Scripting ChangeSpace

[David_Moreau]

Hi-

Is it possible to bring an object into paper space without doing something like rs.command(-changespace)?

I would like to script the creation of a section cut and then bring it into paper space. The section cut part I have figured out but I haven’t found a way to bring it into paper space without resorting to rs.command.

Thanks.

Couldn’t you just create a layout and set it to the section that you just created?

Python Script to Create Layout / Detail Creation and Setting View for Detail

Hows it going guys ! I am trying to create a python script to create layouts and create details within the layouts. After that setting the view of the details to drafting templates within the cad environment (in top view). I can isolate the curve identifiers along with the curve points for each drafting template. But I do not know how to modify the view of the detail itself. I can create the layout, create the detail to the specified layout size, but I cant modify the view of the detail. I chec…

If you create it programmatically, I don’t think that Rhino will auto-switch to layout view.

It’s fine if I have to select the layout manually.

The workflow I’m thinking of is create clipping plane → script creates sections and processes with hatches etc for clipping plane → create layout and detail → script enables construction plane and brings section into paper space on selected detail.

I have a version that keeps the section cut in model space and it was difficult to manage the layers in each detail.
