I have this layout inside cloud area i want to standard setting like if i want to print on A3 paper which text height i need to use dimension title block etc.
2nd question is that inside cloud area there is some point (Red) like M1 to Mxxx i need to get coordinate in table is there any lisp to make table with coordinate otherwise i need to pick one by one point p
Where is the “annotative scale” and “paper text height” properties?
I couldn’t find the “annotative scale” and “paper text height” properties when dealing with “Civil 3D” objects such as points and contours the same way we have it in the regular AutoCAD.
For example, suppose that I need to increase to decrease the “text height” of the point label considering a particular “annotative scale” property, then how this kind of thing might be done in the AutoCAD Civil 3D?
I have trouble figuring out dash lines. If i change global scale factor or current object scale in a spedific paper space,
the other page will be affected...
I set up my paper space to A1 size so i have plenty of room to dimention. However, if i measure what AutoCAD has set up as 'A1' then it is 3.2cm x 2.2cm, the atual size of A1 paper is 59cm x 84cm. If i were to print this page on A1 paper it still comes out the right size on A1. I know it doesnt sound too serious but i would like the paper space in the right scale so i can have my text set to the right hight and my bubble reference boxes the right size for when it is printed. (it also does this on all paper sizes, im just using A1 today)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup some pre-made paperspace layouts with legends and details. These will not change from project to project so by doing this ahead of time it can save time provided we can get the line types to display correctly!
How we do things now is we set the global scale factor, GSF, to suit the drawing scale of our floor plan. This is typically 1/4", 3/6" or 1/8" if were working in Imperial units.
The issue in doing this is that when we change the GSF the line types drawn in model space do not display correctly. We could go in and adjust everything manually on each project but this is laborious and time consuming.
Is there a way to set up sheets in paperspace so that they will always display the same regardless of the GSF?
I am using AutoCAD LT 2011.
I do most of my stuff on A3 and have my paper space sheets set up for this no problems. When I have my drawing in paper space i usually set the scale to what I want. Now, when I am still in paper space with my correct scale, I want to change to model space and move or position the drawing exactly where I want it on my sheet , without it going out of scale. I have a very sensitive middle button on the mouse, and when I hold it down to move the drawing around, it goes out of scale I want to lock the scale first before moving the drawing around.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWorking in acad2011, I have a 3D model and i did flatshot. The obscured lines I chose to be - - - - - (ISO02W100). Now i have to annotate and get my paper layout rdy for printing.
Questions:
1. Is there a way of scaling lines that make up my flatshot image in model space?
2. How can i scale the lines in paper space?
The - - - - - lines just don't seem right in my paper space.
I am trying to plot a map at on 24 x 36 paper and keep it to scale. It appears I have all of the correct settings including 1"=1', fit to paper is unchecked, etc. My print preview comes across correctly but when I go to plot a message appears in the command line stating
Effective plotting area: 26.00 wide by 18.00 high
Effective plotting area: 13.63 wide by 6.22 high
Plotting viewport 2.
Effective plotting area: 13.77 wide by 6.25 high
Plotting viewport 3.
Plotting viewport 1.
The plot then comes out on paper way larger then 24x36 and the area plotted is limited to the 13.77 x 6.25. My co-worker opened the drawing and printed it to scale on 24x36 no problem. What gives? I cannot find a setting to get it to plot correctly.
Im working for a geological firm that use timescales to describe their work (depths at times etc). I need to compress the time bar but not alter the text but cant find way to do it. Im only scaling in 1 direction.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Setting the scale in a view port in paper space? 2010
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to have users plot to DWF from paper space so they can retain their customized layers colors etc, on that specific paper space tab, as well as the view via viewport that they like most.
I then am mixing this with FDO data generated out of Model space. Unfortunately, when using the EXPORTLAYOUT command, the data is coped into Model space but seems to retain it's paper space coordinates. I had hoped this function would behave like CHSPACE and copy everything from paper to model space in the same scale.
Is there a way for me to achieve this?
I have an issue with linetype scale. I have a certain part of my drawing with dash lines at a linetype scale of 1000. In Model space it is fine but when I change to Paper Space the lines become solid. I have tried increasing the linetype scale in Model space to compensate for the scale in Paper space but the lines are still solid.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOn some drawings some of the text and dimensions don’t show up in paper space.
On other drawings they appear as required.
I have checked everything that I know how to check but can’t find what the difference is.
just wondering if any of you know the command that I can use in order to align my text in papr space. I'm running 2011 and 2013 C3D. I have several callouts that are in a row, and I COULD draw a line straight down and just move them all to it, but that's a very inefficient way of getting this done. At the last company I worked, we had a command in the system simply called LINEUP that would align any text we wanted either horizontally or vertically. If this is a button I can create with code or whatever, I could try to do that too, if necessary. Just might take me a while to do the code, but I know there's a more efficient way of performing this task.

I've made them very tiny in Model space but they still end up huge in Layout.
The text height in my model space is 1', then I open the model space and try to text in a new viewport, the text height changes to 48'.
I try to go back to model space to do the texting, but the text height is still 48'.

Anyway, I can't seem to be able to type anything in text or mtext windows. I either have my keyboard input ignored completely, or I get blank spaces, depending on what font I choose. Disabling the Aero themes don't work. All runs fine in a XP virtual machine, but more slowly.
I created a legend in the Block Editor which obviously requires text. I inputted the block into paper space because it's easier to input it into paper space for location purposes on the drawing.
Everything was fine, but when I went to plot it (by converting it from .dwg to .pdf), the pdf showed the text plotting vertically (down to up) instead of horizontally (left to right). I've checked the properties of the text, nothing is glaringly wrong, and since it only appears after being plotted to .pdf, I'm not really sure what the problem is.
Are there restrictions to adding blocks to paper space that I'm unaware of?
I can select mtext in paper space to edit it. I can create a new text object and select it but I am unable to select existing mtext objects. Audit and recover does not eliminate it. Everything is at 0 elevation. The only to select it is to write block the entire drawing out. That gets sort of inconvenient. Is there a variable that is getting set like the imageframe variables that prevents me from select the text?

Any useful chart for plotting in different scales. Maybe a standard size chart. I usually print in 3/8", 1/2", 6", and full size paper space viewports.
