Ok well there's gotta be some people in here that knows CAD.

I just have a minor problem that I cant figure out.

I have a project drawing that needs to be plotted and I dont know how to accomplish it. Im doing a 3d model that has to be plotted with a border and title block. Thing is, how do you plot 3d with iso views with a title block and border.

Im not that good at using cad yet so Im in need of some help.

If I insert the 3d drawing into my paper space with the title block the drawing wont go 3d. One example my exploded view, if I click the iso view, the title block shifts into iso with the object and I dont want that. I just want the 3d to go iso.

I tried model space and doing viewports but when you do that, you reinsert the whole thing with the title block.

In short, I just want to plot my 3d drawing with my border and title block but I cant get it to do that. The border and title block goes iso with my 3d drawing.

Someone please help!

Yea but the iso views print with the viewport box's around them.

Imma play around with it some more.

put the viewport boxes on the defpoints layer

Man I REALLY do appreciate that offer but it isn't, kinda.

It's for my projects class so that I can graduate. I chose to draw a 1 man inflatable pontoon. I needed detail drawings along with full assembly and exploded drawings. The detail drawings are easy but its just getting the 3d full and exploded drawings that are getting me. I just cant manage to plot the drawings.

Can u change the viewport box to not print / hide them in the layers palette?

I have no idea. I usually dont really play with the layers.

If anything with layers, its just for text, centerline, and hidden lines.

Im still just a basic user.

I think going to have to go the ghetto way. Im going to plot my title block and border then run it through again this time plotting only my 3d object scaled to fit my sheet size.
