Function Syntax: ExpImpNVU Version: 1 Date: 02.10.2025 AI+https://jtbworld.com/autocad-viewsio-lsp Function Syntax: Exp_Imp_NamedViews Command Name: ExpImpNVU, NVVIEWSIO, ExportViews, ImportViews SEO Friendly Description 🧭 Exp_Imp_NamedViews is an AutoCAD AutoLISP utility for exporting and importing Named Views between DWG drawings. 📤 The tool saves AutoCAD VIEW definitions to a TXT file and also captures linked VISUALSTYLE records when a view references a visual style. 📥 The import workflow recreates saved views with entmake and rebuilds visual style records with entmakex where required. 📌 This is useful for AutoCAD users, Civil 3D production teams, BIM coordinators, CAD managers, and drafting teams that need consistent view navigation across multiple project drawings. Main Workflow 🚀 Run ExpImpNVU to open the NamedViews Import/Export Tools Options dialog. 📤 Choose Export NamedViews to write the drawing Named Views to a TXT file. 📥 Choose Import NamedViews to read an exported TXT file and recreate the saved views in the current drawing. 📁 Select a predefined Named_Views folder such as Beu Named_Views, La Named_Views, Npl Named_Views, or Bis Named_Views when available. 🧭 The suggested file name is based on the current DWG name, making project based view transfer easier. Functionalities 🧭 Named View export - scans the AutoCAD VIEW table and writes saved views to an external TXT file. 🎨 Visual Style support - exports linked VISUALSTYLE data once when a Named View references it. 📥 Named View import - recreates VIEW records in the active drawing from the exported TXT data. 🧩 DXF cleanup logic - removes handle, owner, and link codes such as 5, 330, 348, and 360 before export so import can rebuild clean records. 📁 Predefined folder picker - provides fast access to common Named_Views project folders. 💾 Registry folder memory - stores the last used folder under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JTBWorld\viewsIO. 🖥️ Explorer helper - opens the fixed LISP support folder directly from the dialog. 📝 Notepad++ helper - opens the fixed Exp_Imp_NamedViews LISP file for quick editing. 🔄 Reload helper - reloads the fixed LISP file from the configured support path. 📋 Help and clipboard tools - includes copy selected, copy all, copy path, and Unicode toggle tools in the help dialog. ⌨️ Command-line alternatives - supports -ExportViews and -ImportViews for non-dialog workflows. Important Commands and Helpers 🧰 ExpImpNVU - main DCL dialog command for choosing export or import mode. 🔁 NVVIEWSIO - alias that launches the same main dialog. 📤 ExportViews - GUI export command and core export routine name. 📥 ImportViews - GUI import command and core import routine name. 💾 save-persisted-folder and get-persisted-folder - store and read the last Named Views folder from the registry. 🧩 dropCodes - removes problematic DXF association codes before writing export data. Practical Result ✅ The final result is a faster AutoCAD workflow for reusing Named Views, transferring saved view setups, preserving related Visual Styles, standardizing drawing navigation, and reducing manual view recreation across project DWG files. 🚀 This SEO-friendly description highlights AutoCAD Named View export, Named View import, Visual Style transfer, DCL workflow automation, Civil 3D drafting productivity, and CAD standards management. Important Notes ⚠️ The helper buttons use a hard-coded fixed support folder, so the path should be adjusted before deploying on another workstation. ⚠️ The TXT import file should be created by this tool. Manually edited or malformed view data may fail during import. ⚠️ Some embedded help lines in the source appear inherited from a UCS import/export tool, but the implemented workflow exports and imports AutoCAD Named Views and Visual Styles.
