AutoCAD Architecture :: Content In Layout Shows Beneath Model Space Content
Nov 25, 2013
I'm doing an evacuation plan of an office building. The drawing itself is in the model space, obviously. The fire extinguishers and escape routes are added in layout.
The problem is that everything that I add in the layout ends up beneath the drawing in model space. I.e. the walls of the building are shown in front of the fire extinguishers which makes my evac.plan look like poop.AutoCad Architecture 2013.

Somehow the Content Center Filter clears all content while in ISO or DIN. Both libraries are turned on in project.
I can see only one custom library when either filter engaged. I also see both ISO and DIN parts when filter is off.

The content browser in AutoCAD Architecture 2013 does not seem to be working on a standard users computer. The profile has been rebuilt alongside a repair/reinstall through the control panel.
Ctrl+4
Tools > Content Browser
and typing content browser in the command do not result in anything.

I'm trying to import a drawing from a dwt file into a drawing as a new layout. This would be perfect if the model space objects associated with this dwt file would import as well.

I've tried doing a block that automatically updates the X and Y coordinates from its moveable leader. I can get it to work in model space or paper space. But my problem is I want it to work in PS, but update with the MS coordinates through the viewport.
I can get it to update, by LISP, by picking a point and passing the points to the blocks attributes. At the moment I have a LISP when actioned it locks the viewports, activates the viewport, and asks you to select a point. Once selected it de-activates the viewport (going back into layout tab) then asks which block you want to update. Where you now select the block and it updates the coordinates. I.e. manually pick the point in MS, switch to PS and then manually pick the block. Then I have to manually modify the leader to the correct location.
I'm hoping that I can (In PS) move the end of the leader to snap to a position in MS and the coord updates to reflect the correct MS coordinates. I'm thinking that maybe this can't be done automatically and that I maybe can move the leader but I'm not sure how I can do it without running a LISP to update the block?
I'd be happy moving the leader then just running a single command and the leader coordinates updating without having to select the points and the block again.
I've attached the block showing the auto update of the attributes (fields).

I have 2 files, A100 and C100, with C100 being xrefed into A100. Both have a few other xrefs in them, being used for whatever reasons, and must stay.If you open either file without the other being present, they open fine, but if they can find each other there's a 20-40 minute lockup.
C100 being a civil drawing, I thought the problem was one of the missing .shx files. So after spending countless hours trying to track it down, I finally noticed a warning when trying to open the files together that C100 had 2200+ scale lists. Using 2008 in the office, scalelistedit gives a runtime error, as well as the 2008 install at home. Using 2010, scalelistedit is successful in solving my 20-40 minute problem. (I did save back down to 2007..)
Now, back in 2008, the Style Manager won't open, as it says there is content from a newer version in the file. Also, any xrefs with AEC content, walls etc, come in without displaying said content.

I just installed Autocad Architecture 2009 on a new computer. Content Browser will not open from the drop down menu or from the Start menu. I have now uninstalled Autocad Architecture 2009 and all Autodesk applications, deleting all folders and autocad registry folders then re-installed with no sucess. Everything else seems to be working fine.

is there a way to COPY objects from model space to paper space? CHSPACE only "cuts" geometry. I need the same geometry stacked in both model space and paper space.

How do you copy content center referanced parts to the model? I would like to render my model in Showcase but the nuts and bolts are missing because they are referenced parts.

Somehow the two tabs which were located at the bottom of the screen in my version of Autocad 2008 have dissapeared. I used them extensively and would like to get them back. I've tried the solutions provided in previous answers without success. The menus which are supposed to appear don't.

I am using the 'Room tag with Dimensions' from the Content Browser. When it comes into the drawing, the room name is not centered above the rest of the tag text. So, I opened the block and moved the text and then saved the block. When I go to use the tag again - it tags everything - walls, doors, windows, etc...
Also, the drag and drop function does not work well - I have to drag a tool several times into the drawing from the content browser in order for it to work..

My content browser doesn't have the original options it used to have, instead it has a customized version. But the customized version does not have anything in it. How do I get it back? No matter where I search in CAD or in my files I can't find the original. Do I have to uninstall and install the program again?

I have used the Content Browser sparsely in the past to drag and drop items to a tool palette....but I was thinking it may be a go location to manage our detail library....
As a test i had tried to drag or copy past autocad details into the content browser with no success. I suppose there is a process to make linework usable for the content browser.
Do i need to convert the linework into a multi-view object and then drag it from the style manager into the content browser?

I'm trying to create a content center part with a decal attached to the model. The problem I am facing it that the decal is not adjusting in size when the ipt is placed from the content center. The decal does adjust in the original ipt.

From time to time the layer properties manger Blanks out. See the attached image. The data is there, under the "fog" - I can view one item at a time by clicking on it.
CLASSICLAYER works in most situations, but it isn't a real fix. If I play with the layer manager long enough I get some degree of rehabilitation - as if it is really trying hard to open, but just can't manage it. The fields sometimes are blocked black, or certain areas of the fields become visible momentarily. If I scroll to the far right I can pick up some information.
I'd just like it to work properly.
I am running AutoCad Architecture 2012 on Windows 7 professional with NVIDIAGeForce GT 440 and dual screens, (however I keep all the autocad work on the same screen).

We use AA in the office but we have one version of autocad straight on a laptop. How can I get a tool palette we created in AA into autocad? I understand in AA that you use the content browser in AA to export a palette group but then how do you actually get that into Autocad for use? I think autocad uses an atc file or something like that.
Also, when trying to export the tool palette in AA using the content browser, the help file said I should be able to grab the tool palette and slide/ copy it into the new cataloque I created in the content browser. However, eveytime I grab onto the tool palette, the content browser woudl disappear. I finally just selected all of the items in my tool palatte and copied/ pasted them into the category folder I created within the new catalogue.

Completed a project. Wanted to show the customer the end result and go over changes on my laptop. Copied the directory to my laptop. None of the Nuts & bolts will show up on the laptop version. Got a new desktop computer. Same problem. My completed version doesn't show the content center items, Hence drawings & assemblies are always un-resolved. How can I get the Content center files to show up without deleting and reinserting the items.
Also how can I make the content center parts I place into the model reside in the local path.

I just migrated from 2006 to 2012... I was able to get my old custom tool palettes into 2012 by opening the Content Browser and idropping them. However I noticed that these palettes are not 'refreshable' like they used to be. In the Palette Properties it says *This palette is not shared from a catalog*... after doing a search of that message in these forums I found this thread: [URL]....
I followed David's instructions:
1. Created a new Palette Group
2. Created a new palette in that Group
3. i-dropped tools from my custom catalog in the Content Browser onto that new palette.
Still there is no 'refresh' option...???

I have received a drawing that is only showing in the first layout tab on a contractor's template. The drawing is in a viewport of course. The drawing does not show in the model space.
1. Is it possible to send a drawing only in the Layout tab?
2. Is it possible for me to do something to view the drawing in model space and how is it done?
3. Could it simply be a compatibility issue between the contractor's.

VB code to do the EXPORTLAYOUT command? I need to create a batch program to do a large number of files from the layout to the model space. The program can either copy the layout to the modelspace and save or copy the layout to a new file. Either way is fine. These are old MDT files that we are moving into the Vault, but Vault doesn't like them and the drafters are using AutoCAD in modelspace to revise them.
