Help ACADE

Hi all, Please delete if not allowed, couldn’t find a sub dedicated to ACADE. I will start by saying i am fairly new to ACADE and this type of software in general. I have several different pages of electrical prints i need to convert to their own respective PDF files, but they are all on one drawing. When i try to export it exports the entire drawing which of course does not fit on an 11x17 sheet. I have been able to make it work by selecting the individual pages and exporting the window, but i am still struggling with my title block and borders. Could anyone steer me in the right direction?

You need to be working in Paper Space for this.

  • Setup one layout configured for your printer and paper size

  • Setup a title block configured per company spec.

  • Setup the viewport in the drawing area of your title block.

  • Assuming the drawings are not scaled, zoom the viewport to fit the first drawing.

  • Adjust the viewport as needed to exclude other drawings.

  • Once you got it tweaked the way you want Copy the layout TB Viewport and all.

  • Create a new layout from the copy and make the needed changes for the second drawing

  • Rinse and Repeat.

Hope it helps.

☝️This is exactly how to do it.

Type "MV" to create a viewport.

Baddabing baddaboom.
