Circular Viewports

[mr_mojo_risin]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there any way I can create a circular viewport in AutoCAD 2008 LT.

 

Thanks:)

In full AutoCAD you can use the MVIEW command to create nonrectangular viewports. Is there such a command in LT?

[mr_mojo_risin]

There is an MVIEW command, but the options are [ON/OFF/Fit/Shadeplot/Lock/Restore/LAyer/2/3/4].

I came across this somewhere some time back, been using it ever since. Very useful.

Viewports.dwg

That is odd. Try typing o at the command prompt anyway.

Here's an option. In paper space draw a circle. Then click on Modify > Object > Viewport and follow the prompts. Does that work?

i dont know if this is only in 2009 but in my layers toolbar i have a button to change object in paperspace to viewport?

I have that command in 2008 full. If you bring up the viewport toolbar and go in paperspace, you can draw a circle and use that command from the tool bar (Convert Object to Viewport). But again,I have the full versionso you would have to check.

I have 2009 FULL and it says [ON/OFF/Fit/Shadeplot/Lock/Object/Polygonal/Restore/LAyer/2/3/4]

 

So...I guess the OP doesn't have those options in LT.

In Acad 2008, there is another option. Like ReMark said, draw your circle in paper space. Then go to view > viewports > object, and select your circle.

 

I dont know if this works in 2002.
