AutoCAD 2010 :: Popup Height / Depth /angle Box Is Missing In Model Space
Mar 20, 2012
When i used to draw a rectangle, circle, line, etc- a box (or several) boxes popped up after i clicked the first point. These let me enter the distance then hit the tab button and go to a second box to enter height or angle depending on what i was drawing. There was also some popups that showed up when clicking the chamfer or fillet buttons but now those are all gone. When i input numbers, it goes to the command bar.
How can i get those small popup windows to reappear in my modelspace?

I have a bit issue with inserting xrefs in model space .Basically, when I insert the xref in model space, the xref shows in an angle.

In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.
In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.
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.

determine if Fields can be used in model space inside a block and show up in the paper space view as a correct number, (say for a detail number)? 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.

Basically I've got a detail specific to my design, I've extruded all of the layers up to their desired levels etc, but now I want to be able to rotate it all so that instead of these layers being orientated vertically, they are orientated horizontally, if that makes sense. I understand that there is something involved with the UCS but I'm not sure how to get this to work. This may be an issue with my computer as I know my laptop graphics card is pretty rubbish and impacts a lot of 3d programs such as Rhino and SketchUp so this could be the issue here

We have a bit of an urgent situation at work. Namely we have stepped over from standard AutoCAD 2010 to AutoCAD Architectural suit 2012.
The situation is as such that if we set our search path to our ctb and our dwt (nothing else no other search path changes) our dwt templates load as being visibly black/white all the colour information is wrong.
Upon closer inspection of elements draw in the dwt for example a line though it still displays as being physically black/ white the properties menu declares it as being the colour we need it to be for example red. We have double-checked in our plot dialogue box if the ctb is present and its presence is confirmed. The peculiarity is though if we try and locate it using our (findfile “CTB\NAME\AND\PATH” method the command prompt returns nil meaning as far as I have come to understand as missing/ not loaded/ not found. A line the properties menu states the plot style is set to ByColor and not by the specific CTB file as when the same line is selected in AutoCAD 2010.
We have quite an extensive customisation comprising almost of every kind of file AutoCAD has put up for user customisability so my instinct was that something within the whole customisation was causing our issue.
We have since rid of all customisations and reset the profile using AutoCAD and as double backup also via the registry keys, we also have deleted our corresponding AutoCAD application folder in the hope of eliminating some nasty that may of stayed behind.
We have no plug-ins that cannot be the problem. Further experimentation shows that if we create a search path using the following lisp the colours are displayed right for the duration of the AutoCAD session but upon restarting AutoCAD the colours again become black/ and white.
When entities such as the lines are moved the items being moved flicker across the screen in their correct colour, once placed the image instantly shows as being black/ white again.
As final symptom our model space colour seems to be the only thing effected, our layout tabs are fine however we don’t work in layouts but rather in model space.
I have also as last used the vars2src command in AutoCAD 2010 and imported the variable settings into AutoCAD architectural suit 2012 hoping that the issue was a variable setting overlooked, to no avail though. Neither is our desktop icon enabled with any switches such as profiles.

We experienced a problem. we have a drawing file, is about 1.6meg not big. while working in model space doing some 3D work, all of a sudden all the objects dissapear except for some text. all layers are on and thawed. we regen all, zoom all. weird thing is when we go into the paper space tabs everything shows up. so all the data is there some place but cant find it in model space.
there are no xrefs in the drawings and i had cleaned all the multiple copies out before to keep the file size down and more workable. this is happening on two machines. other drawings are fine.

DRAWINGS: I need to prepare a plan view of a complex part, which incorporates many different (parallel) heights. In the drawing, all of these faces are parallel to the plane of the drawing itself. There are far to many of them to show their heights using section views. The usual drawing convention in this case is to simply indicate each face on the drawing, and then express its height relative to a reference plane.
Until now, I have been doing this simply by measuring a height from the part, and then indicating it on the drawing by adding leaders and text, which:
1. Is extremely laborious
2. Obviously has no intelligent link to the actual part/drawing
My breadth of knowledge in CAD is not huge, but I know that in Gibbscam, for example, after setting the position of the origin in 3 planes, if I then pass the cursor over any parallel plane in the z direction while pressing alt, I will get the distance of that plane from z=0.
What I want is the possibility in Inventor to select a face in a drawing, which is in the same plane as the drawing, and straight away be given it's height relative to a parallel reference plane. Such a value should then update intelligently on the drawing if I modify that same height on the part.

I have a file thats doing something wierd, when I open it I can see the layouts just fine, the existing viewports show linework from model space. However, when I switch to the model space tab I don't see anything, my mouse cursor dissapears when I move it over the drawing area but reapears when its moved over the ribbon or the prospector/command prompt. Also, when I create a new layout with a new viewport, nothing is displayed in the new viewport. It's like the program cant regen the view? When I went into one of the existing viewports and zoomed out I could see all the linework in model space but when I switch to the model tab it won't show any linework or the UCS indicator or my mouse cursor!?!

