Multiple polyline viewport from model to layout

[iztok14]

Hi, 

Im new here. I was wondering if exist any lisp routine to create multiple viewport from model space to layout at once. I have 190 polyline object "rectangular" in modelspace and i want to create viewports in paprespace at one time with the same scale besides each other?

 

Thx ... Iztok

Yes like many others as suggetsed @aridzv I have something, and have made like 50+ in one go.

 

You need to post a sample dwg to see how you are attempting to do this.

Thank s for answer. Here is my case . In this drawing need to create 355 viewports in ONE layout paperspace.

The rectangul of viewport is on layer "SHEMA_RECT".

Do you have a desired layout format (paper size), desired scale, etc. or you just want to display of each viewport from model space no matter the scale, paper size, etc.?

As suggested can be done you would look for the "Mx" value then find the co-ords of the rectang, make a layout and create a viewport.

 

You need to provide a couple of things, it would be best to have 1 true size title block in say "Layout1" this would be copied repeatedly. If you dont use a title block ignore.

 

Part 2 as already requested you need to set one size for the layouts. Say a A4 etc. The rectangs are different sizes you need to set the size to match the biggest rectang say M15 as example then a proper scale can be used for the viewport. The layouts are then consistent. So get something like this at a fixed scale.

[BIGAL]

This is very much proof of concept, and needs some extra work but you can try it. I just did 162 layouts by selection did not try all 300+.

 

You must use this new dwg as it has Layout1 set up correctly. I removed layout2 not needed.

 

Obvious bug is if rectangs are not made in correct label sequence but can fix that if it happens. It uses creation order at moment.

 

You should use 1 size for all the rectangs.

Sorry fot late answer, i was away for weekend. I tried "rec2lays" lisp but doesnt work for me ? noting hapend when i type command "rec2lays".

 

Yes i d like to have vieports in only one layout side by side ?

The scale is 1:1 model layout.

 

thy, Iztok

try:

(rec2lays)

 

Include the ( ) - looks like BigAl has done it all 'wrong' - or it is a part of a more complex thing (a lot more likely) and has forgotten to add the c in the function name,

 

Could also alter first line to be:

(defun c:rec2lays ( / ss en.....
