AutoCAD 2013 :: Importing Paper Space Layout And Model Space Objects From Dwt Into A New Drawing

Oct 4, 2013

I'm trying to import a drawing from a dwt file into a drawing as a new layout. This would be perfect if the model space objects associated with this dwt file would import as well.

AutoCAD LT :: Drawing In Layout Not In Model Space

Apr 20, 2012

I have received a drawing that is only showing in the first layout tab on a contractor's template.  The drawing is in a viewport of course.  The drawing does not show in the model space. 

1.   Is it possible to send a drawing only in the Layout tab?
2.   Is it possible for me to do something to view the drawing in model space and how is it done?
3.   Could it simply be a compatibility issue between the contractor's.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Auto Update Of XY Coord In Model Space Onto Paper Space (Layout Tab) Block

Nov 5, 2013

I've tried doing a block that automatically updates the X and Y coordinates from its moveable leader. I can get it to work in model space or paper space. But my problem is I want it to work in PS, but update with the MS coordinates through the viewport.

I can get it to update, by LISP, by picking a point and passing the points to the blocks attributes. At the moment I have a LISP when actioned it locks the viewports, activates the viewport, and asks you to select a point. Once selected it de-activates the viewport (going back into layout tab) then asks which block you want to update. Where you now select the block and it updates the coordinates.  I.e. manually pick the point in MS, switch to PS and then manually pick the block. Then I have to manually modify the leader to the correct location.

I'm hoping that I can (In PS) move the end of the leader to snap to a position in MS and the coord updates to reflect the correct MS coordinates. I'm thinking that maybe this can't be done automatically and that I maybe can move the leader but I'm not sure how I can do it without running a LISP to update the block?

I'd be happy moving the leader then just running a single command and the leader coordinates updating without having to select the points and the block again.
  
I've attached the block showing the auto update of the attributes (fields).

AutoCad 2D :: Scaling Drawing Between Model Space And Paper Space

Apr 30, 2012

I am having trouble scaling my drawing between model space and paper space. I have it drawn in model space at 1:1, and I set the viewport scale in paperspace to 1:15. However, it does not show up as 1:15. I have drawn a 50' line in model space. The viewport is 4" wide in paperspace, so you should be able to see the whole line in the viewport at a 1:15 scale, with some space on each side. However, it does not. I can only see a small fraction of the line.

AutoCad :: Drawing Paper Space / Model Space

Jun 21, 2011

Paper space was just introduced the last time I used AutoCAD professionally. I didn't become familiar with it and it seemed like an unfathomable concept then; at least from the way it was explained to me.

So I did some drawing for this guy all in paper space...that was what first opened up in AutoCAD. After five hours and getting ready to send the files, I realize that maybe I should a done it in model space. Is it really going to make that much of a difference? If he wanted me to redo it in model space .

AutoCAD VB :: Export Layout To Model Space

Nov 7, 2013

VB code to do the EXPORTLAYOUT command? I need to create a batch program to do a large number of files from the layout to the model space. The program can either copy the layout to the modelspace and save or copy the layout to a new file. Either way is fine. These are old MDT files that we are moving into the Vault, but Vault doesn't like them and the drafters are using AutoCAD in modelspace to revise them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Export Layout To Model Space Coordinates

Nov 23, 2012

I have a question about exporting layouts into the model space coordinate system. I have a lot of drawings created from view frame and sheet set manager.

Each drawing has its own layout and it needs to be exported into model space. But when I export the layout it places the drawing into 0,0 in model space.

Is there any way to have it placed at the drawings coordinate system, assuming its in CA-VF (California State Plane Zone V, US foot) ?

Can it also be rotated, including title block, if the the viewport has a rotation (if the north arrow is not pointing up)?

We need to export the dwg's into dgn's. Our client uses Microstation v7 and all drawings need to be in that format.

I know v7 is old but what are you going to do.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Export From Layout To Model Space

Mar 31, 2013

I have AutoCAD 2013 and usially use in my work dynamic blocks with wipeout, e.g. valves, pumps and others.

So, few days ago I found that I cannot export my drawing from layout to model space. Everything is exported except wipeouts.

Is it something about new Autodesk politics or what? AutoCAD 2010 still works fine with the same drawing.

Examle.dwg is attached.

AutoCad :: Model Space Quick View Layout Not Updating?

Oct 24, 2012

I am having an issue with my template that I created from an old drawing: the quick view layout thumbnail still shows the old drawing in model space. All of the paper space thumbnails update themselves as I work, however model space does not. It shows the old drawing both when I hover over the model space tab, and also when I pull up all of my quick view layouts. I am using AutoCAD 2009

AutoCAD 2010 :: Some MText Disappeared From Model Space But Visible In Layout

Mar 15, 2012

I have a big drawing and some Mtext from a text layer just disapeared from model space. If i switch to a Layout the text is visible in the layout view and I can select it in a floating viewport, but when I switch back to model again I do not see it.

I added new text in model where missing and now in the Layout I have duplicates, the old one and the new one.

