How to open multiple ACAD paperspaces WITH viewport contents

DennisG — Thu, 18 May 2006 20:13:11 GMT

Greetings;

I have received a large DWG file from my consultant, which apparently contains multiple paper space "pages" which open, via Viewports, to the common Model Space. I am attempting to import this file into PM in such a way that the Paper Space pages are converted to individual Layout sheets, each retaining its unique viewports including viewport content.

So far I have succeeded in converting the paperspace pages into layouts, but with no viewports; and importing the entire model space onto one layout page.

Is there a way to replicate the ACAD paperspace sheets, WITH VIEWPORT CONTENT, in PM? I'm not having much luck.

Thanks,

Dennis

What are your Translator settings?

I get multiple pages in the layout book that appear to be viewports to the common model space, but the drawings on the layouts are not linked to anything... the drawings are not blank, they show what they are supposed show, but cannot be updated.. I'm using the special built-in translator.... I've duplicated that and changed some things but the links are still broken... Obviously, I can relink them but that doesn't work that well.... I might as well start over....
