AutoCad :: Align Paperspace View With Modelspace Rectangle
Nov 30, 2011
Is there a way to align a modelspace rectangle to viewport extents in paperspace? My situation is that I have several page 'layouts' (complete with paper size boundaries and title blocks) drawn in 2D modelspace, as this is how I have been plotting up until now. I am trying to set up these 'layouts' in actual paperspace Layout Tabs for batch processing, and I would like a way to position my view within a viewport so that the recatngle that I have drawn in modelspace snaps to the viewport extents. I am sure this is a 'day1' type of question, but I'm very new to paperspace Layouts.

My drawings are setup with these settings:
LTSCALE = 1
PSLTSCALE = 1
CELTSCALE = 1
When I draw a line with linetype GAS then it is NON-READABLE in the modelspace, or I have to zoom in very deep. In a viewport, no matter what scale, it is exactly as I want it. Also if the VP is 1:100 or 1:50, the lines look the same in the layouts VP.
The results (what is printed on paper) are good, so that should remain as is.
How should I use / modify these settings (or my way of working) so that the lines are drawn READABLE in modelspace without having to zoom, and that the lines in the viewports (thus on paper) remain readable also.

In the plot dialog box the options Plot paperspace last and Hide paperspace objects are only supposed to be available in Paperspace however they show up as checked in some of our drawings when plotting from Modelspace. They should be greyed out then. (see attached) If I copy/paste all objects into a new drawing everything is fine. If I delete all layout tabs the options are still checked when plotting in model space.
The only thing I can figure is there are paperspace entities in my model space or that somehow paperspace is leaking through into modelspace.

I have a drawing I'm working from where everything was drawn in model space including the drawing titleblock and the grips for an archD plot. A single viewport is used in paper space that encompasses the entire drawing - titleblock and all. My problem is that I want to use a different scale in the paperspace layout but keep the titleblock (and archD plot grips). Adding another paperspace viewport in the centre of the original does not seem to work as when I adjust the viewport scale it zooms in far too much. Is there a simple solution that I am missing?

Since I installed 2010, I noticed that OSNAP seems to want to snap to objects in model space that are outside of the viewport while I am in paper space. It seems to only happen with polygonal viewports.

I have this drawing that I just finished. There were a few dotted lines that were showing up correctly in model space. Then, when I switched over to paper space all of those lines were solid. I messed around with the option LTSCALE and set it to 0.01. This made the lines show up correctly in paper space, but now they are all messed up in model space. Is there an option to make it so they show up exactly the same in both model and paper space?

Is there a way to see and move paperspace viewport boundaries in model space?
Explaining: You have created layout which includes multiple viewports with different scale and size (view, section). Now you copy the layout to create a new layout with with same viewports. Now you have to change the view in all viewports. I have used technique where you double-click in viewport and you navigate in modelspace (pan/zoom) until you reach the right position.
The problem is If you have like 100 layouts with 10 viewports each, it takes very long time to pan the views into right position.
I have a some theories:
1. If I could see the viewports in modelspace, I could drag them all into right position without navigating them one-by-on in paperspace.
2. If I could pan the view in viewport by specific amount lets say 10m to the right.

I have a floor plan xreffed into model space, visretain=1 and i can see the room numbers. I switch to paperspace and go to layer properties and highlight all layers and then turn on all layers in he drawing and thaw in all three columns and still the room numbers do not show. The layer listed in model space is on and thawed. Why won't it show?

For a while I've been using Wipeout in paperspace to surround the title block in order for the underlying modelspace objects not to shine through. Suddenly this doesn't work anymore - i.e. modelspace objects are visible no matter what. I've been playing around with the bring to front / send to back commands, but to no avail. I

In modelspace, architectural schematic plans sections elevations which, when viewported into paperspace drawings, are scaled to 1:100. I therefore work in modelspace with Current object scale = 1, global scale factor = 100. This makes dashed lines etc reproduce at legible scale in a drawing at 1:100.
What about when I move on to details, which in paperspace are scaled to 1:5? At present I start a new file with Current object scale = 1, global scale factor = 5. This makes dashed lines etc reproduce at legible scale in a drawing at 1:5.
Isn't there a way to achieve this, while keeping both the schematic and the detail drawings in modelspace on the same, single file?
Even the above system fails when I want to scale one elevation of the schematics at 1:50, or foundation details at 1:10.

I'd like to know how to align an object in model space with the edge of my viewport in paperspace.
When I draw, I like to lay out multiple complete drawings in model space, make an appropriately scaled bounding box around them, and then snap a view port to the bounding box in my layout. I usually have multiple drawings lined up in a row in modelspace, so when I want a new layout I do a Save As and then pan around in my viewport to find the next bounding box, at which point I have to resize the viewport to get it to snap to the edges nicely. I really want to be able to to it the otehr way around- while panning I'd like to be able to grab a corner of my modelspace bouding box and snap it to the the corresponding corner of my viewport window. That way making new layouts would be a snap. Is there a way to do this in AutoCAD 2012 LT?

