Viewing Drawings

Key Concepts
■
When you save a view, both the viewing position, such as a specific
pan or zoom position, and scale are saved.
■
If you work in tiled viewports in model space, then only the view
in the current viewport is saved. If you work in paper space, you
can save the entire layout, including one or more floating
viewports.
■
When you restore a named view in model space, it replaces the
active viewport. In paper space, however, the restored view replaces
the entire layout, including one or more floating viewports.
For more information about viewports, see “Working in Model Space
and Layout Mode” in Chapter 4, “Working with Drawing and
Editing Tools.”
For more information, use to look up “Using Named Views” and
“Saving Views” in the online Help.
Saving Drawings as Bitmap Files
You can save a view so that it can be inserted in a document. For
example, if you save a viewport as a bitmap file, you can insert it into
a Word
document.
