AutoCAD 2010 :: Paperspace Applying Dimensions To Views

May 15, 2013

I am in paperspace applying dimensions to views. When making a new Mview and scaling the view all the diensions move to locations all over the drawing. Does something selected in the options I am not aware of?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paperspace

Jun 25, 2013

When I make a layout with a part of my drawing in a viewport, I switch over to paperspace to draw dimension lines in it. Although the layout is displayed in another scale (e.g. 1:100) it puts the right dimensions at the drawing.

But now a problem appears:

With one of my drawings the layout does not put the right dimensions at the drawing in paperspace. I really don't know what went wrong. Strange dimensions appear, as if there must be a strange scale factor somewhere. (Dimlfac=1)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Labeling In Paperspace - Dimensions Way Off

Jun 18, 2012

We do a lot of labeling in paper space and have been encountering a problem with our dimension command mislabeling lengths and widths.  Please see attached DWG.  The road width should be 24' and its labeling it 880'.  BUT measuring hoizontally it seemed to work fine.  Really strange.

I am using the dimension command and snapping nearest and perpendicular.  If I just click without using osnap it seems to work.

We tried using the DIM   /   DIMFLAC   /   V     /   and selectiong viewport

The funny thing is that I dont have this problem with every drawing.  Just some seem to have this glitch.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paperspace Change Without Notice

Oct 28, 2013

See the attached JPEG files for a viewable explanation.

Dimensions placed in paperspace that are scaled by the viewports, change on their own. This happens at no apparent frequency. And for no apparent reason.

This has happened after I've saved a drawing and reopened. Also has happened when I've moved or stretched a viewport.

Currently I am using Autocad 2012, but this has been happening for some years.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions Changing Scale In Paperspace

Aug 27, 2010

Modeling 1:1 in MS, dimensioning in PS different scaled viewports.  Plotted from PS, did further work both in MS/PS and notice dimension readings have scaled up by 99.98% and 100% to what they were in hard copy.  Changed dims in properties but for some reason they have reverted back to the percentage increase?  For example I have a 5745mm truss span that is now a 574.5 meter spanning truss!!??  Haven’t altered dimstyle at all or any scalings.  Laid another dimension again in PS along side the exaggerated one using same endpoints in order to check things and it’s fine.

Would like to know what has caused the dims to scale up in PS and, how to undo the problem, hoping not to have to re-dimension.

Attached is the dwg. and yes, I have dimensioned in MS but there was a reason.  It’s PS that’s causing the grief.

AutoCad 2D :: Get Paperspace Distances When Using Dimensions

Mar 22, 2011

When using dimensions in paperspace i get the paperspace distances. Not those of the object i've drawn in model space.
f.e.: if i draw a line of 100 mm in model, and my zoom e on it in a viewport of 420, I'll get the distance 420. Like the dimension is not interacting with the model, see? Thought it would have something to do with the snapping, but can't find the link.

AutoCad :: Paperspace Dimensions Are Wrong

Aug 17, 2012

When I try to dimension my drawing in paperspace the dimensions are coming back as inches instead of the many feet that the drawing actually is. My viewport scale is 1/4" to 1' and ive done many other drawings without ever running into this problem.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Model Documentation Generated Views In Paperspace Layout Tabs

Dec 12, 2012

My group and I are getting an infrequent but annoying problem with Model Documentation (MD) generated views in paperspace layout tabs.  We all on autocad 2013, with sp1.1 installed on x64 machines. 

We are seeing objects/ blocks showing in the MD views (viewbase created) in the layout that are no longer in model space.  One common factor in this is that these objects seem to always be externally referenced (xref) files that have been either unloaded or completely detached (both cases purges preformed afterwards to wipe any remaining blocks made no difference). In this latest case the ghost objects show up twice (we needed 2 of the same xref) at what appears to be the correct old coordinates. 

We have no work around for this and when this occurs we either have to revert to an older version from vault or create a new dwg, port all information over and recreate all views.  The interesting thing about this problem is that if we revert to an older version from vault, the ghosts do not reappear/ reoccur at the same commands they appeared at previously.

AutoCad :: Dimensions Show Backward In Paperspace?

Feb 20, 2012

In paperspace I have a left and right view. If i dimension something in left view it appears backwards in right. do i need to duplicate geometry for right view to dimension it there also? or is there a way to fix the reversed dimension?

AutoCad :: Can Dimensions In Layout / Paperspace Be Associative

Apr 6, 2013

i want to add some dimensions in paperspace. after creating some dimensions, if i double click on my viewport and move it around a bit, the dimensions in paperspace stay where they are. is there a way to get them to move with the drawing?

AutoCad 2D :: Attaching Dimensions To Object In Paperspace?

Jun 7, 2012

i have a little drawing in modelspace. in paperspace, i have a viewport. let's say it's set at 1/4" = 1'-0". everything looks okay so far.

i click on the 'annotate' tab, and then select 'annotative' for my dimension style. it has the little triangle icon thingy so it should be annotative.

i make a couple of simple linear dimensions on my drawing (still in paperspace). looks okay so far.

but now lets say i want to change the scale of my drawing. i change it from 1/4" to 1/2" = 1'-0". my drawing gets bigger, but the dimensions stay the same size and position. they're no longer attached to anything on my drawing.

then i change the scale again, let's say back to 1/4" scale. my drawing shrinks, but as soon as it's back to it's original size, the dimensions now suddenly get twice as big and are where they should have been at 1/2".

and it continues like that, when i change my scale, the dimensions change to whatever the last scale was at, so that they're never synced up.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dimensions Not Snapping To Snaps In Paperspace

Aug 28, 2012

I have just upgraded to 2013 from 2012. When dimensioning my viewports in paperspace, I will snap using the linear or aligned dimension and it will appear to snap to the first point, but when I snap on the other end, it will go somewhere way off the viewport or give me a "0" dim.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA Applying Drawing Dimensions?

