You can use object snaps, such as endpoint or intersection, to accurately select
the two corners of the viewport. The following illustration shows viewports:
Viewports
NOTE
You can later edit the size of the viewports. When in paper space, pick on
the viewport, and then pick on the corner you want to move. This activates
the STRETCH command.
Choosing a Viewport Category
Use the Set Viewport Category command to specify what each viewport
contains when a sheet series is generated and what the view scale is.
You can classify viewports as either plan or profile. If you want to create a
Plan/Profile sheet, for example, then use the Set Viewport Category command
to define one viewport as plan and the other viewport as profile.
The view scale determines the relationship between model space entities and
paper space representation. For example, if you set the paper space view scale to
50, then a model space entity that is 100 units long would appear as only 2
units in paper space.
To set the viewport category
1
From the Sheet Manager menu, choose Sheet Styles ä Set Viewport Category.
2
Select a viewport. Use your pointing device to pick the edge of the viewport, or
use a window or crossing selection.
