When I create a layout for a fabrication drawing and then make cut sheets using the automatic drawing my fabrication drawing disappears what causes this and how do i fix it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It changes the number of layout tabs visible. By default, I believe only 5 layout tabs are visible. If you go beyond 5 AutoCAD starts hiding the layout tabs. If you change the setpbuf variable to 20, then you'll have 20 layout tabs visible at a time, at most.
If this variable is indeed what's causing your issue then your layout tabs were merely hidden and they should come back when you change this variable to a higher number.
If that doesn't fix it, let me know and I'll post some screenshots of how I fixed a similar issue I was having.
It adds to the number of paper space tabs. othrewise when you have reached the max nuber set it will delete one everytime you creat one.
type in setpbuf enter 25 that works for me.
I'm having this issue (Civil 3D 2015). When I type the command SETPBUF, I get message of unknown command. Would you send a screenshot? or do you know another way to fix this?
