ecw file offset when ploting from layout

sinisa.jovanovic — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 08:06:05 GMT

I noticed that when I create a pdf file that I plot from Layout, the attached ecw file is offset, while when I plot from Model, there is no offset. I also noticed that when adjusting the drawing or using the MVSETUP > Align > Rotate view function, this causes the above-mentioned offset of the attached ecw file. Im running Civil 3D 2023.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Hi Siniša,
How much offset? Screen shots please.

Hi Dave,

I just tried a few different angles with MVSETUP and DVIEW. I also noticed that at right angles (0, 90, 180 and 270°) there is no offset, while at the others it varies quite a bit, both in distance and direction. The offsets are around 0.5 m. At view rotations between 0-90 the offsets are in the east direction, between 90-180 in the north direction, between 180-270 again in the east direction, and between 270-360 in the west direction. Otherwise the offsets are most easily noticeable at the RJ3 manhole cover.

Screenshots from ploted PDF with MVSETUP at 245 and 325°.
