rock1 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have 5 plans in a single autocad file. I recently saw a layout option that fixes the view and the areas that you want to print. I want to do like this. 1 layout I want to create is of an A1 size sheet on which these 4 floor plans are placed in a square fashion, i.e. each plan on one vertice of a square. I want to set the printer output option as a postscript level 2 file in another layout I want to put the site plan on an A1 sheet. Here I also want a postcript level 2 file. However in my original drawing, these plans are placed next to each other in a linear fashion. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Is it Viewports that you are after? Command MVIEW to create one, they are kind of windows into Model Space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Utilizing a paper space layout and creating viewports would seem to make the most sense as far as setting up the drawings. I am not familiar with Postscript level 2 files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Firstly dont worry about the postscript bit its just another plotter like pdf or HP etc. Search out how to use layout tabs a far better way than multiple sheets in models space its the only way to go these days. Lee Mac has a good tutorial about using layouts I think its at www.Lee-mac.com he will correct if I have it wrong. Back to model space and multiple dwgs you can save each plot window seperately and then recall all settings for that window with one pick No acad at moment its top right in the plot menu. You can use views also if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
