AutoCAD Print / Plot :: 2 Of 3 Viewports In Paper Space Do Not Show Up?

Mar 11, 2008

2 of 3 viewports in paper space do not show up in print preview, nor will they print. The viewports are all on the same layer, defpoint layer. Even if I create 3 new viewports and erase the old ones, still can only print preview one viewport and only one viewport will print.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Text Objects Not Printed In Conceptual Paper Space Viewports?

Jul 3, 2012

When printing a paper space viewport in Conceptual Visual Style mode, text objects are visible in the print preview but not in the printout on paper. Why are they not hidden in the preview if they are not going to be printed?

AutoCad :: Different Viewports In Paper Space To Show Different Aspects Of Drawing

Sep 19, 2013

I am using autocad 2011..I have a problem with printing to scale.I have completed a drawing in model space with a 1:1 ratio, all my units are in mm.I have created 3 different view ports in paper space to show different aspects of my drawing, each view port has a different scale.

The whole drawing is to be printed on A2 size paper.

My main viewport (which contains the primary aspect of my drawing) is to be drawn to scale. When I click on this view port Autocad states that has a scale of 0.008583 – what does this mean? See picture 1..When I print the document the scale is set to 1 inches = 25.4.

All I want to do is print my drawing so that it fits onto an A2 page, but the main view port is to be printed to a scale. I want to scale to be sensible some like 1 in 200 or 1 in 50 etc so that other people can use a ruler to work out the real life dimension.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting In Paper Space?

Nov 8, 2013

Normally I plot in paper space and everything works well. when I plot in paper space all the lines ae much, much lighter and almost invisible, whereas if I plot the same drawing in model space the plot comes out perfectly, though not in scale.  I must have pushed a wrong button somewhere but wnat button is beyond me.

AutoCAD LT :: PDF Print From Paper Space - Slow Preview Then Will Not Complete The PDF Plot

Sep 20, 2013

Have a dwg with two layouts sheets that print to  pdf in paper space - one layout works just fine the other NOT.

Both include one view port and a few small details as pdf underlays(@ 150 kb each) in the PAPER space layout.

The problem  sheet -  ran a very slow plot preview but it did complete a full view of the layout,  then when selected to do the plot it never completes the pdf.

I tried a pdf plot of the same area in MODEL space and it previews just fine and plots to a pdf just fine.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Export Drawing From Paper Space - Small Details In PDF

Jun 1, 2011

I've run into a small problem while trying to export a drawing from paper space as a PDF.  The drawing is of an electrical panel for a product.  The panel is rather large, but the drawing includes some smaller details, such as a vendor logo on a component or a few extra lines on the border of a display screen.  We have a large, multi page PDF file that uses A4 paper size that I need to insert this drawing into, so the export must be at this size.  When exporting, I have CAD set to use monochrome and ignore the line weights, which solved my initial problem that the parts would show up as solid black splotches.

Now that the back story is over, here's the problem.  When I export the pdf, everything looks great except these small details around the components.  For some reason, the lines in the components will shift to one side or the other, causing breaks between features.  Most of these breaks occur between an arc endpoint and a line endpoint.  The export also excludes some smaller bits of geometry.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Paper Space Viewports - Wipeouts In Model Space

Jul 13, 2012

I have several viewports rotated in paper space. When i set them to let say 1:100 scale go to paper space and then click into viewport it comes back to zoom extends of model space and i have to set it all up again and rotate it.

Second problem is that I've created wipeout in model space when i go to layout (paper space) ti looks just how i want it.

When I go to preview or plot it doesn't recognise any wipeouts?

AutoCad :: Multiple Viewports To One Viewport (paper Space)

Apr 12, 2013

I am currently working on a .DWG in Civil3D which has 12 viewports. This particular .DWG causes my computer to lag quite a bit. I was wondering if there was a way of combining viewports in paper space (i.e. taking areas from multiple viewports and displaying them in one viewport), or if I am stuck with the individual viewports? I am just looking to speed up the process, it takes a long time to load the .DWG and work within it, the problem happens to others as well.

.DWG info:
Large area with many smaller sites (retention ponds and such)
All sites must remain in the paper space layout
(I've tried deleting viewports, and that does speed up the process, but again, I need to keep all sites intact).

Computer info:
Windows 7 64-bit
8GB Ram
Intel Core i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800

AutoCad :: Assign Viewports In Paper Space To A Separate Layer?

