AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Layout Ribbon Tab With Both Viewports And Modeldoc?

Aug 27, 2012

I am curious how the default workspace “3D Modeling” is able to combine ribbon panels from both the acad.cuix file and the modeldoc.cuix file in one tab.  See attached screen shot to see where I highlighted the differences between the tab in the workspace and the tab in the acad.cuix file.  I am trying to recreate this in my workspace without having two separate layout tabs.

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 :: Layout With Multiple Viewports To DWG With Viewports Flattened Out

Aug 23, 2011

I have a lot of sheet DWGs with a single layout in each. The layouts have several viewports into model space.

Is there a way to export out the layout tab where the viewport contents have been converted and placed into the layout space?

Ideally, I'm hoping to basically convert the viewport heavy paperspace into a dumb model space layout.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Viewport Of Solid In Layout And Dimension Inside And Outside Diameters

Aug 8, 2012

Having trouble with diameter and radial dimensions since upgrading to 2013.

For example, draw two concentric circles and Presspull (or Extrude and Subtract) so that you get a hollow cylinder.  Then create a viewport of this solid in a layout, and try to dimension the inside and outside diameters.

One of the two dimensions will work properly (seems to vary which one).  The other will magically "jump" when placed (ex. the OD dimension will jump and become the ID, or vice versa).

How to resolve this?  Our guys are having to do absurd things like redrawing the circle in paper space and dimensioning to it with a scale factor.  Is this some sort of 2013 bug, or a setting?

AutoCad :: Plotting Layout With Viewports At 1:1?

Jul 4, 2012

I made a 90 meter box in model, created a titleblock and added a viewport in layout. The viewport scale is 1:1. Plotting scale is 1:1. It just dawned on me that because everything is 1:1.... I should have a peice of paper 90 meters long. My thick head has managed to confuse me, Does Cad apply a scale to the viewports even though its set 1:1 and plotted 1:1?

AutoCad :: Printing Layout That Has 3 Viewports

Nov 14, 2012

I am printing a Layout that has 3 Viewports. The View ports are of an aerial photograph that is a 600DPI TIFF file about 1GB in size. When I print the single sheet 24x36 the PDF file is 75mb

I am new to Acrobat X, I had been using version 7. I remember there being a reduce file size option in the old version but I cant find it in X.

Any tips on getting the printed PDF file smaller? Is it something I can do in AutoCAD or Acrobat?

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 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 3D :: 3D Viewports Obscuring Dimensions In Layout Space?

Dec 28, 2012

Here is a problem I am having in autocad 2011 and is very annoying dimentioning 3d modes in paper space the viewport line obscures any line in layout space that corsses it I have tried all the usual tricks send above bring to fron etc Ive frozen and turned off the viewport line etc nothing works!!

it only happens with 3d objects what I do when detailing something is keep the 3d model then create flatshots of the object i need to detail thendimentions the flat shot objects however if any single 3d element is in themodelspace I get this obscured dimention crap it is funny i dont recall this being a problem in version 2006 am I missing something or is autocad 2011?

OK I worked around this by making sure the viewport for the object I am detailing is set to 2D wireframe however i would like to add some notes to the 3d model through the viewport without turning the model from conceptual to wireframe.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotative Objects Not Scaling In Layout Viewports

Oct 30, 2012

After drawing in model space(1:1 Scale) I then dimension as needed using Annotative Dimensions, Multileaders and MText using the same 1:1 scale. But when I create the variuos viewports on my layout pages the dimensions aren't scaling to the viewport scale.

This is where it may be partly my fault; When I first started using annotative dimensions etc. a box would pop up asking what scale to use.  Because I am dimensioning in model space, rather than always seeing this text box I selected "Do not ask again" check box to always use 1:1 scaling.

These are some of the other settings in place;

ANNOAUTOSCALE = 4
Annotation Visibility = ON
Automatically Add Scales = ON

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Select All Viewports In Drawing / Get Name Of Layout

Sep 29, 2013

I need to select all the viewports in the drawing and to make some changes with them, I'm planning to select them all with ssget command. If I do that I will have one viewport for the paperspace itself in every layout. One of my question is, how to know which viewport is the paperspace itself?

Second question is, how to get the name of layout in which one is the viewport? It is important to me that the lisp is really fast, so I'm planning to do the most of stuffs with vla commands.

when it comes to viewports in paperspace in 2013, due to the nature of my work i have several layout drawings all drawn on top of each other and all with ther own txt and dims etc, which again is all on top of each other making it impossible to work in model space, for this reason i work in paperspace within a viewport but now i have upgraded to 2013 while i am in mid command e.g. dimension and zoom into first point then zoom back out and in again to second point, by this time i have been kicked out of the viewport and just in paperspace so cant complete the command, doesnt always happen?

i want to bring the Square detail (model and viewport with annotation) from Dwg A to Dwg B,while copying the Square and pasting it in Dwg B with the same reference points, i am having the square object over the Triangle in model space.I do not want to move the triangle since that is matched with the viewport on the paper space and annotated

i want to move the Square to a new reference (while pasting) BUT in a way to have the layout annotations matching and being asscociated with it,
