viewports lisp

[SCORE]

I usually work in the three viewports left configuration with the left window in top, the right in sw iso and the bottom right in front. is there a way to save this somewhere so when I open a new drawing I can go straight to it? or maybe a lisp routine to set it all up? I already made some lisp routings to get there but it takes about 4 steps.

 

 

thanks

Model space or paper space viewports?

Model space

Why wouldn't you already have this setup in your template file?

Most of the drawings I work in are already started by somebody else. but I could do that for when I start new dwg

OK, that's what I thought you asked in your first post. Then you went and changed the criteria. Looks like you're still in need of that lisp routine.

ive made 1 lisp to get the view port configuration, and 3 other lisp to get to the view I want, I just don't know how to tie them all together and make it on command

Sounds like too much work to me. I would have used the Action Recorder and skipped the whole lisp thing. Record a macro, save it, play it back.

ok ive never messed with the action recorder, ill give that a shot

It will give you something to do until one of the lisp gurus show up to assist you with your custom routine.

that action recorder is awesome! it worked first try.. is there a way to turn your recording into a command or have a lisp activate it?

[SCORE]

never mind I figured out how to make a lisp out of it! im going to have lots of fun with this action recorder thing!

I've absolutely no clue. Minor parlor tricks I can handle. For real magic you have to wait for a professional.

Score a good idea is to post code it may be useful for some one else and others will other suggestions on how to improve.

well here is my lisps I made, there pretty simple

 

 

(defun C:v3 ()

(command "-Vports" "3" "l")

)

 

 

(defun C:1 ()

(command "-VIEW" "SW")

)

 

 

(defun C:5 ()

(command "-VIEW" "TOP")

)

 

 

 

(defun C:6 ()

(command "-VIEW" "FRONT")

)

 

 

I figured out after you make you action recorder whatever you name it you can type that into the command line and it will play the action. so I named it v12, it works like a charm. im still going to try and figure out how to make a lisp to do everything

is there a command to toggle viewports in model space? I think I would need that to make my lisp..

Ctrl + R will cycle through viewports in both model and paper space

[SCORE]

I wouldn't know how to implement ctrl + R into a lisp. is there a command? my ctrl + R is set up as a hot key for something else
