AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Filter For Different View Port Colors

Mar 1, 2013

In my template, is there a way to setup a layer filter or layer state to automatically plot a different viewport color when a new drawing is created and viewports are made?  Note, my template does not have viewports premade. 

I've set all my Existing and Proposed Utilities to use the WV Miss Utility colors, but I designated either pale (odd color#) for existing and bold (even color#) for proposed so that in model space there's a visual difference.  See a few examples below:

V-SSWR-PIPE (color 91)
V-WATR-PIPE (color 151)
C-SSWR-PIPE (color 92)
C-WATR-PIPE (color 152)

Our Civil dept doesn't use colors, but our Utility dept does occasionally especially when Aerials are used.

When we create layouts/viewports in a drawing, it would be nice to have viewport layer colors automatically be set to plot black or gray or be on/off depending on existing conditions sheet or proposed site plan sheet.  The only way I know of is if I would set up viewports inside my template with VP Color Overrides preset and/or VP freezes for certain layers, which I'm hesitant in doing.

AutoCad :: Open Layer Manager To Turn On Layer In View Port?

Oct 6, 2011

I have a drawing where I need to open the layer manager to turn on a layer in a view port but cannot get to that particular column. As you look across the top of the layer manager I can see all the headings of each column beginning with "Name", "Status", "On" and so forth. The last column heading I see is "Description" but I need to go even further to the right to get to the column I need to be at but can't get there. There is no scroll button on the bottom of the layer manager which would allow me to do that.

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 LT :: Layers In View Port Will Not Freeze

Aug 25, 2013

I'm on my paper space layout tab,  I double click inside the viewport so I'm in model space,  I open the layer properties with the full drop down menu and click on the far right column with the snowflake icon which is suppose to freeze the layer for that particular view port.  It does not freeze the layer.  I'm starting to wonder if it is something with the program.

AutoCAD 2010 :: View Port Setting For 3D

Aug 3, 2012

I have a 3d object located in model space and have opened up a view port in paper space to view the object. Now I have set up everything as I want this includes several other view ports not showing the 3d object. my problem is that I can use the hide command in the view port containing the 3d object and get the image I want. However switching tabs or doing just about anything causes the 3d object in the view port to revert back to wire frame. Is there a way to lock just the one view port with hide mode on without effecting the rest of the view ports?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Stuck In A View Port?

Apr 24, 2012

When I am in paper space I sometimes double click in my viewport. Then the viewport becomes my whole window. How do I get out of the viewport without doing an undo until I reach where I first began?

Also sometimes when I double click in the viewport, but the viewport is the only thing visible in the screen, (vs having the whole sheet and being able to click out) I don't know how to get out without Undo.

AutoCad :: View Port Scale Control?

Aug 4, 2011

I have been using AutoCad for 2009 and had it all set perfect. Just had a computer melt down and trying to establish everything back how I had it all before.

One little tool that was very useful was a drop down box called, VIEWPORT SCALE CONTROL. I had all my scales in there and used to just click the border in paperspace, click the scale from the drop down box and set your scale. How to get this back.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Filter Commands?

Feb 8, 2013

I have been working on an extensive template and wanted to add some layer filters too it. I was wondering if there was a list anywhere that outlines what different characters mean to the fillter? What I mean is... I know that ~*|* excludes xfref layers because ~ means 'not' and * means "anything" and | is the character we are looking for. But what are all the other things that filters understand?

AutoCAD LT :: Paper Space View Port Scale

Mar 2, 2012

I have a drawing in model space the i drew to scale of 1'=1' and I went to paper scape to put the drawing in my title block using Viewports. highlighted the viewport and went to properties to give the drawing a scale so it would maximize the Viewport area, on my 22"x34" paper.  but under the standard scale 1/64"=1' is too big and 1/128"=1' is too small.  the simple solution is zoom extents but then in my title block i have to put NTS.  I would like to add to the standard scale or be able to set the customer scale to a whole number. EX. 1:1000 or 1:150, etc. etc.

AutoCAD 2013 :: View Port Menu Not Available On Navigation Bar

Nov 14, 2012

I'm new to AutoCAD 2013 and I am unable to create new viewports from the "layout" or "paperspace" tabs. The "Model Viewports" are on the navigation bar (the one at the top) but are grayed out and thus unusable and the typical "Viewports" menu from my AutoCAD 2011 (last version I had/used) is not there. I can open the viewports menu from toolbars but am unable to dock it into the navigation bar.

AutoCAD 2013 :: View Port Frame Won't Hide

May 15, 2012

I have a drawing with multiple view ports and multiple raster images

I can shut the image frames off with "Imageframe" )(tframes) this works fine But it does not turn off the viewport frames.

I've tried putting the viewport on it's own layer and freezing the layer. This looks OK on the screen, the frames are gone. But the plot preview shows there are no images showing in any viewport.

How can I just turn off the viewport frames so when plotting I can see what's in the viewport.

AutoCad :: View Port Freeze In Paper Space?

Sep 29, 2011

We have a problem with the view port freeze. When we feeze a layer in the modelspace of a viewport and save the drawing, on re-opening the drawing we find that the layer that was switched off has been switched back on i.e. the saved mechanism does not work.

We have tried copying a view port that works from another drawing into this drawing by that did not work. We have also compared setttings with the drawing that works and the drawing that does not work. But there was no joy.

We think the problem is with the drawing and need a solution preferably with the settings of the drawing. having to redrawing the whole drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adjusting View Port Margin?

Mar 14, 2012

I know I can adjust the view port margin to increase the view clip to show more reference geometry.

But from what I see, if the drawing is a projected view and I set the margin, it changes the margin for ALL the associated views.

This is not a base view or a view that has other views projected off of it, it is a view projected from a base view.

Changing the margin for this view, changes the margin for the base view as well.

Is there a way to change the margin on just the view you want without having to re-create it as a stand alone view?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Filter Function Lost

Jul 24, 2013

On one of the machines here we seem to have lost the functionality of the layer filters. When a group filter is created, it shows in the list, you can add layers to the filter, but when you view the filtered layers, its all the layers. Also, when there are unreconciled layers and you navigate to this filter, it shows the entire layer list. Is there some setting that may have been changed?
