Automatic Layouts creation

[CADZealot]

Hello Everyone,

I'm newbie here. I just learned something in AutoCAD.

I've found a lisp to create Automatic Layouts on below page.

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/how-to-create-automatic-layouts/td-p/7453189

 

I have to do similar work but with different Template.

I have tried with my Template, but it's not working for my layout. Actually viewport 2 not created.

Please anyone help me out on this lisp.

And also could you please let me know is there any possible to create multiple size layouts with this block. Like A1,A2...., Using the same lisp?.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi dlanorh,

Thanks for your reply.

Here's the two different version of file.

You need to use this: AutoViewport - Automatic creation layouts and viewport
If you have questions - attach the file with the real title block. And an example of how it should be.

Hi Maratovich,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have tried already.it's working with only one viewport on each layout.but there is two viewport in my layout. Also i want to create layouts automatically.(without opening any dialogue boxes).

 

Thanks.

You have difficulty to use.
Suppose on the first sheet we put species screens 1 and 2.
Then on the second sheet which viewports should I put?
How to understand which viewport to put?
You yourself try to do it yourself, you will understand the complexity, then show us the result.

The task is not that hard, using intersectwith you can get the two points for a given distance working along a pline, you set a custom ucs, create a new layout, add a mview using these two points, new ucs and correct scale. I don’t have this exact code but do have another code that does the correct answer used to check vehicle clash with a driveway, just change the car wheelbase, will see what I can do.

 

title block view window size,

plot scale

sheet overlap

pick pline.

then make layouts

 

The question raised was two layouts per sheet doable just adds a complication.

 

My cheat is a copy layout to another layout which I have code for.

Hello Bigal,

Sorry..i can't understand what you're telling.and also I don't know lisp like you guys. So could you please explain briefly.

 

Thanks

We asked questions - how will the second sheet with viewports be created?

[BIGAL]

I had a look at your dwg and not sure now exactly what you want have no idea why the big and small viewports ? Need a proper dwg with some objects.

[CADZealot]

Actually first viewport will be created for that block for Ex.001 and that will be fit with viewport.

the second viewport will be created for the same block which is fit on viewport one but its not fit in viewport 2. viewport 2 used for mention the location of the Block.

You showed an example page 1.
We need an example page 2.

Here is sample PDF for three layouts,

Is done.
You need to re-download the program and install.

Thank you so much Maratovich.

Let me try the programme.
