Message 8 of Thanks Chris I now understand perfectly. That is exactly what I am after! Amazing, how after 20 years, one continues learning new things about AutoCAD!

That is the beauty of these international forums! Message 9 of John This is definitely an option. I can't figure how to do it though. I open design centre, and right clicking on the layout gives me the copy option, but going to the new drawing and trying to add this layout, I can't find any paste option.

I tried to drag it from on drawing to another, that didn't seem to work either. Message 10 of Hi MikeKovacik , To copy the layout, it has to have a unique name. I apologize for any confusion. Message 11 of Message 12 of Message 13 of Carl Thanks for your input. Yes that works for a new layout on the same drawing, but doesn't work if you are copying the blocked viewport onto a new drawing which has the same layers.

On the same drawing you could just create a copy of the layout anyway and get the same effect, without having to block the viewport. A pity Robert's wishlist idea was not incorporated into the software, but Chris's method is a good workaround and doesn't take too long to do anyway Mike.

Message 14 of If you want the hole Layout, why not import the Layout? Thats the fine way and for Standard Layouts every time the same source file you can use a one-click macro. Message 15 of Sebastian Not too sure what you mean by importing the layout or how to do it Copying my objects in model space to a new drawing.

Then copying the viewport in paper space to the new drawing does not give the vpfreeze settings. Using matchprop on the vp in the original drawing to the vp in the new drawing does not bring across the vpfreeze settings. You have to redo the vpfreeze all over again. So I am not too sure what you are talking about here either. Can you give me a more detailed explanation please, or a screencapture or a screencast. Message 16 of Hmm, now i am not sure what i should answer.

And do you copy ALL objects or only a part of Modelspace? Each layout viewport is like a closed circuit TV monitor of a view of the model at a scale and orientation that you specify. Annotation scaling is a new feature in AutoCAD that lets you place Dimensions, Multileaders, Blocks and hatches in Model space, and have them scale to the right size to suit a Paper space Viewport.

Now, you can keep on creating circles without having to manually start the command over and over. Contents 1 How do you match a viewport? People also ask: How to highlight viewport in autocad? How to setup viewport in autocad?
