AutoCad :: Modelspace Dimensions In Viewport?

Mar 1, 2011

For some reason, I have 1 drawing that will let me select and modify some dimensions in a Paperspace viewport, but others are nonselectable. I can go to the Model Tab and select any dimensions I want.

If I select the dimension in Model Tab, I can go back to Paperspace Viewport and select that dimension, but now dimensions that were selectable before are nonselectable. unsure:

I am thinking it may be graphics card issue or some sort of limit.

AutoCad :: Visible In Viewport Not In Modelspace?

Jul 18, 2011

I received a drawing this morning, and it's paperspace looks great. However when I tried to view the drawings in modelspace it was empty. All the layers are on, when I click into the viewport (in paperspace) I can draw a line on the same layer as the block and that will show up in modelspace, yet no block.

Is this a feature of CAD, never experienced this before.

P.s. The blocks are available to insert in modelspace , however I'm just curious as to why I can not see the blocks that quite clearly exist in modelspace already.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Moving Paperspace Viewport In Modelspace?

Jul 26, 2012

Is there a way to see and move paperspace viewport boundaries in model space?

Explaining: You have created layout which includes multiple viewports with different scale and size (view, section). Now you copy the layout to create a new layout with with same viewports. Now you have to change the view in all viewports. I have used technique where you double-click in viewport and you navigate in modelspace (pan/zoom) until you reach the right position.

The problem is If you have like 100 layouts with 10 viewports each, it takes very long time to pan the views into right position.

I have a some theories:

1.  If I could see the viewports in modelspace, I could drag them all into right position without navigating them one-by-on in paperspace.

2. If I could pan the view in viewport by specific amount lets say 10m to the right.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Can`t See Dimensions In The Viewport

Dec 5, 2013

Have one problem with dimensions. I can see them on my model, but I cannot see them on the plot! 

Dimensions layer is OK (it is not "no plot" layer, "VP Freeze" is off), especially that this layer contains some other elements that are visible.

AutoCAD LT :: Dimensions Out Of Scale In Viewport

Aug 9, 2013

I have a serious problem with AutoCAD placing improperly scaled dimensions within viewports.  I have a drawing where half of the dimensions are correctly scaled and the other half are off by as much as 4 times their value.  This occurs randomly without any rhyme or reason- and sometimes occurs whenever a drawing is opened.  I know of a couple of drawings that if I simply open them, a dozen dimensions will scale up to 12x their intended value.  It has happened to everyone on my staff.  We are using LT 2011- but I have had a similar problem using 2004 & 2007 full seats.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dimensions In Viewport Out Of Sync

Aug 26, 2010

Why is it that some dimensions in a viewport are out of sync with the rest of the dimensions? Eg. a correct dimension is 240, but the next time you dimension the same distance, you get 24 as a dimension figure?

Also, in a long run of continued dimensions one or two of the dimensions is out of scale? I have tried making all dimension Annotative, same dimstyle, etc.

I think sometimes Autocad forgets that it is in a viewport, so some dimensions are correct to the viewport scale while others are to the limits of the paper size?

AutoCad 2D :: Dimensions In VP Set Scaling To Match Viewport

Jun 23, 2011

Dim style is set to scale dims to match vp but when I layout a dimension it is not correct. I ran the "dimreassociate" command and that fixes it but only on the dim that I fix/selected. What am I missing? This is an existing legacy drawing so there must be some setting that has been changed.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Viewport Hides Model Space Dimensions?

Feb 10, 2012

i am haveing trouble with a viewport that is hiding everything that crosses the rectangular border. The viewport is acting just like a wipeout would. I got this drawing from a client and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I checked to see if there was actually a frame with the viewport but when I select the viewport it only reads as one object.

AutoCad :: Text In Modelspace Set To 625

Apr 26, 2012

Since I'm a little new to this CAD Stuff, I'm having a bit of trouble working out the text size for a viewport.

I've drawn something at a scale of 1:1 in ModelSpace (As per the senior designers instructions) and I've got it zoomed in at a scale of 1:250 in paperspace. According to the text size settings I've been given (they were in place before i joined the company), the text in modelspace should be set to 625; now, when i go into paperspace and print the drawing out, the text looks much too big.

What size should I have the text set to so it doesnt look so big in paperspace??

