Graphic File Generation

I am in charge of the site drawings in a shipyard. Due to the yard being in change most of the time the drawings are all xreffed to
a master plan and are drawn in paperspace with the drawing sheet and some details in paperspace and the drawing subjects and the
site plan xref in modelspace.

I often get requests for drawings in a graphic file form - I usually use .wmf inserted into a word doc.

However when I generate the .wmf file I can only get either the paperspace objects or the modelspace objects to show.

I have been using the work around method of converting the drawing to all modelspace by cutting & pasting all the paperspace
objects at scale to modelspace but this is a pain in the butt because it requires a new drawing file to be created. (and of course a
white background to be configured in autoCAD)

Is there some trick to be able to get both paper and modelspace objects to display in the exported file?

 

Have you tried printing as a pdf
and then insert the pdf in the word document

You could also print to pdf and them convert the pdf direct to doc using
"Fine Reader".
