i would like to change the properties of layouts with ezdxf. There is a function called page_setup, but it is not working in my case. This is a minimal example created from the API. What is wrong with my approach?
import ezdxf
# Create a new DXF document.
doc = ezdxf.new(dxfversion="R2010", setup=True)
doc.units = ezdxf.units.M
# Create new table entries (layers, linetypes, text styles, ...).
doc.layers.add("TEXTLAYER", color=0)
# DXF entities (LINE, TEXT, ...) reside in a layout (modelspace,
# paperspace layout or block definition).
msp = doc.modelspace()
# Add entities to a layout by factory methods: layout.add_...()
msp.add_line((0, 0), (20, 0), dxfattribs={"color": 0})
msp.add_text(
"Test",
dxfattribs={
"layer": "TEXTLAYER"
}).set_pos((0, 0.2), align="CENTER") #halign, valign
# Create Layout
psp = doc.layout("Layout1")
psp.page_setup(size=(297, 210),
margins=(0, 0, 0, 0),
units="mm", offset=(0, 0),
rotation=0, scale=16,
name="ezdxf ",
device="DWG to PDF.pc3")
a4_x = 21
a4_y = 29.7
a4_x = a4_x * 0.01
a4_y = a4_y * 0.01
# Add viewport
psp.add_viewport(
center=(a4_x*(0.5),a4_y*(0.5)),
size=(a4_x,a4_y),
view_center_point=(0,0),
view_height=100)
# Needs to be done twice for some reason
psp.add_viewport(
center=(a4_x*(0.5),a4_y*(0.5)),
size=(a4_x,a4_y),
view_center_point=(0,0),
view_height=100)
# Save as File
doc.saveas("test.dxf")
I assume you got your example from an outdated documentation.
I refactored your example so it works with the latest version of
ezdxf
.
from typing import cast
import ezdxf
from ezdxf.layouts import Paperspace
from ezdxf.enums import TextEntityAlignment
doc = ezdxf.new(dxfversion="R2010", setup=True)
doc.units = ezdxf.units.M
doc.layers.add("TEXTLAYER", color=0)
msp = doc.modelspace()
msp.add_line((0, 0), (20, 0), dxfattribs={"color": 0})
msp.add_text("Test", dxfattribs={"layer": "TEXTLAYER"}).set_placement(
(0, 0.2), align=TextEntityAlignment.CENTER
)
# get the existing (default) "Layout1":
psp = cast(Paperspace, doc.layout("Layout1"))
a4_width = 210
a4_height = 297
# reset page properties:
psp.page_setup(size=(a4_width, a4_height), margins=(0, 0, 0, 0))
# add a new viewport to the paperspace:
psp.add_viewport(
# center of viewport in paperspace:
center=(a4_width * 0.5, a4_height * 0.5),
# size of the viewport in paperspace:
size=(a4_width, a4_height),
# Define the portion of the modelspace to show.
# center in modelspace:
view_center_point=(0, 0),
# the view height to show in modelspace units:
view_height=100,
# The view width is proportional to the viewport size!
)
doc.saveas("test.dxf")
