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.

I 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))

I've created a set of templates, A3, A2, A1 A0 etc.
When I open the .dwt at A0 it is fine, the correct dimensions for A0, everything is how it should be.
Now, when I'm in a drawing and go on the tabs, right click, "From Template", select the A0 template and it opens a new tab as normal.
However, the paper size is correct, A0. But the actual frame with the attributes is very small in the cornet, about 25 times smaller, so I'm thinking units, mm to inches, but all the INSUNITS are set to 6.

I am trying to insert OS Tiles into a drawing using the insert x-ref command. I have managed to insert 192 tiles but still need to add 29 more tiles to complete. When I try to insert another x reference AutoCAD just goes into a continual loop. Have to force AutoCAD to crash after ten minutes.
I am using AutoCAD 2014 MAP and have just had a new system built (i5 processor, 8GB RAM).

I have a small project that I'm working on that inserts a new layout based on a user selected template size (A, B, C or D sizes). I need the program to insert the layout along with the titleblock geometry from the existing A, B, C, or D dwt files.
I know how to add a new blank layout. However, I'm having some trouble determing how to insert the titleblock geomtry. I've read a number of posts on here related to layouts, and while they were informative, none of them covered exactly what I need to do.

I'm having difficulties every now and then importing a template 'Layout' 'first image'..Most of the time it's fine, and imports no worries as in the 'second image'
Why they are different, I have check Page Setup Manager, and I can't identify any differences.I'm using the Design Manager to Import the Layout (in both instances).
IMAGE 1 - PROBLEM IMPORTING TEPMLATE LAYOUT...The actual 'page' you can see in the bottom left corner, the 'block' has been scaled like 20-fold, Wierd!?!
IMAGE 2 - LAYOUT HAS BEEN IMPORTED CORRECTLY.

I have an old drawing where I am inserting layout from the template. The problem is that the template is off from the white sheet of paper. My templates are .dwt files and usually work fine.

I need to make a Template.idw file with my company logo. and i did that by using insert image options. Then i saved it as template file and when i try to use that tempate file for new drawing, it shows a message that the reference file path is not the part of active project. So there is any option availabe like copy image and paste in template in place of insert image with link option?

I am currently drawing my plans and realised the template: "Tutorial-mArch.dwt" is an A1 Paper Size.
I can only print A4 pages so when I compressed it to a A4, the layout of title box simply goes out of scale.
How do I scale those? If you do not mind me asking more, how do I make my title box (name scale on my own?

When I import a layout from template it takes about 5-10 min of ACA not responding before it will actually import the layout from my template file. It will do this on any new file the first time and then it will work just fine after that. This was happening with ACA 2013 and now with 2014.

So everytime I import a layout from my template, the scale comes out wrong. The border is way too big, viewport, and the stamp is also way to big. It's being scaled by approximately by 12.28 times.
Here's what I can share:
- both drawings are in inches in both files
- all that 'insunits' stuff is set to zero in both files
- 'measurement' and 'measureinit' is set to zero in both files
- using AutoCAD 2012
- xyz scale is all at 1.00
- the titleblock itself almost imports correctly, only some of my att text doesn't come out properly as well.
As far as i can tell it's the command 'from template' issue. Because when i cut and paste the templates layout contents, it comes out fine.

I have previously drawn my title block in Model space but i now know the correct way is to draw it in the layout.
Is there anyway of transporting the title block template into the layout and then saving that as a template for my future drawings?
Or do I need to go back to the beginning and draw the title block again from scratch in the layout and then save that drawing as a template for future use?

In the title block of a my layout template I have tables inserted for revisions, drawing type, numbering etc. I have type already inserted in those blocks that I typically click on and then type in what I need it to say. My template works on all my other drawings except a particular one that I am currently working on.
When I click on the type, it automatically increases from 3/16" to 8" and enlarges the box to accommodate the new font size.
I've attached a screen. The top is before I click on the word "type" in the lower right corner and the bottom one is afterward.

When I manually add a new layout from a template, I do NOT get any extra layers, but when I use VB to do the same thing, I get extra layers.
In the original drawing, I have layers called "SHEET", "TEXT", and "VIEWPORT" (among other layers).
In the template where I get my new layout, I also have the same layer names ("SHEET", "TEXT", and "VIEWPORT").
After the new layout gets read in, I now have extra layers called "$0$SHEET", "$0$TEXT", and "$0$VIEWPORT". Why does this happen using VB, but not when I do it manually? Is there anything I can do to the code to change this? I understand the layer names are the same, but they're the same whether I do it manually or by code.
Public Function importLayout(ByVal templateFileName As String, ByVal templateLayoutName As String) As ObjectId Dim idLayout As ObjectId = ObjectId.Null Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim ed As Editor = doc.Editor Dim oLock As DocumentLock = doc.LockDocument() Dim
[Code]....

I had inserted a block on my model page. I then wanted to insert it on my layout page where I wanted to have a legend. The block never showed up on the layout page and now it is not on my model page. When I attempt to insert it anywhere else now, the block does not show up in the preview window of the insert popup, nor on the drawing.

I have created an iLogic panel which allows me to control my revision a lot easier and puts my entered data into the parameters of the sheet itself, is there a way to have this show up on the drawing itself for a template?

I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.

Any way to use iLogic to create custom iProperties from the cells in an Excel spreadsheet (both text and numbers) for a .dwg template. The only thing even close has been a user who already knew how to do it and was having a different problem. I am using Inventor 2012 and Excel 2003 and have very little experience with VB. I currently have a family of assemblies, consisting of two parts linked to an Excel spreadsheet to control the various parameters for each variation of the assembly.
I need creating an iLogic rule that will:
Go to a specific tab (I have four different tabs/worksheets) in an Excel spreadsheet.
Make a specfic row of that worksheet the current row based on the part number used to generate the models of the assembly shown in a .dwg.
Use the contents of a cell in that row (text or numeric or a combination of both) to generate a custom iProperty for the .dwg template.
Use the custom iProperties to fill in the title block of the template.

I was able to turn the background to white. However I am still trying to figure out how to insert my image into this template so I can then have photoshop manage the color and print it with my Epson 3800 printer. When I click on the template it says could not complete your request because more than one layer is selected. This what Avery sent in the download. Do I have to do this in layers? I just want to insert the photo and print my images on the postcard templates I bought from Avery.

I am wondering if there is a way to insert a template that I have created into a project that already exists. I have created a template for the company I work for and we already have all of our plans for our homes drawn up. So I either have to redraw these homes starting with the new template or if it is possible load in a template.

Using Photoshop CS6, I am trying to insert two same size images into a predesigned template. I can insert the first image just fine. However,when I try to add the second image below the first one, the template rejects the second image and just leaves a blank space.
