How to viewports?

[Mason Dixon]

Sorry for all the questions guys, but I am sooo close to being able to turn this project in.

My problem is that up till now, everything I've drawn has been close to the same size, usually a couple of inches per piece. I normally just drag my titleblock over the pieces and then open up a viewport over the pieces. This allows me to pan and zoom the pieces into position. Now, I have 1 piece at close to 100 feet long and another piece that is a couple inches, how do I get both on screen without the smaller one being too small to see?

Did you draw everything in model space full size?

Have you created a layout yet?

Everything is full size, and I use quick layouts to setup page manager.

Well now that you have a layout you must create your viewport(s). You know how to do this right?

Viewports can be assigned a scale. Objects that might look small in model space can be depicted in a larger scale. Objects that are quite large can be depicted at a smaller scale.

I find that having the Viewports toolbar enabled gives me better control over and quicker access to the assigning of a scale to a viewport.
