Overlapping Viewports......

[Dave^]

Hi Guys,

i'm trying to work out/find out if, when overlapping viewports, there's a way to blank out a portion of one of the viewports, so that when plotting, i don't have a load of confusing lines covering each other...

a bit like what can be done with text, so it is shown on a plain background, rather than a load of lines behind it.....

don't think i've explained that very well, but hopefully one of you will know what i'm waffling on about.....

:?

s'ok.... sorted it (i think) with vpclip.....

i did try it earlier, and couldn't sus it....

tried it again now and i think i've cracked it!

edit: this only seems to work if the two viewports overlap.... can this command be used/worked around for a viewport inside another viewport?

google was my friend....

all sorted now....
