2005LT mspace to pspace?
« on: March 17, 2005, 12:24:12 PM »
We have MANY dwgs that are totally in mspace - no pspace what so ever.

We have recently adopted the policy that EVERYTHING is to be in pspace, to allow for viewports, if needed for some rare reason.

My question is - Is there an EASY way of changing these dwgs to pspace without copyclip'ing everything from mspace and pasting into a NEW dwg that is set up in pspace?

(These are from 2005LT to 2005LT rev.)

Not in LT...but what do you mean by "everything"?

By 'EVERYTHING' I mean our title block, wiring diagrams, system layout, etc.... (We have our reasons) :roll:

The ONLY time that we use viewports is for our Security division, when we pasted floor plans into our title block. - (with a few RARE exceptions for our HVAC dept.)

CUT-N-PASTE works.

'CUT-N-PASTE' is the way I have been doing it. :(

I was HOPING that there was an AutoCad command that made it easier / quicker. - Something I could use a batch routine on.

Do you have access to 1 copy of Autocad?  It could be done in VBA real easily, using a script file to open , process, close.