I created my sheets in another drawing using the Plan Production commands. Problem is that my alignment label Ticks displayed on the main drawing and Xrefs Modelspaces but do not display on the Xrefs' Paperspace. The ticks do not also plot on paper.

I am trying to create a layout view using the view manager in paperspace. Whenever i click on define window, it does not record any information no matter where i click. If i do the same task in model space, it accepts the window i select. I am currently using civil 3d 2013 with the latest updates.

I am trying to use a title block I made as a template in a paperspace. I made the title block in the model space of a separate drawing, its origin is at 0,0. I used the WBLOCK command to make the title block into its own saved block, but when I insert it into the paperspace of the drawing that I want to use the title block in the drawing of the title block is larger than the white rectangle which represents the paper. I can insert viewports and print the drawing fine, but the drawing of my title block being larger than the white area of the paperspace bugs me. How do I make it bigger?

I have received a drawing from a consultant that appears to be locked to a plan view. How this has been done and I would like to switch it off.
Just to be clear it is locked in the modelspace tab not a viewport.

In modelspace I have a drawing that is aligned perfectly, but when I create a new viewport in a layout the drawing that was created in modelspace seems slightly rotated in the layout view?

i've some trouble with a specific document. I could not align any rectangle or define a specific size. For exemple, i choose 600px x600 px in the top "menu" bar, illustrator change the values by 599,641 px
It's the same in inch, mm..etc.. The second thing it's if i choose a specific coordinate to place the rectangle , it's change by illustrator.
I have not the problem on other document.
It's a 21 cm 21cm @ 300 dpi, proprotions 1
No grid activited or anything else to force the magnetism

I am working on a rendering on vanilla AutoCad 2013, and I am getting frustrated with having to reset my viewport to the named view every time I move my camera.
I know that when you create a viewport you can call up a named view, but is there any way to link it permanently?

I am detailing a drawing with typical hole dimensions on a piece of steel angle. The drawing is setup such that the fabricator will have two options for each end of the steel angle. I have created two parts with the two options per end and have placed them outside of the page for reference.
I would like to reference each end of each piece, so that there are four pairs of views on the page (the two legs of the angle at each of the four ends), aligned in a grid. I have determined the best way to do this is with detail views. (Using breaks causes the break sign to appear huge, given the large gap I want between views. Using cropped views does not make it obvious that each end is a cutaway.)
My issue now is aligning the eight views. I know of the align options (horizontal, vertical, and in position), but they align to the "origin" of each detail, which is the center. With the angles being the same size, this works fine horizontally, but vertically, the pieces will never line up exactly, which is crucial to at least lining up the two legs of a single angle. The best I seem to be able to do is get the detail sizes as close to exact as possible so the centers come close to lining up. Even creating a projected view from a detail treats the cutaway end as part of the geometry, making it look a bit ridiculous.
way to precisely line up the views? I have done extensive searching and am confident that there is no inherent way to align based on a point or edge (seems like a deficiency on Autodesk's part), but is there a way to move the origin of a detail or something like that?

I'm pretty new to using multi view blocks and rendering etc etc... basically all I want to do is show my surface (lake and landscaping) as grass, show a clear blue hatch to represent the water line and add some multi view blocks.. people and trees...
Using the multiview blocks toolpalette I have dragged and dropped some blocks into model space and ensured they are at the correct elevation to sit on the surface...
I have noticed that only one of the multi view blocks within the landscape tab is showing as I would expect - the rest all look like an extruded cross... I don't know how to fix this or whether this is correct.

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 WOULD like to use viewcube. However the button in the view panel has a blue rectangle over the button. I've tried to enter "navvcube" in the command line with no success. I've gone through the help pages in 2011, again with no sucess. Does the blue cover mean it's not available?

If I have several sheets of several floors, and I want the views in each sheet to be positioned at exactly the same position. How do I best accomplish that?
You can use the "Guide Grid" to place the views on a sheet. Then you can align the view (using the grid lines) to this guide grid. In the other sheets, you can use again the same guide grid, just select the guide grid name in the properties of the sheet.
Additional information about guide grid is available in the Revit help, search for "Aligning views on a sheet" or "Guide Grid".

how can i know if the current view/display is align with the current ucs?
let's say i have rotate the ucs about z axis 45 degrees and make it plan now i draw some things and then i change back to world
worlducs = 1
viewdir = 0,0,1
ucsxdir = 1,0,0
ucsydir = 0,1,0
but the display is still in the ucs z 45 (ucsfollow = 0) set the view to PLAN current (now the view is aligned) but the system vars does not change.
For a plan UCS, you would need to compare the VIEWDIR system variable and the cross product of the UCSXDIR and UCSYDIR system varaibles.
