AutoCAD Architecture :: Printing Color In Isometric And Plan View
Oct 31, 2013
From my project manager > views, I select a view, it opens in model. I change to paper space and have my plan and an isometric view (in wire frame). I go to view and select shaded with edges. Perfect, colors on both plan and isometric are where I want them, now I want to print this.
I select my print icon and change my paper size select my printer. I select extents, center the plot and fit to paper. I preview.. And my color disappears. What.. Am I doing wrong. Should I be making my paper representations from a different start?
Yesterday.. I was trying to do the same thing.. But starting with the drawing in constructs. I end up with the same, my isometric drawing looses most of its color, the windows have color as does one layer (a line showing the outline of the floor under). The plan drawing has most of the colors but some of the layers are black where in the model they have color. To further complicate the problem.. The same procedure making a first floor drawing has the plan in complete color.

I have Autocad Architecture 2011 and it was working perfect until Yesterday. I Repair and then Reinstall but still the same problem.
When I have a Parellel (isometric) View and transfer to perspective works well but when I exit from the orbit function everything disappear and the cursor become crazy. I push pan and appears the drawing I release pan and the drawing disappear. The same problem in a viewport. I setup the perspective view on the viewport, lock the v-port, save and close the drawing, then open the same drawing and the perspective view become Isometric.

i draw up all of my walls, i connect them properly, cleanup etc. then i want to trim them with my roof slabs and what i see? i see my walls suddenly dissappear in 3d view but are still correctly shown on plan view? i know it has something to do with roofline because when i tried to project them automatically to ontu my roof slabs the walls dissappeared too!

I placed walls at 12'0" elevation as they wereconflicting with walls below (overlap). I can't see them in plan view - In 3D iso view they are visible.

I'm trying to provide the user with some alternative vies of the drawing from within my application.
I picked up this code from an earlier post and have modified it to what I thought should work, but is has no effect on my screen display even after I exit from the form.
Private Sub ComboBoxView_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBoxView.SelectedIndexChanged Dim myDwg As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database = myDwg.Database Dim myTransMan As DatabaseServices.TransactionManager = myDwg.TransactionManager Try myTransMan.QueueForGraphicsFlush() ' Have tried with and without this line Using myTrans As Transaction = myTransMan.StartTransaction Dim vpr As ViewportTableRecord = DirectCast(myTrans.GetObject(myDB.CurrentViewportTableRecordId, OpenMode.ForWrite), ViewportTableRecord) If vpr IsNot Nothing Then Select Case Me.ComboBoxView.Text Case "Plan" vpr.SetViewDirection(OrthographicView.TopView) Case "Front elevation" vpr.SetViewDirection(OrthographicView.FrontView) Case "Side elevation" vpr.SetViewDirection(OrthographicView.LeftView) Case "SW isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(1, -1, -1) Case "NW isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(-1, 1, 1) Case "SE isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(1, -1, 1) Case "NE isometric" vpr.ViewDirection = New Vector3d(1, 1, -1) End Select End If myDwg.Editor.UpdateScreen() ' Have tried with this line inside and outside the 'Using' section myTransMan.QueueForGraphicsFlush() ' Have tried with and without this line myTrans.Commit() End Using Catch ex As SystemException MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try End Sub
I note that I have probably misguessed the direction vectors, but I can handle that by experiment once I get the screen updating.

I started with a Left side view of a part and created a sectioned view right down the middle so you can see the insides from another view. the part is pretty big so i used a Break to shorten it to fit the page. I also placed a smaller and separate isometric view of the same part and want this view to inherit the same break. How can I do this? If I go into the display options of the iso view, all the cut inheritance options are grayed out and can't be clicked. I've seen this done before, but i'm sure i missed a step somewhere.

Is it possible to add a color region to a family in plan view? I need to add a color region to the plan view of a single flush door family for training purposes (several co-workers see color filled areas better than black and white single lines with the projector we have). I would like to add a color region to the door and frame in plan view of the door family.

Sometimes when I try to create a detail view of an isometric view in my IDW, the "detail full boundary" option is greyed out? Why would this be? If I try an ortho view it works fine.

I have a long shaft with parts mounted on. i want to section it and show the parts. i don't need to show the whole length of the shaft.
I know i can crop the isometric view, but this way i will not see the key hole which is on the other side, it's hidden.
If i make a section it 's in an orthogonal view only.
I want to make the section view, but later to transform the sectioned view to an isometry. is it possible?

