You can hide viewport border by placing a viewport on a new layer where you click to disable the print symbol on layer property list =)

This channel is really really awesome and the tutor or trainer is an abundant knowledge source of AutoCAD. I really thank to this channel and particularly trainer, I learnt a lot of things about the AutoCAD from this channel. #SourceCAD

Thank you for helping get to the page setup for me, that was really helpful for me because I have learned how to save my drawing on the viewport in autocad.

Hey bro ! I am a movie maker. But in these recent days I beca a sick fan of Alan Walker. I researched 'bout Nice tutorialm and got to know that

[@user-dl6pu3tb8p]

Your video was one of the most useful in the field of layout I have ever seen! good luck! and a question please: The unit of drawing is imperial (inch) but the scale drop-down list in status bar is not in inch unit! How to change scale list like metric unit, whilst the unit of drawing is imperial?

hello sir, i like your way of explaining the things of autocad so will you please make a autocad related video series , then by using i will learn autocad as like professional designer and work in any architect firm .

[@Elliesdesign]

[@idris1968]

Can add some videos how to resolve common issues with ACAD such as 1) while opening a file some random notifications such layers not found 2) ACAD Options menu how we can set styles etc. 3) Standard Style Set ( corporate acad lines style set) how can be removed and reloaded 4) Is there a shortcut way to increase typing efficiency and increase output? 4) How to resolve if acad dwg freezes or not working? 5) Is there good style print ctb file which can be used for the quick and legible print?

[@sourcecad]

This is a really great suggestion! I have added it to my upcoming video list and I will publish one or two videos related to these topics.

[@bst8989]

hello, Thank you for the video, very useful. i just have a question.If you have 2 or 3 viewports in a sheet and they are in different scales, how can we have all dimensions in same size in terms of text size? in your video your dimensions text size are different. Thank you

[@iftekharkhan8879]

Hi ...At time 2.06...u r telling whatever ur units in the drawing is put that unit here while praparing layout and set 1:1...but what happnd when my drawing is in meter or km ...bcoz there r only twoo option inch and mm.??thanku sir

[@nooramin8676]

Sir god bles you

[@MrMegatrashid]

Good toturial thanks

[@Sodano69]

Would you always recommend placing dimensions in the viewport?

[@rajendranpillai4833]

Good morning sir 🙏, Greetings of the day! First of all, appreciate your way of presentations. According to fixing the scale, still I have some doubts on it that as are as follows. 1. When we prepare a drawing in mm as 1:1 and covert it into 1:100, then when we measuring this is in a printed paper will get 1mm=100mm , is it right? And, the same thing ,if it is inches then covert it into 1:100 so 1inch = 100 inches Or will it be in same 100mm. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day! Regards, Rajendran

[@willmitchell255]

Exactly the wrong way to set up AutoCAD Layout ! The layout depicts actual paper sizes - you don't create a layout and then scale/stretch borders to suit - that's not how it works. Layouts are for real printable paper sizes like A1, A2, A3 etc etc You draw or import a standard paper size in layout at the size you want to print. Add border, title whatever - That's why it used to be called PaperSpace ! Then you use a viewport and set it to the scale you want to print the model at. Good point earlier about non-plotting layer for a viewport - turn the plot layer off. I always set my viewport layer to color 30 Once the viewport and layout are scaled and aligned properly then lock the view port so it doesn't get changed by accident. You can scale the viewport easily by clicking on the edge of it and changing the scale in properties.

[@Axilleas1]

I want to ask you about the autocad preview. How to preview a paper (whatever size) in autocad as it would be in reality? For instance, let's say I want to print in a A0 size paper but I am not sure if the text is big enough. I don't want waste this big sized paper just to test if the text is readable. I remember in autocad 2007 you could preview the actual size of the paper as well. In this way you could change the scale or the text size or the lineweight before you print it.

[@willmitchell255]

@@Axilleas1 The Plot command has a preview option in the bottom left hand corner. You can use this option in both Model and Layout view.

[@Axilleas1]

@@willmitchell255 This does not answer my question. This is not what I asked. I am asking how to preview an actual paper size (let's say A4) in autocad?

[@amaasa29]

very helpful

[@iftekharkhan8879]

In this drawing ur drawing is in inches and ur paper is in mm so we have to convert the units or just leave ??while making plotting at 2.26 time

I have a question… hope you can answer it as soon as possible. Whenever I start putting my floor plan in the layout there is this grid like lines in the background of my drawing… it seems like the grid lines in the model happens to appear in the layout. How can I change or make it disappear in my layout?

[@nicholaswilliams2610]

hi i have a question. i keep doing all of that, but whenever i add the drawing to my template, it comes with the grid lines. how do i get rid of the grid lines??? thanks

[@aakashkalyani]

Please type the grid command and choose on or off. If dynamic input is not enabled, use the command line for entering the command.

[@Thundercraft190]

Hi when I scale 1:100 my drawing is very small and barely visible. What causes this is something wrong in model view?

Hi..why is my drawing so small in the correct scale amd on the atchitects refermce, their dwg looks rather big. Also my file is similar in size of my refernce yet in my a1 sheet 1:50 is shifted to the corner

[@4799balaji]

When I check the dimension of the white page in the layout, The dimensions displayed is different from what I set up in Page setup manager. For example, in page setup manager if I set it to be 210 X 297 mm , The dimension of the white page between those dotted margins shows 22'X 16'-9'' instead of 8.3'' X 11.7''. What am I doing wrong?

[@4799balaji]

Never mind, I setup the Scale: to Custom instead of 1:1
