Mason Dixon Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 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? Quote
ReMark Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Did you draw everything in model space full size? Have you created a layout yet? Quote
Mason Dixon Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Everything is full size, and I use quick layouts to setup page manager. Quote
ReMark Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Well now that you have a layout you must create your viewport(s). You know how to do this right? Quote
ReMark Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 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. Quote
