AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert Another Drawing Layout Tabs Contents In Current Drawing
Mar 7, 2013I want to insert another drawing layout tabs contents in current drawing.
It's easy for MODEL tab, but for LAYOUT tabs, I dont know how!?
I prepared a code for INSERTING MODEL tab in current drawing:
(defun INS_DWG (TAB path dwg P / blk)(setq blk (strcat ""*" path dwg """));(setq N (vla-get-count (vla-get-layouts)));;Number of LAYOUT TABS in dwg(if (or(= TAB 0) (= TAB nil))(command "INSERT" blk P 1 0)); TAB=0 or omitted ==>Insert MODEL;(if (= TAB 1));==>Insert the 1st LAYOUT in dwg file;(if (= TAB 2));==>Insert the 2nd LAYOUT in dwg file;and so on....);;;usage:;;(INS_DWG 0 "c:\test\" "test.dwg" '(0 0))
AutoCad :: How To Create PDF Of Drawing From Layout
Feb 12, 2013recently switched from 2007 to 2010. All of my dwgs in 2010 were created in 2007. When trying to create a pdf of any drawing from any layout...adobe has difficulty reading layer/plot style info...it prints everything gray. I've tried pretty much everything and now think it has to do with importing something (maybe plot style?) from my earlier version? I don't know... need getting my plot style to be read properly by adobe.

Mar 15, 2011A client gave us a file in which the drawing in model space has an orientation wherein the N is in positive y-axis. But if I go to layout (viewport), the orientation of the drawing is different, N is 45 deg from the x-axis. How does the orientation of a drawing in layout (viewport) changed without changing the original orientation of the drawing in model space?

Apr 20, 2012I have received a drawing that is only showing in the first layout tab on a contractor's template. The drawing is in a viewport of course. The drawing does not show in the model space.
1. Is it possible to send a drawing only in the Layout tab?
2. Is it possible for me to do something to view the drawing in model space and how is it done?
3. Could it simply be a compatibility issue between the contractor's.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Surfaces In Layout Drawing
Jul 12, 2012I've been doing a layout drawing of a plant
The floor of the plant is split into different faces to denote walkways etc.
When i saw they were missing from the drawing i thought it could be because i haven't 'included surfaces'.
I clicked on include surfaces on the model and it worked!
However, when the green arrow update finishes, they disappear, and the include all surfaces box is unticked! i didn't untick it, so what did?

AutoCad :: Drawing Pipeline Layout And Its Deformation?
Jan 20, 2013I have a 2D pipeline layout. Nodes on the pipe are known by their X and Z coordinates. A FORTRAN written code calculated the nodes displacement in 2 direction of x and z.
I have to draw the nodes, connect them to each other to obtain pipeline layout and then draw the x and z deformations separately to show the deformed shape.
Input format is like
PN x y z
1 0 0 0
2 0 0 10
10 0 0 100
20 10 0 100
40 40 0 100
I though ACAD might be an easy tool to do this. I am trying to use MacLee's or Geobuilder's LISP routine to import the x and z coordinates into CAD.
MAcLee's routine doesn't recognize node numbers at the beginning. So I shifted into Geobuilder's rotine. Still I am trying to use but with no lock till now.
Any easier method for drawing these simple stuff, coordinates and deformation? Is it possible easily in ACAD? My other limitation is that ACAD is the only software I have in my hands.
AutoCad :: Drawing Template Won't Insert In Layout
Apr 3, 2012I am using Autocad 2012, I made a drawing frame template up in model space, then saved it into the DWT template folder, when I go into Layout and into insert to insert the template it will not show up.
I reloaded the DWT template back into model space and saved it as a DXF and I am able to insert the dxf template in Layout using the insert Block.
I can get the job done by using the dxf template but I would like to be able to insert the DWT template.

