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.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Usually Visual Style Behavior When Switching Between Model And Layout Tabs

Aug 20, 2010

I have just started working with Architecture 2011, so perhaps there is some strange issue at work here, but I haven't come across it previous releases. Whenever I switch from model tab (in 2D wireframe) to a layout tab and then back to model space, the visual style automatically switches itself to "Wireframe" or "3D Parallel Project", instead staying 2D Wireframe. It is highly annoying as I have to hit the 2D Wireframe button on the Visual Style Menu everytime a switch. This also occurs everytime a hit the Save button. It won't stay put in the visual style that it should.

AutoCAD .NET :: Edit Default Viewport In A Layout

Jan 15, 2009

I'm trying to simply edit the default viewport in a layout that I've created. I can't seem to find any threads that were successful or answered about this. I need to set the scale, size and linetype of the viewport. When I've tried, the viewport has simply not changed. I'm afraid im not getting the current viewport. Im using ed.activeviewportid hoping that its associated with the current layout as specified by layoutmanager???

AutoCAD Architecture :: Missing Menu Tabs (File / Edit / Window)

Jun 26, 2010

I recently loaded AutoCAD Architecture 2008 and the menu tabs for File, Edit, Window etc were all missing. They are replaced with a tab that says M-Color 9.5. When i load the program with older files (from this morning) the menu tabs are there but then they disappear. How do i get them back?

Also in addition to that my toolbars are gone, but i can recover those when i have my tool bars.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Switching Layout Tabs By Clicking On The Tabs?

Sep 19, 2013

issues switching layout tabs by clicking on the tabs?

Occasionally, clicking the Model or other layout tab results in no action, as if I'm not clicking on it.

All other controls (within and external to C3D) function normally so it's not a mouse hardware issue.

It will usually correct itself if I "restore down" the main application window, then maximize it again.

The -layout command is a workaround too.

AutoCad :: Unable To Edit Unlocked Layers / How To Change Default Viewport Scale List

Jun 8, 2011

I just started using 2012. Two problems:

1- Somehow, in my current drawing, everything is layer-locked. There are no Xrefs in this very basic drawing. All layers are unlocked. Yet, any attempt to select any entities results in "x objects were on a locked layer". Again, all layers are unlocked. No Xrefs. No blocks. Just simple lines. All entities appear faded. This happened after viewing a layout in both paper and model spaces. Reviewing the text window shows no strange accidental commands.

2- There is a default set of viewport scales in the status bar at the bottom right. Default scales are all metric. I would like both metric and imperial. I see you can edit which exact scales are in a metric list, and which are in an imperial list. But how do you set what is displayed/available in the status bar button?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Unable To Edit Custom Pallets

Mar 15, 2012

I created my own tools of own content on my own pallets and then found . you can drag a whole tab into the browser to quickly archive your tools. Having reinstalled I have 'dropped the collections back to ACA12 and all my tools restored.

However I can no longer edit or add to these tool pallets. I cannot edit any properties within tools either. There is no lock symbol on the pallet that I can see, only a refresh symbol.

The .atc file they reference (found from the Content Browser location they came from) is not set to read only.  Permissions seem to be set to allow read, modify, write etc. I first used the 'My Tool Catalog' provided but also copied it all back to a new catalog but it's still locked.

AutoCAD LT :: Scrolling Through Layout Tabs

Nov 6, 2012

When I'm scrolling through my Layout tabs using the arrows on the bottom left of the screen, if I'm scrolling right I have to click the arrow at a certain speed or it gets hung up on one tab and won't scroll any further. If I'm scrolling left, it only lets me scroll as far as the active tab and then it fades both the "left" and "skip to end left" arrows and won't let me scroll at all. And both directions, unless I'm clicking very slowly on the arrows, instead of scrolling it highlights the name of the tab as though I've clicked "Rename".

AutoCad :: Archive Layout Tabs Within DWG?

I am working with a large file for a construction project and am looking to archive my layout tabs after producing each phase of deliverables (output).

Is there a way to do this? I do not want to have to "screenshot" my .dwg and save it with the layouts and then delete and keep working in my working file. I'd like to keep everything in one file.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cannot Rename Any Layout Tabs

Apr 13, 2012

Right-click on a layout tab, select Rename ... nothing.

