Dead Line Help: Publishing in PM to DWG, Lost Title Block...

[Anonymous]

I am reposting this again,
Hi,
I just tried to publish my PM drawings to DWG, when I open the DWG's in AC to check for correct translation I do not see my title block or how I cropped the plans in PM. But it prints fine from PM. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Joseph Harouni

joseph-

plotmaker entities go into AutoCAD's paper space. this is where your titleblock is. at the autocad commandline, type "ps" or "tilemode=0" or use the menus to select a paperspace view of your model. my guess is that AutoCAD opened the file in model space.

Thanks for the reply, I am trying to check to see if the file translated correctly by opening it in ArchiCad. I do not have AutoCad, I would like to check it before sending it to the client. Can paper space be viewed in ArchCad? Should Be!
Thanks,
Joseph

Do you have a .dwg viewer like VoloView?

No I do not, does AC9 have the capability of showing the paper space?
Thanks,

8.1 can view paper space.
Open any drawing or a blank document and set the floor plan scale at 1 to 1. Select and open the DWG. In the translator, under the "Settings in Selected Translator" section, select "Open Options" and you will see the options under Import Drawing Data From. Select "Paper space with Viewport Contents" and open. The drawing will then open in "Paper Space" with the sizes in the drawing at a 1 to 1 scale with the plot sheet for your review.

Hope this helps.
