synchronize viewports

Hans Elevelt

Hello, is it possible to synchronize viewports in a layout-tab? (AutoCAD Express tool: VPSYNC)

Express Tools for Bricscad (freeware) are available in the Applications Catalog. I haven't checked but the VPSYNC tool may be part of that package. Note that viewports can have any shape. So in many cases combining two or more viewports to create a polygonal shape, requiring VPSYNC to line them up, is not necessary.

Beste Roy, bedankt voor je snelle reactie.
Had echter deze tools al gedownload voor een Trial van V12. heb nu Trial V13 en wil hem aanschaffen naast AutocadLT2013 vanwege de verschillende Lisp-routines (Express en de hulpjes van Nordined) die ik dan kan gebruiken, wat het leven zoveel makkelijker maakt.... :-)

Deze handige hulpjes (ken je ze?) van Nordined werken echter niet meteen op Bricscad; je schijnt eerst enkele programmaregels te moeten wijzigen.

Werk je zelf volledig met Bricscad? Hoe is je ervaring t.o.v. Autocad?

PS je hoeft niet te antwoorden, natuurlijk, als je er geen zin/tijd in hebt.

Groeten en bedankt.

Hans, you are right: Lisp-programs can make the life of a drafter much easier. I am not familiar with Nordined. If I need a Lisp-tool I will usually program it myself. In fact, on my website some freeware Lisp-based tools that I have created are available.

For the .dwg-format I only use Bricscad. Although the first CAD-program that I have used was Autocad, I have no hands-on experience with any recent versions of that program. So I am unable to compare AC2013 with BC13.

Question: Is the VPSYNC tool part of the Bricscad Express Tools?

... Something went wrong with the link to my website: www.b-k-g.nl

... Something went wrong again. You will just have to copy/paste the URL.

@ Moderator:
Something is wrong with 'Link' feature. The URL is prefixed with "https://www.bricsys.com/protected/common/".
BTW: Nice new look for the website.

Just standard behaviour I'm afraid.
You have to add the protocol (http://) in front of the link. You can just as well direct to ftp sites for downloads etc.

I'll fix the links to your site in the previous posts.

@ Ignace: Thank you.
