To create a viewport from a design layer:
1. Select View > Create Viewport.
2. The Create Viewport dialog box opens. The viewport parameters are initially set to be the same as those of the design layer that is currently active, but they can be changed here. After the viewport has been created, additional parameters become available; see Viewport Properties.
For Vectorworks Design Series products, the Create Viewport dialog box has additional functionality for creating design layer viewports; see Creating a Design Layer Viewport from an Internal Design Layer.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
3. Enter the desired parameters and click OK.
4. If a sheet layer does not already exist in the file, the New Sheet Layer dialog box opens automatically to create one. Click OK.
The viewport is created on the designated sheet layer, and the sheet layer becomes active.