Jun 22, 2009

I am wondering how best to apply drawing dimensions to a view. I am using VBA (Inventor 2010 x64) to modify a template skeletal assembly and save it. I have succeeded at generating the models, drawings, and drawing views, but have hit a wall when I attempt to automate the process of applying drawing dimensions.

I attempted to use GeneralDimensions.Retrieve with the DimensionsToRetrieve parameter, as I wish to retrieve only a few dimensions. My testing, however, indicated (and the helpfile confirmed) that the DimensionsToRetrieve parameter only work if the DimensionConstraint objects belong to a drawing sketch, and I'm retrieving dimensionconstraints from a model sketch. It appears to me that I will have to retrieve all dimensions and then somehow delete the unnecessary ones. This seems unusual to me--is there a better way? Can I, for example, retrieve a single dimensionconstraint at a time from the model rather than all of them at once? Perhaps its suitable applying drawing dimensions without retrieving them from the model?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensions On Isometric Views

Sep 28, 2012

We have been putting dimensions on isometric views and the dimensions have been coming out fine. Now, however, we have an isometric and the dimension is about 400mm out and is not on the plane/face it should be.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Whole Views Needing Dimensions Refreshed

Aug 20, 2013

I have had this several times now where I open a previously fine drawing to reprint it...(4 sheets in the .idw) and when I go back to the plotter I have dimension lines stretching off the page....whole clusters of dimensions missing etc.

If I double click on the dimension or right click edit the item...I do not have to actually do anything...just click ok after the edit box comes up on that one item edit, and ALL the dimensions come back in that view only.

I then have to go through and "edit" one dimension in each view to get all the views back to normal..

How can I set the multiple dimensions "ordinates" to scale correctly in base views. The old vanilla ordinate dims work fine, but power dims ordinate give me improper scaling.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Text Gone In Paperspace

Feb 27, 2012

A file created over a year ago (I believe with AutoCAD 2010) is needing to be updated.  I have AutoCAD 2012 and when I open it there is no text in my Paper Space.  However, if my manager is to open the same exact file with his AutoCAD 2012 he can clearly see all of the text is still in place.  Is there a setting somewhere that I have missed that may be making the text not show up?  All layers are on and visible.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensioning In Paperspace

Jun 6, 2013

Whilst dimensioning in paperspace I dont seem to be able to get the dimesions to sit above the drawing in model space. for example if I place a leader across the drawing to a specific point the leader sits under the drawing and is lost/hidden. how I set the dimensions to sit above the drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Viewport Scale In Paperspace

Feb 14, 2013

In paperspace I set the viewport scale to 1-1/2"=1'-0" on a ANSI D-size plot. But when plotted at (layout) 1:1, it comes out to be 1/8"=1'-0" on a engineering scale.

Explain Autodesk's logic?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Paperspace Plotting In Modelspace

Jan 9, 2012

In the plot dialog box the options Plot paperspace last and Hide paperspace objects are only supposed to be available in Paperspace however they show up as checked in some of our drawings when plotting from Modelspace.  They should be greyed out then.  (see attached)  If I copy/paste all objects into a new drawing everything is fine.  If I delete all layout tabs the options are still checked when plotting in model space.

The only thing I can figure is there are paperspace entities in my model space or that somehow paperspace is leaking through into modelspace.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Why Can't Modify Paperspace Viewport

Dec 4, 2012

When working in a paperspace layout I am not able to move or re-size the default viewport. Upon selecting the viewport and attempting to move it I receive the following command line message: "1 was not in the working set." The viewport appears to be fixed and non-editible. What does the message mean? Would putting the viewport in the working set make it editable, and if so, how is this done?

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 :: Pixelated Visual Styles In Paperspace?

Oct 19, 2013

The problem seems very simple. My 'conceptual' or any other visual style viewports plot pixelated, while the legacy wireframe plots perfect. It pixelates everything, linework, edges, fonts.  Of course I could just use wireframe, but then what is the point of visual styles I can't use?

In the same drawing with more than one viewport, the viewport with any visual style other than wireframe will mess up while the other one is fine. I have tried every printer, pdf printer, and all the dpi settings I can get ahold of.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Color Of Paperspace Outside Page Size

Dec 11, 2011

The color of the paper space outside of the page layout is a gray-white very bright that would  not allow the white lines and white letters to be seen.  I have looked at the Options dialog to see if that color can be changed, but I could not find the name of that area outside the per layout ( I have my paper layout to black, which is fine, but I do not know how to change the areas outside the paper).  This bright color came with AutoCAD 2012.

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 :: Plot Drawing With A Viewport In Paperspace

Jan 10, 2012

I am trying to plot a drawing with a viewport (of a 3D planview) in paperspace. The viewport has the "3D Hidden" shade plot property applied. The plot preview shows all the entities color-by-layer. I am plotting with a plot style that assigns all colors to black. Typically the plot preview shows all linework black when plotting with this plot style applied. The resulting plot (from an Oce tds700) shows the linework in a "grayscale" quality, not the normal solid black linework typically associated with a 2D viewport plotted on the same plotter with same plot style.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Snapping To Modelspace Objects In Paperspace?
