Hi. I would like to fit my Layout A3 to my Model/Viewport without having the layout boundary that comes by default: [image] I do not want that boundary line in the PDF export or printouts. I have prepared my technical drawing in the model viewport like this: [image] I want the layout to fit in…

I could solve the number one point by simply choosing “no print” on the frame layer. What I still do not understand is why it is not possible to align the detail view frame to the actual lines of my drawing, so that when printing the tech drawings, I can achieve a proper layout. Thank you

Hi Bruno - [image] Brunosouth: What I still do not understand is why it is not possible to align the detail view frame to the actual lines of my drawing, so that when printing the tech drawings, I can achieve a proper layout. I’m not completely understanding the issue here. I see that you h…

Hi @wim What I am trying to do is this: I would like to be able to snap my work to the detail frame. Is that possible?

Regarding point 2, enter the Detail and with nothing selected, in the Properties panel click Set camera, make sure to have “Cen” Osnap on, then then find the A3 border in the model space and go near it to get the Cen snap.

Hi Bruno - [image] Brunosouth: Is that possible? That is not possible, no. -wim

Do you recommend doing all the “page” template on the detail frame and not in the model one?

Definitely, in model space, you should only have the curves that make up the drawing itself. You can have dimensions there too, it makes some things easier but it also has drawbacks. But the title block (both the borders and text) and the page border should always be in the layout space. After you …

_Changespace? Did not know that. Thank you! Dimensions on the detial window doesn’t seem right since they will be unbounded from the drawing in itself. So any movement (except when you locked it) will mismatch the dimensions. What is the advantage of having them on the detail window? Thank you a l…

Hi Bruno - [image] Brunosouth: Dimensions on the detial window doesn’t seem right since they will be unbounded from the drawing in itself. No, they won’t. If you are running into a case where that happens, we’ll need steps to reproduce that. Posting a file where dimensions no longer update …

Well, it happens if you have “Update Children” under History turned off. That’s of course a feature, not a bug. But it’s a complication if you have it off by default and only turn it on on those few occasions when History is actually useful because on the other hand, you often do not want to have it…
