Reading this:
https://qcad.org/en/tutorial-working-wi ... #Viewports
and my excellent Qcad book which I highly recommend, however I need some guidance here.
My job (thus the goal) is to quickly take a set of 2D plans or create a very basic 2D plan and layout electrical power, lighting, communications and mechanical work for field crews.
I either import or create these layouts, each as its own as layer.
Then I one by one export to PDF the layers I need with the other layers switched off.
I know there is a better way. I poked around under preferences and got 3 or 4 different 'viweports' but thats not what I need.
I am fine with editing the whole thing in 1:1 model space but would like to print combinations of layers and scales as different pages.
My questions:
- whats the best way to do this?
- How do I define a view? (like the orange dashed line in the above tutorial) I added a view and can now see V2 and V1 on my drawing (attached), however cant figure out how put anything in V1.
- Can I even use view's to create a different paper space scale for a detail of particular room or building?
- Can I print a combination of layers as different pages at different scales?
Sample attached
(I stripped the drawing down so the detail layers are present but empty)
Many thanks
