ReMark Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Did you try locking the display for the new viewport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Were you in the new viewport when you issued the UCSFOLLOW command? Also, use Ctrl+R to move between viewports once one is active, this is helpful when you have one viewport over another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadgpanther Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 remark yep, that did not work either, i read something about using wipeout, and some sequence of commands.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 OK...well now I'm lost. We went from zoom > extents in a viewport to using a wipeout. What is it that you are trying to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadgpanther Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 remark two viewports, 1x already generated, 1x new one, within the existing viewport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 remark yep, that did not work either, i read something about using wipeout, and some sequence of commands.. viewports inside viewports - 3 methods 1) First draw a rectangle that will be the size wanted for the big viewport. Use the Region command and make that a region, now use the Mview command, Object option and pick the region. Adjust the view in that viewport accordingly. Now draw circles or polygons, etc. that will represent the smaller viewport(s). Place those where you will want them. Use the Region command again. Use the subtract command and pick the large region then the smaller one(s). Now draw the circles again in the blank space, use the Mview command, Object option. Adjust those viewports accordingly. Because these are regions now you won't be able to edit them like a normal viewport, IE: grip stretch, etc. 2) In MS use wipeout to hide the area you want another VP to reside. Now in PS use MVIEW and grab the opposite corners of the wipeout. Pan and zoom in the new viewport accordingly. 3) In PS you can draw a continuous pline with a large rectangle and then move into the center and draw a smaller rectangle, all in the same pline command. You will have two plines one of top of the other going to the smaller rectangle but that is ok because it won't show. Nowuse the MVIEW command and use Object option. Now use MVIEW again to define the smaller viewport grabbing the opposite corners of the small rectangle. Or after drawing the closed pline, create an mview, then use theCLIP command and pick on the viewport and then the closed pline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
