lbuttery Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I don't think so many times asked for - but ??? one trick is to send b/w to keep it live and scaled then make a color .jpg and import on same page then using a corner handle for the .jpg size it over the b/w view Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Hi In Chief X6 can you send cross section - elevation views to layout, in scale, in colour, as I can only seem to send in black & white line with no colour thanks Rob Yes, it can be done quite easily. I credit this method to Wendy Welton who introduced this method along time ago. I also went over this awhile back at one of our user group meetings. 1. Take the elevation you want. 2. Send it to the layout as "Current Screen As Image". This will be a colored image. 3. Switch back to the elevation and be sure NOT TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE ON YOUR SCREEN (DO NOT ZOOM IN OR OUT), 4, Send that elevation (current screen, not current screen as image), to the layout at what ever scale you want. This will be a vector view with no color. 5. In the layout, open the scaled vector view and see what the width is. Make note of it or paste it to your Windows clip board. 6. Now open the color image in the layout and change the width so that it matches the vector view. Be sure to maintain the ratio or keep it concentric. 7. Reposition the images as needed on your layout. Delete the vector elevation if you want. Now you have a scaled color elevation in color. Keep in mind that it is an image and not an elevation that can be updated.
