Advanced design layer viewport properties
To access additional design layer viewport parameters, click Advanced Properties from the Object Info palette of a selected viewport or from the Edit Viewport Style dialog box. The Advanced Viewport Properties dialog box opens. These settings affect the viewport display only; they do not affect the original design layer(s).

Description |
|
By Style/Instance |
A graphic indicates whether each parameter that can be set by the viewport style is set to By Style and given a fixed value or set to By Instance and editable in the dialog box. A style may have a combination of both settings, to balance the need for consistency and flexibility. The viewport's style is set on the Create Viewport dialog box or Object Info palette. By Style/Instance settings are established by the style and cannot be changed from the Create Viewport dialog box. To edit the style, see Creating and editing viewport styles; editing the style modifies all viewports in the file that use that style.

|
Black and white only |
Changes all colors in the viewport to black or white; this is useful for displaying two viewport copies on the same design layer, with one in color and the other in black and white. However, if the document preferences display setting is black and white, viewports will also display as black and white. |
|
Adjust flipped text |
Re-orients rotated and flipped text in the viewport so that it is always readable. The text box stays in the rotated and flipped position relative to the dimension line, but the text itself is re-oriented. (This setting overrides the flipped text preference for the document; see Document preferences: Display tab.) |
|
Re-position dimension text |
Re-positions rotated and flipped dimension text in the viewport according to the text position in the dimension standard. The text itself stays in the rotated and flipped orientation, but the text box position relative to the dimension line is changed. (This setting overrides the flipped text preference for the document; see Document preferences: Display tab.) |
