AutoCad :: Adding Notes / Text And Dims To Viewport In Left View
May 10, 2011
What I am attempting to do is: add text, some dims., and some info. to a viewport i have added to a drawing for my field guys. I am a sheet metal worker and have produced a drawing of duct work. one viewport is a plan view, one is a swiso, and another is a left-elevation view. everything is good except the left-elevation view which I would like to add details to. I am assuming I need to change the ucs so that i can place lines, dims and text and get them to show up without them snapping to 0 z.

Whenever I put the object setting to "realistic," the whole viewport screen dims down until its almost pitch black. It returns to its normal brightness only when you zoom in or out, pan around the view, or when an object in the viewport is modified. I've attached two images along with the post, showing how the viewport appears before and after it dims down.
I'm wondering whether this an actual intended feature of 3DS Max, or if it's a problem.

Is it possible to add notes for each hole in a hole table?
I want to add for each hole in a hole table its true position value that I decided (instead of creating feature control frame for each hole).

I just recently found out about the "Adding Notes" feature in CS5. I was able to add notes. However, when I saved the photo as a jpeg, and then re-opened it -the notes were not there.
Am I doing something wrong or will notes only re-appear when the photo file is saved to a psd or tif?

I know it is a simple thing but for the life of me I cannot make it work. I must of hit a button and messed it up.
Annotative dims and text. I have multiple view ports ranging from 1/8 to 1-1/2 inch scale in one paper space. I have noted items (in model) and need them to appear in the different scaled VP's. However, too much is showing up. All scales in all vp's are active, not just the scale of the vp.

I've set up a load of dim styles for varying scales i.e 1:1 through to 1:50.Now the text height is set to 2.5 on 1:1. However when I have changed a dimension string to the dimstyle the text changes to 0.625!?
But if I draw a dim from scratch it's correct.The dimensions are not annotative. When I open properties bar the text height is stated at the desired 2.5 but when I double click to edit text it says 0.625.
Now I can't be bothered to go through my drawings and double click to edit the text hieght or redraw all my dims I just want to 'matchprop', but it's matching!

I'm using a VLISP program to generate some drawings. That is to say that absolutely no "user input" is allowed from the moment the first line goes in until it saves the file with a new name under a different directory. The process does open up a template where we have dimstyles and text styles already defined. But none of them are annotative.
In an effort to make this process more up-to-date, I'm attempting to change all the text and dimension styles to be annotative.
There are three layout tabs in this drawing file. One for 11x17 with a viewport set at 1:16 scale, one 17x22 with a viewport set at 1" = 1'-0" scale and one 24x36 with a viewport set at 1:8 scale. I need all the objects in model space to show up in each viewport with the text and dimensions using the annotative feature so the will all have the same size text height of 1/8".
As I experiment with this, I find that I can set the Annoscale for the model at say 1:16. Then all the annotative dimensions and text created by the VLISP code have that annotative scale built-in by default. What I need is for them to also have the other two annotative scales attached to them so they will show up in all the viewports, not just the first one on the 11x17 tab which is set a 1:16 scale. Of course I can manually add these annoscales to the text and dimensions, but then that totally defeats the purpose of the automated drawing process.
I've toyed around with AnnoAutoScale but that again is a manual process and it only add the annoscales when I change the model space annoscale. I guess that perhaps after everything is drawn I could go a have the VLISP code CANNOSCALE the model space two more times for the other two annoscales. My thinking is that would automatically add the annoscales to all annotative objects in the model and thus they would then appear in the viewports.

I need to mix left to right and right to left (hebrew) text in a textbox. How can I do that? If I copy/paste hebrew text the text is inserted as if it was left to right, that is: reversed. Can I somehow work around that?

For some reason I have it in my head that you can put all of your text and dims on in model space, then when scaling your viewports the dims and text will re-size its self automatically for that viewport setting. I.e text will be 25 in model space, but in vieports it will plot at 10 or 2 depending on the viewport setting.

i have a template, created a viewport and fit the model view in the layout space. However, when i scale the template... the viewport model doesn't follows the layout scale. Is there any ways to fit it so that when i scale the template i don't have to set the view again.

Let’s say you have a large building plan in model space but there is only one small area of the building that the view port is looking at. Is there a way that you can draw around that viewport and then take that into model space and paste it in the same place so now you have the same area located in both views?
At the moment I need to try and work out where the view is by drawing a rectangle around the correct area of the building and this is time consuming.
I could then trim/delete everything else outside that box.

Is there a way to associate a text string to a drawing view so when the view is moved
around the text goes with it and remains placed in accordance with the view?

