AutoCad :: Drawing Is Bigger Than Frame - Layout?

Sep 7, 2012

I'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?

AutoCad :: Plot In PDF A Drawing Bigger Than A0 Page

Sep 20, 2012

I have been using until saturday Windows Vista and Autocad 2008, with out any problem, at least that windows vista was slowly.

So I decide to upgrade my notebook and I add windows 7 - 64 bit and change my autocad to a 2010 version for this windows 7 as well.

The acrobat is the 8 version.

The problem is the following:

I was able to work normally with this soft, but when I need to plot in PDF a drawing bigger than A0 page, it does not plot. If I add an A0 it works fine. Then I went to properties, change the page to a PostScript, and change paper size to 2100 mm in height and width, but anyway It still dont work.

Is there anything I must set before ploting a bigger size page, with the new Autocad 2010 or with windows 7??

AutoCAD Map 3D :: How To generate A Whole Lot Of Smaller Drawings From A Bigger Drawing

Feb 9, 2011

I've been trying to work out how to generate a whole lot of smaller drawings from a bigger drawing, automatically through Scripting and Lisp programming. Each of these smaller drawings would be based on a rough 20 metre buffer of the property boundaries inside it. Each drawing created would preferably be the expression of the House number + Street name, which are in each property boundary parcel as object data. What I have been doing in the past is attaching and querying the required drawing one by one but this takes a while and we are about to get a whole shed load more to be done.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Make Dimension Get Bigger And Smaller As Scale Drawing?

Mar 20, 2012

How to make the dimension get bigger and smaller as we “scale” the drawing?

For example, the drawing in the screenshot below is scaled by 0.5 but that didn’t affect the “size” of the dimension (height of the text, extension lines, …).

Is there a way to get the dimension line affected as we scale the drawing such that the “dimension text” and the “extension line” are increased/ decreased with the scale factor?

AutoCad :: How To Create PDF Of Drawing From Layout

Feb 12, 2013

recently 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.

AutoCAD LT :: Orientation Of Drawing In Layout

Mar 15, 2011

A 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?

AutoCAD LT :: Drawing In Layout Not In Model Space

Apr 20, 2012

I 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, 2012

I'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, 2013

I 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, 2012

I 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 :: Use Layout To Print - Scaling Drawing

May 25, 2011

Scale 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 Inventor :: Drawing Of Frame Generator Model

Nov 8, 2012

Inventor Pro 2012

After creating the desired frame using frame generator, I am creating a detail drawing. When I insert the parts list, the info applied is using the full length of the tubes before it was cut to fit. (to get rid of the over lap edges of the frame)

Attached is the part file used to create the frame. (Can't attached the frame, too big) I used

Also attached is the drawing to clarify the issue.

Total length of the frame is 116.75"

In reality is it made up of 2 short end pieces 23.375" +   2 x for pocket tubes (10") plus the center tube  50"

23.375+23.375+10+10+50=116.75"

Now from my part file, i just made 3 lines for the total length and 2 intersecting lines for the fork pockets. The parts list is using the initial creation length and not the altered cut length? Does this make any sense?

How can I get the parts list to represent values after a cut is done to the tube?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Annotating Drawing In Layout Space?

Jun 5, 2013

I 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, 2012

I 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.

And i print from this file. (only in this way succeed to print collating multiple copies). But if the project changes, I could start all over again. Is there a solution to publish an combining the sheets to print immediately?

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Show Set Of Particular Layers (of Same Drawing) In Each Layout

How to show a set of particular layers in each layout?
 
I’m wondering if there is a way to turn off particular layers in a layout without affecting other layouts.
 
For example, in the screenshots below, if I need to show only “1_walls” layer in the layout “p_04” but to keep all other layers turned on in other lay outs, then how can perform this?
