Modelspace as flattened drawing

Anonymous — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 15:48:55 GMT

In AC9 there was an option called "Modelspace with cropped drawings content" which gave me the output I wanted when exporting my layouts
- single DWG-file
- complete layout in modelspace
- layers exported

In AC10 the option "Modelspace as flattened drawing" comes close but:
no exported layers, everything is on layer 0

The Paperspace options also do not give me what I need.

Am I overlooking an option?

I just ran into this problem myself. Put the setting on

Save Layout into : Paper Space with Cropped Drawings content
Place Drawings into : Single DXF/DWG file.

You will get the full drawing in model space and a croped view in paperspace, all layers intact.

Yes, you should read the AC10 New Features Guide or the AC10 Help file, because these options have changed in this latest release. This I believe mostly has to do with PlotMaker integration into Archicad.

I have tried all your suggestions, also from this thread, but i can't get everything that is on the layout to apear in model space (including objects on master layout) and with layers. I can get either everything on one layer, or only model with layers, but without objects from master layout.

I'm sure, that I am missing something, but I think I have tried everything allready. Or this can't be done.
