On Turns on a viewport, making it active and making its objects visible.
Off Turns off a viewport. When a viewport is off, its objects are not displayed,
and you cannot make that viewport current.
Fit Creates one viewport that fills the available display area. The actual size
of the viewport depends on the dimensions of the paper space view.
Shadeplot Specifies how viewports in layouts are plotted.
As Displayed: Plots the same way it is displayed
Wireframe: Plots wireframe regardless of display
Hidden: Plots with hidden lines removed regardless of display
Visual Styles: Plots using the specified visual style; all visual styles in the
drawing are listed as options whether in use or not
Render Presets: Plots using the specified render preset; all render presets are
listed as options
Lock Locks the current viewport. This is similar to layer locking.
Object Creates a non-rectangular layout viewport from a closed polyline,
ellipse, spline, region, or circle. The polyline you specify must be closed and
contain at least three vertices. It can be self-intersecting, and it can contain
arcs as well as line segments.
It is important to create layout viewports on their own layer. When you are
ready to plot, you can turn off the layer and plot the layout without plotting
the boundaries of the layout viewports.
Polygonal Creates a non-rectangular layout viewport defined by a series of
line and arc segments.
The descriptions of the Next Point, Arc, Close, Length, and Undo options
match the descriptions of the corresponding options in the
PLINE (page 785)
command.