Apr 26, 2013

Is it possible to assign viewports in paper space to a separate layer?

Explanation: I have a paper space with one singular viewport. On the same paper space I added three other viewports that I scaled in but only need for one thing. Can I assign these viewports to a layer and apply them when I need them or do I have to make a seperate paper space for each task.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Rotating Paper Space View (not Just Viewports)

Jul 31, 2013

I have wall section sheets that are best viewed in portrait mode, but use the same landscape page setup as the other sheets in the set.  So the viewports for the sections are rotated 90 degrees and difficult to read on the screen.  Is it possible to rotate the paper space UCS and rotate the paper space "view" to match the UCS, like you can in model space? 

I don't want to rotate the viewports and title blocks themselves & set up a portrait page setup.  This is because I'm using Acrobat's PDF maker for batch plotting and not using the same page setup for each sheet makes one click, fire-and-forget publishing impossible.  And I don't want to use DWG-to-PDF because it doesn't have any configurable image compression settings that I know of.

If it's not possible, then it's not the end of the world.  We have AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD LT 2012 & 2013.

AutoCad :: Elements In Model Space Don't Show Up In Paper Space

Aug 21, 2011

I'm working on a plan that contains an xref with some elements that are not visible in paper space at my chosen scale. The xref is an annotated structural grid. It is entirely visible in model space, but in paper space only the grid is visible, annotations such as dimensions and section cut indicators are not. Strangely, or maybe not, when I change the scale in paper space, these elements appear.

Other presentation tabs exist, created by other people, that use a different scale and those presentations properly display. The annotations are blocks in the xref document, and I wonder if those blocks could somehow be set to only display at a certain scale. I don't see any such options in the block editor. Although, I have added to this document, I did not create it, nor the xref or the blocks.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Viewports - Workspace Resets View When Activated In Paper Space

Mar 6, 2013

The model space orientation is different than the paper space orientation (I have my viewport rotated) but whenever I am working in paper space and double-click inside model space to activate the viewport, it resets/reorients the view to match the orientation in model space. It also changes the scale. If I lock the viewport and then double-click inside to activate model space it does not change.

I don't want to always have my viewports locked to work on them in paper space.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Can't Rotate Plot To Fit Paper

Aug 3, 2009

I am trying to print a tall, thin window, auto-scaled to fit on 11x17 paper using a Windows PC3 driver. I want the image to be essentially 17" tall. No matter what paper orientation I choose in the printer Properties (Portrait or Landscape), the image is rotated automatically the wrong direction. (The print preview shows the paper rotated as Portrait or Landscape correctly, but the image is always rotated to fit the 11" dimension of the paper). I'm using AutoCAD Electrical 2008.

AutoCad :: Won't Show Viewports In Realistic Shade Plot

Jul 16, 2012

Take a look below at my viewports and take the following into consideration:

AutoCAD 2012- CADPipe 12.0
Viewports are 2D Wireframe
Shade Plot is set to Realistic
Bottom right-hand viewport has been 'clipped'
All viewports have been '3d-Clip'ed
All text is done in Paperspace
All files have been X-reffed into a plot tab drawing (over 20 files)
I've created 15 other tabs using the same layout as this one with no issues

Preview shows all viewports, but when it prints, only the left two come out and parts of the other two.

This is how it looks in my Paperspace Tab.Paperspace Viewport Layout.jpg

This is how it's SUPPOSED to look, and looks in 'Print Preview'.Print Preview.jpg

This is what comes out after I print. Final Print.jpg

Never had this problem before. Can't figure out why it's not printing the two to the right. Viewports are set to 'on' and 'display viewport objects'. All pipe is in te same layer (just on seperate drawings). All are set to printable.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plot Results From Paperspace Are Different From Model Space?

Jan 17, 2013

I have several objects on various layers in model space and they are exposed through a viewport in a paperspace layout. I also have a corporate CTB plot style.

Here is my problem: If i plot the objects from model space, they all plot with the correct lineweights as defined in our corporate CTB, but when i plot them from the paperspace layout, some but not all objects plot with a heavier lineweight than what is defined in the CTB.

I thought the CTB was supposed to override any settings applied to individual objects, but more importantly, why the different results, on the same objects, depending upon the space from which they're plotted?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Viewports Of Pdf Underlays Not Plotting?

