Is there a way to control/arrange the order of the models in modelspace when I export multiple viewports on a sheet to Autocad?

They seem to be placed at random in modelspace which kinda mess upp my def:s in AutoCad...

The example contains a sheet export with the viewports placed correctly in paperspace, left to right, but in modelspace they are placed top to bottom.

Any tips, ideas, workarounds?

Sorry...of course it's the other way around. The paperspace is correct with top to bottom and the modelspace displays wrong with left to right...

Maybe I should get my lefts and rights sorted before tryin' anything else :o)

You will have to live with this I think but you might experiment with the order the views are placed on the sheet.

I really would not care what they are ion model space.

Already tried to move around viewports, the order seems to be at random either way they're displayed. Was hoping for constructive workaround or somethin'

Don't wanna live with it and I refuse too :o)

It messes up our "sheets" in AutoCad...and to change it in AutoCad...well it's like it always is with that program...like drawing in Paint using MsDos...

I suggest you re-read my answer because what I told you to try works.  You did not do that.

To repeat... " you might experiment with the order the views are placed on the sheet "  The order they are in model space is according to that order.

Understood what you ment :o) Thanks...it's probably my english which is at fault.

But what I want to to is not possible...according to Autodesk. Unfortunately... But our company is startin' to program this function since there're apparently many companys asking for this. Impatient swedes refuses a no...

Thanks anyway!
