hydrographer Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi all, I work for a small survey company that provides drawings mostly to engineers. Very repetitive, mostly profiles. Whats the quickest way to fill 10-20 layouts with lots of profiles? This is what i'm doing now but its slow work: Arrange profiles in modelspace: And then copy and paste a lot of chart layouts in paperspace, but tediously shift each viewport adjust keyplan and rename: Maybe a Script could be implemented? ..not quite sure how to go about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maratovich Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Attach files example Profile for insertion and a final sample This is to test possibility of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Quick way? Use Civil 3D it has these tools build in to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Like Murph_map Civil site design a 3rd party add on, multiple layouts is a std feature. I agree with maratovich it could be automated particularly if profiles are same vertical spacing, pick top point, pick next profile so get spacing, enter hor scale, layouts appear.

hydrographer Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sorry for the late reply, i've been busy wasting my time on these profiles ... I actually use Bricscad at the moment.. maybe I should trial Civil 3D, so it will sequentially number multiple layouts and move the viewport by a specified amount? maratovich, what should I attach?, my dwg? (profiles where generated using Geotools for Bricscad). Before that my profiles were raw 3D polylines coming from CloudClompare! Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Look into Civil Site Design its available for Briscad and will not cost as much as CIV3D www.civilsitedesign.com I am pretty sure you can get a trial version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
