Align MS with PS

[NBC]

another way would be to copy one of the lines intra-spatial (from model to paper, or paper to model).
this would be done by copying one of the lines, then using CHSPACE.
then you could move the viewport, as i detailed above.

'course I can move it! But I can't find the snap point between the actual Viewport and the lines in MS....so then even if I can move it, I can't use SNAP to align it properly

the snapping cross-spatial must be a new feature of 2007 and beyond then, or something ?

works fine for me

how do you mean Cymro?

Boundary: Define window.
Select area you need


in the viewport
view
set current.

ahhhh, the problem is she just wants to get the LS running horizontal in the viewport. For some reason (beyond me) when she brings the LS into PS through a viewport, it gets rotated slightly. I dunno.

Thanks all!

Cymro - thanks, I've only done that to get the view rotated the way I needed, not just to get an area to show, so I've defintaly learnt something new today!

NBC - the CHSPACE works beautifully and the interspatial (isn't that a very fancy word ) snaps is another issue...

But I'm sorted now - thanks again!!

you will need to be in paperspace, prior to starting this.

why not just MOVE the entire viewport, using one of the lines within the viewport as the base point, to one of the lines in paperspace ?
then if you need to stretch the extents of the viewport, that is fairly simple; by selecting the viewport, and using the grips

That method works in 2000i, so it should be working. I do it all the time. Try to right-click to select your snaps.

thanks for the graphical backup AGM.

SLW - that works for me too. What doesn't work though is to find the intersection snap point between the line of the Viewport and the line inside the Viewport which is in MS...

I get what you are saying now, Tiger. You need to use Polar Tracking. Put your cursor on the line you want to line-up and let it find a snap point on that line, then move your cursor to the corner of the Viewport and follow it up till it gives you the intersection.

[Tiger]

Ahh!! SLW!!! Once again, you've done it!! Now, why the polar manages to find the intersection when the 'true snap' doesn't I will never know...
