...trim out a smaller viewport from inside a big viewport???

[Gar]

Gang-

Long time no post... sorry.

Got a question:
I am trying to place a smaller vp in the top corner of a bigger vp so that i can show *where* on the floorplan that the cabinet (...that I am showing in the bigger vp as an elevation...) is.

I am using AutoCAD 2004, (ugh!) and have tried to use the "Clip Existing Viewport" command... and a bunch of others.... one way was to select the smaller vp, select "Display viewports oblects" to "no" then back to "yes" and then i was able to get back into the smaller vp's model space... but s soon as i select the big vp, i cannot get back into the small vp unless i do the above... (maybe i should write a lisp to do that?)

We have an extensive number of viewports to adjust in this way (more than 100 i think...)

Looking forward to your inputs! Thanks....

You can hold down the Ctrl key and hit R to toggle between your large and small viewports. Just double click inside the large viewport to activate model space, then Ctrl+R to switch to the small one.

Did that (I should have mentioned it... I was in a rush to get to a staff meeting, so I didn't get to...)

That's probably what we'll have to do... just zoom in close so that a few number of vp's are showing and ctrl+R away....

TYTY Cad64!
