Editing a Linked Renderworks Camera

You can edit a linked Renderworks camera, to change the associated sheet layer viewport’s view.

To edit a linked Renderworks camera:

  1. Select the viewport.

  2. Select Modify > Edit Viewport. The Edit Viewport dialog box opens (see Editing a Design Layer Displayed in a Viewport for a description of the dialog box parameters).

  3. Click Camera.

  4. An alert dialog box opens. Click OK to enter Edit Renderworks Camera mode.

  5. Alternatively, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on a viewport and select Edit Camera from the context menu.

    A colored border around the drawing window indicates that you are in an editing mode. The Exit Renderworks Camera command becomes available from the Modify menu, and the Return to Viewport button is visible in the top right corner of the drawing window.

  6. The design layer that was active when the viewport was created is active, and the linked Renderworks camera object is selected. Edit the camera view as described in Adjusting the Camera View.

  7. The camera can be deleted. The view and projection parameters are controlled by the viewport if the camera is deleted.

    If no Renderworks camera is linked to the viewport, select a camera to be linked. Alternatively, the view can be manipulated with the standard view tools (such as the Flyover tool, zoom level, and View menu commands), changing the viewport view upon exit.

  8. Click Return to Viewport to return to the viewport once the Renderworks camera has been edited or deleted. The viewport’s view, projection, and perspective distance are updated.
