craney89 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Hello, I am having an issue with my drawing border. I made a drawing in model space and I am trying to put it onto paper space and I am having a couple problems. It seems like everything inside my border is instantly one big view port. The other thing is when I try to bring in a border and title block from another drawing that I know is ok the title block comes in but there is no border. thanks for you help All Trade Construction.dwg Edited March 31, 2014 by craney89 Quote
ReMark Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 How were you attempting to do this? Via the CHSPACE command? Can you attach a copy of the drawing to your next post? What is your sheet size? What units are you working in? Metric or Imperial? Quote
BIGAL Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Start with Title block at 1:1 scale eg A1 sheet is 801x560mm metric that means if you check to points it will give 801 as answer in feet you want maybe 36x24 inches, then use mview inside this title block then zoom E dwg should now appear ok now need to set scale, at this point search here for tutorials about setting up and scaling output using layouts. There are really good ones. Quote

Your page set up manager is set to automatically create a viewport. That can be changed in Options. The viewport can be manipulated to fit your paper and title block. Quote
craney89 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 I have attached the drawing to my original post. Quote

ReMark Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) What size paper are you plotting to? Is it 11x17 by any chance? Did you have a particular scale in mind? This process works better when you provide answers to our follow up questions. Otherwise we start making assumptions. OK. I have your drawing laid out on an 11x17 piece of paper with three viewports. The largest viewport has a scale of 3/4"=1'-0" assigned to it. At the moment the other two viewports have a scale of 1"=1'-0". I also put a border around everything and slightly relocated your titleblock. What else needs to be done? BTW, you'll have to change/edit your annotation scales. I'd like to make a couple of suggestions. 1. Create a layer called dimensions and put your dimensions on that layer. 2. Avoid, if possible, assigning a color to a layer then overriding it in your drawing. Edited March 31, 2014 by ReMark Quote
ReMark Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 OK...I don't have all day. This is what I came up with. I changed some layer colors so the image could be seen better. I did not change your annotative dimensions. Quote
craney89 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 sorry about not responding quickly, I am working while I am doing this and have other things I am working on too. Yes it is 11 x 17 I don't have a particular scale in mind. working in imperial Quote
