No some drawings have Multiple Vp's...enlarged room plans mostly.
So you'll still have to deal with layer control in different viewports.
which is another petpeave of mine.
?why?
Just is. I dont like mess.[/quote]What mess? A messy drawing has absolutly nothing to do with layout tabs.
Ask the architect why they draft laike crap, and leave elements all over the place. I have found elevations there, differant furniture layouts...notes to themselves...things have no purpose what so ever...why..they are architects...ask them. I just clean it up.
But that has nothing at all to do with multiple layout tabs.
If there is a T-101b and T-101c and you use layout tabs you have to remeber that those are in the same T-101 file and my mind is not all that good....You're joking, right?
Why would I joke.
Dunno, but my question was about remebering that file T-101 had T-101a, b, & c in it. I mean that's pretty basic isn't it?
I just never like the Tabs. I think they are pointless.
Until you have a road modification that spans 12 miles and 32 sheets. Then you might see that they work very well for controlling matchlines and saving time when making a similar mod several times over several drawings..
Or maybe a 3D modle of a 600,000s.f., six level equipment structure. Then you'll learn to love multiple tabs.
doesnt make the overall file size of the project anyless,
When working on models that are 50-60MB, a couple of K for layouts is not worth thinking about.
caused me aggrivation when plotting. Yes I know there are programs to help with this, but really when is enough enough with the add-ons... keep it simple. If you can use a script why not. I mean the program that "helps" you print is basically useing a lisp or a script file anyways. So really what is the differance.
The difference is using one that works well with multiple tabs vs. using one that doesn't. If you have the time to burn, manipulating the supplied files, I guess go ahead. But we don't have budgets with that kind of fat.
are you going to try to flame for that too.
If you think this is a flame, you've not been paying attention. I'm merely asking you to test your notions before chiseling them in stone.
...but why bother when there is script pro.
My point wasn't about Script-pro, I use it as well. But there are other methods available that work with multiple tabs.
I got the code that was needed to make my life alittle more bearable.
untill the next sheet space advancement, anyway.
Sorry bad mood today!
When?? Where??
