Create Viewport

View

To create a design layer viewport that displays a design layer in the same file:

1.      Select the command. Alternatively, from either the Organization dialog box or the Navigation palette, select the Viewports tab, and click New.

2.      The Create Viewport dialog box opens. The scale, view, and render mode of the viewport are determined by the design layer on which it is placed; they cannot be changed here. Set the other viewport parameters. After the viewport has been created, additional parameters become available; see Modifying viewports.

The viewport is created on the designated design layer, and the design layer becomes active. The viewport can be cropped, as described in Cropping existing sheet layer or design layer viewports.
