I have set up a view with a stair that goes from the first floor to the second floor. The stair has been asigned to the first floor level only. It appears as I want it in the view. However, when I drag the view into my sheet file, the stair disappears and only the path shows, without the individual nosings.
View 1 RepliesHow can I get dimensions and stair well in view to show in sheet view? Basement & 1st fl are ok but 2nd floor is not.
See attached screen shot.
I am using ACA 2012 and when I insert a view into a sheet, the text and dimensions in the view do not display. I have checked the view and the text and dimensions are on layers that should display in the sheet. The layers are on and thawed in the viewport on the sheet, but do not show up. I have turned on all layers and only the model (building information) shows, no text or dimensions.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a building with 2 levels & I have one stairwell. My 2 levels are in a shell.dwg - (first floor level & second floor level). I have a simple stair & landing, which is an element. I insert that element into the first floor level. Everything is fine there, but when I set up a view drawing with the shell (construct) & stair (element in construct) for the second level the stair is diplayed as if it is going up from the first floor level - I need it to show going down from the second floor level. Is there way to show that with one stair?
What we have done in the past is to not have levels, 1 construct for first floor & another for second floor - creating a stair styles for each floor. But when you do a model you have stairs on top of each other (not really using the software like we should). So my question is how do I have 1 stair for 2 different levels & show it correctly for each level. When I set my cut-plane height for first floor level - looks great, but when I set it second floor level - either it remains the same obviously or when I uncheck the override display config. in other on the display tab in the style the stair disappears. I'm trying a new way of creating models/plans & I can't think on how to create the stairs correctly. What am I missing in order to look correctly in plan view without making 2 stairs.
I'm just trying to put a wall under a stair and it seems like I can not succeed. Already tried with interference, body modifiers and trimming.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow I keep the three risers shown in the image below, but extend the landings on the first and third run to avoid creating the angled corners. The angled corners show up when I manually edit the edges to bring the second run width down to match the first and third run width.
If I extend the landings, it tends to push one of the second run risers around the corner to the third run, and that screws up my design.
It seems to be set at 17 but I can't find a way to change it.
Autocad help is not useful at all as it says change the field to a user defined one, whilst not actually telling you how to do that.
how do i use the stair tower generator, when i click i just get a message that says "no current project selected"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI changed my Publish options on the Project Navigator for publishing to PDF as a single sheet per sheet layout. Now I want to put it back so that when I publish it does ALL sheet into one PDF file and I can not figure out how to put it back. Now ever time I publish it does each sheet as a separate pdf.

Is there a way to display and control the visibility of property set data next to a tag or object in model space?
For example, imagine a floor plan such as a large hotel with a lot of doors. It would be nice to be able to look at the plan and see which doors have had their property sets filled out and which ones have not; and, it would be great if the visibility of the property set data could be toggled on and off so as not to clutter up the drawing when not needed.
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).
I am experiencing problems with AutoCAD Architecture when drawing a standard wall. When I change the display to read High Detail nothing seems to change - I cant see the hatch patterns for brick/block.
I have ensured that I am on the correct template
Aec Model (Metric Ctb).dwt
But i cant seem to get it working.
I am using 2012 Architecture and when plotting layouts it is converting curved surfaces into liniar hatched messes, my office just converted to 2012 from 2006.
i am using legacy hidden with monochrome.
We've just started using ACA 2012 and have noticed when importing files created in ACA 2009 that structural members do not display properly. We use the structural column or beam to represent a rainwater or soil pipe and are expecting to see a cut through at the cut plane and nothing else however we are getting a couple of lines that represent the crank in the pipe and I cannot turn them off. I'm sure that a setting has been introduced somewhere however after two weeks of looking I am still in the dark.
I've attached a file created in ACA 2009 that displays the problem in ACA 2012
I am running ACA 2011 X64.I have some leaders that I copied from one drawing into another drawing.
When copied the leaders do not display their attributes. I cannot seem to figure out how to do it. I have made sure they are both in the same annotative scale and that both have the current scales loaded.
Can a sheet set itself contain AEC data, where a reference via a field to any element within the sheet set would cause AEC modules to load upon opening a drawing?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I do a drawing I have about 20 different paper space tabs. I then use these tabs for floor plans, sections, details, elevations, etc.
I've tried to set up some sheet sets to use A1, A2, A3, and A10, these 4 pages go into one drawing set.
I setup a new sheet set to use A4, A5, A6, and A10, but the sheet set manager won't allow me to use A10 again because it was used already in a previous sheet set.
The sheet set manager works great for for printing all sheets into one set. But this shortcoming has forced me to use the publish command and save my sheets to .dsd files.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAny way to print sheets from AutoCAD onto one sheet of paper, side-by-side?
The reason this came up is because yesterday I printed a half size set on our new plotter using twice the paper I needed. Each sheet printed on half of a 36”x12” sheet of paper (print is 18”x12”). I was throwing away 18” per print. What would be awesome is to be able to get another print onto that wasted 18”.
how to get two (or more) prints on one sheet of paper?

How do I create a sheet index on my Title Sheet? Do I create a Table? If so, how? I've never created one before. I kept seeing references to the Sheet Set Manager...I don't know what that is or where to find it...
I'm pretty adept at scheduling, etc. and feel confident that I can do this, but I just need the initial steps.... I thought that I could just grab a piece of text on the title sheet and insert a field that references the Sheet Set...clearly that ain't the way!!!
We have recently had some network issues (complete system crash, network rebuilt from backup), which have been resolved over the last couple days. Now, when we access our existing projects through Project Navigator we get an alert message 'Sheet set is being edited by another user' when we try to add sheets or rename/renumber views on the sheets. It does work occasionally if you try repeatedly, but doesn't seem follow any pattern.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a model space view; then drag it on the sheet; shouldn't they be linked? I mean if I go into the View drawing, move the drawing in question, then update the model space view, shouldn't that update the sheet view automatically? Theoretically speaking of course; we are talking AutoCad.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI cannot seem to make the clng-grid appear on the "sheet." It is visible in the construct, and the view, but nothing I do makes it appear in the sheet once the view is placed.
I did modify Display Manager to show the grid on "medium detail" along with the other floor plan items in all 3 DWG's. Works fine in construct and view, no joy in sheet.
It won't even appear when I flip the vport to "reflected" or "reflected screened."
In ACA 2012 there was a nice feature that did the following:
When you finished creating a new Sheet Set in the SSM, it would then immediately open the new Sheet Set in the SSM. (a few seats of ACA 2012 were in use in the office) In ACA2011, it didn't do this. You had to browse for the newly created .dst file to open it. (I was using ACA 2011 at the same time as those others were using ACA 2012).
Now we've all upgraded to ACA 2013 in the office. However, that nice little feature appears to be gone again. Any way to turn that back on in ACA 2013?
