AutoCAD Civil 3D :: LSP To Save Each Layouts Viewport And Layerstate

May 13, 2013

I have for a while been wanting some code that would run through all the layouts in a drawing and place a box in model space of where the viewports are looking and save a view and layerstate at the same time. I looked into doing it with .net and posted a query here but it all started to get a bit hard in .net.

So I did a bit more googling and found a lsp solution that get most of the way over on the swap here

It cycles thru the viewports and placed the box in model space to save the view and layer state I have to inject some more code into the rountine along the lines of 

;; While we are here lets save a view with a layersnapshot
;;(command "_.View" "Save" "Nameoflayout" "_.View" "E" "l" "Nameoflayout" "s" "" "")

;; and as we can not access a view layersnapshot from layerstate manager lets save just a plain layerstate
;;(command " Layerstate" "????"  "Nameoflayout" ?????)

to save the views and layerstates.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Hide Xref In One Specific Viewport In All Layouts

Jul 4, 2013

We have some heavy drawings with many layouts. Each layout contains multiple viewports. It takes up to 10-15 minutes to switch layout. When we insert a new xref we would like it to appear in all viewports except one. This applies to all layouts.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing In Viewport That Is Over A Viewport?

Jul 12, 2012

I have a drawing with a viewport that fits to the page. And I created another smaller viewport over top that just shows the legend. Now when I try to double click inside the smaller viewport it always goes into the larger one. I have tried bringing the smaller one to the front but that didn't work. I know that I can clip the larger viewport around the smaller one or bring the legend right into paperspace or slid the smaller one off to the side work in it and slide it back. This is more out of curiosity of how to get into the smaller viewport.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Use Layouts

Aug 13, 2012

I'm about ready to put together a large job that is going to have a lot of sheets.  Since most of my jobs are one sheet plans, this is out of my comfort zone.  I usually just have a scaled cover sheet/border that I drop into model space and put whatever I need into it there and then print it.  This job has several mini jobs in one huge model space.  I think It's going to be better for me to actually use paper space as its intended this time.  I'm using 2010. Just a skeleton of an order of operations, so at least I have something to search for detailed instructions.

GIMP :: Save Dock Positions As Layouts?

Jul 2, 2013

I'm new here but an occasional Gimp user since v2.6. I have recently installed the latest version on my new tablet and I was configuring the layout of the docks and realised that there's no way to save different layouts so I could try alternative dock positions to find what suits best to my workflow, or maybe have different ones for depending on what I'm working on.

The only way I could think to achieve this could be to exchange Gimps preferences file, but where is that stored? BTW it would be a nice feature to add in future releases.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting All Layouts To PDF?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Labels In Layouts

Apr 4, 2013

On a road project I have an acquisition parcel that is matched across 2 viewports on one layout. I would usually slide the parcel label so it's only visible on one layout. Then I'd add a second label that would be visible on the second layout.

This line happens to cross the viewport near the end. If I add a label in the lower viewport that looks reasonable. It will overlap in to the upper viewport. I can drag the label to very near the end of the line but it doesn't look right there. I don't think it's good procedure to try and force one parcel label on to it's own layer so it can be frozen in that one viewport.

Any technique for handling this situation?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Update Layouts To New Plotter?

Nov 9, 2012

We replaced a plotter that is used as the default plotter by 90% of our CAD files. When we go to plot it obviously can't find the plotter anymore and defaults to no printer. We then need to select the new plotter and reselect the paper size.

Not a huge issue by itself, but when you have a drawing with say 25 layout tabs it gets cumbersome.

assign this new plotter and correct page size to all layout tabs in a drawing? If not is there a way to at least have it maintain the paper size when selecting the new plotter and not have it auto select a different page size?

AutoCad :: Layer States In Paperspace Viewport Don't Save

Dec 12, 2011

issue I'm having in my plot files. The way our office sets up our drawings is that we have a set of base files (which is where we do all our plans and details, etc), and then those drawings get xrefed into a different files located in a "plot" folder that that has our titleblock and viewports of the xrefed base files.

The problem is that the plot files have started to NOT save any of my layer states that are associated with the base files. For example, I have a base floor plan that has demolition, construction, RCP layer states that are toggled with LMAN. But if I open the plot file for the RCP and set up the viewports so only the RCP layers are visible...the next time I open the drawing the RCP layer state is abandoned...now ALL the layers are on and I need to redo the viewport layer states...

AutoCAD 2010 :: Frozen Layer In Viewport Becoming Visible After Save

Mar 8, 2012

I have a viewport in paper space with most layers set to "VP Freeze".   When I save the drawing or when a auotsave occurs,  the frozen layers become visible again in the viewport even though they are still marked as frozen. The only way I can get the viewport to display correctly again is to close the drawing and re-open it. How I can stop this from happening?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't See Viewport

Aug 18, 2009

I am sure this is a widely know thing but I personally have never run into this before. - And don't know how to change it. In paper space I can not see the viewport outline box. When I double click inside the vp the outline box shows up and I can move or rescale. What I want to do is move the vp - and I obviously can't do that unless I can grab the outline box. What is the setting that makes the vp boxes visible or invisable?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Table To Table Link On Different Layouts

Can I link cells from each separate layout sheet to the main table sheet, so that I can add them all for project totals?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Delete Viewport

Aug 9, 2009

On the layout page I have several viewports. 2 of my viewport borders are not visible. I can not pick them, property them, delete them, or manipulate them in any way. When I activate them as "model space" view, I can work in the model space but the border still does not become visible. I only know where the border is by the truncated drawing. Is there any way to correct this problem?

Before I get the usual "turn on your layer" responses: ALL of my layers are thawed, ALL of my layers are on. I am running Civil 3D LDD Companion but have had this "glitch" on previous versions. I seem to remember the only answer is delete layout and start a new layout from scratch. Tell me this is not so!!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Viewport Scale Changes

Apr 26, 2013

In c3d 2013 in the layout tabs when I hover over the annotation scale for the viewport it automatically changes the viewport like a "preview" of that scale.  Is there a way to shut that off? 

I ask because I believe it is altering my annotative point descriptions so I have to regen everytime my scale changes to see if the scale will work or not.  A co-workers computer doesn't seem to preview and it works fine on their computer my preview appears to mess the annotation up on mine.
