Viewport properties

Once it has been created, edit the viewport in the Object Info palette, or select Properties from the viewport’s context menu to open the Properties dialog box. See Modifying viewports for additional ways to edit viewports.

A viewport is assigned to the None class by default when it is created; its class can be changed after creation. A viewport’s visibility is controlled by the class visibility settings (see Concept: Visibility of drawing elements).

When multiple viewports are selected for editing, and if the parameter settings of the selected viewports are different, parameters display in an “indeterminate state.” Any values changed are changed for all the selected viewports.

Many parameters can be edited from both the Properties dialog box and the Object Info palette for ease of access. The fields in the Object Info palette are named similarly (but not always identically) to those in the Properties dialog box. The parameters are described in the sections listed, which explain how to create each kind of viewport. Only the parameters that are different in the Object Info palette are listed here.