AutoCad :: Newly Created Viewport Blanks Out Another Viewport

Jan 23, 2013

Problem: When I create a new viewport, another viewport's paperspace blanks out or disappears. When I copy a viewport over, the new VP doesn't show anything and you can't maximize/"enter" its paperspace; it's like a simple rectangle, but the properties box says it is indeed a viewport.

Ex. Viewport 1 shows the top view of an object, Viewport 2 shows the right side view... as soon as I add Viewport 3, the top view in VP 1 blacks out. I attempt to ReDraw, Regenerate, etc, but it doesn't re-appear. I've run Plot Preview to see if maybe it's just a fluke with the graphics card on my screen, but alas, even in plot preview the viewport is blanked out.

It almost seems like there is a limited number of viewports I can use.

Solution: Run the MaxActVP command and set the value to a number greater than the number of VPs you actually need. This particular file had that value set at 2; hence, why a new, third VP blanked out the first one.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserted Hole Dimensions Not Matching Feature Dimensions

Mar 16, 2012

I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.

I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole

Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.

How do I get the 1/4" to show?  I have selected the feature and still get these results.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Cursor Does Not Want To Leave Modelspace

Jun 18, 2013

I am encountering a problem using AutoCAD Civil 3d 2012. When finishing a certain command and going back to the ribbon, my cursor does not want to go out of the modelspace. So i can't click any command in the ribbon, or in any other program outside of AutoCAD. 

Even when pressing escape to stop a command, nothing changes. Using the viewcube solves this problem for one time. But every time I draw a line or even zooming, the problem comes back again.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Getting Dot Near The Edge Of Modelspace When Using Zoom Extents

Jan 8, 2014

When I use Zoom Extents, my map becomes a tiny dot near the edge of model space. This happens will all of my drawings and they are not "zooming" to the same area in model space. One might be a tiny dot hidden in the left corner under the geomarker and the next might be in the upper right corner 1/4" in size.

AutoCad 2D :: Set Linetypescales Correctly In Modelspace / Paperspace?

Aug 29, 2011

My drawings are setup with these settings:

LTSCALE = 1
PSLTSCALE = 1
CELTSCALE = 1

When I draw a line with linetype GAS then it is NON-READABLE in the modelspace, or I have to zoom in very deep. In a viewport, no matter what scale, it is exactly as I want it. Also if the VP is 1:100 or 1:50, the lines look the same in the layouts VP.

The results (what is printed on paper) are good, so that should remain as is.

How should I use / modify these settings (or my way of working) so that the lines are drawn READABLE in modelspace without having to zoom, and that the lines in the viewports (thus on paper) remain readable also.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Fields In Modelspace Not Updating

Nov 21, 2013

I have a project where 60 drawings will be duplicated for each of a dozen sites.  Each site has a four digit prefix (i.e. 800X) that is added to the drawing number, equipment callouts, leaders and various notes throughout the sheets.  Even using Find/Replace, this is a lot of work to revise every time I copy them, so I’m thinking that this is a job for fields, no?

Well, I had no problem making a “global” field called SiteNo and inserting it into the title block.  Then I inserted the same field into a couple of references in the general notes as well, where it works fine.  But when I put it into several leaders sprinkled throughout the drawing I found a problem:  regen or regen all will update the title block and note references (all in paperspace, of course), but not the ones in model space.  I’ve tried putting the field in both mtext and dtext, and I’ve checked to be sure FIELDEVAL is set to 31.  Nothing makes fields in modelspace update.

But I know that the field is set up correctly.  If I doubleclick any modelspace occurance (text or mleader), then right click and choose “update field”, it fills in the right value.  This however negates my goal.  If I have to select each one, I might as well put it in as text and use FIND/REPLACE on each individual drawing.

I was REALLY hoping that I could go to the properties of the sheet set, change one box, and see all occurrences in all drawings for that site update, which is my understanding of the purpose and power of fields.  I've spent a lot of time searching the web, seen a lot of issues and solutions, but nothing that quite hits my problem.

AutoCAD 2010 :: UCS Icon Is Missing In Modelspace?

Jun 20, 2012

The AutoCAD deadline-sensor is working well this week as this Project near completion.

The closer we get to the deadline, the more AutoCAD slows down.

My UCS Icon has disappeared from Modelspace.

It's were it belongs in Paperspace.

The USC Icon is set to "Noorigin" and the color is set to RED for Modelspace.

I need it to orient the many angled spaces we have in this Plan.
