I created a rectangle, fill it with solid color then create an rectangular array. To make it an image, all I need to do is to capture it (you can use SnagIt or press PrntScrn button). Or you can plot it to JPEG image. Hi Nick,

]]> Comment on 10 Reasons to Use AutoCAD Layout by Clay Wisner http://cad-notes.com/2010/10/10-reasons-to-use-autocad-layout/#comment-108365 Clay Wisner Fri, 18 May 2012 15:16:00 +0000 http://cad-notes.com/2010/10/10-reasons-to-use-autocad-layout/#comment-108365 Oh goodness. We're not "power users" at my work by any stretch, but using layout and viewports is crucial. Layer control by viewport, 2D orthagonal views of 3D objects, different scales... all so important and fast. One thing that frustrates us is that we often use dwgs provided by manufacturers in our drawings (I'm an AV Design Consultant) - I realize that not everyone uses AutoCad as their drafting program and some must not have 'paperspace' - we get dxfs drawn at 5/32, 1/2, 3/4, all sorts of annoying things instead of actual size. Of course, they don't mention that, they merely scale their dimension units accordingly - so you go to drop in a drawing of a video projector or whatever and it looks like a cell phone. Time waster! OK, rant: off. Oh goodness. We’re not “power users” at my work by any stretch, but using layout and viewports is crucial.

Can you send me the drawing so I can take a look? You can delete all other objects and just leave the hatch. Send it to edwin.prakoso@cad-notes.com Mauricia,
