AutoCad 3D :: How To Dimension Using Paperspace

Nov 23, 2011

For those who are using paperspace and want to dimension your modelspace 3D part.

1. Create a new dimstyle called 3D Standards (copy from your already standard dimstyle), the only thing you are going to change is the text alignment, change it to align with dimension lines.

2. In modelspace use your 3 point UCS and select 3 points on part how dim. will lay. So, if you need to dim. top, then pick 3 points on top, ect...

3. Change the dimscale to reflect the same scale as the viewport.

4. When finished dimensioning your part, select (Changespace) and select all dimensions (if you want all your dimensions to be in paperspace.

AutoCad 2D :: Get Dimension Text That Pull Out To Side Closer To Actual Dimension Marks?

Jun 2, 2011

I'm trying to get the dimension text that I pull out to the side closer to the actual dimension marks. The 2 1/2" and 2" shown have a minimum distance they can get toward their dimensions. I would like it to be about half of what it is, but so far I haven't been able to find the property that changes that.

AutoCad 2D :: Override Dimension With Formula / Function That Relates To The Length Of Dimension

Feb 10, 2012

Is it possible to override a dimension with some sort of formula or function that relates to the length of the dimension?

A simple linear scaling might be possible by inventing a new unit with the appropriate conversion ratio, but that wouldn't work. What I need for the dimension to display a length 400 less than the actual length.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Override A Dimension To Create A Basic Dimension?

Jun 27, 2011

Is there a way to override a dimension and have it shown as a GD&T Basic dimension. I can override a dimension with the text option but not with a box around the letter. It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Text Gone In Paperspace

Feb 27, 2012

A file created over a year ago (I believe with AutoCAD 2010) is needing to be updated.  I have AutoCAD 2012 and when I open it there is no text in my Paper Space.  However, if my manager is to open the same exact file with his AutoCAD 2012 he can clearly see all of the text is still in place.  Is there a setting somewhere that I have missed that may be making the text not show up?  All layers are on and visible.

AutoCAD .NET :: Position A Block In Paperspace?

Nov 23, 2011

I've worked on a command that automatically imports a dwg into paperspace and positions it. I've just realized that when imported vertically, the titleblock is on the wrong side of the layout. I've imported it to (10,10,0) and would like to import to those exact opposite co-ordinates to essentially flip it but i'm a bit unclear as to how. I know that I can use the commands  Database.PextMax  and Database.PextMin to determine the max and min points of the primary layout, but what co-ordinates are these, are they the top right corner and bottom right corner. 

For what it's worth, here's my routine:

string dwgName = HostApplicationServices.Current.FindFile(comp, acadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database, FindFileHint.Default);
Database db1 = new Database(false, false);
db1.ReadDwgFile(dwgName, System.IO.FileShare.Read, true, "");
ObjectId BlkId;
BlkId = doc.Database.Insert(dwgName, db1, false);
BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)tr.GetObject(doc.Database.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead, true);

[code]....

AutoCAD 2013 :: Paperspace Viewports

Mar 30, 2012

when it comes to viewports in paperspace in 2013, due to the nature of my work i have several layout drawings all drawn on top of each other and all with ther own txt and dims etc, which again is all on top of each other making it impossible to work in model space, for this reason i work in paperspace within a viewport but now i have upgraded to 2013 while i am in mid command e.g. dimension and zoom into first point then zoom back out and in again to second point, by this time i have been kicked out of the viewport and just in paperspace so cant complete the command, doesnt always happen?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Paperspace

Jun 25, 2013

When I make a layout with a part of my drawing in a viewport, I switch over to paperspace to draw dimension lines in it. Although the layout is displayed in another scale (e.g. 1:100) it puts the right dimensions at the drawing.

But now a problem appears:

With one of my drawings the layout does not put the right dimensions at the drawing in paperspace. I really don't know what went wrong. Strange dimensions appear, as if there must be a strange scale factor somewhere. (Dimlfac=1)

AutoCad :: Model Space To Paperspace

Jul 4, 2012

I am having difficulties with the scale of my drawing. In my model space, the units are set to decimal - millimeters. And then, when I set up a viewport in paper space even 1/128"=1'-0" is too small. I'm using a size 24"x36" paper. Everything is set to 1:1 and I drew 1:1 in model space. Previously, another person drew this drawing and it fit on an 8x11 sheet of paper at 1:10, but mine doesn't fit on 24x36.What did I do wrong?

AutoCad 2D :: Get Paperspace Distances When Using Dimensions

Mar 22, 2011

When using dimensions in paperspace i get the paperspace distances. Not those of the object i've drawn in model space.
f.e.: if i draw a line of 100 mm in model, and my zoom e on it in a viewport of 420, I'll get the distance 420. Like the dimension is not interacting with the model, see? Thought it would have something to do with the snapping, but can't find the link.