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?

in general, I add my multileaders in paperspace after I have set my model space scale. However, I am now bound to that scale! That is, ML in paperspace really only have one scale: 1-1, right? For example, I wanted to zoom in to a part of my project (ie, reduced my scale by a 1/3) and all my ML we pointing erroniously into space.
Just so I undestand, if one anticipates changing the scale of a drawing mid-project, the ML should be made annotative, and placed in model space?

I received a drawing form a vendor that is in 3d (27 meg)...this drawing contains the model and 4 paper space sheets.
These sheets contain different pieces of the 3d model. I need to create four 2d drawings (one for each sheet). I have tried "export layout to model" with no luck as most of the drawing does not export. I have tried to copy to clipboard but, drawing is too large for the clipboard. I have looked in the "help" and there seems to be nothing on converting a 3d drawing to a 2d drawing or extracting indivigual sheets to a 2d format model. I have tried exploding the information on the sheets in order to get everything to export but that doesn"t work.

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?

We are running AutoCAD 2011 and 2011LT on Windows 7 with 12gb of ram and a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 video card.
The problem did not happen to often when we were on XP, but now, whenever we're in a command, the screen jumps as if snaps were turned on with 1/2" spacing. We've tried upgrading the drivers and graphics cards as well as installed all updates I could find. We make sure drawings are purged and audited and Layer manager IS NOT kept open.

Civil sent a sheet and reference file. I need to reference the civil file into my architectural model file. The civil sheet file has a viewport with most of layers and colors properties set the way I need them to appear in my architectural model floor plan. The civil view is using VPLAYER overrides properties. How can I get civil's viewport layer overrides set current in model space of thier file? I can reuse the file as my architectural backgound model file.

I've picked up someon elses drawings and for some reason in paperspace the ltscale is set to 10. i've tried changing the global scale factor to 1 in the linetype manager but it keeps changing back to 10 when i tab through the different sheets.
i normally have both my ltscale and psltscale set to 1 in paper space (and celtscale=1) and have a custom macro asigned to a button for my modelspace views ie 1.100,20,10 etc and a macro/button setting the ltscale back to 1 when returning to paperspace and this worked nicely.
why the global scale factor keeps reverting back to 10?

I was working in model space and when I hit zoom extents, I lost all of my drawings in model space. They must be there because I can see them in layout, but I am not able to locate them in model. For some reason my cross hairs and the ability to draft have disappeared too. I am sure I must have hit a setting that needs to be changed back.

i am haveing trouble with a viewport that is hiding everything that crosses the rectangular border. The viewport is acting just like a wipeout would. I got this drawing from a client and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I checked to see if there was actually a frame with the viewport but when I select the viewport it only reads as one object.

I need to change the text line width in model space, not the overall text width or the text line width/weight in paper space. Our mold maker wants to measure that on screen and he wants to set the text line width to 0.060”, while the overall text width fixed.
For example, the text “REMOVE FROM BOAT” is 3” wide total from first letter R to last letter T and height 0.4”. That is easy to do. The hard part is that he wants the line in each letter to be 0.060” (1.5mm) wide. I practiced the true type text which is measurable in model space, but that is fixed with for a certain font with a certain size. I can change from one font to the other and get different thickness but cannot change the width freely to 1.5mm as requested.

when working in my current drawing (Model Space), i create a new mtext item, and it shows in bold, i am aware of the common problem of the text items having a z height other than 0.00 causing this, but i have checked, and reset the z height, have also tried the flatten command, and even tried explode and then flatten/z height.

I am trying to import a Model Space (point cloud) from Cyclone intoCloudworx. Currently I am able to click the "Import Model Space View" and then browse to find the file I want to import. It imports it successfully, but nothing appears on the screen. What are the steps necessary to make the point cloud visible? And is there a way to import several Model Space views at once so we can manipulate them independently in Cloudworx?

I just changed jobs to a company that uses MEP2012. It seems as though it is not possible to revert to Acad classic with this version. So, I am trying to mimic classic as much as possible.
One of the challenges I have found is finding the paper space tabs and model tab? it used to be directly above the command line, is there a command to turn it on?

I have a big drawing and some Mtext from a text layer just disapeared from model space. If i switch to a Layout the text is visible in the layout view and I can select it in a floating viewport, but when I switch back to model again I do not see it.
I added new text in model where missing and now in the Layout I have duplicates, the old one and the new one.
If i try to copy/paste the missing text from a previous version of the drawing, the text just doesn't paste, is not visible.
