align viewports question

[mikekmx]

Sorry, i couldn't think of a decent title.

 

If i have 2 viewports side by side at the same scale (1 x front elevation, 1 x side elevation), what's the best way to get an object to 'line up' horizontally in the 2 viewports?

It's not majorly important so i generally eyeball it, but a better way would be... better.

command MVSETUP > ALIGN-option is how I usually do it. Perhaps the ALIGN-command works too, haven't tried it.

 

A better way is always better

Use the Alignspace command, which is an Express tool, but I am guessing that it might not be an option

if you are really using Electrical 2008?

Short demonstration on Alignspace

Just use plain ole move command, pick one viewport, then snap to the line, then snap perp to the line in the other VP.

cheers all :Di will try the options.

 

knew there had to be a way. and yes, elec 2008, but running in vanilla mode always. seems to have align space in the express tools.

alignspace works good. will try the others tho.

 

 

self-taught = big gaps, but i never really had a need for this before. thanks.
