Lots of similar drawings

[hydrographer]

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

Attach files example

Profile for insertion

and a final sample

This is to test possibility of

[Murph_map]

Quick way? Use Civil 3D it has these tools build in to it.

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.

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

Look into Civil Site Design its available for Briscad and will not cost as much as CIV3D

I am pretty sure you can get a trial version.
