AutoCAD Architecture :: Create Layer That Is Turned Off In All Drawing View Ports And Tabs

Jun 28, 2011

I have several paperspace tabs on my drawing. When I create a new layer on the drawing, I have to go to every tab and viewport to turn on or off the new layer. Is there a way to create a layer that is turned off in all the drawing viewports and tabs. Then, I only have to go to the paperspace tab and viewport I want the layer to be seen and turn it on.

AutoCAD Architecture :: View Ports On Def Points

Apr 20, 2011

For over ten years I have been placing view ports on the defpoints layer and have never had a problem.

Apparently one of my co-workers say that the drawing crashes when this is done. When I ask the reason, they could not explain it.

The only thing I can think of is what happened to me once and that is I had a corrupted block and some of the objects were on the def points layer. If the drawing crashes because the view port is on the def points layer.

AutoCad :: Layer State Overrides To View Ports Using Filter

Jan 18, 2013

When I save layer states overrides for a certain view port and mane it e.g. "K", in layer state manager current layer state is shown as "K", but when I change layout and come back to this one, in layer state manager current layer state is shown as *UNSAVED* again!!!

This results in a great problem. If I update layer state "K" it does not update all view ports that should have layer state "K" automatically so I have to go trough all of them again and apply "K" again and again after any change to "K" is made.

Link to other thread: Apply Layer State Overrides to view ports using filter which, if answered could bypass the problem.

AutoCad :: Layer States And Model Space View Ports?

Mar 13, 2013

First off, here is what i want to do:

- in model space

- 3 model space view ports (ai_tiledvp 3 "_V")

- different layer state visible in each view port OR different saved view visible in each view port.

I cannot for the life of me figure it out. At the moment, every time i change the layer state (or saved view) in one view port, it changes in all 3 view ports so that they all show the exact same thing.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Every Layer Has Turned To White

Jan 26, 2012

Every layer has turned to white.  The layers have colors set to them and everything is set to color by layer, but everything turned to white.  It happened either after I printed or exerted the layer dialogue box, I can't recall.  How can I get things to go back to show the colors they are.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing View Of Representation Still Shows Assembly That Is Turned Off

Nov 29, 2011

Trying to do two variations of an assembly using representations.  I turned sub-assemblies off in different representations by unchecking "visibility."  I can switch back and forth between representations in the assemby and the sub-assemblies go on and off, but drawing views where I've selected a given representation still show the "invisible" assemblies.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Choose Right Templates / View Ports / View Frames

Aug 26, 2013

I have been creating directly the DWG of AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 for a couple of months.I created a project for the 8 points (4 locations with 2 depths in each location - i. e. same XY-coordinates, but different Z) And I just cannot separate the  2 "depth" points of the "same XY-coordinates" location in the 3D Wireframe by using the 3D Rotation Cube. I wonder I should start the C3D 2013 with choosing the right Template, configuring proper Viewports and creating suitable View Frames. I don't know what Template is right for my project of the 2 "depth" points of the same location in the 3D Wireframe of C3D 2013 - see the attached file.  what Template (.dwt) is right for my project, how to cofigure 2 or 3 Viewports, and create the View Frames.

AutoCad 2D :: Layout Tabs Gone Yet They Are Turned On In Options?

Nov 8, 2011

My husband is having an issue where his layout tabs have disappeared yet he has them turned on in the Options menu. He has closed and opened his drawing, restarted his PC and still no tabs. They should be there yet they are not there. All of my searches have returned the standard answer of turning them on through the options menu but this is not fixing it. Only thing I can think of is to roll his PC back through a restore...

I have AutoCAD map 3D 2011.My layout background is white, and sometimes the viewport(s) appear blacked out. I can plot fine, no problems there. It makes it hard to see what I have in my view port. I have removed the viewport and created a new one that will fix the problem approx. 50% of the time.What causes this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Label Scaling In View Ports

Apr 3, 2012

I have two files...

File 1: with a Profile View => Units set to Meters and Scale set to 1:100
File 2: Units set to Milimeters, Model Space Scale set to 1:100 (same as File 1), Viewport Scale set to 1:100 , Plot style scale set to 1:1 

Now I want to X-Ref the "File 1" into "File 2" but when I do that, Civ3D scales all the Profile Labels to huge size. I understand, it has to do with different units (meters and millimeters) set in both file... but thats the way I want this to be...

Please note, in File 2: Model Space scale 1:100 is different than Viewport Scale 1:100, because Model Space scale 1:100 is coming from "File 1" which is set to Meters.

I even tried to keep both Model Space Scale and Viewport Scale same in "File 2" but that didn' work either.

AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Turn Off Contextual Ribbon Tabs

Nov 22, 2013

I'm a right clicker.  Contextual ribbon tabs pop up every time I touch an object. They require additional clicks and mouse movements. I don't want them. How can I stop them? I just want the default ribbon.  I was able to do this on a previous version but now I forget how. Version upgrades do not bode well for old people.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Ribbon Does Not Have Any Tabs Or Panels Currently Loaded

Mar 3, 2009

This morning after no problems yesterday.

"This Ribbon does not have any tabs or panels currently loaded."

It was there yesterday until I quit ACA, where did it go?

Did Autodesk install a virus that deletes the Ribbon after a predefined number of uses? It doesn't make any difference which workspace is invoked it is not there. In Document it is just completely gone and typing ribbon at the command line brings up the "This Ribbon..." as is the case in all the other workspaces. How does this happen?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Unlock Master View To Be Able To Save It With Planes Turned Off

Mar 30, 2012

Ok I am struggling with this again. Some how when my assembly was made I had several work planes visable on several subassemblies. No big deal, I will just go to the subassemblies, turn them off and save them and all will be fixed right? Wrong, the assembly still opens with the work planes showing. So I expand the subassemblies and turn the visability off in the top level assembly. Now when I attempt to save the assembly I am told that the master view is locked and I need to create a new view. But I don't ever want all the work planes on and I don't want to create a new view because that leads to not being able to save a linked assembly or drawing if the wrong thing is open somewhere.

How do I unlock the master view to be able to save it with the planes turned off?

AutoCad :: Objects In Turned Off Layer Still Visible

Feb 8, 2011

I have a plan view of a residential building. I want to remove some columns. I may need them later so I don't want to delete them.

I want to move them to a new layer (layer name: hiddenObject) and turn this layer off to unshow them.

When I move them and turn that layer off, first, the color of those objects didn't turn to layer's color and second they don't disappear.

What is wrong with my procedure?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Every Layer Has To Be Turned On And Thawed?

Feb 26, 2012

So... every layer has to be turned on and thawed? But that's the direction things seem to be going.  If I want to see my contours, for example, all layers associated with them must be on and thawed.  Yes?  No?

This makes drafting and designing more difficult and it unnecessarily clutters the screen.  Once I'm done creating a surface, for example, I don;t want to see the intermediate entities again (unless I need to make changes).  All I want to see is the finished product that will appear on the plans, i.e. contours, etc.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Unable To Edit In Viewport (layout Tabs)

Oct 2, 2012

We have an intern that has somehow made it impossible for her to edit inside viewports(switching to model space) on her layouts. None of us has seen this before and do not know how to reverse what she has done.  This happens with any drawing she opens.  She can edit when in the model space tab, but when she goes to one of the layout tabs and double clicks on the viewport she cannot edit.  The viewports are not locked. 

We have had several people look at it and cannot find what command or setting she changed.  She does not have admin rights so I do not think she could have run a script.  She is not familiar with AutoCAD Architecture, her experience has been limited to Revit.
