Place Layout Viewports
You can create a single viewport that fits the entire layout or place multiple
viewports in the layout.
Using the Viewports dialog box, you can insert a variety of standard or
named viewport configurations in the layout. The configuration you choose
depends on how you plan to view and ultimately plot the drawing model.
The following illustrations display various configuration options.
A model viewport configuration that you saved and named in the Model tab
can be placed in a layout. When you save and name a viewport arrangement,
the name is added to the list of available viewport arrangements.
You can resize a viewport by using its grips to change how much model space
geometry is displayed in the viewport. Scaling the viewport using the
SCALE
command changes the viewport size without affecting the magnification of
the view. To scale a view within a viewport, you can change the zoom
magnification. You can also modify the plot scale of the viewport object by
selecting a Standard Scale or entering a Custom Scale in the Properties
3window.
