grouch032 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 If i am using a read only file from a similar CAD program, how do i set it up so i can lay it out to prepare it for printing... thank you alex Quote
ReMark Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Did this "similar CAD program" utilize features similar to a paper space layout and viewports or is everything in model space? Quote
grouch032 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 I'm not sure... When I try to get the object into the paper space, it doesn't allow it. I'm trying to figure it out as I go. I am clicking the paper space in the viewport and nothing is happening Quote
ReMark Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 The CHSPACE command will be model space objects into your paper space layout but all I would bring over is the title block and border. BTW...when you are in a paper space layout and looking at a viewport, the objects you see (in the viewport) are in model space. Quote
CADMASTER1128 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Did this "similar CAD program" utilize features similar to a paper space layout and viewports or is everything in model space? If it is the same kind of set up, I do have a quick guide you could use to assist you: Creating layouts in PaperSpace.pdf **EDIT** Note: The TBT Architecture Template is what we used while I was in school.

grouch032 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 okay... in model space, I have the location where i would like it to show up in layout space. When i got to layout space and click to move the picture, it doesn't do anything. how do i get it so that in layout i can move it around? Quote
CADMASTER1128 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Can you post the file? Yes i can, I thought I did. See attached: Creating layouts in PaperSpace.pdf Quote
grouch032 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 I tried following the direction, but I get stuck because I don't have the "options" available or showing when I do format. It should work because it's AutoCAD 2008 Quote

grouch032 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 yes... but i figured out how to view the model space on the viewport (layout) with the command mview... that helped out a lot Quote
SLW210 Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Yes i can, I thought I did. See attached: [ATTACH]33970[/ATTACH] I was asking the OP to post the file. Quote
