Layout Creation:

For creating layouts, there are two different approaches, using the Ribbon or the Dialog.

In order to create Layouts using the Dialog follow the instructions:

  • Type in command line the command “LCrAss” and hit Return key;
  • In the opened Dialog choose the “Layout Creation” Tab;
  • Fill all the options as desired (choose a Paper Layout, Plot Style, change the sequential naming options and specify the quantity of layouts to be created);
  • Click on Create Button.

To use the Ribbon:

  • Click on the Layout Creation Assistant Ribbon tab. If the tab is not visible you can type the command “GoToLCrAssRibbonTab” on command line;
  • Fill all the options on the Layout Creation Ribbon Form as necessary and click on Create.

For creating viewports, there are two different approaches, using the Ribbon or the Dialog.

In order to create Viewports using the Dialog follow the instructions:

  • Type in command line the command “LCrAss” and hit Return key;
  • In the opened Dialog choose the “Viewports Creation” Tab;
  • Fill all the options as desired (choose the size and position of the viewports and in which Layout it will be created);
  • Click on one of the Create Buttons: (“Rotated UCS” will give you the option to choose exactly how will be the viewport view projection on Modelspace; “Catch Model View” will create the viewport as the user last left the Model view).

To use the Ribbon:

  • Click on the Layout Creation Assistant Ribbon tab. If the tab is not visible you can type the command “GoToLCrAssRibbonTab” on command line;
  • Fill all the options on the Viewports Creation Ribbon Form as necessary and click on Create Viewport (this option is equal to the option “Rotated UCS” described above).

Other Options:

Layout Creation Assistant has several other options for customization and dynamic entities:

  • Each created Viewport, Polyline and Grid will trigger a Ribbon Tab when selected to make easier to apply changes, navigate, see properties and more.
  • You have a dedicated Tab in Autodesk® AutoCAD® Default options dialog with several settings for customizing Layout Creation Assistant;
  • The App will store your settings so you can keep using them on different drawings.

Ismert problémák

Sometimes, created viewports may not be showing the ModelSpace, in this cases just swap to ModelSpace tab and then return to the previous Layout Tab.

There are no other major issues known, but if you experience any performance problem you can disable the dynamic links anytime. Just type LCrAssOptions on the command line and after the dialog is opened turn the setting "Link_On" to Off.

While the links are disabled you can continue creating Layouts, Viewports and editing Title Block Attributes but the dynamic functions - such as contextual ribbons, link between entities and persistency over different sections (open and close) - won't work anymore.
