In paper space I have a rectangular viewport showing a floorplan. I have placed another smaller viewport over the larger vp in order to show a scaled-up detail of the floorplan. However I can still see the image from the larger vp below ( as well as the smaller vp's contents ), Is it possible to lay one vp over another, blocking out the image from the vp below?

Selection of overlapping viewports,I go two overlapping viewports.The issue here that I couldn't access the model space of the small viewport. Double clicking it will access the model space of the big viewport.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen it comes to viewports in paperspace in 2013, due to the nature of my work i have several layout drawings all drawn on top of each other and all with ther own txt and dims etc, which again is all on top of each other making it impossible to work in model space, for this reason i work in paperspace within a viewport but now i have upgraded to 2013 while i am in mid command e.g. dimension and zoom into first point then zoom back out and in again to second point, by this time i have been kicked out of the viewport and just in paperspace so cant complete the command, doesnt always happen?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm cleaning up some CAD files i was given. in model space everything's on one layer and there's a lot of stuff that overlaps/sits on top of each other.
there are like 50 associated paper space sheets.
is there a way for me to drag these objects out without affecting the viewports in paperspace?
i could probably start putting everything on layers and turning them off, but i generally like to be able to lay everything out so i can see it all at the same time.
Switching between paper/model modes in case of overlapping viewports,I got 4 viewports (screenshot is attached)
My issue here is that I couldn’t switch between the paper/model modes for the inside viewports! This can be done only for the “biggest” viewport (that bounds the other viewports)
Then how can I switch between the paper/model modes for viewport number 2, for example?Right clicking a particular viewport (attached) doesn’t give option to do so!
A few times out of each day when I plot all of my viewports will be moved of the printable area into the gray area below in paperspace.
I cannot figure this out as I have used a few different profiles from different machines and still have the same issue.
In modelspace, architectural schematic plans sections elevations which, when viewported into paperspace drawings, are scaled to 1:100. I therefore work in modelspace with Current object scale = 1, global scale factor = 100. This makes dashed lines etc reproduce at legible scale in a drawing at 1:100.
What about when I move on to details, which in paperspace are scaled to 1:5? At present I start a new file with Current object scale = 1, global scale factor = 5. This makes dashed lines etc reproduce at legible scale in a drawing at 1:5.
Isn't there a way to achieve this, while keeping both the schematic and the detail drawings in modelspace on the same, single file?
Even the above system fails when I want to scale one elevation of the schematics at 1:50, or foundation details at 1:10.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just installed 2012 and have drawn a 3d model. In paperspace i have a couple of viewports , all nicely set out at 1:5 scale. then i click in another viewport and bam, all the other viewports change scale (zoom out) and orientation. is there some system variable that i have overlooked?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of sheet DWGs with a single layout in each. The layouts have several viewports into model space.
Is there a way to export out the layout tab where the viewport contents have been converted and placed into the layout space?
Ideally, I'm hoping to basically convert the viewport heavy paperspace into a dumb model space layout.
The code I'm using is supposed to go through all of the layouts and freeze the specified layer in the single viewport that is defined on that layout. It works for some viewports, but not for others. A "List" of the objects show the viewports are the same. I have a LiSP routine that gets me more info about selected objects. The first is a viewport that does not freeze the specified layer, the second does freeze the layer. Here is the code I'm using:
Public Sub FreezeNewLayerInVPs(ByVal pageNumber) Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocumentDim db As Database = doc.Database Dim layerToFreeze As String = "DETAIL_" & pageNumber Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager. Start Transaction( )Dim layTable As LayerTable = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(db.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead),

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm plotting a drawing in which I have land parcels provided in the form of a connected ArcGIS shp file. The parcels are closed polygon features. I'd like to plot the parcels as phantom linetype. The problem is where neighboring parcels have common boundaries, Autocad Map does not filter out the overlapping boundary segments for the purpose of plotting.
As a result, the linetype becomes a mixture of phantom and solid lines and everything in between. I've tryed using plotstyles as well as styling the polygons. I don't think plot styles work with map features. The styling works when the lines do not overlap. Exploding the polygons and removing duplicate segments is not a realistic solution when working with data that is shared by true GIS programs like ArcGIS. I've seen some old postings that indicate this has been a problem for years.
is possible to analyse the chain to see if is overlapping ?

I'm trying to hatch multiple objects in one go, most of which overlap with eachother in places. When I do this, the overlapping areas don't get hatched. I've tried selecting different options for island detection, but this doesn't seem to work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedToday i had to use hatch a lot, the mission was to hatch extended and and walls that not with different hatch types.
the first thing that came up is to use wipeuot under the hatch, but its lots of work and time waste (wipeout objects never been plot-friendly).
what do you do when you have to hatch overlapping objects.
During the process of drafting many lines overlap (e.g. construction lines, objects merging, etc)
Because the overlapping lines have precisely the same properties, I don't feel the need to remove them.
The issue begins when I go to plot. The overlapping lines do appear darker than lines without overlapping. This occurs a great deal in my work!
Is there a function that will merge/flatten these lines so that no more overlapping lines exist?
In a drawing file customer wants to create 2 title block. both the title blocks should be added to the same drawing. At any point of time only one should be visible to the user. Basically users in one country will see first title block and users in another country will see second title block.

View 9 Replies View Related9 times our of 10, I can't trim away the overlap on a pair of circles.. as every now and then the trim suddenly decides it will work!
Trim_Issue.jpg
I just can't work out why these pesky circles refuse to trim! I'm trying to merge them into one 'cloud' like shape, by removing the overlapping section from each circle.
I assume it's just my autocad display but I can never tell if lines and are drawn correctly or not. I'll draw construction lines and circles and grip edit my linework to snap to the end points and arc midpoints perpindicular to the circle but there are still overlapping displays. In the attached image I've snapped to arc points to the circle and the edges of the hatch to the extension/intersection of them and this is how it still displays.
Yes, I am constantly regenning and my arc smoothness is set to 10000.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working through a tutorial on [URL] drawing and attempting to hatch the second Extra Practice assignment at the bottom of that page: [URL] I've drawn it from a closed polyline with a circle overlapping it but I'm not sure how to assign different hatches to each of the six sections as shown in the second link above. I've tried opening the hatch dialog, selecting the polyline and choosing points, but I can't get there. I exploded the polyline into lines and tried selecting points again, but no good. I tried selecting the entire (unexploded) polyline, but I can't assign individual different hatches to each section - I just get the usual all/in-out, etc. behavior. I assume I could manually construct entities to match each section, but that gives me the same bad vibes as using goto when programming. Just doesn't seem right.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm currently drawing renovation plans, sections and elevations, and i have a prexisting set of drawings, a after renovation set of drawings and would like to achieve the intersecting of this two sets with objects/lines in yellow for whats going to be demolished and red for whats being built and white for whats to remain untouched.
I started by setting a yellow color for the first set and red for the second set. And worked my way to the excrutianting task of breaking and setting this two sets of 2d drawings.
Is there a command or routine that allows me to break a line were two diferent lines overlap in the drawing. I was wandering if i could do that i then would only have to overkill the entire drawing..

I have an assembly with various parts in it. I am trying to write a routine that will
1) systematically traverse the assembly and find parts that overlap,
2) where they overlap perform a sculpt operation on the parts
Whilst i can do this manually by edit>copy object>sculpt>select surface ... i don't know how to mimic this programmatically.
So far i have coded to do it in a very hamfisted way by making a derived part file from the overlapping parts, opening the derived part file and performing the sculpt, replacing the original part in the assembly with its new derived-sculpted part and then continuing to traverse the assembly tree.. - it is super slow and uses lots of file operations.
