GRIP SELECT

[Imui]

Hello

Is there any way of selecting grips in one go?

Now i have to select each one separatly while pressing CTRL (ACad 2011)

If not, maybe in future releases.

No, that's the whole point of grip editing, it's a detailed precise and exact selection method.

Perhaps you need to try other methods of moving or stretching: explain your exact problem in a lot of details so we can replicate and walk you through any other options around.

Hello

I stretching dynamick blocks in one go. No i have to select each grip.

And another thing that takes an extra 20 seconds is handeling viewports. what i do is draw everyting in modelspace, including the paper frame. In some projects i have more then 100 drawings/papers. I draw them one after the other, or below eachother.  Then, from paperspace, draw a viewport over the first frame. Now, in order to be able to copy the viewport over the next paper frame i select all the viewport grips (with SHIFT pressed) and, after selecting all (with CTRL pressed) select one grip and "copy" it over another thus copying the whole viewport at a precise interval , over the next modelspace paperframe.

So watching your video was painful: someone teach you to copy object that painfully long way? That is so wrong.

Start COPY command, select the one triangle (click #1), hit <enter>, tap F3 to turn on your running osnaps if they are not on already, click on one corner (click #2) and copy your rectangle all day long?

Are you creating the viewports to display on one plan or are you making one copy per sheet. If you have more that one sheet you should create one layout tab per sheet, Right click on the layout tab, select Move or Copy, check the Create a Copy box and select Move to End.

Note: I use full AutoCAD in Civil 3D. I believe this concept applies to LT. My apologies if it doesn't.

Not quite what is happening here. This is not a static copy of a Viewport.

Though I cannot recereate as the OP has the result will be a NEW Viewport over a different area of Modelspace if you use the right click (sub-menu) Copy of a Hot Grip to Copy the Viewport.

Copy from the top right-click menu will only make a copy of the current Viewport. And it will be the same View of Modelspace as the original as expected.

Hello

Yes, that is what i am doing.

I am replicating many viewports in the same layout, then copy the layout. After copying the layout i use a macro to erase all of the viewports that i dont need.

^C^C_zoom;all;_ai_selall;\_erase;_ai_selall;_move;_endp;\0,0,0;_zoom;all

Thus all that remaines is one viewport per layout. Then move to the next layout.

By the way. Can anyone help me emprove this macro? I can't figure out how to make it change to the next layout. Now i have to run the macro in each layout. From the keybord is CTRL+PGdown.

How come you get all the "Kudos" for explaining the obvious 🙂
I don't know why is not working for you. I have default settings