I am working in a project where I need to represent the reflecting ceiling edges in the plan view. I put the first floor plan as underlay, and selected the RCP projection but I don't see the dropped ceiling lines to select them with the linework command. I have done every thing possible with the view range but I don't see the lines.

im doing both isometric view and top view of a floor plan in a single paper at the same time.
the problem is ..when i change the view to isometric.. the drawing that is intended for top view changes to isometric view also..
how can i change the view of a single object to isometric isolatedly,, without affecting the other drawings and remain in its current position?
btw im using autocad 2007.

I was given a horizontal centerline of a 5 mile bike path. We have to stake all the even stationing every 50 feet and all the VPC's and VPT's with vertical elevation. I have created the horizontal profile and also the vertical profile including all the vertical curve information. Is there an easy way to incorporate the elevation information back into the plan view so I can create points that carry x,y & z points that I can transfer out of autocad as a .txt file so we can upload it on our gps equipment?

I am trying to insert blocks into my drawings and for the most part I have been successful using Design Center. However, I have difficulties turning some of those blocks from the Plan View into the Elevation View, even when they show as elevation blocks. Even the downloads that show as 3-D end up being inserted as 2-D in plan view. In floor plan mode, I have no problem; so how do I turn them into 2-D in elevation mode?

My boss said i could generate an isometric view of a drawing if i have the plan, elevation, and side views (makes sense enough). how do i go about doing this? is there an existing thread i can be forwarded to? (searching "isometric" didn't seem specifically useful.)

Residential custom home design. I come from the good old fashioned background of pencil and paper drafting. Although with the recent technology advances I have migrated to the AutoCAD side of the fence, and loving every minute of it. Upon purchasing a copy of AutoCAD 2004, I continued drafting the way I knew how, lines on paper. I have recently upgraded to AutoCAD 2007, and with no formal training, I am looking in drafting in 3D.
My main question has multiple parts;
What is the best way to draw walls in 3D?
What is the best way to add windows and doors? and is there a way to have the "plan view" relate with the "elevation view"?
How do you go about adding a roof?
I have played around in the isometric views attempting to solve the previous questions, although I have been doing all of it with line work. I know there has to be an easier and more efficient way of going about this....

When I add dimensions to an 3d object in an isometric (or similar) view, the dimension lines get placed way off screen, and the leader lines are projected onto the x-y plane.
Additionally, when I try to add lines to an object that is far from the x-y plane, the mouse position responds to the line's location as if it were drawing on the x-y plane.
Do I have to continually make custom UCS coordinates just to draw in 3d without hassle? There are other times when this does not happen (perhaps only when my 3d object is very near the x-y plane...

when i started using 2011. I have 2 viewports active; plan and isometric view. But when I try to navigate in the isometric view, the crosshair behaves in a way I don't understand. What happens is that when I zoom in the crosshair disappears over or under what I'm zooming in on.
It's hard to describe, but it seems that it have a different origo then the view represents. When I zoom out so much that the crosshairs are visible and I try to move them upwards, they stop in the middle of the screen and then the marker becomes visible in the ribbon part of the screen.
I have tried detaching all xref's, purged and audit, checked the elevation (0). This only happens in some drawings, not all, and I can't think of a common denominator in the drawings it happens.

I have created an object in 3ds max and exported as dwg. file to open it in autocad. The purpose for importing that shape in autocad was to set an isometric view of that object and use it in my 2D drawings for annotation and explanation purposes.
What I am trying to achieve is to have that isometric view flattened, but in top (drafting) view along my plan section and elevations so that it looks as if it has been drafted in 2D if that makes sense.
So far I have come across two commands - FLATTEN and FLATSHOT. When using FLATTEN command I get the flattened 2d splines from that object as desired, but in that orthographic view. As soon as I start rotating the flat shape gets distorted and I cant get back to it's original flattened state.
FLATSHOT immediately comes with an error saying that it is not a solid so nothing can be projected. Explode the object then use command - converttosurface this works and I can initiate the FLATSHOT command but the shape has all this extra geometry after converting it to surface and it is not what I want.
The closest is the FLATTEN command as it also allows me to hide the back edges so that I only get a clean outline of the object. But how can I rotate it and position it in a top view, flat, along the drafted elevation and plan.

I'm wondering is it possible to orientate the dimension text alligned to paper(2.jpg) but not the UCS of Isometric drawing(1.jpg).
Sometime I need to allocate my drawing with dimensioning in isometric view because its more easy to read.
I'm placing my drawing in *.idw.