AutoCad :: Drawing Is Bigger Than Frame - Layout?
Sep 7, 2012I'm working on a siteplan. It's drawn in 1:1 and shall in A1 print to 1:750. Now, when I want to plot and go to layout, the drawing is way bigger than the frame. I have in paper space set up my 'page set up' as to paper - A3, print - layout, 1 mm- 1 unit and have the viewport scale set to 1:1500. Why is the drawing still outside the frame?? How do I get the right size?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Use Layout To Print - Scaling Drawing
May 25, 2011Scale in Layout. I drew my drawing in mm , and I want to use Layout to print it like I saw in a video, but how do I scale my drawing? For example, the counter and shelf I drew is 1:1 in the Model workspace(1600 by 2000mm) but in Layout, for printing on to an A3 sized paper how do I get it to print in 1:40 or something of that sort?
Right now I'm printing by using Fit To Paper with the dimensions included, but I notice our contractors are using 1:30, 1:40 etc. , my boss doesn't mind since I include the dimensions but I reckon it might cause problems in the future.
And is it possible to just select anything in my selection window, even 3/4 of a line? Because right now, I can only select the whole line no matter what, I only want 1/2 of it because I want to cut the whole drawing in half and move it apart.
By the way, is it possible to customize the panel? Instead of switching between tabs constantly, can I make my own panel? I googled this and tried using CUI but it is confusing. I just want certain sections grouped into 1 bar. Like... Draw/Modify/Attach/Windows all on the first panel.
I really want to be able to type in certain commands without hitting Enter, is that possible? If I hit M, it will move the object without me hitting Enter. Can that be done? Maybe not M, maybe Alt+1 to move, Alt+2 to Scale etc. etc.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Annotating Drawing In Layout Space?
Jun 5, 2013I just recently started using AutoCAD again after using Inventor for several months, and I'm having a very difficult time with annotations. I'd like to annotate the proper way, and I believe that's from withing layout space. I have several small weld details that simply need to be laid out on this drawing. They're all drawn to 1:1 scale, and I'd like to use Viewports to scale them up or down as appropriate.
How to properly annotate dimensions, text, and weld details such that they will all appear of uniform size among all details, but will be associative with respect to the geometry of each detail? This is quite simple in Inventor simply because of how it's designed to work, but AutoCAD works very differently and I'm very unfamiliar with how to work with text styles and dimstyles and weld-symbol styles in this manner. I can't get my annotation styles to work right.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Created A Viewport on A Drawing Within A Layout Tab
Mar 16, 2012I have created a viewport on a drawing within a layout tab. When I go into paper space the available scale options are in metric units e.g. 1:500. When selecting the scale that I require that should allow the drawing detail to fit within the viewport it is too large even when the smallest scale available (1:5000) should easily be adequate for the detail to fit within the viewport. The detail within model space has been drawn in millimetres.
I guess that some defaults, scaling options are conflicting with each other.

I can not have anything added to my model, since later on I will be using this drawing as a xref and I only want the main model to be carried over and not a section detail.
AutoCad :: Print Or PDF Drawing In (8.5x11) Layout View?
Apr 5, 2012My issue is this: While trying to print or pdf a drawing in (lets say 8.5x11) layout view, the edges get cut off. It looks as though the template I copied is too large to be printed in full. If this were the case, wouldn't it be the same even if I tried printing in extents? It still does the same thing printing in extents.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Centering Drawing (view Port) In Layout
Mar 28, 2013Centering the drawing (or viewport) in the lay out, I’m not sure about the best practice to center my drawing in the lay out so that it will be centered as it sis printed from the lay out
This issue is already discussed in the link below
[URL].......
The size of the A4 is 29.7x21The size of by title block is 27x19Then I have like 1 cm margin from top, 1cm and bottom, 1.35 cm from left and 1.35 from rightI managed to have the view port / drawing centered on the A4 layout by setting the “plot offset” to be: X=13.5 and Y=10 using the printer “dwg to pdf.pc3”
It looks fine in the printed pdf, but when it is printed using printer “HP LaserJet P2050 Series PCL6”, the drawing is not centered on the hard copy A4 paper (attached)
What might be the issue here? Is the approach that I used to center the drawing in the layout is efficient? Why the drawing is centered correctly on the pdf but incorrectly centered in the printed A4 paper?
