AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatch Not Showing Through Some Viewports?

Jan 26, 2012

He's got a series of roadway plans where the North arrow shows up fine on some sheets, but the fill (solid hatch) in the arrows doesn't display on others. The arrows are blocks, all the elements in the block are on layer "0" (zero).and the blocks reside in model space.  

Just for grins. I had him expand a viewport (where the arrow looks fine) to capture a problematic arrow and... it looks fine. So, it's not an arrow/block/layer issue. It's a viewport issue.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hatch Creation Ribbon - Will Not Close Or Stop Showing

Mar 1, 2012

I have Inventor Series 2011 and regarding my AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 have it updated to Version 3 (Product Version: E.208.0.0).

I am trying to work on some drawing in my AutoCAD and all the sudden the Hatch Creation Ribbon has decide it is going to rule the day.  All day, and likely tomorrow too.  I am not working on any hatches but why it has popped up.  And it WILL NOT CLOSE!  If I select the “Close Hatch Creation” panel button on the ribbon, it simply executes the last command that was ran.  So, I figure I just close down the drawing and close then restart AutoCAD and I should be good to go.  Nope.  Reboot the computer.  Nope.  Soon as I fire AutoCAD back up and open any of my drawings.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Xref Files Not Showing Up In All Viewports

Jun 26, 2012

I attach an xref to a drawing, plan profile, and align the parts of the xref in each viewport the way I want them to appear.

The host drawing is a generic plan profile sheet border. The viewports are set to the same scale same annotative scale, and are undefined, not a plan or profile viewport. I save the drawing and get out of cad all together. I restart cad and open the drawing. The plan view viewport is visible and the xrefs are also. In the profile viewport nothing is visible or only one line is visible. Items in the view port are viewable, not frozen in the viewport, not turned of. The annotative scale is exactly the same for all viewports as is the xref drawing.I am xrefing a civil 3d 2011 aliment and profile drawing into these sheets. The only way to see the xref in the view ports is to detach and reattach the xref. To make things worse this does not happen to all drawings that are using the border that I used to create this drawing set.

AutoCad :: XREF Model Space Not Showing Up In Viewports

Jun 12, 2013

I have a model space with a few XREF drawings. I have a layout with a viewport of these drawings. All seemed fine until I imported another drawing using XREF. I went to adjust this viewport and it is not showing the new drawing that has been imported into model space (I can see the three drawings that were there but the new one will not appear) to you have to like "reload" a viewport or something? (From my understanding viewports alwasys stay current with model space)

AutoCAD 2013 :: Viewports In Same Layout Showing Different Drawings?

May 22, 2013

Is it possible to show two different viewports in the same layout that show views from two different drawings?  So one viewport would show a section of the current drawing's modelspace, and the second viewport would show a a section of modelspace from another drawing? (and possibly update automatically like an XREF?)  Or would the easiest way be to just XREF both drawings into a new drawing, and then show viewports from them in the new drawing?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Hatch Not Showing In Viewport

Jan 23, 2011

I have a viewport that is not showing the hatch pattern. In one layout tab, the hatch shows. In another tab, the hatch does not. The layer is not frozen or off, on the sheet or in the viewport.

Other items and hatch patterns on that same layer show up. The display is set to 2D wireframe. I even cut - paste a viewport from the working layout tab to the non-working layout tab and the pattern disappears.

AutoCad :: Hatch Is Not Showing Up On Drawing Anymore

Feb 22, 2012

Hatch is not showing up on my drawing anymore. I use hatch command, pick area, pattern, color, scale etc and then when I press enter or preview nothing happens. Hatch works on my layouts though but not in model view.

Before all that happened, AutoCAD crashed and stopped working so I had to force close it.

What do I do now? How can I make hatch work again?

I'm using AC 2010 mac version.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hatch Not Showing When Converting To DWG - 2013?

Nov 28, 2012

I installed a brand new install of 2013 Product Design Suite Premium on a new machine.  When I go to run Inventor everything seems to work fine.  I make a drawing of a part and export to DWG.  That's a requirement here.  When I go to open the file in AutoCAD, the hatch pattern doesn't show and it looks like the boundaries for the hatch move to 0,0,0.  Very stange and I haven't been able to figure this out.  I installed Premium on another machine and performed the same export.  Works fine on the other machine.  The other machine however,  has 2012 installed as well. Could this simply be a bad install?

AutoCad :: Calculate Large Areas Using Fills - Hatch Not Showing Area

Jul 10, 2009

I've been trying to calculate large areas using fills but I keep encountering a problem with some of the hatches not showing an area and thus ruining my calculation. I've found out that I can correct it by removing certain crossing point between lines as is shown below in my screenshots. Is there any reason this is causing a particular problem and can I avoid it to save me having to go back over my hatches checking for these malformed hatches?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Viewports With UCS?

