anyone use autocad?

Another thing, if you dont want the viewport contour lines to show on the plot:

- make a new layer
- draw the viewports on that layer, or change them to it
- after drawing all vports, and scaling, etc, freeze the layer, that way the viewport lines wont print....

 

oh, and last advice:

toss autocad

get archicad.....

 

no go. i dont even have that option. i tried to make a pline into a viewport so i could make my own shape, but autocad would have no part of that.
oh well. maybe you can only do it on later versions.

autocad is great for 2-d. ive been using it since 1996! once i started the electrical trade my usage dropped 95% though. once in a while we will get a drawing that i have to make. i am the only one that knows autocad so its a little job security
