OMEGA-ThundeR Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 You can use VPCLIP for that. Run command -> Select original viewport -> Select new (closed) polyline -> New viewport has been made with same properties as the main one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 A little more information is needed. Can you post an image of the desired result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 hiusing acad 2010 i want to create a viewport, and then draw rectangles around some portions in that viewport, and have those squares to become new viewports. how? viewports inside viewports - 3 methods 1) First draw a rectangle that will be the size wanted for the big viewport. Use the Region command and make that a region, now use the Mview command, Object option and pick the region. Adjust the view in that viewport accordingly. Now draw circles or polygons, etc. that will represent the smaller viewport(s). Place those where you will want them. Use the Region command again. Use the subtract command and pick the large region then the smaller one(s). Now draw the circles again in the blank space, use the Mview command, Object option. Adjust those viewports accordingly. Because these are regions now you won't be able to edit them like a normal viewport, IE: grip stretch, etc. 2) In MS use wipeout to hide the area you want another VP to reside. Now in PS use MVIEW and grab the opposite corners of the wipeout. 3) In PS you can draw a continuous pline with a large rectangle and then move into the center and draw a smaller rectangle, all in the same pline command. You will have two plines one of top of the other going to the smaller rectangle but that is ok because it won't show. Now use the MVIEW command and use Object option. Now use MVIEW again to define the smaller viewport grabbing the opposite corners of the small rectangle. Or after drawing the closed pline, create an mview, then use the CLIP command and pick on the viewport and then the closed pline. 3a) See drawing that explains how to have two overlapping viewports where you can stretch the smaller one and have both vp's adjust at the same time. viewport in viewport 2007.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
