tigerlilygirl Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have 5 drawings that all have the same model (basically a topo map of a 2 mile radius) but each have unique info, i.e. monitoring well locations, utility info, etc. The client wants a zoomed in view of a 1 block radius and I need all 5 drawings to have an identical zoom. How do I adjust my viewports in each drawing so they are zoomed in to the exact same place? I'm using AutoCAD 2007 for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Make copies of your Layout tabs, copy & paste with basepoints the viewports or draw a rectangle in modelspace and match the viewport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Use ZOOM > OBJECT and pick an object that you want to define the center of the view, then change your viewport scale as needed (the view will remain centered on that object) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph_map Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 AutoCAD MAP3D and the mapbook tools could do that. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