Jul 23, 2012

I have some aligned dimensions in model space - they look ok, text is oriented according to WCS. Also I have some viewports with UCS (I used commands UCS, PLAN) where dimensions look wrong, text is not oriented correctly. Is it possible to "update" dimension in viewport to orient text as in model space?

Programmatically created dims in viewports oriented as in model space, not considering current UCS.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Different Layer States For Different Viewports

Jul 3, 2011

I have two viewports in a drawing file. One is for existing and new conditions and one is for existing and demolition conditions. So, I want one viewport to freeze some layers and the other viewport to freeze other layers. After picking and freezing certain layers in each viewport, I created New Layer States - One called New Floor Plan and the other called Demo Floor Plan.

When I click inside one of the viewports and select the appropriate layer state it changes both viewports to the same layer state. That is not what I want. Is it possible to have one layer state in one viewport and another layer state in another viewport?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Layouts - Creating Viewports

Jan 4, 2013

I am trying to organize my drawing in model into different viewports for printing purposes.  However, in Layout # 1, once I delete an item it also deletes the item in model space. In Layout # 2, can't edit, select, highlight or anything ( I am in Layer 0).  How can I fix that ? Basically, I want to create several layouts, each layout will contain a certain section of my drawing in model space then. I am not "layout savvy", trying to get hang of it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Determine If Any Viewports Are Active

Oct 26, 2012

How can I tell when a viewport (any viewport) in paper space is currently active.

This is actually related to a .NET programming error, whereby even when the drawing is in Paper space, if a viewport is active, I am unable to programmatically access the Layout.  I need to be able to, at a minimum, detect this condition, then switch back to full paper space (i.e. de-activate the viewport) if possible.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Use The Layer State Manager Within Viewports?

Jan 31, 2013

Let's say you create a floor plan, and you use the Layer State manager to separate the framing plan, finish plan, reflected ceiling plan, etc. Now, when you go to create a sheet, you xref this plan into model space with all of the layers thawed/on, go to your titleblock in paper space and make a viewport.

Currently, if I click into a viewport and use the Layer State manager to show just the information of the RCP, it will freeze all of the layers I don't need, but it will freeze those layers in model space, instead of just within the viewport. It gets very time consuming doing it the way I always understood to do it; making sure all layers are thawed/on in model space, and then going into each viewport and manually VP-freezing each layer I don't need.

So can Layer States be set up to work within viewports, to only have those layers VP-frozen?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Irregularly Shaped Viewports Plotted To DWF

Jul 12, 2011

We (several people at my company including myself) are having a problem where we set up sheets for plotting in paperspace that include multiple viewports.  Often, the projects require us to use irregularly shaped viewports (i.e. not square/rectangular).  When we print the sheets to our plotter, to PDF, or to any other printer, the page looks fine.  However, if we print them to DWF using the DWF6 ePlot.pc3, the viewports will square off, allowing items that were not supposed to be shown outside of the viewport to come through.  This has caused extra information to show up across our sheets, making portions of them unreadable. 

We are at a loss on how to work around this, beyond only using square/rectangular viewports.  Is there a way to get the DWFs to match what we can get out of other plotters?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Layer Properties Not Carrying Through Viewports?

Apr 5, 2012

I have a sheet set with several sheets, each sheet with a viewport that ultimately xrefs to the same base file.  In that base file, I have changed some layer properties (color), but I can't get those properties to show up in the viewports on each sheet unless I go into the layer properties of each viewport on each sheet and change them individually.  On other layers, I have set them to be no plot layers in the base file, but they still plot on the sheets.  I have tried just simply freezing them as well, but they still show up in the viewports.  I have tried viewport overrides, but maybe don't do it properly?  How can I get these properties to translate over to the viewports on each sheet without going through each sheet one by one?

AutoCAD 2010 :: VPFreeze New Layers In All Layout Viewports

Aug 23, 2013

I have a drawing file with lots of layouts, some of which have multiple viewports.  I want to create a new layer and use it in just a few viewports.  Is there a way to set the default vpfreeze setting to frozen for new layers?  That way I can just thaw it in a few viewports instead of trying to vpfreeze it in a lot.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Linking Existing Viewports To Sheet Set?

Oct 11, 2012

I have an existing drawing with numerous viewports. I would like to know if there is a way to link those existing viewports to the set as "sheet views" without having to delete them and re-create them using the normal sheet set process. 

I've noticed that each viewport has a variable in its properties display called "link to sheet view" with a yes or no entry, but it doesn't seem changable. 

Is this possible, or must I re-create them from scratch?
