AutoCad :: Viewport Is Visible In Plot?

Aug 1, 2011

seems like an awfully simple question, but i cannot figure out how to hide the viewport from a plot?

AutoCad :: Drawing In Viewport Not Visible In Plot Preview?

Apr 19, 2012

I'm creating a new project drawing and have x-ref'd my base drawing onto the sheet to be plotted. I can see the base drawing thru the viewport while in layout, but once I try and preview my plot the drawing inside the viewport is not visible. that is, I can see the preview of my sheet border & title block, but nothing within the viewport shows on the preview screen.

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 :: Viewport Not Visible Or Selectable?

Jan 8, 2014

DWG has viewports on layout tabs, but the viewports are not visible. The viewport can be open, edited as established, but if you pan or zoom, the paperspace layout moves and not model space. In model space, viewport frame does not highlight.

All layers on, unfrozen, and plottable.

Have done extensive internet search to find soution, found others with same problem, have found no one with a solution.

Not extremely CAD literate, basically self taught, but until this problem, I've been knowledgeable and resourceful solving problems.

AutoCAD .NET :: Viewport Layers Set To Frozen Are Still Visible?

Jul 9, 2012

I have a sub that gets a page number and a collection of layer ID's to freeze.  The sub will freeze the selected layers in all of the viewports except for the new one.

After running the program, the layers in the specific viewport are still visible, but when you go into Model mode in the viewport and check the layer status, it shows the selected layers are set to Freeze in the viewport. 

If I save the drawing, exit,and re-open it, the layers are now not visible.  I believe I have the "Regen" in the correct spot.

The code is attached.

' Freezes the selected layers in all other existing viewport layouts Public Sub freezeOtherLayouts(ByVal pageNumber As Integer, ByVal layersToFreezeLayerIds As ObjectIdCollection) Dim doc As Document =

AutoCAD .NET :: Setting Group Of Layers Visible In Viewport

Sep 27, 2011

I have a dialog box that has 2 list boxes.  One box has the available layers in it, while the other will contain the selected layers.  I want to use those selected layers as a list of layers that will be visible in a particular view port.  I have searched all over to find information on what kind of list I would need and how could I use the list with a view port, but all I've found is info for one layer becoming visible.

I'm also looking into "FreezeLayersInViewport" but info sure seems limited.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Frozen Layer In Viewport Becoming Visible After Save

Mar 8, 2012

I have a viewport in paper space with most layers set to "VP Freeze".   When I save the drawing or when a auotsave occurs,  the frozen layers become visible again in the viewport even though they are still marked as frozen. The only way I can get the viewport to display correctly again is to close the drawing and re-open it. How I can stop this from happening?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Wipeout Frames Visible In Plot?

May 1, 2013

I have set my wipeout frames to "off" however when I plot the drawing they are still visisble.

This sets the visiblity of the farmes within the drawing to off however when plotting the frames are visible on the print.

Been a while since I have used wipeout, not sure if this is a system bug or there is some other variable I have forgotten that will set frames to not plot ?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Plot Drawing With A Viewport In Paperspace

Jan 10, 2012

I am trying to plot a drawing with a viewport (of a 3D planview) in paperspace. The viewport has the "3D Hidden" shade plot property applied. The plot preview shows all the entities color-by-layer. I am plotting with a plot style that assigns all colors to black. Typically the plot preview shows all linework black when plotting with this plot style applied. The resulting plot (from an Oce tds700) shows the linework in a "grayscale" quality, not the normal solid black linework typically associated with a 2D viewport plotted on the same plotter with same plot style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Number Not Visible When Legacy Hidden Shade Plot Is Selected

Sep 30, 2013

I am having difficulty with the display of my point numbers and description when plotting. I am doing piping desing and utilizing Civil 3D points for the coardinates and elevations to display in a point table. For my viewport, in the properties dialogue box, under the Shade Plot option, I have selected Legacy Hidden due to needing my pipes to display properly only to have my points not display properly. If I opt for Legacy Wireframe or As Displayed, my points display correctly but my pipes do not. Any clue as to how I can have both display properly?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Plotting Blocks With Viewport Transparency

