    Export pdf - model missing in template

    Hi, Recently when I try exporting my drawings to PDF, it prints the template but not the model space. I've never had this problem before, but now I can't seem to print the model at all. The layers are all visible and set to print (apart from defpoints which I can't change). The strange thing is...

    Origin stuck on another viewport

    Hi, For some reason my origin has moved on a separate viewport to my model. So when I draw a line on the model, the line is repeated on the other viewport but in another place (as it isn't aligned). Does anyone know how to delete other viewports without deleting the model? Thanks in advance...

    Drawing layer stuck on another viewport?

    If anyone else encounters this problem.. I realised I was drawing on top of the viewport for the model. After entering the viewport by double clicking the model - I was then able to draw in line with the model rather than on top of it!

    Drawing layer stuck on another viewport?

    Hi, I have created a drawing with multiple layers. For some reason, the last layer I have drawn seems to be under another viewport. I know this because when I select an original layer I get the message "Activate Viewport". So when I return to edit the original layers, the newest layer scale...

    The layer is turned on and the missing part is in the same layer as the other parts (which are visible).

    Disappearing border with export to pdf

    Hi, Within a sheet I created a border template for my drawing including company name, project details, date, scale etc. When I go to export the drawing to a pdf, the border disappears and I am left just with the drawing. I have used the export function before and have never come across this...

    Missing parts when inserting into assembly

    Hi, I created a sub assembly with various parts in and inserted that sub assembly into a main assembly. In the main assembly I can see most of the parts, except one part is missing throughout the drawing. In the sub assembly I checked the lines are visible and I checked the part is in the same...

    Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines

    I managed to get it to work thanks Gary.I was trying to offset a line with an infinite line, but realised you are only able to offset the original shape. Thanks again.

    Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines

    Many thanks for your quick reply Gary. I couldn't get the offset function to work with an infinite line, but it works with a standard line. Thanks for your help :) Lisa

    Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines

    Hi, I am a recent Draftsight user and am struggling to create parallel lines at angles away from the horizontal x axis. I am looking to use these parallel lines to form construction lines to use for my drawing. I was able to create parallel lines using the ortho function, but this only works...
