Layout problem (same change in all of them)

[dani_cs]

Hello, I know that my questions are too difficult, so sorry...

well, I'd like to ask you if you know a method to apply changes in layouts. For example I have 50 layouts, and the title box changes, so now I have to modify the graphic window because it does not adjust to the title box, so I have to repeat that change many times. Is there a lisp able to recognize the changes I did in one layout and apply them in the others? The coordenates and the objects are the same in all layouts. And I refer to all kind of changes (move elements, delete elemenets, scale elemenets...) all into all layouts. I don't know if it is possible.

Best regards,

Daniel.

Daniel,

do you mean 'title box' is 'title block'? then you have no problem here

graphic window is Viewport?

It doesn't recognize any changes, but there is a lisp that will allow you to copy anything from 1 layout to all the others.

copy to layouts

Hello moshe,

with title box I refer where I can see the name, scale... I supposed it's called title block. 

And with graphic window I refer to viewport, yes.

And that's my question. My title block changes, and now the viewport does not adjust to the title block and sheet margin, so I have to readjust it with its vertex in all layouts. Changing one, can I apply to all? not copy to all because I have to delete the previous bad viewport in all layouts then, you know.

best regards.

Daniel,

i hope when you are saying 50 layouts you do not mean that amount in one dwg cause you will be suffering from poor autocad preformance.

tell you what i would do in your case. i choose a standard sheet size (A1, A0, or any other suitted size) and a suitted title block and populate it to all my layouts and stick with it.

Hello,

Yes, i knew that routine. It's very useful. But, if my viewport size changes, I can modify one, and then copying to others layouts, but I would have to delete the previous viewport in each layouts, because the size is wrong, for example. I dont know if it's possible, but my idea is to recognize a modified object (same position in each layout, and same object of course), to modify it and to apply that change into all layouts,

Best regards,

Hello Moshe-A,

in some drawings i have 30 or more layouts, but I use 3 drawing or more, so I have 100 or more layouts hehe (a highway allignment for example). But sometimes, the client changes the title block and the margin, so I have to modify each viewport of all layouts because the drawing is on the title block text, so if i have 100 drawings, i have to waste many minutes, hehe,

more or less, do you see what i need?

 best regards,

daniel

I often don't respond with what people want to hear.  This sounds like a research project for which few of us have time to spend, unless it's our own [project].

It strikes me that you must advise your client that his revisions cost you time and then bill him accordingly.

The first rule my Economics 1.01 professor taught us was TANSTAAFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.)
