Space, nothing is displayed.
So I just recieved drawings from a contractor and they placed all the multileaders and details on the paper space but when I go to change the model space things are no longer pointing at the right spot.
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.
ACAD 2010 text doesn't view the same in MSpace and PSpace! Model space is the acad default text: txt Paper Space it appears as it should as Romans. The drawings print as txt and not as it should Romans! When I change the text in model space to Romans, save the drawing, enter PSpace and the return to MSpace, it seems to 'reset' back to text!
This is specific to my workstation BTW, when I open the dwg file on a colleagues PC it opens Romans in both Model and Paper space.
I am relatively new to A.C. 2010 and have a recurring issue with copy and paste. Currently all I am trying to do is copy text from paper space into model space and it wont let me.

I would like to see a way of locking out model space while editing text in paper space. Unless you double click right on the text, you often end up in Model Space...I know - big deal right? It can become annoying or a big deal when a deadline is looming - when is one never? Also big fan of locking viewports.
When I create drawings of the objects in model space but can I add text annotations, leaders, dimensions etc in paper space.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a set of residential drawings. I Have read several different ways to achieve text size when plotting.
I currently have all my text and dimscale set to 0" height. I have the 'scale dimensions to layout (paper space)' radio button checked. However, I cannot see even the slightest hint of test when looking at my screen. I sent a dwg to a friend of mine who plotted it. no text was visible. What height should I set the text to in order to achieve an 1/8" tall plotted text? I cannot see text in either the model space or in the paper space.
When creating text in model space it appears both mirrored and rotated 90 degrees to the horizontal. However, when I create text in paper space it is fine. I have tried looking at the properties for the text but although I can find a place to rotate the text back to the horizontal it is still mirrored and therefore unreadable.
When I copy paste stuff from one document to another this also occurs.
I have a canon ipf605 plotter. I try to plot to a custom paper size with the "plot transparency" and it doesn't work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
i have been sent a border from my client which has been drawnt in model space and they are asking the border they sent me for my drawings to be inserted into Paper space. When i insert the border into paper space the border is way to big for the paper space and i dont know how to make it fit ISOA1 size.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
I reloaded my CAD and now I have a black background in paperspace. This is what I want but I want it to print white while haveing a black backgroud for drawing. How do I do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
When dimensioning in paper space and move or make any adjustment to the viewports the dimensions go haywire and move of the parts but not all dimension and not all viewports are doing this. I'm using the same dimension style and templates that I normally use.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
way to change the background color (color outside the "paper" in paperspace?
The light gray that I can't seem to change, is suboptimal for me.

It's not possible to work with annotation dimensions on paper space?
Using the traditional way and neither. Because AutoCAD 2010?
My mtext that i have created in model space is not visible in my paper space viewports. What can i do to fix this?
