View 9 RepliesI have problem in one outside drawing in my office. in layout there are many viewport but viewport border line not appear.
I make all layer ON and unfreeze and unlock also viewport border not shown. Is there any option.
I need to draw a simple medium size line border around a block of text and photo to set apart from the rest of the page.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have for a while been wanting some code that would run through all the layouts in a drawing and place a box in model space of where the viewports are looking and save a view and layerstate at the same time. I looked into doing it with .net and posted a query here but it all started to get a bit hard in .net.
So I did a bit more googling and found a lsp solution that get most of the way over on the swap here
It cycles thru the viewports and placed the box in model space to save the view and layer state I have to inject some more code into the rountine along the lines of
;; While we are here lets save a view with a layersnapshot
;;(command "_.View" "Save" "Nameoflayout" "_.View" "E" "l" "Nameoflayout" "s" "" "")
;; and as we can not access a view layersnapshot from layerstate manager lets save just a plain layerstate
;;(command " Layerstate" "????" "Nameoflayout" ?????)
to save the views and layerstates.
Some code / lsp that will cycle thru layouts and insert a rectangle into model space of where the viewports are actually looking.
I am trying to separate out a number of layouts to different drawings and want to speed up the process.
I am attempting to draw a cable tray layout in Autocad 2010. I am very much new to Autocad.
Basically, i want to draw a cable tray on pedestals which are arranged in a rectangular area. Now, I can draw bends so that the tray stay on pedestals but my question is how to draw the tray that is equidistant from both the corners of the pedestal? There are 6 pedestals arranged in a rectangular manner. All the pedestals are of equal length and width.
We have some heavy drawings with many layouts. Each layout contains multiple viewports. It takes up to 10-15 minutes to switch layout. When we insert a new xref we would like it to appear in all viewports except one. This applies to all layouts.

how to delete the viewport border as shown above figure..
I am trying to make a button such that if the user clicks it, AutoCAD will automatically draw a border that just includes all entities in the drawing.(Something) like the viewport border in the paper space)
Approach #1: The first approach could be zoom extent and draw a border around the zoomed view. how to zoom extent and draw a polyline, but can't figure out the exact size of zoomed view.
Approach #2 (optimal) : If the entity is a right circle and my AutoCAD window is not in square shape (for example, the AutoCAD window is maximized and my monitor is wide-screen monitor), Approach #1 will create redundant spaces at the right and left side of the circle entity. So if I could get the grid coordinate of far left, far right, top, and bottom entities, I can draw the optimal border around all entities in the drawing.
How to make the process of manually drawing a boundary around a topo so that you can add it as a boundary in a C3D surface? Sometimes the topo's we recieve already has a boundary in it, but often, there is not. So we have to manually draw a polyline around the whole extent of the topo, which can take a long time.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi have a bunch of sheets set up, and you can see a white rectangle with a shadow that i guess represents my page, and then in this page there's a dashed rectangle that i'm guessing has something to do with margins or something. i would like to turn this dashed rectangle off, if possible.
secondly, my sheets are set up for 11x17.. i was given a title block drawing to use. the title block was drawn in modelspace at 11x17. i copied it into the sheet and it seems to be the right size. there's an 11x17 rectangle that the titleblock sits in, and i'd like to line this up with the actual page (to make sure the titleblock is in the right spot).. however i can't seem to snap to the corners of the white page with the shadow.
I have a problem with a recently downloaded version of Inventor. When I start a new drawing all I get is a blank blue screen instead of one with a grid display. If I start a line I can see the cursor change to draw the line but a line does not appear. I don't know if it something with how I installed the program or just system settings.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a series of drawings that are currently in modelspace. What I have to do is
1) Insert a new border in paperspace.
2) create a viewport and place the view in modelspace into it.
I am trying to use the command -vports but get an SPPROCESSQUEUE error wghen I use lists such as this:
(command -vports (list 0.625 23.59375) "" (list 35.4375 2.625) "")
How can I draw a straight line without that protractor shaped dotted line following my cursor making it lag and also not snap correctly to the next line? Also, I have noticed that I can't set my user interface to auto cad classic settings. There seems to be no option for it in workspace settings.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI don’t know if there is some way to draw, or somehow to say to AutoCad that it let me to input measurements from line but not from main base pint.
For example in Revit I can make angular dimension between lines and then apply any angle that I want, maybe AutoCad has such tool?
I was drawing a lot of lines with the pointer that stuck at the end of the line and after that it stuck at the beginning of the other line (i hope you understand what i mean). I don't know what i pressed but now this function is not active and is very difficult to draw the lines.

I use CS5 and have now a small arrow on my line segment tool (as shown in the picutres):
Ever since that when i click shift, it just allows me to draw vertical lines, rather than vertical or horizontal.
when I (try to ) use Pencil and Brush tools, (cross-hatching), some lines get erased/replaced by the lines drawn close to them. It must have something to do with the preferences, but I am not sure what to change/adjust.
View 2 Replies View Related1. if i draw a line using the line tool.. can i curve it to say 40 degrees like i can with the text function?
2. So ya that one was easy.. hows bout when i want to cut something out ACCURATELY, the pen function, right? (according to a friend)when i make all those little boxes and select the area i want to cut, all that gets copied are the outer lines, which i presume is what ive just drawn.. how do i cut the area inside this?
3. and finally maybe a slightly less easy one- In Paint, when you cut out an object and paste it, you can select for the white of the image to become transparent so you can paste over what you have already.. is thee a feature in PS for this?
is there a function to add a continuous line border around a mtext box? currently i have simply been drawing a rectangle around the text, but this seems clunky.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTrying to create an insulation batting line (15 centimeters wide), in the model it looks okay (actually it goes a tiny little bit beyond the borders, but it is good enough for me at this stage). In the viewports however it is much wider (I would say, it is 10-15 times wider than expected).
My setup:
LTSCALE - 1.0
CELTSCALE - 1.0
MSLTSCALE - 1.0
I have received a drg that when you look at the viewport in layout, all the line colors have changed to white, but in model space they are their designated colors by layer.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen i have a detail view on the layout, the text and the border line have the same line thickness. I want that the text will be bold (0.5mm thick) and the border line will be thicker (0.13mm thick).
i have tried to change the layer's line thickness, but it effected both the text and the line border. how can i separate between them?
At the top of the clock, how do you draw the curved lines, which say radius of 4.

In model space I draw a line with a particular linetype, say a fence row, and I adjust the linetype scale so that it reads like I want it, but then when I go to paper space, it's just a plain line no matter what I set the linetype scaling to?
