AutoCAD 2013 :: Paperspace Viewports
Mar 30, 2012
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?

A few times out of each day when I plot all of my viewports will be moved of the printable area into the gray area below in paperspace.
I cannot figure this out as I have used a few different profiles from different machines and still have the same issue.

In paper space I have a rectangular viewport showing a floorplan. I have placed another smaller viewport over the larger vp in order to show a scaled-up detail of the floorplan. However I can still see the image from the larger vp below ( as well as the smaller vp's contents ), Is it possible to lay one vp over another, blocking out the image from the vp below?

i'm cleaning up some CAD files i was given. in model space everything's on one layer and there's a lot of stuff that overlaps/sits on top of each other.
there are like 50 associated paper space sheets.
is there a way for me to drag these objects out without affecting the viewports in paperspace?
i could probably start putting everything on layers and turning them off, but i generally like to be able to lay everything out so i can see it all at the same time.

In modelspace, architectural schematic plans sections elevations which, when viewported into paperspace drawings, are scaled to 1:100. I therefore work in modelspace with Current object scale = 1, global scale factor = 100. This makes dashed lines etc reproduce at legible scale in a drawing at 1:100.
What about when I move on to details, which in paperspace are scaled to 1:5? At present I start a new file with Current object scale = 1, global scale factor = 5. This makes dashed lines etc reproduce at legible scale in a drawing at 1:5.
Isn't there a way to achieve this, while keeping both the schematic and the detail drawings in modelspace on the same, single file?
Even the above system fails when I want to scale one elevation of the schematics at 1:50, or foundation details at 1:10.

I have a mac. I am trying to change the background color in paperspace from the eye straining white to a neutral grey. Everywhere I search I am told that the answer is in options>display and then change it to what ever you want. However, mac has preferences instead of options and no display tab. And in all the tabs i do have, there is no obvious alternative.

I am having a little trouble with the paperspace in autocad 2013, I am running windows 8. As shown in the attachment the paper underlay is missing or I dont understand the new process. I want to draw viewports that fit onto the specified paper size(A1). Without the digital picture of the paper under the viewport I dont know where to draw the viewport.

In Autocad 2012 the white cursor automatically toggles to black when moved onto the white background of paperspace. This does not occur in 2013. Imported the sysvaribles from 2012 into 2013. Cursor still does not toggle.

I have a document in which I have an image in its own layer set to 50% transparency but when I look at the paperspace the transparency isn't transferring. I do have "Plot transparency" checked under plot options.

how you get objects, say i drew a rectangle, to the correct size from model space to paper space. And why when you change the dimensions of an object to meters from milimeters, does it not change the size of the object on paperspace when it's at the same scale.

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.

We have just loaded AutoCAD 2013 from previously using Version 2012, and I am experiencing a very distubing phenomenon. While manipulating the commands in any vieport window in Model Space, the program automatically 'jumps' into Paper Space causing an interruption in work-flow, and losing any command which was in progress during the time. For example, if a number of objects were copied with the intention of placing them elsewhere within the same or another paper space window in 'model space' , the program would jump to paper space and the items would be lost, with the necessity of selecting them all over again. This can happen several times in a row.

When I attach a titleblock as an xref in paperspace, it is not lined up on my page that I have set up. It attaches to the upper right hand corner of my screen and I have to manually move it on top of my paperspace. I know there is a way to have them automatically line up.

I am working on a rendering on vanilla AutoCad 2013, and I am getting frustrated with having to reset my viewport to the named view every time I move my camera.
I know that when you create a viewport you can call up a named view, but is there any way to link it permanently?

I used pdf attach to insert a pdf into the drawing. I have a plan drawing with viewports that references the drawing file. I tried to turn off the layer in one viewport while leaving the layer turned on in another viewport but i could not get it to plot correctly. It's off in my drawing but when i go to plot its on in all viewports. What is the reason that this happens? my plan file is too large i may have to post it seppartly

I have drawn my model and am trying to put it into viewports. I have followed the tutorials provided to the letter, but when I create the viewport nothing shows up.

On one of my drawings which was created by someone else, the viewports don't have boxes around them. When you click on them in paperspace, it bring you into model space, and when you click on detail it opens up, but cannot expand viewport., you can't delete it. I want to expand it to bring in detail which is bigger now.

I've got a block that I want to scale in pspace, but I would like the attrib height to remain constant even at different scales. I have used annotative blocks in vports with much success, but I would like to do the same thing only in pspace.

i have
Dwg A: Circle & Square is drawn in the model space and 2 Viewports in Paper Space annotating the 2 objects
Dwg B: Triangle is drawn in model space and 1 viewport in paper space annotating the triangle
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,

I'm working with alot of overlapped x-refs and every layer for each x-ref will come in to the drawing. When I'm using the viewports I need to freeze all the layers for some x-refs that don't need to show in that viewport. Since each x-ref has well over 70 layers I am wondering if there is a simple way to freeze all the x-ref layers in the viewport.

Some of our drawings have the ability for the viewport view to be dragged despite the viewport being locked. Is there an alternate way to lock, or unlock a view besides the option located on the drawing tray?

Selection of overlapping viewports,I go two overlapping viewports.The issue here that I couldn't access the model space of the small viewport. Double clicking it will access the model space of the big viewport.

So in the last week or so, my C3D 2014 randomly decided not to copy viewports. It copies the box, but nothing in it. Plus you can't go into model space in the copied viewport. Just looks and acts like a normal rectangular polyline. But when you check the properties, it still says it is indeed a "Viewport" object.
Short of reinstalling the software, any setting that would cause this?

When hovering over this button in the layer manager the following is displayed.
"Creates a new layer and freezes it in all existing layout viewports. This button is accessible from the model tab or layout tabs".
Key words here being EXISTING and LAYOUT viewports. So I've got an existing xref attached to an existing layout and per the displayed tip this means, to me, any new layer created within the xref that has this option enabled will be frozen in all existing layouts.
Since a layout is a viewport, I assume this means the layout itself, not a viewport object used for viewing modelspace content from a layout.
Even if this means a viewport object used for viewing modelspace content, that doesn't work either, so what exactly is the point of this feature?

I have an issue when working in paper space in an active viewport. As a quick change i want to move a few items and im zoomed in to do so. Problem is, when i select some items, then pan with the 3rd button on the mouse to select more items, it deselcts all the items i previously just selected.
Is there a fix or something i need to change in options for this? In AutoCAD 2011 there is no problem, but my upgrade to 2013 has the issue and its such a pain, i've reverted to the old program.

I've been messing around with a 3D drawing trying to get it to plot properly. I have 4 viewports on the layout, and the issue is that parts of the viewport are being mysteriously chopped off, as if some great big white box is covering part of the viewport. This is definitely not an issue with printer margins - this is occuring in the middle of the page.
I've deleted all the viewports and created new ones, but the drawing is still being cut off in the same locations. 20 sheets of A3 and most of the day later.

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.