Jan 8, 2014

Trying to get blocks to plot transparent for only 1 viewport.  Using viewport transparency works for all objects in applicable layer except blocks that have been created using "0" layer. I cannot use transparency by block since the blocks must show in other layouts without transparency.  Also cannot re-create blocks using different layer since the source file is kept on network for all to use.  Is there a way to plot blocks with the vp transparency of its current layer despite having created the block in another layer?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot / Annotation And Viewport Scale Correlation

Feb 25, 2013

Plot scale / Annotation scale / Viewport scale

I couldn’t figure out how these three types of scales are correlated with one another. For example, my drawing unit in AutoCAD is meter. And thus if I need to print my drawing with a scale of 1:200 then I set the annotation scale to be 1:2viewport scale to be 1:2plot scale 100:1000
 
if I need to print my drawing with a scale of 1:20 then I set the annotation scale to be 5:1viewport scale to be 5:1plot scale 100:1000 

I couldn’t derive the rule that controls these three types of scales. This is also quite confusing when working with C3D! Sounds not the same logic is applied.

AutoCad 3D :: Printing Via DWG To PDF Rendered Shade Plot Viewport In Layout

May 11, 2012

I am having some difficulties when printing via dwg to pdf a rendered shade plot viewport in a layout. However, there is no problem using realistic shade plot. I am using the following materials: Metal | Alumininum (Anodized Blue, Anodized Blue-Gray), Plastic and Glass and the result is not good as all. I am also looking on a tutorial on strategic place to place light for even more realistic rendering.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2012 Plot Shaded Viewport Options Sketchy

Mar 1, 2012

How to use the "Shaded Viewport Options" in the Plot dialog box? We saw an option for Sketchy in the dropdown menu but I can't find any information about how to use it, or how to change the settings, or even what the intent is for it. When we have selected it and viewed in Preview it shows up as a mass of lines too dense to be usable. 

We are using AutoCAD 2012 on a PC in model space.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Viewport Override To Make Layer Plot With Lighter Lineweight

Apr 18, 2011

I have an xref in my drawing. I am trying to use a VP override to make a layer plot with a lighter lineweight. I have changed the layer to number 9 (set to plot light) in the viewport and the layer changes color. When plotting the layer does not plot with the correct lineweight. The object color on the layer is set to bylayer. Visretain is set to "1" What is wrong? Why isn't the layer plotting correctly?

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Change Plot Setup To Multiple Sheets For Use With Batch Plot

May 21, 2013

I have one drawing per file at model tab. When I need to plot a multiple page file, I use:

Print > Batch Plot.

The problem is that I have to set plot configurations ( plot style table, plot area, paper size, etc) in each file before use Batch Plot.

Now I received 722 files with a wrong Plot Style Table. For this time I change the associated *.ctb file at Plot Style folder, but I will need to associate the right *.ctb to each drawing. It's also common to have to change other properties.

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 Civil 3D :: Editing In Viewport That Is Over A Viewport?

Jul 12, 2012

I have a drawing with a viewport that fits to the page. And I created another smaller viewport over top that just shows the legend. Now when I try to double click inside the smaller viewport it always goes into the larger one. I have tried bringing the smaller one to the front but that didn't work. I know that I can clip the larger viewport around the smaller one or bring the legend right into paperspace or slid the smaller one off to the side work in it and slide it back. This is more out of curiosity of how to get into the smaller viewport.

AutoCAD .NET :: Cannot Get Frozen In Viewport Status For 1st Viewport Of Several

Jul 1, 2011

I did a test drawing with 4 viewports in paperspace.I frozen a layer in each viewport (as a viewport override, not global), and wrote code to gather info on layer overrides in viewports.The function takes in a database, and is generally used on drawings only open in memory:

public static bool GetLayerInfoFromDB2(Database db) { //do viewports on layoutstry {using (Transaction tr = db. Transaction Manager. Start Transaction()) { ObjectId ldid = db.LayoutDictionaryId;DBDictionary ld = (DBDictionary)tr.GetObject(ldid,
[code]....

 the odd thing is it never finds the frozen viewports on the first viewport.  It catches the others fine.I cannot see anything odd either, the counts of viewports and layers are all correct, and the drawing has no problems.Is there something that must be done to initialize the mechanism that reads viewport overrides?
