MVSETUP on a Named Layout
Quick Reference
See also:
■ Create and Modify Layout Viewports
On a named layout, you can insert one of several predefined title blocks into
the drawing and create a set of layout viewports within the title block.
You can specify a global scale as the ratio between the scale of the title block
in the layout and the drawing on the Model layout.
To easily specify all layout page settings and prepare your drawing for plotting,
you can also use the Page Setup Manager.
List of Prompts
When the TILEMODE system variable is off, or when you enter y or press Enter
at the Enable Paper Space prompt, the following prompts are displayed:
Enter an option [Align on page 1266/Create on page 1267/Scale viewports on page
1268/
Options on page 1268/Title block on page 1268/Undo on page 1268]: Enter an
option or press Enter to end the command
Align
Pans the view in a viewport so that it aligns with a base point in another
viewport. The current viewport is the viewport that the other point moves to.
Angled Pans the view in a viewport in a specified direction.
The next two prompts specify the distance and angle from the base point to
the second point.
Horizontal Pans the view in one viewport until it aligns horizontally with a
base point in another viewport. This option should be used only if the two
viewports are oriented horizontally. Otherwise, the view might be panned
outside the limits of the viewport.
Vertical Alignment Pans the view in one viewport until it aligns vertically
with a base point in another viewport. This option should be used only if the
two viewports are oriented vertically. Otherwise, the view might be panned
outside the limits of the viewport.
Rotate View Rotates the view in a viewport about a base point.
Undo Reverses operations performed in the current MVSETUP session.
