I had created 14 layouts, in 9 of them i can copy my stamp, in others 3 - I cant ( I am doing copybase and simple copy/paste - isn't working)... what could be wrong with those few layouts. ?

In the right Mouse click drop down window the Paste, Paste as Block and the Paste to Original Coordinates are grayed out.
The copy with Base Point works, as does the Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V and repeat Paste Block from the recent Input drop down selection. Why the paste commands are grayed out?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm about ready to put together a large job that is going to have a lot of sheets. Since most of my jobs are one sheet plans, this is out of my comfort zone. I usually just have a scaled cover sheet/border that I drop into model space and put whatever I need into it there and then print it. This job has several mini jobs in one huge model space. I think It's going to be better for me to actually use paper space as its intended this time. I'm using 2010. Just a skeleton of an order of operations, so at least I have something to search for detailed instructions.

I want to make a code to zoom extents all layouts in a open drawing.I wrote this but it doesn't work at all:
Sub zoomextentslayouts()
Dim Laytab As AcadLayout
For Each Laytab In ThisDrawing.Layouts
ZoomExtents
Next Laytab
End Sub
I Can't think of what might be making this happen, but when I export a single layout to PDF (or to a printer) everything works out as normal. When I Export all Layouts to PDF, my text changes fonts and inserts squares for only some of the characters.

The background objects cannot be selected or deleted but if I go to the block editor screen -choosing any block for my selection, when I close the block edit and return to the layout, the objects are cleared.

The .DWG came from a manufacturer and displayed 3 pages worth of content that was seperated into 3 Engineering Drawings.
The layout included all 3 pages. I want to Plot this document to a 3 Page PDF.
Do I need to create 3 seperate layouts? How do I specify what part of the model goes into a particular layout?
I have found this point today!
If I want to trunoff/on some layers in different layouts, the best way is to use "vp freeze" column in layers properties manager. This way I can manipulate layers' visibility without altering them in MS or other layouts.
Left to "vp freeze" column there is "new vp freeze". I don't know what is this one?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm doing a work where i need to copy many layouts. I can set a few at a time, but doing one at a time is faster (in the end). However, rightclicking the mousebutton on the layout, copy it and scroll to the bottom to 'place at end' it time consuming.
I rather have a lisp of some kind that can copy the current layout and place it at the end (most right) of the layout tabs.
if it is possible with some -command (commandbar) i can do it myself, but i can't find any command to do so...
I've encountered a pretty nasty problem over the past week. I can no longer add specific layouts to existing sheet sets. I can make a new sheet set, but I cannot see the drawings that I would like to add to the sheet set.
The only "solution" I've found is to make a new sheet set, save each of the desired dwgs as newly renamed dwgs, and then, f if I pat myself on the head and spin around in 3 complete circles, I have a 78% chance of being able to add them to the new sheet set.
Obviously, this is like cutting off your hand and holding it, while your friend shakes your deadhand, instead of just shaking his hand.
I've read about this so-called dbl file, but much like Bigfoot, I have not seen one with my own eyes. We have never had this problem in our office- got a new server- had this problem (isolated to the new drive) - got it "fixed" - problem has spread to older drives.

when I use the selection with the mouse, I can clearly see in model space the borders of the window I create. But when I switch to Layouts, it's invisible. I can still use it, but it's annoying not seeing the window selection. I've tried with OPTIONS-SELECTION and DISPLAY tabs to adjust it and it didn't work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the drawings, which has 64 layouts each. I want to move the multiple layouts to one dwg (means one drawing should have 128 multiple layouts with in) At this that two drawings having layout only, i deleted all object in model space, model space would be the same for that two drawings, after i made the combined dwg. I tired to move the layout by using drag and drop on design center, It was not done. the autocad shows the message was fatal error: out of memory.
View 6 Replies View Relatedmaybe I was dreaming. Maybe I've gone round the bend. I seem to remember somewhere a check box that would show hidden lines in paperspace viewports. For instance, a through hole, or a cavity in something.
Been a while since I've done much besides architectural drawing, so maybe I'm hallucinating.
I also distinctly remember the monochrome plot style always printing in black and white, even in a PDF. Today, the objects in modelspace are in color, and anything in paper space is black and white.
What is up with that? I must be missing something obvious, because I've screwed around with this for an hour and can't figure out what I've done to cause this.
I have an object in model space. but in layout i can see a portion of the object profile as duplicate away from actual object. As i close and reopen the file it disappears. What could be the cause?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOur company has lots of drawings/part-numbers that have anywhere from 2-9 sheets. These are all saved as individual .dwg files. I am looking to Xref the "extra" files in one main file and make layouts of those Xrefs for ease of plotting.
As we only have LT, we obviosly can't use the "Sheet Set Manager", and this is the best way I know how to do this. Is there a fast way of creating layouts (other than right clicking and selecting "Page Setup Manager"?
Or maybe I should say it this way: What do you thing is the best way of going about this venture.
I have been trying to figure out how to copy a Layout from one DWG to another. I know there are several threads about this, and I have tried the methods they reccomend, but I am having an unusual problem.
I have been trying to open a Layout by using the "from Template" option for creating a new Layout, then opening the DWG containing the desired Layout. It works, but everything drawn in model space ends up compressed into the lower left corner and there is nothing in model space. So, the paper space information from the Layout is being imported, but the drawing info is getting mixed up somehow.
I have tried using the Design Center with identical results.
On a road project I have an acquisition parcel that is matched across 2 viewports on one layout. I would usually slide the parcel label so it's only visible on one layout. Then I'd add a second label that would be visible on the second layout.
This line happens to cross the viewport near the end. If I add a label in the lower viewport that looks reasonable. It will overlap in to the upper viewport. I can drag the label to very near the end of the line but it doesn't look right there. I don't think it's good procedure to try and force one parcel label on to it's own layer so it can be frozen in that one viewport.
Any technique for handling this situation?

Any good free tutorial online about viewports and plotting from them and to get correct scale?
DView commands. We're using layout drawings of sites that are aligned with True North.
We've been using DView to rotate site layouts within model space in order to to align the layout better within the window and set up icons as such. And we have multiple Sheets set up with different information being displayed (ie different layers turned off). But when we go to the sheets, the Paper Space view still shows it's Original Orientation.
What I'd like to know is there a simple way to set the various different layouts to the same as Model Space, Without having to manually DView each Viewport as well?