I have received details that have been blocked that I need to edit. When I expode or burst them, the dims text and arrows grow larger than is required for the block and I cannot find any adjustment in the properties to bring them back to the correct size for the detail. Also the leaders lose their point and association with their text and become just a line.
Is there a command that will allow me to edit the block without loosing the current sizing and associations?

I am using AutoCAD LT 2011. I am totally invested into annotative text, dimensions, etc. I specify the text size for paper space and AutoCAD adjusts the size according to the scale set for a viewport.
When I am adding annotation to a viewport, if i choose multitext, i can specify the text height as if it will be in paper space. In other words, even though i am INSIDE the viewport, I cah type 1/8" in the text size and the text is scaled appropriately. HOWEVER, when I create leaders with multi-text, that text size has to be typed in the old way. In other words, if my viewport is set to 1/2" and i want 3/32" high text, I have to type in 2-1/4". That's old school! What's going on with multileaders and the multitext as part it.

I'd like to create sheet notes with different line spacing and paragraph spacing in ACA 2013. When I change before/after Paragraph spacing settings in the Text Formatting window, I get a message reading "please provide a value within range of 1/4" and 4". I'd like to use 1/8" for the paragrpah spacing, which is the same size as the text.

even in an empty scene my framerate in the quad viewport is about 7, 8 but in single view its 30-40..
I'm a little unsure if it was low like that before and I just realized now or sth. has changed. (Guess it has not been so slow as its really annoying) Using latest NVidia drivers and a 3DConnexion Navigator with 3DS Max 2013.

I have a problem with one specific drawing where I have created a right viewport; however, if I double click in the port to enter model space, the viewport automatically changes to a top view. If the viewport is locked, no change to the view. This problem only exhibits itself in one drawing so it must be some setting that is drawing specific.

I have code that has the user select a viewport. I then need to set the selected viewport to an existing view, but I cannot find any exampes of this.
I have the viewport, but how do I get the ViewPortTable/ViewPortTableRecord from it?
Do I need to set the view in the ViewPortTableRecord od the ViewTableRecord?
No problems to this point...
'Code snipIf acPrmpt_res.Status = PromptStatus.OK Then
Dim acVPort As Viewport = Nothing
Dim acViewTbl As ViewTable
Dim acViewTblrec As ViewTableRecord
[Code] ........

When I use the SSM and use the "Place on Sheet" command to create the Viewport from the MS View DWG file, it comes in only as a rectangular Viewport. I tried to see if there's a way to draw a Polyline and select it as a MS View but I don't think that's possible.
Any way to do this without breaking the link between the View DWG and the Sheet DWG?

How do you clean up areas where the section view is outside the viewport limits. C3d should have moved the top section to the next sheet becuase it didn't fit. How do you tell it this? An automatic toggle somewhere?

We have a number of drawings, where the views in paperspace viewports are not orthogonal to the XY plane. Is there any way that we can adjust the viewport view to a TOP view (a view aligned to the XY plane) without changing the viewport scale?
If I activate the viewport and use either PLAN or View->TOP my viewport scale is destroyed, and the view is rotated along the Z-axis.

I've struggled with the old issue of shifting images in rotated viewports. We use georeferenced aerial photography by way of these images inserted into their own drawing and then Xreffed into another drawing for printing. The issue is, the image appears shifted in some viewports. Most of the time it prints fine but not always. I searched the discussion groups and found a post a few years ago that a reply user stumbled across a quasi workaround. When the view command's Perspective is turned on and then off within the viewport, the image appears to be locked in it's correct position, not shifted. I have successfully used this procedure several times over the years until now. I have half a dozen drawings that when I turn the Perspective on and then off in a viewport, the image will not display. The xref is loaded and the layer is turned on in the viewport but the image doesn't show. What is the perspective portion of the view command within a viewport?

Just switforeveched to AutoCAD 2013 from 2011. I kept the classic interface as I did since forever. This is the problem I am having now. After I created a viewport in a layout, I right click on the viewport border fully expecting a menu to come up so I can set the type to be 2d hidden. But nothing like that occurs. The help menu came up. How do I get the viewport menu to set the view type?

I have a site survey that I am having rotation issues with.
In the model space the drawing is rotated so when I draw a vertical line it points up (which is what I am used to). However in the paper space, the drawing is automatically rotated so that north is now pointing up, and if I attempt to draw a normal vertical line as i did in the model space the line now points NE.
How can I rotate the view of the viewport in paper space so that my lines as vertical and horizontal. This would not be such an issue if it was just a plan, but I have drawn sections that just look ridiculous.
