cbaarch Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 viewports = paper space Quote Link to comment
RubenH Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 I know that, contractors receives them but they can't work from paper space. They need the drawings on model space, in that way they can work continously without interrupting the flow of work. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Why would they then need sections from you? If they need sections, let them create those themselves from the model data you supply. Perhaps you can convert a section viewport to lines - that would probably be fine in their flow of work... Quote Link to comment
RubenH Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) It's a natural condition ( :mad: ) in here, that some of us use 3d model (that's our way of work), the other world use Autocad in it's most primitive way. But really the only problem that we have found in the process is this with the sections viewports. I don't obtain consistent results using convert to lines. I prefer converting to group, but still i don't get the background information. Any suggestion? Edited November 14, 2007 by Mr. Gog Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 In AC they can select everything from your section viewport, block it, insert the block in modelspace at the inverse of the scale of the drawing, and explode. Or, eliminating the block, just cut and paste into modelspace and then Scale the pasted stuff up. (Some AC users don't know about cut and paste yet.) They'll probably ask why you can't switch to working in 2D in order to save them those few seconds of extra work. Quote Link to comment
Connys Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Mr. Gog. I have the same problem as you. I tough VW2008 had a solution when making it possible to make viewports in designlayers. But you can?t make section viewports in desiglayers! So the problem is still not solved. So I still have to make those sections and eleveations manually for export to dwg?s modelspace. Archicad has solved how the publish/export in a beatuful way to dwg, pdf or whatever... Quote Link to comment
