This is a universal solution.

AutoViewport - Automatic creation layouts and viewport 
Main functions: 
- automatic creation layouts; 
- creation of rectangular viewports on layouts; 
- creation of rotated viewports on layouts; 
- selection of required layout name; 
- select print settings for layout.

Hello, 

I'm struggling to make this lisps work for me too, but as I don't kno how to program in lisps I can't figure out what's the matter. What is the command for this lisp?  or should it do the job automatically as soon as I load it from 'Load Application' in Autocad? 

thank you very much ,

Gesana

Hello,

 

I am looking to use a very similar program to create automated layouts with viewports.  Would you be able to take a look at my test dwg file and make a few adjustments for this to work with the title block I have created?  any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

Will

Q:What is js_aro10? 

A: Js_aro10 save mypid-address for all functions. When your "pp_sudhakar99919_jsaro10.vlx" crash, or bug-error, you type (princ setmypid) [enter] at line-command. You search (eg: "C083" )inside the file pp_sudhakar99919_jsaro10.lsp and you, will found fast-speed the Error-Location.

Q: How to Testing ?

A:You open attrib.dwg and appload.

You execute "pp_sudhakar99919_jsaro10.lsp" . You see winlogon.gif.

, work fine, you test "pp_sudhakar99919_default.lsp" with attrib.dwg

Looks fantastic, I have tried this with a metric system template in Civil3d and it does not work, very much appreciated if you can have a look at my sample attached, maybe something I am missing or a units thing?

Thanks
