Autocad Layout view style issues

[alessandro_udina]

While using autocad for 3d modeling, I couldn't change the view style in the layout, if I try to change it from 2d wireframe to any other style the console sends an error message (example: "unknow command conceptual"). The viewing styles work properly only in the model. I even tried to reset to default settings and I re-installed the program but it doesn't work.

Problem only on this dwg or all dwgs?
Executive About command do screenshot and list that here

Also execute GraphicsConfig do a screenshot and post that

"...if I try to change it from 2d wireframe to any other style the console sends an error message (example: "unknow command conceptual")."

What method are you using to change the visual style?

[alessandro_udina]

I tried whit console commands and with the view menu in the layout. 

[alessandro_udina]

Apparently on all dwgs. Anyways thanks I'm going to try it later and let you know 

[paullimapa]

also share one sample drawing where this happens

[dmfrazier]

Please be more specific.

Show us a screenshot of the command line, or the buttons/controls you use.

Maybe my graphics card is obsolete? It might be since I0m working on a very old pc

as you can see it's locked on wireframe view

What happens when you enter comnand

_.Vscurrent

conceptual

[dmfrazier]

Yes, it seems that the Ribbon control is "executing" the option but not the command.

Is that something an out-of-date graphics driver can cause?

Try downloading and installing the 2025 update first 

[alessandro_udina]

it says "cannot set a visual type in paper space"

[alessandro_udina]

I'm currently using autocad 2025

[paullimapa]

I know but you only have v58

The 2025.0.1 update when installed gets you to v72

Hi,

sorry for this stupid question, but all your picures from layout are all made while in Paperspace..

The message "cannot set a visual type in paper space" is correct, if you tried to set it while in paperspace.

Also your picture of error message was made while in paperspace.

Go to your Layout, jump into your viewport - command MSPACE

and try it again.

omg thank you, I didn't know how to use the layout for 3d modeling, I always draw 2d things. I typed mspace and now the view in the layout works as the model space.

Using modelspace in the layout to make visual styles work won't cause any problem while trying to print the views into a pdf file right?
