AutoCad :: Dashed Line In Paperspace Layouts

Feb 21, 2013

i have a bunch of sheets set up, and you can see a white rectangle with a shadow that i guess represents my page, and then in this page there's a dashed rectangle that i'm guessing has something to do with margins or something. i would like to turn this dashed rectangle off, if possible.

secondly, my sheets are set up for 11x17.. i was given a title block drawing to use. the title block was drawn in modelspace at 11x17. i copied it into the sheet and it seems to be the right size. there's an 11x17 rectangle that the titleblock sits in, and i'd like to line this up with the actual page (to make sure the titleblock is in the right spot).. however i can't seem to snap to the corners of the white page with the shadow.

AutoCAD .NET :: Accessing Entities On Paperspace Layouts

Dec 13, 2012

I'm trying to rewrite some old VBA code into VB.net (which I'm not even Novice level yet), and I'm stumped on what would be a fairly simple principle (in VBA)..
 
For Each BlockDef in ThisDrawing.blocks If Left(BlockDef.name, 12) = "*Paper_Space" then Select Case True Case BlockDef.Layout.Name Like "*Test*" blah blah End Select End IfNext
Essentially conditional manipulation of paperspace elements depending on the layout name.

 The following fragment allows me to recurse through entities in paperspace, but I've no idea which layout tab..
 
Dim BlkPaperSpc As BlockTableRecord = ScanTrans.GetObject(BlkTab _(BlockTableRecord.PaperSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite)For Each AcObjId As ObjectId In BlkPaperSpc Dim PspaceObj As String = AcObjId.ObjectClass.NameNext
 
What I need to do is to be able to identify a type of object (a table), confirm it's location, delete it and replace it with another one, depending on which layout tab it's on.

AutoCad :: Paperspace Layouts Switching To Portrait?

Mar 2, 2010

We have a huge vault of old CAD drawings and the issue that we keep running into is that once some of these drawings are plotted and the drawings is re-saved the paper space layouts are flipping from landscape to portrait ignoring the default plot settings.

So we end up having to go to each paper space tab and individually switch each page back to landscape and then save, after that the drawings is usually good and won't repeat the problem but it's a real hassle as some of these drawings have a few dozen pages.

Is there any way to remedy this from happening or at the very least is there a way to select all the paperspace tabs and switch the page orientaion of all of them in one shot? I'm at my wits end trying to figure out something that to me seems as though it should be much easier, i.e. highlighting all the tabs and changing the settings for the bunch but alas CAD does not allow this.

AutoCad :: How To Change Line From Solid To Hidden Or Dashed Line

Sep 7, 2013

I must be missing something fundamental when trying to change a line from a solid line to a hidden or dashed line in Autocad 2000. I use the ltype command then load either Hidden, or dashed ISO,or both, and invariably the scale is way off in that I always end up with a still solid line, after using modify properties. After all that, every line I draw after that comes out dashed. Maybe I should fool with the layers? Is there a basic procedure I should follow here?

AutoCad :: DWG Hidden (dashed) Line Prints Only As Solid

Mar 27, 2013

In the attached drawing you'll see I am trying to print a wireframe view of a 3D object with hidden lines displayed as dashed...in paperspace with an MVIEW viewport. To achieve this, I created a custom visual style called "3D Wireframe with hidden lines" because AutoCAD Mechanical doesn't come with a view preset that will do that for some reason. Even though the viewport looks perfect in paperspace, and is set to print "as displayed", the drawing prints (and previews) with the dashed line as solid instead.

I know I could use VIEWBASE to create a drawing view with hidden lines set to "visible and hidden", but that doesn't mean I don't want to know why AutoCAD is doing this strange behavior with standard viewports.

AutoCAD LT :: Drag Out Dashed Line From Point Which Can Be Snapped To Another Object

Dec 5, 2012

ACAD LT 2009, Win XP Lately a feature I am used to seeing has quit.Basically when you hover over a point of a line, a little cross mark appears and you can drag out a dashed line from that point which can be snapped to another object. Handy for finding perpendicular intersections. Whatever this is it no longer works. How do I get it back?

AutoCad :: Dashed Line (view Area) Changes On Page Layout

Mar 1, 2011

Why the dashed line (view area) changes on a page layout between plotting to pdf and plotting dwg to pdf? I have a title block that measures 16.25 x 10.25 that will print fine to pdf (for 17x 11). This same block will not print completely when using dwg to pdf.

In creating the page layout for pdf (only)the offset is .125 x .125. Once created, if I use this layout and then choose dwg to pdf as my plotter I do not have the ability to "fit to paper"

In creating the page layout for dwg to pdf the offset is .228 x .70. When bringing in the title block at 0,0 there is no way for this block to fit inside the dashed viewing line. The amount that this block extends beyond the top dashed line is way beyond what is available at the bottom.

AutoCAD LT :: 2012 - Dashed Lines In Model Space Plot As Solid Line

Mar 3, 2013

I have drawn a site plan in model space at 1to1 scale.  I try to draw hidden lines to show demolition.  In paper space the scale is set to 1"=50" to fit on paper.  But all the hidden lines plot solid.  I had changed LTSCALE,  PSLTSCALE,  to 1. This problem keeps happening in most every thing I draw.

I am new to autocad, and just want to know what the dotted line in the paperspace window represents, and if I can move it, adjust it, hide it or delete it? Also, does it show up if I print the sheet?

AutoCad :: Build / Download Linetype That Can Display As Thick Dashed Line Surrounded By 2 Parallel Lines

Dec 4, 2009

Any way to build or download a linetype that can display as a thick dashed line surrounded by 2 parallel lines on either side of it?

We use them to denote underground stormwater pipes in our survey models.

Currently I need to manually set each line to a polyline, give it a global width, and then draw a DLINE of the same width from endpoint to endpoint. The down side is that not only is it laborious, I also have to set the Z values to zero, so we lose the elevation feature of the pipe in the model.

Ideally it would need to have enough functionality to alter the spacing of the dashes, and the width of the line.

GIMP :: Dashed Line Fading Into Distance?

Oct 16, 2013

Imagine you have an image of a landscape, and you want to draw a dashed/dotted border line (such as between two countries) that goes far into the distance. Naturally, the dashes (and the spaces between them) will get smaller. The line probably isn't straight, either.

GIMP :: How To Make Vertical Dashed Line

Jan 16, 2013

I know how to make a solid straight line using the pencil tool. I know I can create a shape with a border using stroke and select area. But...

How do you make a straight vertical dashed (dotted) line?

Something about paths and holding down the shift key, but that doesn't do anything, no line shows and it doesn't like "snap" to a vertical position.

I'm trying to make a dotted line to be line a guide line for cutting when you print the image out on paper. Like the perforated line on a movie ticket or boarding pass.

Ive made some digital bunting in Illustrator using a triangle shape with a dashed line to make scalloped edged bunting. I want to fill the shape with a paper that I made. I used a clipping mask with has worked fine except for it doesnt fill the stroke which means the paper doesnt go into the the scalloped edges and its just a triangle shape.
 
Any work-arounds for this in Illustrator other than taking it into another suite application?

In the art file they received, the capital letters "I" in the art and the horizontal box have become paths with DASHES applied.
