I'm using AutoCAD Map 2013 64-bit Windows 7. Every time I open a drawing or I go from Layout to Model tab my model is viewed at some askew 3D view. I have to PLAN and choose world or current ucs to fix it. It's getting annoying because this happens every time.
View 1 RepliesCIvil 3D 2013 / My drawing opens in layout view and all model objects are appropriately coloured by layer. If I hit plot at this point, my colour dependent .ctb file works fine. However, once I swtich to model view, all my linework turns white and if I switch back to Layout view it remains white and plots each line with the weight assigned to the colour white.

Is there a way that you can draw around that viewport and then take that into model space and paste it in the same place so now you have the same area located in both views?
At the moment I need to try and work out where the view is by drawing a rectangle around the correct area of the building and this is time consuming.
I could then trim/delete everything else outside that box.
When I have placed dimensions in model space with a text height of 2.5 now do I get them to a readable size in paper space

View 2 Replies View RelatedSome time ago, I used Adobe Reader (the basic one) to view and rotate a 3D model from Autocad. Yes, I know that I can export a Revit model into a DWFX and view it in Design Review, but that requires a ferr Design Review download. Some clients don't have administrator rights, are too lazy, don't have the computer savy to install, etc..., so a PDF 3D model would be nice.

I have Adobe X Pro where I can enable this if Revit and CAD have the ability to print a 3D PDF.
As the layout tabs I'd like to have a multiple model-views tabs.
I can use layouts tabs, I can change the background color to same as model tab and all its ok.
However I'm unable to set scale to have text and annotation with a "human" size (that is, thinking on my screen and not on the paper).
Maybe this is a newbie question but I'm lost....
What is what I must to set ? I dont want to use layout to print, but to view my drawing with custom layer settings.

IDW views:
Regarding a view created from a part that is not on an orthographic plane in the model:
After placing a standard idw view from a model that's on a weird angle to the construction plane, I have to "rotate" it, and then create another projected view from that view, and then rotate the new view, and create a projected view from that 2nd view, and then rotate that 3rd view, in order to get an orthographic view into the drawing.
BUT, when the model changes, the main view skews, and is therefore not orthographic any longer.
When that happens, the program forces me to start from scratch, and create a new main view, and then basically re-draw the entire idw sheet. This is a total time waster, and costs $$$.
Is there any known way to make the original view return a true orthographic view?
Please note that once the view has dependent views, the 'rotate view' command is disabled.

Is there an easy way to rotate my drawing 90 degrees clockwise in model space, but leave it in it's orginal view in paper space. The reason is for drawing elevations - north, south, east, west from construction lines pulled from a plan. I've tried using UCS and was able to rotate, but it won't let me copy objects after doing

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have made a 3d model of my balcony by simply extruding the steel profiles I used in my sections. I then used the union command to join them all together.
I now think and exploded isometric may be the better way to present the drawing but as I have now made the frame all one element what is the best way to seperate it?
the corners I think will be easy I just create a planar at 45 degrees and use that to split the corners but is there an easy way to seperate the mid PFC and angle?
I have a finished 3D model in AutoCAD (although I did import it from another program), and I want to create the standard orthographic views as easily as possible. This tutorial looked perfect [URL].........
but i ran into some trouble. At step 5, where it says to press Base or use the command VIEWBASE i get a window that will ask me to open up some kind of inventor file. The tutorial does not acknowledge this, but the rest of the instructions and result seem like just what I need!
imagine a model of a room. if i try to look at a parallel projection view, i will see opposite walls one on top of the other. is there an easy way (meaning, in the model tab) to view just one wall?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a number of sketches in a skeleton to control multiple solutions.
I am using case statements that apply values to my variables and create my solutions which is working fine however,
for clarity of what is being used in a given solution I want to turn on/off the sketches in my code. I have created a set of model views that when active properly turn off the visibability of the appropreate sketch.
While model view is among the things that can be selected for use in the code, so far as I can tell, I can not find a function that will allow me to set a view true so that it activates the view and my sketches turn off.
Im currently trying to set up a 2 point perspective view of a model ive recently designed.
I have an image set as the background and i would like to align the model in perspective to the image.
My issue is Dview and free orbit and giving me any kind of reasonable perspective.
Is there any other methods i might be able to try to improve the results ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create something great VLISP app that extracts an attribute and vertices for each instance of a selected block and creates a model view based on those inputs. This is my first attempt at a VLISP app.
Let's say there's a drawing populated with a block that has multiple visibility states for different size viewports and an attribute to label your sheet number. Once they are laid out, you run this app and it prompts you to select the "viewport block" that is placed. The app extracts the block name and for each instance it extracts the attribute name (sheet number) and vertices of the extents for the viewport. You will need to add the insertion point to the vertices, so that will have to be extracted as well. The app will then run the VIEW command to make a model view with the extracted data from each block.
When I attempt to plot one or more of my drawings in model view to pdf the plot will show gaps in between the edge of the paper and my border. The plot will vary per drawing but limited to the ledger and tabloid paper size, the plot area is set to window for the area the border contains, and the plot scale is fit to paper.

For example, a line of width 0.35mm and short dashed style is displayed correctly in model view, but in layout view is displayed as thin as the default width, and its dash style is also changed (dash length and interval).
Why does this happen and how to prevent it?

vbasepaper.JPGmodel.JPGIs it possible to display centrelines created in model space in a view created using viewbase? The snips I have attached show my problem. The black background image is from model space showing a node at a tubular instersection. The dark blue centrelines are always drawn first to set out the framework. When I create the manufacturing drawing in paper space it is sometimes useful to show the centrelines. However when I create a view using VIEWBASE only the 3d solids are considered and displayed. I do not want to have to draw the centrelines in every view and detail view as this will take an age and will have to be manually corrected in every view each time there is change.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have had a reoccuring problem in autocad architecture 2012 where model space views can no longer be dragged into a sheet. It just shows a circular cancel icon.
The sheets are set up fine and it may even have several MSVs already in place then out of no where the ability is lost. We have tried allt he usual fixes (checked the layers, restored the .bak file, tried on other computers, installed service packs) but it seems once the file is "poisoned" the only fix is to recreate the sheet and delete the old one. Not a terrible solution but it is not efficient.
We have a dozen computers all with acad architecture 2012 and it seems to happen on random computers and we can't pinpoint any specific differences between them.
We did not have this problem with Autocad architecture 2009.
It could be something with the project database.
My part is at an arbitrary angle relative to one of the planes and i cannot align the view in a drawing to be horizontal.I try to make a view, in the part file, in which the model will be horizontal, but there isn't any precise input for views.
I used the Look At tool to look at one face and all i need now is to rotate the view 90 degrees round one axis, but when i touch the line of the compass in the Constrained Orbit command the view jumps back to some position.
I have an image (jpeg) showing in the model view as transparent 50.
However, when it is viewed in Layout view the image is not tranparent. The VP transparency is also set to 50 in layer properties.
When I go to model space I am unable to adjust the view scale. Although I can get to the prompt for a new scale value, the program will not accept my changes. Is this locked somehow?
