  4. You can create a single layout viewport that fits the entire layout or create multiple layout viewports in the layout. Once you create the viewports, you can change their size, their properties, and also scale and move them as needed.

    With MVIEW, you have several options for creating one or more layout viewports. You can also use COPY create multiple layout viewports.

    Note:

    It is important to create layout viewports on their own layer. When you are ready to output your drawing, you can turn off the layer and output the layout without the boundaries of the layout viewports.

Also, Viewports (VPORTS) allow you to create multiple viewing windows, which can be set to display different views of a model, in TILEMODE.

The Create Layout Wizard is fine when you're starting out, but most drawings have unique, nonstandardized arrangements of viewports.

Quickly Make a new Viewport Posted on June 29, 2011by AutoCAD Tips

Here is a quick tip to quickly make a new paper space viewport.

Set the layer to what you want the viewport frame to be on. It is best to use a designated layer for viewports that are set to not plot. Please don’t use the layer “DEFPOINTS” for viewports. You may run into some weird issues. For an example of what issue can arise from using DEFPOINTS on objects, see this post:https://autocadtips.wordpress.com/2014/09/05/issues-with-using-defpoints-for-viewports/

Below is an example of a few layers in the “Layer Manager”. Notice that the “Viewport” layer is set to not plot.

Layer for Viewports set to not plot

While in “Paper Space” is active (Layout1) Go to the “Layout” tab on the ribbon > “Layout Viewports” panel > –VPORTS tools (big button tool)

Layout Viewports of the ribbon

The command -VPORTS  or by using the tool on the ribbon you will have options like making a polygon or selecting an object such a closed polyline, circle or ellipse to be the shape of the viewport. If you don’t need these options, you can quickly use the command alias MV <enter> and then pick 2 points to define a rectangle and your viewport is made…

View port is used to see the same design from different sides.

The user's visible area on computer screen of a Drawing in AutoCAD known as the viewport ,,,,it is the basic and necessary part for visualization and scaling of autocad drawing's output,,,,so the user's are allowed to add multiple number of viewports for expressing multiple views to show behaviour of the targeted drawing for getting the best results as per their specific requirements.

  1. Create a new layout in the drawing.

    Click Quick View Layouts to display the preview images, and then right-click an image and choose New Layout. A new layout is added to the end of the image strip.

  2. Click the image of the new layout to open it.

    A new layout appears in the drawing window, showing the default sheet area and a single rectangular viewport centered on the sheet. (You want to create a custom viewport, so in the next step, you’ll delete this default one.)

  3. Move the crosshairs over the viewport boundary and click to select it, and then press the Delete key.

    Although a viewport doesn’t behave like other drawing objects, it is an object, just like a line or a circle. And like any other drawing object, a viewport can be selected and moved, copied, resized, arrayed, or deleted.

  4. On the Ribbon, click the Layout tab; then in the Layout Viewports panel, choose Rectangular.

    If the Rectangular button is grayed out (we know, they’re all rectangular — it’s the one that says Rectangular), you’re still in model space. Switch to paper space.

    AutoCAD prompts you to pick the first corner of the new viewport.

  5. Pick a point somewhere on the blank page to locate the first corner of the new viewport.

    AutoCAD prompts you to pick the second corner.

  6. Pick another point to place the second corner of the new viewport.

    AutoCAD draws the viewport, and the model space geometry appears inside it. Next, specify a drawing scale for the viewport(s).

    Specifying the correct viewport scale sooner rather than later bestows a couple of important benefits. You can

    • Use annotative documentation objects such as text, dimensions, hatch patterns, blocks, and noncontinuous (dash-dot) linetypes.

    • Easily plot the completed layout at a scale of 1:1 while retaining individual, true-to-scale viewports.

  7. Click the viewport boundary that you want to apply a scale to.

    The Viewport Scale button appears toward the right end of the status bar.

  8. Click the Viewport Scale button on the status bar.

    Clicking the Viewport Scale button opens a pop-up list of every drawing scale that’s registered in the scales list, including metric scales, even if you’re working in a drawing using English units and vice versa.

    Most of the time, way too many scales are in the lists you see in the Viewport Scale button and the Plot dialog box. AutoCAD has a handy-dandy Edit Drawing Scales dialog box that lets you remove those imperial scales if you never work with feet and inches, and vice versa if you work only in metric.

    To run through the scales, choose Scale List from the Annotation Scaling panel on the Annotate tab, or type SCALELISTEDIT and press Enter to open the Edit Drawing Scales dialog box. If (okay — when) you make a mistake, the Reset button in the Edit Drawing Scales dialog box restores all the default scales.

  9. Find the scale that you want to apply to the active viewport, and select it from the list.

    The display zooms in or out to adjust to the chosen viewport scale automatically. You should lock the viewport when the scale is correct. It’s easy to blow the scale as you pan and zoom.
