■ Some objects are converted or exploded in order to trim them.
■ Viewports in a layout can each have a different visual style; only a single
visual style can be used in model space.
■ Polylines with width that is clipped by the viewport boundary may not
be accurately trimmed in the exported drawing.
Recommendations
When exporting a layout to model space, consider the following:
■ The performance of the EXPORTLAYOUT command may be slower if a
model space viewport is active.
■ In the exported drawing, the viewport displays the original linetype, which
may not match the look of the original drawing. If this happens, assign
“Continuous” linetype to viewports in the original drawing.
■ Linetype scaling may not be accurately maintained for objects in xrefs and
blocks if PSLTSCALE is 0.
■ If you have a problem with xrefs during export, detach unresolved xrefs
or manually bind xrefs and then use the EXPORTLAYOUT command.
■ Superhatch objects (from Express Tools) are exported, but the hatching
may not stay within the original boundaries. You can use the TRIM
command in the exported drawing to correct any problems with visual
appearance.
To export a layout to a model space drawing
1 Click File menu ➤ Export Layout to Model.
NOTE You can use the EXPORTLAYOUT command only from a layout tab.
2 In the Export Layout to Model Space Drawing dialog box, enter a file
name.
3 Specify the location where you want to save the file. The default location
is the location of the current drawing.
4 Click Save.
