AutoCad 2D :: How To Make Text 2.2mm In All Of Viewports

Mar 13, 2013

I'm currently working on a drawing that has three different viewports with the scales of 1-250, 1-500 & 1-1000. I would like the text I've created in model space, to display at the same size (2.2mm) in all of these different viewports.

I'm using metric, and 1 unit in AutoCAD = 1m. I know that most people use 1 unit in AutoCAD = 1mm, but in my profession (working on large architectural site surveys) 1 unit in AutoCAD = 1m is the norm.

So the viewports are set at 4:1 for 1-250, 2:1 for 1-500 & 1:1 for 1-1000. I've set the text to be annotative, and to have the same scales. The annotation scale is currently set at 2:1 in model space.

Firstly, I don't really understand why and when I'd need to change the annotation scale in model space? I've adjusted it in the past to make sure that lintypes display the same in both model space and within viewports. Is it the same thing?

Secondly, by doing the above, all that I've achieved is that currently in model space the text is 1.1m high (which is what I want, and how I'd originally created it). In the viewports it is now coming out at 8.8mm for 1-250 (4 x too big), 4.4mm for 1-500 (2 x too big), and 2.2mm for 1-1000 (the correct size).

When I activate the viewports, it tells me that "annotation scale is not equal to viewport scale" in all but the 1-1000 viewport.

How can I make the text 2.2mm in all of the viewports?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Auto Rotate Text And Text Box In Multiple Viewports

Dec 19, 2013

I have used annotative text and selected yes for match orientation to layout for the text.  In the viewport it is rotating automatically with the view, however the boxes around the text do not rotate as well.  Is there anyway to automate this?

The Client requires a key plan which has all the pipe data on it.  The key plan is oriented in one direction.  Then for the plan & profile drawings, the plan is oriented in another direction.  I don't want to have two create two sets of text (one for the key plan and one for the plan/profile drawing).  How can I use one set of text and make it work in the key plan and for all the plan/profile drawings?  Image is attached.

AutoCad :: Text In Rotated Viewports

Feb 7, 2012

I am working on a project that has around 6 different roads, all at different angles from one another. The problem I have is when I start to create the lay-outs, I use a rotated viewport so that the roadway will be horizontal across the page. I then rotate the text so that it will be horizontal or at 90 º within the viewport. This has worked fine in the past.

With this project I have multiple areas that are sharing 2 or 3 different viewports, therefore, the text alignment for one does not match the other.

Is there a way to associate the alignment of the text to the viewport? Or will I have to copy the drawing multiple times (one for each viewport)?

AutoCAD LT :: 2012 Text Invisible In Viewports

May 7, 2013

I'm running AutoCAD LT 2012.  The text in my drawing becomes invisible when I'm in the layouts.  (The text associated with leaders is still visible).  These drawings are not complicated, but the scale I'm using is 1"=200', so they are large.  Everything in the drawing is on Layer 0.  There are no X-refs.  When I switch back to the model tab, all the text is there.

AutoCad :: Layout With Multiple Viewports To DWG With Viewports Flattened Out

Aug 23, 2011

I have a lot of sheet DWGs with a single layout in each. The layouts have several viewports into model space.

Is there a way to export out the layout tab where the viewport contents have been converted and placed into the layout space?

Ideally, I'm hoping to basically convert the viewport heavy paperspace into a dumb model space layout.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text Size Control In Viewports

Jun 21, 2013

I have 2 viewports, one at 1:1000 and the other at 1:250.  They show exactly what I want with respect to the area covered and the zoom factor, BUT the text on all of the survey shots is changing size based upon the different viewport scales.

I need the text on the survey points to remain the same size and not adjust based upon the viewport scale.  So the text should be a fixed scale and not associative.

I have looked at the labeling style Composer dialogue and can not see a way to specify a fixed height which does not adjust based upon the viewport scale. I can set the point symbols to a specific size so they do not scale - Can I do the same with the text labels (description, elevation, etc.)?

AutoCad :: Put Text And Dims On In Model Space - Scaling Viewports

Jun 27, 2013

For some reason I have it in my head that you can put all of your text and dims on in model space, then when scaling your viewports the dims and text will re-size its self automatically for that viewport setting. I.e text will be 25 in model space, but in vieports it will plot at 10 or 2 depending on the viewport setting.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Mirrored Dimension Text Style For Viewports Viewing From Bottom

Nov 7, 2013

I need to start doing shaped glass drawings for our new glass supplier who insists everything is viewed from outside. Unfortunately all our drawings are viewed from inside and I don't want my team to be responsible for copying and flipping glass details in case they forget to flip one day.

I can obviously mirror the viewport view by clicking View/Views/Bottom but this is also mirroring any text dimensions, even though my Mirrtext preference is set to 0.

Is there a way to set a dimension style where the text is automatically back to front so it will then appear the right way round in that particular viewport. How to get round this problem without duplicating parts that can then get missed at a later date and not amended?

This needs to work in both AutoCAD 2014 and AutoCAD LT 2014 as we run a mixture in our office.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dynamic Block - Unable To Get Text Orientate To Horizontal Position In Viewports

Jul 10, 2012

I made a simple block for a utility pole in plan view. It consisted of a donut with one string of mtext beside it. I had  created it so that the text would orientate itself to be horizontal in each viewport regardless of the ucs angle. I later added a line for a guy wire and made the block dynamic with visibility states. Now I am unable to have the text orientate to a horizontal position in the viewports.

AutoCad 2D :: Setup Multiple Viewports On Title Block - Text And Dimensions In Annotative Style

Nov 28, 2012

I've completed my drawing (Autocad architectural 2012) and set-up my multiple view-ports (at 1:50 and 1:5 scale) on my title-block.

I'm now going to add my text and dimensions im model space....and that's when the problems start!

I've created text and dimensions in annotative style.

The issue I have is when I change annotation scale from 1:50 to 1:5 my text and dimensions in model space automatically changes (as can be seen on attachment) to a huge scale but is perfect in layout view for differing scales.

AutoCAD .NET :: Viewports That Allow Freeze Vs Viewports That Do Not

Oct 21, 2011

The code I'm using is supposed to go through all of the layouts and freeze the specified layer in the single viewport that is defined on that layout.  It works for some viewports, but not for others.  A "List" of the objects show the viewports are the same.  I have a LiSP routine that gets me more info about selected objects.  The first is a viewport that does not freeze the specified layer, the second does freeze the layer.  Here is the code I'm using:

Public Sub FreezeNewLayerInVPs(ByVal pageNumber) Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocumentDim db As Database = doc.Database Dim layerToFreeze As String = "DETAIL_" & pageNumber Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager. Start Transaction( )Dim layTable As LayerTable = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(db.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead),

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Make Text Slide Along A Polyline

Jan 24, 2013

About 6 years ago some people in the Land Desktop group were complaining about not being able to move the text in a linetype so as not to obscure other entities.

how I went about it and a drawing showing an example. Drawing is 2012.

I don't say this is going to replace linetype. I'm also going to see if there's a better way of doing this with Civil Objects. But I've wanted to figure this out for a while and had some down time today. So this is for you to play with if you want. I was looking at my Undocumented Commands file and that reminded me of it since this done with un(or little)documented commands.

If you open the drawing. Select one of the magenta circles (nodes) in the center of the text to activate grips. Select a triangular grip and use it to slide the text along the polyline.
