Layouts, Views, Layers Tab

Note: All lists support basic wildcard matching like "Plot" or "Layout".

Plotting From PaperSpace Options

Sets the PaperSpace Layouts to list to either:

Never display these layouts

Only display these layouts

Then you can add the various names that you do not want to display or to only display when we get the information for the DWG or DXF file.

Sets the views to list for DWG files to either:

Never display these views

Only display these views

Then you can add the various names that you do not want to display or to only display when we get the information for the DWG or DXF file.

When selected if the layout only contains a single viewport it will still be plotted.

Otherwise we consider these layouts to be invalid because AutoCAD will

automatically add a layout to older drawings when it opens them in AutoCAD.

If the layout contains two viewports or any other AutoCAD object

(line, text, block reference) then we will consider it valid regardless of this setting.

If no valid layouts are found in the drawing then we will automatically convert

the modelspace instead. This is very useful for AutoCAD 13 and older

drawings that didn't have paperspace layouts but may have been opened

in AutoCAD and resaved to a newer version.

Also the Always Display or Never Display settings in the Plottting From

PaperSpace Options override this setting. So if you tell us to Always Display

the Layout1 then we will even if we think it is invalid.

Create a list of layers to never plot in the DWG or DXF file.

Create a list of layers to always plot even if they are turned off in the DWG or DXF file.
