Is it possible to find and zoom to text without switching back to the model space.
ie I am in a viewport in paperspace and i want to find text which resides in model space. I want to zoom to that text in the currently active viewport and not switch to its location in model space.
I am currently running map 3d 2012 and my co-worker is running 2013. When she plots in paperspace, there is text that gets plotted that is outside of her viewport. When I open up the drawing on my computer, it plots perfectly. I attached a clip of it, the thick black is our drawing border, the viewport is where the color stops.

It reads great in Model tab, but in paperspace tab, my viewport is rotated versus the Model tab

Can you freeze text objects on the same layer in one viewport but have it still appear on the other viewport without having two separate layers.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy keyboard has a zoom key with + and - selections. I use to use this key in drawings to zoom in and out when in the AutoCAD application when we had Windows XP. Now that I have Windows 7 I can't do this. I can't find out how to assign this key on the Microsoft Keyboard interactive software either. I have the other keys assigned as desired.
Can I still use my keyboard zoom key to zoom in and out in drawings? If so, how do I set this up in AutoCAD, or do I need to do this through a Microsoft keyboard application?
I have some layouts with one viewport per page, and i am trying to make a small program to zoom to an incremental window from left to right for some model space cross sections for highways.
Any code to go into each layout, find the viewport and zoom by a window? i can derive from there.

When clicking into an unlocked viewport, to switch from paper to model space, the viewport automatically zooms to extents.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've built a game piece (Humanoid) I've set up UVs and now I'm ready to start painting. As a start I want to lay down some base flat colors to certain areas of my mesh, I isolated the body of the character and...Tools>Viewport canvas>clicked brush>chose diffuse, saved map and began to paint in the "2D view" window within Viewport canvas. After laying down some color, as I came closer to edges where more accuracy is needed I decided to use my wacom tablet, panning works fine but when I zoom it goes crazy with extreme zooming in and out. I have the latest wacom driver, I've checked the wacom options in the control panel etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking up what to do on digital tutors. It shows how to add blueprints to the viewport background and have it locked in via bitmap so that you don't need to use planes. I was doing fine following the instructons until it showed a button to lock the zoom/pan into place so that the image won't remain a constant size even if you zoom in and out. I can't find it on my '14 version, and where it is placed so that I can finish setting up my blueprints.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI imported a model into 3dsMax from Sketchup.
The model is a 5200 sf interior building space that I had applied materials & components to in Sketchup.
Now that I am working on the model in 3ds Max, I am having some issues with the application of materials to the objects. Basically, some of the objects kept some of the materials that I had applied in Sketchup; however, some of the materials did not come through into Max. When I try to remedy this and apply the correct materials to the object, it is linked/grouped to several other objects in the model that I do not want to apply the material to.
I have tried to make a copy of the material in the material editor and then reapply to the object, but it still applies it to several other unrelated objects.
Also, I seem to be having trouble with my zoom feature in the viewport....my zoom will sometimes work, but sometimes it will zoom all the way to extents of the model, and won't let me zoom back into the interior of the model space; I don't know if this problem is related to the previous issue.
Trying to change the color of a layer in a viewport (different than the default layer color (i.e. model layer color)). Objects are set to bylayer. Changing the VP color in the layer dialog brings up the color dialog, select a different color, click OK and the VP Color DOESN"T change in the layer dialog. It stays at its previous color. Occurs on several machines.

That would be like the invention of the wheel. For me it's a Buy/Don't buy option.
I have a problem. When zooming, 3D shaded objects fade away (everything except 2D Wireframe) and it is almost impossible to continue work (see attachment no1). If I manage to draw something on such a faded object (eg, a circle on the side of the box), only part of the screen / object has normal visibility (see attachment no2). Re zooming again cause fading.

is it possible to Zoom and Pan whilst I have a title box open.
I work for a company that has installed its own toolbar and and attribute box's to be filled out.
My issue is that I need to zoom into various parts of the drawing to be able to fill out all the boxes.
Currently I have to close the dialogue box down every time I want to move the drawing to a specific are.
If there was a command or setting that I could use to be able to keep the box open and move the drawing at the same time that would be great.
Is there a setting or variable that I can change so that when I have UCSFOLLOW set to 1 it doesn't zoom extents everytime my UCS changes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on a 3D model using 3D solids and 3D blocks, then I make a render of a view and works fine, but if I make a zoom in to a zone and render it then the 3D blocks disappear showing only the floor (a 3D solid) and sometimes the render is just plain black, after a zoom out everything works fine. I made an Audit, exploded the blocks, even when making a crop render. Attached images explain better.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from cad2012 to cad2013. In 2012, I could zoom in and out with the roller ball until I was able to see my entire drawing in its paperspace viewport. Now, in 2013, I can only zoom in extremely far with one movement of the rollerball and then zoom back out when I move it the opposite direction. There is no in-between like there used to be in 2012. This is extremely annoying because I find that the only option is to use zoom>window which takes way too long to get the result I need. Is there a way to change the interval in which the rollerball zooms?

Have one problem with dimensions. I can see them on my model, but I cannot see them on the plot!
Dimensions layer is OK (it is not "no plot" layer, "VP Freeze" is off), especially that this layer contains some other elements that are visible.
I created a drawing in model. Then some how messed up and have two images showing up in landscape view via viewport. So it seems that their are two viewport windows working?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to use a window zoom in a layout viewin model space my window offsets the the right and below the mouse pointer by a consideral distance. Window zoom works correctly in Model Space and in layout view in paper space. It is doing it in all of my drawings New or Old so I'm guessing its a global setting of some type.

When I resize my viewport the event must be triggered.

Is it possible to scale a viewport with different X and Y values? Kind of like inserting a block with different X and Y values.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with 13 layouts for a set of easement documents. They are in TN state plane and if I close and open the drawing the coordinate system in every single viewport on every single layout resets itself centered about the origin (state plan of this part of TN is around (2210437,238922.) so 0,0 is a long way from there.)
This error can be reproduced simply by saving and opening the drawing again but only in this one single drawing. I have never encountered this before in 12 years. I have done it over and over hoping it would not repeat but it happened again and now I have to redo all of my layouts...again. This is costing me a great deal of time. I am running Civil 3d 2013 and am going to move this drawing back to 2012 in the hopes of stopping this bug.
I have audited repeatedly and I purge all of my drawings often.
I am running 64bit ACAD on a 3.4ghz Xeon with 8gb ram.
I can't find the viewport panel that was in 2010 in 2013. I have a panel for model space viewports but not paperspace.
