Managing Viewports from the Command Line

CAD drafting Managing Viewports from the Command Line 0 Command line: -VPORTS, -VIEWPORTS

The command allows managing viewports both in model space and paper space.

The prompt with available options is displayed in the command line, after the command is launched:

Enter viewport option [Save/Restore/Delete/1/2/3/4/Object/Polygonal/REctangular/ Fit/ON(off)/Lock(unlock)/Clip/LAyer]<1>:

Command options:

Save	Saves a current configuration of viewports in model space. When the option is selected, model space is switched to paper space.
Restore	Restores previously saved configuration of viewports (selected configuration is shown on the screen). When a configuration is selected in paper space it is offered to create a configuration of viewports the same as a current configuration of viewports in model space. You can perform the operation with Restore configuration command.
Delete	Deletes a previously saved configuration of viewports in model space. You can perform the operation with the Delete configuration command.
1	Restores a configuration with one viewport (view is taken from the last viewport) in model space. Creates one viewport in paper space.
2	Creates a configuration with horizontal or vertical arrangement of viewports. An arrangement is specified with an option from the command line: Enter an option [Horizontal/Vertical]<Vertical>:
3	Creates a configuration of three viewports. An arrangement is specified with an option from the command line: Enter an option [Horizontal/Vertical/Left/Right/Top/Bottom]<Right>:
4	Creates a configuration of four viewports.
Object	Transforms previously created closed objects (circles, ellipses, closed polylines and splines) into viewports in paper space (for more information see “Create a viewport by object” section).
Polygonal	Creates a polygonal viewport in paper space. Option is available in a current layout, where you want to place a viewport, and also is available in model space (for more information see “Create a polygonal viewport” section).
REctangular	Creates a rectangular viewport in paper space. Option is available in a current layout, where you want to place a viewport, and also is available in model space (for more information see “Create a rectangular viewport” section).
Fit	The option allows creating an inscribed viewport in a current layout, where all objects from model space are inscribed.
ON(off)	Switches on/off display of viewport content.
Lock(unlock)	Locks/unlocks a viewport. You can lock a viewport to make earlier specified scale unchanged (zooming inside a viewport does not change a scale of viewport).
Clip	Clips borders of viewports (for more information see “Set show boundary for a viewport” section).
LAyer	Resets viewport layer property overrides.
