@ATCCAD I watched your videos and learned a lot from it , I think autocad is a sea, and we have very little knowledge about the software, Thank you very much for teaching us a great tutorial.
Davin, thank you for these videos. Possible TLDR; I began with Microstion in the late 80's (Loved it!). Forced (kicking and screaming) into ACAD early 90's. Made the best of ACAD by learning customization, LISP and some VBA. Switched to BricsCAD when the subscription debacle began, and for my own business (again Love it). Fate, karma or just luck now has me on AcadLT 2024. Thank the gods, it now supports LISP. Your videos are helping me get back into the nuances of AcadLT. Much appreciated!!!! Furthermore, I absolutely enjoy your style of instruction / narration - no fluff, down to business, and is what it is. In the end, CAD is CAD; at least between ACAD vs Brics. ACAD has Dynamic Blocks; BricsCAD has the QUAD cursor. If I could only combine the two....... I look forward to more of your content. Again, thank you!!!!!
Thank you for your nice comment! And also thank you for teaching me about the quad cursor. I've never used BricsCAD before. I may have to play around with it It reminds me a bit of Microstation. You are definitely right, CAD is CAD. And I'm also super happy that LT had Lisp now too! Thanks again!
Davin, I have several named views I'm using for my layouts but sometimes when I go to choose one I won't get the viewport outline around the named view and then if I drop it in I can't see the boundaries and I can't edit the window. Other times it works just fine. I have the defpoints layer on. What am I screwing up? Any help would be appreciated.
It's not a good idea to put viewports on the defpoints layer. That layer is specifically for dimensions (the definition point of it). Instead, make your own non-print layer. I name mine viewport. Set that to non-print and you should have a better time with it. If you're still having trouble after that, make sure you don't have an available update for AutoCAD. If you're still having issues.... Let me know!
Good question! The answer is, yes, but it's not in the ribbon. (For reasons that are likely very stupid). You can type the command "MVIEW" the then choose the "NEW" option in the command line. I've submitted this as a Feature Request on the Autodesk forums, because it NOT being there is just silly.
@@ATCCAD Thanks for responding! After fiddling around, like 30 min after I posted this question, I figured it out haha. Agreed, its very silly. I went from just regular AutoCAD to AutoCAD architecture for a new job and was confused when I couldn't find it. Thank you again, much appreciated!

Hi There! Do you know if this feature is available in autocad architecture? i cant seem to find it anywhere. thank you!
