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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Show Set Of Particular Layers (of Same Drawing) In Each Layout

Apr 24, 2012

How to show a set of particular layers in each layout?
 
I’m wondering if there is a way to turn off particular layers in a layout without affecting other layouts.
 
For example, in the screenshots below, if I need to show only “1_walls” layer in the layout “p_04” but to keep all other layers turned on in other lay outs, then how can perform this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dynamic Block With Text Inserted Into Drawing Show Text Orientation Matched To Layout

Apr 17, 2013

Is it possible to have a dynamic block with text which, when inserted into a drawing, will show the text orientation matched to the layout? I have a non-dynamic block which is simply a donut and a piece of text. When I insert it into a drawing, the text orientation will change to suit the orientation of the layout. I created another block with the same entities but I also added a couple of lines extending out from the center of the donut. I added stretch and rotation actions in order to rotate and stretch the lines. I also gave the block visibility states so that either one or two lines would appear (the block is a utility pole,by the way, with the lines representing guy wires). When I insert the dynamic block into a drawing, I cannot get the text to match the orientation of the viewport. I've tried changing different combinations of settings but the text won't appear horizontal.

The two blocks I mentioned above are inserted into one file with a number of other blocks. When I check the properties of the non-dynamic block, the "match orientation" is set to YES. I cannot, however, change the "match to orientation" setting to YES on the dynamic block. Is this simply because it is a dynamic block or am I missing something? I don't create a lot of dynamic blocks and therefore I am not a wizard at it so I am assuming I am doing something wrong.

AutoCad :: Blocks Won't Show In Layout Viewports?

Dec 17, 2013

when I insert a block that is made up of different layer lines and shapes then they only show up in the model tab. The other layouts I have won't show the blocks even though the same layers are turned on and unfrozen in these other layout viewports just like the model space. It's looking like trying to use multilayer dynamic blocks will be pretty useless unless they work in every layout viewport and not just in model space.

AutoCad :: Trying To Show Only Portion Of Drawing In Layout To Print

Feb 2, 2014

How to get only part of the drawing to show up to print. I've drawn a floor plan and have copied it several times. I have also drawn several patterns that represent a few different floor tile layouts and then put them over each floor plan and after some trimming I have a variety of options that someone can choose from for floor tile layout. I'd like to show each one on a separate sheet and of course when I go to layout the whole drawing comes over and how to only show one floor plan at a time.

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?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Consolidate Layout Tabs

I would like to be able to consolidate my layout tabs. I have a drawing of a factory that is of some size and the plant is continually growing. I like having all of my information in one place as the drawings (one .dwg file) change. AutoCAD is not capable of doing so? I'm not willing to break up into separate dwg files either.

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 2013 :: Attributes Show Up As Text Without Manual Text Entry?

May 16, 2012

I would like to know how, if possible to make the attributes of a block show up as text.  Example:

I am working on a power utility design where each power pole has a sequential name and may or may not have units that need to be added into a contract.  I have my attributes set up where I can go in and assign a required number to a unit so I can export my data into excel.  The problem I am having is that I have to enter the text and change the attribute quantities separately.  Also, there are 40 or so different units and only a few certain ones required at each pole.  Is there a way to set the attribute only to display text if the quantity is greater than zero so my list is not 40 units long at each pole?

(I am using Autocad 2013, 64 bit)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotative Hatches - Different On Layout At Same Scale

Apr 5, 2012

I have this complex section of an architectural project, which is drawn at 1:1 scale (obviously). It has lots of constructive details, however i've made lots of layers and everything is under control.However, as I started to hatch the drawings, i was having big problems at using the same drawing for different scales, because non-annotative hatches also change their size with different scales.

So I began trying annotative, and i did it as i read in several how-tos. I made an hatch in the layout to know the perfect scale for the hatch, then applied that scale in model hatches. Then, in properties, I selected the scales at which that hatch should belong. Until here everything was OK!

However, as the ideal scale for the hatches (ANSI31) was something like 0.0003, here started the problems. The layout has an erratic behavior with similar hatches (I even tried to use match props to be sure different hatches had the same properties). On different viewports, some of the hatches appear as solid, and they plot just like that! As I zoom in and zoom out, the problem changes, as problematic viewports become right and others become wrong.

I tried to change HPmaxlines to 10000000, i tried to change the size of ansi31 in acad.pat, however the problem persists. It seems that the problem disappears when i have increase the hatch scale to, lets say, 0.05, however it's not that scale I want because of the presentation...

AutoCAD 2010 :: Created A Viewport on A Drawing Within A Layout Tab

Mar 16, 2012

I have created a viewport on a drawing within a layout tab.  When I go into paper space the available scale options are in metric units e.g. 1:500.  When selecting the scale that I require that should allow the drawing detail to fit within the viewport it is too large even when  the smallest scale available (1:5000)  should easily be adequate for the detail to fit within the viewport.  The detail within model space has been drawn in millimetres.

I guess that some defaults, scaling options  are conflicting with each other.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Importing Layout From Template Not Working?

Oct 16, 2013

So everytime I import a layout from my template, the scale comes out wrong. The border is way too big, viewport, and the stamp is also way to big. It's being scaled by approximately by 12.28 times.

Here's what I can share:

- both drawings are in inches in both files

- all that 'insunits' stuff is set to zero in both files

- 'measurement' and 'measureinit' is set to zero in both files

- using AutoCAD 2012

- xyz scale is all at 1.00

- the titleblock itself almost imports correctly, only some of my att text doesn't come out properly as well.

As far as i can tell it's the command 'from template' issue. Because when i cut and paste the templates layout contents, it comes out fine.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Page Setup Layout 09 To 2012?

May 2, 2012

We have just upgraded from 2009 to 2012. Also have merged with a New company that did use xrefernces for there title blocks and we did, and now i am trying to solve how to use there borders to create new page layouts.

Our page setups that we had in 2009 were created by a former employee that is longer with the company.

How we typically started a border/ sheet. We have a separate drawing file that has in model space a 24x36 border with our info that we want repeated on all our sheets.

Now that we are in 2012; The layout tap is a weird size and the 'layout black area' does not match when I import that 24x36 boarder file. The black area does not line up with "0,0,0" and that is what I and trying to figure out how to i make the black area of the layout start at 0,0,0 and be 24x36.

the picture i attached shows 0,0,0 and the 2 borders over layed.

the green box is 24x36.

the blue box is the new border which is ment to be sent within the 24x36 and the brownish red box is the old border and layout and what we used to use.
