Save and Restore Model Layout Viewport Arrangements
Arrangements of model viewports can be saved and restored by name.
You do not have to set up viewports and views every time you need them.
With VPORTS, viewport arrangements can be saved and later restored by
name. Settings that are saved with viewport arrangements include
■ The number and position of viewports
■ The views that the viewports contain
■ The grid and snap settings for each viewport
■ The UCS icon display setting for each viewport
You can list, restore, and delete the available viewport arrangements. A
viewport arrangement saved on the Model layout can be inserted on a named
layout.
To save and name a viewport arrangement
1 Click View tab ➤ Viewports panel ➤ Named.
2 In the Viewports dialog box, New Viewports tab, enter a name for the
viewport configuration in the New Name box.
The name can be up to 255 characters long and contain letters, digits,
the special characters dollar sign ($), hyphen (-), and underscore (_).
3 Click OK.
NOTE You can save a viewport arrangement only on the Model layiout.
To restore a saved viewport arrangement
1 Click View tab ➤ Viewports panel ➤ Named.
