Map Book layout shows offset

Anonymous
Not applicable

hola,
después de haber probado varias plantillas de libro de mapas veo que la mayoría devuelven encuadres no conformes con los sectores creados.
Las de tipo Classic fallan especialmente; editando la forma de las ventanas de vista principal, se provocan desplazamientos.
Guiado por los tutoriales de Murphy para los libros de mapas y, tomando como referencia las plantillas preinstaladas, me he atrevido a diseñar mis propias plantillas pero siempre acaba apareciendo el error del encuadre en la ventana de presentación.
¿Alguien puede aclarar cual es el truco para que no falle?, ¿es un error que debo comunicar al soporte?
No es viable corregir el encuadre manualmente a cientos de presentaciones, evitarlo es lo que me hizo adentrarme en los libros de mapas
gracias
Hello,
After trying several map book templates, I see that most return frames that do not conform to the created sectors.
The Classic type fail especially; by editing the shape of the main view windows, displacements are caused.
Guided by Murphy's tutorials for the map books and, taking the pre-installed templates as a reference, I have dared to design my own templates but the framing error always appears in the presentation window.
Can anyone clarify what the trick is so that it does not fail? Is it a bug that I must communicate to the support?
It is not feasible to correct the frame manually to hundreds of presentations, avoiding it is what made me go into the map books
Thank you

You may create a MapBook template from scratch OR you can use an existing  MapBook template and revise it so if uses your own titleblock. Either way you'll need to 'define' your MapBook template from the Map Book Tab of the Map Task Pane. 

 

Here's an instructional video by Jerry Bartels that has a thorough explanation on creating MapBooks.

Description: In this (8 min) video, I show how to quickly create tiled grading plan sheets on a large commercial project using Civil 3D. This is accomplished using the MapBooks feature and functions.

gracias,
sigo sin poder entender por qué algunas plantillas (.dwt) preinstaladas funcionan y otras no; es la clave para tener en control en la creación de plantillas personalizadas.

 

Thank you,
I still can't understand why some preinstalled templates (.dwt) work and others don't -https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-map-3d/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles...-;

It is the key to have custom template creation under control

It shouldn't matter if "Map Book Template - ISO A1 Classic" has an offset and "Map Book Template - ISO A0 Elegant" doesn't.

 

The easiest solution is to select a good template and paste a new titleblock onto the layout  that replaces the bad one. Don't use a bad layout tab, use a good one with whatever template you want. Avoid using "Map Book Template - ISO AO Elegant" and use another one instead. The others don't have the offset.

 

For a more customized and polished look, delete the existing template from an out-of-the-box MapBook layout then paste one of the templates you normally use for your deliverables. You can even use the Page Setup Manager to change the sheet size. When creating your template, make the MAIN viewport the size you want. Then for your KEYMAP viewport make an arbitrary size on the right-hand side next to the main VP. If you pay attention, you'll notice the main VP is scaled by you when you run the MapBook wizard. the Keymap VP, however, is not scaled.

 

AFTER you have established a usable Template for your MapBook, you can Save it with 'dwg' extension. Then after you have Saved, should you run the NEW MapBook wizard.

Why some of the templates still have this offset issue? I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2023 and it is still the problem with it.

What are the dimensions of your sheet? Can you upload your template?

open dwt file,

run the lisp code to modify viewport’s viewtarget to(0,0,0).

then create map book.

(defun c:SVT (/ ss vp pt)
  (princ "\nSelect the viewport to correct:")
  (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "VIEWPORT"))))
  (if (> (sslength ss) 0)
    (progn
      (setq vp (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss 0)))
      (setq pt
	     (vlax-safearray->list
	       (vlax-variant-value (vla-get-Target vp))
	     )
      )

      (if (and (= 0 (car pt)) (= 0 (cadr pt)) (= 0 (caddr pt)))
	(princ "\nseledted viewport's viewtarget is (0,0,0),not need correct。")
	(progn
	  (princ "\nseledted viewport's viewtarget is")
	  (princ pt)
	  (setq pt (vlax-3d-point 0 0 0))
					; 设置视图目标为 (0,0,0)  
	  (vla-put-Target vp pt)
	  (princ "\nseledted viewport's viewtarget is updated to  (0,0,0)。")
	)
      )
    )
  )
  (princ)
)
(princ
  "\nenter 'SVT' to correct viewport。"
)
