2. I am an interior design student. I am trying to get a perspective in camera view printed.
3. I am pretty knowledgeable of autoCAD I have been working on it for about a year. just never had to print from a camera view. I guess i could say i know about most commands and can design what i need to to accomplish the work i need.


the question
How do I print the camera view? I have the camera set up and everything just like I want it to be printed just don't know how to get it to paper space so that I can print it... what do I do.... I need this printed soon....PLEASE help!!!

Answer
Hi -- I am SLAMMED today, but I didn't want to leave you hanging.

I have not installed 2010 yet, so I am going to reply based on prior knowlege. (Please don't rate me low -- I could have clicked the "outside my expertise" box, but I wanted to at least give you a start.) My main point is to guide people in how to find their own help next time.

Cameras, etc are VERY different in 2010, BUT  I will take my best stab.

1-- You can print the view. Your problem is to get it into a layout (PS), so you can print it like the rest of your views. In the worst case, you could print it to an image file and insert it onto a sheet --- or even print it on plain paper to scale and paste that onto your title block, then Xerox it so it looks like one sheet, for presentation purposes.
2-- If you create the view and switch from MS to layout, can't you see the view? (Again, I can't, sorry, stop and read up on 2010 today.)
3-- What happens if you create the camera view through a VP, by going into MS from the VP?

I tried Google, no help --- but try different wording.

Did you check out online tutorials?  The new features workshop under HELP?

If you are still stuck, go HERE and post the question --- someone will know. Perhaps give a few more clues to what you are doing.  If your question is clear, you will probably get replies at once.

Good luck --- I must go back to my deadline. As I asked, please give me a good rating if you rate me: I get mostly 10s, but once in awhile a sourpuss is angry that I cant solve everything for free.
