Use your mouse into the viewport and hold down the scrow wheel and move your drawing into the viewport looking at arial view as your guide. At the command line, type AV (Aerial View), this command will indicate where your view is in relation to your drawing.
Select your viewport by double-clicking inside it, that tells the software to focus on that viewport.
You seem to know how to select how many viewports. Go to paperspace, go to page setup to tell autocad what dim the final printout should be. Whatever the selected layer in model space is your viewport line layer in paperspace. Select vports as your default layer before you into paperspace. In modelspace - do not use layer 0 in your drawing freeze layer 0 and create a new layer say vports in the layer manager. This is just the basics on how to get started. The current textbooks are not very clear on how paperspace is used. RE: Newbie lost in Paperspace CADaver (Structural) 18 Jun 03 17:09 Nothing about this in George Omura or Shawna Lockhart.Īny help greatly appreciated. I've since successfully opened a viewport in Paperspace (another Layout), but where did I screw up in my first attempt. I moved the floorplan around a bit, and at one stage I changed the drawing limits (bigger). I thought I rotated back again, but the UCS icon in Paperspace finished up on its back.Ģ. Some things (possibly silly) I did along the way:ġ. Somehow I eventually manipulated a paperspace window onto the white layout page but when I used the toolbar to open a floating viewport to get back to Modelspace, the drawing landed in the gray wasteland, out of the window. Whenever I tried to manipulate the Paperspace window onto the white layout page I got "fatal errors" and had to do a "recover". The window landed miles away from the white layout page (by scrolling I could just see it on the edge of the screen). I just finished my first floorplan (A2K) in Modelspace and then tabbed to Paperspace. The cursor will turn into a pickbox, and the Command Line will prompt you to: Select Work Area. To restore the UCS from the first Work Area, select Restore UCS. How do I get back to original UCS in AutoCAD? Type a name for the new UCS and press Enter.Right-click Unnamed and choose Rename from the shortcut menu.
With the Named UCSs tab current, select Unnamed in the UCSs list.On the Coordinates panel of the Home tab, choose UCS, Named UCS.By default, the UCS icon appears in the lower-left corner of the drawing area for the current model viewport. The UCS is an essential tool for many precision operations. The user coordinate system (UCS) establishes the location and orientation of a movable Cartesian coordinate system. Wireless Control System (Cisco Systems Technology) … The World Coordinate System (WCS) is the internal, high accuracy (10 digits) and absolute coordinate system. By default, it is located to coincide with the WCS, but it can be moved. The UCS (User Coordinate System) is the system in which you are working. On the command line in AutoCAD, type PLAN and then World. Under the ViewCube expand the coordinate system drop down and select WCS. On the View tab of the Ribbon, go to the Coordinates panel and select World from the drop-down menu. Normally in 2D views, the WCS X axis is horizontal and the Y axis is vertical. By default, these two systems are coincident in a new drawing. There are two coordinate systems: a fixed system called the world coordinate system (WCS) and a movable system called the user coordinate system (UCS). The XY plane of the UCS is called the workplane. … AutoCAD provides a movable coordinate system called the user coordinate system(UCS). The coordinates of the world coordinate system(WCS) define the location of all objects and the standard views of AutoCAD drawings.
