AutoCAD Civil 3D :: North Arrow For View-port Too Small?

Aug 2, 2013

Every time I insert a north arrow it needs to be scaled up afterwards. Normally, scaling up by the same factor as the viewport that I select is about right.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: View Frame North Arrow Alignment?

Dec 20, 2013

I'm using C3D 2014.

When I create layouts using the "All layouts in the current drawing" option, the north arrow does not align to the viewport rotation.  

But when I use "Number of layouts..." and "All layouts in one..." options, the north arrow block aligns correctly.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 Dynamic North Arrow Rotation

Dec 20, 2012

I am using the Dynamic North arrow that is linked to the viewport. It doesn't matter if I use an OOTB block or a custom one they all have a rotation of 355.4016. 

The viewport is type "Plan", Dview twist is set to "0", USC is World. If I change the rotation on the block it rotates the viewport (as expected). The default block is not rotated.

BTW, It works fin in the default NCS, so it's something in my template.

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 :: North Arrow Rotation In Title Block With Rotation Property Editable In SSM

Jul 27, 2012

I am making a template file having title block with fields. I use this template for creating layouts and sheets using Sheet Set Manager and the fields will be updated from the data of SSM. Now i would like to add a dynamic north block to my template. The block could be rotated (i have this block in file itself) and rotation angle could be inserted. Now how can i add a custom field to SSM so that i could set a rotation angle for the project and thus every new layout or sheet created using the template has the north block rotated with the angle mentioned in SSM.

Here is the file...........

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.

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 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.