Aug 27, 2013

I have a bunch of pdf underlays in model space with four viewports referencing them in one paperspace layout. The viewports are on their own non-plot layer and the pdf underlays are on a plottable layer. This isn't an issue on the original dwg that I copied them from.

-Everything appears fine in paperspace (see FIG. 1)

-When I go to plot, only the viewport on the right shows up. (see FIG. 2)

-If I move the viewports on the left to the right side, they plot.(see FIG 3)

-When I move the original right viewport to the left side it no longer plots. (NOT SHOWN)

-If I toggle each viewport in the original layout and draw a random line in model space all four of them plot(see FIG. 4)

-I've checked the vp and pdf underlay layers and properties-all are good

-I've tried creating new vp's and still have same issues

-tried creating a new dwg, copied in the pdf underlays and still have same issue

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Export To PDF - Viewports Not Plotting As Displayed

Feb 5, 2013

I am plotting a layout with several viewports as a PDF, and the viewports are not plotting as displayed. Everything else on the layout plots perfectly.

I've attached two pictures:

1) asdisplayed.jpg is what I want

2) pdfoutput.jpg is what is outputed. As you can see the lines are (1) greyed + (2) do not have the lineweight I desire.

1) asdisplayed: 

2) pdfoutput:  

Here are my settings:

1) Plot style table: acad.ctb. I modified the Color 250 to be completely black so that text would be black. I've set the color for every object in modelspace to color 250 as well (no dither).
2) Plotter: DWG to PDF.pc3
3) Paper size: ANSI expand B
4) Plot scale: 1:1
5) Plot object lineweights: checked!
6) Plot with plot styles: checked!
7) Plot paperspace last: checked!
8 ) "Shade plot" setting for viewports: all set to "as displayed"
9) All viewports set to "Hidden" visual style

NOTE: I've noticed changing to visual style to 2D wireframe or using isolines tends to output exactly as displayed (keeps the lineweight + the black color / not greyed out. I need to use the hidden visual style for my purposes. 

Also I always get the option to update shading plots for viewports and I've clicked both options - both get same results of the modified viewports.

AutoCad :: How To Always Ensure Linetypes Show Same In Model And Paper Space

Nov 27, 2011

I've been using AutoCAD for a while now, started with 2011 and now I'm using 2012. However, the one issue I've never been able to resolve is how to get my linetypes to show in model space properly, and then how to get them to show the same way in paperspace.

I know it has something to do with, at least, LTSCALE and PSLTSCALE. I've never know the 'formula' to make those work - it takes a lot of trial and error before they work together. Is there a trick to just making all of this work, without changing scales and regenerating countless times?

The current drawing I'm working with; I'm drawing in 1:1, with my viewports set to 1:100. My LTSCALE is 500, and my PSLTSCALE is set to 0. That seems to make things 'work' but, I can't figure out how to always just make these values work.

I should add I've checked the forums for a 'magic' answer and, there doesn't seem to be one. Is this the way it really is? I thought AutoCAD would be a little more intuitive than just 'trial and error until it works'.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Paper Size Filtering

Oct 19, 2011

I'm having a problem making paper size filtering 'stick'.

For years I've configured PC3 and their associated PMP files for each of our printers and plotters. As a part of the configuration, I filter out all the paper sizes we don't use. Once the PC3 and PMP files are configured, they're copied to all the local PC's. I've never had a problem with this, until now.

On the PC where the PC3 file is configured, the filtering is correct. On any other PC, various paper sizes are added. For instance, I'll filter out all paper sizes on printer "X" except for 8.5x11 and 11x17. On a similar PC, the paper sizes "16k 197x273mm" and "8k 273x394mm" are added.

If I point the PC's to a location on our network where the PC3 and PMP files are stored, I get the same results.

We have two OS's here - Win7 Pro and XP Pro. All OS's are kept up-to-date. All the Win7 PC's use the same version of the HP Universal Print Driver. All the XP PC's use the same version of the printer specific drivers.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting To Roll Paper

Feb 18, 2013

We have a T790 44in, with 42" roll paper installed.

The thing I'm having trouble with, is getting it to act like it has roll paper. I can set custom paper sizes in the printer drives all day (such as 42" x 42") but this is only half way accurate, and can waste a lot of paper.

Is there a particular way to set the printer to use the roll paper?
