Autocad 2006 - Importing views

Autocad 2006 - Importing views

Autocad 2006 - Importing views

(OP)
I have created 15 different views of manhole designs in a drawing. I have xrefed that drawing into another in which I need the same views - but that second drawing doesn't contain the same setup views.

Is there a method to import export views or access the views of an xrefed drawing?

RE: Autocad 2006 - Importing views

You should be able to cut and paste the viewports into paper space.  Then right click each and make the objects within visible.

RE: Autocad 2006 - Importing views

...or You can use the designcenter and drag'n'drop the layouts into the new dwg.

It was named views rather than viewports that I was interested in (model space).

Any ideas? Thanks.

RE: Autocad 2006 - Importing views

Ok, i see,

You can use "_save as" -> import Your new objects into the *.dwg with the named views.

...or you can try the lisp "impview.lsp". i didn't try it by myself. Reply.

Works a treat - the source needs to be closed but other than that it went fine - its from acad2000 and works fine in 2006.

Cheers.
