Export Layout

I have 3D projects set up so the layout view is set to the paper size.  For example a 36 inch border or paper edge is set to 36 x 25.4(metric conversion) = 914.4 units.   But it exports layout as that 36 edge size and my actual line lenghts are scaled from the original model space size.  

 

For example.  I have a property boundary that is 207.51m long but when I export layout it changes it to 276.334m.  It is scaling my model space size and not the paper size or my drawing scale.  It is holding the paper space size/scale. 

 

We have 10 drawings to send to a client all different scales.  Is there a way to export layout and to model space scale rather than paper scale?

Kindest Regards

The only way I can think of would be to use CHSPACE to push all of your titleblock objects and labels into modelspace.

What do you want the client to see. Just the layout and the MS objects needed for that layout?

You can try Export to dwg and then ExportLayout but ExportLayout always gives me a fatal error even w/o C3D points which is a known issue.

When we send a pdf of our layout tab we want to give them only that information in model space.  We used to maptrim xclip boundaries but I thought exportlayout was supposed to do that for you?

 

I guess we can just align the layout to the known lenght of an object.  I just thought there might be some way to do it in exportlayout but I guess not.

EXPORTLAYOUT only exports out using the paper space units and coordinates. You would need to correlate the model space coordinates with the paper space coordinate. Then you could align and scale the exported layout with the original model space locations. We do this for our submissions to the city.

Our current workflow asks the user for two points and then generates a script to do the grunt work in the new file.

Ok thanks, that is how we have been doing it.