It looks like it highlights the tab for a nanosecond then crosshairs appear with an empty command line.

I eventually renamed one tab by selecting rename like fifty-eleven times.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layout Tabs Keep Moving

Feb 28, 2013

For some reason our layout tabs keep re-arranging themselves. All of a sudden our sheet 2 ( or what ever) is between tabs for sheets 35 & 36 (or where ever it wants to be).

we use tabs because 45 sheets of images require never ending scrolling. the current tab is never the image shown....they always start at the 1st tab?

when you are on sheet 40 and want to go to 44.....scroll .

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Rename Multiple Layout Tabs

Nov 30, 2010

I am currently working on a large drawing that has many tabs (145),  I have made a mistake midway and would like to find a way I can rename them quicker than "Right Clicking" on each tab to change it. That will be very time consuming. 

Also, is there a way to print a list of all of the current layouts within a drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Consolidate Layout Tabs

Apr 26, 2012

I would like to be able to consolidate my layout tabs. I have a drawing of a factory that is of some size and the plant is continually growing. I like having all of my information in one place as the drawings (one .dwg file) change. AutoCAD is not capable of doing so? I'm not willing to break up into separate dwg files either.

I'm trying to read objects on a specific layout in an external drawing.

Reading the external drawing is not a problem when the objects are in "*Modelspace".

But finding the specific layout id and throwing that in an Blocktabelrecord is.

Here is the code.

AutoCAD LT :: Quick Way To Rename Layout Tabs?

Oct 18, 2012

I have this drawing with over 200 layout tabs. (I do shop drawings for a cabinet/countertop manufacturer, and we do one drawing per project.) Here's the thing... I need to eliminate pages 1, 6, 14, 20, 24, 30, 40, 44, 47, 56, 61, 64, 73, 78, 81, 90, 95, and 101 because they are now NOT a part of the project.

In my title block, I  have the layout name as a field, so it says "PG [layout tab name]/224" which is needed because there's a table of contents for the pages that are printed.

Is there any easy eay to renumber all the tabs, or am I stuck re-numbering every single one?

AutoCad :: Switching Between Layout Tabs With A Command

Sep 1, 2011

Is it at all possible to switch between layout tabs by a command? I'm messing around with a .bat file that creates a script for printing that only prints layout1.

The CAD file I'm trying to print has multiple tabs and all tabs have a different name, Lot 02, Lot 03, Lot 04 (not the standard layout1, layout2, etc).

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...

AutoCad :: Zoom Extents All Layout Tabs

Jun 21, 2011

Once you have multiple layout tabs its very easy to zoom in on a tab make some changes jump to another tab zoom in make some more changes, then save the dwg.

You then open the drawing to say plot and have to zoom e the layout as a glance to see if its correct, etc.

So I wrote this tiny lisp that will very quickly zoom extents on all layout tabs and then I would normally save.

; goes through all layout tabs and zooms all

(vl-load-com)
(command "_.pspace")
(setq curtab (getvar "Ctab"))
(setq this_dwg (vlax-get-acad-object))
(foreach d (layoutlist)
(setvar "CTAB" d)
(vla-ZoomExtents this_dwg)
)
(setvar "ctab" curtab)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Model And Layout Tabs Are Gone?

Nov 12, 2013

I clicked "Hide Model and Layout Tabs" to see what it would do, and now I can't get them back. Not only did I lose them in that drawing, I lost the tabs in EVERY drawing and EVERY version of C3D. I googled the problem and every forum says the same things, and I've tried them without success:

Options >> Display >> Layout elements >> Display Layout and Model Tabs

CUI >> Workspace Properties >> Model/Layout Tabs >> On

I'm lacking a couple of icons on the lower tray to the right of the Model/Paper button.

The baffling thing is that I've lost the tabs on ALL versions of C3D. Is there a magical command line entry that will bring back my beloved tabs?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Model And Layout Tabs Disappeared?

Restore my Model and Layout Tabs at the bottom of the Drawing area. I went to Options/Display Tab, and under the pannel of "Layouts elements" the box of "Display Layout and Model Tabs" is checked, yet, I can't witness this diplayed. Even if I have to toggle something to make it hidden and displayed, where is the place for that? See the pictures of my settings and the Drawing area.
