adjusting viewports

[alijahed]

Hi All,

I have 4 viewports (STD Engineering views) in top right I have a 3D view, in top left Top view, in bottom left Front view and in bottom right I hve the Right view of the object.
The question is, How can I perfectly line up these views? with Pan command I can't do that is there any solution?

Cheers

I would turn Ortho on and draw some temporary lines in paper space to use for aligining the drawings within the viewports. Then just use the Move command, select a viewport, and then use Osnaps to align each object with the other.

It's a good idea,:shock:

For future reference look into SOLVIEW and SOLDRAW.

aligning objects in viewports...one thing that inventor definitely has over AutoCAD...well, as he mentioned above, just treat the viewports as objects and just move them with basepoints to line up with one another...if you're comfortable with OTRACK, then just let that do the work for you instead of drawing separate lines, though...it's quick when you get it

I sometimes simplify the topic and tell my students to just use the 'construction line' tool and pick either Horiz. or Vert. and just go snapping to places you want to keep aligned...less clicks than using line tools...
