HI Brandon, i am really impressed by your content i learnt alot. but is there something by which i can paste a block or any object on mutiple layouts in one go.

[@kevinmckinney3625]

Thank you

[@SuporteBIM]

that's great!! I have just one small issue: when I exported my layouts to the existing drawing as a new tab layout, my content in model space didn't show up. Am I missing something, or should I export something else?

[@Itsgurunath]

Very nice information.
I need one information how to create a template with different layouts as you shown in video. Please do help me

I’m building a homebuilt airplane and the plans have templates for cutting out the different parts,how can I make those templates and convert them into a cad file so can get them cnc cut out to save on cutting them out by hand?

[@Dannyboboboi.]

Hi Brandon, I have a question. I want to put 2 different drawings in different scales ( for example 1:20, 1:50 ) in one paper space. I created 2 viewports and changed the scale. But the text size is different in both viewports. How can I make the text height same for both viewports? Could you please help me with this? Thanks

[@lorinhussein137]

You could use the function 'allign' if im not mistaken

[@robertmrivera]

As an experienced AutoCAD designer I recently got stumped. I created a block and as I saved it I saw the object briefly appear at an angle. Later all the architectural tick marks on the linear dimensions were replaced by the block I created. I panicked and tried created a duplicate dim style but could not bring back the arch tick marks. End up deleting and purging the dimstyle and inserting a clean version by xrefing a previous file. Long story short, I never used ADC but now I will. So, my question is if I use ADC to bring a dimstyle that has the same name (ARCH DIM) will the new imported style overwrite the old? Or will I have to purge it first?

[@Cadintentions]

Definitely worth trying ADC! It should overwrite the existing style. There will be a prompt to confirm you'd like to overwrite the existing one I believe.

[@robertmrivera]

@@Cadintentions thanks for your comment. I will try it out with the old file.

[@youknowwhatidontknow3461]

[@roylam-knowdesignn9240]