If i try to copy/paste the missing text from a previous version of the drawing, the text just doesn't paste, is not visible.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MTEXT Rotated 90 In Model Space When Set To Match Layout

Jan 3, 2013

I have a drawing I am working on regardless of whether I use DVIEW Twist or UCS rotate I encounter the same issue. I start with MTEXT that is parallel to my intended view. However, as soon as I make it annotative and set it to Match Layout the text rotates 90-degrees and is no longer plan readable.The text lives in model space, not paper space. I've even roated the layout viewports in this specific drawing to match, and the text appears correct when viewed through a viewport, but when I jump back to model it is turned on end 90-degrees again! Have I missed  a setting somewhere? Shouldnt the text reamin oriented with current view in model space?

I am uploading a link to a video which shows this problem in detail. URL...

AutoCAD 2010 :: Changing Between Model Space To Paper Space Locks Application

Apr 12, 2013

In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.

In 2012 Autocad, cannot change from model space to paper space, or paper space to model space without locking up in several drawings.

I can log into another user's computer and open the file fine. But when i use my computer or a brand new computer fitting all Auto CAD specs, it locks up. When I plot I have to reset my settings to the PTE standards every time.

I now get CAD errors when CAD is not even open. Also VTPSUHM barely works. I generally have to restart my computer several times to get it to work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dynamic Blocks Showing In Model Space But NOT In Paper Space

Mar 22, 2012

I am a landscape architect trying to xref in civil backgrounds. I have noticed twice now from two different civil firms that some of the civil symbols (dynamic blocks) are having visibility issues in paper space. No the viewport layers are not turned off or frozen. No the views weren't placed using the sheet set manager. Yes the blocks are created on layer zero and yes the associated layer is not off or frozen. I don't believe these blocks are annotative blocks. They appear, as expected, perfectly clear in model space. I just toggel over to paper space and "poof" they've disappeared.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: X Y Coordinates From Model Space On Paper Space?

Nov 5, 2013

I'm trying to create a block that reads the x and y coordinates of a point from the end of a leader. Which is fine and easy enough if I use the block in the same space.. ie model space or paper space (layout tab).

However I wan't to be able to capture the coordinate from the model space, through the viewport, and pass it onto the block in Paper Space. Is this possible?

Or is it a case of having to use a more LISP based approach?

AutoCAD LT :: Model Space Hatch Hiding Paper Space Multileader

Dec 10, 2012

I'm running ACAD LT 2013. 

I have a solid hatch that is in model space (actually in an xref in model space).  When I use multileaders (in paper space) and point into the hatched area, that part of the multileader becomes hidden.  As if it was a layering or object arrangement issue.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Switch Object From Model Space To Paper Space

Oct 12, 2012

I feel like I have a vague memory of once learning how to click on an object in a viewport and being able to click a button or use a command to switch that object to paper space (so that it appears the same size). I'm trying to avoid having to go through the steps to scale down the object once I get it in paper space).

AutoCAD 2013 :: Paper Space Viewports - Wipeouts In Model Space

Jul 13, 2012

I have several viewports rotated in paper space. When i set them to let say 1:100 scale go to paper space and then click into viewport it comes back to zoom extends of model space and i have to set it all up again and rotate it.

Second problem is that I've created wipeout in model space when i go to layout (paper space) ti looks just how i want it.

When I go to preview or plot it doesn't recognise any wipeouts?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: How To Get From Paper Space To Model Space While Converting Scale Properly

Feb 8, 2012

I need to have users plot to DWF from paper space so they can retain their customized layers colors etc, on that specific paper space tab, as well as the view via viewport that they like most.

I then am mixing this with FDO data generated out of Model space. Unfortunately, when using the EXPORTLAYOUT command, the data is coped into Model space but seems to retain it's paper space coordinates. I had hoped this function would behave like CHSPACE and copy everything from paper to model space in the same scale.

Is there a way for me to achieve this?

AutoCad :: Text Doesn't View In Same Model Space / Paper Space

Aug 24, 2012

ACAD 2010 text doesn't view the same in MSpace and PSpace! Model space is the acad default text: txt Paper Space it appears as it should as Romans. The drawings print as txt and not as it should Romans! When I change the text in model space to Romans, save the drawing, enter PSpace and the return to MSpace, it seems to 'reset' back to text!

This is specific to my workstation BTW, when I open the dwg file on a colleagues PC it opens Romans in both Model and Paper space.

AutoCad :: Referencing Title Block From Model Space Into New Tab Of Paper Space

Jul 11, 2011

I just started a new job and am struggling to set everything up the way my old company had AutoCad configured. My old company actually had people that were involved in writing the code for AutoCad on the payroll, so hopefully what I'm looking for isn't some intense computer programming issue.

In short, I am trying to be able to create a generic title block in model space, and reference that title block into paper space of a new drawing without having to create a new tab or anything first. A new paper space tab is automatically created upon attaching the new title block. My old company had its own custom menu bar with lots of custom commands, so the work flow would go something like this: "Old company name" in menu bar -> "Insert" -> "Title Blocks" -> "24x36 title block" (or whatever size we wanted to use obv). Once the desired title block size was selected, a new tab would be created in paper space with the title block as an xref, and a copy of the generic title block was saved to the main folder containing drawings of the project, and could be edited with the specific project info from there.

Is there a semi-easy way to do this, or is this a coding issue that a non-programmer such as myself might have some difficulty doing?
