AutoCAD LT :: Exporting A Layout
Jan 23, 2013
I like the Export To Model feature except it's useless in its current state. Here's why: it exports the paperspace view of the layout to a new modelspace drawing...but at the wrong scale. It basically just takes a picture of the paperspace view and recreates that in a new modelspace file, ugh. The modelspace scale should be maintained and the paperspace viewport scale(s) maintained.
In other words it should set up a new drawing with the viewport(s), paperspace layout tab and model space drawing(s) intact and recreated in a new file.

I know how to do this, simply to a save as copy dwg. But my question is; If i'm showing 2D sketchs from a part in my layout (Get model sktech), why do they not show in the exported DWG?

I want to export all layouts in a DWG file automatically with this kind of
LayoutManager.Current.CurrentLayout = "Layout1"
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute("EXPORTLAYOUT " & strFilePath, True, False, False)
The layout is exported well, but each time a layout has been exported, a message appears with a question: "The file was successfully created. Do you want to open it now?", and the next layout won't be exported until user click button "Open" or "Don't open". I want export all layouts automatically without user input, so I don't want the message displays after exporting. How can I get rid of the dialog?

I wanted to know if it's possible to export a drawing from Autocad to Excel. The drawing is in both model space and layout and contains polygons and blocks.

I want to export a layout as a dwg file. Why do I want to do this? I got a drawing, and they put some stuff on the layout, so I want to export the layout so I can then work in the new file in the model area? Do you get what I mean?
Also, If I make a layout, I put my Firm Logo and information in the layout. If I send this to another firm, which isnt using Autocad, they than can only see the model area, so If I can export it into 1 file, in the model area, they cann see the whole thing.

I have created a layout in Illustrator (CS6) and seperated the individual images I require into named layers. My intention is to export as a Photoshop file (keeping all the layers), then using 'Script' in Photoshop to 'Export layers to files..', so I can get automatically save all the elements in the layout as individual transparent png.
When I export the files as Photoshop a warning comings up saying that 'some layer have been merged' and then when I open this file in Photoshop, all but a couple of text layers have been merged into 1 layer. I think it's something to do with the transparencies set in Illustrator but don't know how to resove this.
If it can't be resolve in the method I am using at present, my only other option is to switch off all but 1 layer in Illustrator and export this layer as a png, but as I have many elements to the layout (including on and off states) and this is just one layout page of many, this manual way of export the files will take me forever!
I can stop these layers from merger into one layer when exported to Photoshop, then any way I can automatic export the layers I have set up in Illustrator, as transparent pngs in a simular way I can in Photoshop.

I have a bit of a problem with Autocad map 3d 2012. When i try to insert a scale bar or a north arrow or any other carthographic element i simply can't find the layout elements that are supposed to be in layout tools tab. I've done a lot of research online and can't come up with anything.

Understanding the "tabOrder" for layouts. I would like to rename my layouts "P1", "P2", "P3".... based on the taborder.
Also, I would like to copy a layout (the last layout tab) and place it at a given point (like the third tab). Once I can copy it and place it, I'll be able to rename the layout tabs using taborder.

I'm sure this has been talked here before, but i cant find that variable, option or whatever it is that controls if a layout appears according to the ctb selected or with the colors and configuration your using on your drawing.I mean, you have a drawing with many layers of different colors, if your layout is set to use "monochrome", you can only see it with white/black lines.

If i have two viewports in 1 layout: Is it possible to call different models (from different files) in it?
Lets say... ViewportA has model of drawing A. ViewportB has model of drawing B. But Both viewports are in the same layout.
I want to avoid using clipxref when inserting legends.

I have written this code to check the name of the layouts and determine if the are to our company standard or not and if they are close enough to determine what they should be rename them. I create a drawing with severl differant layout names to test the code but I am getting inconsistent results. The drawing I created has 9 layouts named M2_03, M2_04, m3_01, m3_02, tm01_25, tm2.05, tm2.06a, TM2_01, and TM2_02A. It seems to be crashing on the tm2.06a but I can not figure out why.
Public Class StandFix <Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("StandFix")> _ Public Sub StandardFixer() Dim ErrString As String = "" ErrString = ErrString & StandardizeLayoutNames() MsgBox(ErrString, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Non-Standard Entities Found") End Sub
[Code] ....
why sometimes it work and checks all the layouts, but most of the time it only does some of the layouts.

I have a small project that I'm working on that inserts a new layout based on a user selected template size (A, B, C or D sizes). I need the program to insert the layout along with the titleblock geometry from the existing A, B, C, or D dwt files.
I know how to add a new blank layout. However, I'm having some trouble determing how to insert the titleblock geomtry. I've read a number of posts on here related to layouts, and while they were informative, none of them covered exactly what I need to do.

i have been working on a DWG (c3d 2012) most of the day, and sure enough, after my last edit in Model space, c3d crashed.
i can remain in model space, but once I try on open the only layout tab, c3d hangs and crashes. i was able to create a new layout in the command line and rebuild my layout, but i still cannot open the original tab without a crash. i ran AUDIT and found 2 errors, but if i allow c3d to fix or delete them, c3d crashes. also, if i run PURGE, c3d crashes.
how i can determine what is at fault or a method to maybe even isolate the problem? maybe a trick?

I have a program that lets the user create a new page, by cloning a selected page and placing it at the desired layout order (taborder). For example, the user could copy layout 4 as layout 3 and then there are options for changing the layers that are visible.
The problem I'm running into is when a user enters new page = 3, by copying the current layout 3. What I want is to have the new layout placed at taborder 3, and the rest moved to the right.
It gives me an error, though, saying I'm using the same taborder.' This will copy the selected layout and call it the new page.
Public Sub addPage(ByVal pageNumber As Integer, ByVal pageToCopy As Integer) Dim myDWG As ApplicationServices.Document Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database Dim myTransMan As DatabaseServices.TransactionManager Dim myTrans As DatabaseServices.Transaction myDWG = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument myDB = myDWG.Database myTransMan = myDWG.TransactionManager myTrans = myTransMan.StartTransaction Dim myBT As DatabaseServices.BlockTable Dim myBTR As DatabaseServices.BlockTableRecord Dim myBTRE As DatabaseServices.SymbolTableEnumerator Dim myLM As DatabaseServices.LayoutManager Dim myLayout As DatabaseServices.Layout Dim layoutToCopy As String myBT =
[code]....
I thought, maybe I could put the new layout at the end, and then just change its taborder, but all that did was overwrite the current layout 3 with the new layout.

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".

I need to be able to make layouts in external drawings, and therefore cannot use LayoutManager. I've got it working but it seems to me that my solution may not be the best or the "right" way to do it. I found out quickly that each layout needs it's own *Paper_Space# BlockTableRecord and I've resorted to creating one myself. In the code below, you can see that I name my new layout "*Paper_Space". It ends up getting named "*Paper_Space#" in the database, where the # gets incremented automatically. Is this the right way to do it?
